“My wife, Dongmei, and I recently boarded our Golden Retriever, Sagan, with Janessa for an overnight stay. Sagan just turned one year old, and this was the first time we had ever left him with someone other than family, so we were naturally a little nervous. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. Janessa took great care of Sagan and made him feel right at home. It was clear he had a fantastic time playing with Janessa's dogs and the other dogs she was boarding. When we picked him up the next morning, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable in her care. The biggest sign of how much fun he had came afterward. As soon as he got in the car, he completely crashed from all the excitement and activity. Once we got home, he slept for several hours and seemed incredibly content. Any Golden Retriever owner knows that's usually the sign of a very good day. Janessa was friendly, professional, and gave us confidence that Sagan was in great hands. In fact, we felt so good about the experience that we've already booked her to care for Sagan for two weeks while we travel to China later this summer. We're grateful to have found Janessa and her family and look forward to having Sagan stay with them again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dog-loving sitter.”
“Quang was amazing. Every day during our fur babies’ stay we received pictures and videos of their activities along with updates. He was super responsive, trustworthy and attentive. Will DEFINITELY be having him watch our babies again!”
“Chloe is amazing. Pictures and videos every day. We could tell that our dog was not only cared for but loved. Definitely would recommend and she will absolutely be our first choice in the future”
“Erika is a great dog sitter. She took good care of my dog and was flexible, communicative, and kind. My dog was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend this sitter.”
“Jaime and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog Hershey!! It was Hershey's first time away from us and Jaime helped her through it from being stressed to having fun Absolutely would use her services again and highly recommend to everyone else”
“Lexi and Vic are one of a kind! Super accommodating and easy to coordinate with. My dog Finn had a blast running around with their furry friend all week and they sent great updates to let me know how my pup was doing. 10/10 would recommend and will book again!”
“My dogs were well taken care of at Courtney’s. I appreciate her regular updates and schedule flexibility. She and her family were so accommodating, even with my troublesome 6 month old puppy. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Super awesome sitter. My original plans for vacation had moved and Theresa was super cool about moving dates. She and her partner gave me lots of pics and were able to make friends with my shy pup. It was nice not having to worry about her while I was on vacation.”
“Wendy, James and family took great care of our dog over the holidays. They send daily updates and pictures, and we could see that our pup was well taken care of. She is prone to gunk around the eyes and they even took care to inform me of it and help remove some of it so she would feel more comfortable. Also our dog never took to crate training, and the family has a great set up with room to roam and separate space for the dogs, if needed. Ideal for dogs like ours who don’t like to be crated/kenneled. Would love to have Wendy and family care for our dog again!”
“This is my second go around with Leslie she’s kind and prompt and you can tell she really loved what’s she’s doing. The care she has shown my animal has been a contributing factor on me writing this review as well as trusting her deeply with my baby. My lala loves going over there and her space is clean and open and wants you to feel the most comfortable always. I’m a forever customer ♥️”
“Bryon and Peggy are excellent dog sitters!!! Our Abbey just loves them. She gets lots of play time and gets to sleep with whoever she chooses too! We trust them completely and highly recommend them. Thank you !! Barry and Renee.”
“Thanks for taking care of Oliver like he is your own dog. We did not feel missing him with your updates regarding his meals and pictures. He really seemed like enjoyed all the walks.”
“Jessi and her family are so wonderful! This is the second time Jessi’s watched our dog and we can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She goes above and beyond. We hope we’re lucky enough to have her babysit again.”
“Heather was great! She made sure maple was fed and happy. She sent lots of pictures to keep updated which I loved! She was very quick to respond and very friendly! Would definitely book again!”
“Lisa was amazing. It was my first time leaving Henry (16-month-old mini bernedoodle) with someone I didn't know well. She took him on multiple daily adventures outside, sent tons of photos, communication was excellent, and he was a very happy and tired pup when I got back. I highly recommend Lisa and will be using her again in the future!”
“Debbi and her family do such a great job taking care of Coach. He comes home exhausted after a week of play and love at her house. She is great about sending daily updates along with pics and is very responsive when there is a question. Debbi is our go to person whenever we travel.”
“Liz did a wonderful job with our dog Chunk! It was our first time leaving him with her and she made sure to send us frequent pictures and updates. Absolutely recommend if your pet loves all the attention because Liz will give it to them!”

“Lora was excellent! She came and did a meet and greet with our kitty cats before we left for our trip. We could tell right away that she is a very experienced pet caretaker and a true animal lover. We felt very comfortable leaving our kitties in her care. We would highly recommend Lora, and plan on reaching out to her again the next time we go out of town.”

“Amanda was amazing! She was incredible with our two cats. We needed to find someone quickly before an international trip and we are so happy we found her. She sent us messages and pictures of them every day, seeing them every night before bed helped us feel at peace and that they were in great hands. I totally recommend her and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Elizabeth is such a kind human and went above and behind to take care of our two kitties & home! I would highly recommend booking with her and will definitely use her in the future :)”
“Another completely successful visit with Lindsay! Selfishly I hope she never moves - she makes me the most comfortable of anyone I’ve ever found on Rover and is so responsible and the most communicative. And most importantly, she takes the best care of my two kitties. I am so grateful I found her!!!”
About: Hi! I have a deep love for all types of cats and their different personalities. I have experience taking care of friends and neighbors cats, currently, and as a kid. I would love to help you and your kitty in any way that I can whether that be snuggles, playing with their favorite toy, providing company, feeding and refilling water bowls and I can deep clean litter boxes too. I have experience with kittens and older cats and I’m more than happy to spend extra time with them for snuggles or play time. I run my own business from home so I have extremely flexible hours. I will happily visit whenever is best for your kitty 😊 I’m a big fan of open communication and will provide lots of updates while you’re away. I’m more than happy to send pet pictures/video updates too! I’m committed to making sure your cat gets the care and attention they deserve and are treated as if they were my own
“Gianna was very helpful in a last-minute request for our 4 cats, including one who requires inhaler and medicine administration. She provided thorough updates and shared pictures of all four (even the hard to find ones). For disclosure, I am a Rover employee.”
“Jennifer was great as usual! We had a lovely Christmas with my parents and got updates on our cat every day. We're so grateful for the care she shows our cat when we're away.”
“Mindy is great! She is a cat whisperer and our cat loved her from the start! Friendly, punctual, responsive and helpful. Sent us picture updates after every visit. Will hire her again.”
About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.
About: I grew up with three cats and helped take care of them. I also have experience looking after my friends and family’s cats. I absolutely love hanging out with cats and their personalities. I’m also good with cats from all ages and temperaments!
About: I’ve cared for cats with many different personalities, from social and affectionate to quiet and independent. I know cats can be sensitive to change, so I always take things slowly and follow their comfort level. I pay close attention to routines like feeding, litter box care, and playtime, and I watch for small behavior changes. I never force interaction and let cats come to me when they’re ready. My goal is to keep things calm and make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I love cats and have a natural connection with them. I enjoy playing, interacting, and getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Cats seem to respond well to my energy, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care while you’re away.

“I’ve booked with Mariah for 3 times now with more to come! My pup is always excited when I drop her off and so happy and relaxed when i picked her up. She’s obviously very well taken care off when i’m at work.”
“Cheri has watched our pup twice and both times he’s come home content and ready for a little shut eye - it must be the nice, long walk in the forest. :) … Thank you for taking care of our somewhat anxious, excitable pup and for the excellent communication. Looking forward to more stays!!”
“Kim is wonderful and patient. I have never taken my dogs to day care before and they were nervous and shy. Kim was wonderful with them and sent photos throughout the day. I was so happy with her services that I rebooked another doggy day care day and will be boarding with her. She made the experience very positive for myself and my dogs.”
“Thanks for the great pics. Penny looks so content. When I dropped her off this morning, Penny went right up to Richard and didn’t try to pull away to come with me as she has done in the past. She must really like Marina and Richard and I am so happy to have found someone I can trust when I need a sitter in the future. Thanks again!”
“Anping was great with our dog, Mowgli. He was also very accommodating when we got with our intended pick up time. I will definitely use his service in the future with Mowgli.”

“Jessica took the best care of my KBT senior, Schmokie ? She was always so accommodating with my chaotic work schedule and gave me the peace of mind that I knew my fur baby was in a safe & well-cared for environment. I am so happy with her care and consider it a privilege to have her in my known network of caregivers ? Thank you ??”
“Vanessa is awesome. She was so loving with Riley and sent pictures and updates throughout. As soon as I met her I could tell that she would take great care... extremely warm and kind. I felt totally comfortable with her as Riley's sitter!”
“Our young husky mix loved racing other dogs in Adrienne's fenced pasture. And Adrienne was very helpful when I could not find our reservation on Rover We enjoyed the 10 photos, and could see that Thea's need for active canine companions l was well met.”
“Jacklyn was great! Sent lots of (very cute!) pictures, walked McCoy, and made sure he got along with her own dog. McCoy was always happy to see her (and her dog) when we dropped him off. Jacklyn was also very responsive to us (e.g. when we had to modify our arrival/pick up time) which made our lives very easy.”
“Stanley is super responsive, super welcoming, and a truly dog lover! He and his wife Victoria took care of our doggies as their family. Charlie, their super cute dachshund welcomed them as well! We humans and dogs became get along so quick. They showed their place and explained how they will spend before confirming the appointment. That was very nice as well. Though, I asked him this appointment the last-minute, Stanley accepted it willingly and I could enjoy the day without any concerns. My Dogs enjoyed the time with them so much. They came home with "good tired". That is most important. My dogs have upcoming boarding appointments with him already. Can't wait for it! I highly recommend Stanley. *Receiving photos and videos didn't work well through chat window on rover.com so he sent those to me direct phone number. Thank you so much, again!”
About: Looking for someone who can give your fur baby all the attention they deserve? That’s me! I’m a full time pet sitter, so your furry family member is my top priority. From morning cuddles to playtime and walks, I make sure each day is full of love and care. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I raised two Labradors from puppies all the way to 17 and 18 years old, and I’ve also cared for many small dogs over the years. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what helps them feel comfortable. After my own dogs passed, I realized how much I still wanted dogs to be part of my life. Caring for other people’s dogs has been a meaningful way for me to share that love again. ❤️ ⭐️As part of my commitment to supporting the Mirrormont community, 5% of all earnings from Mirrormont clients are donated to the community park in support of the Mirrormont Community Association (MCA). I’m available most days and have a flexible schedule as a full time pet sitter. Please feel free to reach out to check specific dates or times. 🐾 About My Daycare 🐾 Safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I focus on creating a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel relaxed and well cared for. To help maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all dogs in my care, I kindly ask that all pups be fully house trained. Thank you so much for your understanding. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and at ease during their time with me, whether they are here for daycare, boarding, or in-home care. ⸻ ⭐️ Daycare Policy⭐️ Daycare typically runs from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with up to 10 hours of care — but I’m happy to adjust the schedule to fit your needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pup. If you need a little extra time, extended care is available at $15 per additional hour. Please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. 🐈Since cats are often more comfortable in their own space, I generally do not offer daycare for cats. I’m always happy to provide in-home drop-in care, where your cat can remain relaxed in a familiar environment. ⸻ 🏡 Boarding Policy 🏡 When your pup stays overnight with me, they’ll be treated like family and enjoy a cozy, home-style environment. You can expect me to spend at least 20 hours a day with your pup — this includes overnight care, plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, and a calm, comforting presence at night. That said, I may step out briefly for personal errands like grocery shopping, meals, or other short outings, but your pup will never be left alone for extended periods. I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when I’m away. ⸻ 🚪 Pet Sitting Policy 🚪 When staying in your home, I promise to respect both your pets routine and your space with the utmost care. I will spend at least 20 hours a day in your home, always planning my schedule around your pup’s walks, meals, and comfort. Most importantly, I will stay overnight to keep your pups company they’ll never have to sleep alone. Their routine is my top priority, and I aim to make them feel calm, loved, and secure while you’re away. Before I leave, I will return your home to the way it was clean, tidy, and as if I was never there. ⸻ 💛 What You Can Expect I treat every fur baby like family and always follow their routine. Your pup will enjoy: • A safe, loving, and stress-free environment • Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles • Regular updates with photos and videos • Careful tracking of water intake and potty breaks to help monitor their health. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to welcoming your pup into my home and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way 🐶💕
“Judy took Remy on an adventure around her neighborhood and sent lots of pics and updates throughout the day. Pup came home all tuckered out, a sign of a good day. :) Easy and prompt communication, dropoff and pickup went smoothly- definitely recommend Judy to hang with your furry friend.”
About: Dog care Experience 🐾 Caring for dogs has always been a meaningful part of my life. I grew up with a family dog and have spent years looking after pups of all sizes, personalities, and needs. As a dedicated dog lover, I treat every furry guest like one of my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I do have 3 fur babies of my own. So with each new client we introduce 1 dog at a time and when I feel comfortable they will be all together under supervision of course. My home is truly a dog-loving environment. My fiancé is a mobile dog groomer and together we share a passion for providing top-quality care. Playtime and activity are an essential part of every dog’s stay. Whether it’s zoomies in the yard, interactive play, or fun, energizing walks, I make sure each pup stays happy, stimulated, and engaged. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications such as eye drops. I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and attentiveness, especially for older pets who need a little extra comfort. With me, your dog will be in safe, loving hands—because they’re not just pets, they’re family ❤️ I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, which means I’m home full-time and able to provide constant care, attention, and supervision for your pup during daycare or boarding. I do share my home with my 3 sweet fur babies. They’re friendly but can take a little time to warm up to new people and dogs. Once you drop off your pup I will allow them to sniff and explore throughout the whole entire house, front yard and backyard/garden. Then when they seem to get settled I start introduction with 1 dog at a time for about 10-15 minutes then repeat with all the dogs I have. Next step is bring 2 pups out at a time to play together but mostly its just alot of Sniffing lol Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment is very important to me, and I take the time to ensure every dog feels secure and welcomed. Your pup will be treated like part of Our Family while they’re here 🐶❤️ Home & Care Details 🐾 I have a nice, fully fenced yard where your pup can safely play, explore, and burn off energy. My three fur babies are always around to help keep your dog active, social, and engaged throughout the day. Daily activity is a priority here—we’ll enjoy plenty of playtime in the yard along with one or two walks, depending on your dog’s needs and energy level. To help keep your pup comfortable and on their normal routine, I kindly ask that you: Pre-portion your dog’s food for their stay Include their usual feeding schedule Provide enough food for the entire visit Give clear, detailed instructions for any medications, if needed This helps me provide consistent, attentive care and ensures your dog feels right at home 🐶❤️ Also at drop off time I ask that you call or send me a message letting me know when you are 20 minutes away and when you arrive. I will meet you and your fur baby on the front porch and I will take over care from there ♡♡♡

“Courtney is the best! We are so grateful to have found her. Our dogs love her and the kids. There’s a noticeable difference in the pups when we come home when they’ve gotten their Courtney time compared to other Rover experiences we’ve had”
About: I come from a professional dog training background, and I bring that to every visit. Much of my work has been with dogs who require more understanding than the average person has: reactive dogs, anxious dogs, dogs who are typically hard to find care for. Whether you've been turned down before or just want the best care for your pack, please reach out. Helping dogs is genuinely how I enjoy spending my days the most. On a normal drop-in or walk I: * Add mental stimulation through short training sessions and games * Reinforce appropriate boundaries so good behavior holds while you're gone * Build focus and confidence with nosework and scent games * Continue any training you're already working on, using your cues and your approach Just as important, I treat my visits like the job they are: * I show up on time, every time. * I follow instructions exactly as written. Your routine stays your routine. * I ask the questions that prevent problems later: gate and door latches, leash triggers, medication timing, what you want me to do if anything were to go wrong. * You'll get a clear update with pictures from every visit, so you know exactly how it went. I'm comfortable with medical needs and special feeding requirements. I have a lot of experience with Huskies, German Shepherds, Malamutes, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls and Labs; I'm happy to help with any breed or mix. If your situation doesn't fit the usual mold, get in touch. I'm flexible, solution oriented and usually reply within minutes. Drop-in visits, dog walks, and hikes. Available full time, including same-day and last-minute bookings when my calendar allows. Always on time, follow instructions precisely, and treat your pets like my own. Message me with any ask, my response time is usually just a few minutes. I'm well versed in meeting new dogs of all backgrounds and have quite a bit of experience working with animals where there is little room for error. Rest assured that I'm 100% committed to your pets.

About: I have walked and have had overnight stays with my neighbors dogs for 6 years now. From big dogs to small dogs and even cats! I prefer no aggressive breeds(pits, shepherds, no huskies etc) I am pretty free during the week now that my daughter has started school. I am a musician also so I am out of town sometimes for shows and gigs, but I do have free time too! If I am not here my parents are wonderful at caring for dogs and have a ton experience so they can also watch your dogs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have a big yard and there are great walking trails around my house. There is also a doggy park near by. I do have an indoor/outdoor cat, but he is chill and warms up easily. If I am not here my parents are wonderful at caring for dogs and have a ton experience so they can also watch your dogs. We help each other out! Only excepting smaller to medium sized dogs for new clients currently. I do not have a fenced yard and keep all dogs on a leash whenever I am outside. They are able to run free in my home though!
About: I have been a dog sitter awhile and have gained a lot of experience. I have done overnight stays, check ins, dog walks, and more. I have a puppy of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and more have trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, and play with them. Worked with many different dogs and various ages. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to come check in on the pups and play with them. My work schedule does change depending on the week but I am available every day of the week. I am free mornings and nights and would have time mid day to check in on the dogs. I have a fenced yard for my dog and I walk him twice a day so he can get his energy out. I would walk your dogs how ever much is needed. Additionally, I would make sure to check in on them multiple times outside of my other jobs to ensure that they are good and can be let out. I am comfortable making sure any necessary medication is given on time and that they are also fed at there normal times. I know how much pets need to play and I would love to play fetch and more with your pets!!

I’m always happy to provide in-home drop-in care, where your cat can remain relaxed in a familiar environment. ⸻ 🏡 Boarding Policy 🏡 When your pup stays overnight with me, they’ll be treated like family and enjoy a cozy, home-style environment. You can expect me to spend at least 20 hours a day with your pup — this includes overnight care, plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, and a calm, comforting presence at night. That said, I may step out briefly for personal errands like grocery shopping, meals, or other short outings, but your pup will never be left alone for extended periods. I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when I’m away. ⸻ 🚪 Pet Sitting Policy 🚪 When staying in your home, I promise to respect both your pets routine and your space with the utmost care. I will spend at least 20 hours a day in your home, always planning my schedule around your pup’s walks, meals, and comfort. Most importantly, I will stay overnight to keep your pups company they’ll never have to sleep alone. Their routine is my top priority, and I aim to make them feel calm, loved, and secure while you’re away. Before I leave, I will return your home to the way it was clean, tidy, and as if I was never there. ⸻ 💛 What You Can Expect I treat every fur baby like family and always follow their routine. Your pup will enjoy: • A safe, loving, and stress-free environment • Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles • Regular updates with photos and videos • Careful tracking of water intake and potty breaks to help monitor their health. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to welcoming your pup into my home and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way 🐶💕
About: Puppy care, elderly dog care, and working on my Red Cross pet first aid certification. I have cared for teacup small, pony-sized, large dogs, and white faced elderly dogs that need special attention. I love every dog I met and can’t wait to meet yours! I am doing school online. I can do early mornings, late nights, or if you need me to watch your pup at home. My days are open to whenever I need to drop by When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and companionship, and keeping their environment clean and safe. I follow all care instructions closely to ensure your pets are getting exactly what they need. I also give regular updates (and adorable pictures) to ensure peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and have always been comfortable caring for and being around them. I also cared for my own dog for over a year after getting her when she was around 6 months old. She had a difficult past and had already had puppies at a very young age, so she needed extra patience, trust, and consistency. I worked with her and taught her basic commands, and she became very responsive to me. I’m currently available for pet care any day and at flexible times throughout the week. Starting August 31, I’ll be attending school Monday through Friday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I’ll still have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs. My school schedule is consistent each day, so I’m able to plan my availability reliably around it. I treat every pet in my care like they are my own. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on their normal schedule, have fresh water, get their walks and exercise, and have plenty of playtime and attention. I also enjoy playing with their favorite toys and getting to know their personality and routine. I understand that some pets may take a little time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and let them get comfortable with me at their own pace.

“My wife, Dongmei, and I recently boarded our Golden Retriever, Sagan, with Janessa for an overnight stay. Sagan just turned one year old, and this was the first time we had ever left him with someone other than family, so we were naturally a little nervous. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. Janessa took great care of Sagan and made him feel right at home. It was clear he had a fantastic time playing with Janessa's dogs and the other dogs she was boarding. When we picked him up the next morning, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable in her care. The biggest sign of how much fun he had came afterward. As soon as he got in the car, he completely crashed from all the excitement and activity. Once we got home, he slept for several hours and seemed incredibly content. Any Golden Retriever owner knows that's usually the sign of a very good day. Janessa was friendly, professional, and gave us confidence that Sagan was in great hands. In fact, we felt so good about the experience that we've already booked her to care for Sagan for two weeks while we travel to China later this summer. We're grateful to have found Janessa and her family and look forward to having Sagan stay with them again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dog-loving sitter.”

“Jessi and her family are so wonderful! This is the second time Jessi’s watched our dog and we can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She goes above and beyond. We hope we’re lucky enough to have her babysit again.”
“This is Hammer’s 3rd time staying with him, and once again we’re so happy and satisfied with the care he received. Hammer always comes back happy, clean, and smelling so good! even his bowls were washed and clean when we picked him up. You can really tell he’s well taken care of and loved. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dogsitter!”
“Stefany and her family were so kind and nice to our dog. Walked her multiple times daily, sent multiple pictures and described many aspects of the day with my dog. She went above and beyond my expectations. I feel like my dog didn't want to come home 🐶😁”
“Johnnie was great! Daisy came home a very tired pup. He took her for runs and she got to play with the other dogs he watches during the day. He leaves the backdoor leading to his fully fenced yard open at all times for the dogs. When I dropped her off, Daisy immediately bolted to go play in the yard. Johnnie made Daisy feel very much at home with his doggy friendly furniture policy. He was flexible in our pick up/drop off times and even returned Daisy bathed! I cannot recommend Johnnie enough.”
“Ashley is wonderful! My pup had a great time, with lots of cuddles and play time! Ashley gave daily report card updates, with great photos! She was very communicative and responsive. I can tell my pup was well-cared for! Highly recommend Ashley!”
“Jassem and Joshua are the best! They were so loving and affectionate and attentive with Damon. They gave me peace of mind. I am usually weary about who can watch Damon but they were just the best. Damon had a great time and a wonderful routine with cuddling and going out to the backyard. I loved how they sent us photos every day and I could see how happy and content Damon was. Damon has a bad leg that needs monitoring and takes medication and probiotics. They did such a great job with that!! And they were so attentive they noticed any little changes in Damon’s condition and asked us how to proceed. It was the best experience and my husband Damon and I are very happy. THANK YOU THANK YOU!”
“Lisa was amazing. It was my first time leaving Henry (16-month-old mini bernedoodle) with someone I didn't know well. She took him on multiple daily adventures outside, sent tons of photos, communication was excellent, and he was a very happy and tired pup when I got back. I highly recommend Lisa and will be using her again in the future!”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“Liz did a wonderful job with our dog Chunk! It was our first time leaving him with her and she made sure to send us frequent pictures and updates. Absolutely recommend if your pet loves all the attention because Liz will give it to them!”
