“Jerrie was a lifesaver, and the best sitter for my puppy. Her home is the perfect place for a dog with enough outdoor space to run around. Don't leave your dog at a kennel, call Jerrie.”
“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”
“My little dog Macie had such a great time at keeps house! Keep was very good about sending me updates constantly and cute pictures of Macie. She groomed Macie and took her for several walks. I really appreciate that keep allowed Macie to come an extra day early (last minute) with no problem. On top of that I forgot to bring Macie food due to being so busy and she shared what she had no problem. I would definitely book with keep again. Thank you ?”
“This is our 3rd time leaving Zoey with Jennifer and I truly could not say enough positive things. Zoey always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for! Jennifer's entire family is so sweet to our girl and we are happy to have found someone trustworthy and reliable.”
“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”
“Kristin is amazing! Left our 2 Frenchies with her for 5 days and they had a great time. Kristin was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times, great communicator, and sent us daily photos and updates. I’m so happy we found someone in completely comfortable to leave our babies with. 🥰”
“She deserves all the stars. Desiree and her husband welcomed me and my pup into their home. Took us out in the back yard, let me make sure Zeus was good to go. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the boarding. Waked Zeus. I could tell she treated him like one of her own. I highly reccomed Desiree!”
“We boarded our dog Rizzo with Pamela for the holidays and she was so well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for more. Pamela had excellent communication and provided pictures throughout her stay. We will be booking in the future!!”
“AMAZING CARE!! I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by this beautiful couple, my puppy Zara was taken care of! I was nervous as this is the first time I’ve done doggy care but I’m extremely happy with overall care and experience with James!”
“Our dog Odin loved his stay at Tonya's. He was definitely from all the fun with the other dogs. We don't trust many people with our pups. Tonyas great communication helped put us at ease being away from our boy. We will definitely reached back out for cars.”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”
“John was great with our shy pup, Bear. The photos and updates were wonderful. He was very easy to communicate with, friendly, and immediately put me at ease knowing he’s a long-time dog person. Our pup was exhausted when we got home so he got plenty of walks and all the fetch he could have wanted. I will gladly reach out to John again in the future!”
“Darby was amazing with our 3 frenchies. She sent updates each day. We love that they got loved on like they do at home ❤️❤️ We will definitely be using Darby again!!”

“Sarah is a phenomenal sitter! She followed instructions extremely well, and asked questions for clarity. She took such good care of our girls, especially our senior cat, who is end of life. We will be booking get again. Thank you Sarah!! Everyone was so relaxed and calm when we got home, unlike previous Rover sitters.”
“Yvonne took care of my beloved cat with such love and compassion. She sent photos and answered all my questions on a daily basis. I will definitely be asking her to care for Muffin in the future!”
“Kayley is very punctual and kind, she left great notes and pictures for me to keep updated on my animals while I was away. She was also very communicative throughout the whole process. Thank you so much Kayley!!!”
“Ari was the best! Ari looked after our two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. We weren’t sure how the cats were going to react to a pet sitter, and Ari did a great job making sure all their needs were met and more.”
“Jerrie is absolutely amazing and our cats did not hide from her. We were worried they would hide and stop eating but they did great. Jerrie always updated us and sent pictures. We will be working with Jerrie again. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Zash is amazing! We just finished an 8 day trip and we have an 18 year old medically high-needs cat and a kitten. We were incredibly anxious leaving them because their care is complex and our 18 years old’s health is so fragile. Zash went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and we were actually able to relax and enjoy the trip. She was prompt, thorough, caring, and 100% reliable. We have hesitated to travel in the past but now with Zash we are ready for our next trip! You will not regret leaving your babies in her care. Thank you, Zash!”
“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”
“Kaci is amazing she followed our suggestions and directions perfectly, and even our super skittish spicy cat seemed to stay near her and let her pet her! Loved seeing the card afterwards with the photos, our kitties looked so relaxed around her. Really put us at ease while we were away!”
“Lizzy dropped in to take care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was wonderful! She took care of everything and sent lots of updates on how things were going. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were being cared for. I'd 100% recommend her!!”
“Samantha was great. Our cats were well cared for and looked after. She gave each cat affection and played with them. Samantha followed the directions provided for one of our pets that is on medication and always provided us with updates. Would recommend her to anyone needing cat care.”
“My husband and I had planned and booked a 2 week bucket list trip to Peru and were set to leave in 7 weeks. We had arranged our normal pet sitter that we’ve used for years to come and take care of our (almost) 15 year old cat, Mr. Christmas. It was around that time that Mr. Christmas stopped eating. Mr. Christmas had no real health conditions, no meds…and he was declining fast. After extensive testing, imaging, and seeing a specialist, he was diagnosed with either IBD or cancer and was going to need a lot of follow up. He was on multiple oral medications and he still wasn’t eating great. I couldn’t leave him in the house with someone who can only come see him once a day. He needed more support and our normal pet sitter couldn’t provide that for him. I was fully prepared to cancel the trip, but thought I’d go on Rover to see if anyone could match what we were looking for and if anyone would be willing to do what we were asking. We needed three, hour-long visits daily, forcing food at him, weighing him, and administering multiple daily medications. I found Melanie explaining what I was looking for, and I was really impressed that she was up early at 4:30am to message me. Melanie communicated with me each week leading up to our trip. We initially didn’t have a diagnosis and I needed vet clearance to leave him. Melanie asked many questions, and when we finally were told that he was stable enough to leave, she came over to our house with a list of questions to go over with us. He’s got a bit…a lot…of an attitude. She made sure that she didn’t approach him and waited for him to come to her. She was so thoughtful about every detail of their interaction in front of us. My husband and I both felt that even though she is a stranger to us, there was something calming about her and she was very professional. We knew Mr. Christmas would be okay, but I wasn’t expecting him to thrive the way that he did. Melanie never missed a visit. She never asked for anything from me. She communicated with me daily throughout the two weeks. She braved picking him up to put him on the scale multiple times. Mr. Christmas gained weight with Melanie. He wasn’t gaining weight with me at home, but she is just that good. Pictures of Mr. Christmas started with him sleeping alone, and then he got closer and closer to her on the couch. He even started inviting her to watch him in the litter box (I’m mortified), but he only does this with “his people”. Our dog came to visit at home a few days to see Mr. Christmas (they are besties), and Melanie had no problem cuddling our dog while visiting Mr. Christmas. To describe Melanie in one or two words, I would say she is easygoing and pays great attention to detail. She makes everything seem easy and carefree, and my anxiety really appreciated that on this trip. I got home from 15 days away from him, and he is this thick ball of fluffy happiness. He was WELL taken care of. We could have never gone on this trip without Melanie. She is a true gem and I will be referring anyone and everyone I know to her. Love, Ben, Jen, Mr. Christmas, and “his dog” Ruby.”
“Helena did an excellent job caring for our two cats. I can tell she is an animal lover. She followed our instructions exactly and gave great updates and pictures for each visit. Thank you so much!!”
“Ashley took such great care of my three cats! She was very on time for our scheduled drop ins, extremely communicative, and genuinely cared for my cats’ well being. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Maggie checked all boxes to make you feel comfortable leaving your fur and feather babies! She responded promptly and took great care in leaving thoughtful and detailed “report cards” for checkins. Upon returning the kittens and chickens were so happy and at ease. The house was also very clean. Highly recommend Maggie :)”
“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
About: Cats have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've helped rescue nine cats and raised seven from kittens to adulthood, giving me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, socialization, and understanding feline behavior. I also have experience administering various types of medications and am comfortable carefully following treatment instructions to ensure pets receive the care they need. Through years of caring for cats with different personalities, ages, and needs, I've learned how to build trust, provide a calm and safe environment, and adapt my care to each cat individually. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats and am committed to making them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Brougan stayed overnight to watch my 1 adult cat and two 5 month old kittens. He paid attention to the feeding schedule and left the home as he found it. We are using him again!”

I accept only small dogs under 25 lbs with friendly, social temperaments to ensure safe, relaxed interactions.

“Jennifer is outstanding with my AJ! He has so much fun with all the other Holdens that get to also attend her great care. She and her family are a permanent fixture with us from now on 😊”

“Darby has been very supportive and flexible with her schedule and availability to help out as we navigate a challenging time in our life. Our dog loves going to her house, and we get great photos of our dog!”
“Alison was so great for doggy daycare! Sent so many pictures, asked all the right questions, and even worked on certain training commands with Gus. Highly recommend her services, she’s very trustworthy and professional!”
“Kristin and her little daughter took such great care of Teddy ☺️He clearly felt comfortable and had a lovely time. Communication was easy and friendly — we’d definitely trust them again!”
“Deidre was amazing with our two whippets, Oliver and Finley! She has a spacious, fully fenced backyard where the boys had a blast running and playing. Her two pups were super friendly and got along great with ours. Deidre was incredibly easy to communicate with—flexible, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. We’d absolutely book with her again!”

I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can give them attention, walks, and cuddles whenever they need. I provide a safe and calm environment for pets. My home has a fully fenced yard, and there are no children or other pets, so your furry friend can play and relax freely and safely.
“We were very happy with our dogs care with Pamela. Our dog got the attention and activity with other dogs that he needed while we were gone for a day. And he was tired and happy when we picked him up 😀 It was nice to receive pictures thruout the day too! Will definately use Pamela's services again for our pup!”
“This was my first time using the Rover App and honestly I was a little nervous about leaving my puppy in the hands of a stranger. Sonia made me feel so comfortable by sending me pictures and updates of my little guy throughout the day, and was super easy to keep in touch with. Her and her husband were awesome, and I ended up leaving my pup with them a second day while I was at work. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have a genuine love for being near animals and taking care of them because they brighten my day. I am currently in college I want to try to make pet sitting a part time job so I can save up for my future. The apartment comples I live in has a dog park where a lot of dogs go and have fun, if there is any type of schedule by the owner/owners I would follow it. I usually try to relax on my free time, reading books and enjoying art, my hobbies give me time to take care of and play with the animals that I care for. The doors are locked unless I or someone with a key unlocks them, i make sure that the dogs have a leash on before I open the door and that there are no cats near the door to run out.

“Ari was great! On short notice he made time for a meet and greet with a slightly fearful doggo, then later breezed through Cozmo's skittish greeting at walk time, to complete a great little trip around the neighborhood. He sent updates each day with pictures of them on their travels, which made me feel better about the whole thing. Really nice guy, flexible and accommodating. Highly recommend. :)”
About: I have over three years of experience working at Mud Bay (local to the PNW). I am thoroughly knowledgeable in holistic wellness solutions and helping to educate pet owners on nutrition and lifestyle choices for their cat and/or dog. Pets have always been a part of my life and I can't imagine it any other way. I’ve taken care of animals since I was eight years old, happily offering my services as a pet-sitter to friends and neighbors. Most recently, I have worked with private clients and have several long standing relationships. Proud owner of two therapy dogs in training and one cozy kitty! Currently, I am a massage therapy student in Tumwater, WA and my availability revolves around my school schedule. I have classes from 9am- 2pm, Monday- Thursday. Fridays are my most flexible day. I'm excited to stay active and more than happy to exercise with your pets! I am extremely respectful of other people’s spaces, only utilizing what is necessary to care for your pet! I’m a trustworthy, tidy, and reliable individual who focuses on the task at hand and stays engaged.
“Erika and Maxwell are just the best! They were so sweet to our two dogs during the meet and greet, so we knew it was going to be a great fit. Our dogs can be a lot to walk because they are big and prey driven, but Maxwell and Erika were up to the challenge. We came back home to two very tired and happy girls. So happy we found them and hope we can book more walks and sits with them in the future!”
“Helena made time to do a meet & greet with my dog prior to booking. She responded quickly & professionally to every message, and she kindly answered all of my questions/concerns. She gave me updates & pictures after every walk which was awesome! I knew my dog was in great hands, I'd 10/10 recommended her to anyone & I will definitely be booking her in the future!! Thank you Helena! 😊”
About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so for daycare your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. Due to my variable work schedule, I cannot accommodate recurring appointments. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.
About: I started dog sitting when I was 14 years old for friends and family. I have always had at least two dogs in my life. Nothing makes me happier than a happy pet. I am an experienced pet sitter with plenty of experience walking dogs as well. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend. I have full flexibility as this is my only job. My availability should be completely open to whatever helps you and your fur baby’s needs. I want every pet to be as happy as possible. I will take care of/love your dogs as they are my own. Making sure they are able to exert their energy while also getting the proper love is always my top priority. Will be sure to update you as much as possible with some pictures as well.
About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I offer calm, full-time attention in a quiet home with a large yard and a peaceful resident dog. I’m confident administering medications, as I regularly care for my own pets' health needs. I understand the unique needs of both senior pets and spirited cats, and I’m happy to provide gentle walks, playtime, and lots of affection. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I am currently home all day and available for walks and love. For walks and home visits Tuesday - Friday I am available on a twice daily basis. Sat, Sun, and Monday I am available any time. While I don't offer pet care in my home at this time, I may in the future. We live in a bright spacious apartment near Briggs YMCA
About: Iv always grown up around animals especially dogs. From a family setting to being just me and my dog in college. I’m a current service member so I have access on JBLM as well. I only have my one pup and getting her a fun friend for a few days is fun for us both. I’m currently off work all summer so I’m usually taking my dog on walks 2+ times a day and just getting out to enjoy the PNW sun. Super careful at first and then loosen up when I learn how they want to play and interact. Some dogs want go play 24/7 and some just like to be a potato. Both are great to me
“Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.”
About: I go by Kat!! ✨ I have been a dog groomer for about three years now and love what I do! I also have professional and voluntary experience in taking care of both cats and dog, and have worked at multiple different dog boarding and daycare facilities for years before becoming a stylist, along with previous bookings on Rover! I have received training on dog nutrition, administering medications, and various training methods through this experience. I have my own large dog and have experience handling dogs of all sizes- from the tiniest 5 lbs yorkies to massive, 150 lbs newfoundlands. And of course all different kinds of energy levels throughout my time of working with dogs. I am a pet groomer, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that I’m willing to work around. The only thing I will not be flexible on is staying for full time housesitting due to having my own animals to care for. I REQUIRE meet and greets for all new clients! Housesitting: I prefer to have detailed written instructions along with vocal for feeding, walks, medications, etc. Any kind and number of pets is ok as long as they’re on the listing! [[BOARDING UNAVAILABLE]] Boarding: I have a backyard, though it’s not fenced off, and any dogs boarding MUST get along with both dogs and cats. I can only accept one dog for boarding at a time, but is negotiable for multi-pet households depending on the circumstances.
“Taylor has done an awesome job caring for our Dalmatian Rocky! Rocky is very stubborn and strong so it is not easy to find people who have the strength and patience to walk him. Taylor has been able to take him on his mid-day walks with ease! And he always comes back tired and happy!”
“Kacie was a true treasure, she was always been on time, totally reliable. Being a medical traveler with random shifts it isn’t easy to find someone that is willing to do different hours and days. The dogs love her and I will continue using her services as long as I am in this area.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly believe that they all deserve to be treated like family. I currently don’t have any pets and I would love to help families out. I am currently available seven days a week and have a very flexible schedule. Whether you need drop-in visits, dog walking, daycare, or pet care during the day, I am happy to help. I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run around and play. I’m very easy to work with as far as following owners instructions. Pets are also allowed in my home.
About: I grew up loving and caring for animals. I had dogs, cats, and even parrots growing up. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR and have experience pet sitting for various friends and family. I used to volunteer with the Humane Society where I walked dogs and helped work play groups which helped the dogs gain social skills and helped them to get adopted. I currently volunteer with a statewide animal rescue organization doing technical animal rescues which include rescuing dogs, cats, birds, horses, and, on occasion, certain exotic animals. Our most common rescues include dogs that fall down cliffs and horses that are cast in their stalls and can't get up or are otherwise stuck and require assistance getting back up. I love getting to work with all sorts of animals and have learned a lot from the other volunteers which include EMTs, Firefighters, and Veterinarians. I work remotely from home so my schedule is very flexible and I'll have plenty of time to look after your beloved pets! I can easily stop by and check on them at your home as often as you'd like. I also love being outside so going on multiple walks a day would be a joy for me. I have years of experience with dogs and I also had cats growing up too. I do not currently have any pets living with me so your pet with have my undivided love and attention. I am able to maintain any schedules you keep for your pets such as when to feed them and any medications they might need to take. I'm certified in Pet First Aid/CPR and work with animals regularly due to my work in animal rescue so you can rest assured that your furbabies will be in good hands!

“Jerrie was a lifesaver, and the best sitter for my puppy. Her home is the perfect place for a dog with enough outdoor space to run around. Don't leave your dog at a kennel, call Jerrie.”
“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”
“This is our 3rd time leaving Zoey with Jennifer and I truly could not say enough positive things. Zoey always comes home happy, tired and clearly well cared for! Jennifer's entire family is so sweet to our girl and we are happy to have found someone trustworthy and reliable.”
“AMAZING CARE!! I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by this beautiful couple, my puppy Zara was taken care of! I was nervous as this is the first time I’ve done doggy care but I’m extremely happy with overall care and experience with James!”
“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”
“John was great with our shy pup, Bear. The photos and updates were wonderful. He was very easy to communicate with, friendly, and immediately put me at ease knowing he’s a long-time dog person. Our pup was exhausted when we got home so he got plenty of walks and all the fetch he could have wanted. I will gladly reach out to John again in the future!”
“Darby was amazing with our 3 frenchies. She sent updates each day. We love that they got loved on like they do at home ❤️❤️ We will definitely be using Darby again!!”
“Lauren & Dalton and their dogs Nala and Maverick where perfect for our dog Amy while we were out of town. Amy could not have been in better hands and Nala and Maverick were her perfect playmates.”
“Tyler and Olivia were amazing hosts for Cali! They kept me updated daily with pictures and texts, which I really appreciated. Cali loves sleeping on couches and they had plenty of space to relax, plus they made sure she got her walks in for exercise. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Yvonne was absolutely amazing with our high-energy lab pup, Bailey. She had so much patience and understanding, and many skills to help make for a positive and comforting stay for Bailey. I highly recommend for not only boarding but any training needs. Will be using Yvonne for all of our future boarding and training needs!”
“Marley was well taken care of and well behaved when I picked him up (sitting waiting until Michael let him go, which is unusual for him.). So I was impressed and grateful to Michael that he cared for my little love while I was away! Highly recommend!”
“Jeremy was awesome!! He sent pics and videos everyday, which I loved to see how much fun they were having during their week stay! I can tell my dogs had a blast and felt comfortable in his care and had lots of fun with the other dogs as well. I definitely recommend choosing Jeremy as your pet sitter!”
“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Colin is great! He sends pics and updates, and my pup is excited and happy when I drop her off. It’s so satisfying to have a sitter that I know my dog likes and is comfortable around. Will 100% use Colin again.”
“Our dog, Theo, had such a great weekend with Jamie! He was comfortable, happy, and relaxed in her home. Jamie took Theo and her dog to a nearby park to run around, and it was clear from photos that he had so much fun. We highly recommend Jamie's dog boarding services and are sure that Theo will be back for a visit next time we're out of town!”
