“Cheryl and Josh were wonderful sitters for my dog Molly. They treated her as if she was their own dog. Cheryl was respectful of all the requests that I had made for Molly's stay. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Cheryl shared. It was a great comfort for me knowing that I did not have to worry about Molly while I was away on vacation. We will be booking with Cheryl and Josh again!!”
“Mary was once again so wonderful to work with. She was so flexible with our travel schedule! The dogs did great! I'm sad that we have moved and won't be close to Mary anymore, but I would highly recommend her services. Especially for smaller senior dogs!”
“My dog had a wonderful time at this house and I received many pictures of her having fun. The family was also accommodating to our needs when we had some trouble getting back at the time we predicted.”
“Erin and family are the best. Wesley had a great time with them and got a new buddy Willow out of the deal. For sure will use Erin again. She had great communication and updated us everyday of Wes’s day.”
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as a sitter! Easy communication, easy to book, I appreciated the couple check ins during my dog’s stay! My dog came back looking well taken care of, happy, and tired from her exercise! Will definitely be using Amanda again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with April. She is very friendly, her home is beautiful and clean, she has a couple of cute kiddos, and she has friendly dogs of her own which provided entertainment for our Paisley. We weren't disappointed - we received photo updates of Paisley at her stay. Upon pickup, Paisley was healthy and happy! We will definitely have April care for Paisley again. Thank you!”
“Christiana and her family took excellent care of Nola while we were away. She sent daily pics & updates which made us feel at ease that Nola was being well taken care of and enjoying her stay. We will definitely have Nola stay again! ❤️”

“We felt very comfortable leaving our furry family member with Marie and her family! Marie did a great job sending pics and providing daily updates. Grace got lots of walks, treats and love! We’ll definitely be requesting Marie again.”
“Rebecca and her family took excellent care of our dog Evie while we were out of town. She was wonderful at communicating—sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. We could tell Evie was happy, loved, and getting plenty of playtime and attention. Communication was spot-on from booking through drop-off, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We’re already planning to book with Rebecca again next time we travel—she’s our new go-to sitter! Highly recommend Rebecca and her family to anyone needing a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”

“Cari and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Russell. He got lots of walks, plenty of play time, and tons of snuggles. He especially liked playing with the girls. Will definitely use her again.”

“Gianina was a great host to Kona! She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend! She had a great yard for him to explore, and she took him on nice walks. We will definitely book with her again if we travel!”

“This was my first time using any at home pet sitting service. I have one cat. Courtney did an awesome job watching my Sophie! Her drop in times were right on, and she and Sophie got along great! I would definitely recommend Courtney. She's awesome!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve walked, fed, bathed, helped train, and overall cared for animals. I have had experience with kittens/puppies and senior animals! I have watched family and friends dogs! I work part-time and my schedule is often different, but I am always free after 7 pm weekdays and 6 pm weekends. I am open to other times as well as long as I don’t work! I do not offer animals in my home due to having my own cats. Only dog and cat sitting at the clients house! Thank you
“Regan was great with my kitties! She was very attentive to the directions I provided. She spent time with them during her stop in visits and made sure they got treats and catio time as well as sent pictures! This was my first time using Rover and I well definitely not hesitate to use it again!”
About: I have dreamed about walking dogs since I was a little girl and now I have found a way to do it and get paid! I have two Weiner dogs at my mom's house, a labordooddle at my dad's, and two cats of my own.I know and love all kinds of dogs and cats! I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!
“I am an anxious cat mom and leaving my babies even for a few days is always rough for me. Finding a trustworthy sitter is VERY important to me and from the moment I met Stephanie I knew she would take excellent care of my babies. She sent me many photos every day and I loved seeing them happy in her care. She treated them like her own and slept with them every night. Stephanie is thoughtful, communicative, responsible and you can tell she has a genuine love of animals. I will 100% book her again for any pet care service. I can’t recommend her enough to take care of your babies because she took exceptional care of mine!!!”
“Katie was amazing with our 2 cats! They came out to greet her each time she stopped by and she was extremely attentive, respectful, and responsive. Katie was there when she said she would be and provided top-notch feedback/updates. It was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family and we were so happy we went with her! Absolutely will be contacting Katie again for future needs!”
“They did a wonderful job caring for my baby! It was my first time leaving my cat away from home and without me for over a week, so I was definitely nervous. He’s very high-maintenance, needy, and particular about his routine, but they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They listened carefully to his needs, provided excellent care, and communicated with me throughout my trip. The frequent updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was happy and doing well. They were incredibly welcoming and treated him like one of their own. I truly can’t thank them enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care. Their home is perfectly set up for animals, including the ability to keep dogs and cats separated when needed, which made me feel even more confident leaving him in their care. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Meghan did a fabulous job taking care of my two cats! She was able to give my little female a daily med like a pro, and she spoiled both of them with attention and love!! Since I was out of town for about a week, it gave me such peace of mind to know both kitties were given such wonderful TLC!!??”
“We worked with Autumn for drop in visits for our 2 cats and she was fantastic! She went above and beyond, even took out the trash/recycling on garbage day and took in our packages from the porch. I highly recommend her!”
“Alyssa has been an absolute Godsend! Otis adored her and she understood exactly what we needed to feel reassured that our baby was a great hands while we were away. She will be our first choice when we need a sitter for Otis again. Highly recommended.”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience using Candance to recently board our cat while we were on vacation!! She treated Lola like her own and gave us frequent updates which included pictures too…gave us peace of mind for sure knowing she was in the best of hands. We will not hesitate to book with Candace for future needs!!”
About: With around five years of hands-on experience in dog care, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to give dogs the attention, patience, and love they deserve. For three years, I walked and sat for a dog every other day for elderly owners, which taught me how to connect with dogs of all temperaments and needs. In addition, I’ve raised my own Golden Doodle from 8 weeks old to 1.5 years. It wasn’t always easy, but through calmness, steady emotions, and consistent training, I’ve shaped her into the most loving, gentle, and sweet dog I know. I understand the importance of being gentle and patient, staying calm even in challenging situations, and creating a stress-free environment for dogs so they feel safe and comfortable. With me, your dog will get the best care possible, built on experience and a true passion for their well-being. As someone who manages an outdoor pool, my schedule is structured around peak hours, but I’ve found a perfect balance to incorporate pet care into my routine. I have flexibility during the early mornings, evenings, and off-peak hours, which allows me to give your dog the attention they deserve. Whether it’s taking them for walks, playing in the yard, or simply providing companionship, I make sure that pet care fits seamlessly into my day. My commitment to providing reliable and loving care never interferes with my responsibilities as a pool manager, as I’ve carefully arranged my schedule to meet both needs. Rest assured, your dog will receive the best of both worlds! When caring for your pet, whether in my home or yours, safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities. I always ensure a secure space, free from hazards, and follow all instructions regarding your dog’s routine, medications, and preferences to keep them comfortable and safe. I understand the trust you place in me, and I’m committed to building a strong relationship with your dog, treating them with the same love and care I would give my own. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and enjoyable environment, providing plenty of outdoor playtime and relaxation. My goal is to ensure your dog feels happy, secure, and loved, whether they’re in the comfort of their own home or mine. If they were to be at my home, they would get a very friendly play mate (my Goldendoodle 😊).
“Valerie watched our cats for the second time this past week. We enjoyed getting her messages and the pictures. We came back and everything was in order and our cats were very well taken care of. We will be using her again in the future. Thank you!!”
About: I am the go-to person to watch the pets of family and friends. I work from home so I can be very flexible with my schedule as well as yours. I have a large yard (a little over an acre) and a fence along the road. I own a 5 year old male German Shorthaired Pointer as well as two mixed breed dogs weighing about 15 pounds each. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch in my yard, going to the dog park, or going to one of the dog-friendly nature trails near my house. I work from home so frequent potty breaks. I have a large yard that has the road fenced off and I’ll get a game of fetch going or let the dogs run around to burn off energy. I work from home so I cater to your dog's needs, whether it is going outside frequently, getting the attention they are used to having at home, etc. I have over an acre for the dogs to run on with a fence running along the road to prevent dogs from going to it.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I dog and cat sit for my family members and take my neighbor dogs for walks very frequently. I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I have availability every day of the week and would love to spend my free time with animals. I have a house with a backyard with an extra bedroom to put any pet requirements such as a crate or toys. I am very trustworthy and loving of all animals.

“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”
About: I have over 10 years pet care experience, 7 of which I have been specifically focusing on dog training. Understanding the minds of dogs and how they think requires a degree of skill and patience, along with consistent application of training techniques. This knowledge of how dogs thinks, interact, and behave helps in every aspect of dog care in itself. It makes every individual pet special because dogs have their own unique personalities, and being able to tap into that and create a bond is different from dog to dog. This is one of the best parts of taking care of people’s pets! Any of your specific needs and accommodations will be met and/or exceeded when in my care, guaranteed! I am a journeyman lineman and I work 4 days a week. Aside from that I own a dog training business where I train dogs on weekends. My wife Teal is home every day for any assistance in care for your dogs and we are both committed to giving the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for your dogs! Trusting someone with these members of our family can be stressful and hard to do at times. I understand better than anyone that giving my pets up to someone can be daunting task. We need to trust our pets are given the same care they get at home and are loved like one of our own. In this household we have 2 cats and 2 dogs. There is nothing more important than treating your dog equally as good as one of our own. Between my wife and myself the pets we care for will receive our undivided attention and compassion. We incorporate tons of engagement and interactive play time. We are sure to see that these pets aren’t just alone and disregarded. My wife and myself strive to have an environment where animals can have a stress free and fun loving home to reside in till their owners make it back to them. Rest assured that I have been caring for dogs for many years, and training dogs for close to 7 now. You will not find a more loving and compassionate place for your dog than right here!
About: Dogs are a big part of our daily life. We have two of our own—a friendly Golden Retriever, Oakley, and a playful Bernedoodle, Teddy—so I’m very familiar with different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I have hands-on experience with: • Daily walks, playtime, and exercise • Feeding schedules and portion control • Crate routines and basic training consistency • Managing multiple dogs at once • Recognizing behavior changes and keeping dogs comfortable Because I work from home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. They’ll get consistent attention, outdoor time, and a structured but relaxed environment. We also have a fenced-in yard, which allows for safe play and movement throughout the day. Our home is set up to be dog-friendly, and I treat every dog like part of the family—while still respecting their routine so they feel secure. Flexible availability for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on scheduling. I work from home and can provide all your pets needs in our home. Calm, dependable, and attentive care Safe family environment with clear expectations Must be good with both children and other dogs Fenced yard for safe outdoor play Experience managing multiple dogs Regular communication and photo updates Focus on routine, safety, and comfort
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.

“My dogs had a blast here. My husky usually cries when he is put in the kennel but once I got home and put him in there he fell right asleep. My golden also knocked out in the car and now in the living room. She updated me and was very kind overall. Would definitely book again! Thank you for taking care of my 2 crazy puppies.”
“Cooper loved being with Ashlyn and was sad each day I had to take him home. She walked him each day and played with him. She sent me pictures and videos of his stay. I will be booking with her for future needs.”
“Gianina watched my 7 month old puppy for 4 consecutive days. She was awesome to work with and each day my puppy came home happy, healthy, and tired. I truly appreciate her caring for him so well and I would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
About: Hello! I'm Susu and I would love to care for your pet. I've been caring for animals since a very young age. My family and I would always bring in and care for fosters and strays, along with our own. Learning to train pups at such a young age has made it one of my biggest passions. I understand that every dog is different and it's all about learning who they are. I adapt and adjust to any dogs needs until they are happy and comfortable. Of course playtime is great but I will also inforce balance by having them do tricks and giving rewards. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouraging them to be their best furry selves. I will truly love your pet like my own. I do have a dog of my own named lexus. She is a rescue so she can be a little wary of strangers but is never shy around another furry friend! She has been socialized all of her life and loves to run and play. She understands social cues very well so if the other dog is uninterested in playing she will leave them alone. If Lexus and your dog meet I'm sure they will be best of friends! Whether it's just a walk or they stay a few nights I cant wait to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible. I am a stay at home mom, photographer, mua and an artist. I am open to last minute scheduling if needed or scheduling something further in advance. Something consistent and on going would be preferred but if it’s just a one time thing that is okay with me as well! For walks we will go on a walk around the block. If needed we will work on not pulling the leash. For a boarding visit I will get them all set up and comfortable in my house. If it’s nice out we will go for a walk and play outside. Playing indoors as well and working on tricks they know or maybe learning a new one. Potty breaks will be provided whenever needed and food will be given as directed.
“This was Reba's second time with Amber and Korey. She was so excited to see them again. She loves them. It's clear they're dog lovers from the greeting Reba gave them when we arrived, how anxious she was to see them. and the pictures of Amber playing with her. Their girls got her a new toy again too. So sweet!”
“Another great visit for Wesley. He absolutely loves going to Erin’s house. Got there and he ran right up to the door. He gets tons of love and has a playmate whom he met through Rover named Willow. Can’t say enough about Erin and her family. They are beyond wonderful.”
“Cyen is great! My very shy pup warmed up to her in no time. The fenced in yard is nice for potty breaks and playing chase. Communication was great, Cyen even sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

“Brandi was great with my 3 dogs. She was on time. Was able to meet the dogs and I before the first day. There was an issue with the neighbors dog jumping my fence when she was out with my 3 dogs. She handled the situation very well! She sent me a lot of pictures also! I would have Brandi come back and take care of my dogs again!.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was young. I’ve walked, fed, bathed, helped train, and overall cared for animals. I have had experience with kittens/puppies and senior animals! I have watched family and friends dogs! I work part-time and my schedule is often different, but I am always free after 7 pm weekdays and 6 pm weekends.

“We asked Sonja to walk our two dogs, and she was amazing! During the meet and greet, she was very thorough with taking notes and asking questions. We have some special instructions for our two dogs, and she was able to do everything flawlessly! Thank you Sonja!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but in my adult life I’ve gotten my own 3 labs. They are so special to me and I treat them like my children. If I had your dog(s) here too they’d get treated the same way. We all love to go on long energizing walks, but if your dog prefers to walk alone I can do that too! I currently work full time remotely 8-4:30, so it is very easy for me to travel with a laptop. I would be fully available to watch your dogs in their space comfortable to them. (As long as you have good internet connection lol) I am fully available on the weekends as well. I have 3 SUPER friendly dogs, they are very big hits at the dog park. I do sleep with them and allow them on the furniture. I can easily crate a dog if needed as I have 3 that I used for my dogs that they do not need anymore. I don’t have a fenced in yard as my dogs have an invisible fence, but they don’t get let out unsupervised and I do have a lead/chain that I can attach to my back deck.
About: Hey there! A little about me, I am a huge animal lover, I grew up with my mom house sitting on rover! So I’m very used to many dogs of all sizes! I am in college (hybrid) and don’t have the space for my own pup, so caring for others animals gives me my fix! I was the neighborhood dog walker, I have pet sat for family and friends, I also have experience with cats, and exotics, chinchillas, ferrets, birds, bunnies, farm animals, you name it!:) My days are super flexible, I’m always communicative about when I’m gone. My classes are hybrid, so I don’t have to go in to school often, if I do it’s normally short periods! Meaning plenty of time for your lovely pets!! I have lots of experience with all type of temperaments when it comes to dogs and cat’s and other animals, I’m also very communicative and send lots of updates and photos!
About: I have had pets all my life. I have 5 of my own dogs of various shape and size and foster for a couple different rescues! I am very flexible, I'm available most of the time and love to meet new pets. I try to fit the needs of pet owners where I can. I don’t plan on doing any home care. I have 5 dogs of my own and also foster. This just isn’t possible at this time.
About: As far as experience goes there isn’t a time in my life I remember that I wasn’t caring for an animal. From reptiles, to rodents, to cats and dogs, I’ve had them all. From a young age I was taught responsibility and discipline when it came to caring for tiny creatures. Additionally for over two years I volunteered weekly at a local animal shelter. During this time I gained knowledge as to how animals interacted with one another, how to properly administer medication, warning signs to look out for, what to do in emergencies, and deeply studied animal behavior. To add on to that I am currently employed at a doggie daycare. During my time here not only have I gotten to widen my horizons when it came to taking care of animals but I have learned hands on how to bandage a wound, what to do in animal confrontations as well as how to handle the unexpected such as sickness or seizures. Additionally over the last 3 years I have volunteered at different animal welfare programs across the globe. These include Portugal, Puerto Rico, Tanzania and soon Hawaii. During this time I have not only seen hands on other cultures way of taking care of animals but also gained knowledge as to how to better the animal care I provide to clients. As I previously stated I currently am employed at a doggie daycare. Additionally I work at a bakery as well. My schedule changes weekly so it can be hard to give an exact time frame when booking. Typically I work up to 8 hour shifts. I typically prefer to stay in clients homes to keep their pets safe and happy in their own environment. I will be there in the morning before work, and will immediately come back when I get off as well as being there at night. I try to spend as much time as possible with the pets while you are away I typically only offer staying in the clients home and I am comfortable crating animals while gone. I always keep things like medications safely out of reach and secured. Additionally upon booking I typically ask about any health notes, allergies, or special needs as well as a good contact number for your vet in case of emergency.
“Hannah has been such a saving grace for Knox and I. She is very flexible with me and does such a great job taking Knox on a walk. Knox gets so excited for walks he paces around and Hannah figured out how to get him ready really quick. Updates during walk and always touches base after. Strongly recommend Hannah.”

I will care and treat them like they are my own so trust me they will get the best care ever! They may even get a little spoiled... But I can be strict if you have certain rules you want them to abide by! I have training. Please consider me when thinking about who can care for your furry children. I will give them the best care they deserve! I work part time and have a flexible schedule, so I can be available when needed. I have a car for easy transportation as well. My cats get supervised time outside on harnesses and time in the breezeway with open windows to get some fresh air. My neighborhood is good for taking dogs on walks and there is a wonderful dog park near by!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years now! I can pet sit from anything with fur to scales! I adore animals and provider the proper care they need! As well as spoil them with treats and pets! Whatever you want for your pet needs, I can provide! I am currently working a part time job that doesn’t get in the way of letting pets out/ take care of pet needs! I can accommodate for whatever is needed! I care for pets by taking them on walks, feeding on schedule, pets, treat giving, and many others! I am also a great housekeeper and will clean if it is requested!
“I did not know what to expect, being the first time I contacted a dog walker through Rover. Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She did a fantastic job with taking our dog out for 2 different walks (much longer than I expected) throughout the day. We appreciated the many updates; when she started and ended, during the walks, the pictures, messages, and the summary at the end. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I dog and cat sit for my family members and take my neighbor dogs for walks very frequently. I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I have availability every day of the week and would love to spend my free time with animals. I have a house with a backyard with an extra bedroom to put any pet requirements such as a crate or toys. I am very trustworthy and loving of all animals.
About: Pet Care Experience: Ive had dogs my whole life and will be starting vet tech school in fall. Ive had experiece caring for various sizes, breeds, and ages for almost a year on Rover and over four years on occasion for friends and family members. I have experience not only in walking, feeding, and general care but in bathing, administering medication, and and basic training as well. I have also taken care of several senior dogs some of whom have needed help walking or supporting themselves when going to the bathroom. While I am most experienced in caring for dogs, I have also cared for over a half dozen cats via drop ins and house sittings. This means I am familiar with how to clean and empty litter boxes and I have no qualms about cleaning up any "presents" they may give me. Schedule: Im curently attending school in the spring in fall but my only job is self employed pet sitting through Rover. I have very few other commitments, especially during the summer and on weekends, so I will have plenty of time to play, cuddle, care for, and adore your furbaby or furbabies. Safety and Trust: Since I am not currently employed outside of Rover I will be able to stay with your cat or dog more than 90% of the time during a sitting. Similarily when doing drop ins I almost always can accomodate whatever time the owner would like me to come. My vast experience with dogs and cats has taught me in general what to do and what not to do which allows me to focus on learning the idiosyncrities of your pet during the meet and greet. This experience has also taught me that meet and greets are extremely important so I'm sure to always find a time to complete one with pet owners. Therefore, you will always have the opportunity to meet me, observe how I interact with your pet(s), address any concerns you may have and discuss details in person. During both sittings and drop ins I'm always sure to provide plenty of updates, pictures, and information so you know that your furbaby or furbabies are being well taken care of.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and am now a proud owner for the past 1.5 years! I’m around 1-2 times throughout a typical work day to let my puppy out. She rules this house so no furniture or beds are off limits, which is extended to all the dogs that come into my home (I’ve recently become the extended family dog sitter due to my work schedule). Monday’s-Thursdays I am home 1-2 times during the typical work day for about a half hour each time. Fridays and weekends I’m typically home most of the day, maybe running errands here and there. Allie rules the house here! She is allowed on furniture and beds and this would extend to your baby too. We spend a lot of time outside with water always available and I’m always out with her. We have tons of toys and she doesn’t mind sharing them.

“Cheryl and Josh were wonderful sitters for my dog Molly. They treated her as if she was their own dog. Cheryl was respectful of all the requests that I had made for Molly's stay. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Cheryl shared. It was a great comfort for me knowing that I did not have to worry about Molly while I was away on vacation. We will be booking with Cheryl and Josh again!!”

“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with April. She is very friendly, her home is beautiful and clean, she has a couple of cute kiddos, and she has friendly dogs of her own which provided entertainment for our Paisley. We weren't disappointed - we received photo updates of Paisley at her stay. Upon pickup, Paisley was healthy and happy! We will definitely have April care for Paisley again. Thank you!”

“Rebecca and her family took excellent care of our dog Evie while we were out of town. She was wonderful at communicating—sending us regular updates and adorable pictures that really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. We could tell Evie was happy, loved, and getting plenty of playtime and attention. Communication was spot-on from booking through drop-off, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We’re already planning to book with Rebecca again next time we travel—she’s our new go-to sitter! Highly recommend Rebecca and her family to anyone needing a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”

“Yolanda took such incredible care of my dogs, Bailey and Jinx. From the updates, to the photos, and just making sure they were comfortable and happy, every detail was perfect. It is clear that Yolanda is the best and goes above and beyond to make each pet feel at home. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dogs were in great hands and will definitely use her services again—highly recommend!”
“We have a very challenging dog who was a rescue, she has a lot of quirks and Jenifer has been very kind and patient in caring for Poppy. Poppy would not do well in a kennel setting and having a loving home for her to stay is a real blessing!”
