“Ann and Arman cared for our 6 month old puppy for two weeks and it was a great experience. Our puppy, May, was well loved, exercised, and included as part of their family from the first day. We got several updates each day with pictures from walks, school bus drop offs, bedtime routines, and playtime. We felt very comfortable that May was getting the best care possible and that made our vacation even more enjoyable. We will be using them again for sure to care for our pup. Thanks Ann & Arman!!”
“Andrew helped watch my dog, Lucy, during a recent trip I had. He was very flexible and communicative throughout the process with drop off and pickup, and sent great photos throughout the stay to keep me comfortable regarding how Lucy was doing. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
“Ester was great with Zeus. Zeus is very energetic, and had a wonderful time. I was sent videos of him during his stay. Will definitely book with Ester again.”
“Sarah, Dan and their girls were amazing! Badger loves children and had a ball. They provided pictures during the stay which helped calm our nerves. We noticed he was exhausted when he got home which is a good sign. We would definitely use them again.”
“Absolutely a wonderful visit with Michael for my little dog, Rosie. So much attention and care was given to her. Photos and updates were provided daily. Most importantly, Rosie was given affection and gentle kind care. I can definitely recommend Michael for wonderful pet care.”
“Gabriel was great, my poppy had a great time with him and his puppy Mel. Lots of playing and wrestling, and Gabriel was great about sending pictures/updates all weekend. 5 Stars!”
“Willow had a great time! Laura took great care of her and sent a photo every day. She got along well with Diesel, and she ate all her food, which means she was very comfortable at Laura’s house. Knowing she was doing well allowed us to enjoy our vacation more. We will definitely book Laura again!”
“Dani & Aiden were great with our dogs and very accommodating. They are extremely flexible with timing and sent us plenty of pictures through out our dogs stay.”
“Stella LOVES going to Michelle’s house. She is so tired when she gets home from playing so much. I think she feels like a part of the pact with Michelle’s animals. Highly recommend.”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter for our pup! She communicated throughout the stay, sent pictures, and made him feel at home! I highly recommend! Thank you for the experience!”
“Our puppy Kiki had another wonderful stay with the best pet sitter! It was a long stay while we were on vacation and I never once had to worry because I know how well she is well cared for and loved. I can’t thank you enough for being such a great and loving home away from home for our Kiki. Thank you!”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Frank was really wonderful with Josie. He was very communicative and sent lots of photos during her stay. Highly recommended, will definitely be a repeat customer”
“Evita was great with Togepi, she was on her own little vacation while I was away. I could tell Togepi was well taken care of and Evita would make sure to communicate and send me updates when I started to miss my pup. 10/10, would book again!”

About: My name is Tishara, and I’m from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have volunteered with multiple humane societies for over a year, where I worked with a wide variety of pets and learned a great deal about animal behavior, care, and compassion. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel abroad for work, and whenever I’m back home, I truly enjoy working with Rover and reconnecting with pets in my community. While I was away, my dog Teddi who had been by my side for 11 years passed away in October 2025. Losing him was incredibly hard, that was really my baby🥺but being part of Rover has brought me comfort by allowing me to continue giving love, care, and attention to other animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with the same patience, respect, and affection I would want for them. I am an animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time building trust with each companion. I look forward to continuing to grow my experience with you while providing dependable, loving care for both companions and their owners. I work a part-time schedule Wednesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., which allows me to be flexible and intentional with pet care. On workdays, I build pet care into my mornings and evenings by providing meals, refreshing water, and spending quality time through walks or play before and after work. Once I’m home, I dedicate time to longer walks or more active engagement to ensure pets receive the exercise and attention they need. On my days off and weekends, I have even more availability for extended care, including longer outings, park visits, grooming, socialization, and vet appointments if needed. I stay consistent with feeding, cleaning, and routine schedules, and I always make sure pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for, even during busy weeks. When caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I follow a consistent routine that includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any special care based on the pet’s needs, such as medication or grooming. I also make sure the space is secure and enriched with toys, comfort items, and plenty of interaction to keep pets happy and stress-free.

About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Michael and his wife were very kind to champ. They are true dog lovers. Very responsive to our requests. We returned later than we thought we due to traffic and Michael was were very understanding and gracious about it. Thank you!”
“Our 1-year old chocolate lab Charlie LOVED hanging at Auria’s home! She sent me a pic during the day (so nice ??) & when I picked him up he was in the happiest mood! Will definitely use her again!”
“If we could give her 10 stars we would! She made our visit to Milwaukee so much easier. We were nervous leaving Otis while we enjoyed our day out. Michelle assured us he would be fine playing with the other dogs and she was right! She sent pictures of Otis playing and you could tell he was happy and having fun. He also slept very well that night! We appreciate her watching Otis. We couldn’t be more happier of how his care was!”
“Miranda took care of my dog like nobody would. She was flexible and patient, and I will absolutely take my dear Galleta with her again. Miranda is super reliable and clearly loves animals. Galleta had lots of fun with her dog, Bandit. Thanks a lot for an amazing daycare experience for my dog!”
About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
“Mickey loved his afternoon with Jessica! She took him for walks and made him feel at home. He was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Jessica is such a kind soul, we feel extemely fortunate to have found her!”
About: All my life animals have been a part of my life! I have always had a dog or cat in the home growing up. I just love spending time with my dog, taking him on walks, cuddling with him, and playing fetch with him! Same with my kitten she can be the biggest cuddle bug, or Ms. Independent (I love her either way)! I am currently exploring pet care as a full time job! I have open/available for all your pet care needs day/evening care, boarding, walks! Let’s communicate, I’d love to help you with your pet care needs Currently I have 1 dog a 13 year old chihuahua, and a 6 month old kitten. scrappy and Anastasia are very friendly, and get along great with other animals! We take walks daily, and visit a local dog park 2 to 3 times a week.
About: Hi! I'm Andrew, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs! I've cared for my family's dogs for years and currently work for a privately owned dog walking company in Shorewood, where I've gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm passionate about making sure every furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved while they're in my care. Whether it's a fun walk, plenty of playtime, enrichment, or lots of belly rubs, I always treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I also enjoy working on basic training and reinforcing good manners through positive reinforcement, making walks both fun and rewarding. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and the best experience possible for both you and your pup. I can't wait to meet your four-legged family member and become their new favorite walking buddy! I am currently available to book most days of the week as dog care is my passion. Please feel free to reach out to set up a meet and greet. I am currently available to take care of pets in client’s home. I am flexible with needs, dates, and times. Let me know how I can help 🙂
“Dane is fantastic; couldn’t recommend him more. Our pup loves getting to hang out with him and his goldens. We’re pretty sure our dog would prefer to live with Dane and his dogs if he could! We know that our dog has a great time because whenever we turn down the street that Dane lives on, our dog loses it with excitement regardless if we’re dropping him off or on our way somewhere else. Great backyard, the sweetest goldens and super nice humans. Definitely a winning trio.”
About: I helped raise my own two family dogs and ensured that they were always walked, bathed, fed, and happy. It's also a habit of mine to go take the extra step like wiping my dogs and make sure they are clean after they've been outside. I've also taken care of my neighbor's dogs alongside our own family dogs, so I have experience handling multiple pets at once. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, while working from home 2-3 days a week. I also go to workout classes in the evening. Normally, if working from home, I take the dogs out for a walk in the morning. On other days, I take them for a walk in the evening. I normally take pets out 3 times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and night. I make sure the dogs have a dedicated spot for food and bed. I have both a park and a dog park, 5-10 minutes away from my apartment, which I can take the pets to for a walk or some dog play time. There are also multiple yard-like grass areas where the dogs are meant to do their business. If pets stay with me for longer than two weeks, I bathe them every other week.
“Amy was great with my pup. She took time with us for meet and greet which was reassuring and helpful. Stayed in touch and sent pics while my pup was with her—highly reccomend.”
“Aidan was amazing with our last second booking and went so far above and beyond! Will definitely send our dog here again next time we’re in the area!”
About: We love animals but aren’t in a place in our lives to have our own. We’d love to be able to get some pet love while still being able to keep our flexible lifestyle. We thought pet sitting would be the best way to do so! We genuinely love pet sitting/housesitting since we just love doing new things together. We are very responsible and are almost always reachable by text. We have a car and are willing to travel to you. We are excited to hear from you soon :) I only work in office Tuesday through Thursday from 9-5, other than that I am usually home. On those days I can feed them before and after work. Ethan (my boyfriend) also works fully remote so he’ll be around to take care of the pets on the days I’m in office. A midday walk is a great way to get him out of the house We have the top level of a duplex. It’s a pretty open space. We love to go on walks and spend time with furry friends. We’re really good about sending photo updates and checking in with the owners throughout the day.
“Monica is awesome! And so is her dog, Capone! My puppy, Milo, has been through so much in his short life and Monica always makes him feel at home! He loves coming to daycare with her a few times a week. I swear Monica’s dog is Milo’s long lost brother because from her updates she sends, they’re always together! I’m so appreciative that I have Monica and her services because she’s very flexible and so kind. I can tell Milo is treated well when he goes to daycare. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Drew and Rue are awesome hosts! Luna and Rue became fast friends and they spent a lot of time playing and running around. Drew was kind enough to send pics and video to this nervous fur mom. He also asked if she had any particular routines to follow which was so appreciated. Luna has been good and tired out today so I could get some work done after I picked her up! Highly recommend Drew and Rue, we will be regular clients of theirs moving forward.”

“Jessica is amazing! Our dog Gabby stayed with her during the day and they got to enjoy nice walks, go to the park and get lots of play time. Jessica kept us updated during the day and sent us lots of cute pictures. Gabby is excited to see her again!”
“Mika was amazing. They took the time to connect with my boy. My boy is hesitant about letting people getting him out of the crate and Mika was so sweet with Salvador. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
“Met with Maggie for a meet and greet and a walk. Maggie was very responsive and prompt. She was communicative in the app, providing pictures and updates on their potty breaks as well. I’m looking forward to working with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and more. I currently work as an enrichment specialist/dog handler at a dog daycare, where I supervise and care for dogs of all sizes with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. Before working professionally with dogs, I also spent years walking and caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with shy dogs, high-energy dogs, puppies, and senior pets, and I always focus on making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very attentive to behavior, routines, and body language, and I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals instead of just rushing through visits or walks. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my priority. I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of free time and space for your pup(s)! I am free every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with all day availability and flexibility! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I have professional dog handling experience, pay close attention to behavior and routines, and have a fenced yard for safe playtime. Something I’d also prioritize are play breaks! Play breaks/rest for dogs are just as important as exercise, which is something most people miss!
“First time using Rover! Excellent experience. Travis was awesome. Prior to her first walk with him, he came over for a meet and greet which was very helpful. Right away, Whinnie could tell he was a dog lover. He also was very responsive to all of my questions I had in person and via the app. We will definitely use him again! It is such a good feeling to know our pup is being taken care of.”
About: I have had experience caring for many different kinds of animals throughout my life, such as dogs, horses, guinea pigs, and fish. I am comfortable and confident with walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I am a full-time grad student, and I also work a part-time job. My schedule is a little different each weekday, sometimes with breaks in the middle of the day. I am available all day, every other weekend. I do not currently care for any pets in my home. I am not currently accepting jobs that require a pet to stay in my home.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, dogs all through my childhood and cats all through my adult life. I have experience with caring for multiple animals and training as well. I have an open schedule at the moment, working on school online so I have a lot of free time. I love to walk dogs and sit at your home, as I have a shy kitten at home who doesn’t mix well with other animals. I love to make your animal comfortable, and I understand not everybody’s will warm up to you right away. I make effort to keep in contact with you to make sure your pet’s needs are all met.
About: As someone who grew up on a small farm, I have been around a variety of animals since birth. I have experience caring for a variety of species and am comfortable handling any animal. I have volunteered with local animal shelters for over a decade, so I also have extensive experience caring for pets with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a part-time sitter who is providing pet care services in addition to my full-time work. However, as a professor at a local university, I have a very flexible daily schedule and can easily provide pet care during typical business hours. Additionally, I do not work in the summer, which increases my availability from mid-May to September. I am very intentional about the number of clients I take at a time to ensure that I can provide comprehensive care to booked clients. I believe open communication is most important to be able to provide safe and reliable care for your pets. During our meet and greet, I will ask many questions to ensure that I have a full picture of what caring for your pet requires and how to meet your expectations. As someone who uses a Rover sitter to care for my pets when I am away, I personally understand the trust that is needed to leave your pets in someone else's care. I strive to build trust with clients by showing up when I say I do and following all instructions provided to me. And, it is not just about building trust with you but also your pet! If your pet has any behavioral issues or quirks, it's important for me to know this so that I can ensure safety for your pet and myself. This will help me adjust my interactions with them so I can build trust with your pet and respect their boundaries. The more information I have, the better!
“Carrianne was able to help us with a last minute walk for our dog. She took the time to stop by the day before to meet him. We appreciated the help and would book her again if the chance comes up!”

“Alex is an excellent dog walker/caretaker. My dogs love her and she is 100% reliable. She goes out of her way to help her clients. Her communication is excellent and timely. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica took the best care of Max! Her communication was impeccable and you could see the quality in her care she provided for our dog. We could tell Max looked forward to his walks with her. We would highly recommend her care with anyone’s pet!”
“Jackie was extremely attentive and great with our Daisy! Our dog warmed up to Jackie right away, and thoroughly enjoyed the walk with her. We are looking forward to many more!”
“Jessica went above and beyond all expectations! She was great with Sullivan and even brought in a package off of our porch when she dropped sully off. Amazing walker and will definitely book again! ☺️”
About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, energetic with playful dogs, and gentle with senior animals who may need extra support and slower-paced care. I’m also very detail-oriented and make sure routines are followed closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I communicate consistently with pet owners through updates and photos so they always know their pet is happy and well cared for. What sets me apart most is the amount of genuine attention and affection I give to each pet. I don’t just “watch” animals — I spend quality time with them to make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently nannying on weekdays from 8:00am - 4:30 pm, so I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks/check-ins, and overnight care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m especially flexible on weekends and have much more availability for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and quality playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, stress-free, and fun. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, and feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have two large-breed dogs at home, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, high-energy dogs, and I have also frequently dog sat for smaller-breed dogs with different temperaments and care needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care requests.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’ve taken my brother’s dog on walks and potty breaks numerous times and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog for several days at a time while she was out of town, managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. In addition, I’ve helped friends by stopping by during the day to let their dogs outside and make sure they were comfortable and cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I strive to provide patient, reliable, and loving care so both pets and owners feel at ease. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a fun walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating them like they’re my own. I'm currently in between jobs, so I am free any day of the week. I usually spend my mornings on my job hunt and then go for a walk or run and exercise. I'm very physically active and enjoy being outside, so I'm very open and flexible! I have a private dog park at my apartment building that is great! I am also open to whatever my clients' needs and wants are. If they need me to stay at their place for a little to help their pet feel comfortable, I can accommodate. As mentioned before, I love being outside for walks, or if you have a sporty dog that enjoys runs, I can help out as well! I have a great track record for trust worthiness and dependability. I'm very communicative and will always be available to send pictures or talk through any questions you may have.

“Ann and Arman cared for our 6 month old puppy for two weeks and it was a great experience. Our puppy, May, was well loved, exercised, and included as part of their family from the first day. We got several updates each day with pictures from walks, school bus drop offs, bedtime routines, and playtime. We felt very comfortable that May was getting the best care possible and that made our vacation even more enjoyable. We will be using them again for sure to care for our pup. Thanks Ann & Arman!!”

“Our two pups, Senor Jax and Miss Phoebe are our well loved and respected companions. So leaving these two behind to be cared for by Holly and Dan has been one of the BEST investments and decisions we've decided on. WE highly recommend Holly and Dan to any other pup parents. Toni and Toby, Wauwatosa”
“Marilynn took care of our two sassy lil pups for an entire week. The sassy part is that they don't typically play nice with other dogs - unless they are at Marilynn's! She has worked her dog-whispering magic on them and they have become more sociable. They love Marilynn and we do too:)”
“Tracy watched our two aussies for a week and Tracy was so communicative, sending us updates the whole week. The dogs looked happy and she did a great job acclimating them to the other dogs that were staying as well. We will definitely book again!”
“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”

“My dog Kenzie and I had a great experience with this first stay. Cindy send reassuring pictures and comments to let me know, that she was settling in. I appreciated daily pictures and got the impression, that my dog was being cared for in the way that I would care for her. Cindy was very responsive to any questions and flexible with pickup times. All this made this a very positive experience. Thank you so much, Cindy, I am glad I found you and will happily leave my pup with you another time.”
