“Angel and Little Man always have a great time. Easy scheduling, great response times, and my pups are exhausted from playing when they get home. Thanks !”
“Yolanda and her family were amazing! From the day I left my girls behind, I was confident they were in good hands. Yolanda was very responsive to messages and even sent photos of how my girls were adjusting. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the peace of mind you gave me!”
“Angela was amazing!! She took great care of my Hodi. I have never left my boy before so l was very nervous. We did a meet and greet before hand which made me feel more comfortable. Angela sent pictures and text update daily. I HIGHLY recommend her to watch your furbaby. My boy had the best time. Thank you Angela and family🥰”
“Sherry was wonderful with Nukka! She provided updates regularly, gave Nukka lots of love and walks. When a slight health issue arose, Sherry immediately notified me so I was aware of what she was seeing. I was able to get Nukka into the vet the following day for treatment! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Roo had such a great time at Monique's! I love the doggy report card and the frequent updates. She has a great property for doggies to run around and have fun. I don't really think Roo wanted to come home.”
“Kris. Thank you for taking care of Lulo 🥇 , It makes it easier to be away during our vacations knowing someone is caring him the same way we would! Kris is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our dog , She is very warm and friendly, So very pleased with her service!”
“Ruthie had the best time with Ann, Arman and the kids! We got lots of pictures and updates and were completely confident that she was being loved and well cared for. It was so nice knowing we didn’t have to worry one little bit! Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“The best sitter we’ve used. Daniel meshed really well with our Black lab. He watched our dog for 12 days and had no issues. Frequent updates and open communication. Highly recommend!”
“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 🐾”
“Felt very comfortable leaving my doggy with Rhonda! She really takes good care of your dog and gives them plenty of exercise. She’s great at sending pictures and making you feel at ease knowing your doggy is in good hands!!”
“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!”
“An absolutely wonderful four-night stay for my little dog, Rosie! The care, affection and a attention that they generously give is just amazing. Update, photos, videos and any concerns were provided to me throughout Rosie's visit. Five stars is simply not enough stars!”
“Madison and Joseph were great! They were extremely communicative through the entire stay and sent pictures frequently. Piper loved playing with Knox. We will be back again!”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”
“Jacquelin and her husband have been a wonderful find and we could not be more grateful for her and her husband’s incredible care for our guy, Teddy. We were gone for 10 days for our spring break and were a little nervous being gone that long. Teddy comes from a one dog household and normally stays at home with a family member or friend; however this trip was too long for an arrangement like that and could not have been more pleased with the care, concern, consistent communication and love given to our sweet guy! We would not hesitate to use them again. Thanks so much 💛”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”

“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“This was the third time Nycole has taken care of my kitties in the last few months and I have her booked for several more upcoming trips! Excellent communication and she's very reliable. I love how she's always trying to make my kitties feel more comfortable with her. They're older and one has special needs. I'm so glad I found Nycole to take care of them when I'm away!”
“Jen takes the best care of our cats and consistently goes the extra mile to make us feel comfortable about being away from our home/cats! The cats love her (including our shy one).”
“Miranda was amazing! I felt comfortable leaving my cat thanks to the attentive care, quick responses, and detailed updates. I would definitely like to book again!”
“Shelby is great! Her communication is prompt and always keeps me informed. Our furbabies have gotten to know her and now wait for her at the door. We've used her before and will continue to use her!”
“Jenni is amazing! She has watched our cat, Khali, twice now and everytime we leave I know she is in safe hands. Jenni is great at communicating and understanding pets needs and making sure that our baby is doing well while we are gone.”
“Tegra is super sweet and I immediately felt comfortable into our home and trusting her with our little rascal Kitty cat. Assuming she accepts I'll happily use her services again!”
“Olivia was great! My dog is a sweetheart to most everyone, but doesn't cuddle with anyone really other than me. Some of the photos Olivia shared showed my girl cuddling up to her and that was amazing! We have had many wonderful sitters on Rover, but none that my dog seemed this comfortable with. Olivia took great care of my dog and it was such a relief to have her help while we were away for the weekend. We will definitely be looking to use Olivia again in the future! Aside from the dog care itself, Olivia was just wonderful to work with. She was understanding when I lost our message history and just a very nice person.”
“Maddalena was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats while we were away! She provided great communication & updates, and our cats loved her visits! Food/water/litter boxes/play time were well taken care of while we were gone. Would highly recommend Maddalena!”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
“Rachelle was a very nice, considerate and tidy sitter to have in my home. She let us know all was well and responded quickly to our texts. When we returned home Kikki came downstairs to greet me and went and sat near Rachelle ‘s feet. So she was definitely Kikki approved.”
“Madeline has helped out with Cleo twice now. She has been amazing taking great care of her and taking her on walks and sending lots of photos of her! She truly does a great job!”
“Jenn was great with my cat Winston! He seemed very happy in her care and I can tell she loves animals. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times which I appreciated!”
“Jessica was so great with our older kitty with diabetes. Brownie really warmed up to her and she was great about letting us know Brownie was doing well! She required two insulin shots daily and it was a great relief to have someone car for her with skills and a tender heart. We definitely will use Jessica again!”
“Rayanna was a find for last minute cat sitting. She was fantastic! Great photos, tidy house, clean boxes, laundry in washer. And the cats were not starving for attention, they barely moved when we walked in. We will be using Rayanna again!”
“Thank you Jaclyn for taking care of Chola! We had a really great experience and loved the pictures. It was good to know that our old lady was in good hands while we were gone. Will be a repeat customer if we travel again soon.”

“Perseus and Dereck were great hosts to Spider. They took him in last minute. They provided photos during his short stay. I will definitely have them watch our dogs again. They deserve 10 stars!!”
About: I've had dogs most of my life. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is 3 years old and loves a friend. I have an 11 year old daughter that will also provide lots of love. Your dog won't just be boarded, they'll become a part of the family. No kennels necessary, they can sleep with me! I'm a stay at home mom. I love taking my dog out for walks around my quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I'm home almost all the time. I'd love another doggy friend to visit us! I have tie outs for the dogs when they'd like fresh air. We go on walks as needed....and we can walk more if your dog loves it like mine does!
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.
“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.”
“Will and Sarah were great with Maple on her first doggy day care visit! Felt confident to leave her for the day and they were super flexible to accommodate my last minute work meetings. Will be going back for overnight soon.”
“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, since I was 13yrs old. We always kept a dog growing up which made me fall in love with them. I’m currently open and available anytime between 9:30am-4:00pm and 5:30p-9:00p. Monday-Friday and I’m available from 9am-9pm Saturday and Sunday. I can also be on a need be schedule as well. I have a small friendly Yorke that will keep your dog company while being cared for. I have have nice size bag yard but it is not fully fenced in. I also have a park about a minute away from home walking distance.
“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”
“Maria & Nayibe are awesome, highly recommended! We weren’t sure how our puppy would do all day with other dogs the first time. They went out of their way to introduce slowly and everything worked out great. Appreciate the flexibility on early hours and that you treated Rory like your own. The pictures show she thought it was her house as well! She is a picky annd light eater and the fact she was eating there both days tells me all I need to know. Thank you! Look forward to having her with you again!”
“Auria took great care of Zeus! She was also very accommodating to our last minute request to extend his stay a couple hours longer. I would definitely recommend Auria to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in my care at one time!) I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why I will update you with pictures as much as you would like. I have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.
“Nycole is rock-solid dependable and takes great care of Shoresy! It’s always so nice to come home knowing he’s had a great walk! Nycole is very quick to respond and gives great updates. I highly recommend Nycole.”
About: Having been surrounded by dogs and cats throughout my life, I've cultivated a profound passion for working with these wonderful companions. While growing up, my mother and I had a cat, but most of my interactions with pets occurred through my grandparents. My grandparents have always had dogs and allowed me to be actively involved in their care, including feeding and walking. This experience nurtured a deep passion and profound appreciation for animals, as they are not just our pets but integral members of our family. I embarked on my first job at McDonald's, where I gained valuable experience in providing excellent customer service. In September of my first college year, I began working at the UW Veterinary Hospital as a kennel worker. This role primarily involved cleaning and providing vet students, vet techs, and doctors with the necessary equipment for treating animals. In the following spring semester, I left the hospital and secured a position as a dog caregiver at Dog Haus University in Madison. I was already familiar with dog behavior, but this job allowed me to gain confidence in recognizing a dog's emotions through their body language. Additionally, I currently work at a doggy daycare in Milwaukee called Unifursity in the same capacity, but with the added responsibility of pottying and feeding dogs since this establishment also offers boarding services. I have experience in petsitting my grandparents' dogs in their home while they were out of town and have demonstrated my ability to maintain their routine. Being at the doggy daycare has allowed me to gain new skills such as properly administering the Bordetella and Distemper vaccination, along with solidifying my skill in maintaining a dogs daily schedule when it comes to feeding, pottying and excerise. Regarding my experience in Madison, opportunities that arose did not align with my housing situation since I did reside in the campus dorms. Patience is a quality I've developed over the years, partly due to having younger siblings who can be quite challenging. My grandma's dog, a large German Shepherd with severe separation anxiety, has given me experience in dealing with dogs who are considered "difficult." Working at the daycare, patience is crucial, as some dogs struggle to follow instructions and require consistent redirection. There have been instances of nervous dogs who were initially wary of strangers, but through careful handling, consistent communication, and positive interactions, I gained their trust while maintaining authority when necessary. I am a full-time student, but I have flexibility on times as my schedule isn’t super demanding. I do work Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays, and I’m able to be accommodating around times if needed. While I do have a full house that could be overwhelming to some pets, as a pet sitter in a client's home, I will follow their guidelines closely which may involve feeding pets according to their usual routine, administering medication if necessary, and engaging in play or exercise activities. I aim to maintain a clean and organized space, respecting the home and the pet owner's preferences. The specific services I offer may vary, so I'm adaptable to the needs of both the pet and the owner. Clear communication and a genuine love for animals guide my approach to pet care, ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care.
“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: Hi! We’re Maddie & Joseph — a pet-loving couple with a lifestyle built around dogs. We offer a calm, loving, and active environment where your dog is part of the family. I (Maddie) have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have always been hands-on with training. My grandpa has been breeding huskies since before I was born so dogs have always been a large part of my life. . I’m confident working with high-energy and large breeds, and I’m especially passionate about giving puppies the structure, love, and attention they need. I previously worked at a doggy daycare which has given me plenty of knowledge on caretaking and maintaining a happy and healthy home with multiple dogs. I (Joseph) have always had a deep love for animals—I raised a kitten growing up and worked at a reptile store where I cared for reptiles, fish, and insects before traveling for a year. Together, we’re all about giving pets thoughtful, experienced, personalized care every step of the way. 🐾 We are both currently working from home so normally one of us is always home. If we do leave your pup will never be left alone for more than an hour. Our space includes a fully fenced backyard, a dedicated doggy room with a queen-sized mattress, cozy dog beds, and an XL crate if needed. Ring cameras and security system so we know our house is always watched. Maddie has trained her super well-mannered and playful 6-year-old Siberian Husky since birth who loves making new friends. We only take in 2-3 dogs at a time which is plenty of space for our house. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with a playground, large field and lots of kids around. We follow your dog’s routine closely and send regular updates so you always feel connected—your pup will be treated like part of the family. 🐾
“Shelby is great! We couldn’t ask for anything better. Shelby walks our dogs three days a week and she’s been on time, extremely sweet, the dogs love her and she keeps us informed on our dogs. We have a big German Shepherd that tends to pull on walks, and Shelby rose to the challenge without complaints. I highly recommend her to others looking for a walker.”
“Miranda was a wonderful dog walker. I called her last minute and she was able to accommodate my schedule. My dog was excited to see her every day. Miranda showed up promptly and gave me updates after each walk. She was very kind to both my pet and my mom who was babysitting my dog. I would highly recommend Miranda!”
About: I started off taking care of small animals, but then became trained as a kennel attendant and enrichment specialist in my growing career in animal care. I wanted to offer more to my local community with the current skills I have, along with learn and grow with every pet and parent! I’m aware of how dogs communicate with each other with body language and have been trained to break apart a fight, even before a fight could start.
About: My whole life has been around dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs. In my adult life I owned 3 dogs. I’ve helped train puppies of my own all the way to caring for senior dogs. I have watched friends and neighbors animals from checking in with cats daily to housing dogs for a few days to months. I have a very flexible work schedule so I can check on your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after work. If you need me to be at your house full time with your pet I can easily work from home multiple days. I am a digital media marketer so I can work about anywhere and at any time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very playful dogs if they need any playtime. I know a great dog park for dogs to run and play their heart out. I love going outside so taking dogs for walks is one of my favorite things to do. Since I live with 2 dogs I know how to feed, play, relax and sleep with them.
About: I've grown up with pets ever since I was little. I've been trusted even from young ages to walk, feed, and clean up after dogs. I've never had a bad experience and I'm always willing to encounter any and every kind of dog out there with lots of love and care! I have my own pet at home, had him for 10 years. Even after so long, it's so easy and even fun sometimes to do the little things for your pets like feeding them, walking them, and just making sure you spend some quality time with them! There's never a moment I don't want to be around my pet, or any pet for that matter! I always think the key to good pet care is real love and attention. Watching for what your pets want and giving them it will make them happy. If it's attention, bring on the cuddles! If it's a walk, let's do it! And that goes for pets that aren't mine as well. I always care for them like they're mine, and will pay attention to what they want as well as what their owners know is best too!

About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home 🌈 Hi! We’re Percy and Darik, two experienced pet lovers offering premium dog boarding from our home in Brown Deer. I’m a professional dog handler with experience working with hundreds of dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and Darik works from home full time. Between the two of us, pups are rarely ever alone and always cared for with confidence, attention, and a whole lot of love. 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious fenced in yard for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Two attentive, dog-experienced sitters under one roof ✨ Our Story ✨ Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes, and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences, we’re happy to accommodate. 🟢 Drop Off & Pick Up Windows 🟢 Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm Weekends 9am to 7pm Pick ups or drop offs outside of the window can be accommodated for an additional fee. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. 🐾 👉 Send us a request to get started! We’d love to meet your pup! Schedule Caring for dogs is our full time focus. Darik provides Rover pet care full time, and I am home the majority of the time, aside from a short shift on Thursday mornings from 6am to noon. This allows us to maintain a calm, attentive environment where dogs are rarely alone and always have someone nearby to meet their needs. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents — sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind — with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at.
About: Hello, my name is Mykala. I am currently in my undergrad to become a doctor of veterinary medicine. To help with both my professional and personal goals, I would love to help care for your fur baby! I have grown up around many different breeds and personalities, which allows me to adjust to your pet personally. I'm not only experienced in both cats and dogs, but pocket pets and exotics as well. I am currently a full time student online, so I have a decent amount of free time to dedicate to your fur babies! Whether that be taking them on a walk around the neighborhood or chilling and watching a movie! I grew up watching family friends pets in my home. So I'm confident that I can make your baby comfortable and safe while you're away! I am willing to stay and watch your house, or just drop in if you'd feel more comfortable with that!
About: Hi, my name is Lynn and my love for pets started at a young age. I find that dogs need more than love and affection. They need mental stimulation. While your dog is in my care, I assure you they will have all three. (Love, affection and mental stimulation) I have always had dogs my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old Lagotto Romagnolo named Bonita. She loves to play with other dogs big or small. I live across the street from a park so we will have plenty of play time. We will do lots of walks, play time as well and some down time. If you need help with basic obedience training, let's chat. If you have a kennel or doggy bed please bring it with you, as well as food and treats. I look forward to taking care of your dog(s)! Pet care is my life. I have a daily routine with my dog Bo. I take her to the dog park a few days a week and also let her run in the yard as well as across the street at the park. My days and hours are flexible, and someone is always home. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I will use a leash with your dog. I live on a quiet culdasac and have a park across the street for lots of play time.

“Angel and Little Man always have a great time. Easy scheduling, great response times, and my pups are exhausted from playing when they get home. Thanks !”
“Yolanda and her family were amazing! From the day I left my girls behind, I was confident they were in good hands. Yolanda was very responsive to messages and even sent photos of how my girls were adjusting. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the peace of mind you gave me!”
“Sherry was wonderful with Nukka! She provided updates regularly, gave Nukka lots of love and walks. When a slight health issue arose, Sherry immediately notified me so I was aware of what she was seeing. I was able to get Nukka into the vet the following day for treatment! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Roo had such a great time at Monique's! I love the doggy report card and the frequent updates. She has a great property for doggies to run around and have fun. I don't really think Roo wanted to come home.”
“Ruthie had the best time with Ann, Arman and the kids! We got lots of pictures and updates and were completely confident that she was being loved and well cared for. It was so nice knowing we didn’t have to worry one little bit! Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“The best sitter we’ve used. Daniel meshed really well with our Black lab. He watched our dog for 12 days and had no issues. Frequent updates and open communication. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Madison and Joseph were great! They were extremely communicative through the entire stay and sent pictures frequently. Piper loved playing with Knox. We will be back again!”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”
“Scott, Ashley and family take such good care of our 92 lb. Weimaraner, Hank. He has a lot of energy and always does well when with the family. He gets at least 2 walks a day in addition to play time in their large fenced in yard. Hank recently stayed with the family for 25 days which is the longest we’ve left him with any sitter. Everything went very well. Scott is great about sending pictures and updates daily.”
“Elizabeth and her family took really good care of my boy soap. They sent pics every day and updated text messages. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care that they showed my fur baby and he had the time of his life also. I think he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank Elizabeth and family for taking such good care of my boy soap.”
“My dog Bella always love to spend time with MJ. She is well cared for and I’m at ease while away. MJ is great with providing her with good care and comfort.”
“Jessica was seriously amazing. She met my pup Mocha one week before the 5 day stay & communicated with me every day with photos/updates. When picking up Mocha, my pup ran back to her to give her one more goodbye kiss before getting in my car. I will 100% book with Jessica again!!”
“We couldn't be happier with Sarah! Her and her family were incredibly reliable, warm & welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure Moose was comfortable and well-cared for. When our flight was changed last minute, Sarah was understanding and flexible. We appreciated the daily updates and so many amazing photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy Moose was during his stay. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We will absolutely be rebooking for our next vacation.”
“Kim has been so flexible and available for us. We've had to use her at the last minute a few times, plus we have 2 dogs, and she has accommodated the requests graciously. I love that she sends updates and pictures or videos when they are in her care. They get the love and attention and exercise they need when with Kim.”
“Persius and Derick are amazing people and animal lovers. I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care they provided for my two pups on less than 24 hrs notice. I think I can imagine we all feel anxious leaving our animals with someone new. I didn't have that feeling at all with Persius and Derick. My pups instantly picked up on their good and caring nature. I knew instantly they were in very good hands. So thankful for these two amazing individuals who took such wonderful care of my dogs.”
“Ashlee did wonderful taking care of my 11yo Shih tzu and 2yo Goldendoodle. She took them on walks, and sent me updates while I was on my trip!! She was flexible with the time changes in my travel and made it easy for me to pick them up!! I know my pups were in great care with Ashlee!! Thanks again ☺️”
