“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“Highly recommend! Heather put my mind at ease while away from my fur baby. She sent daily updates/photos to assure me all was well with my pup. Heather worked with my dog on some behavioral issues as well! She treated my dog as one of her own, truly happy with how the extended overnight stay went; hope to use her again and again in the future”
“Scott and family were amazing! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Dixie was in good hands. Scott sent pictures frequently and I loved getting them. Dixie looked so happy and content. In fact when I picked her up to go home she cried half the way home! LOL I think she was missing them I am blessed to have found this family to care for my furbaby when I am gone.”
“Kylie was amazing with my puppy Goose. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated. She also taught him a couple tricks and continued with his crate training. Appreciate how well she took care of my pup. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our dog stayed with a sitter and we had a wonderful experience. Jenifer did an excellent job caring for Ellie and seemed attentive to her needs. It is difficult to leave your pet for a week, but also reassuring to know they are in good hands while you are gone. We will definitely use Jenifer again in the future.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Winnie received. It was her very first time staying at someone else’s home for several days in a row, and she was welcomed with so much warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease while being out of state, knowing she was in such good hands. Winnie was treated like family, and I could tell she was comfortable, happy, and well loved the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”
“Ellen took terrific care of our old girl! She went above and beyond helping her get through a few health/diet issues that came up during the stay. Very responsive and helpful updates throughout the stay. Would recommend Ellen to anyone looking to board!”
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
“Gracie had an amazing stay with Joanne (& her family!) I enjoyed the communications and pictures during Gracie’s time in their home. Gracie enjoyed playtime with the kids and with the resident dog, Olivia. She had her kennel available, but enjoyed cuddles with their teenage son and quickly made herself a part of the family. I will certainly consider booking for future stays, and recommend Joanne to others!”
“Heather was communicative and very accommodating, even making the time to pick up our Teddy from our wedding venue after his role in the wedding. Teddy had a great time and was so happy to stay with her!”
“Maura was wonderful. She cared for my pup for three days and was attentive and caring. She gives updates throughout the day. Maura has three dogs of her own and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals.”
“David was really good with the dogs. Our dogs quickly ‘adopted’ their new Humans and appeared quite happy throughout their visit. David has a nice palace for the dogs to run and play. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with David in the future.”
“Brooke and Robbie were fantastic with my pugs! They are so kind and sent lots of pics/videos during their stay. Brooke and Robbie administered their meds, took lots of walks, and gave my pugs all the snuggles! They truly love caring for pups, and I would definitely have my pugs stay with them again!”
“Mikaela and Shane are AMAZING!!!! They took such great care of our Maisy while we were away for 5 nights!! Communication was great and prompt, our meet and greet went great and they knew we were a little nervous leaving our girl with a new family so they sent pictures and updates daily that really helped ease my worried mama mind. Maisy warmed up fast and we had no issues at all! Will definitely be using them again for our future dog sitting needs! Thanks so much Mikaela and Shane!!!”
“Maria and Nayibe have a beautiful home and backyard that was the perfect spot for our pup! They were kind, warm, and provided a loving and safe home for him. He came home super tired and clearly enjoyed himself. We highly recommend them!”
“Great to work with! Helped me out in a pinch with my 3 dogs which can be quite a handful at times, but she welcomed them right in to her home for the weekend and they had a great time, even slept in bed all together with her! Sent pictures and video and kept in constant communication. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Rebecca!!”
“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”
“I highly recommend Kaitlyn!! I have 2 big boys 1 is a Doberman and the other is a golden mix. They fight if their in the same room. So was going to have Kaitlyn watch just one of them. When I went to do a meet and greet with my golden. We got to talking and she said she would be willing to take both. She was amazing! I didnt have to worry all weekend long about them because she would send me updates with happy pictures every day. They always looked so happy with all the walks and belly rubs. Highly recommend! I will definitely be going back to her and dropping my other doggie daycare even with a 15 minute extra drive.”

“Brenna was amazing. My shy and cautious cat accepted her right away. She went above and beyond my expectations, and I highly recommend her. She was communicative and punctual. She provided pictures and updates and even took care of my plants!”
About: I’m a disabled veteran & dogs have always been my peace so i decided to start incorporating more of them into my daily life & call it “work” 🥰 pet-loving is part of my every day life! i take my own pups for walks in the morning before the heat, and during the warmest days of winter. i love being outside, playing with animals & taking care of them! i will use the app, frequent communications in texting, etc. along with pictures and videos to send to all my pet parents! walking the pups at least a mile, if they can, or more if requested! i also walk all my clients separately from others, so no need to worry about differing personalities.

“Susana took wonderful care of our buddies while we were away. We appreciate her professionalism, commitment and communication. We Thank You for being their special friend while we were away.”
“Anna T. was absolutely wonderful ❤️ She was so kind to all of us. She was immediately able to connect with our ginger 3 year old boy. Updates were prompt and detailed. She proactively asked great questions at our intro meeting.”
“We were so fortunate to have Hayley as our pet sitter! We had many concerns about leaving our pets and needed help. She was amazing! She is knowledgeable, compassionate and handled our old high need dogs with confidence. It all went so well!”
“Great communication! Sent pics and explanations of them. As a first time boarder, I had no real idea what to expect. Actually, I had a huge variety of things to fear lol. The daily photos and little update quips ("she loves the rocker by the window"), etc) salved my fretting immensely. Then, when I was involved in a horrible motor vehicle accident during the boarding, she was amazing with her willingness to aduust times ariubd her wirk schedule and when I could arrange transportation back home. This Rover provider is a 6 out of 5 star awesome-sauce experience. Don't pass her up!”
“Tara is a wonderful, engaged, and considerate sitter. I have never seen my nervous dog relax with anyone the way he did with Tara. She kept me updated with notes and photos while I was gone and I came home to a happy puppy. I would definitely recommend Tara to anyone with a skittish dog!”
“We were so happy to find a petsitter with cat experience on a holiday weekend. Bella agreed to house & pet sit for us and she went out of her way to spend extra time with our two housecats for two daily visits, and was even able to spend two nights in spite of her busy schedule. The cats warmed up to her and she reported having bed-buddies for the nights she stayed over. I was pleased that she heeded my request to contact us about anything, big or small. Thank you Bella, for watching our kitties & household!!”
“Deedee is wonderful! Our cat is usually very shy and hides but she came out and got her meds and treats. I had no worries with Deedee taking care of our girl and highly recommend her services!!!!”
“Ramsey did an excellent job caring for my two cats. I’d trust them with her any time. Came home to find littler boxes and food bowls clean. I can tell she played with the cats during the drop in visits. Thanks, Ramsey!”
“Tori provided drop-in care for our two cats over a period of three days while we traveled. The cats were well taken care of and she provided photo updates. Tori is reliable and friendly and the cats have a new bestie in their circle of friends!”
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally for me. I currently own a cat of my own, finnigan, and he means the absolute world to me. Because I know how much pets are part of the family, I treat every cat with the same patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing and respecting each cats unique personality. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and keep you updated with photos and messages so that you can have peace of mind.
“I would recommend Katie 1000 times over!!! She provides me with photos, updates and any questions or concerns she may have while with my pup. My husband and I both started new jobs which have turned into very lengthy days away from home. Stella, my German Spitz, would be home alone for 12 hours. She doesn’t play well with others dog so day care was not an option. I decided to look into Rover. I found Katie, After our meet and greet We all decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did. She provides me peace of mind that my little girl is getting a visit by someone who is as compassionate about dogs as I am. If you need someone to walk your dogs or simply just drop in…. She is your GAL!”
About: I am an experienced Certified Veterinary Technician with 20 years experience - general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine! I currently foster kittens and adult cats with medical issues for our local humane society. I am able to give and help with a variety of medications if your pet needs them.
About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!

“We needed someone at the last minute for two days of daycare while we were on the road. Maura and her husband were wonderful! Their love for dogs really show through in their personalities. They had other dogs during Gus's stay and he came back to us pooped out from all the fun he had. if we lived in the area, we would definitely have Gus visit Maura again!”
“We had a last minute booking that they were able to accommodate. Great communication before and during stay. We loved getting pics and video, too! Boone well loved and comfortable during his stay. Came home a very happy guy.”
“Sarah took my dog, Ida, at the least minute for daycare this week. I received regular updates and photos, and my mind was at ease the entire time. Ida had a great time with Sarah, her husband, and her dog! They made sure she got outside every few hours and kept track of how much she ate and used the potty the whole time. They were very conscious of her allergies as well. I will definitely book again!”
About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I love to walk and play with them and also have snuggle time if they like that. My schedule is flexible to accommodate their needs! I have not done injections but am willing to do if trained I’m retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home or come to your home for check-ins and walks. I have a fenced yard and am close to a local state park for long walks. I also live in a very walkable subdivision. I don’t mind a well behaved pet on furniture.
About: Caring for others (especially animals) is truly my passion! I was a nanny for over 5 years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. Hi there! Just a little bit about me! Caring for others (especially animals) is genuinely my passion! I was a nanny for over four years which opened me up to pet care as well. Since most families I worked for had pets, I took on the responsibility of caring for them as well as their children. I do not work outside of the home which means I can dedicate all of my time to your pet! I usually take one booking at a time, so if your pet doesn’t get along with other pets that’s no problem.
“Sarah was very friendly on drop off, I knew my dog was in good hands. Based on the pictures she sent he had a lot of fun playing out with the hose and her dogs! She had good communication and I would recommend her!”
About: My family and I truly enjoy watching other family’s animals. It allows us to help families not worry about their pets when they are not able to take care of them. I’m a full time teacher, so I have quite a bit of flexibilities during the summer time. I am available to board during the school year as well. I am available after 3:30 to tend to animals during the school year. I have a fenced in back yard and take our own dog for a walk daily. We have one dog, 2 cats, and one hamster. They are all very friendly.
“Just like everyone else, Teddy and I love her! Great home away from home for your fur baby. ? We’ll be coming back over and over again. I’m pretty sure he would’ve been happy to move right in with her permanently ❤️”
About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
“My dog had a great time staying at Tina and Cameron's for a fun-filled day of daycare. She enjoyed two walks, got to run around in their large fenced in backyard, and was able to socialize with their two dogs! Tina was so sweet and I felt really comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. You can tell right away that her and Cameron are extremely knowledgeable and have a lot of experience in caring for dogs. My dog came home very happy and ready for a nap - perfect! :) Definitely will be a repeating customer!”
“Molly takes the best care of my pup! She provides updates and gives him so much attention, he always comes home exhausted! She is excellent and I highly recommend for anyone needing boarding or daycare!”
About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
“Our Ruby spent the day with Carrie and her family recently. Ruby is 13 and not as active as she used to be, but she loves being around families and enjoys playtime with other dogs. She did very well and was well cared for. I am sure we will contact Carrie again to be Ruby’s sitter.”
“Mochi loved his second daycare day. Maria and Nayibe provide the best of both worlds—lots of new doggy friends to play with in a comfortable and caring home environment. He will be back regularly! 😊”
About: I’ve been raised around dogs since birth. I have free time a few times a week. I’m looking forward to help you care for your pups. Looking to take up some of my spare time and help you with your pets. I have availability during the day several days a week. I have experience taking care of pets my entire life. I can easily meet your pets needs. I look forward to meeting different breeds and making you less stressed.

“Susana was hired to be our dogsitter/walker during our daughter's wedding at a campground in East Troy, WI. She was asked to attend the wedding and help us with our Great Dane Molli who was part of the wedding party. Susana came out to us and stay by Molli's side for the time that we wanted to socialize with family and friends and eat dinner at the reception. Molli seemed to really like Susana and was super comfortable with her immediately. We will definitely consider having Susana help us with Molli next time we are staying in the East Troy/Lake Geneva area.”

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a teacher with summers off and a lifelong animal lover. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or dropin visits, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱💕 During July, I teach summer school, so I’m available anytime after 12 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. In August, my schedule becomes much more flexible, allowing for additional daytime availability. Once the school year begins, I’ll primarily be available on weekends and for evening/late-night care. As a teacher and animal lover, I enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I treat every pet like my own! I maintain routines, provide loving care, and create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their families are away.
“Katie is wonderful! She met Dobby and he loved her. I could tell she was a doggy person right away! She took great care of my fur baby, sent pics, updates, and was very flexible with her schedule. I will be using Katie again and again for our pups walks.”
About: I have helped take care of animals ever since I was 5. Over the years, I have dog sat for friends and neighbors along with providing support when needed. I have never not had a pet and have always made sure to do my research to ensure I am treating any pet in the best way possible along with ensuring what is and isn’t safe for different animals. I have many friends that come to me first when they need help, especially with their animals. Many of my friends have called me a dog whisperer. I currently work full time from home as an accountant. I tend to be home most weekends and my hours make it very easy to fit any animal into my schedule. I have 2 rabbit currently at my home and my neighbors have a dog, cats, and chickens. I would always make sure that the animal is supervised as I know how important a pet is and the responsibility necessary to ensure it stays safe. I did recently have a baby as well that would be joining me most of the time. I work from home full time and recently had a baby that I take care of full time too. As long as animals are comfortable with a baby, I am always happy to help out. I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for pets in my home or my client’s home by following their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and medication if needed. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and comfort. I also monitor their behavior closely and keep owners updated for peace of mind.
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and have often been called a “Deaf Dog Whisperer” throughout my life — a title I happily agree with. I currently have three dogs, including two Deaf dogs and a Deaf Dogo Argentino. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes and Mastiffs, including high-energy, Deaf, and special-needs dogs. Being Deaf has strengthened my bond with dogs because we’ve learned to communicate without relying on spoken words. I naturally pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and the little ways they communicate with me. I’ve always had an easy time connecting with dogs and understanding what they need to feel comfortable, safe, and understood. I work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day, especially during house sitting. I’m comfortable with different routines, dogs in diapers, baths, basic nail trims, and keeping dogs mentally engaged with puzzles, chews, sniffing, and play. I’m also happy to offer treats with your approval or take your dog for a car ride if they find it relaxing. I follow care instructions closely and often go the extra mile — something my customers and reviews have complimented me on. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own, making sure it’s left the way I found it, or even a little cleaner. Your dog’s routine, preferences, and care instructions are important to me.
About: I am an animal lover. Always have been. I grew up on a farm and have worked on a couple as well. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, goats, cattle, pigs, sheep, even ferrets, raccoons and squirrels. Have always had multiple pets while growing up and currently have my 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've always enjoyed caring for animals. Brings me great joy and have always wanted to make it some kind of job. They bring a calming peace to me and I feel like I connect with all animals and that's why we get along so well. I am currently working full time in Madison at a doggy daycare and work at 3 different facilities. I have gained lots of experience with working with puppies all the way up to elderly dogs and all sorts of breeds. You won't be disappointed in choosing me to care for your family members. Thank you for your time checking out my profile and considering me. I work full time at a doggy daycare but am available before or after my shifts during the week and free on most weekends. I am pretty flexible. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are great company. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates if your dog would need one as well.

I owned a pet sitting business for 5 years (2008 - 2012) and experience in general practice, emergency, specialty, and shelter medicine. Having a medical background allows me to pick up on medical issues and emergencies in a timely fashion, allowing for treatment if necessary. I am also able to administer medications as needed. I treat others' dogs the same way I treat my own pets and keep daily routines as close to their normal as much as possible. I work full time at a clinic and part time at the local humane society. I am available limited days during the week for walks and drop in services. Please see the calendar for up to date availability! I discuss your pets routine with you so I can keep it the same as possible during my visits. This helps keep your pet's schedule uninterrupted and allows for calmer and happier experiences!
About: I have a rescue dog so I have a lot of patients! I’ve always loved animals and I’m working towards volunteering for a foster company! I am working part time so I have a lot of time on my hands to help take care of others pets! I will be able to spend a lot of quality time with your pup! I have a crate if needed for your dog. I do have a fenced in backyard that has multiple toys for dogs. If I come to your house I will follow any rule you have for animals and people in your home.

“Highly recommend! Heather put my mind at ease while away from my fur baby. She sent daily updates/photos to assure me all was well with my pup. Heather worked with my dog on some behavioral issues as well! She treated my dog as one of her own, truly happy with how the extended overnight stay went; hope to use her again and again in the future”
“Scott and family were amazing! I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Dixie was in good hands. Scott sent pictures frequently and I loved getting them. Dixie looked so happy and content. In fact when I picked her up to go home she cried half the way home! LOL I think she was missing them I am blessed to have found this family to care for my furbaby when I am gone.”
“Kylie was amazing with my puppy Goose. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated. She also taught him a couple tricks and continued with his crate training. Appreciate how well she took care of my pup. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time our dog stayed with a sitter and we had a wonderful experience. Jenifer did an excellent job caring for Ellie and seemed attentive to her needs. It is difficult to leave your pet for a week, but also reassuring to know they are in good hands while you are gone. We will definitely use Jenifer again in the future.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Winnie received. It was her very first time staying at someone else’s home for several days in a row, and she was welcomed with so much warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease while being out of state, knowing she was in such good hands. Winnie was treated like family, and I could tell she was comfortable, happy, and well loved the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. I will absolutely be booking again!”
“Great communication from initial contact until pick up. Appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Biscuit had a great "staycation" over the weekend. We will use Anna for our dog sitting needs again.”
“Ellen took terrific care of our old girl! She went above and beyond helping her get through a few health/diet issues that came up during the stay. Very responsive and helpful updates throughout the stay. Would recommend Ellen to anyone looking to board!”
“Madison and Jeff were very easy to communicate with and kept us advised of all of Roscoe’s activities with texts and pictures . Their boys were very good playmates and kept Roscoe very busy. At night the boys setup “camp” in the living room and slept with Roscoe. Awesome Family!”
“Gracie had an amazing stay with Joanne (& her family!) I enjoyed the communications and pictures during Gracie’s time in their home. Gracie enjoyed playtime with the kids and with the resident dog, Olivia. She had her kennel available, but enjoyed cuddles with their teenage son and quickly made herself a part of the family. I will certainly consider booking for future stays, and recommend Joanne to others!”
“Maura was wonderful. She cared for my pup for three days and was attentive and caring. She gives updates throughout the day. Maura has three dogs of her own and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals.”
“David was really good with the dogs. Our dogs quickly ‘adopted’ their new Humans and appeared quite happy throughout their visit. David has a nice palace for the dogs to run and play. We will not hesitate to board our dogs with David in the future.”
“Brooke and Robbie were fantastic with my pugs! They are so kind and sent lots of pics/videos during their stay. Brooke and Robbie administered their meds, took lots of walks, and gave my pugs all the snuggles! They truly love caring for pups, and I would definitely have my pugs stay with them again!”
“Mikaela and Shane are AMAZING!!!! They took such great care of our Maisy while we were away for 5 nights!! Communication was great and prompt, our meet and greet went great and they knew we were a little nervous leaving our girl with a new family so they sent pictures and updates daily that really helped ease my worried mama mind. Maisy warmed up fast and we had no issues at all! Will definitely be using them again for our future dog sitting needs! Thanks so much Mikaela and Shane!!!”
“Great to work with! Helped me out in a pinch with my 3 dogs which can be quite a handful at times, but she welcomed them right in to her home for the weekend and they had a great time, even slept in bed all together with her! Sent pictures and video and kept in constant communication. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks Rebecca!!”
“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”
“I highly recommend Kaitlyn!! I have 2 big boys 1 is a Doberman and the other is a golden mix. They fight if their in the same room. So was going to have Kaitlyn watch just one of them. When I went to do a meet and greet with my golden. We got to talking and she said she would be willing to take both. She was amazing! I didnt have to worry all weekend long about them because she would send me updates with happy pictures every day. They always looked so happy with all the walks and belly rubs. Highly recommend! I will definitely be going back to her and dropping my other doggie daycare even with a 15 minute extra drive.”
“Dina was amazing with our two fur kids! She really took great care of them and sent us updates, pictures and videos of them having fun. We could tell they felt right at home! Definitely recommend her to take care of your fur kids and we will want her to take care of our kids when we travel again. Thanks Dina!!?”
“One word: AMAZING! Updates and photos multiple times a day and incredible response time. This was the first time leaving my two dogs with anyone away from home and after working with Angie I would not hesitate to have them stay with her again. There was never a worry or a concern. Thank you, Angie!”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
