Our first experience with our dachshund Gertrude has been tremendously successful. Gertrude was well cared for and happy ... Kristin's little "shadow" for a week. We look forward to an upcoming stay scheduled for August. We are happy to give Kristin glowing recommendation!

About: I began dog walking for my neighbors at 8 years old and helped take care of my family’s french bulldog throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Given her high care needs, I have experience in caring for senior dogs and am able to give them medication. I have pets-sat for families with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Growing up I also had a hamster and guinea pigs of my own! I love doing the “Doggy Day Out” at my local shelter where I get to care for a shelter dog for the day and would love to give your furry friend that same experience. I’m currently working a part-time job and am a full time college student. During the school year, I have classes Mon-Thurs in the morning and for the summer I am completely available to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and would love to care for your pup! I will take them for a walk and play with them, treating them as if they are my own dogs.

Joshua B. was absolutely amazing with Lobo! From the moment we connected, his communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. He treated Lobo like his own, and it was obvious our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during the stay. We loved receiving updates and knowing Lobo was in such good hands. Joshua is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the pets he watches. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!

Hermun is always so sweet and kind with our dog and he loves going to her house. She is so professional, responsive, and so knowledgeable about dogs. The first time he stayed at her house he got sick and she handled it so well and with such compassion. We were so worried taking him somewhere he was unfamiliar initially, but she made him feel so at home and her dog Max has such a calm energy that helped him as well. We feel lucky to have found her.

They are the best! They did a great job of exercising our chocolate lab every day, throwing him the ball, taking him on walks, feeding him on schedule, and monitoring his health. They have a big yard for him to exercise and you can tell sitters watching him put a lot of effort into caring for our pup. They are also very nice and responsive

I was very pleased with Haley's care of Mika. When I left her, she was having a bout of collapsed trachea and coughing a lot, so I was a bit worried. Haley administered her medicine, and she hasn't coughed once since I brought her home. Besides that, Haley was very business-like about the details of having Mika and her stuff ready at the time I was to pick her up. I especially appreciated the photos and updates.

Shayna took excellent care of my dog, Arya. I felt very confident leaving my precious pup in her beautiful home under her care. Drop off and pick up were super easy - Shayna is someone who is friendly, kind and easy to work with! She sent photos each day I was gone and that made me happy to see Arya having a great time. Shayna and her family are the best of Rover and I look forward to having her care for Arya again.

We had a wonderful experience! They’re incredibly kind, caring, and flexible — which made the whole process so easy and stress-free. We felt completely at ease leaving Jax, in their care. He was so happy to be with them, and we could tell he felt right at home! We also really appreciated the updates and knowing he was getting lots of love and attention. It means so much to have neighbors we can trust with our dog. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

I have an overly affectionate Bernedoodle that could easily be too much for some people but Emily was so good with her. She gave me regular updates and even some solid feedback about how we might make overnights go even smoother. Our dogs are like our children so it’s important to find someone that you trust. I highly suggest you consider Emily for your dogs care
