Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!

Kristin and her family were great! Our large dog Sumo had a fantastic time and was taken care of with love by Kristin. She made everything very easy for us and was flexible with the pick up time as our travels extended a bit. We will happily be rebooking in the future!

Kelly has been fantastic! My pup Toshi has stayed with her a couple of nights and she has been so accommodating! She has sent me photos and updates which definitely puts me at ease. She has a large yard and her cute pup Khloe also keeps my dog company. You could tell she loves animals! I cannot recommend her enough, and I will always try and reach out if I need to book another stay for my pup. Thank you, Kelly!

Jennifer was great! She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had some unexpected problems adjusting to being away from us for an extended period of time and she was very understanding and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving sitter.

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.

Max has such a fun time with Priscilla and Millie! He gets to play with familiar and new friends and also have chill time when they're tired. Priscilla sends daily updates and pictures which are nice to have when I'm away to know my pup is doing well and what he's up to. Max is always so excited to visit them, and very tired once he comes home :)

Mckayla made my Rover experience such a breeze! I left my dog Lucy with her for almost three weeks and she was excellent at keeping me informed, communicating before, during and after pick up. She regularly sent me photos and updates of my Lucy during this time which really put me at ease while being away for so long. I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and looking forward to booking her again next time I'm out of town. Thank you so much Mckayla for taking such good care of Lucy! ❤️

Van took great care of Mav during his stay. Response time was very quick and communication was clear. I received updates throughout his visit with plenty of pictures and videos. Mr. Mav got a nice long walk, playtime in a secure yard, grooming, and plenty of supervision and attention. They paid attention to his behavior and needs, including managing minor reactivity appropriately on walks. Mav came home happy, well cared for, and settled, and I would feel comfortable booking with Van again.

Dylan was a true God send in accepting my last minute booking. So flexible and understanding during the entire stay. My pup normally won’t eat for anyone when I’m away and she ate full bowls of food both nights so I know she was having the best time! His pups are so friendly and Dylan is attentive, caring and kind to all the dogs. He sent me videos and pictures of Patch while I was away and kept me updated without any prompting. Very appreciative to find such a great sitter on short notice.
