Decuan is amazing dog sitter whom I highly recommend to anybody looking for someone to trust with their fur baby. He keeps in contact the whole time throughout the boarding process. I’ve used him a couple times now and my Charley cries when we drive away from his apartment building. Decuan is the best and you should really think about using him to take care of your dog.

Jessica cared for my nearly 13 year old Yorkie, Mattie, for 3 days. She is amazing! I was so worried about leaving my pup, I almost didn’t attend a family wedding. I’ve refused many invitations that would keep me away from him. Once we met this sweet, loving person and saw her beautiful, incredible home that’s totally equipped to manage dogs, I was confident Mattie would be fine and he definitely was! My dog hadn’t been away from home or me in over 5 years. He isn’t easy to watch. He’s like a little old man—set in his ways. Jessica sent daily pics and immediately responded to my texts checking on him. She got him to eat! And most importantly, she kept him safe. My baby came home well cared for and happy. I’m grateful to Jessica and her family for having him. I can’t give enough praise. As long as Jessica can watch Mattie, I’ll never turn down another invitation! Thank you very much from Matt and me.

I am unable to express the gratitude for the care and love Teriana gave me little Scarlett. This was the first time I have had to leave Scarlett and it was stressful. Teriana sent me everyday updates, complete with pictures of my darling. I highly recommend this sitter. She has a passion for what she does. Thank you.

Tina was wonderful with my shy, little Marti who isn't accustomed to lots of activity and other pets. My Cavachon came out of his shell and learned to get along with other animals (dogs and cats) and gave me peace of mind during my 1 week vacation. Tina loves animals and it shows!!

About: I always had dogs and I know the care and love that should be given to them, even more so when they only offer love and sincere company. Currently I am a housewife, I am always at home with my 1 and a half year old daughter who loves pets. She is very loving just like my husband and I. I will make sure that your pet feels at home, it will receive a lot of love and attention, making you as the owner feel happy, satisfied and leave me your beloved pet again

Diana was simply wonderful with my dog. This was my first booking after moving to a new area and I am always nervous when trying someone new. Right away Diana was very responsive and at the meet and greet was incredibly friendly and made me feel at ease. I received several photos and updates each day and she would ask me questions when she wasn't sure about something. I would highly recommend Diana and I will be a repeat customer of hers!

I can't say enough about how wonderful Kathleen and her family were with our dog Maci. Maci is 11 years old and very anxious. My husband works from home so she is always with family and very attached. We were worried about leaving her with someone she did not know. We met Kathleen and her family before our trip and they were extremely nice and easy to talk with. They immediately bonded with Maci and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog, who is like our child, with them. During our trip Kathleen sent pictures and kept us updated as to how Maci was doing. It was a huge relief. I have never used Rover or a pet sitter site before but can now rave about how easy and great it was. I highly recommend Kathleen with the care of your pet and I will surely use her services again!

Kim and her husband, Dan, took excellent care of my Samoyed, Bella. They took her took a dog park where she could socialize with other dogs and get exercise. Their dog, Luna, is a sweetheart and got along great with Bella. I would recommend Kim for your pet and I am planning to use her again.

When i came to pick up Whesker, he didn't know if he wanted to come home with me or stay with Svetlana. If that's not a sign of a great puppy sitter, i dont know what is ?

I highly recommend Hanna, she was an amazing caretaker for my 14 year old Yorkie. This was my first time utilizing this service and she made it exceptionally easy through constant communication. I received a video of my little one during her stay, which was awesome. My Yorkie was definitely in good hands for her overnight stay and the next time I decide to travel Hanna will be my first choice.

Nina has been a nurturer and caretaker since she was a young lady. I have trusted Nina with house and dog sitting for me when she was a teen, she watched by 2 sons regularly also in those years. As an adult, I have hired Nina to provide pet, house, and child care while we were away on a trip. Nina has invested time, effort, and energy into learning about animals - she had a part time position at a veterinary clinic as youth. She understands the pack mentality of dogs and is fantastic at being calm and consistent with structure and guidance. Nina is observant and responds appropriately to behaviors being exhibited by an animal. Nina is trustworthy and competent. Your pets will be exceptionally well cared for under her supervision.
