“Thomas was a great host for my big boy Koba! Thomas sent us updates and pictures durning his stay. We knew Koba was enjoying himself testing out the different beds, bones, toys and exploring his fenced in yard. He had a great staycation and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him Thomas again.”
“Lisa was such a lovely host to our dogs. She would send us updates and was very accommodating with our pickup and drop off needs. We will definitely be going back to her in the future.”
“Kaitlyn was so easy to communicate with and took such great care of my pup! She sent pictures and checked in over the weekend. Will be rebooking in the future! Thanks Kaitlyn! 😊”
“Megan was fabulous with our dogs!!! She and her family were so welcoming to us, and they really enjoyed their stay! We received many photos, and we were so relaxed on our vacation knowing they our fur babies were in such good, loving hands!! 🩷”
“I apologize for taking so long to post this review but this email went to my spam folder and I just saw it as I was cleaning out my spam folder, It was my first time leaving my dog and I was worried but she treated my Nugget like family. Nugget came back from her stay there happy and healthy and I was so relieved. I would definitely recommend Christine to anyone who may be worried about leaving their dog when they're away, Nugget particularly enjoyed being with her children as she is very happy with kids. Thanks, Christine.”
“Very pleased with the care Nacho and Biscuit were given while under Jackie's watch. They got along with her beagles, she sent pics and kept me posted. Will be using again very soon. Highly recommend. 😊”

“Patricia is Fantastic!!!! She watched Gio who is 10 now.. a couple times and he loves being with her. She gave him so much love and cuddles! She sent a lot of pics of Gio while I was away and I was gone for 11 days. I love when she watches Gio because I know he’s taken very good care of. I would recommend Patricia every time!”
About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!
“Ricky’s second time with Alba and she is amazing. Always feel so relaxed while he is there knowing he is in good hands. So many cute photos sent of him while we were away. She is VERY accommodating as well. ♥️”
“This was our first time using Matt for an overnight for our dog Gino. Gino had the absolute best time! Not only did Matt send us updates and pics which made us feel so comfortable and happy knowing he was having fun, Gino loved Matt’s dogs Jax and Henry. (And so do we!) We are so lucky to have found Matt! Thank you for taking such good care of Gino! See you next week!”
About: I've grown up with pets and have lived with them most of my life. Recently I adopted my 1.5 year old corgi, Aspen. We love to explore together and enjoy our evening walks on the beach. Aspen is very easy-going and always welcomes the opportunity to make new friends. We'd love to help care for your fur-baby! I currently work from home Thursdays, Fridays and am available to pet sit on those days. I am also available on weekends as well. If you're in need of a last-minute sitter or walker, I am here to help! My corgi and I will keep your fur-baby company during the day and night. My home is puppy proof, where they can comfortably spend their time playing and relaxing. Safety with mine and other pets is my number one priority and I will directly supervise your pet and/or keep them leashed at all-times when outdoors.
“I'm extremely grateful to have found Lauren. And Fidget sure is too! This was my first time using Rover for a pet sitter, and from the moment we met Lauren at her house for the meet and greet, any apprehension about leaving my pup started to vanish. Lauren and her family are warm, pet loving people and Fidget felt right at home. She was free to roam their large, fenced in yard, and Lauren's boys played with Fidge for as long as her furry heart desired. Lauren covered all the important details to keep Fidget's normal eating and activity schedule. I was especially comforted to receive all the photos and videos Lauren sent me while I was away. Bottom line: if you need a pet sitter for your furry friend, look no further. They'll receive so much love and attention at Lauren's household. I believe a tired dog is a happy dog, and Fidget can attest to that!”
“Maya had such a great time during her weekend vacation with Suzanne! We were sent plenty of photos throughout her stay and it was clear she was enjoying her time there. Like most owners on here it's tough to leave our dogs with others but Suzanne could not have been any better. There was plenty of play time and a lot of care and attention given to her. Her poodle Lola was also very sweet and they got along really well. We will 100% book her again next time we need someone to look after Maya while we're away!”
“Luz, and her family, are exceptional. I will be requesting her every time we need a sitter for my dog. She was attentive and affectionate. My dog Maggie is rarely without us because the few times we have left her with others she gets very depressed. For the first time ever Maggie was actually missing her sitter. She laid by the door when we got home waiting for , what we now call, her other family. She was made to feel at home. I highly recommend Luz to anyone who has a furry family member that they want to ensure is safe, secure, and happy.”
“Crystal took exception care of Bailer wile we were away for 10 days. She sent pictures on a regular basic and kept us updated on how he was doing! I will defiantly be using Crystal again when we go away.”

“Kim would be a wonderful pet caretaker. She has been around animals all of her life. Growing up she helped to take care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens and rabbits. She always showed love and care to each animal. The animals in return showed her the love and kindness she had given them. She has taken care of my cats and dogs when I have been away. She is very trustworthy and I feel at ease when she is taking care of them. Sincerely, Susan M”
