Odessa took very good care of our dog! She sent updates and photos throughout the time that she had him. Our little guy really bonded with her during his stay and we could tell right away that she cared for him really well. We are so grateful for the care and love that he received from her. We will not hesitate to book with Odessa again!

We had a great experience with Shipra! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared a lot about our dog. We received regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Toby looked happy, well-fed, and comfortable when we returned. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Shipra made the whole process smooth and stress free. We would definitely recommend Shipra and will be booking again!

Kelly was amazing! She took such good care of my dog and kept him entertained and active the entire time. You can tell she is an animal lover and really treats your pet like part of her family. My dog was sad to leave! Loved the frequent photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.

Meghan, thank you for taking great care of Roxy. After I met you, I could see that I was leaving her I good hands and that she would be safe while we were away from her. She look very happy in all those cute pictures updates you sent…and we looked forward to getting new ones each day. And thank you for the gift you sent home with her. That was so sweet of you. I am sure she will enjoy playing with it and remember you. I will certainly keep your contact information handy for any future boarding needs for Roxy.

Brandi was an excellent pet sitter. Responsive and kind. We had a very last minute request which she accepted after a successful Meet and Greet. It was nice having only 2 other dogs in the house which made it less overwhelming for our fur baby. Our dog can also become anxious when not around people, so the fact that she allowed Jasmine to stay in her bedroom at night was very helpful. We will definitely trust Brandi again with the care of Jasmine.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.

Lidia rescued my cat from another sitter/bad situation. Knowing that my cat had been traumatized, she was very sensitive to my cat’s needs, was kind, gentle, and also kept me in constant touch and with as many pictures and updates as I needed to feel my cat was safe. 12/10 - Lidia is amazing ❤️

She sent updates and pictures throughout my trip, and I could tell my dog was happy and healthy when I got back. Her dog Karma was also so sweet and gentle with my dog. Definitely will use Kyra’s services in the future if needed!

Janine was able to keep my Denim in very short notice. She had other dogs there for him to play with as well. She sent pictures while she had him. When I picked him up, he was calm unlike when I leave him at other places. I definitely recommend and would leave him there again if I am every in town.

Leah & Jada made Butters feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved from the start. They were generous with updates and incredibly transparent throughout his stay, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Butters settled in immediately and truly seemed at home. It was clear he was in great hands, and their thoughtful, attentive care meant so much. Highly recommend!

I couldn’t have asked for better care for Asha! They were kind, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I received updates and could tell Asha was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear they truly love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely trust them with Asha again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby!

After a year of not being able to secure or locate a Rover sitter I felt comfortable with, I settled on Ginnie and Steve after a very cool meet and greet! I immediately noticed my pups were getting cozy and social in their yard! Fast forward-My three pups had an amazing time at Ginnie and Steve's home. The hosts were responsive, Ginnie noticed signs of anxiety in one of my pups due to fireworks and ensured she (one of my pups) was taken care of and they also helped my pups get more comfortable throughout the visit when they were not eating. We have already rebooked and we are looking forward to the next visit! Thank you Ginnie and Steve so much!

Sean was great a fit for boarding my two girls Xena & Rogue! I went away for 10 days, they both got multiple daily trail walks, a quiet neighborhood, and a great living space on his ground floor. Sean would give a daily update most days with 1-2 photos so I could see they both looked well. I returned to two happy, healthy pups that seemed content being in Sean's home. Thank you Sean!

P1 definitely had a great time, and we really appreciate the care you gave him. One small thing we noticed afterward was that all the food we prepared was gone, which ended up being a bit more than his usual amount. He had a couple more bowel movements than normal, so we think he may have been slightly overfed. Just wanted to mention this for future reference. Thank you again!

Brandi and her family took great care of our dog Milo for a short Christmas stay. It was just his first time there but her Rover reviews were very favorable so we felt good about leaving him. Brandi sent photos and videos of Milo playing and it was obvious that they made Milo feel very comfortable, just like part of the family. We will definitely use Brandi again!
