Allison stayed with our 3 Golden Retrievers (two puppies & a 13yr old) for 5 nights. She was so great with the dogs and we really appreciated the communication with us while we were away. The care she provided our pups while taking care of the house as well was so appreciated (bringing in mail/packages, having house clean when we got home, ect). We will definitely use Allison again!

Anthony and Mackenzie were great! We loved getting all the photos and videos of our pups enjoying their sleepover with their new friends and the pups really seemed to enjoy their weekend. They are so relaxed and exhausted that we know they had a great time. Would definitely use these guys again!

Great job by Yasmin. Cyrus the dog got to run in the yard and play tug, and Frank the cat was safely fed in the privacy of his bedroom. Well done and we appreciate Yasmin's pet care.

About: I am a stay at home mom with three children who LOVE dogs. We provide a safe, comforting environment for any pup that stays with us. We love a couch potato who wants to snuggle up with the family after a day of playing in the backyard. We have two Cavachons, Reggie (13) and Duncan (12), they are our old men. We also have our big man, Goose, a 100lb German shepherd. He is the best with dogs and people of all shapes and sizes, truly a gentle giant. We also have a cat, Peaches. She is very social and doesn’t scare easily. As long as your dog doesn’t try to eat her, they will get along great! Most of my clients are repeat clients, our house is already pretty full, so we never have more than one or two guests at a time. I also frequently book off of the Rover app, and try my best to keep my availability here as accurate at possible. It doesn’t feel like you’re dropping your pups off at the dog sitters when you bring them here, it’s more like their home away from home! I please ask that you KNOW your animals are friendly with children before requesting a booking. We want everyone to have a positive experience, and we would prefer our house not be your pets first time interacting with kids. Thank you for understanding! :) I am a stay at home mom with an infant and a toddler. If your pup likes walks (and doesn’t mind walking next to a stroller), they’ll get a walk a couple times a day! I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your pup company during the day. You are welcome to bring a crate, dog bed, whatever they need to feel most at home.

About: I prefer to dog sit in my own home or offer drop in service as I have dogs of my own at home. I know how important it is to feel comfortable knowing your pet is well loved and cared for while you're away from home and to be able to have that peace of mind. My baby (4 y/o spayed female) gets along well with any size/breed of dog and would LOVE to make new friends! Let me help you put your mind at ease and love on your 4 legged friend or friends. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! 💞 I work from home so I am present all day, not usually gone for more than a couple hours in the evening if at all. At home, I am present all day for bathroom breaks and playtime (or sun naps) in the fenced backyard. I do not force my dog to stay off furniture or out of the bed but can easily crate your baby if needed/required. My dog is crate trained but free roams while I'm away unless I'm dog sitting where crating is needed. In your home, I'll do as asked. I prefer to spend some play time with them rather than just potty and leave where possible to make sure they are getting exercise and attention while you're away.

About: Are you looking for a more personal dog sitting experience rather than kennel? I will keep to your dog's routine with feeding schedules and outside breaks. I have two of my own spoiled dogs and a well behaved 12 year old son. We live in a few acres with a large privacy fenced backyard with plenty of room to play! I can give your pet lots of love and attention, and outside play time! I work at a local vet clinic taking care of many different animals with a variety of needs (including medication). I am very easy to contact, if necessary. I have references available upon request! I can't wait to meet you and your fur family- always open to meet and greets but up to your comfort level :) I prefer a weeks notice to adjust scheduling. Your dog must be dog and cat friendly. Outside breaks are offered in the morning, afternoon, early evening and evening. Breaks are typically 15-20 minutes or more but also dependent on weather. Feeding schedule can be 1-3 times a day. I have a six foot privacy fence and latched gates. All doors are locked when I'm away from home and at night. We're in the country away from any busy roads.

Our 12-year-old dog had just had unexpected surgery the week before our trip abroad. Brandon took loving care of her and our two other furbabies while we were away. It was such a relief to know she could recuperate at home under his watchful and caring attention. When we got back, she was back to her old self. We cannot thank Brandon enough for the peace of mind he gave us.

Thank you Jess for giving us peace of mind during our vacation! Taking care of a new puppy is challenging and even more so with our adult dog who is not quite sure what to think about him yet. Thanks for keeping us Informed with daily updates and photos. It's reassuring to know our fur-babies were in good hands! We will book you again for future vacations! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

About: Currently on a sabbatical from being an administrative law judge. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have personally owned several adopted shelter cats. Kitty, my cancer prone tiny, trained me how to dispense medications and do many other advanced treatments. I am currently working. I like doing it. I write for a living and I don't take that my writing is unclear well. If I take the time to tell you why a date might not work, I expect you to at least try to read and understand. If you tell me to re explain for no reason at all, then don't expect good results. You can scroll up and re read. If there's ambiguity, your questions can be written to get at that. I like dogs, cats, and people who can read. My home is being rebuilt until November 2025. Until then, I only have an apartment, but I take dogs to Paws and Pints and other dog parks as a means of getting out.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I love all animals as well. I take care of dogs daily at my house. I have 6 dogs at family house which is in the country I am currently self employed meaning I can work out any time or day mostly. I would like at least a 3-4 day notice before the sitting but if not it should be ok I do not have fenced yard and do not want to sit pet in my own house but will sit in clients home. I do feed and water daily

About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.

I have trusted Katie to watch my German Shepherd mix, Elsie, several times. Elsie is always treated like she is part of the family and sometimes I think she is even sad to come home because she had so much fun! I would absolutely recommend Katie as a responsible and loving dog caregiver, it's hard to trust anybody else with my baby girl!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Nicole took such wonderful care of Tinkerbell while we were away. They provided regular updates, photos, and made sure she got plenty of love and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in caring and capable hands. Nicole was also very professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We came home to a happy, relaxed [pet], and we’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

Sean is reliable and has always shown up to take care of our pets when we are gone. He texts us to let us know if anything is out of the ordinary and has been helpful in cleaning up if there is a mess. He always gives our pets extra love and they are excited to see him when he comes! We have two cats and two dogs, so it is a lot. We are thankful for Sean!

About: I have cared for cats since I was a kid. I am looking forward to being a warm host to their needs, or I guess they own me, so I will be a good pet to them. I can host a cat forever. I am also good with dogs, mostly dog walking. I work from home on weekdays. I can be flexible with my schedule during weekends for longer sittings. Overnight cat sitting is the best. Dog walking is available during weekdays only. I live in an apartment so the pets will mostly stay inside, I will give them a walk as needed for poo, and pee breaks or work from your insight on what your baby likes to do and their schedule.
