“Barrie is just plain awesome. She loved our dog at least as much as we do. She sent updates and pics and I had zero doubt they my dog would come home a better dog. Sam loves to go for walks and Barrie gave her plenty of that! Can't say enough about what a great experience this was for Sammy....and us...I did not worry a second about her! Thanks for being a rockstar Barrie!”
“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”
“Amy was wonderful with our two dogs! She very clearly spoiled them. I can tell by the pictures that they had a great time. Especially out in the back yard! She was also very accommodating with our schedule which was very much appreciated!”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“Shelby was great! She gave us daily updates and it was evident she made our pup feel right at home. We have used her twice and great experience both times. Hope to use her again! Our pup came home happy and healthy!”
“This was my first time ever boarding Benny anywhere and he had a blast with Brittney! I had a bit of anxiety but Brittney stayed in contact with me and sent photos throughout the duration of trip!”
“Fantastic sitter! He was the third I’ve used on here and by far the best! He took Sammy last minute which was such a help for me. He treated him like his own and sent pictures and updates which I really appreciate. I get anxious leaving him with strangers. He put all concern a side. Don’t hesitate hiring this guy! One of the best in care and price! 🐕”
“Ashley was awesome with our two Boxer girls! Mags and Su had a blast playing in the big fenced back yard & with her pup and senior Boxer. I honestly think Su is going to have separation anxiety from Freya, she loved playing with her so much!! Ashley sent daily updates with photos/videos. We would highly recommend, especially if you have a Boxer, trusting Ashley with your fur babes!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“Jonathan and family were so kind and took great care of our dog Sookie. They were very accommodating and did a great job of communicating while we were out of town. I would 100% use Jonathan again to keep our doggie. Thank you!”
“Doug has cared for our little doggie, Freddy, a couple of times now. Freddy has diet restrictions that make for extra work, so we are very happy with Doug's attention and care. Great dog sitter! :)”
“Dogs were very clean and happy when they returned home. Rachel was very quick to respond to any questions and sent multiple pictures of our pups during their stay, and even accommodated some last minute change in plans for us. Will book again!!”
“Jordyn was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos everyday . Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we came back — we couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“I highly recommend Harold for anyone looking for a caring boarding experience. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with him. I appreciated the frequent photos and updates which let me know my dog was fine. He made sure my dog felt comfortable and safe and loved during her stay.”
About: Having grown up with animals most my life…I pride myself in the ability to comfort and love your furry friend… Even from a distance. My special skills, are soft skills… Meaning that I work best with slow warm-ups for any anxious pets. But also, I’m ready for any high energy animals as well. I go to school, and work during the weekdays… But have a giant break in the middle of the day, for any pet care. Weekends work best for me. Making sure to adapt to whatever the pet owner, and pet need. Whether that means space, or extra attention… I can be that in-between person you request. I also pride myself on attention to detail… So will notice any change in behavior, or care necessary.

Highly recommend! She took such amazing care of my baby while I was away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such loving and responsible hands. She treated him like her own, kept me updated, and made sure he was comfortable and happy the entire time. I’m truly grateful for the care and attention she gave him. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Milo had such a great time with La Timberly! 🐾 I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated, and she was always super responsive whenever I checked in. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. I’d absolutely trust her with Milo again!
I had a wonderful experience with Barrie. Taking care of two dogs isn’t always easy, but everything went very smoothly. Communication was clear and prompt, and I received regular updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while I was away. It was obvious that my dogs were well cared for and comfortable. I truly appreciate the care and responsibility, and would definitely book again in the future.
I highly recommend Jimbo as a pet sitter. He went above and beyond to take care of my puppy Ginger for 7 days, even giving her a cute outfit and spoiling her with love and attention. He also provided daily updates and videos of Ginger playing in the dog park, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I was completely satisfied with his service and will definitely be recommending him to others in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
