Jenna and her family spend loads of time with my puppy. I know he’s safe and loved on. And he came home preferring to pee outside instead of using the pee pad! Thank you.

Hannah was very communicative and my pup seemed to really enjoy staying at Hannah's home. They went on a few hikes, and Hannah sent photos that showed my pup happy and relaxing! I would definitely recommend her for care.

They kept Jethro, our doggie, so happy and taken care of. He was having so much fun with their own furry friends. We really are so grateful that we found such a good fit. Yay!

Very overdue review, but Nancy was great! Fast response times and she gave cooper all the attention that he craves. She sent pictures and communicated throughout the stay and even sent cooper home with a Christmas gift. Thanks for such a fun stay!

Denise is great! She even threw a birthday party for our dog while we were away. Their house is within walking distance to the beach and she took him on long walks - you can’t beat that! Definitely using her again.

Susie was very informative, responsive and kind. She sent lots of pictures and updates which helped feeling comfortable with a new sitter for my grandpup. Milo was very well taken care of and we already have her booked for upcoming dates. I strongly recommend her to sit, walk or care for your pet.

She was so happy and attached to Shannon when I picked her up. We will definitely be reaching back out for future dog sitting needs!

We were very impressed with Britt and Arlo. He was so welcoming to us and Boo Bear ! Boo Bear immediately swirled around his beautiful place and felt very comfortable upon our arrival. Britt is very professional, kind hearted and he truly made us feel relax to know our Boo Bear will be well taken care of like his own ( and he really did above and beyond ). Britt also send us pictures and videos of Boo Bear with Arlo. They are so adorable together. We are so happy to find Britt and he is such a blessing to us. If we can give him 10 star will surely do it !

About: If your dog has energy to burn and loves being outside, I hike multiple times a week and would love to bring your pup along for a 1, 2, or even up to 5-mile adventure, based on their energy level. This is a great option for high-energy dogs who thrive on longer walks, fresh air, and real enrichment, leaving them happily tired. I also offer dog boarding and daycare for workdays or weekends away, with a fully fenced front and back yard for safe outdoor time and play. If you’re looking for something more than a quick walk or need reliable care while you’re at work or out of town, I’m happy to chat and see if it’s a good fit! 🌊🐕 I typically have all day availability on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional flexibility for longer walks, hikes, and quality time as needed! 🐾 Dogs are cared for in a safe, calm environment with close supervision and plenty of attention. A fenced front and back yard provide space to play, and two friendly dogs offer great, well-matched companionship.

Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.

My 6 year old pug, Liam had a blast staying with Ashley for a long weekend! He was very well taken care of, and Ashley was super available while I was gone to answer text messages about how he was doing. Her experience working in a veterinary setting eased my mind about potential emergencies. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!

Hannah is confident and trustworthy with animals. She took care of our large mastiff who is about 1.5 years old so still has some puppy behaviors. She reached out to talk in advance of our weekend away and made herself available for a meet/greet. She made me feel very comfort leaving him. She sent updates and pictures through the weekend to keep us updated. When we returned he was well cared for and happy! We will definitely use Hannah’s services again!

Jenna and her family did an excellent job caring for my dog for three days and two nights in their home. This was the first time using Jenna as a sitter and her care exceeded my expectations. My dog is a 1:1 dog and she is extremely anxious in new surroundings and situations. Because of Jenna’s expertise and the family’s love and skills in dog sitting, my dog settled in quickly and adopted her new family easily. I will use Jenna in the future when I need a dog sitter. Jenna’s communication is prompt. She sent me regular text updates and photos which kept me in the know and made me relax knowing that my dog had adjusted and was in capable loving hands. I chose Jenna as a result of reading her reviews. These reviews were on point! I highly recommend Jenna for your dog sitting needs.

Bethiah and her Hubbie are the BEST people. They are active and loving. Our pup does not warm to all humans but at Bethiah’s house she fully sprawls on her back for tummy rubs. She got to go to the beach all the time, got snuggled into her bed and even got some time to chill in the Van life van! I cannot say enough about this family and how much we both trust and appreciate them. Thanks guys!!

We couldn't be happier with Natalia! Our energetic mini-goldendoodle, Rocky, had an absolutely fantastic week-long stay at her place. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. Natalia's communication was outstanding – she made it incredibly easy to connect, and we especially appreciated the photo updates and sweet notes on how Rocky was enjoying his time. This allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without a single worry. Her home is a doggy paradise: spotlessly clean, wonderfully spacious, and features a fantastic garden packed with toys that Rocky clearly adored. It's truly the best environment a pet could ask for. We had such a positive experience and will absolutely be rebooking Natalia for all our future dog-sitting needs!
