“I had a great experience with Chunli! She was incredibly considerate of my home and treated it with the utmost respect while caring for my dog. I truly appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and photos — it was so reassuring to see how well taken care of my pup was while I was away. I could tell she went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and my home were in great hands.”
“Kim did an amazing job watching our dog Ruthie while we were gone! Ruthie was super happy and we had peace of mind knowing she was so well taken care of. Kim also left the house super clean, we couldn’t be happier!”
“Patrick was an amazing dog and house sitter! He bonded with our dog right away, kept the house spotless, and sent regular updates that put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy dog and a well-kept home—he truly treated both like family, and we’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Abi was amazing with our girl Nori. She took her on multiple walks per day, sent a lot of pictures and updates, and definitely took care of Nori and our apartment. We always love getting updates and knowing that our pup is being taken care of while we’re away. Couldn’t recommend Abi enough!”
“Allison did a pre-visit to meet our pup and was on time. She had a very relaxed but in control attitude with dog. Ended up watching our granddog too! They were relaxed and happy when we returned. I highly recommend Allison.”
About: I love animals, very responsible and will treat it as if it’s my own. Safe and comfortable home. Have had cats and dogs my whole life. You can be confident your baby will be in good hands. I work from home and your pet will be taken care of and kept in good company the entire time they’re away from you. You can travel with comfort. Your pet will be with me the entire time with a watchful eye and comfort, and they will feel like they are at home away from home
“Gregory was amazing during his stay with our Frenchie! He took him on walks and little adventures and we’ve never come home from a week long trip to a more happy and healthy doggo!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing!!! We had a dog boarding reservation fall through the night before our trip and reached out to Brooke and heard back within minutes. She came over within 5 minutes to meet us and our dog, it was pretty late so we were so happy she was willing to take on a last minute sitting job and come over. It couldn't of worked out better! She is incredible. She updated us throughout the trip and honestly she is one of those people that from the moment you meet her, you can rest assured knowing your dogs in the best of hands. Another very important thing to note is that our dog is a 13 1/2 year old lab. He's got pretty bad arthritis, has a hard time sleeping through the night, and takes a large ziplock bag worth of medicine twice a day. After the first boarding fell through hours before, we met with 2 other boarding sitters at their home and just didn't feel comfortable given how special needs our boy is. We had ZERO concerns once we met Brooke. She was so good with him, it couldn't of worked out better! We weren't anticipating having a petsitter stay at our house but after the dog boarding fell through, it was our last hope before canceling trip and she was such a trooper! We didn't have to worry about anything, you could tell she loved dogs, was super trustworthy and reliable. We will definitely be booking Brooke again as long as she'll come back! Ha”

Raising a puppy, I know to keep an eye on them and make sure they are safe.
About: Hello! My name is Mya and I absolutely love dogs. My favorite dog is your dog! I've always had dogs growing up and love to have them around.

I understand every pet has different needs and I am happy to accommodate your doggie with any needs they may have. Updates and photos will be provided throughout the entire stay.

I’m very attentive and set alarms for when we should go on walks or give medication. You will also receive pictures throughout the entire stay.
“Casey was absolutely incredible with my (almost) 16 year old Lhasa Apso. This was my first time using Rover or having anyone other than family and close friends watch my dog and I felt uneasy and uncertain hiring someone I didn't know to stay in my home and take care of my dog, especially now that she's a senior. Admittedly, I've been reluctant to take trips as my dog is aging and has more needs now. Casey made me feel very at peace with updates throughout my business trip including photos and messages. This allowed me to feel more comfortable being fully present with my trip. I will definitely use Casey every time I travel as long as she's available and now feel completely comfortable traveling again, for the first time in a few years.”
“Jamaica did an amazing job making Buster feel like family. She keep me up to date with fun pics of Buster's fun activities. Thank you so much for taking care of my family member”
“Leslie was nothing short of AMAZING!! So grateful for her care in watching our pup. Her professionalism was above and beyond. It meant to much to have him taken of as we asked. We thank you Leslie!!”
