“Stephanie is simply wonderful! She watched my elderly dog named Cosmo for 2 days on short notice, when he had just started on meds and he had limited mobility. In just a few days with her support and making sure he received his medications, he had much improved. She watched Cosmo like he was her own and shared updates all through the day including pictures. It was as if I had never left him. I feel Cosmo and I were truly blessed by her kindness. I highly recommend Stephanie to watch your fur baby. They would be loved and cared for like their owner would, if not better.”
“I am so appreciative of Crystal and her family! They went above and beyond to care for my whiny little dachshund with anxiety. He is an intense little guy who needs regular company. I received updates and pictures and he seemed so genuinely loved, well-cared for, and spoiled. I will absolutely book another sitting with Crystal when I need someone to watch him.”
“Julie is amazing! She sends lots of updates and photos, which I appreciate. I’m so glad I found someone who takes such good care of my dog while I’m out of town.”
“Megan is very thoughtful caring and clearly loves animals. She went above and beyond when our dog was frightened by storms. Megan stayed with our pup all night, comforting her. Megan is very attentive, took lots of pictures and gave us updates on how our pup was doing. Our dog came home happy and tired( from all the play she had!) It was a very good experience for us and our pet. Definitely 10 star treatment of our dog! Would highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than family and we’re very happy with how things went! From the moment we dropped her off I could tell she was in great hands. We will definitely book with her again. She’s great at sending updates and pictures which always eases the mind.”
“We needed to leave our Australian Shepherd to go out of state for a few days to a wedding. This was our first time to have our furry boy stay with Samantha, and we couldn't have been more pleased. She sent photos daily with updates. His supplies were well taken care of. Before our trip, Samantha asked all of the important questions to know his needs and behaviors. I would definitely recommend Samantha for your pup! She was great!”
“Our doggo is skittish and wary of absolutely everyone, but by the end of her two-night stay with Chloe, (less than 36 hours!) she was incredibly comfortable. I can't express what high praise this is coming from our dog! Any pupper would be lucky to stay with Chloe! We are so grateful we found her!”
“Aisha was a tremendous help to us as we left our golden retriever puppy with her, for a week. She communicated with us to coordinate drop-off and throughout the week. She sent pictures to us each day. I will use her in the future and highly recommend her services.”
“Christopher was fantastic to work with. He was responsive and made me feel at ease. You could tell from the start that he is a pet lover and I felt confident Wily would be well taken care of. I will definitely be using Christopher again!”
About: I have had dogs as family for over 20+ years. From puppy to senior they have all been loved well. Your dogs will be well cared for with me. I am a stay at home mom, homeschooling my child. There will be plenty of time for walks, play, snuggles, and scratches. I would love to help my community this way by providing a safe caring place for your furry friends to stay while your away. I have a fenced in yard for them to run. I have two dogs of my own for them to play with, they are very friendly. We can crate and separate dogs if needed as well.
“Our dogs had a wonderful vacation with Lauren! Our minds was at ease knowing that our fur babies was in such great hands during our honeymoon. Thank you so very much! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We are repeat customers of Chelsea and can’t recommend her enough! I never worry about my dog when he’s there because I know he is well loved. I also know he loves going because he gets to play a lot. Highly recommend!!”
About: My family is always traveling and have relied on me for their mini furry loved one. I love taking dogs on walks and if not walks, laying by their side, or playing along with them, doing what they want to do. I have much time currently, so I will be able to take care of your pups however you need! I am available mainly weekdays at what ever time you are wanting. I always make sure your pets are comfortable where they are at. If you have any preferences, for example if you are wanting your pet to be crated, I would gladly make them feel safe no matter what.
“Highly recommend AJ and his wife for dog sitting! They did an incredible job taking care of our golden retriever and sent tons of pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely book with them again!”
“We needed to leave Louie, our year-old Australian Shepherd, for a few days, and Megan turned out to be the perfect choice! We had a quick get-together before so she could meet Louie, and he could meet her dog. The drop-off and pick-up were easy. Throughout the week, Megan sent photos of Louie with short notes to let us know about his days. We felt like Louie had excellent care while he was with Megan. We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.”
About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. I am new to Rover, but have references from friends that I have pet sat, watched and walked. I'm pretty flexible at the moment, but do occasionally have conflicting doctor appointments. I can come to your house for walks, feedings but cannot stay the night. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Call me and see if we're a good fit!
About: Dog lover at heart. I will treat those bundles of fur like they're my children 😍 they weren't lying when they were nicknamed man's best friend. I work full time, but I'm available evenings and weekends! I am pretty flexible and can go there or watch them at my house. I have a big house and fenced in yard. I have a crate, if you prefer crating at night. Otherwise they will have run of the house with lots of beds and blankets and toys!
