Michael took great care of our pup so we could have a guilt-free night out. Their consistent updates allowed us to rest assured that our pup was getting the best care and enjoying herself with Groni.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive person who understands how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m comfortable following specific routines or instructions. I will treat your pet with love, respect, and care—just like family. 🐾💛 I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and worry-free. I work from home running my small business, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. The only times I step out are briefly to drop off and pick up my daughter from school. Because of this, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and walks, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel at home. I always prioritize their comfort and well-being, following any specific routines, feeding schedules, or instructions you provide. I supervise pets closely, keep a clean and secure space, and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and attention as my own. 🐾💛

Wonderful dogsitter with a great backyard setup in Chesterfield! Dylan looked after our dog for a few days over Labor Day weekend. Our dog loved the fenced-in backyard (with stair/balcony overlook) and sleeping in the nice air-conditioned living space. Dylan provided daily pictures and updates which put us at ease while traveling. He’s rated highly with a good number of recurring customers for a good reason! Ill be seeking him out to watch our dog again next time we travel.

This was my first time ever using Rover, and Amy and Grant made it such a great experience! They were absolutely amazing with my dog Oscar—super communicative, informative, and clearly very caring. I got regular updates and photos, and it looked like Oscar was having the best time. He came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I could tell they treated him like part of the family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!

Wow!! Could not be any happier. Miss Kim went “above & beyond” in every aspect of caring for our 8 Mo old Basset for a week. She is a true dog whisperer. Gave us some good advice as well due to her experience. Will definitely look her up in the future. Mac was super happy, super clean and had a great week. We used a kennel in the past and it didn’t work out so well. Thank you so very much.

Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!

We left our doggie with Ari while traveling for two weeks and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after him. Our special boy is a senior Schnoodle that we rescued last year from a breeder situation gone really bad. Ari and her family welcomed him with open arms and treated him like he was one of the family. She sent daily updates and we thought our boy may not want to come home after seeing how much fun he was having in the photos. Also, he made a new best friend with the family dog Apollo. I would recommend Ari to anyone that is looking for a home-away-from home for their fur babies.

Kendra is absolutely amazing! She sent me detailed updates multiple times a day with photos as well. This really eased my mind as I was on a week long vacation out of the country with a 24 hour time difference. She also went above and beyond and took Theo on outings as well! I will definitely be using Kendra again and I highly recommend her. Theo came back home so calm and tired so I know he had plenty of play time 😊

Kayce was exceptional, from communicating with me about pick up and drop off to keeping me updated with photos and messages. We felt our dog Dream was well taken care of and loved during her stay. And when the weather was rainy outside and our dog got wet, Kayce washed her outfit and gave her a bath. Above and beyond service that we greatly appreciate! We recommend her to anyone and will be a repeat client in the future!
