“I think that Maggie and Luddy had a great stay. It was so nice to have the photos of them enjoying their time with Julie and Joe. They seemed to be quite comfortable in their new surroundings by the time I picked them up the next day. In the past, Luddy had had a sitter at the house, but this was Maggie's (10-month-old puppy) first experience being away from home overnight. Since I presently do not have a fenced yard, it was great for them to have access to a yard for play without having to be leashed. Julie and Joe seem to truly enjoy having dogs visit with them, and they take good care of them and help them to feel at home. I am so grateful.”
“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”
“OMG! They are the best care providers for my two pooches, Reign and Bali. They loved on Reign and Bali like they were their own furry babies. Thank you for keeping them groomed, playing with them, and taking them on walks!”
“Amanda provided wonderful care for our senior dog. She was very proactive, learning about our dog’s personality, needs and quirks before meeting us. She was very accommodating, helping us with drop off and pick up so that we could better manage our flight schedules. She sent us pictures pretty much each day and it helped to know that our pet was being lovingly cared for. Our dog came back calm and well rested. We would definitely consider having Amanda take care of our dog again. Thanks Amanda!”
“The best review I can give is that I think my dog was depressed to be home because he missed Kathy and her husband so much!! Chewy loved being there,I loved getting the pictures to start my day. Best experience ever for me and my pup!!”
“My 2.5 year old Australian Shepherd had an absolute blast with Loren and Sari! They have a huge piece of land allowing my dog, Burton to run around freely and rest when he wanted. I feel like Sari and Loren welcomed Burton into their home and loved him as one of their own. Burton for sure had a blast and is dog-tired from all the fun he had today!”
“Kathy is so accommodating. She has very flexible drop off and pick up times. She treats our dogs as though they were her own. We have used her a few times and never worry about our dog's well being while we are out of town. We will definitely use her again.”
“Being my 1st time using the app with my puppy, I was nervous. Jenai & Sean were outstanding! They made my dog feel like part of their family and treated him with as much love as I do. They were patient with his quirks & kind to send lots of photos to keep me informed. I will absolutely be using them in the future & highly recommend them”
“Savannah was Awesome !!! It was our 1st ever having our dog away from home and to play with other dogs. Our Dex had an Amazing stay. It was stress free and Momma (Wife) was able to relax knowing that her dog was in good hands with Savannah.”
“Stephen and Rachel were wonderful for boarding our cat, Nori. They are just the nicest couple and ommunication was always quick and easy. Their home is warm, inviting, and peaceful. They have two adorable cats of their own that were relaxed and friendly. After leaving Nori with Stephen and Rachel for over a week, she returned home in perfect shape. We would absolutely reach out to Stephen and Rachel for any future boarding needs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Nori!”
“Small issue at the beginning but it was resolved as quick as it showed up. Great woman! AJ loves her and enjoyed every moment there! He came home extremely happy!”
“Becky is a tremendous sitter! It was our first time using Rover and we left our two dogs with her for 11 days. She made us incredibly comfortable throughout the entire process, from our initial meet and greet all the way to pick up. She's also great about communicating and sharing updates, often even more than once per day. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!”
“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”
“Reed and Natalie were great to work with. They were both very kind and worked with my dog that is a little kiddish around new people. They took the time to slowly get her to come out of her shell. They sent many text updates, photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Reed and Natalie again!!”
“Madison and her boyfriend took great care of my senior dog. They sent regular updates and made him feel at home. I highly recommend Madison for dog sitting!”
About: "With over 35 years of personal dog care experience, including fostering, I provide a warm, home-like environment where pets are welcome on couches and beds for maximum comfort." I care for my elderly mother who lives next door. Our backyards are connected, and I use 24/7 cameras so I can monitor her while staying home with the dogs. For your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, my home features a fully fenced yard, a child gate, and pocket doors to securely section off areas as needed.
“Mr Bear is an old grumpy dog who doesn’t take change easily. I was worried how he would adapt to strange people in a strange place. I didn’t need to worry. Via the pictures Sarah sent in a daily basis, he was sitting in the bed, getting along everyone even the dog. I was impressed by the love and care Mr Bear got. Will definitely use her again.”
