“Not sure there is enough room to leave Michael all the praise he deserves! We left our 1.5 year old golden retriever with him for a long weekend and we did not worry for a second. Michael sent us frequent updates/pictures and gave him so much exercise and love. He answered any questions we had and was very responsive. He cares a great deal about dogs- we cannot recommend him enough. Will use again!”

In their care, my boy was completely at ease and had so much fun. I highly recommend Natalia and know I can definitely count on her for future visits! Thank you so much, Nata ☺️🐶”

About: I've grown with both cats and dogs majority of my life. I am patient and love all animals. Give me instructions on how to take care of your pet and I'll do that and so much more. I am currently working at a part-time job and will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I can do drop-ins through-out the weekend as I am almost a full-time student during weekdays. I will be sure to check with owner of where pet is allowed to go in their home and if there are any issues with fences.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

She even picked him up and dropped him off - he looked very happy and refreshed. I am really happy i found her and will def be using her in my future plans. She communicates all through the process and even sends me pictures of my happy dog all during his stay. Grace thank you again!! you are the BEST!!

About: I have doggy sense: I know how to give space when needed and dogs warm up quick! Doggos are like babies, love em so much I have my own fur baby (7 year old bully), I'm used to giving doggos lots of care. I make sure he potties and eats when needed! Treats included! I spoil the fur babies, if allowed. I am very very careful to make sure they never escape. I am very empathetic. I care for others' dogs the way I love mine

Becky and her family were so professional and pleasant. Their home was perfect for our Leyla with a beautiful green backyard. While on vacation our family received lots of pictures putting our mind at ease. She was snuggled, she was played with and she was loved. She was very active and got lots of exercise. Becky was a great and fast communicator and followed our instructions well. We joked that maybe she wouldn’t want to come back home. Upon pickup Leyla was very happy and very much herself. We will book Becky again the next time we need a pet sitter!

I had such a wonderful experience with Stacia boarding my dog! She was incredibly accommodating and was able to arrange a last-minute meet and greet, followed by a 3-day, 2-night stay. From the very beginning, Stacia was welcoming, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. One of the biggest positives was seeing how comfortable my dog was with her. He typically doesn’t eat when he’s away from home, but he ate while staying with Stacia, which really showed me that he felt safe and comfortable in her home. Stacia also kept us updated throughout his stay with pictures and even a video, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we picked him up, he was happy and seemed like he had a great time! Her home is also a wonderful environment for dogs, with a beautiful sunroom, backyard, and a great neighborhood that is perfect for walks. Most importantly, Stacia has such a warm, caring personality, and it’s clear that she genuinely enjoys having dogs in her home. I would absolutely use Stacia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to care for their dog. We’re so happy we found her!

So incredibly grateful to have found Meghan and Jason. We had a meet up prior to our booking dates and felt more than comfortable to have them take care of our baby Armin. A big plus is that they have one of the best dog parks their community, it’s huge! We received plenty of videos and pictures daily. Armin was even laying upside down in their care, which he only does when he’s extremely comfortable and we have yet to see that with any prior rover experiences. Armin easily gets diarrhea if he has any changes to his food or treats but Meghan and Jason did great with his regimen. We got him back with healthy poops lol. They even accommodated to drop him off at the end of our booking which we desperately needed. I can’t say enough good things about them and am excited to have found a future pet sitter with zero worries 🙂

Absolutely wonderful sitter! What meant the most to me was being able to relax while I was away and know that my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated the communication and updates, and I never once felt like I had to worry. When I came back, my dog was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know. I’m so thankful for her and would absolutely have her sit for my dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.

Victor & Lessly are amazing! They are the perfect tag team couple to care for our pup. Our guy is a bit high maintenance with all his drops, medication, food, and FOMO for when we leave him for vacation. Victor & Lessly gave him extra attention and frequent recaps and photos to keep us at ease. We even landed late and had to pick him up the next morning in which they went out of their way to feed him a home cooked meal in which we failed to provide an extra. We highly recommend them and will be using them again!
