“We love Roseline and Zeus! Our dog was in such good company with Roseline’s own pup, and was so spoiled by Roseline! We got photo and video updates every day, and appreciated Roseline’s patience with our dog’s quirks and energy.”
“After a bad boarding experience at a large kennel, a friend recommended Rover and we found Christina. As soon as I dropped off my pup, I knew we had made a great choice! The huge fenced in yard, menagerie of animals, and Christina’s friendly and caring demeanor told me my dog would be well cared for. It felt like we were dropping her off for a fun week at sleep away camp and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was having fun too! Christina sent a couple of updates and pics throughout the week to let us know Daisy was settling in and doing well! She came home happy and healthy at the end of the week. We will never go back to a kennel again! Thank you Christina!”
“My pup loved staying with Cynthia! She took care of our pup like she was her own! I was so worried to leave her for the first time but Cynthia’s daily updates with video and pics reassured us that our lil pup was enjoying her time at Cynthia’s. It is like a a dog’s dream resort-they get to play in a huge outdoor space and an indoor gym is provided to run around and play in case it’s too cold and rainy! Our pup also was socialized with other pups and had a good time with them! We will def be sending our pup there again!”
“Phil and Amanda are wonderful and took such great care of our dog… their dog is so sweet and got along great with our pup! They were very accommodating when my husband’s flight was delayed and had to pick up our dog late. A wonderful family!”
“She’s WONDERFUL to my dog, Apollo. At first, I was nervous about how she would be able to handle him without my presence but Apollo loved her without giving her a hard time! They enjoyed each other’s company. She’s a very understanding and being sweet to Apollo. She gave him a lot of love and treated him like her own dog. She sent the pics and gave the updates about him. That’s what I truly appreciated about her the most. She’s great at that so that way I wouldn’t worry too much while I’m away. Apollo trusts her right away and definitely will rebook with her in the future! Strong recommend her!”
“Jill was an amazing dog-sitter for Bean! She sent so many pictures and videos of Bean, and Bean was always looking so happy playing with Jill’s 2 dogs and running around in the backyard. Thank you, Jill!”
About: I have 10 years of professional dog walking, home sitting, and pet care. I look forward to introducing your furry friend to our mild mannered yellow lab who will entertain them for hours. Walks are facilitated on a mixture of surfaces and distances from a long 1 hour circle to an adventure in the woods, your dog will enjoy the squirls, deer, foxes and gees that we see on a regular occasion. The dogs and I often pick up a stick to play with along the way. Morning and evening walks are routine with a trip to the soccer field, local dog park or open field for Frisbee fun and tennis ball target practice in heavy rotation. With a fun dog to keep your furry friend occupied in-between walks, we can personalize your sleeping experience with either inside a large crate we provide or next to blankets or toys you bring from home. Its customized to your dogs needs.
“Great service. Christina was flexible and a good communicator. My two little dogs were happy and well cared for and we got nice pictures of them during their stay. Would recommend Christina!”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Wendie has been an absolute gift to us. We have used other sitters on Rover, but none of them were available. We booked with her because she was the closest person to us that was available. We were a bit nervous because she didn't have any reviews, but at the meet and greet, Princeton walked right up to her which he never does and we were happy. Considering he is an anxious dog with ridiculous energy, we were shocked. Needless to say, Princeton had the best time ever. Wendie sent pics and updates to let us know he was doing well. He really loved playing with her dog Asha the whole week and Wendie was able to channel his energy. We highly recommend her.”
“This was my first time leaving Jack with someone else and Marco and Margaret made it sooo easy and comfortable!! I got daily photos and a video of him playing!! He had such a great time!! I am sure Jack will be visiting in the future!! Thank you guys soooo much!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Having pets myself, my oldest dog being 11, I have experience in taking care of senior dogs but I also have a 3 y/o and have raised puppies myself so I am aware of everything that requires a young pup to a senior. I’m working part-time because of college so I would love to enjoy some more time with dogs!!! I am home almost everyday and don’t usually go out so I love being at home with my doggy’s! I have two friendly dogs, 1 a senior pup so he isn’t much involved and another 3 year old who loves meeting new friends and he needs friends to play with!! I also have a small fenced backyard which my dogs use to always go outside
“Millie had a great winter break with Michael! We will definitely use him again to care for our pup. We did a pre-sitting meet and greet, he requested written instructions on Millie’s schedule, and he sent me photos and little updates throughout our trip. I will recommend Michael to anyone who needs a thoughtful caregiver for their dog.”
“Eunice was ahhhmaazing! She mad me feel at ease leaving Sophie behind while we enjoyed a quick getaway. She sent pictures so that I could see how Sophie was assimilating with the other dogs. I will definitely use Eunice for dog sitting needs.”
