Kristina is an amazing furbaby sitter, and we are so grateful for the care and attention she gives to Enzo every time he stays with her. Enzo is a regular with Kristina, which says a lot about the trust and comfort we feel leaving him in her care. She is dependable, kind, and truly treats him like family. We always appreciate the updates, love, and patience she gives him, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for. Enzo always comes home relaxed and happy, and we highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾

About: We had our first crazy dog for 11 years. We've had our current old dog for one year, and have learned to guide him around through his failing eyesight. We will have the support and advice of one family member who has been petsitting for six years. I stay at home full-time. There are usually two to four people at home at any time. Our own dog is never alone. I am available for boarding any time, and having another dog or two occasionally will be a treat for all of us. We have a yard, but no fence, so we always use leashes when going outside. We have stairs that dogs will need to navigate. The light in the staircase is always on. We have an older dog of our own who cannot see well but loves other people and other dogs. He especially likes little dogs, but occasionally objects if they get too close too fast because he cannot see them coming. We have experience giving pills, eye drops, and ear drops.

Gino has been great with my one year-old husky, Pearl. She can be a handful, but he’s dedicated to working with her and it’s been wonderful. Pearl gets to see Gino every Wednesday and she loves going over there for daycare.

About: Thank you for considering me. $20 discount for 1st time Rover clients! Please ask me for the promo code before booking with me. I have taken care of rescue and shelter dogs for the past 5 years. I have fostered many dogs with my wife and helped them find forever homes. Enjoy your trip and holiday while your fur baby enjoys a staycation with us. You will never be charged for a late checkout if flight is delayed or due to any other reason. I watch your pup closely through out the day and will send pics/videos to keep you updated. I have a fenced yard. I prefer a meet and greet session with my dog before finalizing the booking so that your pup gets familiar with me and my dog. I consider dogs as family and take care of them as my own. They are not allowed on sofa and beds and inside the kitchen. I walk the dogs twice a day with yard time at regular intervals depending on the weather. We avoid dog parks for our rover dogs. The daily hygiene routine of the dogs includes cleaning of eyes, paws, sanitary areas. If at any time, your pup gets sick, I will notify you and also connect with Rover vet. I can provide the pup with rice and boiled chicken in case of upset tummy. I can provide medication to your pup as and when required. Please make sure the meds are marked and labeled. I can provide with crate, blanket, bowls if necessary. I recommend providing big water bowls for larger dogs as I only small ones. Let me know about the commands or tricks your dog understands and the boundaries practiced at home so that we can do the same. My wife and I are currently working from home full-time. I will be attending to the dog full time and will be available to take for walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I have a fenced yard with outdoor camera. We have two fur babies currently staying with us now. We have crates to crate train the pup. On walks, the pup will always be on a harness with a leash.

Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.

Tamar is a awesome ridiculously sitter! Our dogs had a fabulous time with her! We met with her before our stay so she could meet the pups and go over any concerns we might have about them staying with her. This put us very much at ease because she was on the same page with us in how we care for our dogs. Her home is also well maintained and there are plenty of areas for dogs to rest and play. We definitely will have our dogs stay with her again and can highly recommend her to others!

I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!

Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️

We are so grateful for the amazing care Edgar and his family provided for Gunner. They welcomed him in the early hours without any hesitation, which was such a huge help to us. He spent time playing with him, giving him lots of attention, and even cuddling with him so he could settle in and relax. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again Edgar and to your family for taking such wonderful care of our boy!
