“Ma’lisa did so well with our babies! She was punctual, thorough, and made sure to take notes/ask questions about anything she was unsure about or wanted specific clarity on. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates on our babies. They loved her. We’d definitely hire her again :) thank you, Ma’lisa!”

“It was such a pleasure for us to know that Amy was at our home taking great care of Whiskey! When we met Amy for our meet and greet we had a feeling that they would get along great and they did! Thank you Amy for taking care of our home as well and for your kindness and professionalism throughout. We look forward to having you come over again and spend some time with our whiskey ;-)”


4. Janiellee A.

“Janiellee did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our dogs! She provided timely updates, photos so we were kept up to date on how they were handling a new person in the house, and even left our house cleaner than it was when we left! I'm honestly baffled that anyone could leave a negative review about her, our dogs also give her 5 stars each. Would absolutely use her again!”

About: I've been taking care of animals for ages , whatever you want and need i promise i can always make sure you receive that at all times. considering i've had animals my whole life my daily and weekly routine involves them always, i don't know how i would live if they weren't apart of my routine. i make sure to give them the most attention i possibly can give, i take connections with animals very seriously. my dog is like my child and she always has been. and because of that i will always make sure to provide that same love and affection to anyone else's pet.

9. Mikayla B.

“Mikayla is amazing! I recently found her on rover while searching for a new pet sitter. We met in person, and I booked her for overnight stay at my house. She was amazing!! Sent pictures and videos and took great care of the house and all my pets. Already booked her again for another trip!”


10. Morgan G.

“Morgan was amazing while she watched our pups. Even before we left she was very thorough on making sure that she had all the info on how to take care of them. One of our pups is 15 years old and has a few extra steps in his daily routine that he needs and she made sure to take very good care of him. We got pictures and updates every day which we appreciate. Morgan even asked us one day while we were gone if our fishes in the aquarium needed anything which we really appreciated, it showed that she really did care about taking care of everyone and everything in the house. We are happy that we found her and will definitely ask her to housesit again for our pups”

“Meghan is the best !!! My first time ever needing a pet sitter and it was last minute so I was a bit nervous. But She is excellent at communication which is so important to me. My dog and my cats were in the best care while I was gone. They have certain diet requirements and my dog is a little anxious but she made sure everything was handled and sent me lots of pictures and updates. I will definitely be using her any time I go out of town and also for drop ins any time I’ll be working late. She is worth every penny and I highly recommend!”

18. Erika & Justin O.
About: We have two dogs, one is seiko who is an 14 year old Siberian husky-female.She has tamed down a lot over the years but our second dog blaze is a 5 year old husky mix male who has a lot of energy. So we are well versed in a high energy dog. I used to foster for rescues and have dogs at the house. We have a 6ft fenced yard. We are also trained in diggers as we have two ourselves. We walk our dogs multiple times a day and could easily include your pup. We both work from home, 8:00 am to 4:30pm. If we take on a dog to board or sit for the day we would be home the whole time they are in our care. We work full time from home. We would have no reason to leave your dog alone while they are in our care. If one had to leave, the other care taker would stay to be sure we are there for your dog. We have a fenced yard and two kennels If dogs ever needed to be separated. We however would only ever kennel for the safety of the animal and would have no other reason to do it. Our home is your dogs home. We have no issue with them on our furniture unless you don't want that in that case we can block furniture. We work Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm EST. We have the ability before and after our shifts but work from home; therefore, if we board your animals, we are with them while working. We have a fenced yard and can crate your animal if needed. Our dogs are friendly and would keep your animals company. We do daily walks, as well.


19. Nicole E.
“Nicole is not only reliable and professional but also genuinely loves all dogs, and it shows in the way she interacts with every dog she meets. From fostering rescue dogs to teaching me, a first time dog owner, how to properly care and socialize my puppy from the day I got him, I can’t recommend Nicole enough with her kind spirit and dog expertise. Nicole goes above and beyond, ensuring that my Frenchie is always happy, healthy, and well-cared for when I’m away. It’s such a relief knowing that he’s in good hands! I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog watcher!”


20. Estefany D.
About: My name is Estefany, throughout my life I have been accompanied by animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, monkeys, birds (hens and chicks specifically), ducks, parakeets, macaws, and others. However, during my most important stages I have been accompanied by faithful canine friends. Each pet that comes into our home is treated like one of the family. I have experience in caring for dogs with special needs, careful feeding, experienced with dogs from nursing new borns to senior dogs with a variety of different needs, grooming as well as potty and obedience training. I also love baking home made dog cookies for my personal dog in my spare time. I currently work part-time from home so I have extra time to care for, pamper, walk, exercise and provide the appropriate and necessary care for your furry friend. I am available to offer accommodation every day, starting at _6am_:_8pm_ I speak Spanish and English. My English is basic and i practice everyday to improve. At home we have a BIG fenced in yard that is reinforced all the way around for security and lots of fun things to do and explore in the yard. Inside we have a four bedroom house and each area is unique to accommodate every kind of dog. We dont like to use crates unless requested and we also keep all dogs separate unless requested otherwise (we have a sweet one year old poodle who has never met a dog who isn't her best friend as is willing interact with any family wanting their dogs to make new friends). We have beds for our dog friends to take a nap, although if your dog prefers his bed, no problem. Cleanliness and hygiene is very important here to keep everyone safe (I have enough bowls at home, as well as toys for dog guests), although if your dog has a preference, there is no problem. We are always willing to send updates on how its going and all the fun they are having!
