“Sheila really is the best! She’s the only person I’d trust our pup Billy with for a whole month- he came back happier than ever and she gave constant updates and photos to let us know how he was doing, even during NYE fireworks. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Madison is a lifesaver — I sent a request late in the evening for a dropoff the following morning and she confirmed within a few minutes! She was consistently responsive, flexible, and friendly. She also sent pictures within a few hours after dropoff which gave me peace of mind that my pup was settling in well, and most importantly he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I would book with Madison again!”
“Arya has stayed with Selien several times now and she always has a great time! Selien is great with sending pictures and updates and Arya is always happy and excited when we arrive.”
“From the moment I arrive to drop off Charly (my dog) Blanca was very welcoming and comforting to myself and Charly. She’s very respectful and thoughtful when asking and answering question about [your] dog’s care and needs. She sends frequent updates with picture and videos just so you can see how your pup is doing. To add to that her house itself is a dogs dream. She has a front and back yard that’s completely sealed off so the dogs have all the room and freedom to move like a dog in his natural freedom. She will definitely be my go to recurring dog sitter and I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Clio was great! My pup Mooshu had a great time with her family. She was also very understanding and accommodating when my flight was delayed and I had to pickup Mooshu the next morning.”
“Mariah was amazing with my dog, kept me updated and sent me pictures and videos of him which made me feel more comfortable. Booked her last minute and she was available. Would definitely re book 😊”
“Jamie and her family were the perfect choice to watch our dogs while we were on vacation. Xena is a black Lab who is the sweetest dog. Juneau is a black German Shepherd with neurotic tendencies. She is the one we were worried about. But, Jamie was able to make her kids understand that Juneau is just nervous and to give her some space. Both dogs seemed happy and healthy when we picked them up. I would definitely contact Jamie the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Another amazing job by Magda! I feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her and she always treats her so well. Would give her 10 stars if I could!”
“Brianna went above and beyond to give our doggie a great experience! She was responsive and very caring. We are truly impressed and appreciated her support. Will recommend her for sure. Thanks Brianna!!”
About: Next schedule update for SEPTEMBER availability will be around August 12 ◡̈ I’m an RN with two dogs and a cat! I’d love to care for your babies on my off days! I am also AHA First Aid/CPR certified in cats and dogs ◡̈ If your dog is not cat friendly, and you need boarding/daycare, please let me know to see if we can work it out! My mom is in the front house and I am in the back house! So, KitKat has plenty of space to live freely while I care for your babies! If there is a day that is unavailable, reach out to me! If I am completely unavailable, it is a work day at the hospital. But if I am unavailable because I have an appointment or gathering, it just means we can possible work around it ! These are just the days I can be available all day for them and have no plans ! ◡̈ My schedule varies and I am currently applying for a new position. So, I will try my best to communicate what days I can be with your pet! Usually my availability is updated two weeks before the current availability ends! I usually work every third weekend, so if you have a weekend in mind, feel free to message me! If there’s time to put a request in, I will definitely do so! Holidays (day and Eve) I usually work except New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. I’ll gladly care for your babies then. The reason is not because I want to party, but because I want the last day of the year and first day of the year to be as stress free as possible. Hanging with pets over going to work sounds like a great new years celebration. I will treat them like my own. I deal with people for long hours, and being around my pets is the most therapeutic thing for me. So I figured I’d add some variety. There are therapy dogs where I work and the joy fur babies bring is magical. My backyard is pretty big in my opinion. It has a fence door to separate cement from grass, if needed! (E.g. If my mom or I need something from the garage and need to leave the back gate open to take something to the car? No worries! We have that second fence to keep the babies from running out to the front yard! All fences and gates are very tall. I do offer an end of the day bath if you’d like! I’m NOT a dog groomer and have only washed my owns dogs and some of my friends dogs, so please be away that this will not be a professional job. The extra cost is just to help my with supply cost. I have shampoo, conditioner, brushes, dryer, ear wash, dental spray for tartar control (not teeth brushing), treats, towels. If your dog has any allergies, I’d suggest skipping the bath. I do also have some dog wipes that I can use to wipe down your babies after play! Feel free to ask any questions.
“Annette (though she prefers Sylvia ☺️) is incredible! She is communicative, flexible, and so kind and I felt so comfortable on vacation knowing my pup was in good hands. Over the course of the week, she took him on daily walks, sent me lots of updates with photos, and overall took such loving care of my pup. She space is clean and comfortable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone ❤️ thank you Sylvia!”
“Victor was very nice and caring. He was very accommodating when I had to add on a day of responsibilities with my job out of town, and it was Mother's day : ( Kudos to VICTOR, Thank you soooo much, I would definitely not hesitate to book with Victor again!! : )”
“He is incredibly attentive, responsible, and caring. I could tell that my furry friend was in good hands right from the start. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness throughout the stay. I highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch pet care.”
“Thank you Angie for taking good care of our Piper. Sending us those pics are great because I worry about her a lot coz she is my baby😊 Piper seemed to have enjoyed her stay. Hoping she will always be welcome at your lovely home.”
“Elyssa was wonderful: I’m always very nervous when leaving my pup with a new sitter but she literally took care of everything, communicated wonderfully, sent me pictures of everything they did, the whole experience gave me so much peace of mind. I would totally recommend and book again! So glad I found her”
“So…i thought i had found a match made in heaven with the previous sitter, and mind you, i did find one my fur baby just adores but when she was booked up i had to scramble for another sitter and well Joanna was not only convenient being close by but she also was willing to accept my last minute booking request. And on top of that she was extremely thorough and kept me up to date with how he was getting along and sent pictures that I actually saved to my phone cause he looked so adorable and happy!! I can not thank you enough Joanna for you generous hospitality and professional mannerisms throughout this wonderful experience! ???”
“Very glad we found Sonia! My little pup had a great time with her and her daughter. We also appreciated the regular picture and video updates :)”
“This is the very first time I've used Rover and this is the first time I've used Ashlee She was outstanding she kept us very well informed with how our dog was doing. She was very kind and loving, we felt very secure with leaving our dog with her. We will use her again in the very near future.”
“Our dog Rusty's first stay with Athanasia was wonderful! I'd highly recommend her to anyone. She was flexible, communicative, and professional - all that you could ask for in a pet sitter. And to illustrate that I'd like to highlight two things about our experience with her that stood out to me. First, when we first contacted her about boarding, she asked really good questions. That's always something that marks a good sitter in my experience. Knowing that she was actively thinking about our dog's care and doublechecking details that we didn't cover in our Rover profile really put me at ease even before we'd met her. And second, when we picked Rusty up, she had all of his stuff so well organized in the big blue Ikea bag that we pack full of his food, toys, and blankets. It might seem like something small, but it really made me see the care she takes with things. (I myself normally just jam stuff in the bag until it fits, haha.) That's the kind of thoughtful person that I like to leave Rusty with. Thanks again for the great stay, Athanasia! We hope to see you again soon.”
