“Would highly and sincerely recommend. Incredibly caring towards my little mamas, and so respectful of my space. Made sure to gather all the info he needed from me. Regular updates and communication.”

“Merissa is a wonderful sitter and we are extremely happy with the care she provides! We have a few senior animals with special food and medical needs, and she made sure to follow all our instructions and kept us updated throughout her stay. She makes sure all of the animals are well-exercised and stimulated. We already have our next sit booked with her and highly recommend her as a responsible and thoughtful sitter.”

“Kevin did a fantastic job house sitting with Igloo for the day! He even went out of his way to come meet Igloo a couple days before so that she would be comfortable staying with a new person in the house. He kept us updated with photos during the day. It was great being able to have the day to ourselves and not worry - we would definitely have him back again!”

“Heather walks my dog on the days I work, and she is incredibly reliable, so communicative and very quickly responsive. My dog loves her too, and I always appreciate the pictures she’s sends on their walks. Recently, we went out of town for the weekend, and Heather house sat. She sent multiple updates and pictures a day, which was so appreciated, and was just as communicative and reliable as always! I felt so secure leaving my guy and home knowing Heather would be there to take care of home. Thank you again!!”

“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Rima took care of Bear while we attended a wedding. She was very communicative and made sure our little guy had a fun evening. I would definitely recommend and her style made Bear very relaxed and comfortable even though they had just met the one time. Thank you!”

“Barbara was committed through the house and dog sitting and patient when I was unable to communicate quickly due to my travel schedule. My two dogs had lots of time playing outdoors with her, and I feel like her stay helped my younger rescue pup come out of her shell to ‘strangers’ more :) She’s even been easier on the leash since I got home! :)”

“Ava is very responsible and conscientious. She sent lots of photos and checked in when she had questions, as well as responded to my questions. Max was well taken care of while we were away!”

“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

About: I primarily took care of my grandparents’ dog when I was a teenager, but have progressed over the years to caring for anyone in my circle’s pets as needs and vacations arise. I grew up in a cat-only household and haven’t had a pet of my own since I was 13 but I like to treat each animal I come across as if it were my own! I work full time during the day on weekdays, however I work remotely on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This allows for me to be in the home with a pet full-time on those days. I also am typically available weeknights and weekends. I treat each home and pet as if they are my own—With the utmost respect and with as much love as I can share! I am truly passionate about spending time with animals and like helping them not be alone in their owner’s absence.

“Natasha is great with our dogs and cats. she's very respectful of our house and it's so nice going on vacation knowing our babies are being looked after! Thanks again, Natasha!”

“I am a nervous pup mom and I want Coco Moose in his home. I tried traditional boarding and was mortified. I am so glad I found/connected with Emer. She is so helpful and understanding of my pup mom feelings. Her communication while I was away, was next level! Text with updates and she sent 1 of the cutest pictures ever along with many others. She spoiled him with extra walks too. When I returned home, Coco was happy, content and obviously very well taken care of. My home looked exactly as I left it. I can't wait until my next trip to have Emer back. It's 1 less thing I need to worry about when I need to leave. THANK YOU!”

“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”


“Evelyn was awesome with our two Frenchies, Homer and Lorelei! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of photo updates throughout the day, and was super easy to communicate with. Everything went really smoothly — we’d definitely have her watch them again!”

“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”

“Patrick was amazing! He was so kind and responsive to my cats and my dog! He sent my partner and I lots of updates and communicated with us. I would 100% books again!”


“Daniel is always great with Luna and I appreciate all the updates given throughout the day even when he was not feeling very well. Thanks again!!”

Dunes pet parents share their Rover experiences
I had such a great experience with Joe! He kept me up to date with how my dog was doing while I was away. He reached out with any questions or concerns that came up. He put my mind at ease knowing my dog would be in good hands while I was gone. Definitely will be booking him again in the future!
