Aly was great and Rory had an amazing time! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on her the whole time. She was also super flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick her up late. All around wonderful experience!

We are always nervous leaving our senior dog with someone new. We were so happy to see him fitting right in at Jesse & Emily’s. They clearly knew what he needed and treated him so well. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Hope was amazing with our dog! She is very professional and caring and her dog, Loretta, is a sweetheart. Dexter felt super comfortable at her place and we felt very reassured about him staying with them.

Hillary was very communicative, flexible, and friendly. She was very attentive to our feeding/medicine instructions and communicated with me about what would be best. She did so much to help our dog, Marty, settle in. Marty came home happy and exhausted.

I can't recommend James enough! This was our first time travelling without our dog, and James was very responsive to all of our requests. He sent us daily pictures of her which really helped us since this was the first time we were away from her since adopting. Our dog came home sleepy and happy and it was obvious to us that she was well cared for and enjoyed her time. We're already planning our next trip so that we can book James again!

Paula is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter :) we left our puppy in her care for a week and have also dropped him off for daycare many times. She always provides detailed information about his day and even has offered suggestions/adjustments about behavior modification if needed.

This sitter literally saved me! Another sitter canceled right before my flight and in a matter of minutes they have responded and took my pet in with welcoming arms! They communicated efficiently, updated me every day throughout the day, and most importantly my dog was himself around them. Heaven sent family ! Don’t waste your time and book now!🩷

This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.

Ava (as a host) and her space (big back yard) were the perfect match for our Australian Shepherd (Ridge)! She was super responsive, sent plenty of picture/video updates, & our pup LOVED his time there. We will definitely be booking Ava again when we go on trips and need someone to watch Ridge 😊

About: I love long walks, naps, and food, just as much as your pup! As a dog mom myself I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and kinda crazy dog-loving person to trust your dog with while you're away. I absolutely love being around dogs. Working from home, I've realized that I am able to provide close to 24 hr care for your dogs whether they're here for boarding or just for the day and I think that's just great as a fellow dog mom. I'm happy to send photos all day! I've been dog sitting for years and I'm looking to continue this and help you out as best as I can! I look forward to working with you! I work full time from home. I make sure I have breaks throughout my day for walks and play time! I’m not away from the home too long on weekends either, so the dogs can have a nice routine. I have two dogs of my own. One wants to lounge about and the other wants to play. The home is very comfortable and set up for dog safety!

Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.

Mary watched my dog Rizzo for a week and she was absolutely wonderful. Rizzo was right at home with her family and I could immediately tell from her updates that he was happy and comfortable. Her children were also wonderful with Rizzo. I highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for dog sitting! Your pet will be loved and cared for just like Rizzo.

Katina is awesome, and my beagle Ellie gets excited every time we turn down the road to her house. It is very comforting to me to know that when I leave Ellie with her she is is the best of hands; Katina always takes great care of my girl and she keeps me posted while I am away. Thanks Katina! Highly recommended.

Kayla was great with our dog Lucy. We needed a sitter for just a few days while I was out of town. She was communicative while Lucy was with her and sent pics of her which helped being away from her. We will 100% be using Kayla next time we need dog care!!!!
