1. Jess C.

“Jess did such a great job watching our little Megan. She made me feel comfortable right away and my dog seemed just like herself when we went and picked her up. I got pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and communication was always fast. Would definitely book again!”


2. Elthea & Joshua M.

“Our dog Dixie has an amazing time she especially enjoyed having other dogs to help keep her entertained although she herself is a ball of entertainment. Elthea and Joshua kept us updated at all times on Dixie while including some wonderful pictures of her! We are so thankful and would highly recommend them!”


3. Patricia E.

“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”


4. Liz U.

“Liz and Tim were great in keeping us up-to-date on Blue's daily activities and sent pics of a happy dog. They were super accommodating when our dog nipped another dog in their care, forcing her to be kept separate from other dogs in their care. Liz and Tim know dogs and how to keep them all safe and happy. We would definitely use them again, but not sure a group situation is best for our "only child" who doesn't always play well with others. Thanks for everything!!”


5. Susan W.

“Susan has been amazing taking care of our pup. She came home happy and tired. Extremely caring, patient, provided great updates, went above and beyond to make Zona comfortable during her stay! You can tell she is an animal lover!”


6. Leahlani S.

“She absolutely SAVED us when we had a last minute sitter cancellation due to some weather at home. She was able to accommodate us so quickly with zero issues. The dogs loved it there! Very satisfied! Highly highly reccomend.”


7. Joy L.

“Joy was great!! She took Lilly to the park and made sure she was well taken care of. Joy has a great love for animals and it shows. I would be happy to leave Lilly with Joy anytime I’m away!!”


8. Katie C.


“We were able to relax while away knowing that Nela was in competent, caring hands with Katie. She's fun, upbeat and she knows how to support the dogs to interact well and practice positive social skills. We will definitely book for Nela to stay with Katie again next time we travel.”


9. Genevieve G.

“Genevieve was a lifesaver during our family trip from austin to Santa Fe. Our 1yr old mini golden doodle hasn’t been neutered so none of the daycares would take him. We found Genevieve on Rover same day & she was able & willing to take Charley for the day. He had a totally blast with her 2 labs on her 1 acre backyard in Tesuque! We’re scheduling with her again this trip & Will for future trips! Highly recommended- she loves dogs!”


10. Michelle D.


“Admittedly, I was a bit nervous to leave my quirky tripod at anyone’s house. Mylene is my queen but she is anxious, nervous and can be slow to warm up. Michelle and her family were the perfect fit for Mylene. It was so nice to not have to worry about Mylene while on vacation. I could tell that Mylene received a ton of attention on Mylene’s terms, exercise and clear/consistent direction from Michelle. This is why her stay went smoothly and she didn’t destroy anything due to not being stressed and she was able play with 2 other dogs. Michelle was very communicate and timely with responses which made securing this rover stay, drop off and pick up extremely easy. I am so grateful, I chose Michelle to watch my girl for this long stay.”


11. Jerrett S.
“For 2 years, we trusted Jerrett to watch our beloved dog, Otis. Along with being incredibly responsible and timely, Jerrett created a bond with Otis that made him wag his stubby tail every time he saw him! On longer trips, we received picture updates and daily texts about how he was doing. Being able to leave our dog at home with Jerrett made our dog's life less stressful, as he was able to stay in his own yard and sleep in his own house & bed. We have a new dog now, and have yet to leave her, but when we do, we'll hire Jerrett.”


12. Mark M.

“Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.”


13. Anastasia E.

“Anastasia was exceptional! She kept my dog for 10 days/nights and I knew my dog was in a safe and loving home. We had a meet and greet beforehand so I was comfortable with both Anastasia and the environment. She provided daily updates and photos which allowed me to enjoy my time away. More importantly, my dog LOVES her. My dog was part of the family while there, even sleeping in the bed! I DEFINITELY will use Anastasia in the future and highly recommend her.”


14. Alexis G.
About: I’ve always had a dog since as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a love for animals. I take care of my family’s pets while on vacation or just on a weekend trip. I’m currently working full time but am available anytime after 4pm. I am also free on the weekends and can spend all day caring for your fur babies. I live in a very rural area where your dog can run free, as long as they are trained and can come back on command. If not, I have a fenced yard in the back of my house for a bigger outside dog. I have 2 yorkies that are in the house fully so if you have a smaller dog, I can keep them inside ☺️


15. Erika C.


“Erika took great care of our St. Bernard Layla, she booked us with short notice, provided great communication and picture updates while we were away. We will be rebooking again in the future.”


16. Marireyna M.
“Mari was wonderful with my 19 year old cat giving her attention and love while we were out of town for a week. She made sure she was fed and cleaned up after. I would highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.”




17. Patris K.

“Awsome! She is kind and caring and professional and loves dogs. Her dog, Shane, is part of the package and is a great host to other dog visitors.”


18. Jesse G.

“Jesse was fantastic. Comet stayed with Jesse and we picked up a relaxed, happy dog. He sent pictures and lots of updates. We will book with him again.”


19. Bekah K.

“Bekah is super super good and professional! My dog loves her and her dog Gatsby. She totally knows what Rossen wants and take care of my feeling and concern.”


20. Shaylene M.
“Shaylene is a down to earth caring and loving person she is a true dog lover. We were able to enjoy being away from our babies with no worry at all and when returning home all three babies were relaxed and happy!! Will definitely recommend Ms Shaylene. Looking forward to our next get away as I know for sure my animals are in good hands.”
