Nicholas was awesome with Zeus. For the 2-1/2 weeks we were gone he kept us infor.ed and sent pictures frequently. I realized the day after we left that I had missed Zeus' heart worm protection and Nicholas went out of his way to pick up a dose at my vet. We highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely use his services again

Carol has been extremely helpful and caring throughout Percy's stay with her last week. She went above and beyond to accomodate us in times of need and challenge to find a suitable in-home boarding for our Percy. Carol's prompt and positive response gave us the opportunity to carry on with our plan. We received regular updates and pictures of Percy that were very reassuring and heartwarming. We feel so lucky and are very grateful to meet Carol. We will definitely stay in touch with her and gladly take Percy to her for his next boarding stay. Carol's kind and gracious care are unmatched and we highly recommend her. She is a great asset in our community.

Michelle did a terrific job for MIllie and myself. Both Millie and myself were experiencing separation anxiety, and Michelle did a great job for both of us.. Lots of photos and email dialogue reassuring my wife and I that Millie was doing fine. Truthfully, I think Millie missed being there and took a little time readjusting to being home. Will definitely try and book Michelle when we back in Florida next year.

Sarah took VERY good care of Dixie while I was away for the weekend. She provided constant updates with photos and video and she and her boys kept Dixie active and engaged. When I picked her up, I had a VERY tired dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. I would not hesitate to have Sarah take care of Dixie again.

This was our first time using Rover or a pet sitting service and Lori was great. She sent updates and pictures daily and we could see how our dog was happy and well cared for. We've used many kennel and pet resorts over the years but none of them could compare with the attention and care given our dog. We're happy to recommend Lori and will definitely have our dog stay with her in the future.

I left my puppy with Olga for 4 days while we were out of town. Olga did a great job taking care of my little guy and setting my mind at ease while we were gone. He had plenty of friends to play with while there, and I got to see some great play shots via the photo updates. It was the perfect home away from home for him!

Her home was beautiful and so pet friendly, and she was the perfect fit for us! I have already sent her to some friends as a recommendation and will be using her again!

We couldn't be happier with the care Lioubov provided for our German Shepherd, Gunner, while we were away. From the moment we met her, we knew Gunner was in good hands. Lioubov is professional, attentive, and truly has a way with dogs. Throughout our time away, we appreciated the regular updates, including pictures and videos, that Lioubov sent us. It was clear that Gunner was happy, comfortable, and enjoying his time with her. These updates gave us peace of mind and made our time away much more enjoyable. We will definitely use Lioubov's services again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Lioubov, for taking such great care of Gunner!

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life! I’ve been a reliable dog owner and watcher for friends, family and neighbors for years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and personalities ranging from Shih Tzu to Husky to Doodle to Aussie. I currently stay at home and am able to provide a lot of undivided attention, walks, and love for your fur baby! My schedule is flexible and I am able to board and watch your pups as needed. I have a shy mini Aussie (7) that is able to freely roam our home and will keep your pup company! Our yard is not fenced, but we are able to go on multiple walks a day if needed and enjoy our community dog park to get extra wiggles out.

THE BEST! Lisbeth took the best care of my old man. 15year old Jake (cat) takes medicine twice a day. Lisbeth's Vet Tech skills were why I chose her, but there were even more things that made us glad Jake was in her hands. It was a last minute booking, and then we requested to come later. She was kind and accommodating throughout the hosting, including letting us come early to pick him up. Lisbeth responded quickly to every text, and she was always cheerful. She sent me a picture of my Jakey-Boy so I could see he was content. He had never been boarded ever, so I had worries, that were needless. If you are deciding who to choose to take care of your fur baby, look no further. You have found the best choice!

Gabrielle is fantastic! She took over the care of our dog at the last minute due to an unforeseen situation. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. She took care of him as though he were her own pet or child. In fact, I am not sure he was ready to leave! She gave him a bath just before we picked him up. He went on multiple walks throughout the day. He was never left alone (she works from home). And her place is spacious, particularly the terrace! I will definitely use her again!! Best service we have ever had!

We live on a boat, so it’s always a little nerve-wracking finding new sitters everywhere we dock but Kym and Glenn were absolutely wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about them. They welcomed Marley into their home like she was part of their family. Their sweet pups, Daisy and Toby, were great companions, and it was clear Marley felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Kym and Glenn sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to have found them and would absolutely trust them with Marley again. Highly recommend!
