1. Debbie P.

“Debbie was awesome. She allowed our dog time to get comfortable with her without pushing (he takes awhile to get used to people) and she treated him like her own. She kept us updated with pictures to let us know how he was doing. It really put our minds at ease!”


2. Rachel T.

“Our little guy, Chase, stayed with Rachel for a week. Chase was so well taken care of & when we went to get him, I think he thought he’d been adopted by Rachel! He loved it at her house! We will definitely be using Rachel again to dog sit Chase. She is a dog lover & we have every confidence in using her to care for Chase again. Thank you Rachel.”


3. Alina B.

“This was my first time ever using Rover, and Alina was the very best! She sent me multiple pictures and videos of my boy Monty daily! She took very good care of him while I was away. I highly recommend her!”


4. Tammy D.

“Really happy to find Tammy. Our dog, Hank, loved his stay with her and her dogs. She has a big fenced in backyard and a comfortable house with a lot of toys for the dogs. We will use her again. She is a 30 minute drive from CHQ and well worth it given the care that she provides.”


5. Allisandria D.
“Alli is incredible with dogs and animals alike! She’s affectionate, attentive and gentle with all dogs. I’ve been working with her for almost 2 years at our local doggy daycare and her care and provision for all of our furry friends is amazing. I would definitely recommend her for any care your animals and pups might need:)”


6. Michele S.
“Michele is a wonderful, caring person as well as a great sitter/walker. She is well-versed in animal needs, and behaviors. Her background as a dog groomer is extremely helpful in how much she has been around animals. She sees each dog as an individual assessing their personality and needs. I trust her implicitly as a person and my dog adores her.”


7. Phoebe R.

“Phoebe took great care of my pups. This was Bea's first time away from home post adoption, and she did really well. Phoebe sent me updates and photos every day, and responded really quickly to any message I sent. I will leave my dogs with Phoebe again soon, and already suggested her to a few friends.”


8. Hunter E.

“Hunter was so great with Wilson and sent lots of updates! I would highly recommend him for any of your furry friends!”


9. Logan S.

“Logan was great with my female German Shepherd. He gave her a lot of attention and exercise and kept in touch with pictures and how everything was going. I’ll be using him again.”


10. Ollie C.
“Ollie, pet sat my cat and my chihuahua after I found them through a friend of mine. Ollie was extremely professional and my pets seemed really happy. My dog didn’t even realize I came home until it was time for Ollie to leave.”


11. Katy H.

“Katy did a great job in taking care of our dog. Her house set-up with fenced backyard is ideal.”


12. Melissa T.

“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”


13. Emma L.

“Emma did a great job watching Emmy, and helping her feel quite comfortable when there for her visit. I was able to bring Emmy for a pre-stay trial, to meet the other friends there. It all went very well, and we highly recommend Emma L. to anyone who may need doggy care. This was our first time using Rover, and it was very good. Positive vibes all around.”


14. Wendy M.
About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of dogs ever since I was a little child and have experience with large breeds all the way down to small breeds and thoroughly love to spend time getting to know these furry blessings. I currently work full-time, but have very early morning (4am-5am) availability, as well as afternoon (3:15pm-3:45pm) and evening (7:00pm-8:00pm) and can even do late hours for walks (9pm-10pm). Weekends can be accommodated if booked one week in advance and paid in full for services requested. As always, flexibility is a must and I will certainly do my best to accommodate requests made. I have two friendly dogs that are outgoing and love to play but also like to nap on furniture, do walks and stroll around our yard and check out the chickens and rabbits on our homestead. I am certified in dog first aid/cpr and have passed a thorough state and national background registry check.


15. Rebecca S.

“Rebecca and her family were the absolute sweetest. I felt so bad leaving my fur baby. But they sent lots of pictures and my baby had so much fun with their dog!”


16. Raquel S.
About: I used to dog sit for friends and family. I fed them, I walked them, I bathed them, and I especially love just hanging around and playing with them! I currently work 6 AM to 3 PM Thursday through Monday and half off Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Thursdays through Mondays I’m available after 330 Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day. I do ask the owners on preferences about anything and everything whether that being a schedule for eating or walking or anything like that, but I would definitely take care of your baby like if it was my own!


17. Darlene B.
About: I have had dogs for pets as long as I remember, so I have years of experience taking care of my own dogs. I have a 2 yr old mixed breed that has a high energy level and wants to play a lot , so your dog would be a good fit if your dog likes to run and romp and wrestle with another dog at least some of the time.I have watched friends and family members dogs as well as a few others when they are working or go on vacation. Your dog would be super safe in our completely fenced in back yard and be taken care of like my own. Having a meet and greet meeting a few days prior to booking is required. So let me know if you want to meet us. I am a retired teacher but still very healthy and active. I am mostly looking for occasional jobs, not every day care. I would be willing to keep your dog over night in my home or for play dates during the day. I am flexible so whatever it is you are looking for we could discuss. *** If interested please contact me about a meet and greet days prior. Thanks As stated above I have a completely fenced in back yard. I would not take your dog any place. Your dog would have a fun time playing with our dog .


18. Rory D.

“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”


19. Katie S.

“Would definitely recommend katie to anyone in need of a dog sitter! She’s super nice and took care of my dog very well. Updated me with pictures and let me know how he was doing all of the time. When I picked my dog up from her he seemed very happy. Will definitely be using her again!”


20. Josette B.
“Josie watched my dog when I was up in PA visiting family. My Golden loved her Golden as well, plus being in the country was good for our suburb raised dog. He was not just cared for, but loved and enjoyed every second of running around and relaxing at her house.”
