“She was able to take my two dogs last minute after another rover person did not answer when I was at their house. She was amazing with my babies and they really enjoyed her. Definately recommend!!”
“My dogs spent 10 days with Theresa. She sent lots of pictures and they looked like they had a great time with her! We will definitely use her again.”
“Mary is awesome! Our dog was accepted and treated as part of her family! My dog would be anxious and glued to me for a week after being boarded. But after staying 3 days with Mary, she is calm and relaxed as if we never left. I could tell she enjoyed her stay by the pics Mary sent me and her demeanor when I picked her up. We will definitely be using Mary every time if she is available!”
“We loved Tonja and her family. Leaving our dog, Moe with them was so easy and I had absolutely no worries the whole time gone on vacation. Moe became part of their family from sun bathing and swimming to sleeping! Pictures and communication from Tonja was amazing. Moe Loved the family and so do we. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Moe. We will definitely be back!!!”
About: I can do just about anything. I have experience with all ages of animals. I trained my own dog with basic commands. I am a very patient person and I will treat your furry baby the way I treat my own. I have a very energetic 2 year old, 40 pound, Belgian malinois/german Shepard that I rescued from our local shelter as a puppy. I walk/run him daily if not twice a day. Caring for dogs and cats is no inconvenience in my daily life. Our backyard is not fenced in, however I have a 50 ft leash available for use to allow dogs to have the freedom to roam and sniff. I can also take them out on a leash myself. For boarding we have an area for dogs to be alone to have downtime. Along with a large crate with a dog bed inside.
“Appreciated the quick responses (I booked last minute). Loved receiving daily photos and a check-in. My pup was clean and had a cute bandana on when I picked him up.”
“I am so thankful for Lindsay being available so much on short notice to keep Maggie! She had a great night and Lindsay was fantastic with communication while she had her.”
“Athena loved it and seemed super comfortable! Stefanie was great! Definitely will be a repeat customer!”
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
About: We have had a dog or dogs for over 20 years. My husband and I both grew up with dogs as well. Our two dogs have been with us since they were puppies and both of them attended three levels of dog training classes. I work part-time very early in the morning and we spend a lot of time at home because my kids are homeschooled. There is usually always someone at home. I will do as much as I can to accommodate the dog owner’s preference in care for their dog. We have two dogs that can play with your dog. If your dog needs to be in a crate I can accommodate that. Our dogs are not allowed on the couches and chairs but my children do let them sleep in their beds.

About: Hello! I am so excited to connect with + walk your dog! I have experience dog walking + sitting. Last year I went to Bali and dog sat for a wonderful couple and I have volunteered at the Humane Society numerous times! There, I got the chance to walk many different breeds of dogs, big and small. I am very gentle + loving with animals of all kinds. I can also be very stern when needed depending on the dogs temperment. I personally believe a dog is an important part of any family and should be treated with the upmost respect and loving care just as any human. Your dog and I will have a wonderful experience walking together! I am very grateful to be able to offer this service.
