“I was overall happy with the care Mary gave to my pet. She knows everything about cats whether they’re big or small. I was updated by her and gave me photos and videos. My cat enjoyed his time at her home and it was like a vacation for him. I will for sure come back for her whenever I need a cat sitter.”


“Nicole looked after our two dogs for a four days. They were well taken care of and she sent pictures and a video to keep us updated. I would highly recommend Nicole.”


“Louis stayed with Elizabeth for almost 3 weeks while we were on an extended vacation. We naturally were nervous as we had never left our “baby” for more than a few days with a sitter. Elizabeth put us completely at ease. Her family treated Louis as one of their own. She sent us regular updates and adorable photos. I would wholeheartedly recommend Beth for short or long term dog boarding and would happily use her again!”


“Raquel is amazing! She sent photos and videos throughout the weekend and is super responsive. We’ll definitely book with her the next time we need to leave our Carl at home.”


“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”


“I cannot recommend Maisa highly enough! She boarded my pomsky, Romeo, for four days and she provided best-in-class service from start to finish. Her communication was above and beyond—she sent a milllion photos and videos, keeping me updated from sunrise to sunset. I never once had to wonder how Romeo was doing; I could see how happy and comfortable he was every step of the way. Additionally, Romeo absolutely adored Maisa's two dogs. They played well together and by all accounts there were no issues integrating Romeo into her home. It was clear she genuinely cared about Romeo and treated him like one of her own. Her attention to detail, warmth, and reliability gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I know he had a great time playing with her two dogs! If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like family, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”


“José, was a great host, he always sent us photos and warned us when she took it out, he complied with the routine that our dog was used to, we felt very confident from the beginning, excellent host!”


“Kristina was very good with my dog. I felt very comfortable boarding my dog with her, she makes sure to keep you updated and send pictures/videos throughout the entire stay. Also, besides a good pet sitter she is overall a good person, very reliable, and trustworthy”


“Monique was the absolute best sitter for our adorable Mr Pickles! He had his own room the entire stay with lots of toys and activities. She even meditated with him once a day. It was so satisfying for us to know that our cat was happy and cared for while we were away on a 10-day trip. I can't think Monique enough for how wonderful she was with our family member!”


“My favorite sitter (and my dog’s favorite). I’ve used again and again and will continue to book anytime my little Luna can’t join us for a trip!”


About: I'm a dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for pups. For the past 5 years, I've been a dedicated foster parent for South Florida Dachshund Rescue, welcoming over 20+ adorable pups into my loving home! Currently, my sweet dachshund, Luna (age 10!), keeps me company, and I previously had a Jack Russell who lived a happy life to 17. Being around dogs my whole life has given me a deep understanding of their needs. I can tailor walks to your dog's energy level and personality, ensuring they get the exercise and playtime they deserve. Whether your pup is a playful dachshund or a spunky Jack Russell, I'll treat them like my own – with love, patience, and respect. I taken care of dogs of all ages and have learned the patience of gaining a dogs trust with love and affection. I am self employed and have lots of free time through out my days all week Monday thru Sunday to cater all your pet care needs. My Luna is potty trained and moves around the house as she pleases. Our apartment offers tons of space and is a very peaceful and welcoming environment for any dog.

“Communication with Jennifer was great. I received at least one update per day, most days even more. Luna loved playing with her dog Kona and will definitely want to stay over again in the future!”


“I cannot speak highly enough of Anastasiia & Vadim! From the moment they picked up my beloved dog, I felt an instant sense of relief knowing he was in capable hands. Their accommodating nature made the entire process seamless, from pick up to drop off, relieving any worries I had. The regular photo & video updates they provided showcased not only my dog's well-being but also the genuine care and attention he was receiving. I wholeheartedly recommend Anastasiia & Vadim to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will certainly be using their services again in the future. Thank you for everything!”


“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! This was our first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Rebecca was incredibly sweet and caring — my dog Hera felt right at home with her and her lovely dog Lemon. Hera was walked, fed, loved, and even given her medication with care and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Becca again!”


“Heather made our trip away from home so much easier!! She was super responsive, sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day. We were happy and comfortable working with her. We finally found someone we can trust with Capri :)”


“Antonio came through for us in a pinch over Thanksgiving holiday and we are so grateful! This was Marley’s first time staying with Antonio and from the moment we met him at his grooming salon (which is so nice btw!) we were instantly comfortable. We are helicopter parents and he didn’t bat an eye and was totally understanding of our novel of instructions and requests including her preemptive first aid medicines. We can tell he was very attentive to Marley while we were gone and she got walks and lots of treats and even made a couple of pup friends who he was also babysitting. We got updates and pictures everyday and Marley came home fresh & fluffy (as we took advantage of his grooming service 😃) and happy. Thank you so much Antonio for taking such good care of our Marley!! We would happily recommend him to anyone have have him babysit her again! 🤗”
