“This was Lola’s first time in a different setting than home. Sandy sent me pictures and updates on her all day. It helped me relax with her change and Lola looked happy. Thank you, Sandy.”
4. Marissa L.
“Marissa is a fantastic caregiver to animals! She grew up taking care of her family dogs and has been a loving dog mom with her current dog for almost six years. Marissa has taken care of my dog, sometimes with extended days when I've gone out of town, for almost four years. She has given me solid advice to help me become a better dog owner. My dog requires daily medication and Marissa steps in to provide whatever care is needed. I recommend Marissa without hesitation to care for dogs with love and the best care possible.”
5. Ryan H.
“Ryan and his partner are THE BEST. Ryan sent me updates and was an amazing communicator throughout the day while my pups were at his house. I received lots of photos, as well! My babies came home so worn out from their fun day at day care and went straight to sleep. They are extremely high energy, so it takes a lot to wear them out! GORGEOUS house with lots of indoor and outdoor room for the dogs to play on a quiet street. They have a doggy gate as you walk up the stairs to their house as an extra precaution. Their dogs are sweeties too and my pups had a grand time with them. Will definitely be using again. Thank you so much! :)”
6. Stephanie B.
“STEPHANIE IS AMAZING!! Shes was so very kind and extremley flexible. She communicated well and sent many pictures and updates while my pup was in her care. He looked like he was having a amaaazing time in the pictures and she event sent him home with an adorable bandana! I will be booking on a reocurring basis her services were that great. THANK YOU AGAIN!”
7. DeAnne S.
“Great experience! Recently my dog stayed several hours with DeAnne. She took excellent care of him. He’s now scheduled for two nights of boarding. I’m very happy to have found DeAnne on Rover.”
8. Yui H.
“Yui was absolutely amazing with Reese. She sent me pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when I would message her for check-in's. Reese felt right at home with her. When I arrived to pick him up, his tail was wagging and I could tell he had a great day. Before we got in the car to leave, I told Reese to say goodbye, and without hesitation, he walked up to Yui with tail wagging and gave her kisses. I will use Yui and Brian again for sure. This was my first experience leaving Reese with anyone, and will not hesitate to leave him with Yui and Brian again.”
9. Amanda M.
“Amanda was great to our 9 mos old lab, Chance! He spent a whole week with her over Thanksgiving and she sent me photos and updates everyday! He loved playing with her golden doodle Buster in their fenced in backyard! Chance was treated like part of the family! I have scheduled him 2 more times for daycare at her house and he is always super excited when he gets there and super tired when he comes home! She is now my go-to when I need care for Chance!”
10. Cassandra D.
“Cassandra is great with animals! She’s so loving, kind and patient with them. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur babies no matter what!”
11. Joshua S.
“Josh is an exceptional pet sitter! He is first and foremost an animal lover and has one of his own which is a huge plus. But he is super attentive and very responsible. He loves to take our pups on walks regularly and makes sure they get plenty of play time. I have trusted him to take care of my two golden doodles on multiple occasions and will continue to do so in the future! He’s the best!”
12. Whitney S.
“I met Whitney at work four years ago she quickly became infatuated with my two dogs and would come over after work regularly to walk them with me. She’s regularly watched them for me when I’ve gone out of town and done an amazing job and considering that one of my dogs are elderly and needs special care I don’t just let anyone do that. She got her own dog when she moved to a home she could have one in and he is the happiest boy ever! She’s a kind loving individual that will care for your dog as her own”
13. Maria B.
“Maria was great! We found her on site and she was affordable and gave the best care to our Bella and we will be using her again.”
14. Kassidy L.
“Kassidy is a wonderful pet sitter! You can tell she loves animals of all kinds. I really appreciate having her watch our animals because I know they are cared for and it takes that stress away.”
15. Jessica M.
“Jessica is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dogs loved her and she did an awesome job of taking care of them and making sure my home was secure. I’ve moved away and haven’t found anyone that takes care of my dogs as well as Jessica! I highly recommend her!”
16. Elizabeth M.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all throughout my life from growing up with them in the household as a child and being around them all the time. I love to explore and take my furry friends on walks, and different adventures. I have experience training puppies and love all types of dogs. I currently work from home so I am available at all different hours and can be with your dog all throughout the day. I have a small cava poo and he loves to play with new dogs and is very welcoming and happy meeting new friends. There is a dog walking area on the back side of the apartment where I can walk your dog. There is also a fenced in area where they can run or I can take them to a nearby dog park if needed. I can walk your dog with my cavapoo or separately, depending on what you prefer. If needed I can separate the dogs and crate them as needed, it’s really up to your preference.
17. Jennifer F.
“Jennifer was amazing with my dogs, always very punctual and took care of the dogs perfectly. Even did little special bonus things for them such as buying them treats which wasn't asked for, just part of her going over and above. I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my fur baby's ever since the stellar care I received from her.”
18. Jennifer S.
“Jennifer kept Loki for us. This is the first time we’ve left him with someone not our family because he has separation anxiety. Jennifer kept me updated and welcomed him in. Loki didn’t seem too stressed during his stay which was a relief. Jennifer sent several pics and videos which gave me peace of mind.”
19. Laura W.
“Laura is the best person to call to walk, feed or love on your dogs. I trust her with my pups no problem. I always leave knowing they will be taken care of.”
20. Eve T.
“Eve is a caring and attentive pet sitter! She loved our dog like he was her own. I don't think he even noticed that we were gone. I highly recommend her!”
