“Jason is amazing as always! We had a last minute request and he was very accommodating. This time our pup stayed with him and Jason was absolutely fantastic. Jason kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear our furry companion was comfortable and well cared for. Pickup/drop-off was smooth, communication was quick, and our pup came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.”
“Great stay for our dogs! Chris went above and beyond to care for our dogs. He was responsive and flexible. We are looking forward to many more bookings with him. Thank you, Christopher!”
“My dogs loved staying with Karen, and I loved seeing photos of them playing with other dogs and snuggling with Karen on her bed!. Karen was very accommodating with our schedule and I was happy knowing my pups were in a safe and loving place. Thanks for hosting, Karen!!”
“Our dog Bonnie stayed with Theresa for 10 days. She is amazing! I didn’t worry about Bonnie for a second. Theresa was communicative, sent photos, and took great care of our girl. Highly recommend!!”
“We have used Shadid for weekly daycare all summer, so it was a no-brainer to seek out her care when we needed to board our puppy for a week while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos to reassure us our dog was doing well. She is always professional and so easy to work with!”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic with my pup! I received numerous updates throughout and could see he was having such a fantastic time. Will definitely use again in the future!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we first connected, Tatyana was kind, professional, and truly caring. They treated my pup like family—sending me regular updates, pictures, and even little notes about how the day was going. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and loved.”
“Sharon took great care of our dog! The first thing our dog did at dropoff was poop on against Sharon's rug (yikes!), but she was kind and understanding. She also sent lots of pictures and updates.”
“Mindy has been very accommodating and reliable with our 2 golden retrievers. Previous planned dog sitter cancelled 12 hours before, Mindy onboarded them in no time and they felt home right away. I do recommend her wo. Any doubts”
“Tracey and her family are the absolute best! Excellent communication, timely updates and a willingness to adapt to schedule changes. They took amazing care of my dog Emge - truly a home away from home. Will be booking again :)”
“John was fantastic, and I definitely plan to use him next time I go away! He was super-professional (yet very friendly), sent me lots of pictures, and I could tell my dog Venus was happy as a clam while she was staying with John. I can't say enough about how great John was.”
“Karen was wonderful! She gave us lots of updates, pictures, and was super nice in general. She took care of their medication needs as well, as they are senior dogs. We did a meet and greet ahead of time. Our babies were very calm around her and it gave me peace of mind knowing that they were so well taken care of. She took them on lots of walks as well. I plan to keep Karen at the top of my list when I need a dog sitter next!”
“Reese had a good time with Cornell. He took Reese on long walks and to the park to help get his energy out. Cornell was very responsive in his commutation and was flexible and helpful when my schedule changed. We will for sure book him again soon.”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Eve and Sean were great in every respect, flexible when I confused the dates, sending nice pics of my dog while staying with them. Thank you so much, I know Haley loved being with you!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for essentially my entire life and have over 28 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities 🐶❤️ Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own family pets. 🐾 While I’m new to Rover and still building reviews on the platform, I understand that trusting someone new with your pet can feel a little nerve-wracking. I’m always happy to answer any questions and arrange a meet and greet so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in caring and capable hands ❤️. I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. That’s why I take the time to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules 🍽️, medications 💊, potty breaks 🚶♀️, exercise and playtime 🎾, crate routines 💤, and any special instructions provided by their owners. My goal is to create a calm, loving, low-stress environment where your dog can relax, feel at home, and receive plenty of affection and attention 🥰🐾. Whether your pup enjoys cuddles on the couch 🛋️, outdoor walks 🌳, play sessions 🎾, or simply lounging in a cozy spot, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and personalized attention throughout the day ❤️. I strive to make every dog feel safe, secure, and truly part of the family 🐾. I also provide regular photo and video updates 📸✨ so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the best possible care while you’re away. I work from home, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine 🏡🐾 Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day ❤️ I’m able to maintain feeding schedules 🍽️, medication routines 💊, walks 🚶♂️, and any special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and consistent while you’re away. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making every pet feel safe, happy, and part of the family ☺️ I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family 🐾❤️ Since I work from home full-time, pets are rarely left alone and are always closely supervised 👀🏡 I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules 🍽️, medications 💊, crate routines 💤, potty breaks 🚶♂️, exercise and playtime 🎾, and any special care needs. Every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I tailor my care to help them feel relaxed, comfortable, and at home 🥰 I also send regular photo and video updates 📸✨ so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away

Outstanding communication. Received regular photos and updates. They even went above and beyond to pick up prescription meds when our Hugo got sick. Very warm and caring. We felt very safe leaving our dog with Kasey. Thank you so much for all your help and great care
Anamaria did an amazing job taking care of our Shih Tzu for a week while we were on vacation. This was the first time we had done pet boarding for our dog and we were nervous about how well our dog would do in a new environment. Our dog took to Anamaria right away and by the end of the week, she didn’t want to come home! :) She had such a great time at Anamaria’s house, and we had peace of mind that she was being taken care of so well! Anamaria sent us lots of fun photos and updates throughout the week and her cozy place was absolutely perfect for our reactive dog. Anamaria is such a nice person, and we can’t wait to use her for pet boarding again! We highly highly recommend her!
We had a great experience leaving our senior dog with Huan for two weeks while we were away. She sent daily photos and videos and kept us updated, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took him on walks, made sure he got plenty of rest, and clearly cared about his well-being. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and healthy. It was also nice that Huan has a small dog. They got along well and kept each other company. We would definitely trust Huan with our dog again and highly recommend her!
Yuhui and her family watched our dog and cat for our 10 day trip. This was our cat’s first time having a sitter and our dog’s first time being comfortable in a new home within minutes of us leaving which was a reassuring sign. Pictures and updates were sent throughout the trip. Our pets really enjoyed their time there with our dog going back for one last hug for Yuhui before we left the pick up. Would def recommend and will be using again!
We had a great experience! Tessa took amazing care of our dog and kept her active the entire stay with walks, playtime, and activities. It was clear our dog was getting lots of attention and care, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Communication was great, and we loved seeing updates. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!
Piero is the best. He took excellent care of my dog, Tank, and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt very pleased and completely trusted him throughout the stay. Tank was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with him. Piero was also very reliable and communicative, constantly keeping me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend him.
