Giannina took great care of my puppy. She sent me text updates and pics which reassured whilr he was in her care. I can tell she has a love for animals, and I plan to use her again in the future.

Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.

Cassidy and her family took really great care of Belle. I was so nervous because I have never used rover before. Cassidy took the time to check in and send little updates about Belle and pictures. It eased my mind a whole lot and I was able to enjoy my getaway knowing my dog was in great hands. I will definitely be using her services again.

Our new addition to our family Layla came unexpectedly or planned but we couldn't love her more. We had a weekend getaway planned before getting her and needed a sitter for her. We went through different profiles and Bernice had great reviews and alot of repeat clients which we loved. We did a meet and greet and she agreed to take Layla for the weekend. She was kind. Sent lots of pictures all weekend and kept us updated very regularly. She went above and beyond. And Layla was very well cared for, we will 1000% use her again as a sitter in the future.

Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.

Each pet has different needs and as a pet parent I need to find placement to meet those needs. After several placements that were horrific to subpar, I was happy to find Jordan her pack and family. My dog was happy and well taken care of at Jordans house. Not only will I be rescheduling boarding I will also schedule daycare for my dog to have playdates with Jordans pack.

Excellent. Gave us a ton of picture, more than any other sitter we’ve had on rover. And due to issues at airport I was an hour late picking her up, and she was totally accommodating. Highly recommended!

About: I've taken care of different types of breeds of dogs in all stages of life. From my own pups to my friends beloved pets, I have 10+ years of experience. I currently work from home, so I am available to board your beloved pet in my house weekdays and weekends; or if you prefer your pet feels more comfortable in their own home. we have a fenced in back yard, but usually I take my pet out for a walk to use the bathroom; not a long walk but maybe to the end of the block and back. leashed of course. I feel it gives dogs a little more satisfaction to walk around and sniff while looking for the perfect spot to do their business. Of course if I am in a clients house, whatever makes their pet feel safe/good, I will always follow their preferred instructions.

Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.
