“Eric and Martha take wonderful care of Ruby and love her as much as we do. The communication is exceptional with regular videos and updates. We can be away knowing our baby is safe and happy. We're a little worried that she won't want to come home.”
“Andrew is so thoughtful, prepared, and caring! Our puppy always comes home so happy and fulfilled from his time staying with Andrew, who has also been very patient with our growing puppy who is still learning a lot. We also always appreciate the consistent check-ins and updates while we’re gone. Thank you Andrew!!”
“Susan and Craig were wonderful! We are so thrilled to have found them and intend to use them again in the future. I could tell that Olivia had a wonderful time while she was there and was very loved while I was away. Susan and Craig also kept me up to date daily with how she was doing and shared cute pictures from her stay. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“I knew immediately when we met Colleen and Joe that our dog Jack would be in amazing hands. I felt so at ease Jack’s entire 10 day stay thanks to the great communication and picture updates. Jack was clearly living his best life on their comfy couch and in their sunny, beautiful backyard, and it melted my heart to see Jack bonding with his new BFF Nico!! We are so incredibly grateful to have found such kind people to care for our fur baby, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again!! Thanks Colleen, Joe and Nico!”
“What excellent sitters! We feel so good leaving our dog with them. She can be a handful and a little reactive so it’s hard leaving her with other people sometimes, but we love knowing that Jacquie and Kyle treat her like a member of the family!”
“Dustin was great. A very laid-back experience. Photos or a video every day gave us assurance all was well. Dustin was also very flexible when we came back a little early from our vacation.”
“Will had doggy spring break with Timmothy while we traveled. We love getting photo updates through the week. Will came home tired and happy! Thank you for another good week!”
“My dog is a nervous baby and I’m always hesitant to find new people to watch her when I’m out of town. Morgan was incredible to work with and my dog was so happy upon my return. It is clear that Morgan showed so much love to my baby and I 100% will rebook in the future”
“Hannah is amazing! We've left our girl with her twice now, and she took really good care of her and adapted to her needs for 100%! Thank you so much, we'll definitely be back ❤️”
“Our dog loved staying with Judy and we felt at ease during our 9 day vacation knowing Swish was getting the love and attention he does from us-if not more. We will definitely book with Judy again in the future, but probably never stay away from Swish that long again! We missed him.”
“Amy made us feel totally comfortable trusting our pup with her. It was a much needed vacation so being kept in the loop not having to worry about what was going on with Arya was a blessing!”
“Kira was a wonderful sitter and took great care of Mushu, I appreciated her frequent daily updates throughout the entire duration. Mushu got along well with her adorable dogs as well. Highly recommend her and will definitely have her look after Mushu again in the future. :) thank you Kira!!”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Poppy had a great stay with Erin. I’m thankful she was so flexible with her schedule and we could make it work. I appreciate the great communication and frequent photos. I would absolutely use her again if I was in the area.”
“Tracey did a great job taking care of our 65 pound Zinnia. She communicated really well with us and was an attentive sitter. We’d hire her again for sure.”
About: I’ve taken care of friend’s pets, family and neighbors. I’ve recently adopted a rescue from Pet haven who loves hikes. Pet friendly Home away from Home. I’m available to feed, walks and playtime with your pet throughout the day. I have other pets who also have a routine, and should fit in nicely with others. Our home has a fenced in yard where there’s plenty of space to run. My husband and I also hikes on the week and go to dog parks(if parents are ok with this).
Hawthorne dog parents share their Rover experiences
Madigan had another great (extended) stay with Erin and her cavalier crew! As usual, communication was quick and clear, she was able to accommodate a reservation date change due to a work trip circumstance on my end (requiring a two week stay instead of one week), and of course she provided lots of pic/video updates throughout the stay. Madigan always appears happy and playful in them and I know Erin is taking great care of her! Madigan even got to watch the puppy bowl with waffles :)
Andrew was phenomenal! He took the time to ask questions about Josie and understand her personality and needs. I was so impressed when we first met that he came prepared with all the questions about Josie and how he goes about boarding that I left with immediate confidence. Josie loved her time and I loved getting daily video and photo updates. I will absolutely go back to Andrew when I need care for Josie in the future!
Amanda watched Robin for a long weekend trip and all went very well. She was great at sending pictures throughout robins stay and made sure to give Robin the exercise and attention she requires. We would definitely recommend Amanda for your pets care and would trust her with Robin again in the future.
Kevin was absolutely amazing with Karma! She stayed with him for a full week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Kevin’s communication was excellent — consistent updates, responsiveness, and genuine care that gave me total peace of mind. Karma was welcomed into his home like part of the family. His dog and cat were incredibly friendly and got along wonderfully with her, which made the stay even better. It was clear that Kevin and his family truly love animals and treat them as their own. I’m extremely grateful for the care, attention, and kindness Kevin showed Karma. I will 100% be using his services again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter. Thank you so much, Kevin!
Kaitlin watched our Newfie and Bulldog in her home for about two weeks while we were on vacation. I felt very comfortable with them there and didn’t have to worry about them at all. Kaitlin is great with communication, updates, and pics/videos. Our bulldog has a skin/ear regimen and Kaitlin followed those instructions. She was very understanding on the first day when our bulldog had a reaction to her cleaning an ear that is sensitive. I feel like Kaitlin understands dog behavior and that really is another layer of reassurance. Highly recommend Kaitlin and would not hesitate to book with her again!
