Savannah is the most loving and sweet dog sitter! We had her overnight caring for our mini doodle-and when we came home-he did not even run to us-he stayed right by her side and was happy, content, and for the first time ever, he was not depressed while we were gone. So glad we found her!!

Marissa did an awesome job. We booked last minute and she arrived early to watch our 5 pups. They can be crazy, but she said they calmed down and weren’t bad. I am that overbearing dog mom, but was 100% comfortable leaving my babies. I would definitely recommend her for watching your animals. She did a great job.

Rebeccah was wonderful. We went away for a few days and had Rebeccah come and stay at the house with our dogs. She sent photo updates, was responsive, and took great care of the dogs. We will certainly be requesting her services again.

Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.

This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit I was nervous. Abby was fantastic! She took the time to come over and meet us and our pups before our scheduled trip. Abby kept in touch to let me know how our boys were doing. I could see by the end of the first day they felt safe with her. We came home and our pups were happy and obviously we'll cared for. Our house was just as we left it. I am so happy to have someone that we can trust with our fur babies. Abby's love of animals is obvious and natural. I would recommend her to anyone that asked. Thank you Abby 🥰🥰🥰🥰

We had a great experience with Mara! She came and stayed at our home for two nights and took the best care of our two black labs. She was great with our dogs and communicated right away with us if there were any questions, etc. We felt very comfortable with Mara taking care of our dogs while we were away! We will definitely being using her again! :)

I highly recommend Mohamed for Rover, as he has years of experience with dogs as a pet owner himself. Mohamed has the skills needed to perform this job. He is knowledgeable in dog behavior, highly responsible. Great organization skills which are important when handling more than one dog and multi tasking.
