“Renee was great. Easy to engage, asked a few questions, and assured us that she’s both a dog and cat owner. She visited twice as requested and provided great photos of her visits. Would def work with her again!”

“Brittaney took care of our fur baby pretty much all week. She was very quick to response to our last minute requests. She is very reliable and I definitely recommend”
“Kiara was amazing at caring for our 2 BIG babies. She was extremely responsive, timely, and flexible. One of our pups has anxiety and had an accident. Kiara took the time to clean up the mess and immediately notified me. Her patience and loved for animals is apparent! Thank you again!!!”

About: I have been a dog owner for 6 years and have been helping with neighbors' pups as well. From potty breaks to belly rubs, I can help with your canine needs. I am available on weekdays after 6:30 PM or anytime on weekends! I have a dog and 2 cats at home. I walk my dog 3 times a day, your fur baby is always welcome to join us! If your dog is cat-friendly, I will happily host them at my home. Communication is very important to me, and I will send updates, pictures, or anything you need. I understand leaving your pet is difficult, but I will make them feel at home with love and care.
“Jay was a wonderful sitter to Snow and I would rebook her! Daniel and I appreciate all of the attention you gave to her while we were gone, as well as all of the updates and pictures you sent to us. 😊”
“I cannot say enough about Erika. I was running late and she volunteered to provide shuttle service to come pick up Stewart and was happy to bring him back to my apartment. That is extraordinary service and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found her!”
“Maliyah is so so so so sweet ! She is accommodating and clearly loves animals ! I’m so glad a friend told me about Rover. I already have her booked for a couple weeks to take care of my pup. Will continue to use Maliyah . She also lives close so it’s convenient for her and me !”
“Your dedication and professionalism truly made a difference. It's clear you put a lot of effort into providing excellent care. Knowing our loved ones are in such capable hands brings immense peace of mind. We sincerely appreciate your commitment and reliability. Thank you again for everything you've done.”
“Ms. Eva took phenomenal care of my 3 fur babies. She is extremely professional and went above and beyond to ensure they were well cared for. I would definitely recommend Eva. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Marika was fantastic and so communicative in watching our dogs. She was prompt, caring, and took our dogs on quality walks. We absolutely loved the photos she sent too - captured our babies at their finest 😂. We have 2 frenchies (one of which is a puppy of 10 weeks). Mia was thorough with her updates - detail about potty time or any accidents - which really made us feel at ease and informed about how potty training was progressing. I would highly recommend Mia and will plan on reserving her for any future needs. Beau and pumpkin miss you 😆- thanks again.”
About: Now I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before Yes I swear, it's the truth And I owe it all to you… and the pups If you scroll through my photos, you will see how we are truly living the dream. The apartment ant market square tower and the facility located downtown is 7000 sq ft of fun and dogs are separated by size 🙌🏼 I am accustomed to all dogs varying in breed, size and temperaments. All are loved equally and dearly. I will need vaccination records and all pups must be up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo and bordetella to stay at the facility. If you currently have a specific schedule with your baby it is ideal to keep that schedule with the exception of the facility. Otherwise, breakfast at the house and facility are both at 7am. Then it’s whatever your pup needs or wants. Some pups like to cuddle, lounge and watch tv, others like to play. It’s your pups vacation too. We want happy comfortable pups. The apartment and facility are located downtown near the ballet inside a very secure high-rise with 24 hour security and concierge. The dog park across the street is also the biggest downtown 🙌🏼
“We hired Delilah to dogsit, and we organized a meet and greet, which went well. We ended up cancelling our booking due to outside circumstances, but we then rehired Delilah for a different occasion to pay a house visit and let our dogs out. Delilah is great at timely and clear communication. Will hire again.”
“Karisma is an amazing sitter for my dog during the couple months that I have her for drop in visits. She’s trustworthy and is proactive of whatever me or my dog’s needs. She’s always available when i’d need her. She’s easy to work with and I’d definitely hire her again if I ever need drop in visits again.”
“Hannah can through right away when I needed a last minute sitter for my cat. She was highly commutative, promptly, and very friendly. I will definitely book again in the future.”

Ariana was so sweet and caring with Jasper! He absolutely adored her and I can tell he was cared for during his visits. She is great with communicating and giving updates throughout the visits! I booked her with only a week in advance and she was very accommodating! So thankful 💕

Jacquelyn was wonderful! We reached out to her at the last minute and her timely responses made us feel super comfortable boarding a last min flight knowing Caesar would been in good hands. She took plenty of pics and left us a sweet note about their time. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future!
Eva is fantastic! We agreed to a Zoom meeting where we were able to get to feel each other out prior to us having a meet and greet with Shyla. That went great; Eva was very thorough with her questions to make sure we covered everything. The meet and greet was awesome as well. Eva was very sweet and interested in knowing everything she could about Shyla's habits, toys, favorite walking routes, etc. We had our first drop-in today which went as expected.. awesome. Highly recommend. We will continue to work with Eva!
Kayla was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter!
Beth was the sweetest! She checked in on our pups twice while we were out. It was storming so the poor babies were scared and peed in the house. Thank you Beth for cleaning up and taking care of them! She sent plenty of pictures, took them on a walk for potty time, and fed them dinner. Thank you Beth for taking care of our babies!
Roya did such an amazing job taking care of my babies! My cat became sick after I had left town and Roya really helped me to feel comfortable knowing my kitties were taken care of. I really appreciate her thorough updates and her help with a stressful situation! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Ginger was amazing! Our dog is shy, scared, and difficult to deal with. Ginger knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable and bring her out of her shell, and Ginger was great at dealing with her quirks and checking on her wellbeing. We also loved how responsive and accommodating Ginger was! Definitely we will be relying on Ginger in the future.
