“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”



“Thank you Julia for everything! She sent updates on how my dog Autumn was doing. I felt comfortable leaving Autumn with Julia and we will continue booking with her for when we go out of town 😊”


“Giselle and her kids took care of my Peaches well while I was out of town for 2 days. When I picked Peaches up, she wanted to stay with them longer, which indicated that she enjoyed her time with them. I will definitely leave my Peaches with them again in the future.”


“Our dog Ernie had a great time with Bob while we were out of town! You can tell Bob really loves what he does, and it comes through in how he cares for the dogs he watches. We also loved getting videos of Ernie! Thanks, Bob!”


““Karin took excellent care of my dog, Panther, for 5 days! She was incredibly responsive, sending frequent updates and pictures. Panther had a blast under her care and returned home happy. Highly recommended!””


“Kimberly did an excellent job taking care of Sophie! We could tell that she came home well rested and all of her needs were taken care of while we were gone. Kimberly and her family treated Sophie like she was part of their family! Provided timely updates with photos. Would not hesitate to have Sophie stay with them anytime we need to find her an extended stay.”


“Danielle was wonderful! She sent us pictures the whole time, as well as text updates. She gave our fur baby all of the love she needed while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her!”


About: My fiancé Andy and I grew up with dogs but since we don't have our own yet we dog sit often. Our regular charges include Frank, Mozey, Pep, Boba, Loki, Beau, and Daisy. We just purchased a home with a yard that backs to a huge park so we are ready for more dog visitors! We are very active and love to play, can't wait to see what games your pup loves. Andy works from home full time. I work 9-5 at the office and will bombard your dog with love all evening. Our weekends are very open. We like to provide constant companionship to our dog visitors so one of us will likely be home with them at all times. Our yard is not fully fenced yet so we have extended leashes for yard time. Couch and bed cuddles guaranteed, unless your pup would like us to build them a cozy nest somewhere.

About: We have a half acre, fenced in yard. Perfect for zoomies and activity to make sure your dog is kept active and not cooped up all day. We work from home so we will be able to attend to the needs of your dog. They will be let out plenty of times to run around our fenced in back yard. We have two dogs, a labradoodle and a corgi who love to play. Our fenced in back yard is the perfect size to allow them to get a full exercise every day.

“My usual sitter had an emergency & had to cancel on us. I found Rover.com & Edgar came to our rescue!! He was extremely accommodating with last minute plans for our two pups!! He has a beautiful fenced back yard & family that also helped to make our fur babies feel more at home. I could tell from update photos & messages daily that my boys were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Edgar & fam ❤️”


“Rosie's love and care for our two dogs, Charlie and Peanut, was excellent. We boarded our ten-year-old special-needs dog (Peanut) and our fourteen-year-old senior dog (Charlie) for a few days with Rosie. She was able to administer medications and handle the different needs of each dog. We also greatly appreciate the help of Rosie's little dog, Bella and her daughter, Ruby. We have already booked a second boarding stay with Rosie due the confidence we have in her care for our doggies. Hooray!”


“Excellent! This was the first time Eleanor watched our dog and cat (for 8 nights!). I was a little nervous initially about about how my pets would act with Eleanor's pets because mine have only ever been with eachother, but we did a dog meet and greet first and her pups are the sweetest, and were friendly with my dog. She gave my cat space to acclimate to the new environment, and he also also adjusted well to her home and pets after a few days. I am very glad I trusted Eleanor's pet expertise. Eleanor also sent a daily text update/pics which was great, and was flexible with a last minute schedule change, and always responded to my texts promptly. My pets were well cared for and happy, I will contact her again for our next vacation.”


“Will was extremely accommodating in coordinating drop off and pick up schedules. We had done a meet-and-greet a few weeks prior and Luka made himself right at home then and when we dropped him off. We will definitely be having him watch Luka again!”


“Lizbeth was amazing! She boarded my boxer for 7 days over the Christmas holiday. She sent lots of Pupdates and kept in very close contact with me. She cared and loved for my dog like it was her own. Lizbeth gave my dog lots of cuddles and love. Also, she went above and beyond with the flexibility of her schedule. I would definitely book with Lizbeth in the future.”


About: I have taken care of my dogs for over 20 years. I also have experience with senior dogs.I also love to walk and play with dogs. I am currently semi-retired and will have plenty of time to play with your dog. I have over 20 years of experience with my own dogs. I have a fenced yard. Your dog will have plenty of room to run around and get plenty of exercise. My home is also a ranch home which is ideal for senior dogs.

“Karen is a gem of a find! She is very good with dogs and is clearly an animal lover. I felt completely comfortable on a recent trip knowing my little guy was with her and her family. She sent me regular updates and great pics. Sorta feels like he has a second home. :)”
