“We just picked up our dogs and they’re SO tired! No weird dog smell and they seem so happy. We got pictures daily and loved to see our babes having fun. Very pleased with Rachael and fam and we’ll for sure use them again. 10/10 referring to everyone!”


“Sheri was great. She made sure to send us pictures daily while also making sure our dog got a ton of exercise and attention. Our chocolate lab Daisy and her chocolate lab Sam got along great. She also made sure to clean our dog's ears every day for us since she was having issues with a yeast infection from playing in the ocean. I would recommend her for everybody. ”


“AMAZING experience. My friend who uses rover told me about David, and am I just the luckiest person when I heard he was available to accept Daisy. The perfect duo David and his wife sent me videos and pictures, they kept me updated and just made sure I knew she was okay and felt comfortable with them. I love this app but I will forever check if David is available to watch daisy before anyone else ever. Rover is the way to go. And David should be your first choice.”


“Emily & Kenneth took wonderful care of our dog Maximus! They were experienced, professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We got daily pictures and updates of our smiling boy as he got to play with their dog, Olive. We absolutely recommend Emily & Kenneth and will be keeping them in mind for all our future needs!”


“Yvonne is very kind and caring person. She took care of our dog with love I can feel. Thank you so much, Yvonne!!! We will definitely contact you again when we need it. Highly recommend!!!”


“Franklin & family were amazing and my two dogs had a blast at their house. They enjoyed running around their large fenced yard. We were given regular updates several times a day, along with lots of pictures. I would definitely recommend boarding your dogs here.”


“This was our first longer stay with Holly, and she was a great carer for Beau all throughout! She sent regular updates with photos which really added to our peace of mind throughout the whole trip. She also took him for exciting and diverse experiences which we are sure Beau enjoyed very much. We would definitely ask Holly to watch Beau in the future and truly appreciate her lovingness and professionalism.”


“I was blown away by April's positive attitude and dedication to caring for my golden retriever. She meticulously created a safe, pack-like environment where the dogs felt at home, and the areas were exceptionally clean. Even more impressive were her plans to enhance her already wonderful outdoor space. As a side note, April is a certified dog trainer. Shortly after dropping off my dog and running errands in town, I noticed her diligently and patiently leash-training my dog during a walk, as my GPS took me back past her location. April never mentioned this task on Rover or in person; she simply did it on her own time, free of charge, without boasting. Her quiet integrity and humility are extraordinarily impressive. Best Rover experience so far!”


“Britt did a great job taking care of Mocha! He had some special needs that she attended to with ease and it reflected her experience. He came home healthy, happy and rested.”


“Sheri and Bill were wonderful with Annie and Freddie. They sent me wonderful pictures and videos of their time together and spoiled my fur babies. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dogs were safe and being treated like a member of their family. I highly recommend them for the care of your furry family member and will definitely be using them again.”


“Tera was amazing! She treated my dog like her own. She took her on lots of walks and sent me tons of updates and photos. She has a lot of space in her home and yard and she even took her on a little adventure down to the river to watch the sea otters. She was on top of her medication regime and diet. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times and worked with me. My dog is all tuckered out now!! Would love to book with her again”


“A wonderful pet sitter! Very communicative and warm. She was able to accommodate our last minute request, sent us updates and photos of our doggy while we were away, which was very reassuring, and she was flexible and understanding when our ferry delayed our pickup time by almost an hour. We would recommend her and be happy to have her care for our pup again in the future.”



“We love leaving our fur baby with Danielle. She is so professional and communicates so well with us while our dog is with her. Anyone looking for a sitter she is your person.”


“This kind lady is a doggie magnet. Our sometimes aggressive dog was calm and at ease in Fabricia's care. She sent us photos during our vacation showing him having sun baths and loving his life. You don't need to be nervous, as in our case we'd never left him with unknown people. She was wonderful and I recommend her highly!”


“We have an anxious 9yo Boston with Cushings who can be handful. Linda was amazing! Before his first sleepover, Linda met us at a location so both Mugsy & I felt reassured & safe. The anxious owner (myself) was very appreciative of her updates - texts & photos during Mugsy's first visit. When I picked him up the next day, Mugsy was calm & didn't show any stress or need to leave right away. Linda, thank you for making this process so easy & relaxing!”


“We left our 12 month old golden retriever with Monica for a quick weekend trip. Our pup is our entire world so finding good care for her was so stressful. But Monica made it so easy. She reassured me of how her entire stay would go and listened to all my “first time mom” concerns. She sent so many updates, pictures and videos. She 1000% loved our pup like she was her own. We will go back to Monica’s time and time again.”


About: I have many years of experience home and pet sitting, dog walking, and dog training. I currently have one cat, indoor plants, and a garden so I will happily tend to whatever your home needs. I will treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care. I host in my home as well - it is just my husband and I. Your pet must be good with cats (I have one very chill one year old cat). I am happy to negotiate rates for multiple pets and longer stay bookings. I work remotely and have an extremely flexible schedule so I can be available at almost any time. I can house sit and pet sit overnight as well. I will always follow however you would like your pets cared for in your home. I am willing to drive them in my car to parks and trails for long walks. I can also host in my home - We do not have a fenced yard but we have 10 acres of land for leashed walks.

“My Kingsley is getting better and better with sociaizing with other dogs and getting better with a sitter. Kingsley did not even hesitate when he saw Nicole again when I dropped him off which is a really good sign! It just means that he enjoys his time with her and he gets treated well! Again, excellent experience for my pooch! He is so happy and super tired and that is a very good sign! Thanks Nicole! I love the customized report card! It is something I look forward to when I open his bag 😁 Thanks and see you again soon!”

“Cannot recommend and thank Halley enough for her caring for our pup on super short notice. She was prompt, attentive, and we could tell our pup had a fantastic time. She kept us updated on activities and sent loads of pictures and videos to help keep our minds at ease. We will be calling on Halley for our next pet sitting needs.”
