“This was our first time using Rover and Sylvie was the best! We have a high energy puppy and she handled her with no complaints. It was clear Millie was having a blast every day in her yard and pool which made us feel even better being away. We even had a cancelled flight so had to extend her stay a night and it was no problem. Thank you Sylvie!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Eddie always has the best time with Tami and her family! He comes home happy and shows so much excitement the next time we head their way as we are driving to their home. Best choice!!”
“Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.”
“Very satisfied with the care my dog received while we were away. Communication was quick and seamless before and during the stay. I would recommend anyone to her & will definitely be rebooking again in the future!”
“Spud had a great time with Enas and her family! She sent pictures and updates every day, made sure to keep his things in good order, and was accommodating to my flight schedule! We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Magda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! She shared tons of photos and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of time outside with Penny, taking her on walks and doing activities to keep her happy and engaged. Penny can definitely be a handful at times, but Magda was so patient, gentle, and kind with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“I had Julie watch our very shy yellow lab. We are planning a vacation and I need our dog to get use to Julies house. Julie and her husband were really wonderful, we did a meet and greet first and then a over night stay. They have a completely fenced yard, couches have covers on them for a dog to sit on and a baby gate to prevent a dog from accidentally going out the front door.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and other family members dogs for years. I would take them out every hour or so (or when it’s needed) I would feed them on how the owner would want me to feed them if they have a schedule set, I would play fetch with them if they want attention. I’m currently unemployed so I have all of the time to help with others with their pets and I do not mind going by the schedule you make if it’s needed:) I have a fenced back yard but it’s opened for the driveway, I have two chihuahuas but they’re a harmless, I have a son that has a disability that is careful around dogs.
“Ana was great with our dog. She was taking good care of her. Always sending us pictures and videos. We were at peace when we knew our dog is in safe hands. Will book her again for sure.”
“Kasha was wonderful. She listened to my concerns with my “special needs” dog. Being an overly protective owner to my blind and diabetic boy, it reassured me that Kasha was the right one to take care of my pups. Both of my dogs were well cared for and loved. It was wonderful getting the updates and photos.”
“Dawn was fantastic! Extremely friendly and I knew my dog was in good hands. I felt very reassured the entire time I was away, she gave constant updates as well as pictures/videos of my dog. I definitely and highly recommend her as a dog sitter. I will be using her services from now forward. ”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”
“This is our second time with Vanessa due to an emergency and last minute reservations. She was accommodating and was willing to help any way she could. Our dog just loves her and we can tell he gets very spoiled lol. She is so attentive and loving. She’s the only one I would leave my dog with. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets like family Book with Vanessa. Thank you again Vanessa! 😃”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“After our first experience with Tammy, we will definitely book with her again. She is a 'dog person' and loves them all. I appreciate her level of knowledge concerning dog care and feel confident about leaving my little one with her. Thank you”
“Grace was so wonderful and absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so flexible when I wanted to set up a meet and greet with her dog. She sent regular updates over our stay, pictures, and videos. Arya had so much fun playing with Bella and being able to relax afterward. I felt that my dog was safe and Grace was easily contactable whenever I messaged her. I will definitely be reaching out to Grace again whenever I need a sitter for my dog and I would definitely recommend her!”

Ana was amazing! She watched our pup when we came in out of town for a wedding. He was such a happy little guy & so cozy with her when we came to pick him up. She was very sweet and even worked with our schedule around the wedding to make things work last minute. Thank you so much, Ana! We appreciate you & Junior misses you!
