Kerry took excellent care of our shy rescue pup, Samson. She was very communicative and provided lots of photos. Samson will be hanging out with Kerry again soon!

Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!

It was my first time using Rover. Alexis was fantastic at watching my dog, Prince! She provided daily updates with pictures and videos, and it was obvious he was having a great time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. Definitely a much better experience than a traditional doggy hotel. I will be using her service again. Also, I highly recommend her.

Rhea and her husband were absolutely incredible! They were so accommodating and communicative throughout the entire sitting. They sent constant picture updates, kept me informed about potty breaks, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure my pup was comfortable. Most impressively, they always responded in under a minute—such peace of mind. This was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover, and I’m so glad we connected. They’re true professionals who are clearly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care.

Christina and her family provided Tootsie with exceptional care. Despite being out of town with limited cell service, Christina still sent updates. Her patience and love was greatly appreciated. This has been our first successful rover experience with a honest host who only accepted one client at a time. Tootsie was happy and has been napping peacefully since returning home. THANK YOU!! Would highly recommend to others!

About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).

Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.

I would like to just say thank you. This was my first time boarding my son dog and was anxious beyond words. She made sure my pup was loved and cared for. I was kept updated daily and some of the pictures she took will be kept forever that’s how happy he was. Tofu came home very content and healthy. Kanade went above and beyond with my pup and I am beyond grateful.

This was our second time boarding with Emma. She was fantastic caring for my dog for 3 weeks across two boards. The first time I had to pivot after another sitter canceled last minute and she was flexible for a meet-and-greet before my dog’s stay. My dog was so happy to see Emma again! Emma communicated promptly, is incredibly sweet and keeps me at ease with regular updates, photos and thoughtful questions. We can’t wait to board with her next!

She sent daily updates and paid close attention to his care instructions, which included daily medications. I would definitely rebook with her for future trips.
