Pepper staying with Tasha gives us peace of mind when ever we need to go out of town. This time around we had a death in the family and had a last minute trip. Tasha was very kind to allow a last minute booking like that. When Pepper gets back home we know she’s been cared for. She also has the opportunity to play outside with other pups and get her exercise, as well as down time and cuddles with the family. I definitely recommend stays with Tasha!

Carey was an amazing sitter! She was responsive, open, and very attentive to my “Velcro-dog” that requires attention all the time. She updated me with pictures during my time away, and her whole family was very kind and loving to him. I absolutely will be booking with her in the future!

Our doggie was very happy at Olivia’s place. Frequent updates and photos and videos showed her playing and relaxing. SOOO much better than being stuck in a cubicle at the kennel!

Donna and Calvin are a wonderful couple to entrust with our fur babies. Lots of room to run, walks on the trails, and tons of snuggles. Our boys enjoyed their stay and we were confident that they were well cared for.

Savannah was great! She is so sweet and good with animals. She gave my high energy Australian Shepherd puppy lots of enrichment, and he had a lot of fun. She also gave my cat a safe quiet space so she was comfortable during her stay as well. She was also very responsive and sent plenty of updates and photos, so I knew my animals were in good hands. I would highly recommend Savannah, and I would definitely book again!

About: Your furry friends will have a blast during our time together. I will provide top-notch care while making sure your pup is happy, safe and more importantly, comes home tired! I take the dogs on multiple walks daily, walk around Sugarhouse Park and spend lots of time at the off-leash dog park at Fairmont Park. Your pups will have a blast playing with me and my little pug, Potato. I will send frequent updates/videos/picture of your furry friend so that you feel close to them and don’t miss them too much while you’re away! I am also able to administer any medications that may needed. I am able to host your dog at my apartment or stay at your house to make things more convenient to you!

Allie always keeps in contact, she is open to schedule changes . She sent me videos and pictures daily. She took such good care of my baby boy, Tucker. He wasn’t completely potty trained and she was willing to work with me. He had the best time with her and her pups. She was willing to help me in a great time of need without any questions. She is very responsive. Her home is so comfortable and as soon as I met her and her sweet pups I knew Tucker would be safe and well cared for!! Thank you Allie..

About: You can trust me to take excellent care of your pet! As well as owning my own pets most of my life (dogs, cats, ferret, birds, rabbits, etc.), I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-veterinary medicine. I have pet-sat for several friends and clients, volunteered at shelters, worked at veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and for a professional dog walking company. You can rest easy as your pet will be safe in my care. I follow directions well and get the details right! Why I love dog walking and sitting: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born. My first dog, Chief, helped raise me! Since then, I have owned a dog most of my life. Some have called me the "dog-whisperer". I have a pretty good perception of dogs and connect very easily with most. My last dog, Wendell, was a 150 lb. mastiff whom I adopted when he was 4.5 years old. He had never been socialized and was scared of most people, so in the six years we were together, I gained a lot of first-hand experience working through behavioral issues in a very large and strong breed. Our current dog is Lucy, a happy-go-lucky bull terrier who is deaf. She loves every living being! I’m also comfortable taking care of cats and other pets. My experience administering medication: I've given lots of oral meds and various ointments, eye drops, ear drops, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible. I’m typically available any day of the week and can do early mornings and late evenings if needed. Let me know your needs and I will do my best to accommodate! We have a secure, fenced yard, a doggie door, and a covered back patio with doggie beds perfect for lounging in the sun or shade. We also have a friendly bull terrier who will happily keep your dog company! We can easily keep your dog in a separate room while we are away from the house if you prefer. Lucy’s dad/my significant other, Pedro, also lives here and also loves animals.

Raquel was great! Our dog loved hanging with Raquel and her family. Nice big fenced yard for our dog to run in. Another bonus was all the updates with pics of our pet while we were away. I would highly recommend Raquel to watch your four legged family member.

Carey was the absolute best dog sitter I could ever ask for!! She was so so helpful and patient and made me feel so at ease taking care of my high-energy German Shepherd, Lady. It’s always a bit nerve-racking to leave your dog with someone new, and especially so when your dog is a handful like my Lady! But Carey truly went above and beyond my expectations, and even when Lady had some frustrating anxiety issues, Carey took care of it without complaint, which seriously meant the world to me. She also sent me lots of photos every day and kept me super updated!! Book Carey for your next dog sitter and you will be so glad you did!!

I should start off by saying this was an emergency last minute booking that Faith was able to accommodate! She made things so smooth and heart felt; within 24 hours she allowed me to visit her residence to get a feel for where my lil man 🐕 would be staying. I could tell she would be very attentive to him. Over the next 2 weeks she stayed up-to-date with me constantly, sending a pic or 2 each day and kind words to reflect how things were going. I had no worries at all! I let her know that I would be a tad late picking him up on the pick up day, and she kindly understood and was excited to see things through. I will most definitely be booking with her again!!

What a great experience! This is my first time using Rover. Laine and her housemate were such sweeties to my big shepherd! Firstly she's a great communicator really responsive and clear. She did a great job of helping me orient to the platform and also to introduce our dogs. She asked really good inappropriate questions that made me feel reassured. She was thinking of everything. Such patience and ease. Her set up is just perfect for a dog because there's great big glass windows and you can see everything going on in the "play yard" everything's clean and lots of things for dogs to enjoy. And they seem pretty relaxed about having the dogs lounge with them and playing with them and it looked like my dog was having an absolute blast! Usually when I pick up my dog after being away she is like a rodeo horse so excited to see me! I think in this case she had so much fun she was OK with staying! I can't recommend Laine highly enough! Oh and did I mention that she did my booking last minute when I was filling in for a coworker! She's just great!
