“Patricia was amazing with Maxx! We met her before boarding, and right away I felt confident he’d be in good hands. While we were away, she sent regular updates and pictures, which was so reassuring. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thanks again, Patricia!”
“Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.”
“Haley was warm, patient, attentive and responsible when she took care of our dogs. That she had a Golden Retriever puppy made my dogs love her even more. I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for our dogs again.”
“Kim was very loving of our Ruby! She sent us pictures and let us know how things were going while we were away. Ruby had a great vacation playing on Kim’s farm and being loved on by her family. We very much appreciated that we didn’t need to worry about Ruby while we were gone! Will use Kim again and again, every time.”
“My dog warmed up to Autumn right away, and Autumn excitedly welcomed her into her home. She took her on long walks even when the weather was not very nice. She kept in contact with me throughout the day to keep me posted on how my dog was doing. They became good buddies.”
“Our Corgi had the best stay. Believe the other reviews, we made it halfway home and our puppy was out cold from playing with her dogs the whole time. She sent pictures while we were gone which was so nice to get during our time away. Would definitely recommend and will be back!”
“Highly recommend Nancy!! She ensured both pups had so much fun and did the things they enjoyed the most. Jack and Finn made 2 new friends that were so welcoming as well. Nancy was the perfect match for our pups and she will be for yours too!!”
“Alicia was responsive and took great care of Harry while we were away. He came home happy and tired, which is a nice combo. :) It was nice to know he was in a house with other pets and kiddos to play with.”
“Aly was amazing with my 1 year old dog. It was the first time I left him with a sitter and traveled since getting him and I felt so comfortable during my trip knowing he was safe and happy. He was very active, going on walks and playing and he had so much fun with her dog. She kept me updated with pics and it looked like he was having the time of his life! He came back to me exhausted and happy, I couldn’t ask for a smoother experience with a dog sitter. I highly recommend Aly to anyone considering booking her!”
About: I have been a pet lover for many years! I enjoy helping out, taking them for walks benefits both of us! Emotional care and play are just as important. I currently work full time from home. I enjoy sitting outside and working in the garden, incorporating play time into our outdoor time is always a must. I have a large unfenced yard, with 3 fur friends of my own to play and show boundaries! I am good at implementing rules or training goals you have for your pet!
About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.
About: We have been pet sitting for friends and colleagues for 2 years so thought why not join Rover and do more! Our clients love my family and we love their pets so it makes perfect sense. I have 4 kids, a small dog and two cats and my small pets just hide if a visiting pet is too much for them otherwise they don't get bothered or bother anyone else, human or pet! I work from home and I have 4 kids who love cats and dogs and love to help out with the dogs that we already provide services for. We are trusted with hideaway keys to homes to let dogs out and we run them in fenced in yards to burn energy. Then we make sure they have food and water and kennel them if applicable before we leave. In our house, visiting pets are watched over by all members of the family. Sometimes we buy them their own special toy to play with. We make sure they eat and get any meds they might need.
“Ali was so great with our dog! She was flexible and easy to work with and made sure she knew a lot about our dog’s routines before our trip. We loved knowing he was being well taken care of while we were gone! We would highly recommend her and plan to check with her again the next time we’re gone! You and your pets will love her too!”
“Jessica was wonderful. This was our first time boarding our 4 yr old lab. She took pics each day, walks, and allowed our dog to be a part of their family. My girl came home happy and healthy.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as early as I can remember. I grew up with and absolutely love both. I have 2 cats of my own and a very energetic golden retriever puppy. I have skills from 4-H with basic dog training, and I am used to administering medications with my cats and puppy. I have been training my puppy from the beginning so I have basic training skills when it comes to dogs. I am a registered nurse that works three 12 hour shifts a week. My calendar will be updated based on my varying schedule. When I’m not working, I love being outside with my dog. I am always willing to help the days I don’t work because having healthy and happy animals makes me happy. Since recently purchasing our first home, the main priority is getting that fence installed for my golden girl! Hoping to provide your pets with comfort as their humans maintain their busy lives!
About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.
