Corrine is amazing! Joey had a great time with her and his furry friends while we were away. It is the 1st time we left Joey with anyone and would not hesitate to bring him back to Corrine.

Hedra takes such good care of our fur babies! He works with each cat and meets them where they are at - our older boy likes lap sitting, while one loves play time, and one is very shy. They adjust well. Which to me means they are comfortable and are in good care!

About: I have cared for puppies, as well as adult dogs and aging dogs. I love them all and they all sense it when I meet them. I am retired, so I have a lot of time and a very flexible schedule. Also, I am up very early in the morning, and like getting an early start. I have a partially fenced yard, so would be more comfortable with your dog n a leash or inside the house if at my home.

Patti stepped in to care for Destiny, as our regular sitter wasn't available when we needed the time away. She was fantastic! Although Destiny was homesick for us, she seemed to be in extremely capable hands with Patti. We loved the photos she shared with us and within one day really got a feeling of who our dog was... After back home , although thrilled to be back with us, think she also kinda missed her temporary placement with Patti. Would definitely recommend her!

Jessica was wonderful with my 13 year old little yorkie mix. Sophie can be a handful (very picky eater and nervous) and Jessica was very patient and loving with her. Sophie was perfectly comfortable in her home and well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again!!

About: Hi! I’m Sarah 🐾 I’ve loved working with dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience with dog walking, hiking, daycare, and basic training support. I’m especially great with high-energy breeds and love making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they need. Whether your pup loves long walks, outdoor adventures, or just some extra company during the day, I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive experience. 🐶💛 I stoped working as an electrician so that I can work with kids and animals, animals are my passion. I loved working at a farm and my favorite is group hikes Safety is my top priority so I treat every pet like my own and keep the space clean and secure. Sticking to their routine is really important to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free.

This was my first time using Rover, and I was nervous about leaving my baby with someone I didn’t know. Luz was there when I dropped Mellow off and she made me feel so much more comfortable by the time I left. She sent me photos and videos of my baby being well taken care of, and that made all doubts go away. Mellow not only ate her food, but extra treats given by Luz and Alessandro, which is not usual for her. After seeing all the pictures and videos I knew I made the right decision in leaving my fur baby with them!

Tom was awesome! Our two large dogs definitely enjoyed their week-long stay with Tom while we went on a family vacation. He was courteous, gentle with the dogs and always responsive via the Rover app and text. I would definitely recommend his services!

About: I am a work from home dog mom and love my German Shorthaired Pointer, Remi. We go to the beach, park and go on neighborhood walks every day. I have the availability and capacity to have another dog to tag along. I have fostered dogs in the past and love helping a dog have a safe and comfortable place to stay! I work from home and take my dog for a walk every few hours or bring her to the beach or the park on my lunch break. Dogs have plenty of toys and comfortable places to relax and play while I work. Remi would love to keep your pup company! I have the room to have your dog set up however they need. If your pup is crate trained, I have a spare one to set up for them with all the comfy things needed to put in it. I have lots of treats and toys for pups to play with and a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood to walk them in.

We had such a wonderful experience! Our Goldendoodle was so well cared for and she absolutely loved playing with their son. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was treated like part of the family. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. We’re so grateful for the loving care and great communication! We will definitely book again!

Carol watched our Hansel for 3 days/2 nights. We were impressed from our initial meet & greet at Carol's neat, organized home. Her demeanor and experience indicated that she would provide excellent care for our pet. We received daily updates including photos that all was well, and Hansel was being his usual sweet self. At pick-up we found our boy happy, and ready to go home - we are confident he had an excellent experience with Carol. We are happy to have Carol as a resource for our future pet sitting needs.

From our initial conversation I felt so comfortable with Jessica. She's very warm, kind and personable and my pup Xerxes enjoyed his time with her so much, he didnt want to leave! I would definitely hire Jessica again and highly recommend her.

Jess is the best and takes care of my dog the way I would. I know he is in great hands when staying with her and I feel completely at ease. This last time she even administered his eye drops without any issues and I’m beyond grateful for her 💗 Chexy can’t wait to see you again!! Thank you 😊

Jessica was great! She took great care of my big guy (95 LB Mastiff/Hound mix) Frankie, taking him on several walks a day as well as making sure he got his daily medication. I received updates everyday that included pictures and videos. Frankie did have some separation anxiety but Jess made sure to spend lots of time with him to make him feel comfortable. Couldn't recommend her more!
