“Victoria was exactly what we were hoping for when finding a new dog sitter. She was extremely accommodating with all our schedule needs and took amazing care of our two dogs (one senior dog and one puppy). We couldn’t have asked for more peace of mind when traveling with Victoria watching our pups! Highly recommend.”
“Kymberly was wonderful! She took my booking at the last minute and then worked with us as we had schedule changes. She was prompt with communicating and provided regular updates on our dogs. They were well taken care of and we'll use her services again!”
“If I could, I would give 10 stars. She is a very sweet person first and when I dropped off my cats I knew I didnt have to worry, the enviorment felt safe and warm. She will give the same amount of love and care to your pet as much as if it were her own.”
“Amanda is an amazing person, and an amazing pet sitter. I found her through Rover, at a desperate time in my life, and I needed a person to watch my 2 toy poodles. She was compassionate from the first moment, even though she didn't even know me, and helped me out immediately. She watched my babies, and showed them so much love!! She was sending me pictures constantly, keeping me updated, taking them for walks and taking great care of them. In the midst of everything happening in my life, she gave me peace, that my 2 babies were well taken care of. It was priceless. My dogs also loved being around her children. And when she wasn't available any longer, she went above and beyond, helping me secure another sitter. She is a genuinely good person with a big heart, who deeply cares for animals. I'm so glad to have met her, I cannot praise her enough. Needless to say, she's the first person I'll contact whenever I need a sitter again, and I highly recommend her! Amanda, thank you for everything. ❣❣❣”
“First time with this sitter and it was a real pleasure to meet them and have them watch our dog Rocco. Since Rocco doesn’t have the freedom to run around outside it was great that they had a large fenced in backyard. Rocco seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with the the Whitney family and I am sure we will have them watch him again in the future.”
“Amazing experience! I have a very shy shar-pei, so I was concerned about leaving her. Nicole put my mind at ease and treated Ginger as if she were her own! I was thrilled to see how quickly Ginger opened up to Nicole through text and picture messages. Nicole was always the first to contact me, which I appreciated! Nicole also kept Ginger on her regular food and potty schedule; helped Ginger with her walking and socialization skills, and even took her to the beach! I couldn't be happier!”
“Feel absolutely blessed to have Ashley watch our dog for us when we are out of town. Our dog feels right at home at her house every time which says so much about the care Ashley gives him!”

“Jessi is the best sitter on Rover! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and took such great care of our baby. I loved the updates and pictures to reassure this nervous dog mama! Jessie was also flexible with us on our dates when weather caused us to cancel part of our trip. Highly recommend!!”
“Mason was so kind and helpful with Storm even giving me recommendations for toys and feeders that Storm showed preference to. I was a little nervous to leave Storm with someone but Mason eased my concerns and I know Storm will have good, loving company if I ever need a sitter again!”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cared them since childhood, have a passion for animals, and my friendly pup would love a playmate, your pet gets family level care every time.

In my home, your pet will enjoy fresh water, feeding, walks, playtime, snuggles, and a loving, safe environment that feels like their own every time.
“If I could give Jenna and Philip more than 5 stars, I would! My pup had the best time, and I loved the updates Jenna provided me! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to care for Rango while I was away for a few days. 100% recommend!”
“Haylea was so awesome with our fur baby. She sent updated pictures while we were away. Our Lexie was so loved and spoiled. I highly recommend her if you want someone who is trustworthy and loving towards your pet.”
“10/10 would recommend and plan on using Crissie to watch our dog again. With one day’s notice she reached out and could not have been more communicative and pleasant to deal with. She sent us pictures, updates and kept us reassured that our boy was in good hands. She was flexible in terms of pick up and drop off tones and was overall a pleasure to use as an option for boarding. Thanks, Crissie!”

Crissie is a exceptional furbaby caregiver. From the start, she was very attentive to listening to our needs for our furbaby while in her care. She assured us that she was qualified to deliver and loved interacting with furbabies. And deliver, she did! She made sure she kept us informed of how our furbaby was adjusting to his new environment while we were away from us through messages, photos and video clips. This type of communication made us feel at ease, seeing that our little furbaby boy was enjoying his time with Crissie and Booker her dog, who is such a gentle spirited sweetheart. If you are looking for someone who is kind, considerate and cares about your pet's well being then look no futher as Crissie and Booker are perfect for the job🤗. She will help you feel that your furbaby will be in good hands while you are away from them. By the way, now when I say " lets go see Crissie and Booker, right away our little furbaby wags his tail and sprints towards the door with such excitement 😆. Seeing Gustavo show such excitement just mentioning going to visit Crissie and Booker assured me that he was well loved and cared for while in her care. Thank you Crissie and Booker for providing top-notched care for our little boy, Gustavo. We are looking forward to our next visit with you guys!🤗😺
Amanda and her family warmly welcomed our sweet Schnoodle, Harley, into their home. They played with her and took her on walks all the while continuing to update us with pictures and comments of how things were going! We would absolutely feel comfortable leaving our dog with Amanda again.
