Star Sitter | Dog Daycare & Walks

Pet care experience

Hi! We are Star Sitters here on Rover, with 6 years of professional pet care and 18 with our own animals. Someone is always here in our calm, safe, and dog friendly home so your dog can spend the day with company instead of being home alone. We do live with our loveable Boston Terrier, Gus, and we are often found hiking on dog friendly trails on the weekend or spending time at the lake. We are very active, enjoy being outside and think dogs should be too - Gus has a lot of energy so daily excercise is key already here. I work as a professional planner and Scott works from home and we are both free on weekends with flexible schedules. We spend a lot of love and time on Gus, who, like us, loves being around other dogs. We would be happy to meet you and your doggy in advance so you can get to know us.

Scott is wonderful with my slightly crazy poodle. It was only the second walk and Murphy recognized him from the window and about lost his mind in excitement. He has come back happy and exhausted after just a half hour walk so I know he's getting a very good and quick paced walk. It's so nice to be able to entrust him to someone who my dog clearly enjoys and is giving him what he needs.

Emily and Scott were great. They were flexible and easy to coordinate with in what would be best for my pups. They were also responsive and I was happy there were patient with my trio.

Bailey had a great time (again) with Emily, Scott & Gus. It's comforting to know she is in good hands while we are away. Thank you so much for taking good care of her.
