We have a lot of space for your baby to run around. We take them for walks 4-5 times a day. We cage our doggies at night. There’s lots of space to play and we have an open backyard where they may play.

Absolutely wonderful! I can’t say enough good about Whitney. She cared for both our dogs at the same time: they have completely different personalities and energy levels, and she navigated their needs beautifully. She won our shy dog over in record time and had my puppy who was missing me comfortable and playing with ease.

Whitney was a lifesaver! She stepped up to care for our pups during a holiday weekend when we had last minute issues with our previous plans. Our pups were well taken care of, and she was always prompt with responding with updates. We came home to some happy dogs!

Whitney stayed at my house for 7 days with my older cat and younger pup. She did a wonderful job! She was in constant contact and even picked up medication my pup needed from the vet for me. She left my house in better shape than when she got here! Would definitely use Whitney again!

Once again, Whitney did an amazing job watching our dog. We were able to go on a week long trip with no worries. I can't express enough how grateful we are.

Before booking, please state any medical issues your pet has, and if your pet is aggressive around other animals, or towards humans. Also, your pet must be updated on it’s required vaccinations (Distemper, rabies, DHPP, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza) to avoid the possibility of me bringing these diseases to our doggies. I would also like to know any other concerns, such as anxiety, depression, or psychological differences.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
