“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”


“Maegan and her family were great sitters to my pug Sofia! I was sent plenty of pictures and I know she was cared for and loved dearly during my long 12 night trip away. Thank you for caring for her!”


“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”


“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”


“Sylva and Mark were fantastic and took great care of my pup! They sent pictures everyday to show how happy she was and gave her a lot of loving and cuddles!”


“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”


“Stephanie and her whole family was sweet with my dog. She gave daily updates and even sent videos/pics I highly recommend if you're in a pinch and have to go out of state via airport!”


“Amanda was absolutely amazing with our anxious pup. She was attentive and communicative and we felt totally at ease knowing our dog was in her capable care.”


“I had a last min trip coming up and had to find a sitter who offers boarding. To me, the location and also the house setting where my dog will be staying were very important. I found Catherine who lives 2 miles away from me. Met her and the entire family the next day for meet and greet and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Catherine was kind, reliable, and super attentive. She sent regular updates and cute photos, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I’ll definitely be booking with Catherine again! Thank you.”


“Jayla was so great! She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful updates. I felt so comfortable leaving our pet with her. You could tell she really treated our dog like he was a part of her family. We will definitely be rebooking with Jayla in the future. Highly recommend!”


“A last minute request and Emily was responsive and flexible! Really saved our weekend plans! She gives multiples updates with his walks and pictures showing him having a great stay. Can’t recommend Emily enough!”


“My dog loved staying with Serhii and Olesia. Since this was her first time staying with them, they sent me lots of photos. I knew she was having a good time because she had a big smile in her face. She came home calm and happy. I will definitely be sending her to stay with them again!”

“Very happy after Cache took care of my dog this weekend. She is a good communicator, located in a convenient location and has a nice apartment. The most important thing about finding the right sitter or walker is trust and I already feel that after just one experience! Def will book again.”



“Ophelia's stay with Maggie was terrific! Ophelia is our pandemic pup who just turned a year old in July and she has NEVER been alone (or away from us) for more than an hour or two. We were very nervous to leave her, especially since we were going to be away for 2 weeks. I chose Maggie on Rover based on the number of great reviews she had as well as the number of repeat customers she had. Ophelia is a Cavapoo (11 pounds) and I was concerned as there were a number of dogs staying with Maggie and many of her customers seemed to be larger dogs. But Maggie was great! She regularly sent us photos and updates which helped to alleviate my fears. I will admit that the first day, Ophelia looked terrified in the photo she sent, and Maggie admitted that Ophelia was understandably nervous, but Maggie assured us that Ophelia would adjust. Maggie spent extra alone time with Ophelia to help her get acclimated and within a day or two Ophelia was running with the pack! To help ourselves feel a little better about leaving Ophelia for so long, we referred to her stay with Maggie as "sleepaway camp" - and by the time we picked her up, I think it was a fair summary of her stay. And as a bonus, Ophelia had a "spa day" the day she was picked up - they bathed her and trimmed her nails. This was a very nice touch. We will definitely recommend and use Maggie again!”


“Emer was a real pro. Picked up Cheerio and returned him happy and healthy. I am one of her first customers and I would certainly use her in the future. She is a true "dog person".”


“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”


“This is a bit late, but we booked Jessica to watch our Beagle! She was absolutely fantastic! You could tell by the pics she opened both her heart and home to our pup and made his experience very enjoyable”


“I cannot say enough good things about how Emmaly and her family welcomed Mollie into their home. We have a spoiled, food begging/stealing older dog and they dealt with her just perfectly. It made our trip better knowing she was in such good care.”


About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.

“Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!”
