“E.K. was a miracle send. I was in a pinch where my original sitter cancelled last minute (days before I had to leave on a two week trip); all the while I was going through some family issues, and finding a back up for boarding my baby was so stressful. E.K. stepped in to help when needed, and all was as smooth as I could’ve hoped for. She even helped transport him. Definitely took a weight off of my shoulders and very glad I found her. Would definitely use her again.”

About: Welcome to my dog and cat loving household! I understand how important it is to find gentle, dependable care from someone you trust for your furry family member during those times that you just can't have them with you. Having experienced that challenge myself, I decided to join as a sitter so I can provide that reliable, attentive service for those in my community. Having recently retired, my schedule is very flexible to meet your needs. I will also do my best to honor any communication requests that you may have during your pet's stay, from regular updates to photos of your loved one. So, feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have and I look forward to meeting your pet's needs. Being home allows me to provide flexible, attentive, and reliable care, giving pets plenty of time, comfort, and companionship while you're at work or traveling. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide calm, clean and secure home environment with close supervision, plenty of attention and a structured routine. I have a spacious yard where your pet can safely run, play and enjoy plenty of fresh air.
“Great experience with Kyla, it was my first time using the service for my Teddy and I was really nervous to not have him with family who normally watch him and since my daughter was moving same weekend(who normally has watched him) I said let me read reviews and go with it. Kyla kept me informed on Teddy’s progress with pictures and videos and my boy seemed happy to be there. I will use again in future for upcoming trips.”

“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”

“We are so lucky to have Christina & Joshua to watch over our two pups when we go out of town. They live close by and have a huge backyard, plus they take the dogs for plenty of walks even on the rainy days. We have booked twice and plan to set up more services when the time comes.”

Merrionette Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience. Our dog can be a little nervous, but he seemed very comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Sandy sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear he was well cared for and happy. We truly appreciated everything and would absolutely book again.

You and your family were truly wonderful. Thank you so much for embracing my fur baby and making him feel right at home. The constant reassurance, the beautiful pictures, and the updates meant more to me than you know. I could tell he was being loved and well cared for the entire time. You were also incredibly flexible and attentive, which I truly appreciate. I’m so grateful for the care you gave — we will definitely be back! A++++++++

Katherine was great and took really good care of our senior dog, Bentley. She kept us informed during his stay and sent photos, which was super helpful and reassuring, since this was our first time leaving him with a non-family member. He enjoyed his little vacation and came home happy!

Kathleen kept me updated on my fur babies. She took such great care of my dogs and made sure they were both comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and check-ins—it gave me so much peace of mind while being out of state. It’s clear she truly care about the dogs she watches. I would 100% trust Kathleen again and highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter!

Mark was great with answering my questions, and quick to respond to! Mark sent photos of how my dog was doing which I appreciated and made me feel like he was really being taken care of. He was great with my dog and I will not hesitate to ask Mark to watch him again.

Ella did a great job with Winston - a 20 week old puppy. It is not easy to take care of a teething, high-energy puppy. We did not know what to expect as this was the first time Winston was boarded with someone he didn't know for several days/nights. We received frequent updates with pictures. Winston enjoyed playing with her dog and fenced back yard. He didn't want to leave. We will definitely leverage her services in the future.

Rebecca was theeee absolute best!! I'm so glad we found her. She took the best care of our boy and made him sooo comfortable. This was our first time using this service and I'm so glad we did. She is the best and we plan on using just her for our dog in the future!
