“Cleo took great care of our kittens and they loved hanging out with her! She fed them with well-made dry food, helped clean up litters and played with our cats with toys and lasers. She also took several adorable videos and photos that we loved so much. We are super appreciated Cleo’a visit and will definitely invite her to coming in the future.”
“Molly was incredibly proactive, warm, and communicative in taking care of our Hecate and Loki, being willing to meet them first because Hecate's a scaredy cat and so we wanted her to be comfortable with them, giving thorough and consistent updates, and made them feel relaxed while we were away! So lucky to have met Molly and Hecate and Loki look forward to future visits!”
“Jessica was great with our dog, Margot! I was looking for someone who had experience with reactive dogs and stumbled upon her! She pays close attention and makes sure your pets are safe! After she left I got an extensive report card for Margot with plenty of pictures. I would highly recommend Jessica! I definitely feel like Margot is in good hands when I’m gone!”
About: About us 👋 Hey we’re Doug & Catherine and we’ve professionally fostered and taken care of dogs for the past 5 years. We also both grew up with dogs at home. We love that we get the ability to give dogs a safe and loving home (even if it’s just for a day!) We are comfortable leash training, helping dogs through any trauma and dealing with dogs who are timid around other animals or humans. We also don’t mind big or small! ✨BEFORE BOOKING PLEASE NOTE ✨ • If you’re a new client we kindly ask that you request one doggy daycare before booking any long term boarding to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. We have many regulars who we’ve built strong relationships with and want to make sure we can do the same for any new pups too. • We only look after one rover dog at a time and also have no dogs of our own. So yours will be the only one in our home. Our schedule ⏰ We both work from home and have very flexible schedules so walks and potty breaks are all part of our daily routine and can be done whenever needed. We often go to parks morning and night to give your dog space to run and enjoy the outdoors. Our apartment 🏡 We have a large ground floor apartment with a backyard to give your dog lots of indoor and outdoor space. We have dog blankets, toys, yummy treats and a crate to make you dog feel right at home
“Megan was incredible, very attentive to my three babies, administered daily medication without issue, and even swept around the litter box for me. I will definitely be booking with them again if I have the chance to. Thank you so much Megan!”
“Svenja was wonderful. Cannot recommend highly enough. Here we were, in Manhattan with our little Josie (miniature dachshund) for her first trip to the big city! She was absolutely freaked out by everything. So we needed to find someone quickly who could deal with our distraught pup while we attended a dinner. Svenja responded quickly, was flexible, immediately helpful, a calming force. Josie completely relaxed around her. Svenja sent us updates through the dinner. I probably needed more calming than Josie! We will continue to use Svenja to watch Josie when we’re in the city. She was great. Highly recommend.”
“Olivia was fantastic! It was my first time leaving since I got my cat and Olivia completely put my mind at ease. She was great at communicating, sent thorough updates and tons of pictures. She also went above and beyond with caring for him even when he played rougher than usual. I 100% recommend Olivia as a sitter and am super grateful to her for taking such good care of my guy!”
“I have used Rover for years and Mia was the most punctual, responsive, and detail-oriented sitter I have ever had! I really appreciated how she took notes during her meet and greet with my cat. Would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Adrianna was AMAZING. This was our first time away following a medical issue with one of our cats and Adrianna was incredible with taking our concerns seriously. She was calm, patient, and our cats love her!”
“Riya was great with my cat, Hugo! She was prompt, communicative and organized and regularly sent pictures or other updates. Hugo was in great hands and I will definitely use Riya again!”
“Erik did an excellent job caring for my cat, Posie while I was away! I was not stressed at all — he handled everything! Would definitely recommend Erik to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Will use him again in the future.”
“We absolutely love Natalia. I know our cat is always in great care, as well as our home. She is so attentive to detail and goes above and beyond for our Moose. We will have her time and time again! Can’t say enough good things.”
“Angela was wonderful. She took amazing care of Jack, made sure he was fed, played with him and gave him some love, and ensured the litter box was clean. We will rebook her anytime we go away next!”
“Nastasia was nothing short of amazing. She took excellent care of my two kitties and I could tell they really loved her! I 100% trust her to watch my cats any time I am out of town in the future. Thanks Nastasia!! 😊”
“Corbett went above and beyond to make us and our cat comfortable with her. We felt sure that our fur baby was in good hands and will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a cat sitter.”
