“Chloe is AMAZING; she took such great care of my boy. He was happy when I got home, so I knew he liked her too. I got fantastic updates, which made me feel at ease.”

“I was very nervous as a first time Rover user and so happy I found Emily! She asked detailed questions about my dogs care and habits during our initial meet and greet which put me at ease, sent photo updates during her stay where he seemed very happy / comfortable with her and came home to a clean place. Would definitely book again!”

Shannon S.

“Elizabeth was awesome! We have already booked her for an additional four stays! One of our pups isn't very trusting and tends to bark and lunge at new people. When Elizabeth came to meet them, she didn't even flinch. She remained calm and let Kona get adjusted which is exactly what Kona needed to feel comfortable. Elizabeth also sent us updates with photos of our pups while we were gone. We don't have kids, so our dogs are our kids and we, understandably, felt nervous leaving them with a new person. However, we felt so comfortable with Elizabeth and look forward to having her stay again in the future.”

“Anastasiia was wonderful with our 8yo lab mix! She agreed to stay with her on VERY short notice, and she was professional & super communicative. We so appreciated it & will DEFINITELY use her again!”

“Eliana was absolutely amazing. My partner and I have a disabled fur baby with a number of special needs, and Eliana was incredibly diligent, asked all the right questions, followed our instructions closely, and took such great care of Miss Bean and our home. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t have been more appreciative. I will absolutely be reaching back out for future travel plans. She was a dream to have stay with our fur baby!”

“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”

“Great communication and my pup loved hanging out with Elizabeth!”

“Jorie was great with my anxious dog Bear! She was patient, calm, and gently assertive where needed and he felt very comfortable with her. He can be reactive with strangers and she handled him well. Bear fell into his normal routine quickly, and relaxed at home during the house sit.”

“Faith showed up for every drop in and took my babies for walks. She kept an extra close eye on Neville because he’d just had a tooth extracted and was on a soft diet with pain meds. Faith patiently soaked his kibble and proportioned his wet food to go with it and I’m so grateful for that. She was great with my fur children.”

“Erin is amazing! While we were vacationing in Chicago she came to our hotel room to watch our 2 Wheaties. Erin was punctual, professional, friendly, and wonderful with our dogs. She even sent us pics and kept us updated on the dogs’ status. The situation was not ideal in a hotel room but Erin was completely understanding and accommodating. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!”

“Angela was amazing with George and was able to help us out when we came to town for the night. She’s extremely knowledgeable, kind and timely. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Dalara & Jack F.

“Anni was amazing with our two dogs! She truly went above and beyond for their care—even taking a trip to the vet to pick up medication for our anxious dog. She was so patient and kind with them, I cannot think of anyone taking better care of them in our absence. Cannot recommend more!”

Courtney M.

“Tylisha was great! Very responsive, prompt, lots of photos shared and Airlie seemed very happy when I got home. House was clean and tidy. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with all sorts of pets - hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, and my childhood English lab, Sprocket. As a kid I watched my neighbors' cats and walked their dogs, I also cat sat while I lived abroad in Korea before my husband and I finally adopted our own rescue dog, Charlie! I'm self-employed and have a flexible schedule. Since I have Charlie at home I can't offer boarding, but I'd love to care for your pet in the comfort of your home! I'm extremely active, so your dog will not be going without walks! I have dog sat off the Rover platform and am happy to share that reference. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and exercise needs. I'm able to administer medication and have experience with anxious dogs (thanks, Charlie!) Would love to set up a meet and greet to get to know each other and your pet's needs! I'm a realtor so my schedule looks different every day, but when I'm not hopping around the city I'm working from home. I am able to commit to stays up to one week long max for now. If you're a new client, it'd be great to get to know each other with a shorter stay first, or at least a meet and greet at your home! I want to make sure your pet is as familiar and comfortable with me as possible before your trip, so you can fully relax. Whatever instructions you give me, I'll follow! Let's talk ahead of time about your pets quirks and needs - as a dog owner myself I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your pet in someone else's care, especially since my dog has her own set of special needs! My goal is to replicate how you care for your own pet as closely as possible. I'm extremely detail-oriented and will keep your home as clean as you left it. I would love to be that trusted person you come back to any time you need a petsitter!

“Took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for 10 days! She kept us up to date regularly and took some of the best pictures. She also got them comfortable with short outdoor walks which we plan to keep up now that we’re back. Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs !”

“Nadine house sat our 7-year-old pup during a five-day trip and took great care of her! She is great and very affectionate with dogs; my sheepadoodle instantly warmed up to her during our meet and greet. She was very communicative and sent many updates and lovely photos, which really put us at ease while away. I would definitely recommend Nadine!”
