“Cache was patient and responsible and we’d happily hire her again. Our dog can be challenging but seemed to love her and as happy when we picked her up. Cache’s calm demeanor was just what our dog needs. 😍”
“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.”
“John was awesome!!! To start, John was very accommodating, and was able to care for my dog, Griffin on short notice. John sent beautiful pictures so I could see how my boy was doing, and the pictures actually showed my dog engaged and happy, going on walks, playing in the yard, and sitting on the couch relaxing. John was very understanding about my dog's accidents and learned Griff's potty needs. John even bought Griff a halloween neck scarf and let him greet trick-or-treaters, something my dog truly enjoys doing with me. John treated Griff like he was his own and created a home away from home. I trusted John with precious cargo, and he took great care. Will definitely request his help again!”
About: I've house sat for my friends dog who has anxiety for the last few years. I'm grew up with and am comfortable with big dogs. I work part time morning shifts Sunday through Wednesday and Night Shifts Friday so I'm able to spend long periods of time with your dog. I know to keep the dog on the leash at all times unless safe to do otherwise, I'm great at following plans for specific needs.
“They communicated very well and took very good care of my boy. Overall, very happy with the service and will continue to reach out for dog sitting needs in the future.”
“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!”
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
“Laura is an angel in human form! She has an ABUNDANCE of experience working with dogs, especially senior pups like ours. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our 17 and 16 year old dogs with a sitter. Thanks Laura!”
“Amanda was awesome! Clear communicator and super friendly. Amanda is also in a great location right off 787, and has a big house for dogs to explore and have fun. She took my guy hiking in brutally cold weather. Will book again.”
“Chelsea and Christopher are incredible people- they made Dolly feel at home and gave her excellent care. You can tell they both are experienced and passionate about animals and are able to manage multiple dogs flawlessly”

New Scotland dog parents share their Rover experiences
We were very happy to leave our Moo with Maggie! She was attentive and very supportive of him, especially since he is a Senior Dog. Looking forward to using her services again!
Imonia is so great with Nia, my dog gets so excited to see and spend time with her. Imonia is part of the family now!
Serhii and Olesia was super sweet and amazing with our dogs! They were communicative and very warm. When we dropped off our dogs both of them met us with reassuring smiles and a great positive attitude. We had to adjust our drop off and pick up time and they were understanding and accommodating. We loved getting daily updates and photos — it really put our minds at ease while we were away. When we came home, our dogs was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. They brought them to the parks even the day when we picked them up. We’re so glad we found them and will definitely be booking again!
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!
Brigid took great care of our miniature poodle. He has separation anxiety and did really well with her!
Nicola was great. My dogs are a handful but she handled them. Khaleesi can be skeptical of people but she felt right at home with Nicola. Will definitely leave my babies with her again.
Lauren and her family are terrific. My dog has stayed with them multiple times and she is always happy when we get there, and happy when we pick her up. Lauren keeps in touch with pictures and text updates and response quickly to questions, which is so appreciated because I’m a nervous dog mom. I’m always very relieved when Lauren is able to watch Charlotte because I know that she will be well cared for and happy during her visit.
Sky is very kind and intuitive with animals, and is a great communicator. She took great care of our dog while we were away.
This was Sterlings first time being boarded and Anna was so amazing. She was patient and so kind to my Sterling. Highly recommend Anna to take care of any pet. She is attentive and gives daily updates. Thank you Anna!
Emily was a great help for me! She took great care of my dog and provided daily updates on her stay. Thank you Emily!
With out a doubt the best sitter we've ever experienced. A very genial nice individual who really has your (ours) pets best interests in mind. Caring, attentive, invested in your needs and concerns with regards to your family member. Couldn't be happier, just ask my dog....
