“Matt was great with our dog daisy! He sent frequent updates with lots of pictures - we could tell she was having so much fun! Will definitely book with him again.”


“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”


“Jeff was great to work with! He responded quickly to all messages and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He provided daily photo or video updates and Carmen felt good when she got home. We will definitely request him again!”


“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”


“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”


“They always treat our dog with the utmost respect and care. We feel their home is an extension of our own. Couldn’t be happier to have them watch our baby”


“Once again, Amy did a fantastic job while we were out of town. She provides updates and check in in timely fashion to know our little guy is safe and happy. We will be booking again.”



“This was our first time using Rover and we are so grateful to have found Cyndi! She eased our minds right away by letting us visit for a meet and greet. She has a lovely home with an amazing backyard for our pup to explore. She is quick to respond to messages and gives thorough feedback with lots of photos each day. We could tell our pup was at ease during his stay and have already made another reservation with her. She is a calm presence that will love your pup and make the stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much Cyndi!!”


“Nicole and Austyn are the best!! I needed an overnight sitter super last minute and Nicole was able to help me out! I really appreciate the flexibility and will absolutely be booking with her again :)”

About: Growing up (into now) I’ve had a variety of animals ranging from small fish to sugar gliders. Now, it’s just me and my doggy and we would love to have your fur babies company! Currently pursing this in a full time aspect! I am able to be around to keep your pet entertained, fed, and cared for. Your pets comfort is my number one priority. I have a gated yard (from Amazon, nothing spectacular). I also have a 5 year old dog who loves to play or just chill. Perfect friend for your pet!

“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”



“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”



“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”


“Alice came home from a long stay happy, relaxed, and waggy. Grateful to Ross and Ava for their thoughtful care, communication, flexibility, and laid back orientation. We (and by we, I do mean Alice…) will be back!”


“Raye was an incredible sitter for our pup. Pictures/ videos were sent multiple times a day so we were constantly informed on our pup - plus our pup was clearly having a blast so we felt confident that she was well cared for. I would recommend Raye in a heartbeat and would definitely rebook.”



“Very carrying and dependable. Kept us informed each day by providing us pictures of our beloved dog. Will use her again for sure. Bentley came home happy & no stress.”


“Lila was wonderful when I had to leave my dog at her apartment while I worked a 24h shift. We did a meet n greet the week prior. She was able to accommodate my work schedule. She provided constant updates and re-assurance that my pup was doing well. Highly recommend Lila she is great!!”


“Kat was amazing! My pup absolutely LOVED her and her dogs. She kept me updated the whole time and sent videos and pictures everyday! I’ve never had to board my pup or leave him with anyone I didn’t know while traveling but Kat made the experience super easy, convenient and carefree! It was really comforting to know my dog was in good hands with Kat and having the time of his life with her little ones! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be reaching out to Kat again in the future!”
