“Bertie and the family are absolutely AMAZING!! They were able to accommodate my last minute request. I was continuously sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated. They were very gentle and understanding as Fluff is shy and gets anxious. I would 100% recommend Bertie and I would leave Fluff again with them.”

“Maui’s stay with Hannah was awesome. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I could tell that Hannah was a total animal lover and that Maui was going to be in great hand My dog has anxiety issues and Hannah was great at administering his meds. Hannah sent many pictures to show me how happy Maui was during his stay. I will definitely check with Hannah again when going away and need an amazing dog sitter.”

“5+ stars!! Mark and Daniel are wonderful. They are kind and gentle and made the whole process seamless. Our energetic German shepherd had surgery a week before our trip and they were able to help keep him comfy, monitor his healing, help give medications, and spoil him! We would absolutely book with them again and recommend to anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup! Very communicative and they truly go the extra mile to care for your pet like it’s their own ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love working with them. Since the age of 10, I’ve looked after dozens of dogs, volunteered at multiple shelters, and trained two puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes from tiny 8 pound pups to large 100 pound dogs. I would be honored to watch your dog and can promise they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and love while in my hands. I already have a dog to walk on a daily basis and I am home for most of every day. I will have the free time to take care of your dog to the best of my ability. I have a dog crate, homemade dog house, and an organized 3 story house the dog can stay in and roam around. There is a small front yard and a large area outback for space to walk.

Tionna took amazing care of my 1.8yo female German Shepherd Dog named Dasha for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent multiple updates and photos every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Dasha was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of attention. When I picked up Dasha, she came back happy, relaxed, and completely herself — not stressed or withdrawn in any way. You can truly tell when a dog has been treated with kindness, and that was absolutely the case here. I would 100% use Tionna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and attentive sitter. Thank you, Tionna!

Paula was absolutely amazing with our dog and made her feel right at home from day one. She took excellent care of her, kept us at ease while we were away, and was incredibly flexible and accommodating when our return travel got complicated. We’re so grateful for her kindness and care when it came to taking care of our pup and would 100% book with her again — five stars without hesitation!

Izzy is the best sitter! Our dog, Maisie, seemed to know this before she even got inside the apartment. All wags and up on the couch and happy before we got down the road. Great communication, too—photos and videos—and a play date at Izzy’s family home with two Doodles on top of all the good care. We can’t wait to book again.

This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.
