It was clear that she was well cared for, loved, and happy while I was away. I truly appreciated the updates, kindness, and professionalism.

“I would give Tiara five stars without hesitation. Over the years I’ve used many Rover sitters for Ajax, and Tiara is the first one I’ve recommended to friends and the first sitter I’ve felt compelled to review. She really is that good. Because of her veterinary background, she noticed a few things that were bothering Ajax and took care of them right away. That level of knowledge and attentiveness gave me tremendous peace of mind. She sent daily messages and videos and asked thoughtful questions about Ajax’s likes, dislikes, and routines so she could care for her in the best possible way. When I picked Ajax up, Tiara even had a thank-you bag waiting for us that included paw artwork by Ajax, several toys, treats, and adorable photo stickers. It was such a thoughtful touch. When I travel—especially for longer trips like this one (almost two weeks)—I’m usually worried about Ajax. With Tiara, I felt confident from the start that Ajax was in excellent hands. I highly recommend her.”

She sent daily updates and pics, I couldn’t ask for more, really. But it was the quality of care that I noticed and my pup was returned to me a happy dog.”

Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”

“Not sure there is enough room to leave Michael all the praise he deserves! We left our 1.5 year old golden retriever with him for a long weekend and we did not worry for a second. Michael sent us frequent updates/pictures and gave him so much exercise and love. He answered any questions we had and was very responsive. He cares a great deal about dogs- we cannot recommend him enough. Will use again!”

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for most of my adult years, and I genuinely love being around them! I’ve cared for small and medium sized dogs, but dogs of all sizes are welcome. I enjoy making sure every dog gets plenty of attention, love, and exercise while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, getting some zoomies out, enjoying mealtime, or just relaxing and getting lots of cuddles, I’m happy to keep your pup happy and comfortable. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m always happy to follow their normal schedule and any special instructions you provide. I currently work full time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your pet the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can often accommodate last minute requests. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your fur baby will have plenty of attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet will be welcomed into a loving, comfortable, and pet friendly apartment home! I have a mini Schnauzer of my own who is friendly, playful, and full of personality. He loves having a furry friend around! I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, meals, cuddles, and relaxation time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My home is a place where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family!

It was our first time using Anny and she did an awesome job taking care of our little one for 2 weeks. She gave us daily updates either thru pictures, videos or short messages on how our little Sophie was doing. We love that she only takes 1 dog at a time so we are sure that she is able to give attention to our little one. Would definitely come back for future sittings…

Raheem was great! He is very friendly and laid-back, which is a great match for our dog, Coco, who gets overexcited very easily. From the start, he was prompt with communication and information. He scheduled a meet-and-greet and shared more about his experience taking care of dogs, While we were away, he kept us posted on how Coco was doing throughout the week. We had some travel delays on our return trip and he was able to accommodate some small changes in the pick-up time at the last minute. Coco was a happy girl when we picked her up and it was clear she had a good time. We'd definitely use Raheem again!

NASA Lived with Cristian for a week. Everything went well. She's seemed comfortable around him when I went to pick her up. Two minor concerns were inadequate photos, videos and terse updates or sometimes no updates daily. Also found matting of hair locks on her ears.
