We truly appreciate everything Marcela did for our girls while we were away. As first time Rover users, we were a bit apprehensive about the whole process but she put us at ease. She sent us lots of photos of our girls where could see that they were happy and immediately bonded with her. She kept us updated with regular messages and provided quick responses to our questions. We would definitely book Marcela again.

I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!

Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!

Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!

Grant and Yunrui took such a good care of my anxious and high energy dog. They walked her, let her sleep with them and sent lots of updates and cute photos. Coco seemed very relaxed and happy when we came back. They followed our long list of instructions very well. I will most definitely rebook them to take care of Coco.

I have never had anyone stay in my home to doggy sit while I was out of town, but my regular drop-off sitters were unavailable. I contacted Hieu and Anna about sitting in my home for my almost 15 year old furkid, Zoe. We did a meet and greet and I was instantly comfortable with both Hieu and Anna. Zoe was her usual standoffish self, but I knew she would be fine. Hieu and Anna showed up on time and took excellent care of Zoe while I was away! They took Zoe on long walks and a couple of car rides. They provided pictures and daily updates of their time with Zoe. It was evident, when I arrived home, that Zoe had been well cared for. They also took excellent care of my home while they were here! The place was cleaner than when I left! I recommend Hieu and Anna 1000%! I will definitely ask them to sit for Zoe in the future!

William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future

About: Leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, I truly understand because I’m a dog parent myself. Communication and trust mean everything to me, so while you’re away, you’ll always know how your pup is doing. If you are looking for a caring home, not just a pet sitter, then we are a perfect match. My name is Angela and this is something I do together with my daughter because caring for animals genuinely brings us joy. When pets stay with us, they aren’t just being watched, they become part of our little family. Your pet will have a loving family giving them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection while you’re away. ** What You Can Expect ** ✔ Consistent updates and communication so you feel at ease.
 ✔ A calm, loving home environment.
 ✔ Plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles.
 ✔ Patient, attentive care for every personality. ** Experienced With Special Care ** Because my own dog had diabetes, I also have hands-on experience administering medication, including insulin shots. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and keep pets comfortable and calm during their care. ** Care That Matches Your Pet’s Needs ** Whether your pet is: — playful and full of energy — a little shy at first — or a sweet senior who prefers a calm space We’re happy to meet them exactly where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a meet and greet. We’d love the chance to get to know you and your pet and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. I work from home and that affords me great flexibility to take on Drop-ins and walks. Very flexible throughout the day and week. Early riser ! Safety , attention to detail and owner specific instruction are paramount to quality service. I would care for your pet with the love and care the way I care for my own.

Tara is amazing. She stayed with my 2 Yorkies this past weekend and was wonderful with them. She kept me up-to-date on what they were doing with videos, pictures, and texts.. I loved it. She played with them and got lots of kisses from them. I felt very comfortable having her take care of them, and that is a really good feeling.

Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.

Thanks to Leah I was able to have an absolutely wonderful and guilt free vacation. Receiving those daily updates, photos and videos makes all the difference when you are away from home and could tell Redd and Tea were safe, loved and having a good time with all the walks, snuggles and attention. Priceless!

Lauren looked after our 3 cats while my husband and I were traveling abroad for 3 weeks and she did a fantastic job!! We felt so comfortable the whole time because we could tell from the pictures and information she sent that the pets were in great hands. Two of our cats have special needs (one is blind, one has epilepsy) and she was very considerate and happy to adjust for any special care they needed. When we arrived home, everything was clean & in great condition, and the cats were happy and healthy. Thanks so much!

This was my first time leaving my babies with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend so I was extremely nervous for someone new to watch them. Za’Nai was the best! She sent me daily pictures and updates, she communicated efficiently and she took the dogs on adventures. When she had concerns or questions, she reached out which I greatly appreciated. I came home to happy dogs and a very clean home which was so nice to see after traveling all day. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!
