“This is my first time using Rover or any pet service. We met Cathy with my dog Jenni ahead of her stay-over which made it a familiar experience when she went for boarding. Cathy is very caring and great with animals and I have already scheduled another stay for my dog with her for a work trip. Thank you!”
“This was Wyatt’s second stay with MacKenzie, and not his last. She is such a wonderful sitter. Leaving him with her is so stress free. She is so nice and flexible. Wyatt just loves her, he was excited when we pulled up to her home.”
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, in the care of Giannina while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience. Not only did Giannina provide outstanding care, but she also went above and beyond by celebrating my dog's birthday, making it truly special even in my absence. Giannina provided regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which reassured me that my furry friend was in excellent hands and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much Giannina!”

“Barbara was the first boarder I've ever used for my pups and because of this I was a bit worried. Barb made sure she kept me informed of their wellbeing and also sent pictures that warmed my heart. She took the best care of them, and they'll definitely be going back. I am so pleased and thankful! Barb, you are the absolute best.”
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”

We appreciated the daily updates and pictures. Nancy and Mark took great care of her. The next time we need to her to be taken care of while we are gone, we will definitely be working with Nancy and Mark.”

“Emily and her family were wonderful. We felt very comfortable with our pup in her care. She provided updates and pictures of the wonderful time our pup had. He was truly on a doggy vacation with Emily. If possible, I would give a 10 out of 10. We will definitely be booking with Emily from now on.”
“Willow was THE best- the second I let my dog Leo out of the car he ran and jumped into her arms as if he knew her forever. I had to book last minute and she was super quick to respond. He was super calm when I picked him up, she took great care of him and sent adorable pics. Will definitely use her as a regular moving forward, 10/10 would recommend!”

I also used to walk dogs for my friend’s doggy daycare business and go to others houses to let their dog out. I currently am a dog mom to a silly little 6 year old corgi as well. I have always loved dogs and believe they deserve to be treated with all the love and treats they deserve 💕 I currently work full time during the week, but looking to walk some dogs or let them out to go potty anytime after 5:00pm. I am available anytime on Saturdays and Sundays for boarding, walking, or let outs! I love walks and can walk your dog anytime they need as I do not have a yard. I have a friendly corgi that is very relaxed and gets along with other dogs well.
