This is the first time I have left my Mochi with anyone. We had an unplanned change to our travel plans that forced us to leave her behind. I found Sandra by simply reviewing the reviews on Rover.com spoke with her by phone and took a chance. My experience?Wonderful care, several pictures of the stay and most importantly a very happy and healthy dog when I picked her up. Thank Sandra and all other wonderful dog sitters out there!

Taylor and their partner Olivia are wonderful people and dog sitters. They took such great care of Peanut and were super communicative. I truly had no time to worry about her because I regularly got photos and updates of how she was doing. I will definitely be booking with them again because I can trust they'll care for her well

Evita is an amazing sitter!! I found her somewhat last minute, and she was nothing but incredible. My dog had a lovely time while I was away for work for a few days. She was attentive, made sure my dog had plenty of walks and playtime. She has a small dog, and my dog and hers got along so well! Definitely going to be using her all summer as my permanent sitter!

Jason is a natural when it comes to caring for dogs. Sheldon warmed up to him instantly and his communication was spot on as he was kind, thorough, and thoughtful with his responses and updates along with plenty of pictures to keep me involved with his care. Gus & Star are very sweet as well and Sheldon left with new friends. Hoomans & doggos alike! Jason is flexible as well and simply made the whole process so easy I would highly recommend him to care for your pupper! Many thanks Jason 😊

Lajetta went above and beyond in caring for my dog, Boo. He became a part of her family and was just loved on the whole time. My little guy bonded with her so quickly, and he's normally anxious with strangers. I couldn't be more grateful for her care of Boo, as well as meeting this amazing woman!

As first time Rover users, we feel so fortunate to have found Nad in taking great care of our senior cat, Chase & Corgi dog, Koji. She had kept us posted with daily pics and feedback of our fur babies which really helped put us at ease while we were away. It can be such a challenge when leaving an old cat and a younger dog to the care of someone new, thankfully Nad was able to fulfill the duty and made the boarding experience both peaceful and fun for my pets. We will definitely be back for Nad's service in the future the next time we plan a trip away from home.

Dahlia and her husband took wonderful care of Bo. He is a high energy dog and can be a bit talkative so it puts some folks off but Dahlia was fantastic and they took him on lots of walks and lots of play time. She sent me pictures multiple times a day and sent me updates which were lovely as one misses their friends when traveling. I will definitely be repeating services!!

About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.

Keelan and his wife were so wonderful to my baby boy Domino. They were communicative and flexible with my return from the Gorge Ampitheatre (you never know how much traffic there will be) they sent pics multiple times a day and based on the cuddles I saw in the photos I can tell Domino made himself at home with them and their two cute pups, Loki and Minty. I would absolutely recommend them and hope to book with them again. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Kaherine enough! She went above and beyond for my dog during her stay. I especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Beyond the standard walks, she really took the time to engage my dog in fun activities and training. A huge highlight for me was her help in socializing my pup with other dogs it was a major milestone, and seeing the progress she made in such a short time was incredible. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Dahlia watched our pup Frankie over our two week wedding vacation (I know, sad we couldn’t bring her) and she was amazing!

Bryan is a gem with dogs. The first time Gilly stayed with Bryan, she was nervous and a bit on edge. Bryan calmed her and they ultimately had a successful time together. The second time I dropped Gilly for a long weekend, I was a bit apprehensive about how she’d react to being left again. The moment she saw Bryan, she was THRILLED and strutted away without so much as a glance back. She clearly feels at ease with him, which is so reassuring. Further, he’s extremely kind, responsive, and flexible. We will 1000% be reaching out to Bryan for future dog sitting needs!
