“Awoo is genuinely great at what he does. He keeps our dogs safe and happy while we're away and he's even helped train & socialize our shyer dog. As long as Awoo is available, he's our #1 choice for dog sitting.”

“Ericca took very good care of my dog while I was gone for three days. She sent updates and photos without me even asking, and he was in great spirits when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”

“My dog came home happy and even better, tired! My pup loved her dog and kids. Brooke was great about communication and sent updates. Will definitely book again.”

“Our dog had a fabulous stay with Mahayla! Since it was our first time, Mahayla offered to come to our home to get to know our pup before caring for her the next day. They hit it off immediately and Mahayla explained her background in animal/dog behavior studies and reassured us that all would go well... and it did! Our pup had a blast trail hiking and also just relaxing at Mahayla's home. Mahayla clearly understands and loves dogs, and it was clear that she was focused on our dog's enjoyment, comfort level and care. She was also focused on our needs as the owners. Leading up to care day she was extremely responsive. On care day she sent photos and updates. A perfect stay...thanks, Mahayla!”

About: I’ve been on Rover for 5 years now! I have lots of experience with animals and my education background is in biology and animal sciences I am available pretty much whenever to do drop ins or walks for your pets!! Let me know what you need and I can accommodate :) I always make sure to follow the owners instructions and communicate with them! Communication is important when taking care of someone else’s animals! I make sure to send lots of pictures as well
“Kate is a wonderful host. Our blue heeler mix is high energy and Kate really impressed us with care and attention she showed. Kate was very attentive and sent us pics and updates of our dog. I give her the best rating. A pleasure to work with.”

“As always Patty took such amazing care of our boy! Atlas loves spending time there and hanging with all the dogs! He is in such good hands, Patty is basically his second mom lol”

“Chrissy takes great care of Ronin. She goes above and beyond! We appreciate that she communicates well with us, and Ronin clearly enjoys staying with her. Strongly recommend her!”

“Lyndsay and her family gave our pups the time of their lives! They loved snuggling with the kids and playing in the backyard. Lyndsay was also great about sending photo updates throughout the stay since we were missing our pups! Will book again.”
“Jennifer took the time to really understand Caleb's geriatric needs, introduce him to her home, and help him feel really comfortable there. She sent photos and updates frequently throughout the week. She is genuinely kind and caring, and was wonderful with our aging Golden Retriever. We will definitely ask for her help if we need care for Caleb in the future.”

“Sheronda was a great sitter for my elderly poodle! She provided updates and photos and was very conscientious about a couple of special instructions I left. Sheronda is highly reliable and very personable. I highly recommend her!”
“Maritza did an awesome job taking care of Lola. She sent me frequent updates on how things were going while I was away that put me at ease. I would definitely use her again she’s highly recommended.”

“Sylvia and Mark (and fam) are great. They took great care of my old girl and were super understanding of her evolving idiosyncrasies. Would definitely trust them again and highly recommend.”

“Mellysa was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Juniper! She kept her over Thanksgiving and made sure we knew what Junie was up to the whole time. Mellysa sent adorable photos and videos several times a day, let Junie sleep with her, and just made sure she was safe and happy. Mellysa’s home is safe, her yard is fenced, her pups are friendly. We were able to relax and not worry about our Junie at all, even knowing that she usually hates being away from us. We can’t recommend Mellysa strongly enough and we’ll definitely use her in the future! 🙏”

“Both of our dogs were calm and relaxed after a 4-day stay. James was attentive to all of their needs and was very kind. His roomates were a bonus, because someone was almost always around to hang out with our dogs! Thanks James, we will be back!”
“Mikkal’s place was perfect for our energetic pup. She had plenty of space to play and came home happy and tired out. Mikkal was very responsive and gave frequent updates. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“Irene has been such a great find in the Berkshires! She always gives helpful communication with each stay, and Ruby seems to love her time with Irene (and her sweet dog Goldie). Thanks for all of the care that you give to Ruby - we'll see you soon!”

“Cooper loved his stay with Robin & John!!!! Them, their house, and their dogs are all great! And I appreciate that they could accommodate a meet and greet quickly and take Cooper on such short notice.”
