“Bowie had another great stay with Michael and his family! As always, I appreciate his excellent communication and how he's always making improvements to his home to make it super dog friendly. Highly recommend!”

“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our beloved Cavapoo, Leo, in the care of Melissa, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Leo, being the picky eater he is, can be quite a handful, but Melissa handled everything with grace and dedication. From the moment we met Melissa, it was clear that Leo was in good hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Leo's comfort and well-being. Understanding his finicky eating habits, she took extra care to prepare his meals and making sure he ate properly. What truly set Melissa apart was her consistent communication. She sent us regular updates and adorable pictures of Leo enjoying his time, which not only kept us informed but also made our vacation so much more peaceful and enjoyable. She even checked in with us to ask how our vacation was going, consistently ensuring that we were happy and reassured. Melissa's deep affection for animals was evident as she lovingly referred to Leo as "baby" throughout his stay. Thanks to Melissa, we were able to relax and enjoy our time away, knowing Leo was happy and well-cared for. Her attentiveness and genuine love for animals shown through in every interaction. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable and loving Dog sitter. If you ever want to leave your loving dog to have a lovely vacation and be assured the dog is in good hands, look no further than Melissa. Thank you, Melissa, for making Leo's stay so wonderful and for giving us peace of mind during our vacation!”

“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”

“We have left our pup with Phil a few times, and just collected him after a 2.5 week stay. Phil is great, always quick to respond, and sends many photos throughout the pups stay. Our pup always comes home happy and clearly cared for. Phil is a great sitter, helpful and reliable and we highly recommend him! Thank you Phil!!!”

“We were comfortable with Melanie from the start. She was truly wonderful! We received pictures and notes of how Bsily was doing daily- sometimes twice in a day. She was very accommodating. As nervous puppy owners, we truly appreciated her frequent updates and pictures of our pup. We definitely will use her again for our next trip. We may even check her availability prior to booking the trip!”

“Dyane has been awesome. She started off as my walker, but when I need to be hospitalized for 2 weeks I converted to her boarding my dog. He was spoiled and got.great care with her at her place And he bonded with her so well. Daily messages and pics with occasional videos of him and I know that when it comes time for me to take a real vacation I know he'll be safe with her.”

James O.

“Once again, we couldn’t be happier that our puppy, Lucy, was able to stay with Dawn and her family while we were out of town! We love that Lucy is not only so well cared for, but also gets to socialize with Dawn’s younger kids, their friends, and other dogs throughout her stay (we love getting photos and updates!) Lucy came home happy and exhausted - thank you, Dawn!”

“Jake found his home away from home. Lauren was attentive and communicated consistently throughout Jake's stay. The daily photos and updates were appreciated so we could keep tabs on our furry pet. Jake settled well back home after his stay. Thank you for caring so well for our dog 🐕”

“Paola was excellent! I received regular check-ins with pictures and updates. Conrad seemed very happy and comfortable in her care. Would 100% go back.”

“Megan had my cat Luna just for a day, but her care was absolutely excellent! Megan is very communicative and responds to questions quickly. She gave me updates and pictures of Luna throughout the day, which was very much appreciated! Through the pictures I could see how comfortable Luna was, and as a first time client, that made my day! Megan is absolutely the best, and I would definitely book with her again!”

Ashley K.

“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”

“Kayla sent me videos/pictures while I was away, which really helped ease my mind. When I picked up my dog, my dog started to cry cause she didn’t want to leave Kayla’s house. I highly recommend :)”

“Michelle, Mike and family were the most gracious hosts! They treated our timid Jagger like family and slowly but surely he came out of his shell. I can’t thank them enough for taking such great care of Jagger. I had absolutely no worries that he was being well taken care of and would make some new friends along the way! ?”

About: I've taken care of others and my own pets of all sizes and ages. I'm also good with giving medicines to seniors. Fur babies are family in my house! I'm available for boarding and daily walks. Most days of the week, have time for long hikes as well. I have timer over the week for more play and cuddles. I have a nice large fenced yard for your pet to run, play or just laze around in. Lost of trails are easy walking distance from my place, so they'll enjoy a good hike. Your pet will be the only fur baby so will get my full attention and cuddles.

“Tracee and her family did a fantastic job taking care of Gracie! They were all very communicative, caring and accommodating. Gracie already cannot wait to go back!”

Gregory M.

“Paul was absolutely great! Our dogs had a blast running around in his yard and playing with the other friendly dogs that were there. Paul sent picture and video updates which were so fun. We knew we could relax while being away because our dogs were in good hands. I would highly recommend Paul as a Rover sitter to anyone!”

About: Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand them and vice versa. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? Sure, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything or wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 5 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.
