Once again, stellar dog-watching! We left Logan for a little over 4 days. We received daily video updates and never once had any concern for Logan’s safety, happiness, and overall wellbeing. Will continue booking with them as long as they are free and able!

Emilee and her pups were the perfect sitters for my dog! Thomas had the best time and because I knew he was in such good hands, I was able to have a great time too.

Feiran was amazing! We boarded our dog Bella at her house for 1 week. Bella had a great time with her new friends. Feiran sent me a lot of photos and videos of my dog during her stay along with how she was doing. Will definitely book another long stay again in the future :)

About: I have personal experience caring for my own dogs, which has taught me how to understand canine behavior, routines, and emotional needs. I’m especially patient with puppies and energetic dogs, and I’m attentive to small details that help pets feel safe and comfortable. What you can expect: Daily photo & video updates Safe, clean, and calm environment Flexible scheduling Extra care for puppies or anxious pets I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I want you to feel 100% comfortable leaving your pet with me. I am pretty flexible since I am at my gap year. Feel free to let me know what you need and I will be there for you I’m very attentive and gentle with pets, and I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe. I follow their usual routine and pay close attention to little details, especially during walks and feeding. I treat both pets and homes with respect, and I communicate clearly so owners always know how their pets are doing. I care for pets the same way I would want someone to care for my own

Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.

Kellie was phenomenal with our dog, Baylee. We had been having problems with Baylee eating and Kellie was able to find something she would eat. Along with managing the number of treats Baylee received, Kellie took Baylee for numerous walks (I think daily), that we think our dog lost weight - which was desperately needed. We are continuing with Kellie's start to a new regimen for Baylee in hopes of making her healthier. Thanks for everything, Kellie!!

China was amazing. This was the first time I’ve booked a sitter on rover and she did her best to alleviate all my worries. My pup is super anxious and she did her best to help her eat her food and gave her all the time she needed to potty and do her business. She also gave my pup her meds which isn’t always easy! As long as she is available I will always go to China she’s awesome.

Shaliyah and Ajanya were AMAZING care providers for our Sugar. He is a young, energetic, sweet dog and I wanted to make sure he was in good hands while we were out of town for a few days. They arranged a meet and greet at a nearby park. Both Shaliyah and Ajanya were kind and patient, yet firm with Sugar when needed. They maintained communication with us throughout his stay, sending updates with pictures and videos. They fed him, played with him, cuddled him, even practiced some commands with him and treated him like part of the family. Sugar was able to make some new doggie buddies, which I had been hoping for. He enjoyed time with their lovelies, Snipper and Ava. I highly recommend Shaliyah and Ajanya as your next boarder/sitter team!

We had to take Cora to the babysitters after I was told I needed emergency eye surgery. Cole and Julie are the absolute best and treat Cora and any dog as their own.

Emilee took great care of our greyhound pack for a week. It was the first time we have left them for more than a couple of days so it was nice to know they were being taken care of and loved while we were gone. Updates, sweet stories, and pictures throughout the week; definitely recommend!!
