“Donnie was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable with tips on how to improve our relationship with our dog. Like the dog whisperer!! He was very detailed and upfront of what he planned to do and care for our dog. He helped ease our worries with pictures and regular communication. Look forward to having him as our dog sitter again. He is very recommended!”
“I can't say enough good things about Lucille! She took amazing care of our little guy, sending thoughtful updates and photos throughout our time away. She was attentive to his needs, followed his routine perfectly, and clearly showered him with love and attention. Our dog came home happy and well-cared for. I would HIGHLY recommend Lucille to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Jessica is amazing! Our senior Jack Russell stayed with her for the first time this past weekend and loved it! Within the first hour of dropping our girl off, Jessica was already sending updates on how she was settling in. Though our pup is old she still has loads of energy and was taken to the local trails to walk for a couple miles. Jessica was very communicative throughout the stay, letting me know if she has eaten, done well on walks, etc. I would absolutely book with Jessica again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog! Karen was very accommodating from the start and greeted us arms wide open. Throughout the stay, she updated us and took the best care of our dog. Will definitely be using her again!!”
“We highly recommend Faith! She was easy to book, communicate with before and during our dogs stay and she treated our dog like family. We received daily updates and photos and knew that she was in good hands. We will definitely be using Faith again whether it be for an extended stay, walk or visit.”
“Daisy was amazing with my picky dog. We scheduled a last minute trip and she was beyond accommodating and put our minds at ease knowing that we were leaving our pup in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we looked forward to her pictures and updates while we were away. If we need to board again, I feel 100% comfortable reaching out to Daisy again!”
“Alen and Mikayla are fantastic! They were super communicative with any questions they had and always kept me updated with pictures and videos of Kona and Kira who had a ton of fun. Their dog Keiko is super nice and got along well with my pups. Im so glad to have found them. Would definitely recommend them for your pups and knowing i can leave mine with them without any hesitation :)”
“Tammy was absolutely amazing! Treated our pug like a princess, spoiling her with new toys and treats. 😀 Her excellent communication and photos kept us at ease while we were away. Complimentary drop off and pick up was a huge help. We won’t hesitate to use her again. Can’t thank her enough for all she did.”
“Alexis is fantastic with dogs! She is experienced and knowledgeable with breeds, temperaments, behaviors and health. Alexis goes above and beyond to make sure that the animals in her care are well taken care of when they are with her. She is also full of advice and helpful hints. My Wesley always come home calmer and better behaved than when I leave him. I am so glad I found Alexis and don't have to worry about Wesley when I am out of town.”
“Rocky has stayed with Deanna multiple times now she is so nurturing and kind. I would gladly use her services over and over again I can’t say enough about how attentive she was, and I appreciate all the pictures I received while she was with Rocky.”
“Amy was wonderfully gracious and sweet with my Coco. She sent daily pics, asked important questions and was attentive. She accomodating to our schedule and went above and beyond to make sure Coco was ready for us. She is amazing 👏 🤩”
“Reesi and Tanner made themselves right at home with Sindy and her family within a few minutes after arriving there. We were a bit concerned about how they might adjust in a new place with new people, but we soon discovered we didn't have to worry at all. We were able to leave them for the day and not worry about a thing. Sindy even sent us several pictures of them throughout the day to let us know they were safe and sound while we were able to enjoy our 4-year-old grandson's birthday party in another state. We highly recommend Sindy when you need someone to care for your pets while away!”
“Thank you Damaris, for caring for my princess Mitsy as if she was your own. I can tell Mitsy enjoyed her stay, care and going to the park. She can't wait to go back in June. I enjoyed seeing every picture you sent me.”
“Mimi's place was set up specifically with dogs in mind, she had thought of everything, space for them to play, dog beds in multiple rooms, and gates if she needed them to be in a more confined area.”
About: I have had pets my entire life and could never live without them. I have three dogs and three cats and would love the opportunity to take care of your babies the way you wish you could while you are away. My schedule is extremely flexible and I would love to further discuss together what works best for you and your fur babies needs sometime soon. I visit your home and take care of your pets in the environment that they know and are most comfortable. I will also do neighborhood walks, dog parks, and vet visits depending on arrangements.
“In the past, I have always hesitated to travel anywhere because I didn't want to put Connor in a kennel while we were gone. I'm so happy I found Rover.com! Connor stayed with Bob and his wife, Kathy. She loved hanging out with them and playing with their cute little dog, Milo. Bob sent me pictures of Connor and her activities while we were gone which was very reassuring. Bob and Kathy are awesome and I see more travel in my future! Thanks for the great care and love you gave Connor.”
“Julia was an excellent sitter for our dog Nacho. Her children were very excited to have him over and definitely helped to tire him out. We got regular updates with pictures & it looked like he was having a blast!”
