“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”


“Anahita was a life saver for me this past weekend. She was able to care for Sammy with last minute notice, which I really appreciated. I like the fact that she has other dogs because Sammy is very social and likes to play with other dogs. Apparently he got along with her dogs just fine and that makes me happy. He needed some socialization. She sent photos throughout Sammy’s stay in her home. When I picked Sammy up the next day, he seemed very calm and relaxed. He was pretty calm the rest of the evening which was great. I expected a little anxiety when I returned but Sammy seemed peaceful on the drive back home. I think that Anahita’s calm, caring and peaceful personality played a huge part. I appreciate that so much. She pays attention to details that are important to the dog for a successful stay, but is not overly anxious. Thank you so much, Anahita, for caring for Sammy for me. I was able to relax and have a great overnight trip without worrying about Sammy! We will be repeat customers for sure!”


“Jaxson immediately took to Janelle and JT giving me confidence in leaving my buddy. Pictures showed him running and "smiling" talking me he was enjoying his pup-cation.”


“Kelly took amazing care of my Stevie while I was visiting family in April! We did an initial meet and greet before his official drop off date and Kelly instantly bonded with Stevie : ). During his stay, Kelly frequently checked in with me and sent me pictures! She even sat on the floor and consoled Stevie through a thunderstorm when he got scared. Kelly was wonderful and I can't recommend her enough! <3”


“I was hesitant to leave my beagle with someone else while I went on a trip, but as soon as I met Emily and saw her home and yard, I knew it would be OK. It was more than OK! I never worried about Nelly and she clearly had a good time there.”


“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”


“Alexsys provided us with the best dog care on Rover! We initially had a last minute notice from the previous sitter who had to cancel on us. Alexsys was quick to reply and get us booked. My dog Chase had an amazing time! Alexsys always provided us with pics and updates everyday day, something previous dog sitters didn’t provide unless I asked. She was very friendly and I cold tell my dog liked her. When we can to pick up my dog, we had forgotten his dog bowls. Alexsys was kind enough to drive 30mins to our house and deliver them. She really cares about her clients! We will definitely be using her services again!!”



About: I have been walking/ taking care of dogs for many years. I have walked old dogs, young dogs, big and small. I have done transports and done overnights. I enjoy engaging the dogs in playing fetch or even just sitting on the couch and giving belly rubs. I am involved in my visits, I will feed the dogs and clean up backyard and house messes of any pet accidents that may have occurred. I will give treats and simple commands as the owners request. I will give frequent updates and pictures as requested and take good care of your pets while your are gone. i look forward to taking care of your four legged friends and you entrusting me to take good care of them.

“Christina & Alex are the only dog sitters we have ever used…and we keep coming back. That’s because we feel safe leaving our Georgia at their home. We always feel bad & a bit nervous to leave her behind, but we feel so much better after we see the pics of her feeling comfortable in their home & we always get a quick response if we are ever wondering or worried about how she is doing during her visit. Georgia isn’t the easiest dog but they always gives her the individual love & attention she needs while we are away. Highly recommend & we will definitely be back! We appreciate you guys!!!”


“Boarding our dog Honey with Emily and family was a very positive experience. We started out with a meet and greet, where Emily asked lots of questions about Honey and her routine. During Honey's stay, Emily sent updates and photos each day letting me know what Honey was up to and how she was doing. It was apparent throughout that Emily is an excellent and responsive caregiver, and that Honey thoroughly enjoyed her stay! We're looking forward to booking with Emily again.”


“Our babies loved Jaclyn! She updated us everyday and made my mind feel as ease. For never leaving them without a family member I believe she did a pretty great job! We can’t wait to book with her again 💛”


“Linda was an amazing dog sitter for us. She took us last minute and we were very impressed with her level of knowledge and compassion for her dogs. Her house is set up to pamper all the dogs and sent us daily pictures and a video. I am already looking to rebook with her again next year. Thank you Linda!”



“Tamara put my mind at ease. My little guy is pretty anxious, but I felt Tamara would care for him as I do. She seems to truly love all dogs and I like that quality in my dog sitters :) Tamara took ample time to answer all my questions during our meet and greet. She is extremely responsive and provides regular updates, which I very much appreciated! I will be using her services again. Thanks Tamara!”
