“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”
“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”
“Nia was so amazing! Communicated well and was very accommodating. She sent lots of videos and photos. And I can tell my pup enjoyed herself. I will definitely book her again!”
“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”

“A last minute request and Emily was responsive and flexible! Really saved our weekend plans! She gives multiples updates with his walks and pictures showing him having a great stay. Can’t recommend Emily enough!”
“I totally and wholeheartedly recommend Laura! This was my 1st time ever boarding my 2 small dogs, and she made me feel so at ease from the very beginning of this new process. Seeing all the great reviews, I was assured that my dogs were in good hands with Laura. She took awesome care of my dogs and stayed in touch daily with pictures and updates. Laura is my #1 when the need comes up again. Thank you so much Laura! You are a blessing to the dogs you take in!”
About: I've house sat for my friends dog who has anxiety for the last few years. I'm grew up with and am comfortable with big dogs. I work part time morning shifts Sunday through Wednesday and Night Shifts Friday so I'm able to spend long periods of time with your dog. I know to keep the dog on the leash at all times unless safe to do otherwise, I'm great at following plans for specific needs.
“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”
“Lori was an awesome sitter and babysat our Bernese mnt dog for four nights. She was very communicative and Duck seemed to have loved the company of Loris dog!”
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
“Thanks to Serhii and Olesia they made a great job. I left my dog Morris with them for the day . They took him out for a walk and they sent me pictures and video of Morris having a good time, you can see that they really love animals and they take care very good.”
“Stephanie and her whole family was sweet with my dog. She gave daily updates and even sent videos/pics I highly recommend if you're in a pinch and have to go out of state via airport!”
“John was awesome!!! To start, John was very accommodating, and was able to care for my dog, Griffin on short notice. John sent beautiful pictures so I could see how my boy was doing, and the pictures actually showed my dog engaged and happy, going on walks, playing in the yard, and sitting on the couch relaxing. John was very understanding about my dog's accidents and learned Griff's potty needs. John even bought Griff a halloween neck scarf and let him greet trick-or-treaters, something my dog truly enjoys doing with me. John treated Griff like he was his own and created a home away from home. I trusted John with precious cargo, and he took great care. Will definitely request his help again!”
“Vera is an incredible host! Our 1yo pup was in excellent hands while we were away for a week. She accommodated an extra day and gave plenty of daily exercise and attention. We’ll be back for another stay for sure!”
“Rachel was excellent in caring for my pets. She sent daily pics with updates which made my husband and I very comfortable we will be using her services again in the near future. Rachel Thanks again,”
“Amanda was awesome! Clear communicator and super friendly. Amanda is also in a great location right off 787, and has a big house for dogs to explore and have fun. She took my guy hiking in brutally cold weather. Will book again.”
“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
“Sylva and Mark were fantastic and took great care of my pup! They sent pictures everyday to show how happy she was and gave her a lot of loving and cuddles!”
“My dog doesn’t take easily to strangers. He got along so well with Nicola. I found that Nicola is quite knowledgeable and experienced about dogs. I am quite pleased with the care and attention given to my dog. I highly recommend Nicola and would most definitely use her services again.”

Second Avenue dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren is terrific! Charlotte is always happy to go visit with Lauren and her family and is always happy when we pick her up. Lauren has watched Charlotte several times and we’re always happy with her communication and the care Charlotte receives!
Imonia is so great with Nia, my dog gets so excited to see and spend time with her. Imonia is part of the family now!
Serhii and Olesia was super sweet and amazing with our dogs! They were communicative and very warm. When we dropped off our dogs both of them met us with reassuring smiles and a great positive attitude. We had to adjust our drop off and pick up time and they were understanding and accommodating. We loved getting daily updates and photos — it really put our minds at ease while we were away. When we came home, our dogs was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. They brought them to the parks even the day when we picked them up. We’re so glad we found them and will definitely be booking again!
Nicola was great. My dogs are a handful but she handled them. Khaleesi can be skeptical of people but she felt right at home with Nicola. Will definitely leave my babies with her again.
Cache was absolutely wonderful! My dog loves her and didn’t want to leave. My dog was very well taken care of.
Sky is very kind and intuitive with animals, and is a great communicator. She took great care of our dog while we were away.
This was Sterlings first time being boarded and Anna was so amazing. She was patient and so kind to my Sterling. Highly recommend Anna to take care of any pet. She is attentive and gives daily updates. Thank you Anna!
Was amazing with Wizard while we went on Vacation. Sent us pics and did a video call also. Was a great experience!!
