“Rob, Jeannie and Peanut are fantastic, they genuinely love dogs, they are extremely friendly and professional. I received lots of photos and videos of my dog boo , even got a personalized report card for boo at the end of his stay. Perfect 10/10 rating, they are one of the best sitters on this app, I am extremely lucky to have found them, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you so much for taking care of boo and the extra warm/caring touch you provide, it means a lot knowing that boo will be taken care of like he is part of your family.”

“Kelli was so nice, she really made me feel good about leaving my fur baby in her care. ☺️ Handsome had so much fun, he was knocked out by the time we hit the end of the driveway. Definitely would go to Kelli again and again!”

“I felt super nervous starting Daisy at yet another daycare but as soon as I met Kelly, she made me feel comfortable with leaving Daisy with her. I even woke up to a pic of my Daisy girl relaxing and comfortable as can be!”

“Lejune and Michael were beyond awesome! This was my first leaving my doggie with someone other than family, and it was the best experience. I loved getting pictures of my fur baby. I would def recommend booking with them!”

“I just want to say that Charlie is unbelievable. He met us half way to pick up and drop off our Daisy girl for daycare to help us out and we couldn’t be more thankful. Not only is he flexible but he loves our Daisy and we can’t ask for anything more.”

“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”

“So glad to have found the Rover option for daycare for Daisy! It was like a home away from home and she didn't have to be alone. Jerin sent pics of Daisy with her dog and reported the two were getting along great. Daisy came home happy and VERY tired, so I know she must have had a good time! Thanks Jerin!”

“Chloe is amazing with our 3 month old puppy. She and Seth are loving and incredibly accommodating- I feel completely comfortable leaving my boy with them and will be using their services in the future!!”
“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and taking care of them! Currently, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work weekends so I am free all weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I do prefer having the option to crate so if issues do arise or if I need to step out, I can do so easily.
“Nadia took the time to get to know me and Walter's needs, before just accepting any offer! I was greeted with smiling faces (her and her 3 kids), and right away Walter was home away from hom! During his time there he also became besties with their family dog and really enjoyed how much attention they gave him. He came back to me completely pooped and I appreciate Nadia's attentiveness to Walter !”

“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”

About: Need to board your fur baby before travel or place them in doggy/kitty daycare? I can help! As a pet owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find a good, safe place to leave my babies. That's why you can be rest assured that your doggy or kitty will be happy, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will love them and treat them and just like their own. Your fur babies will have a large space indoors to play and snuggle. They will have an even larger outdoor, fenced-in space to run and play as they wish. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home, so I am available all day to care for your pets, walk them and be there for them. They will feel right at home! I like to follow the schedule that the client has set for their pets at home so that pets can feel a sense of continuity in their new environment. I customize my care depending on each pet and their unique needs.
About: people in my life reach out to me first when they need help with a pet! I care for all pets and have experience with many cats and dogs :) i promise to do everything possible to give your pet the best care I am a student but have plenty of time in between classes and overnight to care for any pet in need! My busiest day is Tuesday but I have full availability every day. I have a fenced yard and dog park at my apartment. I have lots of space and do allow pets on furniture! I love to walk and am not far from a park.
About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have an older beagle who is very docile. I have two kids who also enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.
