Jamie was wonderful to work with. Our pup really enjoyed his day. We could tell because he was tired when we picked him up! I would definitely recommend Jamie.

Andrew and his dog, James, are great! LiLi went over for the day yesterday and when James dropped her off back home, at the end of the day, she stood by the door until she was sure he wasn’t outside anymore. I love knowing she’s happy when I’m at work!

I don’t think I can say enough good about Haley and Pierce. Pierce is the perfect combination of laid back and playful. He patiently tolerated her initial over-excitement and then ran and played “chase” with her at the beautiful park where Haley took them. Haley was friendly and professional, providing frequent updates and photos. I will most definitely be using Haley again!

I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.

About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.

We contacted Val the morning of and she was more than happy to have our Remington over for daycare on such short notice. We were super pleased with the amount of photos and videos that were shared through her Instagram. We found it to be very convenient on staying updated with our pup's activities. We can tell Remington had a blast and hope to book with her again! Thank you Val!

Kimberlee and her husband (and their son) were all great with LiLi! LiLi was already playing with their sweet and very friendly dog, Odie, when I was leaving. I got lots of pictures and communication throughout the day. I was happy to see a blur where LiLi’s tail would have been. 😂 She had so much fun. I highly recommend Kimberlee and her family and definitely will use them again!!

Buddy has been to visit Emily and Ryan twice now and I couldn’t be happier! Each time he comes home and is soooo tired from playing all day. I appreciate that Emily and Ryan are so accommodating and take the time to keep me updated while Buddy is there. I feel confident when Buddy is there that he is being taken care of and loved like he is at home. Thanks guys for all you do!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is I am very responsible and pay great attention to detail. And for those reasons, I think I will be an excellent pet sitter for your pets. I currently work as a student. And when I am not at class, I am often at home studying/spending time with your pet. Additionally I love taking long walks especially while accompanied by a free friend. My home is very safe for pets. I personally ensure that I maintain and facilitate an environment is always appropriate and clean for dogs of all kinds.

Kat was great. LiLi was a little hesitant when she saw Solo because she’s not accustomed to seeing dogs bigger than her. But, it only took a few minutes before she joined him in a game of “chase” in Kay’s spacious backyard. When Kat’s other dog, Chewie, ran out to join the fun, all three played together very well. I was very comfortable leaving LiLi with Kat.

We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!

About: From a young age, my life has been enriched by the companionship of both cats and dogs, nurturing a deep love and understanding of animals. Growing up with a King Charles Cavalier and now sharing my days with a beloved golden retriever, I've developed a profound connection with these furry friends. My personal experiences have instilled in me a natural instinct for pet care, from the joy of playtime to the responsibilities of feeding and grooming. Beyond my own pets, I've extended my passion for animal care into professional realms, providing attentive and compassionate sitting services for other pet owners. Each interaction has reinforced my commitment to the well-being and happiness of every furry client, ensuring they receive the same level of care and affection as my own companions. What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my genuine love for animals but also my ability to tailor care to meet the unique needs of each pet. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized attention to senior dogs, or simply offering a warm lap for cuddles, I take pride in going above and beyond to create a safe and enriching environment for every furry friend entrusted to my care. With me, your pet isn't just a client – they're family. Weekend availability: full time to watch your pet. Weekday: 90% full time availability, I am a part time yoga teacher who teaches a couple classes a week. In my home or my client's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for pets under my care. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and walking schedules, providing ample playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe living space. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications or treatments as directed by the pet owner. Additionally, I offer personalized attention and affection to each pet, making them feel loved and secure while they're away from their owners. Whether it's overnight stays, daily check-ins, or dog-walking services, I strive to meet the unique needs of every pet and maintain open communication with their owners to ensure peace of mind.

About: As a big animal lover I’ve always sought ways to spend more time with them in whatever ways I could - be that pet-sitting for friends and family, helping to exercise friend’s dogs when they were busy, to volunteering for the last 12 years at a therapeutic horseback-riding facility. In that time I’ve dedicated to learning as much as I could about dogs, cats, and horses and how to care for and teach them so you can feel secure that your pet will be treated with the utmost kindness, respect, and love, with some dashes of training and fun mixed in. Need someone to care for your furry family member - look no further! I currently deliver packages for Amazon Flex and schedule my blocks day-of (usually only 2 hours or less before they start) so I’m always able to be available if need be. If in your home I can feed, water, walk, snuggle with, give medication, do basic training or exercise your dog and will do so in the most professional manner possible. If your dog is coming over to my home, I have a large, clear fenced in yard where my 11.5 month old Irish Setter has plenty of room to get her energy out daily so you can feel comfortable that your dogs would have ample space to wear themselves out and a super-friendly (and gentle) playmate to help in that endeavor. Afterwards I have a spare XL hard plastic crate if they need time and space to rest or if they are spending the night, along with plenty of fuzzy blankets and toys they can snuggle up with. Whatever it is your looking for, I’m happy to help make you and your dog’s lives happier, healthier and as stress-free as can be!

About: New to Rover.com but 10+ years of fostering over 400 babies for local shelters. They were all spoiled by the time they were ready for adoption. (No apologies for that 🙃) Your pet will be well cared for/spoiled while they visit! I can take two dogs, for the safety of your pet(s) and mine, only if they are from the same household. Love animals and miss fostering I did while in California. Your family member will be in caring hands who has years of experience with puppies and kittens who needed medication. I’m retired and have all the time in the world. 🤭 I still foster and mark my calendar as unavailable when I have foster babies. You can always ask if there is room for one more. 😉 New home with half acre fenced yard. Have a very active border collie who wants a playmate. My animals have always had the run of the house but I can provide a crate if need be. If you need an extended period of time, let me know. My last foster was 6 months old, from a local shelter and was here for over 2 months.
