“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”
“Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size”
“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”
“Tiffani took great care of my dog while I was away for a week. She made sure his medication was given twice a day, even setting an alarm so it wouldn’t be missed. She sent regular pictures and videos, which was reassuring, and my dog seemed to enjoy spending time with her dog. He can be very clingy, but she handled it without any issue. I’d be happy to have her watch him again and hope she’s available in the future! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”
“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”
“Zoe did a really wonderful job caring for my dog Dulcie. Dulcie has a trauma history and is anxious and a bit unpredictable. Zoe was amazing with her and helped her feel safe and secure. It was Dulcie’s first time at a sitter’s and I was so thrilled it went so well. Zoe sent photos and updates, and I could not be more impressed and grateful. Zoe is amazing!”
“They took very good care of our dog Poppy!! Great communication and really cute photos! They are watching her again in a few weeks, would definitely recommend!!”
“I highly recommend Rumi as a pet sitter! She stayed overnight with my pet, and I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, and genuinely cared for his comfort and happiness. Rumi sent regular updates and adorable photos, so I knew my pet was happy and well cared for. When I returned, my home was just as I left it, and my pet was calm and content. I will definitely be booking Rumi again for future pet-sitting needs!”
“We booked Wendy at the last minute and she was great taking care of our two dogs. She took very good care of our older Shiba and our puppy Husky. They were both very clean and happy when we picked them up. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Ah man, where do I even begin!? Sophia was incredible!! We arranged a meet & greet where our pup Oz got to meet her and the lovely Darla. It was a perfect fit. Our other sitter who was familiar with the parents of Oz (DOOM & Space) unfortunately had to cancel the day before and as crazy as it seemed to watch 3 Cane Corso’s at once, she did that! We are eternally grateful for Sophia for being so accommodating so last minute and really make our babies feel comfortable and loved. She sent detailed updates throughout our time away and awesome pictures. Highly recommend Sophia and Darla! We can’t thank you enough 🫶🏽”
“Sherry gave my dogs the attention and affection they needed while they were in her care. She has gone above and beyond for my one dog whom is a little difficult. We had a great experience.”
“Rosa was great. She provided daily updates with photos, which gave peace of mind. Our dog appeared well cared for and was happy when returned. Friendly and attentive- would recommend to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
“Janelle and her family were wonderful caretakes of our puppy. She is very attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of attention and love. He is very happy there and we would highly recommend Janelle!”
About: I treat each dog like a close friend because that’s how most dogs treat me. I’ve never been able to adopt my own because of the difficulty of finding a rental space that would allow one. I hope to learn the skills needed to be a good dog owner before. I have plenty of room for dogs. Dogs tend to like me a lot, even ones that I’m told tend do be difficult usually take a liking to me almost immediately and I have to say that love goes both ways. I’m excited to start doggie daycare, everyone has to start somewhere. I look forward to providing great service and learning the skills I will need to becoming a dog Dad. Thanks for reading. ;D
“Mylinda is FANTASTIC!!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of photos of their walks together. When I picked him up after a weekend away he was super happy. I'll most definitely have Mylinda watch my dog when I'm away in a couple of months. I would give her more 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”
