“Last minute change on our trip plans had us leaving our boys behind. Ashton and family were quick to respond and host them while we were gone. Daily updates and photos; even washed them before pickup!! Great service, boys are safe and happy on pickup.”
“Alissa is fantastic. She took very good care of our little chihuahua Lilo. I loved getting the picture updates and communication was top notch. She got back to me very quickly on every text or message I sent. Her house is pet friendly in a great location. Lilo doesn't like most people. She seemed to bond with Alissa, which is saying something about her. It tells me, she is kind, loving and trustworthy. Which I'd the only way to get Lilo to like you. I would not hesitate to use her pet sitting services again, and would highly recommend her as the perfect fit for taking care of any dog. Thank you Alissa for taking such good care of little Lilo!! AAAA++++”
“I will definitely be boarding with Marina again in the future! She has amazing accommodations for the fur babies she’s house sitting, and I got so many pictures of my dog having an absolute blast. They have a gorgeous fenced in play pen specifically to use as a dog yard, and everything is so nicely kept.”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“This was dog Copper's first time staying away from home, so there were some worries from my wife and I. However, as soon as I dropped him off with Wendy and Rob our worries were put at ease! Wendy and Rob do a great job of communicating and sending photo updates each day. They have a nice home with a spacious fenced in area. We will definitely be repeat customers in the future!”
“Angela did a great job of taking care of Watson. I picked him up happy and healthy. He really enjoyed playing with her dogs and kids and the pics she shared with me daily showed how comfortable and content he seemed there.”
“Valerie watched our little Winston over the long holiday weekend. We had a wonderful experience and Winston was very well cared for. Valerie sent us photos and updated each day. Winston enjoyed the playmates and the big back yard. He came home pampered and happy. We will not hesitate to use Valerie again, she is great with the pups.”
“Ryleigh came home not only happy, but clean!! I would highly recommend Shannon to keep your baby dog! Ryleigh is a sweet dog but is timid around other dogs until she warms up and gets to know them. Shannon kept me updated on how she was doing and sent pictures.”
“Thank you Jan for taking care of our Fuzzy. We traveled at the last minute and were planning on keeping our dog with us in the hotel. We decided to search to see if there are any sitters available in the area and that’s how I found her with awesome reviews. She was prompt in responding to my messages and was able to coordinate care. We received constant updates with messages and pictures.”
“I have only positive things to say about Jennifer. Her responses were lightning fast, she was accommodating with pick-up and drop-off, she took excellent care of Vika, and even gave her a bath before she came home. Jennifer is a top notch dog sitter! Five stars for sure!”
“Brittany was amazing! She helped us out last minute and was very responsive. I appreciate her taking her time to get to know my dogs. She sent pictures and videos. The puppies looked and seemed to be comfortable and have lots of fun. Totally recommend Brittany!!”
About: My name is Alexandria, and I absolutely love all the pups! I would love to care for your fur baby and get all the cuddles while you enjoy your time away! I’ve got 8+ years experience being a kennel tech and would be better accommodated if I could do it remotely. I haven’t met an animal yet that I didn’t love caring for! I work for Bay District Schools so I am off for the summer and have plenty of free time and am accommodated to sit small breed dogs. I have a 3 month old miniature schnauzer and a 5 month old plott hound beagle mix that are the light of my life aside from being a mom! I sit for family and friends but am looking to expand. I can care for pets in-home, and can be available for house visits. I’m very experienced in nail trimming and bathing. I do not offer grooming services but will if necessary.
“This was Dolce's first time staying with Jessie and her pack. We appreciated the daily updates and pics. Dolce came home happy and wiped out! That's always a good sign. We hate leaving her behind, but when we do, it's good to know she will be well taken care of. Thank you Jessie”
