“This was my first time using Rover, and, I am now a fan! Dana and her family were wonderful. I got videos, pictures, and updates while my dog, Doxie, was at her house. Doxie is very sweet, but, she is very powerful. That wasn't a problem. My dog got lots of outside time, and, she and Dana's dog became fast friends. I would have Dana watch Doxie again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking care of our girl!”


“Carla seemed great with my pup! I was nervous about leaving her for a whole week so I asked Carla to send pictures and updates, and she kindly obliged. My dog seemed to get along well with her Corgi and other dogs that were around. I was happy to see my pup got to spend a lot of time outside and with the other dogs. Thanks again Carla!”


“Zeus and Thor had an amazing time with Lieb! Thor loved hanging out with doggy friends by the pool. Lieb noticed Zeus’ introverted ways, so he let him snooze inside the house while the other dogs were outside. Lieb was also flexible with our return time (thank you so much for that). We will be back!”


“Jasmine is such a dog lover and so caring. She looked after our Rocky for an entire week and treated him like he was one of her own. Sent us photos and updates while overseas can’t thank her enough for doing so. Will surely book her again as we finally found our dog watcher. Thanks Jadyn for everything”


“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”


“Jennifer was a great sitter and Dakotah took to her Right away. I didn't know that Jennifer has a baby and this was Dakotah '1st exposure with a baby and they also formed a nice connection. I would highly recommend Jennifer and will be booking with her in the future. The Rover service fee's are pricey. That's one huge drawback, but i had a positive experience with my sitter Have a great day and thank you again kindly Jennifer.”


“Siobhan was amazing and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Lavender’s stay. Her yard is fenced in and Lavender sure enjoyed getting to run around with her dogs. I’m pretty sure Siobhan even groomed Lavender’s paws for me!!!! Lavender has definitely found a home away from home when I’m traveling. Thanks a million!!! Lavender misses her pals already.”


“Brittny was very communicative during the entire process and sent me photos of my little guy while I was on a business trip. Her kids really loved to play with Titan and he looked pretty excited in all the photos she sent over. I would definitely book again.”


“Ilona was great. She accepted a very last minute request and made it easy to meet and get Athena dropped off. She immediately confirmed when she was settled and sent updates. Our pup came back tired and happy. We could tell she had a fun active weekend.”


“Celeste did an amazing job taking care of my greyhound. Jolteon is terrified of cars and Celeste went way out of the way to make sure my pup was comfortable and safe. She gave him his medication without any difficulty at all. Her price is great for the care that she provides. I highly recommend booking Celeste to take care of your animals. I will be using her services be again very soon.”


“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”

“This was our first experience leaving our pup, Maddie (5 1/2 months), with a person who was not a family member. Morgan seems very knowledgeable regarding dogs.

They will never be left alone and you will be updated Daily!! Available for day care or nightly! There will be plenty of time for fun and walks in between eating and potty breaks! Potty breaks can happen as often as the pet needs them! We can add anything else upon request ! Your fur baby is always welcomed anywhere in the house and on beds and furniture, i want them to feel as comfortable as possible :) !

“Cindy was the best! Would highly recommend. We were in a tight because our son's surgery was rescheduled for earlier than expected and she agreed to watch our dog Remy very last minute. She was thorough in understanding his feeding/sleeping/bathroom needs and sent pics of him during his stay! She was easy to reach at all times and responded very quickly. She took him out for walks and played with him indoors when the weather got bad. We are grateful for such a caring thorough sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her to watch our Remy again. Thank you, Cindy!!!!!”



“Tiffany is a top notch dog sitter. She continuously stayed in contact with me about Buddy and took numerous photos. My dog is used to being outside going for walks most of the day and Tiffany kept him busy. Having her care for my dog put me at ease leaving him, I’ve only had him for a short time so it was difficult for me to have someone I just met be responsible for him. I will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”


“I can't say enough good things about Alizaida & the experience my dog Murphy had. She was a wonderful communicator & made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. She has a large yard & two wonderful dogs who have a great temperament that gave Murphy the fun he needed while I was away. I will be using Alizadia's services again for day care & boarding.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since an early age having grown up with 2-3 dogs at a time, administered meds for my own pets as well as neighbors, have volunteered at rescue clinics throughout the years starting in High School, have frequented many dog parks and currently am the proud owner of a rescue. I am a young, recent retiree who likes to do yoga and paint. I am available every day except Sunday. I volunteer 1 day a week doing a work study program at a local Yoga studio for 3 hrs. I am very flexible. I have a fur baby to keep yours company if i am hosting. I will go with the flow of your dog. If they like to play and run around, we will do that. If they prefer to take leisurely sniffing walks we will do that. Consider a booking with me like a retreat for your pet, they will get 5 star treatment and you will come home to a happy, fulfilled pet.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have experienced specific issues that dogs have had. My french bulldog at home has allergies and is blind. I’ve had to give her medicine and direct her around the house in a safe manner. I have also distributed medication to puppies when i fostered them! I love animals and specially dogs! I have two of my own at home in New York. I live with a 1 year old Black Lab. right now! I’ve fostered so many dogs from Final victory animal rescue, and have done doggy days out! I care for pets by taking them on walks, and following whatever instructions the owner gives me! I will shower them with love and make them feel comfortable in an unfamiliar space!
