This was our first time leaving Hazel & Audrey. Teresa was wonderful and so accommodating to all our puppies needs. She kept us updated on their visit with great pictures that showed they were happy and well taken care of. Her home is a great setup for taking care of dogs- especially Doxies with little legs. It made our family trip more enjoyable knowing our pups were enjoying themselves as well. Thank you Teresa.

Laura and her family took care of our dogs as if they were their own. I thought they might not want to come back to us because from all the pictures and updates they looked like they were living their best life and having a blast at what looked like Dog day camp. Laura sent daily updates & pics. Will def use her again next time!

Marcy was absolutely great with Maya. She would send videos and text messages updating me on how Maya was doing. Her tail was always wagging and she looked really happy. I will be using Marcy again for future needs.

This was the first time our 2 girls Juniper and Honey have ever stayed overnight anywhere since we rescued them 5 years ago. We felt confident having Carolina watching our girls. Prior to their stay we did a meet and greet. Carolina has a very calm demeanor, and we were very confident that the girls would be comfortable in her home. She sent us pictures and gave us updates of how they were doing, which was nice. When we picked them up they were very happy, so we'll definitely be using her services again.

We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).

About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.

This was our third time using this sitter, and we’ve always felt very comfortable leaving Buddy with them—but this time truly showed how exceptional they are. We had an unexpected emergency with Buddy involving a neurological issue, and they handled it calmly and professionally. They called me immediately, followed my instructions exactly, and kept me updated throughout, which really helped put me at ease during a very stressful situation. They are incredibly responsible, attentive, and reliable. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Buddy and the support they gave me. I highly recommend them and look forward to bringing Buddy back once he’s feeling better.

I had a great experience with John. I booked on short notice and he was very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. He took excellent care of Carl while I was away and gave me real peace of mind the entire time. Communication was solid, and I received updates throughout Carl’s stay — it was clear he was being very well looked after. When I picked him up, he was calm, healthy, and completely himself, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of care he provides. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.

Funda was great. Her setup is a basement with a walk out to a nice yard for play and doing business. Took good care of my 12 year old dog who is not used to new things and she felt very welcome there and comfortable with the people and environment. Gave written instructions and did not need to clarify anything. Would definitely use again.

I had my 1 ½ old morkie with Suely this week for 3 days and the experience was quite good. It was my first time using Rover.com and Suely made me feel quite comfortable and at ease during our interview meet. She sent me pictures and updates during my trip. I will certainly book Suely again in the future.

Leaving my fur baby is never easy but working with Tricia B was a wonderful experience. She offered a complementary meet and greet with my pup before finalizing the booking to ensure it was a good fit for everyone. I received daily updates and photos which made me feel reassured. Tricia kept my boy active, providing a variety of activities for him each day which I plan to continue now that he’s home. Bentley will definitely be very happy to stay with her and her family again.

Kora was beyond well cared for with Valerie, I could not have been happier she was available. Valerie asked all the right questions to understand Kora and her needs and made her very comfortable. From the 1st pic 2 hours after drop off I could see how comfortable and happy she was. Valerie's communication was great before and during the stay, it's clear she loves animals. If Valerie is available do not hesitate to book her, made me feel comfortable quickly that Kora would be cared for well

Jenise took very good care of our dog Lewis while we were away for 2 weeks. She was patient with his hesitation to go outside for walks out of fear of thunder and used positive reinforcement and treats to gradually work through his apprehension. We received daily video updates about Lewis, which made a world of a difference in putting our minds at ease during our vacation. Thank you so much, Jenise, for your attentive care!
