“Our dogs always love staying at Brooke’s home. Very thankful to have a place we can trust they will be well taken care of when we travel out of country.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Our experience woth Pamela was amazing! We were beyond nervous leaving our Barkley but she made the process easy. We did a pre meet up and when I went to drop him off on he actual weekend, he ran right up to the door excited. I got frequent updates on how he was doing and pick was flexible after a flight delay! Our dog is not food motivated and she would add a couple drops of broth to his bowl to make sure he got some food. I appreciate the extra attention to his care! We will def use Pamela again for future sitting.”
“Sergio & Bethany are a very responsible and caring family. Our dog daisy was comfortable during her stay. We felt at ease leaving her in their care and we are planning on using their services again.”
“Kelly was the perfect dog sitter for our Hank! We loved the photo and video updates. He was obviously well loved and treated like a part of the family. Kelly went above and beyond and we are so grateful!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!”
“We got so many updates & pictures while away & our dog was so happy staying with Madison. We felt way more comfortable leaving him with her than boarding at a kennel. We would definitely use Madison in the future :)”
“Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“This was the first time I did boarding with Chandra. I could tall from the pictures that she was happy and had a good time. Cindy sent updates and pictures. This was a great experience for me and for Chandra. I recommend Cindy 110%. She is awesome!”
“Rachael and Tim were amazing with our Corgi. From the moment we had our first visit with them, we knew it would be a good fit. Rachael did a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout our dog’s stay with her. She is one of the best I’ve seen and always communicates. We will def use them again!”
“Highly recommend Kelly! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos during Tony’s stay. When our flight was delayed super late coming back, she was very flexible and willing to help us. We ultimately had a friend grab the little guy, but we appreciated how understanding she was. Thank you again!!”
“Lana was perfect for my reactive border collie. Her place is quiet and Fizz got plenty of quality time inside and outside. Bonus that she let me park in the other side of her driveway so I could head directly to the airport after drop off then directly back, simplifying my travel plans greatly.”
“Consistent videos, enormous property, playful environment, and I don't know if I've ever met anyone who loves dogs as much as Marina. It's was so so sweet to see all the videos of her hanging and playing with the animals. My dog can sometimes be a bit fussy but she immediately had him loving and obeying her. Will definitely come back!”
“Seriously so amazing! My pup came home super happy to have spent some time with Huaqing! So communicative and provided frequent updates for how my pup was doing! You’ll be so happy and thankful to have Huaqing watch your fur baby”
“We had such a great experience with Alani! From the start, she made us feel really comfortable by inviting us into her home to see exactly where our dog would be staying and to meet her family. That meant a lot to us. It felt very welcoming and gave me peace of mind knowing the environment he’d be in. Her home is beautiful and very well kept, which made it even easier to feel confident leaving our pupper in her care. Communication throughout was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alani again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“First of I want to say Erica was amazing! She took my request last minute when someone bailed on watching my puppy. She agreed to watch him for 9 days and took amazing care of him. She updated me constantly and sent me tons of pictures so I wouldn’t miss out on anything! She gave him lots of attention and cuddles! Dash loved her! He didn’t want to leave her when I picked him up! Will def book with Erica again”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“They accepted a last minute 2 night booking for my golden and she was well cared for. They respond to messages very promptly and kept us updated with photos. They have an awesome back yard too!”

She kept me updated with pictures and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared. Peanut came home happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It's not easy trusting someone with your dog, but she made the whole experience stress-free. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!🫶”
“Jadon did an amazing job caring for my two cats while I was away. He consistently sent photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I could truly trust him with my pets and my home. What stood out the most was seeing how comfortable my cats were with him in the pictures. They're usually selective about people, and it was obvious that they trusted him and felt safe in his care. I would absolutely recommend Jadon to anyone. He’s truly reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy.”
About: After taking care of cats in my neighborhood for 4 years, I’ve decided to come to Rover! I enjoy all things about cats and can’t wait to care for your pets. In addition to feeding, watering, and cleaning up after your cats, I believe sending quality play time and taking photos of your cats are essential to my job! With experience taking care of cats with medication and other special needs, I hope you choose me to provide top quality care for your cats! I am currently working towards a graduate degree in economics at ASU, so my schedule is largely flexible! I am available to care for your cats early in the morning any day of the week. Monday and Wednesdays I am free after 6pm, Tuesdays I am free after 8pm, Thursdays I am free after 3pm, and Fridays through Sundays I am free all day! I enjoy coming to play with your cats after class but I am more than happy to visit in the morning too! I am very attentive to any and all requests made to ensure watching your cats can be as easy as possible for your cats and you! I enjoy spending time to get to know your cats, but I won’t pressure them if they seem wary or stressed. I like to provide lots of pictures so you know your cats are well taken care of while you are away!
About: Having grown up with cats for over half my life, thanks to my sister’s three cats and my brother’s longtime companions, I understand feline behavior deeply, offering patient, affectionate, and intuitive care that sets me apart from other cat sitters.
“Lorissa is very friendly, and accommodating while being helpful. She cares for my cat and make him feel loved when am not around. She is proactive in her communication, and also follows directions for care provided. She has always gone above and beyond checking everything required for my cat to be comfortable. It was perfect and made my vacation stress free. Would definitely go with her when it comes to caring for my cat boy.”
“Adrienne was amazing and made leaving my fur baby that much easier. She made sure he was comfortable and got the enrichment he needed. Will definitely be looking to reach and book again in the future.”
“Took great care of our pets and followed all the instructions we had left for both the animals and the house while we were gone. Great communication and sent lots of pictures and updates. Left the house exactly as we left it!”
“Cora is every pet-owners dream sitter! She is knowledgeable, attentive, and goes above & beyond. Cora communicated well, sent adorable photos, watered plants, and even unexpectedly moved our car for us when it was going to get towed. She is the best! Would 10000% recommend her to anyone.”

“We needed someone to watch our 7 year old German Shepherd during the day while I went off and played old man baseball. Kelly turned out to be perfect. Very flexible and didn’t require any of these meet and greets a number of Rover sitters want. Being from out of town that never works. She sent pictures and videos four the four days we used her. Can’t really say much more she seemed to like him and he came back a tired pup. Good Job!!!”
“Danielle and Kyle were so accommodating to my hectic day and change of plans. My dog has a lot of energy and they seemed to handle her just fine. My pupster was clearly worn out as she went straight to bed once we got home. That’s exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to a sitter and a day experience for her, somewhere where she will have another awesome dog to play with, kind (and command following hosts), and just an overall loving and welcome experience. Will definitely use them again! My pup was soooooo happy with her experience and so was I!”
About: I have had a dog since I was a child and have cared for all types of dogs, from a mini dachshund to a great dane mix. I have experience with shelters dogs, dogs with anxiety, and service dogs. I currently work from home and do not have a set schedule. I do have family dinners sunday nights and am typically gone around 4 hours but otherwise, I am typically only gone an hour or so every few days. I live in an apartment but love taking the dogs out on long walks every few hours. I have a retired service dog who will keep your dog company.
“Micaela showed up early like I asked her to do. Very reliable and very sweet. She sent me pictures of my dog. I am very satisfied with her and would recommend her to my family and friends.”
About: Hey there, my name is Estefany. I am a full time student at GCU. My schedule revolves a lot around school but I love checking on pets during my free time! I can take short notice requests as early as same day visits as long as I don’t have much going on! When it comes to boarding pets I try to do mostly pets that are crate trained so they are safe at times that I’m not home. Your pet’s safety is my upmost priority! I have worked with many animals and many different personalities. Currently, I offer drop in visits and walks with no meet and greets required. I am not currently offering house sitting because I don’t think I have the free time your pets deserve when they have someone caring for them at their house!
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for dogs through every stage of their lives, from puppies to seniors. Over the years, I've learned how to provide attentive, loving care while understanding that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have also dog sat for other families. I like to ensure that each pet felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, maintaining routines, or giving extra patience and attention to senior dogs, I always strive to treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule/work from home, which allows me to give pets frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I am available 7 days a week and I make my own schedule so I am pretty flexible with the hours as well. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I enjoy creating a calm, consistent environment for every pet I watch. I live in a house with a gated backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise under supervision. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and pay close attention to each pet’s routine, comfort level, and needs. I like to focus on creating a safe, loving, and low-stress experience with plenty of attention, playtime, and updates for owners.
“Susan and Jim were so easy to work with. They clearly love dogs and provide the best care! I will definitely request Susan again. It was so comforting knowing Libby was safe. Thanks again!”
“Karli was great and super accommodating!!!! My dog came back happy and rested! Like he was on vacation too! I would definitely use Karli if I’m ever in the area again! Thank you ?”
About: I love watching fur babies and have been doing so since last five years. I would love and care your pup as my own. I am stay at home person whom you can easily rely on taking care of your lovely pup when you are on vacation/work. Feel free to drop a message to reserve a time. Currently, I cannot accept if your pup is Pitbull/mix with Pitbull, Rottweiler, Dobermann. I can dedicate my time to take care of your pup at least for 2-3 hrs a day/night. I can pick up/ drop off if i am available at that time. I have a fenced backyard where your pup can play and enjoy some fresh air. Also, I will take your pup for walks for every 2-4 hrs and follow the diet as specified by the owner. Can only take care of friendly pups. In summer time, will make sure to take them for walks no longer than 15 minutes once in the morning and in the late evening.
About: Your dog will be treated like family while staying in our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. One thing that sets my care apart is that I only accept one family's booking at a time. While I may care for multiple dogs from the same household, I do not mix dogs from different families. This allows me to provide more individualized attention, maintain a calm environment, and ensure your dog feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior dogs and dogs requiring oral or injectable medications. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm place to relax, I tailor their stay to what makes them most comfortable. While we live in an apartment, your dog will receive multiple daily walks, exercise, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and make sure dogs in my care get the physical activity and enrichment they need. My son and I love spending time with dogs, and Rover has become a wonderful way for us to share that love while helping pet parents feel confident their pets are being cared for. Since we do not currently have pets of our own, visiting dogs receive lots of individualized attention during their stay. I know being away from your dog can be stressful, so I provide regular photo updates and communication throughout their visit. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. Before booking, I always encourage a meet-and-greet so we can make sure we're a great fit for each other. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care receive plenty of attention and are not left alone for extended periods. Dogs receive multiple daily walks and exercise tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you're away. Because I only accept one family's pets at a time, I am able to focus on providing individualized care and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment for each guest. I only accept one family’s pets at a time, creating a calm, safe environment where each pet receives personalized attention, comfort, and loving care.
“Rachel responded immediately to all messages and communicated clearly. I didn’t expect my pup to be thrilled to get in a stranger’s car but she cheerfully went with Rachel. My pup was happy to see me when I picked her up but not needy which tells me she felt safe and cared for. I highly recommend this sitter and will use her again in the future for sure.”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!

“I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.”

About: Hello!! My name is Emily and I am a lifetime lover of dogs! I’ve had dogs throughout my whole life and found a passion for providing them with a safe and loving home 🥰. I specialize in high-energy dogs, along with dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup needs a walk, day care, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I would be thrilled to be that safe person for them while you’re away. I currently work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I am able to give your pup my undivided attention. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priority. Dogs will have separate meal times to relieve any meal-time stress. They are also welcome on the furniture for relaxing time and/or snuggle time ☺️. I live in an apartment with multiple spacious, fenced-in grass areas for pups! My apartment is very dog friendly and they provide many different dog spaces for pups to enjoy and socialize if wanted. For dogs staying in our home, I also have a 7 month old pup! Her name is Isla and she is the sweetest pup. She LOVES snuggle time, but also loves to play! She has already traveled a lot at an early age as a service dog, so she is a very well trained pup. I’m excited for her to create a bond with your dog and become life-long buddies! 🐾 I’m excited to meet and discuss how I can create a safe space for your dog! I’m thrilled become a reliable companion for your pup! I work from home with a very flexible schedule! I work on my own time, so I can help with your pup whenever you need ☺️ In my home I have a safe and open apartment space.

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 years old. I also dog sat for my neighbors, family, and friends. Anything your pet needs, I’ll try my best to provide! I currently am working full time at Chase Bank. I am gone from the hours of 9 am to 6 pm! I get up early in the morning and go on a walk myself and then another when I get home from work! I do not have a yard but I fenced in grass areas near my apartment to take your dog out to play and go potty. If you’re more comfortable with your pet staying home and me coming to check on them there I am more than willing to do that!
About: I love animals so much! I grew up around BIG dogs, smol dogs, cats, and birds. I've taken care of dogs of all types since I was a kid and I have been the go-to sitter/walker/drop in and hangout guy when my family or friends are out of town or stuck at the office late. I had a beautiful pitbull named, Artemis, who sadly passed away from cancer. She was my everything. Now, I have a bearded dragon named, Vermithor. I would take care of your animal(s) as if they were my own. I am energetic, playful, attentive, patient, and caring. I would treat you, your house, and your animals with the upmost respect. ***Rover does not have an option for other animals besides cats and dogs for care giving, so if you would like my assistance with any scaley, fishy, or winged family members then please message me to let me know what kind of family member you have and I will gladly help out<3 We would just have to use Zelle*** I am an Army Veteran working on getting my 2nd Associates Degree. Right now I am on summer break so that means my availability is wide open! If you have a fenced yard, I would let them out and be outside with them until they were done. If you don't have a yard, I would put their harness and leash on them so that we could stroll around outside. If they have a kennel, I would let them out and put them back in. If you have multiple dogs, I also have experience with feeding them in different rooms so that they do not fight over their food (if your dogs are like that). I am excellent at following any instructions left for me.
“Teresa has been absolutely wonderful with Stella, has walked her every day from 8 weeks to 6 months around lunch to help my husband and I with our work schedule. She provides clear communication and plenty of pictures and has been very flexible with our work schedules. My dog loves her! Would highly recommend her.”
“Taylor was able to cover a few days of walks for me while my regular rover was out of town. She checked in with me and made sure I knew when she was on her way to take care of my dog, which I really appreciated. She was a great help.”
About: There is something sooo special about cats and dogs. I try and read their minds and it’s fun. I’m super affectionate but also understand that each one of them are different and deserve the connection they require to be happy and to feel supported -and entertained. I can manage a flexible schedule. I’m flexible in general. I can take care of other duties needed while I’m caring for your home and pets. Weekends I’d be primarily be stationed at the client’s home and during the week, it depends on the day/s. I am a quiet person who likes to read, write and create. Being around animals does something for my soul and is why I am looking for pets to care for. I will accommodate what is needed for you to be able to continue the love and support your pets get from you while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and cats including fostering kittens through an animal shelter. I’ve helped friends with their dogs as well. I love both dogs and cats very much! I’m a full time student so my schedule varies but is overall very open and flexible! I’m available a majority of the time and for all holidays. I always treat pets like I would treat my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep spaces clean, and monitor them closely during walks or playtime.
About: There has never been a time in my life where I haven’t been around animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, and even mice! I’ve been pet sitting for about 10 years now for friends, family, and now clients. I’ve worked in a pet daycare/boarding facility and as a bather in grooming for about 2 years now, so you can be rest assured I have the training and compassion to take care of your furry (even feathered or scaly) friends! I am currently a part-time student, so I am available Mondays/Wednesdays after 4, Tuesdays/Thursdays after 2, and I have full availability (with some exceptions) on weekends! While I would love to care for your pets, I have my own at home and may need to break away shortly for short times during overnight sittings to take care of them. I am very adaptable to each owners needs. I am willing to play, walk, feed, or anything in between for your pets! I have no problem doing anything your dog or cat may require, even if that means taking care of the not-so-fun parts of owning pets.
About: it's a calling for me. after losing my best friend and pet soul mate(my rescue dog rocker) of 10.5 years to cancer a few months ago...that deep soul gutting grief made me me realize how much i love dogs (animals) and want to help and care for them ,with the same loving,caring, hand and heart i did/would my own and my families,while helping others by putting their minds at ease, knowing their pet and home are in excellent ,trustworthy, loving care. i am able to set my own work schedule currently and i tailor it to my clients sitting needs. I don't set my work schedule until i see what your sitting needs are, so there are no issues. i love and care for your pets in your home with the same love and care i would my own pets in my own home or a family members. i adhere strictly to your instructions and schedules when it comes to feedings, medications, walks, etc. i try to make their time in my care during your absence as routine as possible to alleviate or prevent any anxiety they may be experiencing by their parents not being home.
“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”
“Cora is an excellent sitter. She is very kind, polite, and cares deeply for animals. I'm very impressed by her attention to detail and very cute photos. It was a pleasure having Cora as our sitter and I will definitely book again in the near future.”
About: Hi, I’m Mali! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, starting with my own dog, Rajah, who is now a happy 15-year-old senior. I have trained both Rajah and my younger dog, Ripley, as service dogs, giving me extensive hands-on experience with training, behavior, and enrichment. My love for animals extends beyond my own pets. Growing up, I helped care for animals on a farm and even started a small neighborhood grooming service with a friend. Today, I share my home with Ripley and two cats, and animals continue to be at the center of my life. Professionally, I have over five years of experience as a veterinary technician, including four years in emergency medicine. I currently work as a lead veterinary technician in a surgical unit, where I care for patients before, during, and after procedures. This background allows me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am also enrolled in Penn Foster’s Dog Trainer Program and am working toward becoming a certified dog trainer. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, compassionate, and knowledgeable care while giving their owners peace of mind. I work Tuesday–Friday and am generally available after 6 PM on those days. I have much greater flexibility Saturday through Monday for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’m also open to discussing scheduling needs and can sometimes adjust when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I take time to follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special medical or behavioral notes. With over five years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am comfortable recognizing early signs of stress, illness, or medical concern and responding appropriately. I also have extensive experience handling pets of all temperaments, including anxious, shy, senior, and high-energy animals. I always approach pets calmly and respectfully, allowing them to set the pace of interaction so they feel safe and secure. I prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and consistency to reduce stress while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident and informed while they are away.
“The best dog sitter ever!!! Honestly Trinity goes the extra mile to make your dog happy. My lab is a big boy and she can get him to play and be totally exhausted when he gets home. He has gotten used to their daily walks and waits for her everyday. When we go back to Seattle we will truly miss her! This experience has been beyond my expectations! Thanks!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with animals, so caring for other’s’ fits into my routine perfectly! I currently work 7-4pm in Scottsdale, so I am able to pet/house sit around those hours. I am an early morning person and I have no problem getting up early to play with you pet(s) prior to going in to work! I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.
“Mel is awesome !! I feel so comfortable leaving Brewster in her care. She's so friendly, caring and punctual. She always gives detailed status updates after walks/ when she is boarding, and makes sure to send pics :) I had a bad experience prior to Mel and am SO relieved and happy to have found someone as great as her. I would recommend Mel to anyone 100%!”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats (up to 8 total in the household at any given time) and always loved playing, cuddling, and caring for them! When I was 13 I trained my newly born Border Collie (Sam) to be a wonderful and kind family dog. Currently, I care for my 5 year old cat (Loki) and a beautiful 8 year old Lab (Sochi.) I’m excited to love your pets as I would any of mine. I work remotely from home and have a flexible schedule during the week days. I am happy to drop in for the care your pet needs or take them on a fun walk! I can tend to any special needs your animal might have or special requests. Anything that will keep them happy and healthy is what I strive for!

“Our dogs always love staying at Brooke’s home. Very thankful to have a place we can trust they will be well taken care of when we travel out of country.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Eric‘s dog sitting service! He cared for our puppy, Izzy for 16 days and truly went above and beyond. From daily walks to giving her medicine and making sure she felt safe and comfortable at home, he treated her as if she were his own. Eric‘s home is spotless, welcoming, and perfectly suited for dogs. Izzy was pampered the whole time, and we loved receiving the constant stream of photos and videos that kept us connected while we were away. This with a surprise was the custom-made poop bag pouch with a cutout of Izzy - such a thoughtful gift! We felt completely at ease knowing Izzy was in his care and will absolutely turn to Eric again whenever we need help. Highly recommended!”
“Sergio & Bethany are a very responsible and caring family. Our dog daisy was comfortable during her stay. We felt at ease leaving her in their care and we are planning on using their services again.”
“We got so many updates & pictures while away & our dog was so happy staying with Madison. We felt way more comfortable leaving him with her than boarding at a kennel. We would definitely use Madison in the future :)”
“Rachael and Tim were amazing with our Corgi. From the moment we had our first visit with them, we knew it would be a good fit. Rachael did a fantastic job of keeping us updated throughout our dog’s stay with her. She is one of the best I’ve seen and always communicates. We will def use them again!”
“Consistent videos, enormous property, playful environment, and I don't know if I've ever met anyone who loves dogs as much as Marina. It's was so so sweet to see all the videos of her hanging and playing with the animals. My dog can sometimes be a bit fussy but she immediately had him loving and obeying her. Will definitely come back!”
“Seriously so amazing! My pup came home super happy to have spent some time with Huaqing! So communicative and provided frequent updates for how my pup was doing! You’ll be so happy and thankful to have Huaqing watch your fur baby”
“We had such a great experience with Alani! From the start, she made us feel really comfortable by inviting us into her home to see exactly where our dog would be staying and to meet her family. That meant a lot to us. It felt very welcoming and gave me peace of mind knowing the environment he’d be in. Her home is beautiful and very well kept, which made it even easier to feel confident leaving our pupper in her care. Communication throughout was excellent, and we always felt informed and reassured. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alani again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Susan and Peter were amazing! Coco was so comfortable and well taken care of at their house. They provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We are planning to have Coco visit Susan and Peter again in a few weeks. I would highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a trusted sitter.”
“They accepted a last minute 2 night booking for my golden and she was well cared for. They respond to messages very promptly and kept us updated with photos. They have an awesome back yard too!”
“Veronica and her husband were amazing!! Super great communication from start to finish and I just knew my dog was in great hands. Veronica stayed in touch with pictures of my pup and let me know how he was doing. I will definitely be using them again when we go out of town again!!!”
“We were stuck in Orlando for2 extra days, flight was canceled due to snowstorms. My dogs had enough food for their initial stay. Ezra and Reina took it all in stride. "No worries, we'll take care of them." They went out of their way to get Aurora's special dietary kibble. Fabulous, fabulous people. Thank you so very much for taking such good care of my 4 legged family!”
“David was so great to Rudy & Leahy. He communicated well, took phenomenal care of them (multiple walks daily) and gave them all the puppy love! I will request David to watch them every time moving forward. He is a great guy who cares about your animals like they are his own.”
“Elena took amazing care of Teddy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was kind, professional, and treated him like her own dog from the moment I dropped him off. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and when I picked him up, Teddy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious that she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Darbi and Nate were great! We had a few schedule changes post-booking and they were so flexible and accommodating. They took Finny in and just loved on him so much! Sent updates and pictures which was great! In fact…we’re convinced that the poor dog is mad we brought him home 😂 Highly recommend!!”
“Great dog sitter! She was friendly, communicated well, and sent regular updates that gave us peace of mind. We would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
“Roxanne was great and I will be rebooking for future sits. She was very flexible with the last minute request to watch Posie and even for a meet a greet prior. I knew Posie was in good hands from the update after drop off and I appreciate how she took the time to send me daily updates every day without fail. It really alleviated any worries I had of how Posie was doing. I could tell Posie had a blast with her as well and appreciated all the ball time she got. Thanks again and till next time!”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Kaitlin has now watched Rooster at least four times. Now when I drop him off, he happily follows her in without any fuss. When he comes home, he’s in good spirits and not overly tired or overly energetic. To me that’s a sign that things are going well. I will keep coming to Kaitlin.”
