“I was a little scarred with my first booking on rover, but then I found Madison and I’m so happy I did! They were so kind, always kept me updated with photos and videos, showed me the area where the dogs would play before dropping my baby off, and even accommodated a last minute extra night. Will be booking with them again! 💙💙💙”
“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”

“This was my dog’s first time ever staying with a sitter and my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. When my flight was delayed, she was very flexible and gladly extended the booking. Leo was in great hands, and I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”

“Katelyn, did a great job respecting boundaries if your pet is scared or warry and is willing if asked, to get your pet comfortable with her if there specific requests your pet needs.”
“We were fortunate to have Trinity come to our house each morning for almost 3 weeks to care for our two cats. It was best to keep the cats at home and comfortable in their routines rather than traveling to a facility. Trinity checked in each morning and sent pics to me from each visit and that helped put me at ease. All went well and when we travel again, I wouldn’t hesitate to contact River and ask for Trinity again. Thanks Trinity!”
“Cynthia is a lifesaver. She stepped in at the last minute to rescue my cat when I urgently needed a sitter. She followed all our instructions and sent lots of photos. Highly recommend her.”
“Gretchen was really great with Suni and spent some time with him outside. She sent photos and updates during the hour and put up with the process to kennel him when she was leaving. We would definitely book with her again.”

“Maureen is beyond helpful, kind and knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my cat Kolo. I received very detailed updates on how he was doing and many useful pieces of information to better take care and make him more comfortable. Maureen really went out of her way to make Kolo feel comfortable, and even brought him toys, treats and a gift that I will cherish for a long time. I will be using her services again and feel very blessed to have had her take care of my cat. Would highly recommend to anyone!!”

“It was an exhaustive search to find sitters that also took care of cats and gave them just as much care and attention as dogs. I interviewed several people to house sit and look after my special needs cat, Scout, and knew immediately that Alley was the right choice—my instincts were right. She took the time to get to know Scout (Not an easy task) and won her over. She made sure that her schedule was on track and meds were administered at exact times. I came home to a happy Scout. I would definitely use her services again. Highly recommend.”

“Berenice is the absolute best!!! And her Doggies Mango and Molly are so patient and precious!! I was very nervous about leaving my 3 month old Storm for the first time, but Berenice made me feel so comfortable. Storm had the best day in her care and I'll be a repeat customer on a consistent basis. Thank you for treating Storm like one of your own. Truly Top Quality!!”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“Charlie and Shanna were amazing!! We needed last-minute doggy daycare for our 3 pups who are not used to something like that. They got us in at the last minute. When Shanna came to meet us for the dogs she was very sweet to them and reassured us that all would be fine. We are so grateful to them. I highly recommend Charlie and Shanna!!!”

“Erica is fantastic ! We were initially concerned about leaving our 5 month old puppy Lola for one week, but Erica quickly disseminated our concerns by demonstrating her knowledge and experience of dogs/puppies. She understands their needs and is good at meeting those needs. Our high energy, stubborn puppy learned how to "sit" under Erica's care! Need I say more ! Erica also provided us with daily updates/photos which really helped us enjoy our vacation without any concerns. When we arrived home, it was obvious that Lola too was pleased with Erica.”
“Bailey had a great time at Doggie Day Care last week. He played well with Jennifer's dog Harper and was treated to several walks a day, which he loves! We are booking again next week! Thank you Jennifer for the great care you provided for Bailey!”
“Our boys had a great time with Virginia! We had a last minute reservation for day care scheduled the day of and she was very accommodating and flexible with time. She took them on multiple walks during their 6 hour stay, one of which had a beautiful picturesque view of the water reservoir. She kept in touch and sent many pictures and updates and took great care of them like they were own! Would definitely recommend her services!”

Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again.

I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs.

My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs within my family and my own friend’s dogs and cats as well. I have always liked being around pets of all kind. I am currently in the process of finding a part time job, so I can make time with any and all pets. This means I am available during any day and any time. At home, I have a dog named Ajax who primarily stays in our fenced in front yard. He has access to outside through my own room. His food and water bowl is set in my own room and he sleeps in my room as well either on my carpeted floor or my own bed. I refill his water bowl once a day or it depends on how dirty he makes it and only give him only a bowl of food a day.
About: My name is Daisy I’m 28. I’ve been working with pets for 9 years as a dog groomer/dog walker/pet sitter so that means I deal with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and age. I can’t imagine doing anything else for work! I just get dogs and they get me. I have two big babies of my own. I am available for dog grooming needs upon request. I like to do meet and greets with dogs/cats before making set plans just in case but I understand sometimes reservations are last minute. As an animal lover I understand that sometimes dogs are picky about people and it could take awhile for a dog to get used to somebody new. I’m all about animals. They run my life. I like to make myself available for my clients and their pets as soon as they need me. Im pretty open to whatever the client needs both in my home and yours. I do require that your animals are friendly with cats/dogs as I have both if we’re doing over night stays.
“Ivania was AMAZING!! She was great with our two dogs and carefully listened as I explained care instructions. Ivania was so easy to work with and kept us up to date with pictures and videos each time she was with them. I definitely recommend her and will contact her again in the future. :)”
About: Ever since I was little I dreamed of owning a doggy hotel. But growing up I realized most doggy hotels are caged or crated the majority of their stays. I would never like my own dog to be caged in all day and only allowed a certain amount of outdoor time, so I started pet sitting at home! I have cared for my friends dogs for over a decade now. I enjoy experiencing different breeds and truly understand them. I have a deep tub for them to splash around in on hot days and a twin mattress in the garage for them to snuggle up in at night! Not a luxurious hotel I dream about but we will get there soon! Pet care is easy for me! I wake up and they are my first priority. I watch them all eat during feeding time and make sure no one is bullied out of their food. And separate those that need to be fed alone. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and companionship to your pets throughout the day. Because I’m home while working, I’m able to maintain your pet’s routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love and attention. My flexible work-from-home schedule also makes me a great option for house sitting, as your pets won’t have to spend long periods of time alone. I can be there to keep them company and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. At My Home Your pet’s comfort, safety, and activity level are always important to me. Pets in my care have opportunities to spend time in both the backyard and garage, where I spend much of my time with them. This can be a great fit for dogs who enjoy being active or need extra outdoor time throughout the day. Most guests have access to the backyard and garage while supervised, depending on their individual needs and temperament. At night, dogs typically sleep in the room with me so they have companionship and aren't left alone. Crate accommodations are also available for pets who are crate-trained or whose owners prefer that option. To help prevent food-related conflicts, dogs are separated during feeding times when necessary, allowing everyone to eat comfortably and safely. In Your Home When caring for your pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while giving them as much companionship and attention as they need. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and other physical activities appropriate for their age, energy level, and abilities. My safety Your pet's safety and well-being are always my priority. My partner may occasionally check in on me and can be available to assist if needed, helping ensure I have additional support while caring for your pets.

“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“This was my dog’s first time ever staying with a sitter and my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. When my flight was delayed, she was very flexible and gladly extended the booking. Leo was in great hands, and I’d definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“amazing sitter. He had our pup for 10 days. Sent us daily photos and videos. His house is perfect for dog sitting and he's also a very nice person. Thanks so much, will definitely use Jacobs services again”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Charlie and Shanna took great care of our pups. They are super responsive, really attentive and so kind. Shanna greeted us when we dropped off and picked up our dogs and made us feel really confident that our pups would be cared for. We got lots of pictures during their stay too!”
“Isabelle was great! This was my dog’s first sitter experience so I was a bit worried about how she would react, but I was glad to see that she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! I also appreciated Isabelle sending updates and pictures of my dog while we were away. I’ll be using Isabelle’s services again, and I highly recommend her!”
“We were so thankful to have found Trent and his wonderful family for our Buster!! We really appreciated the regular check-ins/pics and videos! They were so easy to work with. We will definitely be rebooking with them when the time comes.”
“Ami and her home were a great match for Henny. Coco and Henny got along very well during their meet and greet that I immediately knew it would be a great fit. Ami was very understanding and helpful. We received photo updates and when we picked up Henny she was very happy and we will definitely use Ami again and recommend to family and friends.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“We left our 2 bulldogs with Raquel and her family for 2 days. Our older bulldog is 7 years old and the younger one is 4 months. They enjoyed their stay with Raquel and family. Nothing but happy dogs in all the pictures. I was given regular updates on our dogs which really put our minds at ease. We will definitely call on Raquel again for boarding or sitting needs.”
“We were referred by a friend to Cameron. It was our first time boarding Lilo, so we were nervous and asked lots of questions. Cameron was quick in response and addressed my questions with patience. He sent videos regularly so that we knew our girl was having fun and brought us peace in mind!”
“So kind to our pups and made it so easy to coordinate. Super fast response times and sent lots of pics while the pups were with them. They even sent them home with cute bandanas that we will cherish always. Amazing care takers!”
“Taylor and Andrew took great care of our dogs. They sent plenty of pictures and updates about how they were doing, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nick. He was professional, reliable, and cared about my pet's well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy, and well cared for. I highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book with them again!”
“Good experience. Everything went smooth, my dog came back happy and healthy. Communication was good, i received pictures of my dog along the way and i could tell that the whole family loves animals. The price was fair as well. I would book again.”
