“Repeat customer, they did an amazing job just like the first time! Many pictures, cute messages, and even gave us a sweet little photo of his stay to keep. They made him feel at home and he was a happy little camper when he came back. Thank you both so much!!!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Connie cares for my little senior spaniel, Zoe, like a member of her own family. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind I have knowing that Zoe is in such good hands.”
“Grace and her family were wonderful, caring, and so accommodating to our requests. She kept us updated with pictures and our family felt very at ease leaving our beloved dog in her care over the weekend. He had the best weekend with Grace's dog, Kaka. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking for a trusted pet owner to board their own dogs overnight.”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“thank you Kiryl for taking such good care of my boy in a pinch! it was such short notice and he was able to watch my fur baby and send pictures multiple times a day! i will definitely bring my boy to Kiryl to help me in the future.”
“Our dog Nova had such a good time with Joshua this weekend! He took great care of her and she loved playing with his dog. He was quick to respond on rover messaging and even sent us multiple photos and videos of Nova. Would definitely recommend and trust any pet with him.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Max with a sitter from Rover, and we were beyond satisfied with our experience with Ning. Ning clearly cares so much about her pups, sent us thoughtful updates and photos/videos of how he was doing throughout the day. She was able to keep him from licking his hot spot, used his cone overnight, and even applied a medicine to his paw nightly. She was sweet and professional. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Zohreh was very helpful! This was our first time leaving our pet (and using the app), and it was hard for my daughter, but Zohreh was extremely patient and friendly, sending us constantly pictures and updates of our dog, that helped my daughter (and us) to be calm and confident. We noticed in all the pictures that our dog was doing well (and she could be very nervous).”
“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”
“Highly recommend Nathan and Paula! If they’re available to watch Korra, I immediately book them. The peace of mind I get when she’s with them is unmatched. She gets to play with their girls, has access to a beautiful yard, and gets to go on jogs and hikes. She has such a good time when she stays with them, I’m not sure she wants to come home when it’s time to leave!”
“Yuki did a great job with our dog Jax. He has separation anxiety but she was patient with him and took him on a lot of walks to calm him down. We will be using her again.”
“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. My home is a safe, loving, and comfortable space where your pet will be treated like family. I have professional experience working in a Pet store for 1 year, which gave me great knowledge about pet nutrition, care, and behavior. As a pet-sitter I provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtimes, and endless hugs so your dog feels right at home while you are away. I provide regular photo and text updates so you never have to worry, sent as often as you’d like! Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. Hope to hear from you soon! Most of the time I am at home. I only step out for short personal errands occasionally, so your pet will rarely be left alone. This allows me to give pets constant attention, stick to their usual routine and offer regular potty breaks and walks. I live in a comfortable 2bdr apartment. Since I don’t have a yard, I take dogs on regular, enjoyable leash walks for exercise and potty breaks. My home is fully pet-proofed and safe. I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure your pup feels secure, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Kalvin was great, highly recommend! Was super accommodating to a last minute request and made drop off and pick up really easy. Rowdy was comfortable and had a blast!”
About: I had one Abyssinian and Ragdoll cat before, so I know how to take care of those cats. I will do everything that makes the cat comfortable and happy. I am available everyday after 3 pm. I can make special schedule based on your needs. I am flexible during weekends as well. Thank you I have everything needed to provide a safe and cozy environment for cats. I have things like cat litter, brushes, wet foods, cat toys, and air filters.
“Kelly was a very reliable sitter. This is our first time using Rover for our dog, and she relieved any stress we had with her caring personality and communication. She went above and beyond with Double and took the time to meet with us beforehand, as well. We would definitely recommend Kelly!”
“I was in need of a last-minute dog sitting service to watch my dog, Sid… I luckily found Cal and his family through Rover. He sent pictures of Sid everyday to update how he was doing and he has a small dog that got along with my dog very well….happy with the service… Recommend him highly.”

“Sophia is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever worked with. She truly understands feline behavior and knows how to handle cats with so much care and respect for their individual personalities. She followed all my instructions perfectly-and honestly, went above and beyond 100% of what I asked for. During an unexpected situation, she handled everything with great calm and expertise, while maintaining fast, clear, and reassuring communication with me. I felt completely at ease leaving my fur babies in her hands. I will be booking Sophia again for all my future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much, Sophia!”
“Irina sent us videos and pictures daily so we could see how well Teddy was doing. Teddy is in excellent health and spirits on our return. We are pleased with the great job Irina did for us.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for cats throughout my life, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I understand that every cat has their own comfort level, so I always try to follow their lead. If they’re playful and energetic, I’m happy to keep them entertained with toys and playtime, and if they’re more shy, independent, or relaxed, I’m patient and happy to give them the space they need. Whether they love cuddles or prefer to keep their distance, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“This was my first time using Novia, and she was terrific! She took great care of my little guy and provided wonderful updates at each visit. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Super grateful Irene was able to watch my fur king - 2 year old Ragamuffin Tyler 😊 we discussed all essentials prior to my work related trip and she followed up with me, gave me updates and took thorough and thoughtful care of my cat! I would book with her again. You’re in good hands with Irene!”
“Kailyr was very sweet to my senior cat, Buddy. It was my first time leaving him alone on a week long trip, and she did a great job of following instructions and giving him lots of love. I recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve cared for my Pembroke Welsh Corgi since he was 10 weeks old, and he is now almost five. I enrolled him in puppy classes, established a consistent daily routine, and have always stayed on top of his veterinary care, vaccinations, checkups, grooming, exercise, and enrichment. Raising him from puppyhood taught me how much patience, consistency, attention, and affection dogs need. I can also administer oral medication and am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I maintain a highly flexible schedule, so i’m readily available for midday walks and drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I can easily accommodate last-minute, same-day appointments. I plan my day around each dog’s usual feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routine. During boarding or house sitting, dogs may be left alone for up to three hours at a time, depending on their individual needs. Please let me know if your dog requires more frequent supervision before booking. I live with my boyfriend and our Pembroke Welsh Corgi in an apartment with a large patio. Guest dogs are welcome on our furniture and beds, and I do my best to make them feel like part of the family. Dogs are always supervised while using the patio. For boarding, I require a meet-and-greet with my Corgi so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs leashed outside, monitor interactions, and maintain their established routines. When house sitting or completing drop-in visits, I will treat your home respectfully and make sure it is secured when I leave. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for 13 years, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, and giving anxious or shy cats the space and patience they need to feel comfortable. I treat every cat like my own — thorough litter box cleaning, plenty of playtime, and close attention to any changes in behavior or appetite.
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life. I grew up with a cat and had one of my own in my 20s. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats while they were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely loving toward all animals, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Bennie and Jennie gave our 2 cats fantastic love, care, and attention while we were gone for almost 2 months to the extent that our two kitties didn't seem to really want to come home. We received daily picks and notes about their activities and care.”
About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m an animal lover and graduate student in Irvine. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets! I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, including my own cats since childhood. I currently have two cats that I adopted two years ago. I have extensive experience with cats, including senior kitties who need medication and extra support. While I specialize in cat care, I have also cared for many dogs as a pet sitter since middle school.
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life. I have two cats of my own who I rescued from a shelter. They love going on walks in their cat-friendly stroller or chasing their laser! I believe a loved cat is a happy cat and loving a cat includes cleaning their litter box, making sure they are fed and enriching them in whatever activities they are going interested in (lasers, mouse shaped toys, string toys).
“Very accommodating, reliable and Piysa seemed to love her. She was also very quick to inform me abou things and made sure to take plenty of pictures while I was away.”
“Very personable and enjoyable to work with. Attentive to details of care. Handled my standoffish Spotty very well and kept my personable Rufus entertained. Plenty of feedback on how the boys were doing. Was a very good house sitter.”

“Our lil furry baby loved Diana as well as the rest of her family! She came home everyday exhausted from all the playing and walkies which made my life easier! I definitely recommend her 10/10 could not have asked for a better dog sitter. She was super communicative and sent multiple updates throughout the day (which is helpful for anxious parents). They even went on adventures to the beach and to different parks and I was truly grateful for all the love she showed my lil fur child. She was truly AMAZING!”
About: I have a small dog and love taking him out for walks and playtime. If your dog joins us, they’ll have a buddy to play with and won’t feel lonely.

About: I’m an experienced animal lover with a deep understanding of pets of all kinds—big, small, young, old, and everything in between! I’ve raised over 35 dogs of various breeds, from French poodles and huskies to Yorkies and golden retrievers, as well as countless cats with unique personalities. I’ve potty-trained dogs to scratch the door when they need to go outside and even trained puppies using creative methods like sound cues and treats. While I’m not a certified trainer, my psychology background helps me understand animal behavior, whether it’s picking up on quiet signals or working with more vocal pets. I’ve also cared for senior pets with complex needs, like those with ear infections or watery eyes, always prioritizing cleanliness, proper feeding, and constant attention. I believe every animal has a unique personality, and I adjust my care to fit their needs—whether it’s giving a quiet senior cat space or keeping an energetic puppy entertained. With my hands-on experience, creative approach, and love for all animals, your pets will be in great hands with me! As a full-time UCI student, small business owner, and Sephora employee, I thrive on productivity and time management. While my schedule sounds busy, I’m motivated and happiest when I have plenty to do—especially when it involves caring for animals! I’m available Monday mornings (except 9–10 AM), Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. My Sephora schedule varies, but I typically work Saturdays, Fridays, or Sundays, and I’m always happy to adjust my availability to prioritize pet care. With advance notice, I can easily make time on weekends or other days, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my priority is to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your pet’s personality, needs, and routine, ensuring their care aligns with what they’re used to. Safety is always my top concern—your pet will always be in sight, on a leash when necessary, and given plenty of attention if they’re interactive. For pets who prefer space, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable while keeping a close eye on them. I’ll respect any household rules, like keeping pets off furniture, and stick to areas where you feel most comfortable. If needed, I can clean up after them, provide baths, or brush their fur (though I don’t do haircuts). I also have a sweet, friendly calico cat who’s great with dogs and cats, so if you’re open to it, I can even help your pet socialize. Whether your pet needs playtime, supervision, or extra care, I’m here to provide loving and personalized attention!
“Hannah and Dabin are very consistent with sending photos of Maggie throughout the day, and updating what she does. I felt very safe letting the couple take care of Maggie. Definitely will come back.”

By giving them the love and attention they require while their owner is away. Will be able to administer any medications or special foods they may need.

This was the first time I’ve ever used this app and the first time I’ve ever used a sitter for my dog. Morgan sent me pictures and videos of my dog playing with her dog. She up dated me on how everything was going. I never needed to ask how things were going because she was on top of it and had already sent me some info with pictures etc. All day I was so happy knowing my dog was having fun and in good hands. I will definitely use Morgan again. I highly recommend her!!! You won’t regret it.”

About: Pets and animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. Love them and I want to help you while you're out of the house. I work from home and can easily structure my professional day around your needs. I'd love to find a regular routine and build a relationship with you and your pet.

About: As a professional dog-lover, I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including volunteering at local shelters, watching over the neighbours puppies, and taking care of my very own puppy! I am comfortable and prepared to follow strict dietary rules, giving oral medication, providing active daily exercise, and most importantly, lots of love and attention. My client will receive daily photo updates and peace of mind while they are away. I fit dog care easily into my daily routine even as a college student balancing multiple rigorous courses. I only have 9 A.M. - 11 A.M. classes, so my afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free to focus on your pup. Before I head to school, I start my mornings with fresh food and a quick potty break. Once my classes end around 11, the rest of my day is dedicated to long walks, fun playtime, and keeping my clients dog company and happy. When I visit my clients home, my main goal is to keep your dog safe and follow their given routine. I will start by letting them out for a bathroom break, checking their water bowl, and feeding them on schedule. Then, we head out for a fun walk around the neighbourhood. I make sure the house is secure, locked up properly, and send my clients a quick photo update so they know everything went great.
“Rachel is wonderful - we highly recommend! We booked walking services by Rachel and will continue to, as she has a great demeanor; calm and relaxed yet assertive and warm. She’s knowledgeable and sends great, detailed updates and uses the Rover card each time. We’ll definitely be booking her services again!”

About: I’ve been raised around animals of all kinds since I can remember, my mother regularly raised foster kittens and we had foster dogs constantly in and out of the house. I currently still foster dogs and kittens on my own and am the go to sitter for all my friends and family. Spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues and also worked at a pet store for over a year. Also lover of small critters being a mom of fish, frogs, a hamster, and a spider. I currently work from home selling artwork and crafts so I’m very flexible with my schedule. I can stay all day or even over night and make sure to keep your pet company. I’m an avid hiker so I’d be more than happy to take your dog for a long hike (with permission obviously) or shorter walks around the neighborhood. I would only need to leave for short errands and to feed my own pets if my partner is unable to do so, but majority of time is dedicated to your Pets in your home. I’ve worked with animals of all ages and personalities and can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. If they are shy and need time to warm up, I will do all I can to gain their trust. If they need specialty food or medication, I have my own cats on a strict medication schedule so I’m more than used to it. If they are high energy and need lots of exercise I will make sure to get them up and running around as much as they need. I just want to make sure their lives are just as comfortable as when you are home with them.

I have many walkable areas where I can treat your pet to some fun and exercise to get them out of the house and tired enough to sleep comfortably later that night !

About: I am new to Rover but I have cared for dogs for about 14 years, beginning with my family dog, Fluffy, whom I cared for from 4 months old through her senior years. Fluffy learned several American Sign Language cues, which taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s body language, routine, and individual needs. I also dog sit for friends and enjoy giving dogs plenty of affection, playtime, walks, and calm companionship. With the owner’s permission, I love taking dogs on safe outings such pet-friendly coffee shops. I will treat your dog with patience, warmth, and the same loving care I gave Fluffy. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible and open throughout the week. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship. I am available on most weekdays and weekends, and I will keep my calendar updated as my schedule changes. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no children or other pets, so your dog will receive one-on-one attention. My apartment community has a dog park and safe walking areas nearby. I will always follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and sleeping. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable while your dog is in my care :)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and educator with a flexible schedule on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Caring for dogs has always been a passion of mine, and I love providing them with personalized attention, plenty of affection, and a safe, caring environment while you’re away. I have open availability on weekends and holidays, and my schedule is very flexible throughout the summer. I also welcome last-minute booking requests whenever my availability allows. Whether your pup needs a potty break, playtime, feeding, a walk, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to provide personalized care based on their unique routine and needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. For all first-time walk and drop-in bookings, a meet and greet is required to ensure we’re a great match and that your pup feels comfortable with me before services begin. For everyone’s safety, I only accept dogs that are current on their vaccinations.

About: I walk dogs of all sizes and follow each pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I also offer housesitting, including overnight stays. I have a 12-year-old Himalayan with stage 1 kidney disease and have always been a lifelong cat lover. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with asthma, and both social and shy cats. I’m experienced in administering medications for both cats and dogs, including inhalers, injections, pill dispensers, and topical treatments. I work full-time, so I’m available for weekday 20-minute check-ins within 15 miles of SNA, starting at 5:45 PM I’m available for walks and overnights, and have open weekend availability. Please message me if you have any questions regarding my availability or experience. Thank you! I work full-time, so I’m available for weekday walks and overnight stays after 5:45 PM, as well as 20-minute check-ins within 15 miles of SNA. I also have open weekend availability and can provide extended housesitting stays. I follow each pet’s established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.

I also keep owners updated with photos so they can feel confident their pets and homes are well cared for.
About: I’m an experienced animal lover with a deep understanding of pets of all kinds—big, small, young, old, and everything in between! I’ve raised over 35 dogs of various breeds, from French poodles and huskies to Yorkies and golden retrievers, as well as countless cats with unique personalities. I’ve potty-trained dogs to scratch the door when they need to go outside and even trained puppies using creative methods like sound cues and treats. While I’m not a certified trainer, my psychology background helps me understand animal behavior, whether it’s picking up on quiet signals or working with more vocal pets. I’ve also cared for senior pets with complex needs, like those with ear infections or watery eyes, always prioritizing cleanliness, proper feeding, and constant attention. I believe every animal has a unique personality, and I adjust my care to fit their needs—whether it’s giving a quiet senior cat space or keeping an energetic puppy entertained. With my hands-on experience, creative approach, and love for all animals, your pets will be in great hands with me! As a full-time UCI student, small business owner, and Sephora employee, I thrive on productivity and time management. While my schedule sounds busy, I’m motivated and happiest when I have plenty to do—especially when it involves caring for animals! I’m available Monday mornings (except 9–10 AM), Monday and Wednesday evenings, as well as Saturday and Sunday nights. My Sephora schedule varies, but I typically work Saturdays, Fridays, or Sundays, and I’m always happy to adjust my availability to prioritize pet care. With advance notice, I can easily make time on weekends or other days, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve! When caring for pets at a client’s home, my priority is to follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe and loved. I’ll ask detailed questions to understand your pet’s personality, needs, and routine, ensuring their care aligns with what they’re used to. Safety is always my top concern—your pet will always be in sight, on a leash when necessary, and given plenty of attention if they’re interactive. For pets who prefer space, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable while keeping a close eye on them. I’ll respect any household rules, like keeping pets off furniture, and stick to areas where you feel most comfortable. If needed, I can clean up after them, provide baths, or brush their fur (though I don’t do haircuts). I also have a sweet, friendly calico cat who’s great with dogs and cats, so if you’re open to it, I can even help your pet socialize. Whether your pet needs playtime, supervision, or extra care, I’m here to provide loving and personalized attention!

“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Connie cares for my little senior spaniel, Zoe, like a member of her own family. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind I have knowing that Zoe is in such good hands.”
“Victoria watched our dog Betsy for a weekend while we were out of town and everything went smoothly! Betsy was very comfortable and Victoria maintained communication daily to give us updates on her! She followed the schedule provided and took wonderfully care of Betsy!”
“Our dog Nova had such a good time with Joshua this weekend! He took great care of her and she loved playing with his dog. He was quick to respond on rover messaging and even sent us multiple photos and videos of Nova. Would definitely recommend and trust any pet with him.”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Max with a sitter from Rover, and we were beyond satisfied with our experience with Ning. Ning clearly cares so much about her pups, sent us thoughtful updates and photos/videos of how he was doing throughout the day. She was able to keep him from licking his hot spot, used his cone overnight, and even applied a medicine to his paw nightly. She was sweet and professional. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Katie was AWESOME! My little guy loved her and all of her roommates. She even got him to make a couple doggie friends which was really great. She regularly sent photos and kept me updated on all of his behaviors. I didn’t worry at all during my time away from Archer(my dog). I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Katie really did an amazing job.”
“Highly recommend Nathan and Paula! If they’re available to watch Korra, I immediately book them. The peace of mind I get when she’s with them is unmatched. She gets to play with their girls, has access to a beautiful yard, and gets to go on jogs and hikes. She has such a good time when she stays with them, I’m not sure she wants to come home when it’s time to leave!”
“Yuki did a great job with our dog Jax. He has separation anxiety but she was patient with him and took him on a lot of walks to calm him down. We will be using her again.”
“Our experience with Doug was great! Puppies are difficult, but Doug is patient and willing to work with us on trying potential solutions. We are so happy we found a reliable person whom we can entrust our doggos with!”
“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing with my pup! They took her on so many fun adventures and kept me updated with hourly photos, which I really appreciated. It was clear she was having a great time, and she came back home happy and relaxed!”
About: I grew up with a dog and learned how to care for and raise him from a young age. He lived a long life and passed away in my arms at 17, which taught me how deeply pets become part of the family. Later, when I became a parent myself, we brought two dogs into our home right away. One of them had a congenital condition, and for 10 years we cared for him very attentively, making sure he lived a happy and comfortable life. This gave me strong experience not only in daily care, but also in supporting dogs with medical needs. Now our second dog has lost his companion, and I came to Rover to be helpful to other families and their pets. Your dog will not feel lonely — he will have company, care, and a warm, loving environment. I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home most of the day. I structure my day around the dogs — regular walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. It’s very important to me to keep a consistent routine and give each dog enough attention, especially during moments when they may miss their owners. We go on daily walks in safe and pleasant areas nearby. There is also a dog park where your dog can play off-leash if you are comfortable with that, as well as many walking trails for longer, relaxed walks. I always adjust the activity level to your dog’s needs and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We live in a bright, spacious apartment where your dog will feel comfortable and safe. I accept one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so each pet can receive plenty of attention and care. My child is 16 years old and has a great understanding of how to interact with animals respectfully and calmly. You can leave all your instructions, preferences, and schedules — I will follow them carefully to make sure your dog feels at home and stays in their usual routine.
“Laura was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! She was so reliable, prepared, and also amazing at updates and fun photos. Between the sprinkler pad, long walls and runs, all the treats, and cuddle time they were spoiled rotten. Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups!”
“Rebecca and Tom are just wonderful, kind, caring and very knowledgeable about dogs behavior. After two attempts with Rover, I finally found a second home for my dog and was able to travel with peace of mind. I received daily messages and pictures during my trip and Rio was very happy the day I went to pick him up. Thank you for taking such good care of Rio! I think he is missing Hunter's company.”
“Kelli is so great and Bruce loves staying with her. I don’t stress out and feel guilty leaving him when I go away because I know he is in good hands with her. She sends me frequent updates and pictures which I appreciate so much. I highly recommend Kelli to watch your fur baby.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kids kinds, big and small since I was 16. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and board overnight their pets. I'm currently in school until 230p (Mon -Fri) and have plenty of time to play and walk your pups. I'm available for boarding on weekends. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe. I also have big park close to my home with walking paths and big green spaces for your pet to enjoy.
“Samantha provided kiya with an excellent stay! The photos and multiple updates put us at ease knowing our pup was well taken care of. Definitely will be using Samantha as my go to sitter 🐶”
“Emily and her family (Nyla included!) were exceptional looking after our dog River for a week. They were welcoming and friendly and we were very happy leaving River with them. Emily posted pictures everyday - which helped us relax on our break knowing that River was in such a safe and positive environment”
