“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“This was my first time leaving Neffi with a sitter and first experience with Rover.com. Irina provided a clean environment and safe yard for Neffi to play. I would like to thank Irina for her excellent communication, photos, and professionalism. Irina did a great job following Neffi's sleep and feeding schedule, so that there was no break in schedule when Neffi returned home. Irina definitely made my first experience a great experience. I would refer her to friends and family! Thank you, Shalanda”
“Oso had the best time! I loved getting updates . We will definitely keep Kerstin as our regular sitter ? She was so friendly and awesome with our sweet boy .”
“Patty is amazing. Very kind. Very thoughtful. And, truly loves dogs. She treated our pup with the highest of care and took excellent care of her. She’s responsive and extremely accommodating. We had some travel issues and she was very helpful and flexible. Can’t say enough about her. Looking forward to Kala staying with her again soon.”
“Best rover out there! They truly love and respect animals, and they provide lots of picture updates. My pup had so much fun she passed out right when she came home!”
“Achara was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job communicating how Sammy was doing throughout the day sent pictures just overall a really great experience and I absolutely use her again.”
“Ingrid and Oscar did a fantastic job caring for our Husky. They were so nice and know dogs so well. Was extremely comforting to leave our dog with them. Great updates throughout the stay. Our Husky Callie loved the multiple walks a day!! Amazing dog sitters!”
“Elsa and Luka always have an AMAZING time when hanging out with Alexandra and her pups! Their smiling faces are all the proof I need. Thank you for always taking such great care of them! ☺️”
“Michele and her family did an excellent job caring for my 8-year-old Aussie for nearly a week. Coordination around pick-up and drop-off was smooth and timely. Michele kept me updated on how Ellie was doing and ensured she got two walks a day, which I greatly appreciated. I’ll definitely be using her services again.”
“Hana was great! She looked after the dog like it was her own and always updated us with what ever they were doing. She sent pictures and videos every day of their daily excursions. She let him sleep in bed with her and even cooked for my little baby when he didn’t eat his own food. Highly recommended and will be using her in the future!”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Eros loved his stay. They have a wonderful and clean home and gave Eros lots of love and attention. I got plenty of updates and photos and videos. I will definitely be keeping Joanne and Jim as my first option for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“Zariyah seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with our sweet pup. Her house has a great set up for dogs, with spaces for them in her home and yard. She has children that made my dog feel at home. She even treated him special while he was there for a holiday. I would definitely bring my dog here for another stay.”
“I had a mix up with other care and Katherine was able to accommodate Tashi over Christmas in a pinch! I felt super comfortable with her caring for Tashi and her two resident dogs made Tashi feel like she was on a 4 day long play date! Can’t recommend enough. Thank you, Katherine”
“Michael has cared for my rowdy husky several times, and my dog is always excited to see him. He understands her needs and takes good care of her. He also sends a lot of pictures and updates, which I truly appreciate!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Experience!!! I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Care Leaving Tonka for the first time was honestly nerve racking, but Naiomie made the entire experience stress free from day one. She sent me updates, photos, and videos throughout every single day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. It quickly became obvious that she wasn’t just watching him, she genuinely cared about him. She took the time to learn his personality, celebrate his milestones, and even pointed out little behaviors that helped me become a better dog owner. She introduced him to her dogs slowly and safely, and before long they were playing together like old friends. Seeing my puppy build confidence, socialize appropriately, and genuinely enjoy himself meant the world to me. She even noticed that Tonka learned to ring the bell when he needed to go outside and made sure to reinforce that behavior. What impressed me most was her attention to detail. She kept his bedding clean, cleaned his eyes daily, monitored his potty habits, let me know about behaviors that needed training, and adapted her routine to fit what worked best for him. She didn’t just tell me everything was perfect, she gave me honest updates and thoughtful observations, which I really appreciated. By the end of his stay, it honestly seemed like Tonka had become part of the family. She told me she was sad to see him leave, and I could tell the feeling was mutual. As an owner, that’s incredibly reassuring. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like they’re her own, communicate consistently, and provide exceptional care, I recommend Naiomie without hesitation. Tonka will absolutely be staying with her again. Thank you, Naiomie, for taking such incredible care of my boy. You gave me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars!!! Highly recommended!!!”
“My dog Oreo had a great two weeks with Marilee and Joe. Oreo had loads of fun playing and wrestling with their dog Zuko who is a great role model for my 3 year old pup. The entire family welcomed and played with Oreo. He even got to go visit the river to swim! 😊 🐕 💗 💦 Marilee was great with communication and sent photos of my happy pup! Lol! He had such a great time I was sort of worried that Oreo would be in withdrawal when we got home without all of their company and attention! We are planning on having Oreo visit again when we go out of town.”
About: I’ve been around/cared for dogs for more than 20 years of my life and still continue doing so. From having my own dogs at home to taking care of dogs in other peoples homes, I make sure to do my best work when taking care of them. I’m currently working from home, but with very flexible time. This gives me lots of time to be able to spend time with your pups here at my house or simply to just give them time to enjoy the outside in your own home/place. There may be some weekends where I can offer boarding or check-in’s. I have a huge fenced yard along with two playful pups that would love to have friends over to run around with or simply keep company for naps. I make sure to follow each rule and direction that is given to me in order to make your fur baby’s stay/check in as smooth as possible.

“Millie was amazing with our puppy Zoey! She love all the attention and play time she gotten. She knocked out form all the fun. Millie was great with communicating on setting up the appointment and follow up after everything was done. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and it totally allowed me to be at ease with my busy day at work while the pup is at home.”
“We had a great experience with Hans while we were on vacation. Our cats were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we returned. Communication was excellent, and daily updates were great!”
“Davina is AMAZING. I used Rover for many years and she’s the best cat sitter I’ve ever worked with! Super helpful detailed updates, lots of photos, and follows all the instructions seamlessly. She even brought her own cat toys and my lazy cats LOVED IT! My cats loved her because she gave them so much love. I will definitely reach out to her for my next trips!!”
About: I nursed my own cat Pepito through post-femur surgery recovery — medications, restricted movement, patience. I know what devoted care actually looks like. I read cat moods intuitively, respect their boundaries, and genuinely love playtime. Your cat won’t just be checked on — they’ll be engaged, observed, and truly cared for.
“Very kind and attentive. When she saw something was up with my little ones she immediately contacted me giving an efficient but detailed description of the issue.”
“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”
“Christina, again, was an amazing sitter to my 2 cats! She’s always very communicative and professional and takes great care of my cids! I also had to change plans and extend my trip and Christina was very willing to help out. :)”
“Working with Audrey was a pleasure! Professional, friendly, and our usually very shy kitties took to her right away. Also she took such cute pictures 😄 I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
About: I have experience with cats with & without fur. I believe cats are members of the family and should be treated with mindful care. Each cat has their own needs and personalities and I can’t wait to get to know them.
About: I’ve been helping with pet sitting for cats for about 2 years now. I have a cat of my own and I also help family and friends by taking care of their cats when needed. I am able to feed them, play with them, and administer any medicine they need.
About: I love caring for animals. I have cats and dogs myself and understand their many needs such as what they eat, how often they need to go potty, exercise and playtime and peace of mind that they are all ok. I am currently available every day 9:00 am - 9:00 pm. to check on your pets and give them attention, food, and exercise. Would love to meet your dogs and cats! When I arrive at your home I’ll take them to go potty, feed them, change their water and anything else to help with their routine.
“You can tell Reginay loves animals. She is very patient and works with your pet to make sure they are comfortable. Very communicative and will send pictures and videos throughout the day. Toni loves his stays there. 🥰”
About: Hi! I’m new to Rover and so excited to start meeting all of your adorable fur babies! While I’m new to the app, I have 4 years of experience caring for pets. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, and comfortable experience while you’re away and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own and keep you updated with plenty of cute photos along the way! 📸🐶🐱❤️ I can’t wait to meet them!
“Erika was fantastic! She took outstanding care of our very mature (19-yo) cat. She provided updates with photos twice a day. She spent time giving him attention, took care of the litter box, handled the house alarm system with out a hitch. She even collected the mail and provided updates on the yard after a storm. Things could not have gone better!”
“One of our cats is on a lot of different medications so I was happy that Felicia was able and willing to take care of him while we were gone. Plus our very shy cat came out from hiding to play and socialize which was nice to see”
“Kendra was very attentive to our animals. She gives detailed check ins with pictures. I felt our animals were well cared for. I will definitely request her again.”
“This was our first time using a cat sitter for our two cats, and Aicha was great! Kind and detail oriented. During our two week trip, Aicha sent updates and photos. It was a big help and relief.”
“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”
About: An eight-hour-plus workday is too long to be without your furry babies, and that's where I come in. I've been a proud feline pet parent since 1999, and I'm still at it now with three cats. It's not always easy, but it's always rewarding. My experience with my fur babies ranged from delivering newborn kittens to full-grown senior cats. I have also provided vet care, taken in strays, and finding some of them new homes. So, if you hire me to do drop-in visits with your feline children, expect me to tend to them as if they are my own. I know that most people will use this service to go on vacation. But most people who are on the daily 9-to-5 grind might not get that privilege. My drop-in services are primarily for those who can't check in on their feline pet during those hours, but I am flexible. Going on vacation? not a problem. Cats need constant mental and physical stimulation. Therefore, when I arrive, I will engage in playing with them, replenishing the food and water bowl, and cleaning out the litter box. If you have any specific requests, please let me know, so I can accommodate them. I'm a pet parent of three myself, so I'm able to devote my time at least six times a week in the afternoon. My cats are the only children I have, and they mean the world to me. So if you choose me, please expect the best care.
“Ana was a great sitter. She took care of my two cats and parrot and was super enthusiastic and friendly. She even fed my parrot fresh fruits and vegetables. I'll definitely be using her in the future!”

“Anna was a great communicator and responded quickly when I reached out for her to dog sit and during the day of dog sitting. She sent photos and updates throughout the day, which were greatly appreciated. It was our pup’s first time with a Rover and we were unsure how she’d do, but Anna was so gentle and made her feel as comfortable as possible. It usually takes a few encounters for our puppy to warm up to someone to let them pet or carry her, and Anna was able to do that in the same day. Our puppy is only 5 months old but Anna made us feel so at ease with leaving her in Anna’s care and home. I’d definitely recommend Anna :)”
“Koi was in such good hands. Reginay kept us updated through out the day to let us know how Koi was doing. She also sent us pictures and videos. We definitely recommend Reginay. We will be booking with her in the future.”
“I couldn't ask for more from a dog sitter. Marcie followed my instructions, provided a comfortable environment with positive stimulation, kept me updated with messages/pics and was just an overall pleasant person. Wonderful job!”
“I dropped off my 7 lb chihuahua, Molly, for a daycare session with Hana yesterday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I’ll admit I was really nervous at first, Molly is tiny, and there were two other dogs there, one of whom was super excited to meet a new friend. So much energy can make Molly hesitant, but Hana immediately stepped in with calm, confident leadership. She set clear boundaries to help everyone settle down, which made me feel so much more comfortable. Throughout the day, she sent me several videos showing Molly relaxed and happy, calmly hanging out with the other dogs and going for a nice walk. By the end of the day, Molly was curled up on the couch with Hana, her husband, and her two new friends, a huge sign of trust from my usually cautious little dog! Hana showed wonderful leadership, genuine care, and constant attention throughout the day. I left feeling completely reassured and grateful to have found someone so capable and kind. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Wonderful experience and loved all the photos and updates!! Manuel took great care of my pup and treated her as his own. Nice fenced in yard and great pup of his own. 10/10 would recommend ?”
“My chihuahua does not always like meeting new people but I could tell he warned up quickly to Bari. Definitely a relief since I was nervous about how he'd do. Nice and good with dogs 5⭐ and the occasional pictures also put me at ease during his stay”
“Irina is a lifesaver! I reached out at the last minute the night before, and she responded immediately, accommodating our needs. I have two small senior dogs, and she was very attentive to them. She sent me videos and photos of them throughout the entire sitting. I felt very relieved knowing my babies were safe and at peace. We will definitely hire Irina again for all our future sitting needs.”

About: Dogs have always been family to me—not just pets. I raised my Chihuahua mix, Lala, from the time she was a puppy and helped care for Grace, a rescue pit bull who came to us extremely underweight. Watching Grace transform from skin and bones into a healthy, confident, loving dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. I also care for my friend's Chihuahua, Coco, whom I treat like my own. Through caring for Lala, Grace, and Coco, I've learned that every dog has a unique personality. Some are energetic, some are cautious, and others simply want to be close to someone they trust. I take the time to understand each pet and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience includes preparing high-quality meals, providing fresh water, bathing, brushing teeth, monitoring behavior, giving plenty of affection, and making sure each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I believe the best care goes beyond meeting basic needs—it's about creating an environment where pets feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. When your pet is with me, I'll care for them with the same patience, love, and attention I gave Grace, Lala, and Coco. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, overnight boarding, or house sitting, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and personalized care. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give belly rubs, play with them, clean up after them, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being.

“Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Vigo. She is clearly very experienced and comfortable with all different kinds of dogs, which immediately put us at ease. We felt completely confident leaving Vigo with her for two consecutive days while we visited Sacramento. Katherine has an excellent system for thoughtfully and safely socializing dogs, and it was clear that Vigo felt comfortable with her and engaged right away. Our dog has A LOT of energy and loves to run and play, and he was genuinely happy and very content when we picked him up both days. We couldn’t have been happier with the care Vigo received. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone with dogs of any breed or temperament. We wish she lived closer to us for regular stays but will absolutely go back to her any time we’re in the area.”
“Julie was amazing. My puppy had so much fun and such a good time. We will definitely be back here! I felt safe leaving him here and was sent a picture of him during his stay which was the best to receive!”
“Brandee provided fantastic care for our beagle. She is a good communicator and is super easy going. She sent photos of her daughter snuggling our dog, which sealed the deal. We’ll be back!”
“Ollie always loves the days when he gets to spend with Manmeet! In fact at drop off, he usually forgets in there and runs to meet her knowing he's gonna have a great day!”
“Amanda is fantastic! My boy, Dickson, absolutely loves going to her house for daycare. He has so much fun and is always pooped when he gets home. Amanda takes great care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout his stays. I will definitely keep using Amanda for my dog sitting and boarding needs.”
About: I’ve been taking care of a repeat client’s pets since 2021, and I’m always proud of the care I provide—even on my busiest days! Recently, I’ve started spending more time outdoors exploring nature, so there’s a chance your fur baby might get to join me on a fun camping trip (only with your permission, of course). I am available Mon - Sat. Please let me know if you need bookings on Sundays. I also do need a phone number from my client as I like to update them with tons of pictures🥳 I have a 20x20 fenced yard and have 3 sweet, loving, mixed, barker poodles(lol!) & All of my dogs are up to date on their vaccines.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, so caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with rescues, fostered dogs, and recently rescued a pup of my own after moving to the Sacramento area. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own, with patience, love, attention, and plenty of affection. As a fellow animal mom, my goal is to make your loved one feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. Since I have a dog of my own, my days already include regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m able to adjust my schedule based on each dog’s individual routine and needs, making sure they receive consistent care, companionship, and love throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medications or special instructions closely and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have a flexible schedule, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly pup of my own and make sure any introductions are done thoughtfully so everyone feels safe and comfortable.

“Aicha was really great with our very senior dog. she got him out and walking and he seemed very happy to be in her company. I'm glad she was free to take care of him while we were at work.”
“Amanda and her family are wonderful! My dog is a big boy and they are able to handle him. I can tell he has a great time because he is exhausted when he gets back. I have them walk him twice a week.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 12, but in the last 2 years or so I have helped family and friends with their dogs whenever needed. I am able to feed them on time, take them out on walks and potty breaks, play with them, and administer any medication. I’m currently only working in pet sitting and babysitting jobs. Watching pets is my full time job and I love it! I am available anytime and any day. I have a fenced yard that creates a safe area for dogs. I have an indoor cat that is very shy and will probably be in my bedroom with the door closed. She is very friendly.
“Milagros was fantastic! Our pup Zoey was so excited to spend some time with her and was super bummed to see her go. Milagros worked on some commands and doggo etiquette while she was here and was very respectful of our space. I can always tell when Zoey has a good time because she zonks out afterwards. 😴 I know Zoey is looking forward to more walkies and play time with Milagros soon!”
“Cory is AMAZING! He did such a great job taking care of our anxious/obstinate girl. He really went the extra mile when caring for her and his communication is AWESOME. Would definitely recommend Cory!!”

About: My passion for animals started at a young age. I often pet/ house sat for neighbors, friends and family. Many relied on me to care for their furry family members, knowing they would be diligently taken care of. I believe each pet has their own personalities and needs, deserving of mindful attention.

I believe in going the extra mile and making sure pets needs are met with compassion and care. I have a fenced yard and multiple bedrooms. Your animal can be crates or roam the house with us. I am home most of the day so your furry family members will have a day full of attention and care. I have a 10 year old step son who loves all animals too.

I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.
“Krystal is an amazing dog walker. She took such great care of my dog during our morning and evening walks! She communicated very clearly throughout the process and paid attention to details, such as making sure my dog had her booties for hot days. I have already rebooked future walks with her and highly recommend her services.”
“Abby has been a great walker for my little girl, Jacqui. She’s easy, friendly and reliable. I appreciate it a lot when she informs me right away if there will be any changes regarding the walk. I will very much continue using her services! Thanks Abby!!”
“Bari was great to work with! She promptly kept us updated of her visits, sent us pictures of our two dogs on their walks, and gave them lots of love while we were away. We would recommend her, and plan on asking her for help again in the future!”
About: I had dogs for my entire childhood and as an adult, I regularly volunteer at our local shelter to take shelter dogs out for the day to help socialize them, give them love, and to just give them a change of scenery. I would be honored to care for your fur baby! I currently work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, so I have very flexible availability those days so I can fit your pup’s needs. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8am to 4:30pm, but am fully available afterwards. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pup to run around if needed. I am happy to board, so long as your pet is comfortable staying in the yard. We have rabbits in the home, so unfortunately we cannot have dogs indoors.

“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Oso had the best time! I loved getting updates . We will definitely keep Kerstin as our regular sitter ? She was so friendly and awesome with our sweet boy .”
“Achara was absolutely amazing! She did such a great job communicating how Sammy was doing throughout the day sent pictures just overall a really great experience and I absolutely use her again.”
“Elsa and Luka always have an AMAZING time when hanging out with Alexandra and her pups! Their smiling faces are all the proof I need. Thank you for always taking such great care of them! ☺️”
“Michele and her family did an excellent job caring for my 8-year-old Aussie for nearly a week. Coordination around pick-up and drop-off was smooth and timely. Michele kept me updated on how Ellie was doing and ensured she got two walks a day, which I greatly appreciated. I’ll definitely be using her services again.”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Eros loved his stay. They have a wonderful and clean home and gave Eros lots of love and attention. I got plenty of updates and photos and videos. I will definitely be keeping Joanne and Jim as my first option for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“Zariyah seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with our sweet pup. Her house has a great set up for dogs, with spaces for them in her home and yard. She has children that made my dog feel at home. She even treated him special while he was there for a holiday. I would definitely bring my dog here for another stay.”
“I had a mix up with other care and Katherine was able to accommodate Tashi over Christmas in a pinch! I felt super comfortable with her caring for Tashi and her two resident dogs made Tashi feel like she was on a 4 day long play date! Can’t recommend enough. Thank you, Katherine”
“Michael has cared for my rowdy husky several times, and my dog is always excited to see him. He understands her needs and takes good care of her. He also sends a lot of pictures and updates, which I truly appreciate!”
“My dog Oreo had a great two weeks with Marilee and Joe. Oreo had loads of fun playing and wrestling with their dog Zuko who is a great role model for my 3 year old pup. The entire family welcomed and played with Oreo. He even got to go visit the river to swim! 😊 🐕 💗 💦 Marilee was great with communication and sent photos of my happy pup! Lol! He had such a great time I was sort of worried that Oreo would be in withdrawal when we got home without all of their company and attention! We are planning on having Oreo visit again when we go out of town.”
About: I’ve been around/cared for dogs for more than 20 years of my life and still continue doing so. From having my own dogs at home to taking care of dogs in other peoples homes, I make sure to do my best work when taking care of them. I’m currently working from home, but with very flexible time. This gives me lots of time to be able to spend time with your pups here at my house or simply to just give them time to enjoy the outside in your own home/place. There may be some weekends where I can offer boarding or check-in’s. I have a huge fenced yard along with two playful pups that would love to have friends over to run around with or simply keep company for naps. I make sure to follow each rule and direction that is given to me in order to make your fur baby’s stay/check in as smooth as possible.
“Demetra took excellent care of our 4-year old lab, Midge. She was excellent at communication and sending photo updates from Midge's walks and playtimes in the backyard. We recommend her without hesitation.”
“I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Leaving Atlas for a full week was a huge step for me. He is a rescue dog who has experienced trauma, and this was the very first time I had left him with someone since adopting him two years ago. From the moment I dropped him off, she understood exactly what he needed. Rather than pushing interaction, she gave Atlas the space and time to come to her on his own terms while he adjusted to a new environment. That patience and understanding meant so much to me. Throughout his stay, she sent frequent updates and pictures, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. She was always quick to respond whenever I reached out and made sure all of my instructions were followed carefully. If anything wasn’t clear, she asked questions rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, she treated Atlas like family. He received plenty of snuggles, attention, and playtime; including one of his favorite activities, fetch. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. She went above and beyond to make both Atlas and me feel comfortable, and I am so grateful for the care she provided. The biggest sign of how well she cared for him came when I picked him up. Atlas was incredibly excited to see me, but after greeting me he ran back over to her for one last snuggle before we left. As his mom, that told me everything I needed to know about how safe, loved, and comfortable he felt during his stay. I would absolutely trust her with Atlas again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter.”
About: I have owned dogs most of my life from a Doberman pinscher to a chowchow to an Australian cattle dog and a couple cats throughout my life. I love animals! I no longer have our latest family Australian cattle dog who was with us for 17 years and miss being around animals. I am an independent contractor in real estate so I can set my own hours. I’m very flexible! I love to get out and walk a lot for exercise for myself as well! I give them lots of love and attention that they need. Play with them and make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well fed at their eating time
“Rebecca is awesome, teemo is generally an anxious dog but she did such a fantastic job at keeping him comfortable. She sent daily updates/pictures and teemo was a happy boy when he came back!”
