“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.”
“Geisel sent multiple pictures and videos each day. She seemed to have a true affection for my dog Ollie and I was very comfortable that Ollie was well cared for”
“Matt was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, going above and beyond with our anxious Doberman puppy who struggled when we're away. He sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring - especially seeing them enjoy their daily walks together! His messages about their behavior and activities were super helpful, and we really appreciated how quickly he let us know about our pup's paw wound (which we already knew about). He truly understood how to handle our young Dobie's separation anxiety and kept both dogs happy and comfortable throughout their stay. His professional and attentive approach made what could have been a stressful time so much smoother for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“10/10 would recommend. Alexxa was very accommodating and a sweet sitter. I am very weary of this app, but my pup was in excellent hands. Absolutely would hire again.”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“This is the second time Kazue has watched our dog Coco and takes excellent care of her. Coco could be a handful because she loves being held and around people constantly. Kazue updates us with photo and video and we know Coco is well taken care of. Thank you Kazue for the excellent care and peace of mind.”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.
“Kristen was absolutely wonderful! She was flexible and accommodating when needed. She sent pictures of play time and how Milo was doing throughout the stay. I will definitely use her services again!”
“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 fur-child did well staying overnight with Lety. It had been about 6 months since he needed boarding again. My sweet boy was taken care with much love and care as always. My mind is always at ease knowing Niko is with Lety.”
“Caro and Chris are amazing sitters. They took such good care of Maggie and kept me updated with texts and photos every day. It was so nice knowing she was in such great hands. I highly recommend them. Thanks again guys!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She kept me updated the entire time with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She really took the time to work around my dog’s specific needs and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. I had absolutely no worries during the entire 3 days I was away. It was clear that she truly cared for him like he was her own. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy!”
“Sade was great, Rickie Boobie is a handful with tons of puppy energy, she connected with him right away, let him get acclimated. Everyday she sent me pictures and text reassuring me he was being a good boy . It was our first time and I am grateful for Sade, her husband and son for making Rickie Boobie welcome and loved. We will be contacting Sade again very 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!”
“Doh provided an amazing service for my dog. I normally hired her for house sitting at my home in the past. I decided to try out her boarding service at her house. I was so happy with the service she provided for my fur baby. Her home set up for dog is perfect for all size of dogs and it’s doggies safe house. I would recommend to anyone for her pet sitting services. Thank you Doh for taking great care of Rocky!!”
“I do not have enough words of appreciation what Miya did for our three dogs! Her kindness and detail oriented communication (text messages and videos) gave my family a peace of mind while away from home. Definitely we will rebook her again! Thank you, Miya!!”
About: My love for pets from a young age was so great that I willed my intense asthma and allergies to animals away by growing up with my childhood Jack Russell Terrier, Dash. For the canines, I have trained high anxiety reactive apartment dogs. and successfully established trust and security and worked together on their fears. For the felines, I adapt to their level of desired attention and mental fitness and remain as a constant presence - I don’t assume that they’re independent to be left on their own just because they are cats. I look forward to getting to know your companions and providing them a vacation too as you embark on your own~ I currently work full time (more detail in photos) and have a flexible hybrid work schedule to give your animals the attention they need and deserve. My fenced yard is secured and locked, so your dogs can roam freely in the yard (photos provided for more detail of the environment your doggos would be in)

“We usually do drop ins for our kitties but did house sit this time and it worked out amazing! Jazmine is responsible, dependable, and communicative. We get a pretty detailed recap of the day and lots of videos and pictures. Of course the kitties loved it and housesit worked a lot better for my cat that picks at his food throughout the day. We didn’t have to worry at all. Ty Jazmine you are the best!!”
“As a first time rover user, I was worried about the process and my cat and home's safety. Jenna was amazing and totally worth the book of faith. She was prompt, communicated well, and even helped me navigate the app. 10/10, will book again!”
“Taylor has been excellent!! Super consistent and communicative. She does a great job making sure I am informed about what goes on during the visits and ask for feedback on what she can improve which I really appreciate. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great sitter for their pets.”
About: I have immense cat care experience, growing up my family fostered kittens. My whole life I have had a cat, growing up I volunteered at a cat rescue that focused on cats with disabilities as well as ferals. I understand that every cat is different and cats deserve pet sitters too! Please reach out if you have any questions! (picture of my fat and happy cats for peace of mind!)

“Katherine was awesome! I felt very comfortable knowing she was checking in on my cat daily - she sent tons of photos during yer visit, and made sure to update me on everything. She was really quick with her responses as well! Thank you!!”
“Mel is awesome! Very professional, easy to get along with, great communication, reliable and absolutely great with our dogs! Frank (our large male pitbull mix) and Becky (our medium female bulldog) both adored Mel from the first moment they met her. She is very much Frank and Becky approved! Mel's done a great job taking care of our pups, she's a fantastic pet professional, and we highly recommend her services!”
“Danielle accepted our request for drop in visits very quickly and on short notice. And on every visit, she sent a little update and photos :) Our cats look happy and well fed!”
“Jennifer and her daughter did such a wonderful job looking after my kitty for the week while I was on vacation! Jennifer sent me lots of photos and updates the entire time. My kitty came back happy and healthy, I would absolutely use them again in the future for my cat-sitting needs!”
“Markita was available with only a one day notice following scheduling problems with my previous cat sitter. This allowed me to continue my trip to the east coast. Her care of my cats while I was out of town, was exceptional. Markita is kind, conscientious, and reliable. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of cats most of my life as an owner and sitter. I have cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. I enjoy cats that play cuddle or just do their own thing.
“Natalie did an amazing job from start to finish! I had to leave town on fairly short notice, and she was still willing and able to accommodate my pets needs. I have two cats with very different needs, one is older and spicy and takes medicine daily, and I was so impressed by Natalie’s ability to care for her and administer the medication successfully. my older cat even warmed up to Natalie’s gentle nature and allowed some affection! She was also great with my younger cat, who required daily play sessions. Directions I left were followed to a T, and Natalie provided such nice report cards and many photos at the end of each visit! I have a hard time leaving my babies, but Natalie made me feel like they were in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone, and plan on hiring her again as my sitter whenever I can!”
“Michelle did an excellent job watching my cat. I love how she sent lots of pictures and she wrote details about each visit. My cat is super shy and by about mid-week Michelle sent pics of her petting and even holding my cat. I could tell my little one was in good hands. I’d hire Michelle again for sure.”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING with my kitten. She shared lots of photos and updates. Lizzie is a very high energy and playful kitten and I know she had the best time with Elizabeth. Lots of playtime and lots of love. So grateful to Elizabeth for making leaving Lizzie behind so much easier because I know she was cared for in every sense of the word. thank you!!!”

“They took care of my pup like she was their own. Drop off was a breeze and pick up went flawlessly. They provided periodic updated of my dogd temperment and attitude which helped me feel at ease.”
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Richard was the perfect playmate for my active young dog. They went for walks and played together all day. Communication was very easy, clear, and frequent. Richard and his wife are both very kind and flexible with my schedule. Im sure my Sophie will look forward to spending the day with them again soon.”
“We needed a doggy sitter last minute and Jennifer and her daughter were amazing! We were from out of town and did not have our normal dog sitters. They took my dog Bree on very short notice to look after the whole day. I went off of reviews and they did not disappoint! They sent me pics and updates. I was so grateful they were available. They were kind and personable. I could tell Bree was well looked after. I would definitely recommend!”
“Matt was absolutely fantastic Very responsive and accommodating. Professional and friendly. Highly recommended Gerty & Wally we’re excited to play with Matt and his adorable dog Kobe. They were both happily exhausted when I picked them up. We will definitely rebook for future needs”
“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life since childhood. Ive had inside and outside dogs, I would bathe, feed, and teach them how to sit, lay, and stay. I love having animals around, they bring the extra joy I think everyone needs in their life. I currently work from home, so I can give them extra attention and keep them company. I can take them on walks every few hours as well as bathroom breaks when needed. I live next to a park, so I can take the pets for walks and use the restroom. If they need to be in a crate or outside, I have a patio where they can hangout to get some fresh air.
“Davis was flexible and allowed us to drop off Beryl earlier. He seems to be enjoying looking after pets. Our initial meet left a positive impression and we’ll definitely book again if we watch another event around Golden 1 stadium.”
“I highly recommend Joel! My old girl was calm and happy after her day stay. Extremely considerate of Lola’s needs. She’s a picky pup and can be stressed by strangers, but not with Joel. Didn’t have to worry about her safety or well-being. A great help and huge relief.”
“Becky is the best dog sitter ever. She takes such good care of my dog Charlie, she’s very reliable and the best dog photographer. I know my dog is safe and happy when he’s with her. Thank you again!”
“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 :)”
“Kristen was amazing!! She took my last minute request for day care and took very good care of my dog Mochi. She was very nice and responsive, thoughtful of the way she introduced mochi to her dogs, and even proactively sent me tons of cute photos of Mochi. Would recommend !!”
“We are so glad we chose Alexandra to watch our puppy. She was awesome with our 6 month old puppy Rooney. She walked him and sent us pictures of his day. Her dogs got along great with ours and at the end of the day our pup was tired out. Which was perfect for us since we were at a meeting all day. Very trustworthy and kind. If we need care in the future we would definitely choose Alex for the job.”
About: I am returning to Rover after a long hiatus while pursuing my PhD. Before my beloved Stella (black pitty) passed away, we had a wonderful time dog-sitting for clients. After many years of grief and a very, very busy life in my doctoral program, I have another doggy companion, Bruce. We enjoy working from home together and are excited to care for your pets! Training my boxer, Bruce, has been such a rewarding experience, and we hope to have the chance to help others on their journeys to build strong connections between handlers and their beloved companions. Working from home allows me to adapt to different needs and routines to stick as closely as possible with your pets current routine to give them a sense of familiarity. My boxer, Bruce, knows when it is time for his meals, bedtime, or when I need to step out to run errands for the day. I intend to do the same by adapting to your pet's routine so they feel at ease.
“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!”
“Martha was very attentive with my dog Arthur! We had booked a daycare visit and will be using her again in May twice! She was very professional and was always keeping me updated with my dog. I love how detail oriented she was with always letting me know how Arthur was.”
“Miya is incredible! She took the time to research my dog’s breed and focused on acclimating my dog to her home and surroundings. I appreciate the fact that she cared enough to take the time to observe whether our dog was a good fit for her and vice versa.”

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
“Payton did an excellent job managing my very excited and not at all leash trained 8 month old golden retriever which is not an easy job but helped us get through a time where I could not walk him and he needed extra attention. Payton is a great communicator, punctual, attentive to details and accommodated my dog's needs. I am so grateful for her help and services. She definitely deserves 5 stars!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾
About: Experienced with all types of dogs, including special needs. Skilled in walking, handling, overnight care, attention to detail, comfortable in medication administration and accurate dosing My schedule is wide open and flexible. I’m currently attending school to become a veterinary technician while looking for a part-time job, so I’m available to provide reliable, attentive pet care in the meantime. I’ll always be respectful of your space, house rules, and the routines you’ve created for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: As an educator with a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable pet sitting, feeding, walking, playing with pets, following detailed routines, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I'm also completely comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, including cleaning up poop and other messes, because I know that's simply part of keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I've had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pet and your home while you're away. While I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, I would love the opportunity to give that same care, attention, and affection to yours. I look forward to getting to know your pet, making them feel comfortable and loved, and caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 My schedule allows me to provide pet care on weekends and during times when I'm not working. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I do my best to work with each pet owner's routine and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I take caring for someone's pet and being trusted in their home seriously. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences their pet may have. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and the pet's surroundings to help keep them safe and secure. I also make sure to clean up after pets and leave the home tidy, because I believe respecting someone's home is just as important as providing loving and dependable care for their pet.

About: My name is Marissa and I'm am excited to return to Rover! My love for animals has been around since I was a child but blossomed during my time volunteering for an animal shelter. In addition to my volunteer work, I had an English Springer Spaniel for 11 years and a cat for 8 years, so I have quite a bit of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have administered oral medication, washed and walked dogs, helped train dogs, and brushed their teeth. I'm very patient with all cats and dogs and give them my full attention. I'm available most weekends and some weekdays, especially with advanced notice. Any specific requests? Let me know and I'll be happy to accommodate! I am currently working M-F from 8:00-5:00, but can accommodate weekday drop-in visits with additional notice. My main availability is on weekends and holidays. I take great care to ensure my clients’ homes are respected. I always offer to water any plants or do any small chores in addition to pet sitting.
“Douglas is great, very friendly, professional, and you can tell when you first meet him that not only is he good with animals that he’s also good with people. He pay close attention to your pets and their needs and doesn’t push them. We found a permanent person for are furry family members....”
“Jasmine did a wonderful job looking after my dog while I was out of town. She was super helpful and my dog loved her! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Grace saved the day! I was too sick to take my dogs out after work but Grace came over with just a couple hours notice to walk my two energetic dogs. She took them on nice long walk and brought them back to me nice and tired. I could tell my dogs felt comfortable with her right away and she was not at all overwhelmed by their high energy. Highly recommend!”

“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.”
“Geisel sent multiple pictures and videos each day. She seemed to have a true affection for my dog Ollie and I was very comfortable that Ollie was well cared for”
“Matt was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, going above and beyond with our anxious Doberman puppy who struggled when we're away. He sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring - especially seeing them enjoy their daily walks together! His messages about their behavior and activities were super helpful, and we really appreciated how quickly he let us know about our pup's paw wound (which we already knew about). He truly understood how to handle our young Dobie's separation anxiety and kept both dogs happy and comfortable throughout their stay. His professional and attentive approach made what could have been a stressful time so much smoother for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“10/10 would recommend. Alexxa was very accommodating and a sweet sitter. I am very weary of this app, but my pup was in excellent hands. Absolutely would hire again.”
About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.
“Kristen was absolutely wonderful! She was flexible and accommodating when needed. She sent pictures of play time and how Milo was doing throughout the stay. I will definitely use her services again!”
“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!”
“Caro and Chris are amazing sitters. They took such good care of Maggie and kept me updated with texts and photos every day. It was so nice knowing she was in such great hands. I highly recommend them. Thanks again guys!”
“Doh provided an amazing service for my dog. I normally hired her for house sitting at my home in the past. I decided to try out her boarding service at her house. I was so happy with the service she provided for my fur baby. Her home set up for dog is perfect for all size of dogs and it’s doggies safe house. I would recommend to anyone for her pet sitting services. Thank you Doh for taking great care of Rocky!!”
About: My love for pets from a young age was so great that I willed my intense asthma and allergies to animals away by growing up with my childhood Jack Russell Terrier, Dash. For the canines, I have trained high anxiety reactive apartment dogs. and successfully established trust and security and worked together on their fears. For the felines, I adapt to their level of desired attention and mental fitness and remain as a constant presence - I don’t assume that they’re independent to be left on their own just because they are cats. I look forward to getting to know your companions and providing them a vacation too as you embark on your own~ I currently work full time (more detail in photos) and have a flexible hybrid work schedule to give your animals the attention they need and deserve. My fenced yard is secured and locked, so your dogs can roam freely in the yard (photos provided for more detail of the environment your doggos would be in)
“The pups enjoyed their time and we got a lot of updates which we prefer. We felt confident that the dogs were being well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“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.”
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
“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”
“Cedric & his family are so wonderful with my high energy girl & make her feel at home! He was able to help me out after I had someone cancel last minute & he’s always so communicative & helpful. I always know my Mila is in great, safe hands while under his care.”
“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.”
