“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter/ second family to Cubbie. She is always so attentive, gives frequent updates (about his sleeping, walking and play mates at her house.) My husband and I call her summer camp for Cubbie. She is a wonderful person and extremely communicative. We have had Cubbie stay with her several times and she is our go to person. We can’t recommend her enough.”
“Mari was exceptional. Absolutely exceptional. Not only did she communicate all the time but she sent so many pictures and videos. I did not expect Lloyd to get on so many long walks with Mari, but he did! Lloyd was cared for so well. Thank you, Mari!”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“Liza took amazing care of our special girl. She was very responsive and demonstrated both confidence and kindness with our reactive pitbull. She’s amazing and we will absolutely be working with her in the future!”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”
“This is only the second time I have boarded my dog, and since I’m usually home all day with her, I wanted to make sure I left her with someone who would be home all the time and able to monitor her the way I do. Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Brianna was great! She was responsive and easy to schedule with. She watched my dog for 3 nights and sent an update with a photo daily! I have already rebooked Guinness for his next stay with her. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second stay that our two pups had with Bruce, and it won't be the last. We found our "go-to" dog sitter. They received excellent, loving care. All of my instructions regarding feeding, supplements, meds, etc. were followed to a T. Detailed updates and photos were sent at least twice daily. It is obvious that Bruce loves being in the company of dogs. If you need to travel for business or pleasure and want total peace of mind, book Bruce. You will not be disappointed. Prior to booking with him for the first time, I read through hundreds of his five-star reviews. Very well-deserved! We are grateful that we found him.”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“Noemi and David were absolute amazing hosts. They were able to accommodate me last minute and were very communicative during Teddys stay. They have a a sweet, friendly family who truly love the pets that stay here. I recommend these hosts. 10/10”
“Just wanted to say, we had an amazing experience with Anthony! Blaze was exhausted… we received pictures and videos everyday! And he was very accessible… when ever we needed him… or had a question! We will be using him again very soon. Definitely recommend his services. The Fox’s #5stars”
“Michal was wonderful in all ways. Sweet, kind, loving and generous with Henry. Thank you so much Michal we are already booked for another stay with you soon! I would recommend Michal without reservation for dog sitting, Thank you!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Teresa and Karina! They kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!”

“Finding Sarah was a lifesaver. She is great with my Matilda and kept me in the loop while I was out of state. Very reliable and will definitely have her sit again. Highly recommend.”
About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.
“Carole was great! Was very flexible with a nearly last-minute booking and took great care of our two cats, including administering medicine to one. She also took EXCELLENT pictures of them that my partner and I obsessed over while we were out of town. Would recommend her any time!!”
“Mari was fantastic! Fed our 3 cats while we were away and scooped their litter. Was so nice not to come home to a smelly house! Appreciated the photos she took. Will definitely book her again! Thank you, Mari!!”
“Leah was very attentive and sent me timely updates. She asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. This was a super last minute booking and I'm glad we found Leah!”
“I can leave my cat with Jen and feel confident that she will be given the attention and care she deserves. Jen is an all-star, and I am fortunate to have her taking care of my companion.”
“Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!”
“Marsela was amazing! My cat Mari is normally shy and hides whenever a new person comes over, but she became best friends with Marsela in just a couple days. So thankful to have such a thoughtful and communicative cat sitter, and I really appreciated all the cute photos and updates!”
“Francesca has provided the kindest care to my baby, much love!! She was super sweet and communicative. I ran into some unexpected issue right before the pickup time, she was very understanding, flexible with the time, and had been a lifesaver. If you need to find yourself a trustworthy host in the new haven area, highly recommend her!”
“Phoenix was hands down the best pet sitter we have had through rover (or otherwise). He was on time, attentive to all our cats needs, provided thorough updates, and made sure our cats got love while we were out of town! We will definitely be booking him in the future and you’ll be lucky if he is available to care for your pets.”
About: I have had animals my whole life… big dogs, little dogs, cats, all of the above! I have been responsible for watching them for everything, ranging from overnight trips to midday walks and meals. I am a responsible, loving, and attentive sitter who will have the most fun with your pet❤️ I currently work a 9-5, so am free early mornings and nights. I am also open to weekend walks and over night visits, depending on your needs! I will abide by your household rules and preferences when watching your fur baby! Can do everything from feeding, playing outside, walking, and even just providing them some company!
About: I have had 4 cats and 2 dogs throughout my life. I absolutely love animals and grew up pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors!! Grew up with all kinds of pets, my personal specialty being feisty rescues. Love them all and happy to accommodate special care instructions!! I am a full-time grad student, so morning and evening visits are preferred - although I can often accommodate one lunchtime visit during the week! I care for pets in the clients home only, as I have a temperamental rescue cat at home that isn’t trusting of other animals. I am happy to accommodate special care instructions for all kinds of animals and will be sure to give lots of love every time I visit! Feedings, walks, litter pickup, play time, etc. (:
“Nicole is the best! We’ve had her take care of two cats. Nicole is responsive, takes great photos, and writes thorough, funny reports! We’d hire her again anytime.”
“Pauline was reliable, sent us daily pics and updates, and kept the house clean! We have an old kitty (nearly 20 years) who requires daily meds and TLC. All went smoothly while we were gone.”
About: For the past 5 years I’ve taken care and rescued dozens of stray cats. I have adopted 3 of said stray cats and have loved sharing life with them and playing with them for the past 4 years. I love to say cats love me as much as I love them.

“Liza was wonderful. We need a last minute booking for a holiday and she accommodated us very easily. Our Goldendoodle, Biscuit, was very well cared for. He doesn’t always do well away from us and can have some separation anxiety. He was at ease and enjoyed himself. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“I'm so glad that I met Mari and wish that I had met her years ago to take care of my gentle boy, Logan! Mari is a wonderful individual, the kind of person who makes you feel like your soulmate pup will be in caring hands. She was flexible with our meet and greet & also when the original date changed. Mari is a calm, kind, friendly person who cares about the well-being of your doggo. :) She doesn't take on more than 1 dog at a time, which means your pup will get the extra attention they may need. This is reassuring in case one dog isn't a fan of other dogs or plays rough. Logan is 12 years in age & has slowed down due to a previous leg injury. It was important for me to leave him in a safe, calm space with an attentive, kind person. Mari's home was truly the right place for him! During Logan's visit, Mari kept me updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of cute photos. I really appreciate Mari's kindness with Logan & taking good care of him. I know that he felt good being with her. Thank you, Mari!!”
“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”
“OMG THE BEST! Mariana took such great care of Galileo. And she took care of ME as well. I felt so safe leaving the little man with her. There were constant updates and photos and so much love. I wish I lived closer so I could use her every day!!!”
“Zuly and her family took wonderful care of my poodle, Babette. She is a great communicator, and understands the needs of dogs from years of experience. Her home was neat, immaculate, and felt very welcoming. I look forward to using her services in the future!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so kind, caring, and attentive, and I could tell right away that my dog was comfortable with her. She kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It is clear that Julia genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and lots of attention. I provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and a calm, clean environment. My home is best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and enjoy a peaceful setting. Safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet parents are always my top priorities. I’m home a stay at home mom, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and care. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to stick closely to your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide a clean, calm, and safe environment. Pets are always supervised and cared for with their comfort in mind. My home is best suited for dogs who enjoy a peaceful setting and are comfortable around children.
“Always a pleasure letting Peanut stay with Brianna. Brianna is very accommodating with our schedule. Peanut is tired but super happy after a day. He likes Brianna a lot.”
About: My love for my own pets inspired me to continue working with animals during college! With a major in psychology and a goal of working with therapy animals in the future, I love learning and growing as much as I can. I have professional experience in animal shelters, and a therapy animal program! I'm hoping to spend more time gaining experience working with animals. Not only is it enjoyable to hangout with furry friends, but it will be beneficial to my future career working in animal assisted therapy! I recognize that every animal is different with their own little personality. Hearing from owners about their recommendations, and getting to know the animal has never failed!
“Jordin was wonderful with my pup for a week of doggie day care. Leia has hip dysplasia and Jordin was very mindful of keeping her day active without being too much for her. She was very communicative and seemed to bond with my pup very quickly, and my dog was excited to get to her place every day. She arranged a meet up before the scheduled days to make sure she matched with my pup and was wonderful in asking lots of questions to make sure she could care for Leia and meet all her needs. 10 out of 10 recommend 😊”
About: While I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for animals! I’ve looked after pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years — including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. As well as my own pets, such as cats, dogs, turtles & guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks or just wants someone to hang out with, I’m here to give them the love and attention they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and communicative — with plenty of updates and photos to keep you in the loop! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved — just like they would with you. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention they deserve — whether that’s sticking to feeding times, giving medications, a sleepover or just spending time to keep them happy and comfortable. I always make it a priority to follow each pet’s routine closely, so they feel safe and at ease when their owners are away. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable — just like part of the family. I provide a clean, calm environment where they can relax, play, and stick to their normal routine. And when I care for pets in your home I treat it with respect, making sure everything stays clean and as I found it. Whether it’s giving medication, tidying up food/water bowls, or spending quality time with your pet, I handle each visit with care and attention. I know how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My first dog was an Alaskan husky and I have walked him, fed him, and bathed him. Throughout the years I have taken in 2 more dogs and have given them the same care as my first dog. I also have extensive experience taking care of other pet animals such as quails and rabbits and watching my aunts dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I can fit dog walking, sitting, and/or caring into my schedule at anytime! I am super flexible in regards to time and place. For dog grooming, I am available after 5pm Monday through Friday, anytime on weekends :) I feed my dogs 3 times a day, and give them treats as a reward for positive reinforcement. I also bathe them once a week & take them walking right after they are done eating. I have taken care of my aunts dogs by staying in her home or caring for them in my home. I have services such as dog beds, leashes, different kinds of dog food and treats, and a few clothes!
“Noemi is incredible! She made Blue and I feel right at home. Her children are also incredibly sweet and loving. Blue had a fantastic time and took advantage of her large fenced in yard. I can tell he had a great time as he took a hearty nap as soon as we got home :) Thank you for all you do Noemi! Looking forward to return.”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.

About: Experienced caring for friends' pets, making sure they feel safe, well-fed, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. All furbabies are loved infinitely here. I currently work from home, so I have a pretty flexible routine, 5 days a week. I am available weekly and also weekends mostly anytime I follow each pet's routine, provide food and fresh water, ensure exercise and playtime, give plenty of attention, and keep owners updated regularly with texts and pictures!
About: If your pet needs to stick to a schedule, I will be sure to manage medicine, potty breaks, etc., to a T! I have had cats since I was a kid and currently live with an extra-small dog! I'm very vigilant and detail-oriented, considering my XS doggy can get sick easily. I'm between jobs at the moment! This means my time is very flexible! I can fit in morning, afternoon, evening, and night walks and sittings! Unfortunately, my landlord only allows my small dog on the premises. But I'm more than able to pet-sit in-house at the owner's home. I'm very clean and can clean out a litter box or wash/put away toys while sitting. I also keep my hands to myself when at a home. I love petting cats and dogs, so I will definitely show your lovely animal some affection.
“Carole has been an incredible addition to our support team with Orfeu. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and has already helped us provide our highly anxious pup with more structure and security. We are beyond impressed with her professionalism and care. We would recommend her very highly to anyone!”
“Absolutely wonderful with midnight! Needed a last minute walked and she stepped up and took such great care of her, she was very detailed and put me at ease while I was away!”
“We would happily book Lorelei to walk our dog again. She was easy to book and quick to respond throughout the whole process. She sent a few pictures and a nice recap of the walk and even grabbed a package that was left outside for us.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chinchillas, and more since I was 8 years old (including my childhood dog that’s 16 and still kicking!!) I’ve wrapped up my full time job and waiting for grad school to begin in August. Plenty of availability during the weekdays and nights - just ask! I have doors on all the rooms so that pets can roam safely inside my home. Floors are easily cleanable and there is an outdoor space and many parks nearby.
About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.
“Gabriela was amazing with my dog and my dog really enjoyed her company!! We are grateful she was able and willing to help us last minute. Will definitely book again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, sticking to a specific routine, or just providing tons of cuddles and playtime. I’m also active, so energetic pups will get plenty of exercise and outdoor time! I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company while I work, I love having pets around—it makes my day better! My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to their routine and be fully present for walks, feeding, and any special needs they might have. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy it. At my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play! I have a yard for fresh air and outdoor time, and I’m lucky to live near two parks—perfect for walks, exercise, and a little adventure. I keep a clean, calm environment and tailor the care to each pet’s needs, whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or providing lots of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re with me.
About: I have been the primary person responsible for my family's dogs, cat, and fish since high school. This includes walks, grooming, vet visits, nutrition, basic puppy training, etc. I have experience with both large and small dogs, including seniors and puppies. I know how to change aquarium water and do maintenance as well. As a graduate student, my classes vary day to day, so pet care will also depend on specific hourly availability. I am located near science hill. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to offer in-house pet sitting at this moment as I am living in a shared house with a no pet policy.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter who has cared after both cats and dogs over the last 8 years. Through either personal favors for loved ones in my life or paid opportunities, I give all animals the time, energy and attention they thrive off of (which sometimes can be a less-is-more situation)! I will strive to make it a stress-free experience for both you and your little one! I do request that we have a Meet & Greet before finalizing bookings to ensure your I can get all relevant information and learn about the pet I'll be looking after. If I seem like a good fit we can get a booking finalized, I will be consistent with messages and updates for you, as well as enrichment and care for the furry friend! For the time being, my schedule is largely open after September 9th. Let me know what your ideal pet sitting situation looks like and I can likely accommodate. I am happy to follow the rules and routines you have set for your pets. I don't have any of my own and would prefer to keep animals at their place of residence for their comfort. If I know an animal and they are comfortable with me, I would reconsider for future sittings after an initial experience.
About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I give every dog as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pup’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience, structure, potty training support, and consistent reinforcement of basic commands, as well as senior dogs who may require slower walks, medication reminders, extra comfort, or mobility support. I’m reliable, communicative, and provide regular updates with photos so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs extra attention, I focus on creating a calm, trustworthy environment tailored to them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make their care a priority in my schedule. I plan my days to allow plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to accommodate different routines and energy levels. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, maintaining a puppy’s training schedule, or providing a calm, comfortable environment for a senior pet, I make sure each animal receives consistent care, companionship, and attention throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and bedtime habits to help reduce stress and keep them happy. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, exercise, affection, and space to relax. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also separate pets when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s familiar environment and maintain their usual schedule to help them feel at ease while you’re away. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly respond to any changes or needs. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have been housesitting, dog and cat sitting for about 15 years now as a side gig. I have several references and usually rely on word of mouth referrals. I am free most weekends and holidays, with some flexibility during the week for drop in visits. I live in the New Haven area but am willing to travel for gigs. I am happy to house-sit but am unable to bring pets into my home. I am good with animals of all types and have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages.
“Paul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!”

“Mari was exceptional. Absolutely exceptional. Not only did she communicate all the time but she sent so many pictures and videos. I did not expect Lloyd to get on so many long walks with Mari, but he did! Lloyd was cared for so well. Thank you, Mari!”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“Liza took amazing care of our special girl. She was very responsive and demonstrated both confidence and kindness with our reactive pitbull. She’s amazing and we will absolutely be working with her in the future!”
“Mikayla and Justin were incredible! They took such great care of my GSP Goose and sent very detailed and organized updates on how he was doing and made sure to get him an ample amount of exercise everyday. He looked so happy! Also they were extremely understanding and flexible when I had to pick him up a little late due to my return flight getting delayed. Will definitely be using them again!”
“This is only the second time I have boarded my dog, and since I’m usually home all day with her, I wanted to make sure I left her with someone who would be home all the time and able to monitor her the way I do. Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Brianna was great! She was responsive and easy to schedule with. She watched my dog for 3 nights and sent an update with a photo daily! I have already rebooked Guinness for his next stay with her. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second stay that our two pups had with Bruce, and it won't be the last. We found our "go-to" dog sitter. They received excellent, loving care. All of my instructions regarding feeding, supplements, meds, etc. were followed to a T. Detailed updates and photos were sent at least twice daily. It is obvious that Bruce loves being in the company of dogs. If you need to travel for business or pleasure and want total peace of mind, book Bruce. You will not be disappointed. Prior to booking with him for the first time, I read through hundreds of his five-star reviews. Very well-deserved! We are grateful that we found him.”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“Just wanted to say, we had an amazing experience with Anthony! Blaze was exhausted… we received pictures and videos everyday! And he was very accessible… when ever we needed him… or had a question! We will be using him again very soon. Definitely recommend his services. The Fox’s #5stars”
“Michal was wonderful in all ways. Sweet, kind, loving and generous with Henry. Thank you so much Michal we are already booked for another stay with you soon! I would recommend Michal without reservation for dog sitting, Thank you!”
“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Teresa and Karina! They kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for while we were away. When we picked Jax up, it was obvious he had an amazing time. He kept going back to them for hugs and affection, which spoke volumes about how comfortable and loved he felt in their care. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitters!”
“She was so communicative, she send pictures ! She follows the schedule which I love , she teach them tricks. Her cats are amazing with dogs. Thank you for looking after Milo.”
“Dunkin had a wonderful stay with Melissa. He looked so happy in every pic and video that Melissa sent to us. She kept him busy with hikes, dog parks and walks. I totally recommend Melissa. It was a great experience. ?”
