“First Rover experience and we are so happy we found April and her family. Our girl Xena came home happy after her week long stay. April is so responsive and accommodating. We loved the photos and messages while we were gone. Would definitely book again!”
“Christy was amazing with our dog Kimber. This is the second time we have used Christie’s services and we are very satisfied. She takes such good care of Kimber and Kimber loves to stay with Christy. 😎”
“I have two Frenchies that are glued to me. I work from home so they never leave my side. I was going on vacation and didn’t know where to leave my fur babies since I have had bad experiences with boarding places. My husband and I were googling places where we could leave our fur babies and came across Rover. After a few clicks here and there and reading reviews, I came across Leandro and Sarahí and decided to meet with them. From the first day, they gave me a sense of relief and I felt confident that they would be able to take care of my babies. Let me just say, they did not disappoint us. I gave them specific instructions for my babies and they followed them. Everyday they would send me pics and videos and kept me up to date with my frenchies. My girl did not want to eat for three days and they were finding ways to get her to eat. They even reached out to me to see if they were able to give her an alternative food. I am so pleased with them. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, kind and took great care of my frenchies. I will definitely use them again without hesitation. Thank you Leandro and Sarahi for welcoming my babies into your home! You both did an amazing job.”
“Brianna is awesome with Princess Sabrina! She looked after her over the Christmas period as we were in the UK. She sent me pictures and a lovely video of Sabrina playing with some pups too. I know Sabrina was in great hands!”
“Cristal is amazing; from now on, she'll be our Rover. My fur baby was comfortable, and she did everything she could to make him feel at home. Thank you for gave him so much love!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated my dogs like they were hers. I could genuinely feel the motherly love. lol. I for sure would rebook with Mya if possible. She went above and beyond and I could tell my dogs miss her.”
“My 2 puppies had a great time with Al and his family! They took excellent care of them like they were their own! Al sent me daily pictures and I knew they were having a great time with his kids. They were very flexible when I needed to extend my trip. And when I picked them up, they were given baths before I brought them home! Will definitely book Al and his family again! Thank you for taking great care of Romeo and Juliet!”
“Emily was incredible with my dog Abby! Daily communication along with pictures, she made Abby feel at home and made my vacation wonderful because she was so well cared for!!! Thank you so very much!!”
“You dont even understand how much of a stress reliever Erika is! She takes care of my little baby like her own! 2nd time i hired her and i wouldnt go to anyone else! Ill cancel my plans if shes not available lol! She needs to increase her prices! She is worth triple the price!”
“I can’t recommend them enough! I was running late for drop off, and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible, which immediately put my mind at ease. When I needed to extend my pickup time, they were just as understanding and made the entire process completely stress free. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and go above and beyond to make things easy for pet parents. I already have another reservation booked for my puppy, and they’ll definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward. Amazing people, exceptional service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member!”
“Nancy and Carl were very good with our dog Edgar. They were very responsive when it comes to communication and the process on Rover was straight forward and easily used. They updated us daily on the baby so we didn’t have to worry a thing. Highly recommend!”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Brooke is a wonderful sitter for our Mr Cookie. He is so comfortable and looks happy in the daily photos we receive. We don’t want anyone but Brooke!”
“Liliana was the absolute the BEST Rover! As this was my first time using Rover, I was a bit nervous of the unknown! Liliana, sent pictures and videos daily and really loved on my doggie! Liliana went above and beyond my expectations! My dog had a great time during his stay! I 1000% recommend Liliana and I will definitely use her again!!! Thank you again for being such a kind and gentle soul with me and my doggie!”
“Mindy and her family are amazing! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were wonderful! They are friendly, reliable, and provided excellent communication throughout our trip. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear they truly treat the dogs like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. We never had to worry while we were away because we knew our pups were in good hands. We highly recommend their services and will definitely book with them again in the future!”

“I needed a sitter a bit last minute for my kitties while I visited my mom. Mariah was more than happy to check in on my babies and she did an amazing job! They warmed up to her so well and she kept me updated throughout. Thank you Mariah!! I’ll be rebooking for sure :)”

“Rachel was awesome!! She took great care of my kitties and always gave updates and took pictures of both of them, even the one who likes to hang out behind the couch lol.”
“Audrey was amazing in every way! I didn’t worry about my pups not once. She played with them and hung out with them, that means so much to me. We will most definitely be using Audrey again.”

“Jin was great with our two dogs! She carried our elderly dog outside because of our two steps and she gave both of them their enrichment activities mid day to work their brains. She spent time cuddling with them too. ❤️❤️ one of our dogs is sensitive to new people and she is patient and slow with him and he loves her!”
“Christian was great with my kitty Oakley! This is the second time he has sat for Oakley while I was out of town, and he’s great! Very quick and timely with communication!”
“Rachel was very reliable and professional. She connected very well with our cat since day 1. Our cat was calm and stress-free when we got back home. Thank you Rachel! We will definitely hire her again!”
About: I am excited to care for and learn all the interesting behaviors that each cat uniquely has. Regarding experience I have done basic cat care and play but I do not mind having to go the extra mile for your pet. Please send any doubts and questions regarding services my way and I will try to do my best to accommodate and answer.
“We cannot say enough good things about Kayla! She took care of our cats, Taxi and Boba, while we were out of town, and she was absolutely amazing. We were particularly anxious about leaving because one of our cats is currently sick and undergoing chemo treatment. Kayla handled the situation with so much compassion, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. She cared for them exactly as if they were her own, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about animals, look no further than Kayla. We love her and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve lived with a maincoon since i was born and have loved cats my whole life. I have also dealt with many types of cats at the clinic I work at and understand they have very unique personalities so I hope you let me get to know the attitude of your baby!
“It was our first time trying out Rover for care for our senior cat, second cat, and 2 Guinea pigs and we’re very happy we went with Pamela! Pamela was very reliable and a natural with our pets. She was professional and communicative and we had full confidence our pets would do well in her hands. We will be coming back for Pamela for future pet sitting needs for sure and recommend her to anyone else looking for quality care for their pets.”
“Bailey always takes great care of my pup. She is always on-time and stays the full length of her drop-in visit. She leaves great Rover cards so I am able to see what they were up to during her visit. I appreciate how well she communicates and how consistent of a sitter she has been for me. She is very good with big dogs. I highly recommend!”

About: I have been a Certified Veterinary Assistant for 10 years. I also have two Certified Therapy Dogs. We visit schools, hospitals, nursing homes and other events. I also care for dogs in my home when friends go on vacation. I take in only one at a time. I’m retired and work out five days a week. I go to the gym, and do Tai Chi. I also volunteer at least 4-6 days a month with my therapy dogs. I have an enclosed lanai with a pool, in case your pup likes to swim! I have two dogs to keep your baby company. We also have a private dog park in my development that is for residents only so your pup can get exercise and play time every day!
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m Lexus. My mom, Tiffany, and I are a mother-daughter pet-care team. While a love for animals is at the heart of what we do, we believe pet parents deserve more than simply finding someone who loves animals; that’s just the beginning. We are insured, bonded, Pet CPR & First Aid certified, proud members of Pet Sitters International (the world’s leading educational organization for professional pet sitters), mentored by professional dog trainers, and we take a professional approach to the pets entrusted to us. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience in the dog-grooming industry, while my mom brings additional experience in animal care, safety, and behavior. We continue investing in education because understanding the animals we care for helps us provide safer, more thoughtful care. Professional Care With a Family Feel 💛 We take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and comfort level. Your pet is never just another reservation on our calendar. Our rates reflect the professional standards, education, safety, reliability, and individualized attention we bring to every booking. Because not all pet care is the same, and your pet deserves the difference. 🐾 Day Care & Boarding 🏡 We have a one-story home with a fenced backyard, two friendly small dogs, two cats, and a dedicated dog room for pups who prefer a quieter space. We never accept more than two guest dogs at a time, allowing us to provide more individualized attention in a calm environment. House Sitting & Drop-Ins 🐾 We maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home and privacy, and make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Meet & greets are required for all new clients because safety and trust always come first. Please read through remainder of profile for important information. We can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶💕 Availability: Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and individualized care throughout their stay. You can also expect regular communication, photos, and updates. Standard Stay vs. Constant Care Standard stays provide attentive, consistent care but are not 24/7 supervision. I may occasionally step out briefly for a nearby pet-care visit or personal errand, always planned around your pup’s routine and comfort. Dogs who cannot be left alone due to separation anxiety, medical needs, or other circumstances require Constant Care, offered at $250/day. This allows me to reserve my schedule exclusively for your pet and provide continuous supervision. Please disclose this need before booking so the rate can be adjusted accordingly. Start & End Times Arrival and departure times will fall within a 1 hour window. This helps me coordinate bookings and ensure every pet receives the attention they deserve with enough time for unexpected delays. Confirming Your Booking Per Rover policy, payment is required to confirm your reservation. Dates cannot be held until the booking is completed and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pending requests may be archived 24 hours after the meet & greet if not confirmed, as they can affect availability for other families. Cancellations Cancellations made within 7 days of a confirmed stay or 14 days of a holiday stay are non-refundable. Because pet care is my full-time work and reserved dates often prevent me from accepting other families, I appreciate your understanding. These guidelines allow me to maintain a high standard of care while keeping scheduling fair and organized for everyone. 💛🐾 Safety and Trust: I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, but safety is about more than certifications. As a pet owner and animal lover myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. During our meet & greet, I’ll ask plenty of questions about your pup: their personality, routine, quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable. It also gives you the chance to get to know me and ask anything you’d like. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident that your pup will be cared for with the same patience, attention, and genuine affection I’d want for my own.
“Sarah is AWESOME! My pup had an e collar on and needed to not be so active and I know how hard it is to keep a puppy calm but she managed to! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which I LOVED!!!! She was so nice to my Hercules and I definitely will be booking with her again.”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. We got our first dog when I was 5 years old and have had them ever since. I've volunteered with local shelters and fostered many dogs. We recently lost the last of our 4 fur babies and would love to welcome yours into our home. I only take one dog at a time so I can ensure your pup gets the best care possible. Please note, there will be two young children in the house. We are very strict with manners towards animals and utilize dog gates to create separate spaces. I am a stay at home mom so I am never away from home for long. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate for different care needs. Your dog would not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced in back yard for potty breaks and playing. Pets are family in our home so they are welcome anywhere. We love walks around the neighborhood for all the sights and smells. Please note, there will be two young children in the house. We are very strict with manners towards animals and utilize dog gates to create separate spaces.
About: Hi there! Hi, I’m Haifa! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I live in a cozy apartment with my 14-lb chihuahua, who’s super friendly and loves having small doggy guests around. With 7 years of experience caring for animals, I specialize in pets under 20 lbs to ensure a comfortable, stress-free environment for everyone. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a flexible work-from-home schedule, which allows me to shower your pup with unlimited attention! My flexible schedule means I can accommodate your pet's needs, including their feeding/potty schedule. I usually take my dog out for multiple walks and potty breaks, and can easily incorporate your pet's needs into our schedule. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable space where small dogs can relax and feel at home. I will stick to each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or quiet naps. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give them the attention, potty breaks, and companionship they need.
“Fahriye was amazing with our pup! It was so nice to have a safe place to take her for the day while we hosted a large gathering at our home. Even better was having Fay and her husband bring our dog back home for us! Will definitely use them in the future!”

“Lee-Ann is a very caring person. She really cares about my baby. She asks me about his well-being. I really love and appreciate the videos and pictures she takes of him. It's been a blessing to our lives!! Thank you!”
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life! I am currently a cat mom to a long-haired tuxie with a big personality. I have helped my family raise two high-energy Australian shepherds, given insulin shots to my diabetic cats, and walked big dogs who like to pull hard. I have cared for my own kittens and puppies from baby to senior adults. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and love spending my time with furry friends. I just graduated with my PhD and am currently job hunting, so I have lots of availability to care for your sweet pets! I am happy to stop by throughout the day, go for walks, and sit with your animals so they're not alone. My goal is to be very thorough with your pets routine. When possible, I would like to set up a meet and greet and learn where all food/treats/toys/medicine/litter/crate, etc is kept. I also will be sure to collect vet information, in case of emergency. I will make sure fences are shut or animals are properly leashed before going outside. I also want to make sure pets stay in their designated areas and follow your instructions for them. I am also used to cleaning up after pets, so that's not a problem either!
“Clara has been such a bright light in our Taco’s life! Everyday, he waits for her by the door because he wants to see his Clara! It’s soo cute. We even just say her name and he tilts his head like “you’re saying one of my favorite words”. Clara is dependable, caring, and so amazing to our boy. She treats him like one of her own. She also brings her Lukas sometimes to give Taco company because we cannot have another dog right now. She stimulates Taco’s brain and gets him moving and running around like crazy during their walk which helps me sooooo much as a work from home dog mother who has back to back meetings all day. When he comes home, he’s relaxed and sleeps until my lunch break when we can go out again! It’s been such a help for our family because Taco knows his schedule! I found the best person ever with Clara and I would recommend her to ANYONE who needs a kind, loving friend for their puppy. Thank you so much, Claraaaa! We love you!”
“The care of my dogs is so important to me. Jin made my dogs so comfortable in her presence. She sent detailed pictures and reports of their day! I am very grateful that she was with my dogs for the weekend!!!”
About: Part time stay at home mom with a lot of love to give! Able to care for your dogs as if they were my own. Walks are only done during the early morning and evening hours, to avoid the heat of the day. I feed according to the instructions provided by the owners to keep up the dogs routines. I can provide lots of pets, cuddles, walks, engagement with toys, and can do misc things like comb their fur out. I have a fenced yard and my cats are indoor. We do let them go outside supervised on occasion. I own a crate just in case I ever needed one but I don't personally crate my pets. Wouldn't mind doing it if that is what's being asked of me. I would honestly just do whatever is being requested by the owners as to not break any routines or habits the dog(s) may have.
About: Hey, my name's Jess and I'm pumped to be on Rover! Here's a quick bit about me. I've been an animal lover forever. I've had dogs my entire life, so I have some substantial experience there and I've had cats nearly just as long. I have experience walking dogs and dog sitting in peoples' homes and my clients, so far, have always become repeat clients (which I love because I love the chance to see the furbabies again and again). I currently have a cat named Gordito, and he is my life. He’s 17 now and requires a lot of extra care, so I’m used to anything your pet may need. Also, I have a calm aura that pets seem to really appreciate. I have no doubt that your pet and I would get along fantastic. I'm not a dog or a cat person, I'm a dog AND cat person. Seriously, they're both such amazing animals in their own ways. I'm just an animal person in general. My schedule is extremely flexible as I work from home. I'm open to any breeds and have experience with young, old, low-energy, and high-energy dogs. I have the energy to keep up with whatever level your pet is at! They'll always get plenty of love, playtime, and exercise while I'm around. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
About: My daughter and I love animals. My house is great for pets because there is a lot of outdoor space and indoor space for them to have a wonderful time. A typical day is a walk for about an hour and going to dog parks with the dog. The pets will be able to play fetch and other games. My service is good because the dog will stay energized and have a great time.( also goes for cats). My daughter and I have been working with animals for about 3 years and she is currently taking veterinary classes so she is more experienced and better for any emergencies that could happen. We treat all animals with love and respect. Just like humans animals have feelings too.
About: Dog Care Experience I have been caring for dogs professionally for over five years, but my experience goes back even further—I started dog walking at 11, turning my passion for animals into a responsibility I take seriously. Through pet sitting and dog walking, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize their individual needs, whether that means providing high-energy playtime, gentle walks for senior dogs, or extra patience with shy or reactive pups. My experience includes: • Daily Walks & Exercise: Ensuring dogs get the right amount of physical activity to keep them happy and healthy. • Feeding & Medication Administration: Following specific dietary needs and schedules, including giving oral medications when required. • Behavior & Training Reinforcement: Using positive reinforcement to encourage good manners and maintain consistency in training. • Comfort & Companionship: Providing plenty of affection and engagement to keep dogs relaxed and content while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Since I’ve been around animals for most of my life, I’ve developed a schedule that ensures they receive the attention and care they need. • Daily: I set aside time for feeding, walks, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. Whether it’s a morning dog walk, checking in on a pet sitting client, or spending time socializing rescue cats, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. • Weekly: I balance multiple pet care responsibilities, including scheduled pet sitting visits, dog walks, and volunteer work with Catapolooza. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate both short-term and long-term care needs, ensuring that pets remain comfortable and stress-free in their environments. No matter the schedule, I prioritize reliability, consistency, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Safety, Trust & Environment Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priorities are their safety, comfort, and well-being. • Building Trust: I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, preferences, and routine to ensure a stress-free experience. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, and use positive reinforcement to build trust. • Safe Environment: In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, keeping pets on their regular schedule and ensuring their space remains secure and hazard-free. I check doors, gates, and leashes for safety, and I’m mindful of potential household dangers like toxic plants or small objects. • Comfort & Well-being: I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship to keep pets happy and engaged. Whether it’s a relaxing cuddle session with a cat, a stimulating walk for a dog, or following special feeding instructions, I prioritize their needs. • Emergency Preparedness: I stay alert for any signs of illness or distress and am prepared to follow emergency protocols if needed. I ensure I have vet contact information and know the nearest emergency clinic for each pet I care for. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing them with the love, patience, and care they deserve.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a senior dog, so I’m comfortable providing the extra patience, attention, and care that older pets need. I’ve also cared for kittens multiple times and understand how much supervision and gentle care they require. I’ve experienced caring for a dog with cancer as well, so I’m comfortable being attentive to pets with illnesses or special needs. I treat every pet like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have classes 12-3pm tuesdays and thursdays at UCF! I am in a sorority so I do have events or similar obligations. I am available monday, wed, saturday and sunday DAYS! I prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping pets on their normal routine. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention and supervision. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific routines. I always make sure doors and gates are secure and that pets are never left in an unsafe situation. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while their owner is away.
About: I’ve had animals and taken care of animals since I was 5. We had a zoo: cats, dogs, birds, turtles and guinea pigs. I am experienced in taking care of all sorts of animals. My husband and I currently have 4 cuddly cats (Charlotte, Hannibal, Clemson, and Olive) - Clemson is missing one eye and Olive is completely blind! and a bearded dragon named Ginger! I have experience in administering medications orally and topically to cats, dogs, beardies and guinea pigs. Family, friends, and strangers have trusted me to house sit for weekends and summers. I also volunteered at SPCA for adoptable cats for 6 months. This includes feeding, cleaning and cuddling the cats! I am self employed so my schedule is very flexible. I will be able to spend quality time with your pets to ensure they are receiving the perfect care. I provide both short term and long term visits. While pet sitting, it’s important to take care of the pets basic needs (food, water, walks, potty breaks), but it’s also important to go the extra mile, figuratively and literally. My excellent services will provide you and your pets with great communication, promptness, long walks, and plenty of cuddles!
“Shirel communicated clearly with me. It was a rainy evening, but she was flexible and came 30 minutes later so we could give the rain a chance to stop… Which it did. Shayna enjoyed her time with Shirel. I plan on getting her again and would highly recommend her”
“Kevin is so sweet, calm and accommodating. I have a very energetic standard poodle that tends to get over excited on walk but with Kevin she's so chill and is able to get her wiggles out with out acting crazy. We will definitely keep using Kevin whenever he's available!”

About: I’ve had at least one pet my whole life and have helped my family care for theirs for years. I love both deeply and have a solid understanding of their needs and wants. I can handle most sizes and breeds as I’ve cared for various kinds of dogs and cats. I currently work part-time and have primarily online classes through UCF, so I’ll have plenty of time for little furry friends on my days off, before/after class, or before work! I’m always alert to body language and communication from the pet, so they’ll always be attended to. I’m also big on making sure I don’t leave the pet needing exercise or love! I get so much joy from being near pets and will give them as much love and attention as they want!
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own 6 year old yorkie, Dolce. She’s only 4 pounds! I'm attentive, gentle, and love providing personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just giving lots of love and attention. I’m dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently a full time graduate student. Additionally, I have a part time job at school so week days vary and are dependent on my class schedule. Currently, I’m pretty flexible to take care of your pets in the morning and afternoons throughout the week and on weekends. Simply reach out for further info. I provide attentive, personalized care for pets in their own homes by maintaining their routine, offering companionship, ensuring safety, cleaning up after them, and following any special care instructions from the owner. Regular updates and communication ensure the pet and owner feel confident and comfortable while I'm caring for their pet.
About: I have grown up taking care of my Rottweiler/Doberman since she was 10 weeks old and is now 13 years old. Big dogs are not a problem as I am not scared of them since I have grown up with one. I know how much dogs love walking and running and I love to do it with them. I have a love for all dogs big and small and enjoy even the hardest dogs to handle. With being young I can be very active with the dogs and playing with them to ensure full enjoyment. I hope to walk your dog very soon! I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible when it comes to caring for your pet! Just ask and I will see how I can help! I lived in a gated community and have extra space for a dog inside. I do not have a yard for them to roam in.

“Muy agradecida con el cariño con el que Marie cuido a Ashley cada día, recibí videos y fotos de nuestra perrita disfrutando junto a Napo, gracias Marie por tu tiempo y dedicación??”
“First Rover experience and we are so happy we found April and her family. Our girl Xena came home happy after her week long stay. April is so responsive and accommodating. We loved the photos and messages while we were gone. Would definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated my dogs like they were hers. I could genuinely feel the motherly love. lol. I for sure would rebook with Mya if possible. She went above and beyond and I could tell my dogs miss her.”
“You dont even understand how much of a stress reliever Erika is! She takes care of my little baby like her own! 2nd time i hired her and i wouldnt go to anyone else! Ill cancel my plans if shes not available lol! She needs to increase her prices! She is worth triple the price!”
“I can’t recommend them enough! I was running late for drop off, and they were incredibly accommodating and flexible, which immediately put my mind at ease. When I needed to extend my pickup time, they were just as understanding and made the entire process completely stress free. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and go above and beyond to make things easy for pet parents. I already have another reservation booked for my puppy, and they’ll definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward. Amazing people, exceptional service, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member!”
“Josmar took great care of our dog, Buddy, and overall everything went very well. We truly appreciate the care she provided and would gladly give her five stars. One suggestion for the future would be to proactively send photos and brief updates starting from the first day, even if the owner does not specifically ask. Leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful, and regular communication provides a lot of reassurance. Having to repeatedly ask for photos or updates can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so taking the initiative would make the experience even better and help her continue receiving excellent reviews. Other than that, we were very happy with Buddy’s care and appreciate everything Josmar did for him.”
“Liliana was the absolute the BEST Rover! As this was my first time using Rover, I was a bit nervous of the unknown! Liliana, sent pictures and videos daily and really loved on my doggie! Liliana went above and beyond my expectations! My dog had a great time during his stay! I 1000% recommend Liliana and I will definitely use her again!!! Thank you again for being such a kind and gentle soul with me and my doggie!”
“Mindy and her family are amazing! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were wonderful! They are friendly, reliable, and provided excellent communication throughout our trip. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear they truly treat the dogs like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. We never had to worry while we were away because we knew our pups were in good hands. We highly recommend their services and will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Lee-Ann is wonderful. Max loves her, and I travel with the peace in knowing she’s taking great care f my boy! She sends lots of pictures, everyday, and her “Good morning, mommy” photos make my heart smile!”
“Fahriye and Danny took amazing care of my golden doodle. They were promoted with communication and sent daily pictures. Even bathed Tank before I picked him up and made Tank a custom doggie bag holder for his leash with his name and picture. I highly recommend them and will be using them again.”
“This is the second time we've booked with Ashleigh and we are so glad we did! Ashleigh is very attentive and not only gives daily updates with pictures but also makes sure to communicate when there might be a health issue to keep an eye on! She also remembered our preferences from the previous stay as well as what our dog likes 😊 definitely recommend booking a stay here for your fur baby!”
“Ariana took wonderful care of Koa and sent many pictures. We didn't have to worry one bit. We were able to enjoy our weekend getaway. Thank you Ariana. I would recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is the natural bond I form with animals, the love I give, and the attentive care I provide. I treat every dog and cat I look after as if they were my own. Honestly, taking care of pets doesn't feel like a task to me — it's just part of my day! I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime, and I love checking in throughout the day just to say hi and make sure everyone's happy. I treat every pet like they're already family. Whether we're at my place or theirs, I keep their routine just the way they're used to — fresh food, fresh water, a clean space, and lots of cuddles or calm time, depending on their mood. If I'm in your home, I'm respectful of your space and always leave things just as I found them.
“John was extremely accommodating and made Brady feel right at home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Brady was in such great care. John kept me updated, treated Brady like family, and made the entire experience stress-free. I would absolutely trust him to watch Brady again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“vanessa was absolutely amazing! she was flexible, communicative & so nice! she sent me pictures & videos throughout my whole trip. my dog loved her & i will definitely leave him with her again.”
“Love leaving my pet with Brooke. She and her family are wonderful and treat my dog as one of their own. Brooke’s home environment offers peace of mind for her clients so they can enjoy vacationing without their “fur babies!””
“Absolutely amazing experience. Elizabeth is so professional, communicative, and genuine. She will be my go-to from now on. What I appreciated most were her daily updates which included a summary of how the day went as well as pictures and videos. These constant updates and the initiative to remain as communicative as possible is what I loved most. My dog was treated like family, and I've never felt more assured that he was in good hands. Thank you so much for everything! 5 stars (I would give 6 if I could)!!!”
