“Nina is always great. I believe this is our third time. She always takes good care of our elderly cat and ensures his medication schedule is adhered to. She always sends fun updates as well.”
“Ashley was so amazing and caring with our puppy! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby. She made sure we were at ease by keeping us posted with comments and pictures.”
“Anas and Tate were amazing! We just moved for Gainesville and were in need of caring and reliable sitters for our dogs. They have a great setup with a lovely fenced yard that our dogs enjoyed playing in. It was clear that our pups came home well taken care of. Anas and Tate provided excellent care and communication, always sending photos and updates, and even giving our dogs a bath so they came home nice and clean. We are so thankful for them!”
“Autumn was absolutely fantastic. Hands down the only other person I’d trust to board my dog in their home. I was so scared of leaving my baby in the care of someone else with other dogs, but Autumn made me feel as though I could trust her. She is organized, and reassured me throughout the day. She absolutely adored my dog and treated her as her own! I trust her 100%. 10000/10 recommended Autumn.”
“Alexander and Josephine were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and they made the experience so easy and reassuring. They sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. They were also incredibly communicative and accommodating when we had a change in plans, and they handled everything professionally and thoughtfully, which made us feel completely comfortable. When our return flight was delayed, they were very flexible with pickup as well. Josie clearly had so much fun with them and was very well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful sitters.”
“I’m so thankful for Vanessa! She was able to take in Marshall very last minute and watch him for the whole weekend. She was great at sending pictures and updates of him throughout the weekend too. He loved it and came home a happy dog!”
“I was terrified to leave my 17 week old puppy for 2 weeks while I went on vacation, but he had so much fun and was so good at Kim’s! He played with dogs and got love the entire time. Wouldn’t want to book with anyone else!”
“From the moment I met her, I had full confidence in Brenda because she told me that she wants to be a veterinarian!!! When I reunited with Kaussie, it was evident that Kaussie had already fallen in love with Brenda and her family due to the exceptional care he received. Also, Scooby played so well with Kaussie that I was overjoyed to see Kaussie make a new friend. Most of all, Brenda's backyard is incredibly spacious and securely fenced, so Kaussie might have been reluctant to come back to his home, lol. Choosing Brenda might have been a coincidence, but I truly believe it was the luckiest decision I made!”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Reva did a wonderful job keeping us informed on how owe dog was doing while in her care. She’s very good with our senior dog and did a great job makingo her comfortable and happy.”
“Adam was a fantastic sitter! He sent lots of photos and updates and took great care of Charlie. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Adam and will be using him again in the future :)”
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Kaylee was fantastic with Freya! Leaving your dog with someone new is always a little nerve wracking, but she put my mind at ease immediately. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates with photos throughout the stay. It was clear from the photos that Freya was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“I am so grateful to Paula and family for taking such good care of my baby. I had a last minute trip and she was so accommodating .She was sitting and enjoying petting when I walked in. I highly recommend Paula.”
“At first I thought they were a little pricey but after visiting Ana's place you'll see your money is well spent. Their yard is amazing with plenty of room for the dogs to play. I think my dog thought she was at the K-9 Bellagio. We will be returning.”

“Kim was great! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear she cared about spending time with our cat. She gave us peace of mind while traveling. We are so thankful she was able to help us out! Thank you Kim!”
“Richard did drop in visits for our cat for an entire week and did a fantastic job. He sent plenty of great pictures, which is hard to do as she is a black kitty who usually tries to dodge photos. His reports were thorough and when we came home our cat was in a great mood. Definitely recommend Richard!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for years. I came from an animal-loving family, we got our first dog when I was 7, and now at home I have two cats and one dog of my own, so I understand how much routine and a calm, familiar presence matter to pets while their owner is away. I also consistently take care of my brother and sister-in-law's eight cats whenever they're on vacation, so multi-cat households and individual routines are second nature to me. Beyond my own household, I also volunteer with cat rescues. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every cat's home and routine with the same care I give my own.
“Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.”
About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoovfy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕
About: Someone in my family always had a cat, and I always wanted to be friends because I could never have one. I learned the hard way very young that cat trust is hard earned. Once I was old enough, cats in need of homes fell into my lap and they have taught me more patience than I ever expected, especially when handling introducing new cats to established homes. From fighting flying fur bunnies, to combating the endless litter boxes, cats after surgeries and on meds, I’ve had a lot of experience helping cats feel their most comfortable.
“Stephanie was fantastic! She took great care of our kitties, and administered medication with no problem. She kept us up to date with fun pics and reports. We will be definitely ask her to watch our cats again!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing. She was communicative, really cared about what was best for the cats, and did everything she could to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. It's so great that we found a sitter here in Gainesville that we can trust to take care of our kitties properly while we're away.”
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
About: My family had dogs for the majority of my life, and I was often the one tasked of taking care of them. I bathed, fed, took them to the vet, and walked them. They were all elderly dogs, so they have sadly passed away. Their names were Peanut, Waddlesworth, and Snickers. I’m currently a proud cat owner (or her servant, if you ask her) of Luna. I found her under my car when she was a kitten 3 years ago and she’s been with me since. Currently working a summer temp job at the University of Florida, but that will end at the start of September. My schedule is flexible outside of classes, which are for just over an hour a day Monday thru Thursday. I can cater my caretaking skills to your needs. Whether your dog needs walks every hour or twice a day, I can do it all.
About: currently a stay at home pet parent looking to use my love and care of animals on the side for side income. I have open availability and knowledge to share I have experience with exotics, dogs and cats and even horses! I have full open availability and have recently been learning to train my first puppy who’s 9mo. Clean and calm. When I care for you pets I will keep the environment calm and comforting with ear scratches and low noise to ensure their stress is low while they wait for you to return
About: I’ve cared for my friends’ cats while they were out of town and happily refilled food and water, cleaned litter boxes, and provided comfort and company. I now care for an outdoor cat with my roommates.
About: Hi, I’m Avril, a CPR-certified cat specialist and proud mom of two black cats! Safety First: Certified in Animal CPR & First Aid. Expert Care: Skilled in senior meds and kitten playtime. Reliable: Punctual visits with daily photo updates for your peace of mind. I treat every 'house panther' like my own. Let’s chat!"
About: While I love all pets, I have a soft spot for my feline clients. My background as a vet technician means I can offer your cat much more than just a food refill. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who needs intense playtime or a shy "closet cat" who needs a gentle touch and a watchful eye, I’m here to ensure they feel safe and pampered while you’re away.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. While being a kid I’ve had 10 cats throughout the years and now that I’m an adult I have 1 little kitten of my own. I have a special love for taking the time to become friends with the anxious babies and play with the energetic ones. I am able to adjust my interactions based on what the kitty needs.
About: I have experience caring for three cats while their owners were traveling, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time playing with and comforting them as needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, so I’m happy to offer affection, active play, or quiet companionship based on their preferences. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions while providing updates and photos so you can feel confident your cats are in caring hands.

“I initially wanted to hire her to walk Koda twice daily. I’m glad she suggested he go to her place for doggy day care. I can tell he is having a blast. The family is very friendly. They’ve just earned a regular customer.”
“Brenda and her family provide exactly what I was hoping for. Instead of being home all day by herself, my dog is taken care of by kind dog lovers. She also gets to socialize with another small dog. I can tell my dog enjoys being there. She runs right up to Brenda to greet her when we arrive. And when I pick her up, she is not desperate to leave. Highly recommend.”
“My first time leaving Gillean, I was anxious and nervous despite meet and greet. I knew he would do well, but this is my baby. Ana and family Sent me videos and pictures to reassure me that he was loving it. He was so happy in all videos, made my heart happy. He passed out on ride home! Going to use weekly, true hidden gem.”
“Our dogs stayed with Nicole for two days and I could tell from the pictures and videos she sent me that they were happy to be there! One of the dogs had an UTI and Nicole made sure to take her every two hours. She was also very flexible with scheduling. I would highly recommend her!”
About: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).
“I highly recommend Kimberly for all your pet sitting needs! She made me feel at ease leaving my baby for the first time ever. She sent me lots of pictures and videos while my puppy Luna was in her care :)”
“Alexander was AWESOME. At the last minute he was able to dog sit my grand pup Dakota, when my daughter was not able to find care in Tallahassee. Finding trusting individuals to take care of your precious babies can be hard. Alexander sent us pictures and check in several times to keep us posted on her health progress.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and come from a very animal-loving family. We’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I also have 5+ years of fostering experience, helping care for over 20 dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’ve never lived without a pet, and currently I have one dog and an outside cat. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your pets, and I would treat them like family. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I also enjoy going on multiple walks daily, so having a dog to join me would be wonderful. Your pet would receive lots of attention, exercise, and care. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my care. I live in a nice, walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks to the beach boardwalk. I’m experienced with giving medication to pets, since I give medicine to my own dog daily. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe.
About: Experienced in most breeds and love to pamper and adore your pet! I will spend time with them and make sure they enjoy themselves while you are away! I am a current graduate student at the University of Florida, therefore I have a flexible schedule and availability to be with your beloved pet longer than most! I understand that pets are a precious part of the family. They deserve love and attention even when you're away. I will be happy to care for them!
“Brynn and husband took great care of my two dogs! They came home happy and tired after a day of playing in the backyard, lounging in the sun (a Milo favorite pastime) and walks. I do appreciate the loving care for my two dogs!!”
About: Pet Care Experience I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention, I provide reliable, safe, and loving care. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, just like they would at home. What Sets Me Apart I treat every pet as if they were my own, with compassion and consistency. I’m attentive to special needs—whether that’s administering medications, helping senior pets move comfortably, or giving puppies the training and structure they need. My focus is on building trust, creating a stress-free environment, and giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care on a part-time basis, mainly during weekends and weekday evenings. This schedule allows me to dedicate focused, quality time to each pet. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or weekend companionship, I make sure pets feel cared for, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. In my home or yours, I ensure spaces are secure, comfortable, and pet-friendly. I supervise playtime, provide fresh water and proper nutrition, and follow any special instructions for each pet’s needs. My goal is to create a loving, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times.

“Richard was amazing!!! From giving my pups lots of love and attention to sending updates and photos as he was caring for our Brentley! He paid attention to details and followed the notes that were left for my dog! I would definitely recommend booking Richard as your sitter!”
“What a pleasure it was meeting with Jing this morning. She was friendly, professional and Colin my dog immediately liked her! Jing will be a tremendous help over the next few months walking and playing with Colin. Already I trust her and feel comfortable having her come into our home and give Colin the exercise he needs! Thank you, Carolyn”
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, including having had cats, dogs, fish, and as a pet. I am familiar with caring for older animals that have lost the ability to fully care for themselves, caring for puppies or kittens, and pets with disabilities (blind, or sick etc.). So I am qualified to care for a pet at any age and just about any level of health! I work my own hours at my job and I have no scheduled weekly activities so I am free to come by and help at almost any day/time! I care for my cat at home by spending time with her playing and cuddling when I am free, letting her curl up with me in bed, and having her sit with me while I cook or do homework! In a client's home I would be interacting with the pets, feeding them, walking them to give them good exercise (for applicable pets), giving them cuddles and love, and providing a safe, clean space for them!

I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well, and I am certified in delivering pet CPR and first aid. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡
About: Aloha, I'm Anna Lyra 😊 I've connected deeply with animals my whole life, and began caring for them around age 11. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have a great love for all creatures. Cats are my specialty, though my skills are also effective with dogs and all kinds of other animals. I am a Cat Whisperer with extensive knowledge and experience. My cats remain at optimal health due to my physical and energetic care of them. I practice Reiki (energy healing) that is very effective with animals. For now, I'm offering my Reiki treatments for free as I am new to Rover (with purchase of Day Visits, House Sitting, or Dog Walking). I also have experience with animal hospice care, during which the Reiki treatments are especially supportive. Here's a review of my care for a 21+ year old cat who was nearing the end of her life: "You have a gift, and Princess and I are blessed to be on the receiving end of your gift. Yes, you’re a kitty-sitter, and yes you helped with her urinating outside of the box, but what you’re offering is much much much deeper than that. I think you have a calling for this, well, I don’t “think” - I know you have a calling for this, and I am just so grateful that we found you and so grateful to be on the receiving end of your gift.” -Arthur, February 2026 So I've been doing animal care for a long time with shining 5 star reviews, I'm just new to Rover ✨ I'm self-employed with a flexible schedule. I can work with you to sculpt the ideal care that your pet(s) needs. Reach out to discuss possibilities! 🦮🐈🦜🐇🐠🐍🐎🐁🐐🐓🐄🦆🦎🐑🐖🫏 My pets and my client's pets are a top priority and I take it very seriously. My own cats benefit from the highest quality food, attention, and environment. I am highly attuned to their needs & emotions, providing gentle focused care with therapeutic touch & massage. While I specialize in Cat Whispering, my care for all animals goes above and beyond! I treat others as I want to be treated: with honesty, safety, and high quality care wrapped in positive & loving energy 💟
About: I currently own an Australian Shepherd, so i understand the importance of activities and mental stimulation a dog needs to be happy, calm, and healthy. Im currently almost always available, which means ill be able to help out as much as possible when it comes to pet care and house sitting. I am used to crate training which is needed for my dog when we run errands, as well as making a safe and fun environment for animals so they don't get bored and start being naughty and mischievous.

About: Biggest dog lover! Grown up with dogs my entire life, I currently own a senior yellow lab named Copper 🩵 he’s my best friend! Very experienced in lots of different breeds and temperaments. My pup Copper is my soulmate and I know yours is too, I would be so happy to care for them 🫶🏻 I work full time as a neonatal respiratory therapist and have 3-4 days off per week. I am looking for something productive to fill my time and honestly nothing sounds better! I live on 5 acres with a fenced in yard! We also have a pool that’s available for playtime on hot days! My pup Copper is the sweetest, non-dominant and most easygoing dog and would love to have some company here and there!
About: Ive grown up with dogs, cats, horses, and various other types of animals. Additionally, I’ve worked as a kennel technician with dogs for over 2 years now. During this time I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs from big and small, energetic and calm, and confident or more on the nervous side. I’ve learned the best way to approach every type of dog and how to meet their needs. I go to college and work part time but I have breaks making it easy to stop by and assist your babies. I am in Gainesville full time and have a vehicle making it easy to get around town. I have a passion for approaching animals with love and patience. I think first impressions with animals are extremely important. I always want to make the interactions fun and without tension. I’m very understanding when it comes to fear aggression and anxious dogs. My top priority is to make them feel safe around me and respect their boundaries.
About: I’m a student and lifelong animal lover with years of pet store experience. My home is a mini-zoo with a German Shepherd, two cats, and pet rats! I’ve also kept everything from snakes to saltwater aquariums, so I’m comfortable with any species. Im am currently focusing on taking care of your fur babies. I'm flexible. As long as your baby is animal friendly I can possibly board at my home. I don't usually do boarding at my home but possibly. I will do as instructed at your residence. Just need to let me know what they are used too.
About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
“Monica was caring and very responsible while taking care of Max. He’s a little older and requires a little TLC and she was so loving toward him. I will use her again and highly recommend her for any pet”
“Stephanie is our go to sitter because of her excellent care for our pets! She’s great with our dog and our cats and at communicating with us with updates and cute pics. Highly highly recommend!”
About: I have owned dogs since I was little and I have had all ages from puppy stage to senior stage and I love every one of them they will be in good hands with me I promise :-) I am excited to start my journey as I retire from the University of Florida after 23 years :-) I have three pups of my own two chiweenies and one senior terrier. At this time I cannot offer in-home service. I can offer walks drop-ins and pick up items for you on the way to come take care of your babies
About: I’ve work with dogs and other animals for the last 8 years. From puppies to seniors and everything in between. I’ve also helped train a few service dogs and actively show and compete in sports with my own dog. My life is centered around my dog and I work from home. I can be extremely flexible to fit almost any need or rigorous schedule. I have an apartment by myself, with my 1 dog, with nice trails and fenced in areas to let pets play off leash. I also have different enrichment toys and other exercises for physical and mental stimulation.

Anas and Tate provided excellent care and communication, always sending photos and updates, and even giving our dogs a bath so they came home nice and clean. We are so thankful for them!”
“Alexander and Josephine were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and they made the experience so easy and reassuring. They sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which we really appreciated. They were also incredibly communicative and accommodating when we had a change in plans, and they handled everything professionally and thoughtfully, which made us feel completely comfortable. When our return flight was delayed, they were very flexible with pickup as well. Josie clearly had so much fun with them and was very well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. We will absolutely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful sitters.”
“I’m so thankful for Vanessa! She was able to take in Marshall very last minute and watch him for the whole weekend. She was great at sending pictures and updates of him throughout the weekend too. He loved it and came home a happy dog!”
“I was terrified to leave my 17 week old puppy for 2 weeks while I went on vacation, but he had so much fun and was so good at Kim’s! He played with dogs and got love the entire time. Wouldn’t want to book with anyone else!”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Reva did a wonderful job keeping us informed on how owe dog was doing while in her care. She’s very good with our senior dog and did a great job makingo her comfortable and happy.”
“These two are simply awesome. They loved my dog and my dog loved them. They are very diligent, experienced with animals, and very friendly. The accommodations were wonderful highly recommend.”
“Amanda was awesome with my pups! When I reached out for an update on them I got pictures of them running in the yard. They were in high spirits when pickup time came- can’t thank Amanda enough for taking such good care of my babies🩷”
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Great with my high energy pup. She makes sure that every stay is safe and fun for the dogs. Bonus points for giving my dog a slow feeder puzzle with pumpkin puree. Great communicator, responsible and punctual. She really cares for your dogs as if it were her own.”
“Caitlynn is absolutely amazing! She was very responsive, kept me updated on Sage throughout my trip and sent pictures. didn’t have to worry if she was okay. This is my second booking on Rover. The first time was a nightmare, but I’m glad I gave it another shot. I will definitely be open to booking with Caitlynn again for sure.”
“At first I thought they were a little pricey but after visiting Ana's place you'll see your money is well spent. Their yard is amazing with plenty of room for the dogs to play. I think my dog thought she was at the K-9 Bellagio. We will be returning.”
