“John and Gemma were amazing!! They made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup with them. They sent updates throughout his stay and were very accommodating for his needs. I would definitely book with them again!!!”
“Keri and Bob took very good care of our babies. She kept us up-to-date on their daily activities, feedings, and Nala’s medications. We got to see how our babies were doing through pictures and Keri even sent a couple videos. They were treated as if they were part of their family. Would definitely recommend them and we will use them again.”
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Bibianas! She even gets excited when we mention her name. Bibiana always provides picture and video updates daily to let us know how things are going. Thank you again for taking such great care of our dog!”

“Brian and his family were absolutely amazing with my dog Kobe! Kobe has some anxiety being away from us and Brian made him feel right at home! We were sent lots of pictures and updates as well. Kobe went on walks and got lots of outside time. I would HIGHLY recommend Brian as he really treats your pets like they are his own. Will definitely be using Brian again!”
“Katherine is wonderful! She is very responsive and kept me updated throughout the boarding. This is my 2nd experience with Katherine. My first experience was so great that I went directly to her when I was looking to board my dog for our trip. I had absolutely no worries and she will be my go to for now on if she’s available! I’d give 10 stars if I could!”
“Skye was absolutely amazing with Pixie. We hired her to watch Pixie during our wedding day and she went above and beyond. She offered more help to me during this crazy time than some of my closest friends and Pixie loved her. She was so attentive to Pixie and overall a great person!”
“Incredibly professional and easy to work with - they sent several photos of Whisky everyday and walked him twice everyday! We very sadly were negatively impacted by Hurricane Helene, and they kept him one additional day free of charge while we navigated losing our home. Thank you for everything Nicole and Matt!”
“We were very nervous leaving our 10 year old dog with anyone. His first time in someone home without us being around. The sitter went above our expectations. Diesel felt right at home. We received photos and messages throughout his stay.”

“We had such a great experience with Camila! She was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning. She even invited us over beforehand so we could see how our cat would do in her home and meet her sweet dog, which really put us at ease. While we were out of town, she cared for our cat for several days and sent us regular updates and photos. She truly went above and beyond to make our cat feel comfortable, loved, and part of her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”

“Kathryn is always amazing with my pup! She gives me such a sense of peace knowing my dog is safe, happy, and well cared for whenever I’m away. I never have to worry because I know she’s in loving, capable hands. Kathryn is reliable, caring, and provides excellent care every time. I truly appreciate everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caretaker for your dog.”

“I cannot express how pleased I am with Natalie and her family. She welcomed my two fur babies into their home and treated them as their own. My little girls were so well taken care of and treated as part of the family. She also is great at communication and sent me lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Natalie and her family to watch your fur babies.”
“Once again I could not be happier with the care and attention Amy provided for my pup. He loves spending time with her and I feel confident that he’s well taken care of. Thanks Amy!! YOU ROCK!!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we are so lucky to have found Natalie. She is so nice, super friendly, and took great care of our 2 kitties. Natalie has great communication and is very reliable. Would absolutely rebook Natalie and highly recommend her!”
“Tamara did a fantastic job. She kept in constant contact during visits. Asked questions about my kitties peculiarities to make sure nothing was wrong and sent great pics.”
“Being our first Rover experience, we were a little apprehensive to leave our cats in the care of people we didn't know well. Tiffany and Kirk, however, made us feel so comfortable throughout our trip. The pictures we recieved were taken like true pet parents (we even got some spooky filters for halloween), and the notes kept us in the loop on our cat's moods and activities. They tidied up tracked litter, cleaned food bowls, and kept our boys good company. They even brought in mail, and took care of a beeping smoke alarm for us. Overall very pleased and will definitely keep them in mind the next time we travel.”
About: Ive worked with animals my entire life from large to small dogs to horses! I can accommodate senior dogs however I work particularly well with those pets who need plenty of stimulation and play time, I’ll work with ANY dog breed. I have one year of experience working in a professional pet daycare so I have no problem cleaning up after them no matter vomit or excrement I got you. And if you need to take your dog to the vet but they’re a little too heavy to get into the car by yourself, feel free to reach out and I’ll help you load them at a discount. Ready any time, whenever or whatever I’m your guy, I assure you I have the time and ability for it. Name a time and I be there 30 minutes ahead of schedule During my time working at a Pet daycare, I was in charge of over 30 dogs including overnight care. This included feeding, watering, cleaning kennels, taking them out to go potty(and picking up after), playing, monitoring for illness, and accommodating for any disabilities such as lack of limb or dry skin. You name it and I guarantee I can accommodate
“Christina is great with dogs and very patient with my little one who is nervous with someone coming over while I am not at home. Christina's dog, Jax, has a great personality and helps out with trying to get my dog to come out of her shell.”
“Rachel was on time for each visit & did a great job! My kitties tend to scatter litter after using the litter box & she did a great job cleaning up after them. She also was good at communicating with me via text about whether the kitties would come out of their hiding places (they tend to be shy around new people for the first couple of days). I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable & friendly pet sitter.”
“First time using a pet sitter from Rover app, so wasn't sure what to expect. Nichole was the perfect person to represent this company. Communicated very well, even tho we never actually got to meet her (it was a last-minute kind of booking), provided daily updates on our cat, who took some time to actually come out to "visit" her, and provided several pics each day showing our cat and how she left the food and water dishes and litter box. She also brought in our mail and a couple of packages that happened to be delivered while we were gone, as we requested. (Wasn't sure that was a regular part of her routine when we asked about it, but she said no problem!) We do have cameras installed in the house, and once or twice got to see her interact with our cat, and she was really sweet with him, which solidified our feelings of trust in our new pet sitter. I would unhesitatingly recommend Nichole R as a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a very young child and have two of my own today. Whether it was family or neighbors I’ve always been the go-to for pet sitting of any kind, and I hope I get the chance to show your pup or kitty the love they deserve too. I attend university online, so my schedule is very flexible and I have the ability to make as many trips as necessary a day to care for your pet, and of course I’m happy to let them sleep on my lap while I work on papers. Gaining a pets trust is important to me so I never push them beyond their comfort zone, and wait for them to choose to warm up to me.
About: Over the years, I have provided dedicated care for a wide variety of cats, ranging from playful kittens to gentle seniors and encompassing many different breeds. Through caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family, I have developed a deep understanding of unique feline personalities, I am equally comfortable and patient with spirited, independent "sassy" cats as I am with affectionate, social ones. I consider myself experienced, attentive, and professional caregiver. Because I respect that every cat has their own boundaries and routine, I focus on letting them approach me at their own pace while ensuring their environment remains calm, secure, and stress-free.
“Isabela did a great job looking in on our dog and cat while we were out of town. She is very sweet and a great communicator. She sent lots of photos which was a bonus! We will definitely be contracting her again! Thanks so much!”

I’m always on time, communicate clearly, and send plenty of updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently been working with animals for a while now and have been a pet caregiver on other platforms. My family also has a farm so I’ve grown up taking care of all kinds of animals! I am able to take animals on runs, instructed senior animal care, I enjoy high energy animals, I’m good with animals that tend to pull on the leash, I’m very happy to take care of young puppies/kittens, and I even will bird watch with your cats! I have even been tasked to take many cats on walks as well!
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”

“Our Tula doesn’t take to just anyone right away- but Bob and Keri had her feeling like a family member in short order! They are loving, detailed and excellent with communication to owners. We have already rebooked! She cuddled, walked, played and cuddled some more. These are loving, care-filled sitters!”

She reports his daily activities (eating, potty, playtime). She sends photos and videos and texts us updates through out the day. It's great to see how he is doing through the day! When we pick him up he falls asleep in the car on the way home, we know he has had a good day!! We are Very happy with Lina!”
About: I have been talking caring for pets since I was young and since she was born and have 7 years of hands-on experience with my own dog. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and we always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with us. I’m currently working working from 7am-5pm and my daughter had school but we will be more free over the summer!And we are completely free over the weekends and ready for your pups! I have a fenced one-acre yard that’s perfect for dogs to safely play and explore. I also have a friendly, medium-sized dog of my own who is spayed and very gentle around other pets. I always supervise playtime, provide plenty of attention, and make sure every pet feels at home in a safe and caring environment.
“Gabriela has been watching my boy while I’m at work for several weeks. She’s amazing with him. I can see his excitement when we arrive at her house. She sends lots of pictures and updates so I always know he is happy and safe.”
“Jennifer was very nice and was welcomjng. Pete obviously enjoyed himslef. Jennifer was great at sending us pictures and at giving full details of Pete's stay. Will reuse again and again. We recommend her highly!”
“Skye has taken such loving care of our fur baby Frank for about two years. We are now moving out of state and will miss her and her family dearly. Skye is the absolute best as a person and she truly loves caring for pets like they are her own.”
“Winston enjoyed another couple of doggie daycare days at Nicole & Bryans's this week and even got to spend some time with their delightful boys and take a nap on Nicole's lap. It is so reassuring to know that Winston is treated like one of the family and not bored and lonely when we are at work! ”

“Katherine and her family were so amazing with our dog, Oscar! Oscar is super shy and anxious, but they made him so comfortable and were very patient with him! We’ll definitely be booking again :)”
About: Samuel & Rakellie have relocated and added another dog to their family after a couple years off from pet sitting. We’ve returned to pet sitting as our girls love to have visitors and other dogs to play with. We still have a fenced yard full of space to run around in. There are shady spots and branches to play fetch with as well as a screened patio perfect for laying in the sun. We also have a dog friendly pool but will only allow them in if we receive approval first. We also have a house great for indoor playing on rainy or not great weather days. Our dog, Biscayne, has a prescription speciality diet so we are comfortable doing specialized food combinations and pills. She also loves all dogs and people. There hasn't been one time where she hasn't gotten along with anyone. Roma, our cat is almost like a dog as well. Juneau, our newest addition, loves to play with everyone no matter their size. Our animals are truly one of the family. We allow them in our bed and on the furniture. Talking, playing, and lots of love and attention are always guaranteed. Currently working from home with my wife also off on Fridays. We feed our three twice a day and they have a doorbell to let us know when they want to go outside or come inside. Biscayne and Juneau love to go in and out to play and relax in the sun. We spend the evenings outside in a garden and some additional play time. We have a fenced yard in a U-shape with more than half kept in the shade under large oak trees making it the perfect spot to run even on hot days. Large screened patio for laying in the sun and allowed on all furniture indoors.
About: We have the perfect fenced in yard. The family pets we have stayed with are always happy running around the yard. Even difficult family dogs leave happy and in sync with the order in the house. My husband and I are active retirees who are home most of the time. We take daily walks around a safe neighborhood. We have a super smart and chilled 5 year old chihuahua/terrier mix dog named Yoshi who loves sunbathing in our patio or going for walks in the neighborhood. We have a screened in patio with a doggie door so our dog goes in and out into a safe fenced-in grass yard. We have taken care of dogs that are crate trained as well as dogs who are not. Our doggie is allowed on the patio and indoor furniture but sleeps in his own bed at night.
“I have only left my fur baby with 3 people in the last 5 years and Abigail is the 4th...I trust Abigail with Madyson... Madyson had love and attention not only from Abigail and Abigails daughter, but also from Abigails fur babies... I loved not only the updates about how Madyson was doing but also the pictures that Abigail sent to me... This was the first day, of I hope many days, that Madyson will stay with Abigail and play with her new friends... Thank you Abigail for giving me the peace of mind knowing that Madyson is loved and cared for when I am away and she is with you!”
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I love all types of pets but especially dogs. I also crate train dogs as well. I will treat your furry pet just like my own. I am able to watch your furry friend anytime of the week. They will have lots of outdoor time to play and potty in our fenced back yard. I have a fenced back yard for your pets safety. For added safety, you can provide a crate if you prefer to keep them away from other pets in the house. Every pet is well taken care of and we follow all of the pet owners requests.

“Sam has been an absolute blessing to us and our little one. Our puppy gets so excited when she comes. She treats him like her own and is very knowledgeable on his breed, behavior, and everything in between. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Thank you Christina for coming to walk the girls on such a hot day. Long days in the house while we are at work has made them very antsy. They seemed very happy and less rambunctious by the time we got home.”
About: I worked in animal rescue for 4 years and then have been on a different pet care app since 2018 where I have a 4.99 rating on 200+ services. I love your pet as much as my own. For walks, I usually let them lead the way and, since it’s their walk, they can spend the time however they’d like — sniffing or walking! I always follow your instruction and my main goal is keeping your pet safe! I work full time from an office in Round Rock but can run home for potty breaks. My husband works from home several days a week so he will be home all day. We’re home on the weekends, as well! Having a stranger walk into your house can be overwhelming and a little scary for pets. I greet them with a big smile and a happy voice so they can see I’m their friend. Additionally, if a pet is nervous, I turn to the side for a non threatening stance and offer my hand to sniff. I will crouch down on my knees if needed. Once we’re pals, I try to spend as much time with them outside as I can so they can get some play time and fresh air!
“Leroy and Reina are absolutely amazing! They were so gentle and loving with my fur baby, they even bathed her while we were away. My Noel absolutely loves them, she made new best friends! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone - I will be booking them over and over again!”
“Nicole is the best! I never worry about my dog when she is taking care of him. She is thoughtful and loving; any time I need someone to walk or watch him, she’s my go-to! Thank you, Nicole!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and am very passionate about pet care. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and reactive or behaviorally challenging dogs, and I understand the patience and consistency they need. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, so I’m familiar with routines and quickly building trust with new pets. I’ve owned breeds like Boxers and Pit Bulls, as well as cats, and currently care for two ferrets and a hamster. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me. I’m available everyday from 7 am- 10 pm, i’m also very flexible and understanding so for whatever reason if you needed me before or after those times i can work something out!! I have two dogs myself but at separate houses one does have behavioral issues so that’s something i know how to work with and the other goes in a crate which i’m more than okay to do with others. My dogs like to pull and bark so that’s something i’m used too if that were to occur with your fur baby
About: I love all animals and am known as the "animal whisperer" in my family! I've cared for pets of all sizes and ages, from 1 to 18 years old. I'm comfortable following special care instructions, including dietary needs and medication schedules. I enjoy building relationships with owners, and I'm always happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel connected while you're away. I am currently a college student home for the summer (May-August), which means I am available any day of the week to take care of your pet! I care for pets by following their routine, giving them lots of love, attention, and exercise, and keeping their environment clean. My goal is to ensure they always feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m a college student and reliable dog walker who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, fun walk and lots of attention along the way. I’m always on time, communicate clearly, and send plenty of updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently been working with animals for a while now and have been a pet caregiver on other platforms. My family also has a farm so I’ve grown up taking care of all kinds of animals! I am able to take animals on runs, instructed senior dog care, I enjoy high energy dogs, I’m good with animals that tend to pull on the leash, I’m very happy to take care of young puppies/kittens, and I even will bird watch with your cats! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I’m currently home for the summer and don’t have any major commitments right now, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available any day of the week. I’m also a college student and athlete, so I’m used to being responsible, active, and dependable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company, and I’m looking to earn some extra money doing something I enjoy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel safe while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean by picking up after pets, cleaning bowls or litter boxes if needed, and making sure everything stays tidy. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or need a calmer approach, and I always make communication with owners a priority by providing updates and photos.
About: I was a proud dog mom for 15 years, caring for my pup from playful puppyhood through his senior years, which taught me patience, love, and attentiveness. I’ve enjoyed caring for others’ pets since I was a kid and have always had a natural connection with animals. Friends and family know they can rely on me to treat every pet like my own- with gentle care and respect for their routines. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and passionate about making pets feel safe and happy while giving their owners true peace of mind. I work flexible hours which gives me the opportunity to take care of your pets when you need me! I am available daily, including weekends for drop-ins or walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can relax whether we’re out getting exercise or I’m giving extra belly scratches in your home. I also keep open communication with pet parents sending regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel confident that your furry friend is happy and in good hands.
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, featuring fish, cats, and a few different breeds of dogs. I love being active so if you need your dog walked I gotchu. If your pet just needs a bit of loving, I got more than enough love to give to your precious babies. In my life I’ve owned fish, a cat, and currently the cutest white German Shepard. I am more than willing to adapt to whatever special needs your pet has, even as far as spoon feeding them. (Hasn’t happened yet but who knows!) I’ve done pet sitting for multiple neighbors and relatives: fish, frogs, cats (both kittens and a senior), and even a few different breeds of dogs (primarily a golden Labrador). I am happy to be at your service and to get to know your precious beans. I am an artist and need some work on the side of that to get by. Since I have such flexibility, I should be able to show up any time as long as I’m not asleep! I cannot accept pets into my own home as I currently own a dog and don’t want mine or your pet(s) to get stressed by strange animals; however, as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am willing to make as many visits as is necessary. I can also take your pet on walks, clean up if there happens to be a mess (ie: hairball), change litter, clean up dog poop, and more! As of now I don’t offer overnight stays.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and patience I’ve developed from caring for my own 13-year-old golden retriever who has thyroid disease and gets anxious during storms. Because of this, I’m very comfortable supporting senior dogs, administering medications, and recognizing when a dog needs extra reassurance or a calmer approach. I also have a lot of hands-on dog-walking and pet-sitting experience. I regularly care for neighbors’ dogs—feeding them, letting them out, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also experienced with dogs who enjoy swimming and spending time in the pool. I always supervise closely, make sure they’re safe getting in and out, and help them enjoy the water in a controlled, fun, and comfortable way. Whether it’s a slow stroll for an older pup, pool time for a water-loving dog, or extra snuggles for an anxious one, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Above all, I treat every dog like my own: with patience, consistency, and genuine love. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m a college student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have a very open and flexible schedule the rest of the week. I’m fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care. Even on my class days, I still have plenty of time before and after to check in on pets. Because of this open schedule, I’m able to give pets reliable attention, regular walks, and care that fits their normal routine. When caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps each pet comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, crates, and gates are secure, double-check food and medication instructions, and keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. I’m attentive during walks, use secure leashes, and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unknown dogs. At my own home, pets have a clean and comfortable space to relax, plenty of supervised playtime, and a quiet environment—especially helpful for older or more anxious dogs. I’m extra patient with senior pets or pups with special needs, and I keep their feeding, bathroom breaks, and medication schedules consistent. Above all, I treat every pet with the same care, respect, and attentiveness I give to my own dog, making sure they feel safe, understood, and loved.
About: All my life I have enjoyed spending time with animals, learning their personalities, and helping with their care. I have volunteered at the Pet Resource Center in both the cat and dog play areas and cared for my own pets. I have taken care of cats for the last 8 years, having 4 and up to 5 cats in my care at any given time. I have also helped my friends and neighbors with their dogs including boarding at my house and daily visits while my friends were on vacation. I look forward to helping you with your furry friends and making them feel loved and special! I currently work from home and can be available in the mornings before 8am. I am also available after work 4:30pm and during lunch time I would keep your pet’s schedule as close as possible to their owners daily routine. Also, I would treat your home with respect and care if I am watching pets in your home and will leave the way I found it.
About: Hi, my name is Mia! I've lived in Lithia on and off my whole life and I've pet sit for a handful of families in the area. My mom previously owned her own pet sitting business in Fishhawk, which I sometimes helped her with. We recently lost our family dog this past October. She had diabetes and was reactive, so I am comfortable around pets that may have behavioral issues, or who need shots and oral medications. I love all kinds of animals and would love to talk more about looking after your furry friends. I recently left my government job so I currently have full availability. I can take dogs on walks, to the dog park, or anywhere else suitable for animals. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to pets. I want to keep your pet safe, as well as others who may encounter your pet when I'm watching them. As a result, I'd like to know about any aggression or reactive behavior so I know how to handle situations if your pet encounters other people or animals on a walk or otherwise. Additionally, I do not like using retractable leashes on dogs. If you'd like me to care for your dog, please ensure you can provide something other than a retractable leash.
About: Bachelors in education with a focus on dog training. Have over 10 years experience with pets and dogs. Great understanding for dog behavior. I am available full time to take care of your dog! I have experience administering medication, training, and boarding over night. I am comfortable with any size dog and have plenty of space in my home. If they board with me, they will have their own room! I enjoy going to dog parks, and have experience improving your pets socializing skills. Safety is my number one concern, and I will take care of them as my own. Also available to take your dogs to any appointments such as medical or grooming. I'm sure you'll like me, but I know your dog will love me!
About: I’ve been around animals all throughout my life. I even take care of my own at my home who take medications and have special behavioral needs. I love playing with pets and making sure they get the enrichment that they need! I also work in healthcare. Use Code MCKENL10410 for $20 your first booking with me! I work 3 12 hour shifts at the hospital but I’m looking to fill the other 4 days of my week with drop in visits and dog walks! I have my own transportation for this job. I can play with your pet to get energy out and take them on walks if necessary!

“Brian and his family were absolutely amazing with my dog Kobe! Kobe has some anxiety being away from us and Brian made him feel right at home! We were sent lots of pictures and updates as well. Kobe went on walks and got lots of outside time. I would HIGHLY recommend Brian as he really treats your pets like they are his own. Will definitely be using Brian again!”
“Katherine is wonderful! She is very responsive and kept me updated throughout the boarding. This is my 2nd experience with Katherine. My first experience was so great that I went directly to her when I was looking to board my dog for our trip. I had absolutely no worries and she will be my go to for now on if she’s available! I’d give 10 stars if I could!”
“Skye was absolutely amazing with Pixie. We hired her to watch Pixie during our wedding day and she went above and beyond. She offered more help to me during this crazy time than some of my closest friends and Pixie loved her. She was so attentive to Pixie and overall a great person!”
“Incredibly professional and easy to work with - they sent several photos of Whisky everyday and walked him twice everyday! We very sadly were negatively impacted by Hurricane Helene, and they kept him one additional day free of charge while we navigated losing our home. Thank you for everything Nicole and Matt!”

“We had such a great experience with Camila! She was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning. She even invited us over beforehand so we could see how our cat would do in her home and meet her sweet dog, which really put us at ease. While we were out of town, she cared for our cat for several days and sent us regular updates and photos. She truly went above and beyond to make our cat feel comfortable, loved, and part of her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Bentley had a great time at Canine Cottage he made some new friends and had tons of fun playing with them. Garrett and his family are super friendly. I didn't leave worried. I would have no problem leaving Bentley with them again. Thanks so much :)”
“Kathryn is always amazing with my pup! She gives me such a sense of peace knowing my dog is safe, happy, and well cared for whenever I’m away. I never have to worry because I know she’s in loving, capable hands. Kathryn is reliable, caring, and provides excellent care every time. I truly appreciate everything she does and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caretaker for your dog.”
“I had an accident and was forced to board my 3 dogs this week. Rebecca took GREAT care of them! I was able to bring one home (I needed a pup!!!) and booked a 2nd week with her for the other two. :)”
“Diana was such a huge help for me! After booking a last minute trip and not being able to find a reliable boarding place I came on Rover and messaged a few people. Diana was the only one who got back to me super quick. We chatted briefly and did a meet and greet. This was actually the day before I was supposed to fly out. After meeting with her I felt so comfortable. She put my mind at ease. I was a little worried about my younger dog because he is a menace but Diana kept him super busy the entire time. Doing walks, letting them run around, hang out with her kids, went for runs, etc. She even worked on a few commands with him! She sent the best updates telling me about their days and was just all around an incredible sitter for me. I would definitely recommend and hope to use Diana again in the future!”
“Andressa and Alex were fantastic hosts for our dog Maple, we got lots of pics and videos. The whole process was seamless, would highly recommend. We will certainly be looking to have them watch maple again in the future. ❤️”
“It was our first time leaving Zuri since being in Florida and Amy's care for our fur baby gave us comfort. We got daily updates and pics which was great and she's very careful about interactions with other pets which is great. Zuri loved having the space to roam, play fetch and find balls🥰. Thanks Amy for your great care. We'll be using you again.”
“We love Elena & Meiru! This is the 2nd time we’ve booked a stay and they are so great with my corgi. He loves their big backyard and gets lots of love when he’s there. We will definitely be back whenever we go out of town!”
“Highly recommend! From setting up a meet and greet before we left to sending pictures and updates while we were gone. It was such a relief while we were out of state to know our babies were being loved and taken care of.”
“What a great time my Ava had staying with Katie. I think she had more fun on her vacation than I did! Katie kept me updated with photos and videos. And her comments on Ava’s personality let me know she was interacting and taking good care of my girl. I feel free to travel a bit more often knowing Ava has a great place to stay as well. Highly recommend Katie she loves dogs and it shows.”
