I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“Lorraine was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but we got really lucky to have Lorraine. We have a lab with lots of energy and she came home exhausted! Walks, playtime and swimming. She sent pictures and videos everyday which made it so much easier to be away from our baby. We will definitely use Lorraine again and again.”
“Maxine is very personable and professional. We had the honor of leaving our beloved Oreo in her care for 2 weeks not only did she keep us updated with photos and videos, but, she also responded to each and every text message we sent, even sending us unsolicited texts on Oreo's care & appetite pattern. She was very warm and attentive to his needs and our concerns. We highly recommend her, if you are seeking someone that is going to love and care for you fur baby just as you do. We will definitely be using her again in May and thereafter‼️ Thank you so much Maxime my Husband, Me & Oreo greatly appreciate you & your service.”

“Ona is a very personable and reliable cat sitter. Rosie was glad to see Ona and Ona kept in great communication with me, as well as responding quickly to my emails. A great experience and I’d book with Ona again.”
“Nikki always goes above what we expect. One of the cats was on the top of the cabinets and knocked off a bowl. It shattered and Nikki texted me to find out where a broom was. I told her and she not only cleaned up the mess from the bowl, but she swept part of the living room and dining room as well. She is a great cat sitter and we are very very happy that we found her.”
“Katie was excellent in providing care for my kitten and cat. She played with the cats, fed them perfectly as my kitten is high maintenance.

“Teri is not only reliable, she go the extra mile to ensure your pet is safe, happy, content, rightly cared for. I promptly received a photo every morning, an update on his demeanor, an apology when a hairball was discovered on a white carpet, plus a sincere attempt in it's removal. My lil' boy was even gifted a new toy! How thoughtful and generous. I strongly recommend Teri for all you kitty owners, she's a godsend.”
“Joanna was very flexible and patient with the schedule. I could tell she cared about my cats. I appreciate her being able to take care of my cats last minute. I will be definitely using her again.”
About: I understand that cats need patience, respect, and care on their own terms. Over the years, I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including senior cats requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I know the golden rule of cat care: let them come to you on their own time. Whether your cat is shy, independent, or a cuddler, I respect their boundaries and work at their pace. I'm comfortable with medication administration, litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and providing the quiet companionship cats appreciate. Your feline friend will get reliable, stress-free care while you're away.
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“We have used Haylee a few times for our cat when we were out of town and highly recommend! She was very responsive, gave timely updates/pics and followed any special requests we made. We will use Haylee again for future needs :)”
“Patrisha was BEYOND fantastic!! She met every need for our cats while we were gone and felt no stress being gone knowing that they were in great hands 🥰 She sent several pictures of her visits and we loved seeing the boys being well taken care of as if we were home ourselves!! Definitely will be repeat visitors 🤗”
About: I've loved animals my whole life! Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, fish, and even a gerbil. Later, I had two wonderful dogs of my own, so I understand just how much our pets become part of the family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have the time to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve—not just quick check-ins. Whether we're going for walks, playing, sticking to their routine, or simply keeping each other company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, worked as a bather at a grooming solon & worked at 2 different dog boarding kennels. I've also pet sat before for neighbors & friends. I'm also very comfterable around dogs & cats. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of love, care & cuddles that they deserve! I have 1 dog that NEVER interacts with pets that stay in my home. When the guest pet is to be let out/ played with my dog is crested behind a closed door & vise versa. The safety of all pets is my top priority!
“Absolutely amazing! Alli is the ONLY rover we will book with, we’ve been having her hang out with our fur baby for years. Our girl absolutely adores her & she is so good with her & an extremely kind human. Perfect for overnight visits & drop-ins alike. If you want your fur babe to be loved like you love them - book with Alli!”
“Tifany was punctual, friendly and thorough. I truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail while caring for my four cats. I received regular updates and great pics.”

“my usual doggy sitter ended up being out of town today, in a panic I needed someone and I couldn't have picked a better person. Lorraine responded right away to my last minute booking (only 12 hours notice) she provided multiple videos throughout the stay today which made me feel even more comfortable dropping my fur baby off. I 100% recommend and will be happy to use her in the future when needed.”
“Manny and Jessica took great care of our babies while we were gone on a day trip. They kept us updated and sent us some pictures as well. We will definitely use their services again in the future! Thank you Manny and Jessica!”

“This was our first time using Rover and I am so incredibly happy I had Krista as our sitter. Loki loved her and really had a great time. He’s exhausted too which is always a plus for me at the end of the day! I will definitely use Krista again and I know Loki will be thrilled to see her too.”
“María took excellent care of Fernanda! She did an amazing job and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Fernanda was happy and well cared for. Thank you so much for everything—I highly recommend María and would definitely trust her again!”
About: Precious Paws loves to take care of dogs of every kind. My friends rely on me to take care of their pets, walk and feed them. I currently work part time. I have time to take care of your fur babies. I'm available to work on weekdays after 2pm. On weekends anytime. I'm able to take your dogs for walk and I live close by to a dog park. Most of all your fur baby will have lots of fun
“Adrienne was very warm and welcoming, and great with Mulligan. Mulligan had a great time during the meet and greet and during his stay with her and her husband! We would definitely book with her again.”
About: What truly sets me apart is the heart and hands-on experience I bring to every pet I care for. As someone who has raised and loved three dogs of my own, I understand firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — and I don’t take that lightly. My experience ranges from caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior dogs with special needs. I’ve handled everything from potty training and socialization to administering medications and creating calm routines for older pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, and I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I don’t see this as just a job — I truly love animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication, or just offering companionship, I’m happy to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own dogs. Pets in my home enjoy plenty of safe space to run and explore in my fenced half-acre yard. I give them lots of attention, exercise, and make sure to follow their individual routines to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
“We truly could not have asked for a better experience! The care and attention our little Dolly received was absolutely incredible, and it was clear from the start that she was in the best hands. The updates and the amazing photos meant the world to us. We loved seeing how happy, relaxed, and well loved our Dolly was. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was being treated like family. We are beyond grateful and would recommend Lauren to anyone.”
“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
“Alexus was able to accommodate Sammy on short notice for a day stay. This was the first time I needed to leave him in awhile so it was the first time I met Alexus. I immediately liked her demeanor which is very calming. Her home is lovely and clean and she allows pets in home which is good especially in warmer humid weather. She took Sammy on several walks. I was very rushed that day, late dropping Sammy off and picking him up. I would like to spend more time with Alexus next time I book!”

About: I have always had animals in my life my entire life. My first job was at a dog kennel as a kennel attendant. My family has even fostered animals and helped them find their forever homes. I currently work for the Humane Society. I am currently a part time college student, but I will have plenty of time with your fur babies. Willing to make yours and my schedule work. At the moment I am not accepting animals at my home, but I am willing to go to client's homes to care for their fur babies. Anywhere from letting them outside to play and go for walks to making sure they have food, water, and a clean bed to relax in.
“Gage and Ann were amazing and helped me out last minute. They were very prompt, great communicators, and clearly showed a lot of love to my pup, I could see it on my camera, which gave me total peace of mind. Overall, a great experience and I would absolutely book with them again!”
About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

“Susan has repeatedly cared for our dog Mossy in our home and brought her into her home for longer visits. She tends to Mossy's mastif needs with great care, including daily walks, her specific meal needs, giving oral medications, putting in her ear drops, and playtime with all of her many toys. She manages to keep Mossy calm when she gets anxiety from separation or storms. I would highly recommend her to any dog lover!”
About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly love all breeds and personalities. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I offer walks tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn energy. I’m also experienced with administering both oral and topical medications. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens, turtles/tortoises, and hamsters—so you can feel confident all your pets are in good hands. I am at stay at home mama with time to spare. My son is in school for 6.5 hours so I’m all yours. Even after school I’m available just with a sidekick. I keep dogs on a short leash.

“Nicole Thank you so much for your care of Mars. You went above and be on . Thank you for taking him on long walks and to the dog park. Im sure Mars enjoyed his time with you. We will definitely be getting ahold of you in the near future”
About: Since I was a child, I have always had pets in my house; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, etc. I have experience in basic training, working with senior dogs, medicating dogs, puppies (both caring for and potty training), and body language in dogs. I know much about mannerisms and behavior in dogs as well as how to combat the bad ones. I have worked with all types of dogs, as I have worked in the pet food industry before. I have volunteered with multiple dog rescues in Florida including The Animal League and Hound Haven. I am a certified Canine Training & Behavior Specialist as of 2021. I am currently half way through a pet nutrition course as of 2022. I currently have a business from my home. If I have any markets, I would have to leave during the day for about 4-6 hours to handle that and possibly longer hours due to markets themselves. I have recently moved to a 3 acre plot, in which we are currently building a doggy haven with tons of fenced in running area and in the future pools and play equipment. If a VIP (very important pet) doesn't have access to a backyard I like to walk 3+ times daily depending on the dog. I feed my dogs twice a day on the best food I make myself. I have literal baskets of dog toys as well as safe chews for the dogs who like to chew. I'd rather not take dogs to a dog park as of the safety issue. I have two horses and 18 chickens that roam on my 3 acres and can take dogs as long as they are on leash to meet them. I live with a roommate who also helps take care of any pets in the house. I have five pets in the house; my pigeon, Sterling who 'rules the roost'; my two ferrets, Dobby & Dougal who love to play; my large (75lbs) dog, Blake who is excited at first then is calm; and my medium (30lbs) dog Akira who is most playful of the bunch. I watch all interactions with my pets and do have 'safety' crates for my pets if any issues of socialization.
About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).
About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.
“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”
“Ona has been wonderful. I needed to find someone to help my father with his dog because of some health issues and she has been simply GREAT!! Her communication and reliability has been outstanding - especially because I’ve set this up from Colorado. It offers us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone to help walk Jax while my father recovers.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.
“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”

“Was very attentive to my dogs and their needs. Communicated frequently and put my nerves at ease. This was our first experience with Rover and was very thankful Samantha could take us last minute.”
“Krista had my big boy, Jack for a 2 day stint and then a whole week the following week. It was my first time using her. She did an amazing job, communicating with me via texts and photos throughout the week. Jack came home, happy and alert. He was well taken care of, and I would recommend her, and will certainly be reaching out to use her again.”
“We are so grateful for your family! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and for being so kind and supportive through our last minute flight changes. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“Lorraine was amazing! This was our first time using Rover so I was a little nervous but we got really lucky to have Lorraine. We have a lab with lots of energy and she came home exhausted! Walks, playtime and swimming. She sent pictures and videos everyday which made it so much easier to be away from our baby. We will definitely use Lorraine again and again.”
“Cyndi was great in every way. She went above and beyond to take care of my sweet boy! And did so as if he was her own. I absolutely recommend using Cyndi to care for your fur babies next time you need someone to love your pet(s) as if they were her own! I give Cyndi ***** 5 Stars!”
“Lila took such great care of Haze over the weekend while I was away for my daughter’s birthday. She was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Haze was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Taylor and Angel are wonderful!! They were caring and attentive to our pups needs and kept us updated her entire stay with pictures and videos. Thank you so much ladies!!”
“Wonderful, caring pet sitter. Pepe and Lola are rescued dogs and, are, many times, afraid of changes. They seemed right at home. She constantly sent me videos and adorable pictures. They played and were themselves. Thank you for your work!!”
“Amazing - went on cruise for 8 days & from the moment we met the family & left Milo we were worried free. Family photos with Milo gave us a complete piece of mind. Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“He took really good care of our babies and sent us updates and pics to keep us at ease. He was especially good with our tiny little puppy! They definitely played hard and needed a bath when they came home! Lol!:”
“Chrissy was very kind and understanding of our 15 year old dog Bailey . Bailey has never spent time with a babysitter. Chrissy was very reassuring and understanding of Baileys need for love and attention. Chrissy took the time to message and send pictures and video updates . We felt comfortable leaving Bailey with Chrissy. Chrissy sent Bailey home with a treat . We are thankful for her kindness and care, highly recommend her.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, worked as a bather at a grooming solon & worked at 2 different dog boarding kennels. I've also pet sat before for neighbors & friends. I'm also very comfterable around dogs & cats. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of love, care & cuddles that they deserve! I have 1 dog that NEVER interacts with pets that stay in my home. When the guest pet is to be let out/ played with my dog is crested behind a closed door & vise versa. The safety of all pets is my top priority!
“Shayla did a great job watching our dog Cooke. We are so happy to have found a dog sitter that is so caring for my dog and provides daily updates / pictures. I would highly recommend Shayla to anyone that needs a great and caring dog sitter.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Alexus! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy. We probably overwhelmed her with a bunch of information about our dogs, but she handled everything perfectly. We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
