“I have been trusting my fur babies with Yuwadee since before Rover.Com when this site used to be “DogVacay”. I am very particular with who watches my dogs. Yuwadee has a gift that dogs immediately sense and can gain their trust in a very short time. She has a very safe and secure property and never leaves the dogs in her care alone, even when they are outside. She listens to how you want your animals cared for and does exactly what you ask. I can’t recommend her enough! So fortunate to have found her eight years ago. You’ll be happy with having Yuwadee spoil your fur baby(s) and won’t worry while you’re away. Highly recommend!”
“Peanut had such a cute and perfect stay ever! With the little furry friend and the little girl, Peanut definitely wants to thank you for the cute drawing. We really hope to send our baby again to this perfect family. Thank you for having him ❤️”
“I’m so grateful to Nataly for taking such great care of Zeus! She treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine care for his needs put my mind at ease. I came back to a very happy pup! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Kerri was the best! We really got lucky finding her. She was kind, & welcoming. Took awesome care of taking care of our dog, Max. Always responded to our texts, and sent photos of Max to us. I’m glad there are people out there, who care to take of our pets, instead of a kennel. She took Max in like he was her own. Thank you Kerri. ❤️”
“Gretchen and Marc are the best. They took great care of our dog while we were away. She absolutely loved the space (and the birds) in the back yard. They treated her like she was their own. Thank you!”
“We absolutely love Lauren! She took such great care of Finn over the weekend and kept in touch, which we loved! It’s nice to have someone care about our dog as much as we do! Thanks again Lauren for everything!”
“Yami is wonderful and our dog Bailey loves her. My puppy was sad when she came back cause she missed them soo much! I will definitely use them again and will also recommend to my friends.”
“Bailey took great care of our dog, Nero, and we absolutely loved her service! She was so attentive and kind, sending us videos and pictures every day so we could see how he was. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Thank you lidiia for taking care of my 3 cats for 20 days this summer while I was out of state for work. She sent pictures and was communicative, while also juggling work and kids and a busy schedule. I feel confident my babies were taken care of. I appreciate you!”
“Anna was superb with our two dogs! They have a lot of energy and she was able to keep them happy, entertained, and still remembering their training. She sends timely videos and pictures so you can see your pets are happy. We'd highly recommend Anna for all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Our dachshunds spent a week at a resort! They were pampered and loved, spoiled rotten and loved the heated blanket. I can’t say enough great things about these amazing people and their children who took such great care of our Doxies - I’m not sure they wanted to leave!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tammy as our dog sitter for the first time. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by prioritizing Milo’s safety and well-being. She was extremely attentive and caring, ensuring everything was handled with love and professionalism. We especially appreciated her frequent updates and photos, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. Tammy went above and beyond to make sure Milo felt comfortable and cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter — we will definitely be using her services again!”
“We booked same day sitting with Stosh for our dog,Sheru. And Stosh sent wonderful daily photo updates and food schedule. Sheru was so happy and relaxed when we got home!"We would gladly book with him again. Thank you Stosh for taking such a good care of him, really appreciate it…..😊”

“Shilpi was amazing!! I have never felt as comfortable leaving my fur baby when going away. Shilpi made the process so easy and gave us steps to make sure we remembered everything. While we were gone she sent many updates and pictures and I could tell my dog was safe and happy. They did a phenomenal job making sure she was eating well and enjoying her stay. When we picked her up too, she seemed so well kept and her fur was so soft and clean which hasn't always been the case when we have left her at other places. I will absolutely be leaving my dog with them again and I know I will feel 100% safe and happy doing so! Thank you to them for taking care of my fur baby ♥️”
“Ollie had a wonderful stay and Julie was incredibly accommodating with our trip being extended! Beautiful, clean property! We will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“I can not express enough how happy we were with Jayne! This was our first Rover experience and she put us at ease. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in good hands. After we left, she sent updates with pictures attached showing how happy and content they were. What a relief!! No doubt in my mind they will be happy when we use her again.”
“I couldn't be happier with René! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that our dog wasn't just being boarded; he was truly welcomed into her family. She treated him like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love and attention while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be using her again!”
“Dahlia took amazing care of Oscar. She was loving and kind to him and provided us regular updates with tidbits of daily activities. I could tell Oscar had a great time with her.”

“Morgan was wonderful from start to finish. We booked a drop-in visit first so Coco could meet her before committing to house sitting, and it turned out to be a perfect match. Coco is the shyest dog in the world and is usually very hesitant around new people. Morgan was incredibly patient and allowed Coco to approach her at her own pace without any pressure. By the end of the visit, Coco was comfortable enough to let Morgan pet her and be close to her, which is something she rarely does with strangers. Morgan is kind, gentle, and clearly understands how to work with nervous dogs. We were so happy to find her and feel very confident leaving Coco in her care. We will definitely be booking house sitting with Morgan and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter.”
“Caitlyn did great with Echo. She followed the instructions left for her to care for him perfectly. She also communicated very well and sent updates/photos of my cat while I was away”
“Jacob was wonderful. He managed medications and eye ointment for my 2 cats and dealt with my senior cats issues and frequent feedings! He also kept up with my bird feeders. He kept the house clean and was responsive with updates. On top of all of that, he dealt with a storm/power outage and our 6 hour flight delay in returning home. We appreciate him very much!”
“Kendra did a wonderful job looking after our Mila cat. She fed her, played with her and filled her treat puzzles. Kendra was great about staying with Mila for the full time, even if Mila was not particularly cuddly. She also sent great pictures throughout and her updates covered all the necessary information. We would definitely work with Kendra again”
“Suzy was so sweet with our cat. She played with her and gave her sweet affection. She followed all of our instructions and was on time everyday. We will be using Suzy moving forward. Thank you for all your sweet notes and photos.”
“This is our second time using Erin and she does not disappoint! We are grateful she takes such good care of our cats and we have one less thing to worry about when we are out of town :). Highly recommend her!”

“Yuwadee is absolutely fantastic! My dog Athena absolutely LOVED spending the day with Yuwadee while I was at work and living with my parents. She has a big yard for dogs to run around in and plenty of space to go for walks! My dog Athena would be exhausted at the end of the day from playing and be very excited to go back! I would 100% recommend her, especially if you need someone to care for your fur baby for an 8+ hour day or overnights.”
“Lindsay & Chris have been exceptional sitters for our dog Rylie. The family provides very personal and affectionate care in their home, with a great outdoor space for play. Rylie is looking forward to her next stay!”
“Lauren was great and easy to talk to. She gave us updates throughout the day on our dog. Her set up was great and her dogs were friendly with ours. I highly recommend her anytime you need a sitter for your pup!”
About: As someone who personally has an animal with special needs I understand the kind of care they need! I also have experience working with animals of all ages. Along with working with animals of all ages I have both volunteered and worked at a local Humane Society. Working there entailed feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care to both cats and dogs. As a student who only works a part time job I am back and forth between campus and my house all week. With an older cat I frequently drop by my house throughout the day to check on him. Because of this I would be able to provide the same care to your animals as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood near several large parks. Because of this I will be able to not only walk dogs in my neighborhood but take them to surrounding parks to walk and play! Along with taking dogs out my home is equipped with cat friendly furniture,scratchers and enrichment.
About: Since I was 9 years old I have been fortunate to grow up in a household that has always included dogs. Throughout the years, we have cared for a diverse range of breeds, including Terriers, Boxers, and Mastiffs and I wouldn't have it any other way (except for maybe more dogs). I was raised to care for and love them like I would any family member. I have administered medication to not only my own animals, but to others as well. Not only that, I can perform hygiene tasks such as bathing, brushing, etc. I work remotely and have the flexibility to create my own schedule. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pup while you're away! I have a fenced-in yard with ample amounts of running space. I have three sweet pups: a 13-year-old Westie, a 3-year-old Shepherd, and a yellow Lab who is less than a year old. They are happy to help keep your fur babies busy during playtime or snuggle next to them during nap time. If it's a pleasant day, we'll be outside playing in the yard or lounging in the shade. If not, there is plenty of room to entertain inside. We allow our dogs to relax on the furniture and welcome visitors to it as well; The couch is our favorite place to snuggle! I'm comfortable administering medication if needed. My senior boy is on oral medication; I've also administered medication to others in the past. I would love to love your sweet babe while you're away.
“Her flexibility was so very important on this trip and she went with the flow of our revisions amazingly well. She's terrific and very loving to our dog Betsy who is deaf and 13 years old. Betsy was held and cuddled the entire stay. It's obvious that she's a committed and caring dog lover. What a treasure in these hills! Highly recommend her services to any and everyone considering her to care for your dog! You won't find better!”
“Stephanie was amazing with Teddy while we explored the city! You can tell how much she loves and cares for dogs. We had been traveling with Teddy for over two weeks, and she even gave him a bath so he was clean and fresh when we picked him up. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Arlo did a week long doggy day care with Ms. Nataly. He had so much fun! She always updates us with pictures and activities through out the day! He comes home healthy and tired! She is so sweet. We love using her for Arlo’s needs! She treats him like her own 😊 🤍”
“We left our two little fur babies with Jeffrey and Giselle for the day and we could not be more pleased. They are super nice people and took great care of our girls. It is such a relief to know we have a place to leave them where we don't need to worry while we're away. I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone!”

About: I had three miniature dachshunds until they all eventually passed away from old age. I treated them as if they were children. I am very in tune with an animal’s needs and emotions. Animals that I have never met before, usually take to me right away. When I cared for my father-in-law’s dog for two weeks, he did not want to return home with him….lol. I hate to see any animal suffer or be in danger. I go as far to remove turtles from the road so that they do not get hit and I have tried to save numerous injured birds in the wild. Animals, especially, dogs, provide so much unconditional love. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Thus, I have a lot of availability. I am available Sunday-Saturday 24 hours as long as I am provided at least a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard that I always ensure is securely locked at all times.

“I have been trusting my fur babies with Yuwadee since before Rover.Com when this site used to be “DogVacay”. I am very particular with who watches my dogs. Yuwadee has a gift that dogs immediately sense and can gain their trust in a very short time. She has a very safe and secure property and never leaves the dogs in her care alone, even when they are outside. She listens to how you want your animals cared for and does exactly what you ask. I can’t recommend her enough! So fortunate to have found her eight years ago. You’ll be happy with having Yuwadee spoil your fur baby(s) and won’t worry while you’re away. Highly recommend!”
“I’m so grateful to Nataly for taking such great care of Zeus! She treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine care for his needs put my mind at ease. I came back to a very happy pup! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Kerri was the best! We really got lucky finding her. She was kind, & welcoming. Took awesome care of taking care of our dog, Max. Always responded to our texts, and sent photos of Max to us. I’m glad there are people out there, who care to take of our pets, instead of a kennel. She took Max in like he was her own. Thank you Kerri. ❤️”
“Gretchen and Marc are the best. They took great care of our dog while we were away. She absolutely loved the space (and the birds) in the back yard. They treated her like she was their own. Thank you!”
“We absolutely love Lauren! She took such great care of Finn over the weekend and kept in touch, which we loved! It’s nice to have someone care about our dog as much as we do! Thanks again Lauren for everything!”
“Amy was so nice, welcoming, and accommodating for my pups special needs. She took great care of them while I was away and gave me plenty of updates! 11/10 would recommend!”
“Big thanks to DeAnne for taking care of our fur babies while we were gone for 10 days! She has a great space/fenced in yard for dogs. I got daily updates with great pictures and felt like they were happy and safe while we were away! She is truly a dog lover and will take great care of your babies ?”
“Yami is wonderful and our dog Bailey loves her. My puppy was sad when she came back cause she missed them soo much! I will definitely use them again and will also recommend to my friends.”
“Bailey took great care of our dog, Nero, and we absolutely loved her service! She was so attentive and kind, sending us videos and pictures every day so we could see how he was. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Anna was superb with our two dogs! They have a lot of energy and she was able to keep them happy, entertained, and still remembering their training. She sends timely videos and pictures so you can see your pets are happy. We'd highly recommend Anna for all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Our dachshunds spent a week at a resort! They were pampered and loved, spoiled rotten and loved the heated blanket. I can’t say enough great things about these amazing people and their children who took such great care of our Doxies - I’m not sure they wanted to leave!!!”
“We booked same day sitting with Stosh for our dog,Sheru. And Stosh sent wonderful daily photo updates and food schedule. Sheru was so happy and relaxed when we got home!"We would gladly book with him again. Thank you Stosh for taking such a good care of him, really appreciate it…..😊”
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”
“My dog links could not tell me if he liked his stay with Jess but he was not to eger to leave or get in car which tells me service was good. I will use this service again in the future Ed”
“Ollie had a wonderful stay and Julie was incredibly accommodating with our trip being extended! Beautiful, clean property! We will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“I can not express enough how happy we were with Jayne! This was our first Rover experience and she put us at ease. From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in good hands. After we left, she sent updates with pictures attached showing how happy and content they were. What a relief!! No doubt in my mind they will be happy when we use her again.”
“I couldn't be happier with René! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that our dog wasn't just being boarded; he was truly welcomed into her family. She treated him like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love and attention while we were away. We got regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be using her again!”
“Ryan and his family are lovely people and took excellent care of my dog. They have a young Aussie who was also sweet and my dog came back to me very relaxed and happy (and very tired after all the fun!). Ryan offered to bathe my dog after he got dirty on a hike, which was very thoughtful. He sent frequent photos and kept me in the loop with everything, which put me at ease after having a poor experience with a previous Rover dog sitter. I couldn’t recommend this family enough! Thank you Ryan and family!”
