“Danielle was great with our baby Cuzco. She’s really responsive and knowledgeable. This was our first time leaving him with her but we felt very comfortable and she kept us updated the entire time. He had a great time at her house and came back tired from playing with his new dog friends. Will definitely use her services again! Thanks Danielle:)”
“The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.”
“Eloise is a true dog lover! This was our second time booking with her, and both times, it was a great experience. My dog is a young husky mix, with a lot of energy, and Eloise was a great match for her. She has a fenced backyard for the dogs to run off their energy. And she also snuggles and plays with the dogs indoors. All my interactions with Eloise have been friendly and professional, and she is always readily responsive to messages. I also love that she shares lots of pictures of my doggie so we know she’s having a wonderful time. It feels like my pup gets a vacation while we are on one too! Thanks for taking such great care of our pup, Eloise!”
“I’ve used so many Rovers and she is absolutely fantastic. Takes care of my pup as if she were my own, and has a way better back yard for them to run around in. Great about photo and video updates, too. Highly recommend.”
“Bridget was amazing!! Came and picked up pups, sent lots of pictures and updates, and very friendly/responsive. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again ♥️”
“We trust no one else with our boys! They are always so well taken care of and communication could not be better. We’ve booked many times and will continue to do so as long as they’ll have us!”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Lisa is an amazing pet sitter. She sent lots of pics & updates. Our dog Romeo is blind and our fear is him injuring his eyes while we are away. She did an amazing job, he came back happy & healthy. Thank you Lisa! ♡”
“Mariah was great! She goes above and beyond. She was very accommodating and stayed in communication with me during my dog’s boarding time there. Her love for pets really shines through and I’m so happy I’ve met her. 😊”
“Magda and her family were amazing with my puppy. She sent daily updates with pictures, and I felt my gut baby was being treated as a family member. I cannot thank Magda enough! ❤️”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“My beagles came home healthy and happy. I've had them at kennels before and they get stressed. This time, happy to come home, but not stressed. Thank you John, Julie, Alex and baby. It's very comforting to know my puppies were being cared for, and having a grand time.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She was extremely nice throughout the entire process and helped me with any questions I had. She constantly kept me updated with pictures and it looked like my Bella had so much fun. From drop off to pick up she was just incredible and it was a really smooth process.Her communication is on point and she kept me comfortable throughout the process. Being that this was the first time I used this app I was nervous, but not anymore; I will definitely be using her again!”
“I'm so grateful for Iman! My senior dog got sick the day before my trip; she was flexible with the drop-off time so that I could get him to the vet before bringing him over. I'm always anxious about leaving my dog if he's not feeling well, but Iman is so attentive and communicative I had total peace of mind while I was out of town. When I picked up my dog he was in a great mood and his appetite was coming back. Thanks so much Iman!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad it brought us to Barbara and her husband. Excellent communication from the first message I sent through the app, to setting up a meet and greet, to her sending the best pictures of our pup during the stay. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone! Her services are second to none!”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet.

I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I pay close attention to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment. As a healthcare worker, I usually work three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule the rest of the week to focus on pet care.

Whether it’s daily drop-ins or walks, I have the time, energy, and passion to give your pet the attention they deserve. My healthcare background also makes me dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to detail—especially when it comes to routines, medications, or special care needs.

I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine—and I make it my priority to provide care that’s tailored to them.

About: I’ve been a professional dog care provider since 2020, but my experience with dogs goes back my entire life. I’ve cared for countless dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors and turned that lifelong passion into a dedicated career. I am a Certified Dog Trainer, Pet First Aid and CPR Certified, a professional Pet Photographer, and a full time pet care business owner. My background allows me to go beyond basic pet care. I understand dog behavior, body language, and how to create a safe, low stress environment tailored to each dog. What sets me apart is the level of care and intention I bring to every client. I don’t just watch dogs, I advocate for them, provide enrichment, and treat them like my own. My entire life revolves around dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also understand how scary it can feel to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I prioritize clear communication, trust, and consistency. You will always receive updates. Many of my clients have shared how relieved they felt finding someone they truly trust instead of feeling like they are leaving their dog with a stranger. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I’m currently working part time at a rescue and have my own small business so, my schedule is flexible! But, taking care of pets is one of my favorite things to do other than giving them pets and cuddles lol. I provide extra enrichment and fun training on walks and check ins! I take care & love each and every pet like my own. This includes making sure they have great walks, are given lots of patience, extra treatos if permitted, and lots of love of course. With my pet first aid, experience as a dog trainer, and working at a humane society I’m great at keeping dogs happy, healthy, and safe!
“Samantha is the best! So greatful she was our sitter. Samantha followed all the instructions I had to take care of my senior (18 yr) cat. Her and Noel became friends after a few days. I would definitely trust Samantha with my pets. She was even nice enough to leave additional lights on knowing we were going to come home late.”
“Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.”

About: I have loved and owned dogs since i was 10, I'm not a professional trainer but i have trained my own dogs in obedience and nosework. I work remotely and am home all day, providing attentive, consistent care and companionship to ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and never alone while your gone. I have a secure 4-ft chain link fence and supervise your pet during outdoor time. My two dogs and a friendly visitor dog provide great company and play opportunities.
“Eloise was great! She has a nice fenced yard that our outdoor loving pup loved. Eloise is clearly a kind dog lover who appreciated our sweet girl. Eloise was flexible and understanding whem our plans inadvertently changed. I highly Recommend her !!”
“Fez went to Danielle’s house for doggy day care today and had a great time. Her house is lovely and she definitely treats the dogs with high quality attention. She runs a nice business and we plan to return!”
About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.
About: ‼️Please read entirety of bio prior to sending a booking request Please note: My Rover profile information may not always be the most up to date, as I also own and operate my own pet care business - but I still get notifications here! Please message me so we can discuss your specific needs and availability! Hi, I’m Bee! I’m a medically retired police officer turned professional pet care provider. Pet care is my full-time work, not a side hobby. I take a calm, structured, safety-first approach and focus on low-stress care that allows pets to feel secure, respected, and comfortable. I have years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors, rescues, anxious dogs, puppies, large breeds, and special-needs pets. ⸻ What I Offer • In-home dog boarding in a low-volume, structured environment • Structured dog daycare with supervised play and rest breaks • Drop-in visits for feeding, potty breaks, enrichment, and medications • Dog walks tailored to your dog’s comfort, energy level (must not pull heavily on leash) • Care for seniors, rescues, anxious, and special-needs dogs • Slow, intentional introductions and individualized care plans • Solo or one-on-one care options when appropriate for daycare and boarding • Real-time updates with plenty of photos and detailed written notes ‼️I do not provide boarding or daycare for cats, and I do not offer overnight stays in clients’ homes. ‼️Meet and Greets are mandatory to schedule any service. ‼️My two dogs, Trooper and Moose, will NOT be present for the meet and greet for boarding and daycare ‼️Dates are not reserved unless a deposit is prepaid in advance. ‼️Dogs must be crate trained to stay at Bee’s Bed and Barkfast daycare and boarding. This is a non negotiable for safety, feeding, rest and safe transitions. ‼️Boarding can be booked anytime, as long as the dates are within the next 3 months. I do not book out more than 3 months in advance. I am available generally anytime between sunrise and sunset. Due to a vision disability, I may occasionally need to adjust timing on very rainy days, and I do not drive after dark. If weather requires a schedule shift, I’ll always communicate in advance and ensure your pet still receives attentive, high-quality care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I provide intentional, structured care designed to reduce stress, prevent issues before they happen, and create a calm, predictable experience for both pets and owners. This applies whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or in mine. How I care for pets & homes: • Safety-first, prevention-focused handling at all times • Calm routines that prioritize rest, enrichment, and emotional regulation • Respectful care of your home… clean, secure, and exactly how you left it • Doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions double-checked every visit • Clear, proactive communication so you’re never left wondering how things are going Boarding & Daycare Environment: • Low-volume, home-based care, not a brick and mortar storefront or warehouse-style daycare • Structured daycare with supervised interactions and enforced rest breaks • Slow, intentional introductions tailored to each dog’s comfort level • Solo or one-on-one care available for dogs who need space or prefer independence at an increased rate • Crate training mandatory to ensure smooth transitions and safety How I differ from other sitters: • I do not force interactions or “let dogs work it out” • I do not overbook or rotate large groups of unfamiliar dogs • I do not take a one-size-fits-all approach Instead, I focus on individualized care, clear boundaries, and calm structure, the kind of environment where dogs can truly settle, decompress, and feel secure.
“Bridget did an awesome job with Ardal! She took great care of him and sent me a few updates, which I appreciated. I have a very tired, very happy pup and will definitely be requesting future daycare appointments!”
“Rhett was just comically exhausted after 2 busy days with you. Clearly he is loving the attention and play! Appreciate the flexibility you offer to meet our schedules.”
“I can’t say enough about how well Xena loves coming to daycare with Michelle and Christy. They treat my dog as if it’s their own !! Great communication and highly recommend!”
About: Taking care of your animal will be my number one priority. I love animals, I will be more than attentive to their needs and accommodate anything you would like. I’m available any time you need me and I will take in any animal, big, small, furry, hairless, you name it! I love them all. I’ve had animals my whole life so I know how to take care of dogs, I’ve had cats now for 5 years and kittens and it’s a handful but it has taught me so many things needed to be a perfect sitter! I love getting pets toys, and fancy food sometimes to spoil them so expect that (if it’s fone with the owner) of course. I can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pet!
“She was very warm and welcoming from the very beginning..My dogs took to her! She answer all my questions and concerns.I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their dog looked after.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals as long as I can remember! My parents adopted our first dog when I was only 4 years old. Tala was a Siberian husky that I took care of daily from a very young age. Throughout my childhood I grew up with medium/larger dogs such as German shepherds, huskies, pitbulls, and a Great Dane. My love for animals didn’t stop there! As a kid I regularly helped a family friend on her farm take care of wild and farm animals that she rehabbed such as bunnies, raccoons, squirrels, chickens, horses, cows, goats, etc. Now that I live on my own with my husband, we own 2 silly orange cats (4yo) and 2 dogs. Our 2 beagles, Starla(6yo) and Ellie (4yo), are ‘retired research hero’s’, meaning they were lab test animals for human medical research, they even have tattoos inside their right ears! They do great meeting new animals. But due to their life in the lab and awkward lack of learning other dogs body natural language, they require a meet and greet with any pets that plan on staying in our home just to ensure all animals clearly feel comfortable with each other. They are beyond friendly dogs that don’t know what a ‘stranger’ is and will accept love from anyone. Starla has seizures, and because of this I have plenty of experience with handling her during an episode. I would more than willing to board/take care of another pet who suffers from medical conditions! I personally know how nerve racking it is to leave our little fur babies life in the hands of another person that we hardly know. Ellie has a poultry allergy and we’ve become pretty good at checking the labels before feeding anything to her. It was quite surprising to see just how many pet items have poultry in them! I also suffer from a nut allergy, so I also know beyond animals just how dangerous it can be. You can feel more than safe trusting me with your fur babies allergies! I take all forms of special conditions very seriously. I’m currently a college student at ONU, but live in my own home that I own off campus. I do not work at this time and have very few classes that are physically on campus. I love meeting new people and animals especially. I have a fenced in yard where my beagles love to run around. While it is safely fence in, my animals are never left unattended as my animals safety is always a priority. During nice weather I love to take my dogs on walks out at Perry Farms or the Kankakee State Park. These are the places I choose for the safest and cleanest walking paths to keep my pups safe. Before walks I always check the pavement to ensure safe temperature for the little paws. I also spray my pups with Wondercides natural flea & tick repellent to further ensure safety for their health when going on walks. My house is only 1 level. The only stairs your pet would be required to climb are the ones going in and out of the house. While I do have a basement, only the cats are allowed down there. I am still new to the pet sitting world, but I am so excited!
About: I have a dog myself a matipoo, her name is sugar 2 years old! I've always wanted to work with dogs, I love dogs so much! I'm available during the week and maybe weekends it depends, but I would enjoy watching your fury baby's, there will be dogs on walks and have lots of fun! I have a fenced yard and one friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! Your dog will not be in the cage all day, walks after every meal!
“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”
“Karen and Tom were great with my girl Xo. Their big yard is perfect for Xo and her excess energy! They kept me updated and sent photos and videos of Xo. I was very pleased with Xo’s overall stay. Xo normally doesn’t eat when staying in a new environment. However, Karen was able to get Xo to eat comfortably. Xo enjoyed her stay, she came back an happy girl. I feel very comfortable leaving Xo with Karen and Tom and would definitely recommend them!”
“Highly recommended! Erika stands apart from other sitters in all the best ways. She is very communicative both before and during the stay and follows instructions. She took great care of my anxious pup - I never had a moment's worry. I will definitely be booking again.”

I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I pay close attention to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment. As a healthcare worker, I usually work three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule the rest of the week to focus on pet care. On my days off, I love spending time with animals—it’s honestly one of the best ways to unwind and bring joy into my routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or walks, I have the time, energy, and passion to give your pet the attention they deserve. My healthcare background also makes me dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to detail—especially when it comes to routines, medications, or special care needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine—and I make it my priority to provide care that’s tailored to them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need consistency and structure to sweet senior dogs who need patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, cuddle partner, or someone to reinforce training, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.
About: 🩷 I have been around dogs since I was very young! With that being said, I currently have one of my own and have watched many dogs and cats for friends and family! I absolutely love spending time with animals and making it a priority that they feel special and loved! Your animals will love me! 🩷 *SCHEDULE CHANGE* I am now working Monday-Friday 8AM-4:30PM. I am still available after work and all day on Saturdays & Sundays. Thank you so much! My dog is trained to stay in my yard and has free roam of the house. He is spoiled with treats, many toys, and so much love! I will provide your animals the careful attention they require to meet your unique demands.
“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.”
About: Hi fellow pet owners! I’m a 20 year old college student looking to help you out and spend some time with your fur babies! I’m a pet owner myself, I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs, 4 cats and 2 leopard geckos at home. I’m a responsible and experienced pet owner and animal lover. I’ve pet-sat for many people over the years and look forward to doing it now on Rover. :) I’m a full time college student but I’ll have some times during the day where I’m free and weekends I’m typically available at any time. During the Summer (May-August I’m home for summer break and have more days available!) When meeting new dogs, if they are shy or apprehensive I give them time to adjust to me. Once they’re comfortable I’m more than happy to shower them with affection! I love animals and animal love me. Their safety is my top priority and I make sure they have access to food & water, are brought outside enough, and cannot get into anything that could harm them (chocolate, grapes, etc.) When walking dogs, I make sure to have a tight grip on the leash and stay far from other dogs nearby to avoid any incidents.
About: Hello! I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years — including rescues, seniors, and pups with lots of energy! I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with feeding routines, meds, and special care needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I promise to keep you updated with cute pictures and messages throughout their stay. Your fur baby’s comfort and safety come first! 🐕✨ I am currently working part time. Which is Tues-Sat 4pm-11pm tho so I’m anytime free before then. & I am off every Sunday and Monday I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my entire life. I’ve spent many years working at a vet clinic so I am comfortable with all animals. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets for many years. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, and can be available with advanced notice. My work can be done from anywhere so I am available most times. If I’m caring for a pet in a clients home, the first thing I want to do is spend some time letting the pet get to know me. They need to feel us out too!
About: Lifelong animal lover experienced in river walks, companion feedings, soothing chest rubs, treat distribution, and earning a sly cats trust. I will make sure your pets are happy, SAFE, and completely spoiled while you’re away! After a recent career shift- a friend suggested I try Rover to generate a bit of income. Bonus: an opportunity to do something I LOVE! I’m just getting started (here), but I look forward to meeting your fur family. I closely monitor outdoor time to ensure the pet is secure in the yard. I do NOT have a fence (all neighbors do). I will either clip them to the ground lead (125 lb hold), or long leash them in hand (I prefer your dog wear a harness while in my care). For their safety and security, your pet will NOT be outside without supervision. When out walking I will remain aware and assess surroundings to prepare for any triggers the dog may have and offer redirection. I will closely follow your schedule and preferences to make transition of care easier.
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and enjoy working with them. I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and played with the animals. I’m very trustworthy and my friends and family members rely on me with their pet care needs. I am a full time college student but I am flexible with my hours. I live 2 hours away when I’m not at school so I will go home for holiday breaks and the summer! My friends and family trust me to watch their pets and take them out on walks throughout the day. I have alot of pet experience and can do anything you ask of me!
About: I have been caring for a cane Corso for the past 10 years. I have three cats who I adore very much altogether. I love animals.

I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is free an open to fur babies to walk or watch for you I’d like to be walking or watching quite often I have a fenced in yard I also have bay gates to keep out of areas when needed we have leashes and everything your pet needs to succeed
About: I have had pets since I was very young. I have cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a tortoise! Making sure that an animal is healthy, safe, and comfortable is my priority 🙂 I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can easily make adjustments to work around a schedule that works well for you and your pet. I live in a secure apartment with double doors at major exit ways. There is also a fenced yard around the building. For animals that are particularly anxious in new surroundings, I usually transform my study room into a safe haven (with cozy blankets, toys and treats galore) until your pet is more comfortable to roam around the house.
About: I have grown up with dogs and currently have two. I have given medications that include insulin injections. I love animals and will make sure your pet gets the love and attention they need! I am currently working full time as a teacher. I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer months, I have full availability. I will work around your schedule. I will make sure your pet is getting what they need! I will learn their likes and dislikes and make them feel comfortable during our walks and visits.

“The nicest person I’ve ever met, She treated my problem child ( chocolate lab Henry ) like a pro and one of her own family. She can handle anything. And deserves 10 stars.”
“Eloise is a true dog lover! This was our second time booking with her, and both times, it was a great experience. My dog is a young husky mix, with a lot of energy, and Eloise was a great match for her. She has a fenced backyard for the dogs to run off their energy. And she also snuggles and plays with the dogs indoors. All my interactions with Eloise have been friendly and professional, and she is always readily responsive to messages. I also love that she shares lots of pictures of my doggie so we know she’s having a wonderful time. It feels like my pup gets a vacation while we are on one too! Thanks for taking such great care of our pup, Eloise!”
“Bridget was amazing!! Came and picked up pups, sent lots of pictures and updates, and very friendly/responsive. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again ♥️”
“We trust no one else with our boys! They are always so well taken care of and communication could not be better. We’ve booked many times and will continue to do so as long as they’ll have us!”
“Mariah was great! She goes above and beyond. She was very accommodating and stayed in communication with me during my dog’s boarding time there. Her love for pets really shines through and I’m so happy I’ve met her. 😊”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
About: I have experience in boarding dogs, walking dogs, and grooming dogs.I have experience in training as well because of having my beautiful and playful Australian shepherd. Currently I work as a freelancing groomer so I can create my own schedule to an extent. I am usually able to be off by 2:30. I have a fenced in backyard and a spacious home. I have pet toys of my own given that I have another dog who is also very trusting with other dogs.
“I can't imagine a better person to leave our Parker Boy with! Heather took the best care of our dog and sent pictures and videos to keep our minds at ease while we were apart from him. She made him feel like a part of the family and made sure to do whatever she could to make him comfortable. We would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friends!!”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“Sheree is an amazing dog sitter. I was in a bind because I needed someone to take care of my mom's dog while she was in the hospital. I found Sheree and she was a life saver. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos of how my mom's dog was doing. She did an amazing job of taking care of him. My family will definitely be using Sheree again. I cannot thank her enough”
“This is my first time using rover. Needed a last minute sitter, Michelle happened to be available for the days that i needed. She was very accommodating with the meet and greet. I knew right then and there that i found the perfect sitter. My dog loved being there. Her family was very sweet and i knew my dog was going to be in good hands. I got updated daily with pics. They even made her a couple of sweaters. My dog was very relaxed there because of the love and care that Michelle showed her. I highly recommend Michelle as a dog sitter. I will definitely be a frequent client of hers.”
“Kimberly and Matthew were great with our dogs! We enjoyed the consistent updates and pictures. One of our dogs is a nervous guy and he warmed up quickly to both. Highly recommend!”
“Enas was wonderful caring for my dog. From the very beginning she provided thorough communication. I had to book last minute, had a lot going on, she was patient the entire time. She provided daily pictures of my dog. Even when it was time for pickup my dog didn’t want to leave her daughter. 😊 That made my heart smile cause it was proof my dog was loved and cared for genuinely in my absence. Thank you Enas and your family for loving and caring for my Bella 🐾. You are the best and I will certainly be booking with you for any future dog boarding needs.”
“Noel jumped in when I needed a sitter last minute. She took excellent care of Clyde and will continue to use her. She kept me updated and I feel so at peace knowing that she and her family are there for my big guy while my husband heals from his back surgery.”
“My dog Milo loved his time with Desiree! I booked her on such short notice and she was so accommodating and flexible with her schedule, and she was so sweet to Milo!”
