“Byron and Martha were great hosts and took great care of our Yorkie boys! They sent daily pictures and messages to let us know how the boys were doing, so we didn't have to worry during our trip. I highly recommend them, and I'll be bringing the boys back whenever my wife and I travel again.”
“Kim was such a wonderful host to Pepper. We love all the pictures and her attention and care for ppper was greatly appreciated. Pepper has a great time and we were so happy with her. We definitely will use her service again.”
“Jacob is amazing! He puts the dogs and the owner at ease! He was so great with our Sophie and sent pictures each day!:). We can not say enough good things about him!!:)”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our dog, Arlo, while we were out of state for a funeral. Leaving him was incredibly difficult for us because we had never left him before, but Heather gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. She reassured us many times before and during our trip, which meant so much during such a hard time. She sent multiple pictures every single day along with detailed updates, and it was clear Arlo was being treated like part of the family. Heather and her family took such wonderful care of him, and we could truly see how loved and comfortable he was while we were away. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Heather made a painful and stressful time so much easier for us, and we are beyond grateful we found her. We would give her 10 stars if we could and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and compassionate to watch their pet.”
“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Knowing I had to be out of town in August for one week, I began searching for a reliable and qualified dog sitter for my 5-year-old pug early in the summer. Not just any sitter would do! I reached out to friends who enthusiastically recommended Dee and rover.com. Dee had cared for my friend's large dog many times and our friends were very pleased. During the initial meet & greet, I could easily see that Dee was a dog lover and someone who took her role as a dog sitter very seriously. She wanted to know about our pug's routines, personality, and special needs. I liked that Dee cared for just one dog at a time and had a fenced in yard. Dee was very personable and showed a genuine interest in my concerns. I felt comfortable at Dee's place and so did my pug. Without hesitation, I booked a week with Dee through rover.com. My pug, Penny, was well cared during her week at Dee's place. When I dropped her off, Dee took the time to go over the notes I had written and specific instructions pertaining to Penny's care. I really appreciated the daily updates: text messages, photos, and videos. Rover.com made it easy to communicate with Dee and the app is user friendly. The daily communications reassured me that my pug was doing well! Whenever I had questions, Dee answered in a timely manner. Dee is a sitter who will love and care for your dog like he/she was her own pet and I would definitely book with her again! Dee, thank you so much for taking such good care of Penny, even with her anxiety, quirks, and unique pug behaviors. Thank you for taking the time and effort to communicate with us on a daily basis. We appreciate everything you did!”
“Kim has cared for my 2 dogs several times. I referred my daughter and her family to Kim as I knew she would take good care of all of them. Kim keeps us updated with candid photos and messages. I don't know what I would do without Kim as I am not worried about my furry "babies" when they are in her care. Many thanks, Kim!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Chisato was amazing and took such great care of our Lucey! She sent so many photos and videos and we could tell how comfortable Lucey felt and how much fun she was having! We will definitely have Chisato care for Lucey again!”
“We are so delighted to have found Sunshine! Our pup was walked, snuggled, played with, and loved, as evident from the photos! We could relax and enjoy our trip, knowing he was in her patient, fun, kind hands. We feel so blessed to have found Sunshine and will absolutely use her again! 💛”
“Angela and Dave took great care of Mr Bubbles. We had a last minute cancellation, and had to book with them the night before we left on vacation. They were so nice and understanding. I felt so comfortable leaving our family dog with them. I got pictures and daily updates while he was with them. Bubbles came home happy and tired, I can tell he had a great time playing with their dogs.”
“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
“Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!”
“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”
“Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.”
“I highly recommend Rusty. Benny stayed with him while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. He sent me pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I was especially nervous because Benny has a history of resource guarding, but he handled him very well and everything went smoothly. Benny was well cared for, safe, and happy during his stay. I would def trust him to watch Benny again.”
“We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.”

“Barbara is amazing and very clearly an animal lover. She responded right away, was very personable, took care of my friends and sent many pics to put me at ease they were well. I booked the drop-in visit because an already lengthy trip was doubled and they had run out of supplies. Barbara brought litter and food she had at home because she cares for strays, true compassion for all animals. Besides the many positive reviews she obviously does this a lot as she was already familiar with my complex from walking some neighbors dogs. Very highly recommended, I will request her services again for sure. Thank you Barbara, you're great”

She was very responsive, shared lots of great photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her!”

She put all of my nerves at ease, and the cats loved her! She’s my #1. Kind, caring, attentive, and so so so helpful.”

She helped dry up our apartment and met with maintenance, and made sure the cats were all okay!! Toni is simply awesome and has gone far and above to take care of our cat who has some complicated needs medication-wise. Thank you Toni!”
“Liz took the best care of our two dogs. One of our dogs is a bit nervous and she was great about the needs of each dog with different personalities. It was our first time to be away during the night without the dogs and they were perfectly fine with Liz making several stops throughout the day. We will definitely ask for Liz to care for our dogs in the future. She’s very good about communicating and prompt with all the requested visits. I highly recommend Liz. She is so nice and professional.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Tommy received ! From the moment we arrived, Swagata made us feel welcome and at ease. Tommy can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the friendly and attentive caregiver. Throughout the day, I received photo updates showing Tommy playing, lounging , and getting lots of love. It was clear he was having a blast and felt completely safe and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap — always a sign of a fun-filled day! I’m so grateful to have found a place where Tommy is treated like family.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover for many years. My dog, Chase, was diagnosed with cancer at age 11, and I cared from him through the very end of his journey until he passed away at 12. Caring for him taught me patience, compassion, attention to detail, and the importance of treating every pet like family. In addition to caring for Chase, I’ve pet sat for family and friends for years, with many dogs staying in my home for two weeks or more at a time. I understand that every pet has unique routines, personalities and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone. On the occasional errand or appointment, I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Providing peace of mind for both pets and their owners is very important to me. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own fur baby. Whether you’re looking for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care like family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Why pet parents choose me: • Work from home, providing frequent supervision •Experience with extended pet stays •Comfortable following special routines and care instructions •Dedicated to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved •Regular updates and communication for owners •Treat every pet like family I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and become part of my daily routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s schedule, exercise needs, feeding routine, and personality. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a midday walk, or simply a comforting presence, I am happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I will follow your care instructions closely. Because I work from home, I can monitor pets throughout the day and provide plenty of attention and companionship. On the rare occasion that I need to step out, I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them and ensure they remain safe and comfortable. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I own 4 cats, also owned 2 dogs in the past that lived to their golden age. My cats range in age from 12 - 2. I care for my animals all the time from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. They are entertained with toys and activities throughout the day. I have cat and dog carriers that I use. My car is very safe and I will put them in the backseat. If there are special requirements, please let me know.
About: I grew up with a dog and loved him very much. He passed away, and the family has not yet gotten another, but I miss caring for a dog. I love all dogs and cats of any size and any animal, for that matter. I am incredibly attentive to animals and always love giving them care, even when they are not mine. I am almost always home and able to pet sit through the day and overnight. I am currently in college, but taking classes online, so I am constantly available to tend to your pet's needs. I am a very active person who can take your pet on walks or runs more than once each day if need be. If your pet enjoys resting, I will also do it with them as I complete work on my computer and will pay close attention to them or snuggle with them if it's what they like. I will care for each pet depending on their specific needs, whether they need to have walks, use the bathroom often, or receive personal care. My home is very safe for pets, as it was already set up for a dog in the past with carpeted stairs and a yard to play in. The yard has a fence around part of it, but it is still open, so if I take your pet outside to play, I will use a leash and keep them in the yard safely separated from any danger. The only other person living in the home will be my mother, who is also an animal lover, but is generally at work during weekdays.
“Again, I appreciate the care Tom and Debbie provide for my dog. I had a VERY last minute need for help and they were so kind in their quick response. I worry about my pup too mich— there is always something —and Debbie responds in a reassuring manner. Thanks Debbie & Tom!”

About: I have a soft spot for older dogs and the extra patience they deserve. Senior pets need a slower pace and someone who really pays attention — and that's exactly what I provide. On the other hand, I absolutely love a young, energetic dog who keeps me on my toes too! I grew up with Chihuahuas and have regularly babysat my family's dogs over the years, so while I may not have a dog of my own right now, pets have always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I work remotely so I am avaliable anytime to fufill your dog's need's house sitting or drop ins! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine — I work from home, so I'm around all day and can give your dog constant attention and companionship. I live in a two-story house with my partner and have a backyard, perfect for some outdoor time. We're also just a block from the lake, so adventurous pups will love the walks! I'm available for sitting pretty much anytime, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Please note the backyard is not fenced, so leashed outdoor time is always practiced for safety. When a pet is in my care, they're treated like a true member of the family. Since I work from home, I'm available all day to make sure they're never left alone for long. I love getting outside, so expect plenty of walks and adventures — we're a block from the lake, so there's always somewhere fun to explore! For boarding, pets sleep in their own bed or crate so they have a comfortable, familiar space to wind down. I always follow the pet owner's routines and instructions as closely as possible, whether I'm caring for your dog in my home or yours. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness is always my top priority.
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I know every dog is unique and needs unique care. I want to make sure your dog is treated with care and understanding while you're away! I have experience giving oral medications (both pills and liquids). I currently have an open schedule for summer! Whether you need a dog walk or multiple visits for feedings while you're away, I've got you covered! I want to build a trusting relationship with you and you're pets. For home visits, I will take time to ensure your pet is eating and drinking well, make sure litter boxes and crates are clean, and each pet knows I'm there to make them feel safe and loved. Is you're pet a little shy? No worries! I'll give their privacy after making sure everything is taken care of.
“Great experience for my puppy learning to be left alone during the day! Faith kept our training habits going and was even conscientious about checking her water before leaving. So grateful to have someone helping our little family out!”
About: My lifelong love for dogs means I've been caring for them since I was a kid. I'm experienced with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities. Caring for pets involves daily walks for dogs, consistent feeding schedules, regular litter box cleaning, dedicated playtime, routine grooming, and vigilant health checks to ensure they remain happy and healthy. Whether in my home or a client's, I ensure pets have safe spaces, consistent routines, and plenty of attention, while closely following the owner's instructions.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
“Excellent communication and lighting fast response times when using the app. Most importantly, Ava took great care of our Nala and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely rebook with Ava for the summer.”
About: I’ve worked hands-on with animals for over 12 years through shelters, rescue organizations, fostering, and TNR work. I’ve cared for everything from neonatal kittens to senior and special-needs animals, including medication administration and post-op recovery care. I’m calm, reliable, and experienced with animals that may be nervous, shy, energetic, or need extra patience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my current work schedule, I’m available early mornings (5–6 AM) before work, again around noon, and throughout the evening. I make pets a top priority and can also provide late-evening check-ins to help pets settle in comfortably for the night. Based on your pet’s normal routine and comfort level, I can accommodate leash walks, supervised backyard time, or longer walks and exercise as needed.

“Toni is not only extremely professional and experienced with dogs but she gave my pup so much love and had no problem with personalized care (specific feeding routine, walking a strong dog, 6+ pictures per walk, written daily reports). Toni was so communicative and I was never worried about my dog despite being out of the country and needing last minute edits to my booking! I am picky about who I trust with my dog since she’s a large adult rescue dog but I’d confidently recommend any dog owner to use Toni’s services! Your dog will thank you for it !! ??”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
About: I grew up caring for my own pets and watching others, so pet care has always been part of my life. I’ve cared for both playful puppies and elderly dogs, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adjust care to each dog’s needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on comfort, safety, and trust. I work part-time as a barista and am a full-time student, but I intentionally build pet care into my routine. I’m available between classes and before or after work to care for your pets, and I can provide reliable care any day of the week. I respect your home and your pet’s routine as if they were my own. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medications, and house rules. I make sure pets are always secure, doors and gates are checked, and their environment stays clean and calm. I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for in your home.
“Very communicative. Gave my pup what he needed. I am very pleased. It is a little nerve-wracking to open your house and little puppy up to a stranger, but Kyle is a man who builds trust, and he does a very good job. Thank you Kyle!”
About: Hi! I’ve cared for pets for years through feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I strive to provide reliable, attentive care through walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I also have young children in the home who have been taught to be gentle and respectful around animals, helping create a loving, family-friendly environment for pets in my care.
About: I have all kinds of experience with all different animals! Dogs, cats, rats, lizards, hedgehogs you name it. I love ‘em all!! I have been dog walking since January 2022. I am currently working part time. So I have lot of free time during the evenings and weekends! Taking care of animals is always top priority to me! I promise to always put your fur baby first when he/she is in my care! Safety is a top priority to me and I’ll always make sure to keep a close eye on your pet. After all…they aren’t just just a pet…they are our family members!

“Byron and Martha were great hosts and took great care of our Yorkie boys! They sent daily pictures and messages to let us know how the boys were doing, so we didn't have to worry during our trip. I highly recommend them, and I'll be bringing the boys back whenever my wife and I travel again.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our dog, Arlo, while we were out of state for a funeral. Leaving him was incredibly difficult for us because we had never left him before, but Heather gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. She reassured us many times before and during our trip, which meant so much during such a hard time. She sent multiple pictures every single day along with detailed updates, and it was clear Arlo was being treated like part of the family. Heather and her family took such wonderful care of him, and we could truly see how loved and comfortable he was while we were away. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Heather made a painful and stressful time so much easier for us, and we are beyond grateful we found her. We would give her 10 stars if we could and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and compassionate to watch their pet.”
“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Kim has cared for my 2 dogs several times. I referred my daughter and her family to Kim as I knew she would take good care of all of them. Kim keeps us updated with candid photos and messages. I don't know what I would do without Kim as I am not worried about my furry "babies" when they are in her care. Many thanks, Kim!”
“Chisato was amazing and took such great care of our Lucey! She sent so many photos and videos and we could tell how comfortable Lucey felt and how much fun she was having! We will definitely have Chisato care for Lucey again!”
“We are so delighted to have found Sunshine! Our pup was walked, snuggled, played with, and loved, as evident from the photos! We could relax and enjoy our trip, knowing he was in her patient, fun, kind hands. We feel so blessed to have found Sunshine and will absolutely use her again! 💛”
“Angela and Dave took great care of Mr Bubbles. We had a last minute cancellation, and had to book with them the night before we left on vacation. They were so nice and understanding. I felt so comfortable leaving our family dog with them. I got pictures and daily updates while he was with them. Bubbles came home happy and tired, I can tell he had a great time playing with their dogs.”
“My baby boi loves going to see Tony's family and has been several times. What I love is that Thompson gets excited when we pull up as he wants to go play with his friends. I'll continue to rebook and only great things to say!”
“Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!”
“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”
“Once again Veronique has exceeded my expectations. Was my second time having her watch my dog Jimmie. She is wonderful and she has demonstrated her passion and expertise for canine care, by taking excellent care of my dog, and by sending me numerous photos and videos of Jimmie during her many long walks in parks and forest perserves which my dog loves. I did not worry a bit with Veronique in charge. Jimmie had a super great time playing with her two dogs. I highly recommend her for dog sitting and grooming.”
“I highly recommend Rusty. Benny stayed with him while I was away, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. He sent me pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I was especially nervous because Benny has a history of resource guarding, but he handled him very well and everything went smoothly. Benny was well cared for, safe, and happy during his stay. I would def trust him to watch Benny again.”
“We needed care for our almost 13 year old quirky dog, Lucy for a week while we traveled to Michigan to be with my mom while she had major surgery/recovery. I found Debbie on Rover and contacted her regarding boarding Lucy while we were gone. On the phone, I immediately felt comfortable with Debbie. We chatted for 15-20 minutes and I told her all of Lucy's "quirks." She invited us over for a meet and greet right away to ensure Lucy (and us) felt comfortable. Our Lucy has been recovering from a leg injury and also has been a VERY picky eater. Therefore we needed someone that would be very patient with her. Debbie and her family were amazing. Debbie and her husband were able to get Lucy to eat regularly and also take her vitamins! This has been a feat for us let me tell you! They even taught me a couple tricks to get Lucy to eat her vitamins! And since Lucy has come home, she has been so much better with her eating and her leg as well! I couldn’t be more happy ? We received updates every single day...and Debbie took so many beautiful photos of Lucy. She really has a talent for photography! I never had to worry for a minute about Lucy. She was spoiled rotten by Debbie and her family. We cannot express how grateful we are to have found Debbie and her family.”
“We are very pleased with the love and care given to our Lexxie. The pictures sent throughout the days helped us get through our journey seeing our little girl. We would definitely return for future pet care and are very happy Lexxie was happy most of all. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too. She was flexible, asked all the pertinent questions, sent daily updates, and I loved all the pictures she sent. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my dog again. Highly highly recommend!”
“Deanne watched our baby during our 2 weeks in Ireland. She sent daily pictures and reassuring updates about how his day was going. She's super accommodating about pickup and drop-off times, and Taisho always sleeps the entire way home, a sign of a happy, tired puppy. He's on the smaller side and not wild about being around larger dogs, so she always makes sure he gets plenty of attention and a spot on a chair up above the craziness. Deanne's the best! I've used her for overnights and longer visits like this one - she's always been great. I'm actually on Rover to book another stay!”
