“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“Azure was just amazing with our puppy. We had planned an out of town trip and needed a place for our puppy with short notice. Azure had great reviews and after a successful meet and greet, we dropped off my pup (Asta). Azure sent videos and photos daily. Asta looked so happy which made our family feel happy about picking the right person. Asta was well cared for and found a life long friend with Azure and her family. Thank you so much! We will be back :)”
“Mrs Nan and her family were the perfect choice for my pup's first pet sitter. My rogue can be stand offish with new people since she was adopted right before COVID-19 start. Mrs. Nan was patient with her, loved on my girl as much as rogue allowed, encouraged her to eat when she was depressed, and checked on her through out the day when Rogue decided to hide in her crate instead of playing with Nate. I received multiple pictures and updates, and Mrs Nan was quick to answer questions on how things were going. I highly recommend using Mrs Nan, I plan to use her again.”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“Christine did a fantastic job with my dogos they were happy and joyful. The pictures she sent throughout the time ahead had them where great . Im glad my dogs had fun and I would definitely return to her in the future.”
“Heather is very reliable. I’ve used her several times and am happy with her care! She’s very responsive and timely to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend.”
“I am so grateful to have found Nancy. I was nervous about leaving my dog, Mazi but this was the perfect place. Mazi is a rescue dog from a life of abuse and very timid and fragile. They were wonderful with her and their dogs were very sweet. The stream of photos sent were very reassuring. I am booking them again for a longer stay and can't express how grateful I am to have a save, loving place for Mazi to stay.”
“Anne did a wonderful job of taking care of our old lady dog. You can tell Anne genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She sent a daily detailed update and pictures. Our old lady can be picky and sassy and Anne did a wonderful job with her. We will definitely be repeat customers, our dog was treated like a queen.”
“Joscelyn is extremely kind and caring sitter. We got regular updates and pictures. Our pups had a great time and came home happily tired 😁 We would come back again for sure! Recommend 10/10”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs/cats. I have been a dog groomer for close to three years but have recently decided to become a stay at home mom. I can’t imagine my life without dogs! I have one dog that is an Australian Shepard named Bryce he is 5 years old, neutered, and very friendly. We go on walks daily. We also love to play fetch. I can also offer Dog grooming or nail trim services upon request. I am currently a stay at home mom! I am home 24/7 and can let your pup outside as often as they need. I have a fenced in yard so they can roam around off leash, sniff around, and enjoy themselves. I currently have one dog named Bryce. He is a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. He is very friendly and LOVES to play. He loves cats and dog alike. We go on daily walks and play fetch everyday. I love all dogs from teacup puppies to great danes. I also have experience in grooming so If your doggy needs a bath/haircut/nail trim I could provide those services as well. I have a fenced in yard, but I always go outside with the doggies while I let them outside. My Fur baby Bryce is lovely companion and will keep your baby company. We do allow pups on our couch and bed so they can get the best snuggles and comfort while you are away.
“Alexis is a five star host without a doubt, and quite possibly a professional photographer in the making 😃. We received regular update (complete with pictures) of our dog on a regular basis. She was very accommodating and made our first experience with Rover an easy one. I would definitely recommend her, if you need someone to watch your pet!”
“We are so happy to have found Eddie. Leaving our girl behind while we were on vacation was difficult. Within the first day we felt so relieved Eddie sent a photo of Brooklyn sitting in a familiar way and we quickly believed she was totally comfortable. What a great feeling!! We found our go-to guy and as a result will be traveling more often sans Brooklyn. Thanks Eddie”

I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a car to commute to dog parks or a closed in yard. I also have a 6 year old Golden doodle who loves a play date!!
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”

“Alexis was amazing & I will absolutely be using again! She did 1 hour drop-in visits for my 2 kitties for 8 days & went above & beyond my expectations. This was the first time I’ve ever had to leave them for an extended period of time, so it was also the first time I’ve had to hire someone to help take care of them, so I was pretty nervous. She came over ahead of time to get acquainted with them & myself, stayed in constant communication while I was gone, sent me lots of pictures & updates, & most impressive- got one of my babies to be snuggly & loving with her which is incredible considering their normal disposition around new people (hiding be pretty hissy/unfriendly). That alone let me know just how amazing she is with animals! When I came home their litter boxes were clean, their food & water were full, & they were both perfect condition. I’m so grateful for Alexis & how well she took care of my kitties while I was gone. I knew they were safe & well cared for which made being away from them 1,000 times easier! She will be my number 1 go-to anytime I need someone to take care of my cats in the future!”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of my girls. I received a picture every day and that reassured me that the girls were doing okay. I will definitely be having Taylor watch my girls again!”
“Makayla has been absolutely perfect. She has been doing drop-ins for my cat and dog. Responsible, timely, communicative, and so much more. She’s a sitter you can count on to go above and beyond. She had been sending so many pictures/videos of my fur babies and I’m so extremely grateful for that. She’s super flexible as my schedule was a bit chaotic so I loved that too. I would 100% book her again. My animals seemed to love her!”
“Andrea was spectacular and took such good care of my kitties! She was communicative, kind, thorough and went out of her way to provide the best care she could. I came home to healthy, happy cats who got their meds, were well fed and watered and had clean litter! She even brought our mail in and watered plants so they wouldn't die - along with a detailed daily checklist of everything she completed. We will absolutely try to rebook with Andrea when we need a sitter again and will recommend her to others in the area!”

“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”
“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”
“First meeting went well. Sally is kind and was aware of the surroundings at the park where we met. She was understanding about our fearful rescue Portia. So that was just a meet ‘n greet. Our second dog, Baloo, happily walked at her side. Will be booking more walkies with Miss Sally!”
About: Both my wife and I have had pets since we were little. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and love spending time with them all.

We have a comfortable, fenced in backyard and a cage for inside if needed. We have 2 friendly dogs that have been around plenty of other dogs with no issues, and always love the extra company. Our 2 cats also get along well with dogs, and have always been around them.
About: I am very caring and will provide a family like atmosphere. I will make sure the best possible care is given, i have been pet sitting since i was 10 years old for family and friends. I have 1 cats currently. I am a mother to a 7 year old boy, a 2 year old boy and have my cousins 7 year old daughter. I have experience with animals with social and separation anxiety . I have dealt with special needs animals as well. I am a huge animal lover and will always make sure that every animal is treated as kindly as possible.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. Currently I have a small Havanese and a cat, but if it were up to me I would have a-lot more! I have previous experience watching my neighbors Basset hound and Rottweiler for weeks at a time while they were on vacation. This consisted of many walks a day, feeding the dogs, picking up poop out of the yard, and staying the night at their house. I also have pet sit for a family with two Yorkies, a Chihuahua and a bunny. One summer I nannied/ dog sat for a family with a toddler and golden doodle three times a week. One unique experience I have is caring for a blind and deaf elderly dog. I had to watch her while she went to the bathroom, carry her up the stairs, feed her separately from the other dogs, and pick her up when she fell. I believe that I can tackle any challenge and give your pets the best care they deserve! I am currently a student with classes in the mid morning. I could let pets out/ dog walk in the morning before class and I am free in the afternoons and able to stay overnight if needed. I would take into consideration my surroundings in a house before taking my eyes off the animal. I don’t plan on watching animals in my own home so I would trust that the owners provide a safe environment for their pets. I would have a meet and greet with the owner and pets prior to watching them to fully understand what the owner expects of me.

“Violet always has the best time when she goes to Agnathas home! She comes back exhausted, from all the play time she gets in while there!

It is a nice relief knowing our pup is getting the best care while we are away!”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad we chose Jennifer to watch our Golden Retriever. Our dog stayed 8 nights, and we were sent photos and daily updates. Not once did I feel worried about her well-being. I can tell our dog enjoyed her stay, and I'm not convinced she's glad to be back home! We will most definitely use Jennifer again in the future, and will recommend her to others.”
“Stephanie was beyond phenomenal, it was my second time using her services and you couldn’t ask for anyone more caring and thoughtful, I traveled overseas and always gave me options for updates incase I didn’t have service.

Thank you so much Amara we will definitely be boarding with you again this summer!!! ❤”
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
