“Jodi was awesome with our 1 year old pup! During our first time leaving him for a full week, Jodi made us very comfortable by sending plenty of picture, videos, and updates on how he was doing. He came home happy and tired from all the playing with the other dogs! We will definitely be rebooking with Jodi.”
“We left our dog with Michelle for 2 weeks and I felt so confident that she was well taken care of and loved. I am so happy we found Michelle because we will be very comfortable to use her again. She was treated like family and allowed all over the furniture. We got pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend Michelle!”
“Rebeca (and her whole family!) are amazing sitters for our dog, Lucky! We have had Lucky stay with Rebeca for both short and long stays, and to say they take care of her like their own is an understatement! Lucky gets the royal treatment at Rebeca’s, like a member of the family. We are so grateful for the daily pictures, walks, snuggles, and level of care they provide. We would recommend Rebeca as a sitter to anyone!!”
“Finn is the second dog we have boarded with Michael. He is still a puppy. He was very happy at Michael’s and kept all of his good habits that he has learned so far! Great home and family atmosphere, the best.”
“Natasha and Jonathan were excellent! This was Bennie’s first stay and I will definitely book again. Bennie quickly bonded to Natasha which made me very happy as I had only left him with someone once before. Their home is very dog-friendly and Natasha sent me regular updates during my trip. Bennie was treated so well with regular walks and snuggles. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby and keeping my mind at ease!”
“Rita was very accommodating, sent us updates and pictures, and provided a calm environment for our anxious dog. I would not hesitate to have our dog stay with her again. Thank you Rita!”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
“It was such a relief booking with with her. She was able to take my dog last minute and catered to both of their personalities. She went above and beyond what I need her to do and definitely exceeded all my expectations. To the point, my dogs didn’t even wanna leave her. She accommodated them in every way for sure. Kept me updated with pictures and made the pick up and drop off very smooth. I can’t wait to book with her again. And I’m sure they would love to see her again as well.”
“Maggie really seemed to enjoy her time at Ana's place and was comfortable there. Ana was also very flexible with the scheduling. She also took great pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again for boarding.”
“Freddi and her boyfriend are such caring dog sitters. It’s obvious that they loves the dogs a lot, often taking them on long walks to tire them out and having them play. They are very attentive and patient, often updating me about the dogs and even offering suggestions on changing their food intake after doing some research. Our dogs were very happy and healthy when we went to pick them up, and even kind of sad to leave. It’s clear that they had a great time at Freddi’s by their smiles and tail wags. I would highly recommend this family if you’re going away for vacation—they are patient, kind, and very caring! 10/10 experience.”
“Jing and her family were amazing with Penelope! They were loving and kind as well as being the right mixture of adventurous and safe. Our girl had lots of outdoor time to explore in a safe environment and got to socialize with other dogs. It was a great fit, and I would highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their fur babies. If Penny could talk it would be akin to a little kid coming home from summer camp! She clearly had a blast! ❤️🐶”
“This is my second time using Paul and Megan for boarding for my dog. They were very attentive to my dog's needs and she seemed to have a great time there. I would definitely book again without hesitation.”
“Mirellys was AMAZING!! Super sweet and so loving with my pup. Sent me so many updates and photos to help me feel more comfortable. Will use her over and over again if I can. So grateful for all of your help you truly are amazing! Tysm!!”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“Gienna was great with our dog Murphy. She had excellent communication (lots of notes and photos) during his stay with her and she clearly has a lot of valuable experience taking care of dogs and making sure they adjust into the new space.”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”

“We used Lauren during the end of year holidays to look after our two cats. She did a wonderful job (even coming over on Christmas Day!). This is the second time I’ve used Lauren and she is reliable, responsive, and does an overall great job. She sends pictures and notes each day so I can see the kitties while I’m gone.”
“Tawny provided great care to our senior cat, Katniss, while we were away! She was punctual and communication was always super easy. She even helped to bring in mail and water our house plants. But most importantly, Katniss seemed to really love her and we knew she appreciated the visits very much!”
“Maria has watched our cats on two occasions now and has done a great job each time! Hard to find with others- but she even cleans the area/litter around the litter boxes and just does a great job with everything -from actually swapping out to clean fresh bowls at each feeding. Cleanliness, and friendliness goes a long way! We are so grateful we found her. Not an easy task with 5 cats! I would recommend her to care for your animals, too.”
“Leslie is truly exceptional, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Our cat, Lucy, usually lets us know how unhappy she is about being left alone (lots of demanding meows and yelling, especially when we go into the office), but when we got home after Leslie's care, Lucy was totally relaxed and quiet. It was clear she was happy and well-cared for the entire time! Leslie sent regular, detailed updates with great photos showing Lucy happy and engaged. She followed all the instructions perfectly and gave Lucy tons of love and playtime. Knowing Lucy was so stress-free while we were away is the best peace of mind. Leslie is our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Jodi is great with my dog Mia. Did a check in visit this evening to take her out and feed her dinner. Jodi trays Mia like her own pet and gives updated throughout the visit!”
“Rylee was very communicative. She sent photos of every visit with our cat. She also went above and beyond by doing things like bringing in packages and moving our garbage barrel after trash pickup days.”
“Anna was great! She took care of our cat Charlotte over the holidays and sent pictures every visit. This was our first time using a pet sitting service, and we will definitely book with Rover and Anna again!”
“Sarah took the best care of my two cats, Tango and Mango!! They are rambunctious orange tabbies with big personalities and I am always hesitant about using someone unfamiliar to them. Sarah stopped over for a meet and greet before and they both took a liking to her. She visited every other day for a little over a week. She did an excellent job feeding them, changing their litter, and spending time playing with them. Sarah provided updates and pictures after each visit, which was much appreciated. She stayed in communication with me and made me feel at ease. The cats really liked her! I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Julia is the best cat mom ever! She made friend with my kitty in no time and has been so considerate and responsive all the way through. I am grateful beyond measure that my kitty can spend the summer with her.”
“Candi did an amazing job cat sitting our 18 year old kitty! He needed medication administered and to be fed for 5 days while we were away. We were understandably nervous to leave due to his age, but we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands with Candi! She was reliable and easy to communicate with, sending updates each day. We had used her to walk our dog in the past and were very happy with her service, 10/10 recommend for dog or cat!”
About: I have experience caring for cats through various house-sitting jobs, as well as growing up with a couple of my own. I really enjoy their personalities—they’re independent, a little sassy, and tend to do their own thing, but still appreciate attention on their terms. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
“Michael provided excellent care for our two cats. He was consistent with twice daily drop-ins while we were away on a week- long trip. He gave updates with adorable pics of our babies after each visit and even spent some time playing with them! It gave us peace of mind, knowing our kitties were in good hands while we were away! We highly recommend him!”
“Lauren took amazing care of my nervous cat while I was away, even got her to come out to play. She was also very communicative and responsive, and was accommodating when I made a scheduling mistake and needed to add extra visits. I highly recommend booking with Lauren to care for your cat(s)!”
“Vanessa was lovely! Very communicative and friendly. This is our first time having someone stay at the house instead of dropins and I'm very glad we found her for a longer trip we have coming up. The house is as we left it and our cat is in good spirits. Thank you again!”
“Judith took great care of our 2 cats for 2 weeks while we were away. She sent us occasional picture for updates and communicated well. We would happily have her care for our cats again in the future!”
About: I have 5 years of experience with caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits.

I work full-time (M-F) so I would be available to assist in tasks after 5pm during those particular days.

“Our dog Beebo had an amazing time at Jodi’s. She enjoyed running in her vast fenced backyard and playing with the other dogs of the house. Jodi is friendly, reliable and communicative. We won’t hesitate booking her again in the future.”
“Bunny loves visiting with her daycare friends at Michelle’s. Michelle is great at managing everyone’s needs and having a great group of dogs. She keeps me in the loop and I love the photos and videos. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I love being surrounded by animals and have been around pets my entire life. For a long time now, I’ve been rescuing lost dogs and helping them find safe, loving homes. Currently, I have three dogs and a cat at my country house, as well as a 10-year-old senior dog at home. One of my dogs in the countryside is partially blind, and I'm the one who takes care of his special needs. This has given me great hands-on experience with senior and special-needs pet care. Spanish is my native language, and my home is fully bilingual! My kids are completely fluent in English and are always here to help with communication for all booking details and updates. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I am at home all day. My daily life revolves around taking care of my dog, maintaining our home, and waiting for my husband and children to return from work and school. Currently, my daughter is starting college this August, so I am looking for extra income to help pay for her tuition. This work is a perfect match for me because it naturally aligns with my everyday schedule, allowing me to give visiting pets full-time attention, love, and constant companionship. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I spend my entire day at home, your pet will have constant presence and attention, a safe outdoor space, quiet walks and specialized care experience.
About: I have always had cats & dogs and cared for them growing up. I have a beautiful goldendoodle named Mugsy and a pretty kitty named Willow, I consider them part of my family. I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to care for your pups and kitties. Your babies are in good hands with me, I send alot of pics and updates while your pet is with me and will treat them as if they were my very own 💙 I have a big yard and a huge deck. I also live right up the street from some of the Ipswich River trails, also Danvers dog park is just a couple minutes away. I am also flexible to do drop ins, walks and sittings. I have a full size crate if needed as well. I will not take on a job that I can't provide 100% to!
“This was my first time on Rover and my yellow lab Gus had a great time with Rebeca and her family! She provided photo updates and was very friendly. They live on a nice neighborhood and have a great home for dogs to feel at home and play!! Thank you again. We will definitely be booking again with Rebeca”
“Josie loved her day with Michael and we loved the pictures and how happy she was when we picked her up; we have already rebooked for a longer stay when we are going to be away! Thank you!!”
“Amanda was amazing! Keiko ran right to her when we arrived. She sent me text updates and photos throughout the day. She went out of her way to make him feel as comfortable as possible, even setting up a little perch at the window just like he has at home. We highly recommend Amanda. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank so much Amanda!”
“Jade watched my two pups with very different needs (one is small, 15 years old; the other is 1.5 yo husky mix) for the day as we were going through town on a road trip. We needed somewhere for the pups to be while we did a non-dog friendly day. Jade was super responsive and accommodating. The dogs happily walked off with her without any hesitation (I trust them to read the situation). She asked good questions about their care, entertained the pup during the day by introducing her to a doggy walking pad inside since it was extremely hot out. She also quickly and easily accommodated an earlier pick up when we finished up early. While we aren’t local to use her again, I would do it if the need arises. Much better than a kennel! Pups were happy when we picked up.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our Finn for the day and making him feel comfortable at your home. He seemed to really enjoy the experience and being around another Wheaten. Thanks for sending photos and also spending time at pickup to share about his day. Good luck at school!”
“Ana Maria did a great job caring for my dog. She gave her extra attention, as my pup was having separation anxiety following a recent move. Ana has a calm nurturing way about her, and it's apparent she loves dogs. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Natasha was a great sitter for Cujo! She was very responsive, flexible with our timing, and showed a lot of care for our pup. She sent video and picture updates and gave him a lot of play time outside! Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a caring sitter.”
“Natali is AMAZING ! I messaged her last minute and she replied asap , she sent pictures throughout the day updating me on my pet . She showed kindness to my pet as if mine was her own . I will definitely recommend her to any and everyone !!!!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a while and have cared for many different kinds of dogs with a wide range of needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including safely distributing and administering different types of medications as part of their daily routines. I’m also working toward becoming a nurse, which reflects how much I genuinely love caring for others, both people and pets. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive, and I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every dog I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very open and flexible schedule during my days. I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on busier days, I’m able to provide care before and after my errands and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. I am mostly always home working on my online class so there’s usually not a long duration of time I would be gone on errands. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas, and maintain a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with close supervision, plenty of attention, and a comfortable area to rest and play. I’m careful about monitoring behavior, limiting exposure to hazards, and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or health needs. I also believe communication is extremely crucial, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and confident that their pets are well cared for.
“Lorraine and her family are awesome! She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my pup’s stay and I felt he was in a very safe and happy environment. We will definitely be working with Lorraine again!”
“Carol is just great. My little Nico was very happy with Carol -- he went right in with her and he is usually very apprehensive. She has a great home and a very expansive yard that is just wonderful for dogs. Carol's temperament is wonderful and I think Nico sensed that! Carol is warm and welcoming. She took very good care of Nico and I highly recommend her and trust her with my most precious creature!”
“Michael has been super responsive and caring with our dog Casper! This is our second time requesting his services and he’s always kept us updated with texts and pictures. Our dog also seems happy and well exercised whenever he’s been with Michael. Would definitely recommend him!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, exc. I am a caring and loving mom to my 9 year old dog and my son. I will care for your pet as if it's my own. If anyone is interested to have their animals watches on weekends while they are away or during weekdays while at work or on vacation. I am around to keep your loved one company. I have a fenced in yard to let them out as much as they need. I have a fenced in yard for your pet to play in nice weather and home to spend time with your loved one. I am able to watch on weekdays and weekends. I will monitor, feed, play, walk with your pet and attend to as needed. They will be on great hands. I do have a 9 year old dog who sleeps all day. He is vaccinated and very friendly.
About: “I stand out for my patience and dedication. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, from puppies that need training to older pets that require special attention. I always prioritize the safety, well-being and happiness of each animal, adapting to their individual needs. I also have experience taking care of the elderly. " "Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I dedicate specific time for walks, feeding, games and supervision, making sure that each pet receives constant attention, exercise and affection, without affecting my other responsibilities." "When I take care of pets in my home, I create a safe, clean and comfortable environment, making sure they have fresh water, food, exercise and daily playtime.

About: Hello, I have loved dogs all my life. I have 6 years pet sitting and dog walking experience. I have a large fenced in yard for your pups to play and I will provide love and daily walks. Your dog becomes part of my family while theirs is away. I am a stay at home mom. So your pup will not be left alone. Your dogs safety is my top priority. I will provide you with lots of pictures and videos of your pups day. You can reach me on my cell anytime of the day or night. I have one older mixed breed that is excellent with new dogs.

“Elizabeth was extremely professional and reliable. She instantly got along with Orfeu and the had a seamless set of walks together while I was out of town. I am so grateful we found her and would recommend her to anyone needing support with their pups!”
“Candi has been wonderful with my dog, Pepper! She’s done several drop-ins for me and always follows the directions I leave for feeding and care to a T, which gives me peace of mind. Today she also took Pepper out for a walk, and everything went smoothly. Pepper ! I really appreciate her reliability, clear communication, and the care she shows. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a 32-year-old living in a house in Wenham (with a large backyard!) with flexible work hours. I work from home, and I'm a writer so hours are flexible, so I can take your dog for a walk whenever you need me to. I am responsible, kind, and athletic, and would love taking your dog on a long neighborhood walk, a dog park, or another location you'd prefer. I’ve been a Rover sitter for over five years, and have watched all kinds of pups! Young or old, big or small, energetic and outgoing or shy and timid… I’ve watched (and loved) them all! Being a Rover sitter is truly one of my biggest joys. As someone who loves dogs but doesn’t have one yet myself, I will truly treat your pup like my own and make sure he or she has a fantastic time away :) I am a previous pet owner myself -- growing up I had an incredibly energetic golden retriever dog, as well as a cat who lived 15 years. I also used to volunteer at the Ipswich Animal Shelter because I love all animals! I work a 9-to-5 job from home, but my role as a writer means I have limited meetings — so I have a lot of flexibility to take your pup for walks and play with him or her throughout the day. I follow the owner’s advice when it comes to how to make the animal feel safe and comfortable in my home. I ensure I am always aware of where the pup or cat is and watch them so they don’t get themselves into harm’s way, and I follow the animal’s lead when it comes to whether they want to be picked up or pet or whether they want space to explore a bit. I work full-time from home, and as a writer I have a flexible schedule to play and walk your pet throughout the day as well as on weekends. We have a house in Wenham, and I always ensure anything potentially dangerous is off the floor before a pup comes over. I also make sure they have their own space in my house on a dog bed or blanket with toys so they feel safe and welcomed.
About: My entire life I have grown up with pets, dogs cats bunnies guinea pigs lizards birds, you name it we had it! Good pet care to me includes knowing their needs way ahead of time . In my time around animals, I have yet to meet one that doesn’t like me, whether it’s a energetic puppy or a lazy house cat. I’m extremely responsible and trustworthy, in addition to being creative at a moments notice. Taking care of animals means you must be ready for whatever may happen, and patience is a key. These are all qualities I possess! To me, being a people person means you also are a pet person. You and your beloved pets will be happy, healthy and safe with me! I’m currently working part time as a yoga teacher, so I have lots of time to take care of your pet kiddos! Whether it’s a walk around the park, some quality play time at home, or meal support, I am open to it all. Meeting a new animal is all about establishing safety and trust with them first, to show them I am a safe human that’s here to love and care for them too. Once they feel safe, we can get to the fun stuff of play time and walks!
About: I had a dog in my household throughout childhood, and after moving out on my own I got my very own sweet pup! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppy to senior. I am very patient with dogs and understand that each one is unique! I would treat your dog just like my own (and she's VERY loved and spoiled!!) I work full-time remote, so I am at home all day, every day! This gives me the flexibility to care for your dog and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I take my own dog on numerous walks throughout the day and take additional work breaks for some play time. :) I am easily adaptable and can care for your dog however is needed. I am happy to take them for long walks, or cuddle on the couch, amor romp around and play. I am also comfortable crating dogs as needed and can keep them on a consistent feeding schedule if you have one. (My own dog is on a feeding schedule and I know how important routine can be for them!)
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I am committed to providing every pet with the same love, care and attention that I would give my own. I have been working as a pet sitter for 6 years and worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities from bearded dragons and clingy cats to Chihuahuas and Newfoundlands. I also have experience administering medications like insulin, subcutaneous fluids and other medications during my stay. I understand the importance of following routines closely and ensuring that the pets and their parents are comfortable and stress-free. Additionally, I have volunteered at the shelter during college for a couple of months working with animals with different backgrounds and temperaments. As a cat mom of 3 I understand first hand how important it is to find a dependable, compassionate pet sitter you can trust whether it is companionship, a walk or playtime I will provide the best care I can for your animals. Currently I am working towards getting my second degree in nursing but I am still committed to providing reliable and attentive pet care and can work around my schedule whether it is waking up extra early for a morning walk or extra playtime when my school day is over. I can only pet sit at the clients house as I have pets of my own but their routine will still be followed including daily medications. I understand that this is a stressful time for both pet and owner so I focus on providing the best care I can give and will give regular updates for a stress free environment. Please note that I am only comfortable caring for indoor cats. For safety reasons, I do not allow outdoor cats outside while they are under my care and ask that they remain indoors during the duration of my visits or stay.

“Thank you Julia for taking great care of my dog Ronny. We have been with Julia for multiple times and she is always great and easy to work with. And my dog Ronny loves staying with her.”
“Jodi was awesome with our 1 year old pup! During our first time leaving him for a full week, Jodi made us very comfortable by sending plenty of picture, videos, and updates on how he was doing. He came home happy and tired from all the playing with the other dogs! We will definitely be rebooking with Jodi.”
“We left our dog with Michelle for 2 weeks and I felt so confident that she was well taken care of and loved. I am so happy we found Michelle because we will be very comfortable to use her again. She was treated like family and allowed all over the furniture. We got pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend Michelle!”
“Rebeca (and her whole family!) are amazing sitters for our dog, Lucky! We have had Lucky stay with Rebeca for both short and long stays, and to say they take care of her like their own is an understatement! Lucky gets the royal treatment at Rebeca’s, like a member of the family. We are so grateful for the daily pictures, walks, snuggles, and level of care they provide. We would recommend Rebeca as a sitter to anyone!!”
“Finn is the second dog we have boarded with Michael. He is still a puppy. He was very happy at Michael’s and kept all of his good habits that he has learned so far! Great home and family atmosphere, the best.”
“Jade did an amazing job taking care of our golden retriever puppy. Our dog loved it, and couldn’t wait to go back. Communication skills are excellent, and you can rest easy knowing your dog is in great hands”
“Natasha and Jonathan were excellent! This was Bennie’s first stay and I will definitely book again. Bennie quickly bonded to Natasha which made me very happy as I had only left him with someone once before. Their home is very dog-friendly and Natasha sent me regular updates during my trip. Bennie was treated so well with regular walks and snuggles. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby and keeping my mind at ease!”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
“Wendy took amazing care of our 5-month old puppy while we were away for a long weekend! She sent pics and videos and provided periodic updates that made us so comfortable with being away from our pup. 5/5 stars and we’ll definitely be reaching out to Wendy next time we need to be away!”
“Freddi and her boyfriend are such caring dog sitters. It’s obvious that they loves the dogs a lot, often taking them on long walks to tire them out and having them play. They are very attentive and patient, often updating me about the dogs and even offering suggestions on changing their food intake after doing some research. Our dogs were very happy and healthy when we went to pick them up, and even kind of sad to leave. It’s clear that they had a great time at Freddi’s by their smiles and tail wags. I would highly recommend this family if you’re going away for vacation—they are patient, kind, and very caring! 10/10 experience.”
“Mirellys was AMAZING!! Super sweet and so loving with my pup. Sent me so many updates and photos to help me feel more comfortable. Will use her over and over again if I can. So grateful for all of your help you truly are amazing! Tysm!!”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”
“BROOKE is Very kind, fun loving, flexible and a true dog lover. Our family was lucky to find her for the weekend. Our dog didn’t want to leave when we arrived to pick her up. She has an adorable puppy who is full of fun energy!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“My dog is a big old baby requiring plenty of attention and TLC as well as timely walks and medications. He’s an old boy. He loved Liz and her place. Usually he has separation issues. Well he hardly noticed when we left and I’m pretty sure he was a little bit disappointed to come home. Great care for my dog.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased. Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber were so welcoming from our very first meet and greet that we felt Bentley would be in great hands. During our trip we received great photos of Bentley enjoying his time with Kyber, as they quickly became best buds. We look forward to having Bentley visit again with Charlotte, Jordan and Kyber.”
“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”
