“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”

“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”

“My golden had an absolute blast! She was super understanding when there was an issue with my flight. Sent so many photos and videos of him having the best time ever. If I had to trust anyone to watch my boy, I would definitely choose Paola. I never had to worry about his wellbeing once. Thank you guys so much for everything! 🤍🤍”

“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”

“Julie is amazing. She watched my puppers while I was out of the country and she made me feel at ease the entire time. Julie sent me lots of pictures and I knew my puppers was being well cared for. She was accommodating, flexible and kind.”

“Kira and Steve are the best- Winston always has a great time and comes home happy and sleepy! They are true dog lovers and take great care to make sure you always know how your dog is doing. Thank you!”

“Our dogs had a great week long stay with Michael while we travelled abroad. It was comforting knowing the dogs were safe and being watched over at all times, while also being able to play with other dogs and have some autonomy in the space. I’ll absolutely be bringing my dogs back the next time we go away.”

“Briana is great! Felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 small dogs there and won’t hesitate to do it again for our next vacation. Everything went perfectly smoothly and with great communication.”

“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”

“Totally happy with my pet’s stay with Jacqueline! She checked in with me and sent pics with updates. I would recommend Jacqueline over a boarding facility. I could tell my dog had a great time with her and her children ?”

“Lindsey was great. She communicated better than pretty much everyone we contacted on Rover. She is super nice. She was very accommodating and passionate about watching our fur baby. She made this very stressful trip being separated from our boy much easier. She communicated with us and sent photos and video too. I will certainly use her again, if she isn’t booked up solid based on the great job she does.”

“Krista and Henry are wonderful! They have taken care of my boy Barney several times now, and I could not ask for a more reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”

“We feel so comfortable leaving our sweet girl Kai with Sue and her family whenever we have go out of town. She is the most caring person and Kai loves going to her home. We never worry because we know she will be well taken care of.”

“Marcella continues to take great care of our cat, Thunder. She is reliable, showing up on time and at the same time each day. When she cares for him, I am at ease and able to enjoy our time away. Thunder looks forward to her visits and will wait by the door for her. She gives him plenty of love and attention, as evidenced by the photos she shares. Thanks, Marcella! I’m sure Thunder is looking forward to the next time he gets to be taken care of by you 😻”

“Sarah is the best! This was our second time having her stay at our house with our three kitties while we were away for a few days. She is very trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. It's so comforting to be able to travel knowing we don't have to worry about our pets at all.”

“Very accommodating, took my cat for a extra day I needed at short notice. She was well taken care of and halpy. She sent me pictures and updates for how she was doing. I knew I ledt my cat in good care!”


“Great caretaker. Very punctual, arrived within five minutes of the set time every day. Very good knowing our cats are in good hands! Already booked next trip with Samantha.”

“Jacey was amazing! She was always on time, very thorough during the check ins, and so sweet! Our cat Willow loved her and we will definitely be booking with her again :)”


About: I've grown up with cats for as long as I can remember. They have always been a part of my family. I truly love spending time with any kitty, even if they are a little introverted! We all know cats are very independent but that doesn't mean they don't need a little love and attention during small getaways! I can provide services for any feeding schedule or routine you may have. I will send lots of pictures and videos of your cat playing, sun bathing, lounging, and eating/drinking during my visit to ensure proper care and a happy baby!

“Nicole was great and my cat loved her! She kept me up to date with lots of pictures and texts during her visits which was awesome. It made leaving my cat at home a little easier knowing Nicole was checking in on her and giving her lots of love.”

“Liz was great with our cat while we were away. She was very attentive and good about keeping us posted with how he was doing. I loved the photos. Really made us feel like he was well taken care of.”

“Katie did a great job with my very skittish kitties. Katie was patient and kind she took the time to let them come to her on their terms. I will be using her again in the future. Thanks again….”


About: I have extensive experience caring for cats, both currently and in the past. I have three cats of my own right now and previously had two, so I’m very familiar with managing a multi-cat household and understanding how different each cat’s personality can be. I’m used to handling everything from daily feeding routines and litter box maintenance to playtime, grooming, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I know how to read cat behavior well—whether that means giving them space, helping shy cats feel safe, or keeping more social and energetic cats engaged. Having cared for multiple cats over time, I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I’m also comfortable monitoring for any changes in behavior or health and making sure cats stay on their normal routine while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around cats and treat every one as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

“Morgan took great care of our 2 cats, doing drop in visits over a long weekend. Communication was great and she sent pictures each day. I would definitely recommend Morgan to anyone and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future.”


About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments, and I truly consider them part of the family. I also have experience caring for cats who need a little extra attention. In the past, I've administered medication to cats, including one of my own who suffered from allergies and would lick his stomach raw. I worked closely with him by finding creative ways to prevent overgrooming and regularly administering liquid medication with a dropper. Through these experiences, I've learned the patience, consistency, and gentle handling that some cats require. In addition to daily care, I have experience grooming cats, including nail trimming, ear cleaning, and bathing when needed. I've even leash-trained and walked cats on a harness for safe outdoor enrichment. I understand that every cat is unique, and I enjoy taking the time to learn their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels so they can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you're away.

“Julie was absolutely amazing with our cats. They warmed up to her quickly and that was a stress reliever. Julie took very good care of everything, above and beyond! Will definitely book again!”

“Amazing care provided for our 5 1/2 month old baby, Yoshi! Yoshi has so much fun at Paola's house and always comes home exhausted! They send updates all day with photos and videos, I am so happy I found them!!!”


“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)
“Lingwen was awesome! Very responsive. Ready right at drop off and pick up times. So sweet and careful with our little Princess that our puppy felt safe almost immediately after meeting her. Her place is beautiful, with plenty of space for our puppy to explore and play with others. She took great pictures and videos that kept us up to date on how our puppy was doing througout the stay. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”

“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”

“We connected with Bridget for some last-minute day care services. She was very responsive and accommodating. After our initial meet-and-greet, our dog made herself right at home when we dropped her off for her first day at daycare. We felt comfortable and at ease leaving our dog in Bridget's care along with her dogs Mac and Zuzu (who are both very sweet!). She also sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which we very much appreciated. We highly recommend!”

“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

“Alexis was such a kind and patient sitter! She immediately knew how to handle Louis with him being so small and even cleaned up an accident he had indoors! Her dog and Louis got along so well and we would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

“Connor is amazing. I have talked to him twice on emergency situations and both times he has been responsive and very respectful. He was punctual to bring my Frenchie out. He was very communicative to tell me how the day went. I would 100% recommend him and have him take care of my dog too. Thank you, Connor!”

“I have a young hyper lab and I was concerned she would be too much for someone else to walk. However Amelia was the perfect fit! Her calm demeanor impressed me. I was so glad to find her! I highly recommend her”

“Lindsay is super-responsive, responsible, knowledgeable and caring. She took the time to get to know us and our dog. Very happy to have discovered her here on Rover. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have been around animals ever since I was born, and started my first job petsitting in only 6th grade. I have worked with a variety of animals ranging from dogs and cats, to ducks, to chinchillas, to horses! I’ve always felt like I have a strong connection with animals, and see my own animals as children. This is why I want to help others take care of their fur babies knowing that they are in safe kind hands while they are away. It is my number one priority to make sure your animal is happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. Every animal has its own personality, and I’ve loved bonding with so many animals over the years. Animal experience: -dog -cat -horse -goat -chicken -duck -bunny -hamster -Guinea pig -chinchilla -turtle -hermit crab -fish I am college student, and pet sitting is my full time job during the summer. This means I have a very flexible schedule to help accomadate your needs and can do same day bookings. I firmly believe that a consistent routine for an animal is key to keeping them comfortable, especially if you are to leave. I would follow the owners daily routine to help keep your animals calmer. If they are crate trained I can put them in their crate, watch them in the yard, take them on walks, play with them, and cuddle at the end of the day. I strongly believe in the saying “leave it better than you found it”, which I intend to do in your home!
“Tori has been walking our 2 dogs, Apollo & Mia, for a few weeks now. She communicates well & is very accommodating. She takes great care of our pups and I know they enjoy their weekly walks with her. Would definitely recommend Tori for any dog sitting/walking needs!”


About: I decided to try letting a husky pull me on roller blades 27 years ago, and a bond was created that I am convinced was the greatest thing ever. I became an aspiring writer and began researching dogs, playing with them and loving them all the same. I understood that some people just had that dog thing, but I wanted to know why. Still working on my writing, and still researching, I started roller blading around Webster lake with a rescue puppy this past year. I remembered the incredible joys that a dog would have discovering the freedom, and it's really incredible. I don't claim to be a dog whisperer, but I have learned from studying dog behaviors and personalities. Honey has been incredible this season. Some dogs would rather just sniff, and it's arguably the most incredible of dog traits. Sometimes finding the space to run can be a challenge, but even just on a walk, it's all about giving them the chance to choose when you can. I have been an educator as a substitute and a paraprofessional, and enjoyed 20 years with a number of schools and institutions. Coaching tennis, track, and rock climbing, I love giving new experiences. As director for an adventure camp or as recreation games coordinator, I was able to incorporate a team into all the fun. Relying on the service industry for work, I have developed my communication skills in many fields. 3 years working for the May Institute with adults with severe disabilities gained me a humility not found elsewhere. In the Healthcare industry I found incredible individuals who just fit their calling, and you were better for being around them. The last 2 years I have traveled the state as a licensed pest technician solving homeowner problems, and keeping people safe. I enjoyed being a source of information, and health, and was careful to appreciate coming into someone's home and life. I'm currently planning on returning to school to attain my message therapy certification and utilize my background in health. It's a good plan with modification, and I am hopeful that Amazon flexibility will help. I'm the kind of person who starts with a smile, and believes that kindness is always an option. I understand that taking care of your animals and home is a sacred thing, and I will remain transparent and available. I'm currently working for Amazon, Sunday through Wednesday, and have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday completely free for services. Additionally I can be available for any other days with proper notice, due to Amazon's flexibility with their scheduling. Our yard is fenced in, and our two rescue dogs enjoy their space very much playing and running around. Our 16 year old cat enjoys being an inside/outside cat very much, and has adapted to our precocious new additions. Our back door is opened frequently.
“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”


About: I am in the middle of a career shift and have some additional free time on my hands and would love to turn my love of dogs into a little extra cheese... "who said cheese, can I haz some cheese". If you dog is in need of some extra walks, I am your man to keep that pup happy. I will be going to class in the evening, I can come over and walk your pet between 9:30am and 3:30pm. I regularly walk my own dogs over 2 miles everyday I am a loving a trustworthy person who has had or been around pets for over 20 years. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own
“Logan has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Milo! His communication is excellent — he always keeps me updated with messages and photos from their walks, which gives me peace of mind. He’s incredibly responsible and caring, and it’s clear that he truly loves spending time with the dogs he walks. Milo is always excited to see him.”

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse. I have been in the veterinary field for 13 years and have been licensed for 10 years. I have also been pet sitting for just as long if not longer. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own. At times foster cats for a local cat rescue. My passion is caring for animals. I currently work full time as a vet nurse and I pet sit for some of my current clients. Your pets care is my top priority while you’re away. My hope is that we can find something that fits for the both of us. I look forward to meeting you and your pet 😸 I have stayed at clients homes previously watching cats and dogs. I initially try to take the time for the pet to get to know me, once they are comfortable the I’ll take them for walks (unless otherwise told) and play with them. In the past I have slept on the main floor with older pets if they can’t do stairs. I try and make giving medications fun so hiding it in snacks or turning it into a game if I can. I try to make the pets time as stress free as possible while their parents are gone.
About: Hello and thank you so much for your interest in my pet care services! I have over 15 years of professional pet care experience, from dogs, cats and chickens, to fish, birds and even turtles! I have previous experience as a kennel technician and assistant manager of a pet boarding facility offering doggy daycare, overnight boarding and grooming services to both cats and dogs. Most recently, I worked alongside a wonderful team of dog walkers serving surrounding towns of central MA! Working independently allows me to give your pet the time, love and attention they deserve, with no rush, and added treats! :) I also have experience with puppies, medical boarding and/or senior care of both cats and dogs. I am comfortable working with dogs of all shapes, ages and sizes! *Pet first aid and CPR trained and certified! Offering dog walking and pet care services allow me the independence and flexibility to show up 100% for your animal loved ones! I am currently available for morning, midday and evening drop-in visits, or from 10-3pm on weekdays for dog walking! Vacation care for pets in their own home! Here’s how it works: Drop-in visits can also be used as pet sitting/vacation care in your home! Vacation care visits are usually 2x (for cats or other small pets) or 3x (for dogs or a combination of dogs and other pets) on a full day, for daily feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime and love! Visits can be 30 min to an hour depending on number of pets and requirements, and include your day of departure and arrival, so there is no stress about when you leave or come back home! ❤️🐶🐈 *Requests sent over the weekend may not be processed until the following weekday, and I recommend sending your request at least 1 week in advance so we can schedule a meet and greet. Please send requests during the daytime (between 9am and 5pm) so I can get back to you ASAP! :) After working in a pet boarding facility, I greatly appreciate getting to care for animals in their own home. It is much less stressful for the animals, and their pet parents. I have years of experience taking care of animals in their own home, and I value transparency, safety, trust and genuine care for the animals I care for.

About: Hi! I’m a fun, energetic 22-year-old animal lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life and now has a 1-year-old cat who is truly my best friend 🐾 I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities—walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. Being a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s an active pup or a cuddly cat, your pet will get plenty of attention, patience, and care with me Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m already used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins because I care for my own 1-year-old cat every day. I’m home often and plan my schedule to make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship rather than quick drop-ins. Caring for animals is already part of my lifestyle, not something I squeeze in. I ensure that they are always well fed, looked after, and cared for to the best of my abilities. I love making sure that my pets are having fun and are safe.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience in dog obedience and show training. As a lifelong owner of both small and big dogs, I’m committed to providing personalized, safe care! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I already care for my own dogs. Caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Now that I'm home from college for the summer, I have ample free time to dedicate to your dog's well-being. Making sure they get all the love, attention, and care that every dog needs! I care for pets in my home by providing daily grooming, obedience training, and plenty of playtime. I enjoy staying active with pets to ensure they are happy and healthy. Each pet receives personalized attention, whether it's a walk, a training session, or some fun and games.

About: I have been drawn to the world of animals since I was a young girl. I've always been the type of person to move a spider back outside. That's why I'm a perfect fit for you and your fuzzy family! Not only will you receive reliable, trustworthy care for your pets, but you also get the comfort of routine, consistency and dependability. I have 4 years of experience working with dog and cats of any size and kind. It is truly my passion as animals have guided me to becoming who I am today. If you're looking for help with a strict medication schedule, potty breaks, dietary restrictions, allergens then I'm your gal! I am very thorough with any care I provide through communication and observing any odd/new behaviors. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in's and group hiking activities. I am currently working towards becoming a professional dog trainer and obtaining my Pet CPR certification. I believe having a strong relationship with the pets I care for is incredibly important. I am currently working part-time. I am going to school for my Professional Dog Training certificate. My goal is to eventually use word of mouth and networking skills to be able to care for animals full-time until my classes are done. I have 2 cats and a dog as well as 2 young boys. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. Shes very outgoing, bubbly and has the best friendly personality. I can bring her with me for socialization, or if you have a solo preferred pup she can stay home! We are very active, always going on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.

“Phenomenal care! Amber is a wonderful sitter, very caring, kind, empathetic and truly loves dogs. My Dante got a lot of love and attention. Amber communicated well, plenty of updates, pictures and videos. Best care for your furry kiddo! Highly recommend Amber as your sitter.”

“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time. Gabe was an excellent choice and probably the most knowledgeable in training that we have had so far! He was communicative, responsible, and made us feel completely confident while we were gone! Definitely will be giving him a call again for our trips.”

“My golden had an absolute blast! She was super understanding when there was an issue with my flight. Sent so many photos and videos of him having the best time ever. If I had to trust anyone to watch my boy, I would definitely choose Paola. I never had to worry about his wellbeing once. Thank you guys so much for everything! 🤍🤍”

“We boarded our dog for the second time for over a week with Vignesh and are extremely satisfied with his care and updates. He’s also very accommodating with our dates and pick up and drop off times.”

“Julie is amazing. She watched my puppers while I was out of the country and she made me feel at ease the entire time. Julie sent me lots of pictures and I knew my puppers was being well cared for. She was accommodating, flexible and kind.”

“Kira and Steve are the best- Winston always has a great time and comes home happy and sleepy! They are true dog lovers and take great care to make sure you always know how your dog is doing. Thank you!”

“Our dogs had a great week long stay with Michael while we travelled abroad. It was comforting knowing the dogs were safe and being watched over at all times, while also being able to play with other dogs and have some autonomy in the space. I’ll absolutely be bringing my dogs back the next time we go away.”

“Briana is great! Felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 small dogs there and won’t hesitate to do it again for our next vacation. Everything went perfectly smoothly and with great communication.”

“Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!”

“Lindsey was great. She communicated better than pretty much everyone we contacted on Rover. She is super nice. She was very accommodating and passionate about watching our fur baby. She made this very stressful trip being separated from our boy much easier. She communicated with us and sent photos and video too. I will certainly use her again, if she isn’t booked up solid based on the great job she does.”

“Krista and Henry are wonderful! They have taken care of my boy Barney several times now, and I could not ask for a more reliable and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”

“I couldn’t have imagined a better first experience with in-house boarding. They were incredibly understanding of my dog’s needs, and Masha loved them from the very first meeting! They even went the extra mile to ensure she was eating well and gave her treats, which I truly appreciated. I would recommend them hands down to anyone—it was such a relief to know she was in such great hands.”

“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”

“Liz was extremely helpful with our somewhat last minute booking. She was great with our dog and sent updates with photos while we were away. Would definitely recommend and would be happy to have her watch our dog in the future.”
“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
