“Heather was amazing with our dog! She gave her lots of love, walks, and play time, and also gave our dog her meds on schedule. We received daily updates and photos as well. Definitely recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”
“When we found out we were going to go out of town, Kyla and her family were the first ones we thought of to take care of Ethel. She seemed to remember her last stay there and felt comfortable fitting in immediately. Kyla and family treated Ethel like family. She sent daily updates and answered my questions about Ethel whenever I reached out right away. Definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“They were absolutely amazing and so quick to respond whenever we had a question. Thank you so much for watching our little guy! Would highly recommend ⭐️”
“Marcia and her husband were wonderful with my golden retriever Theo. I got lots of updates and he got lots of cuddles, walks, and playtime. He came home happy and tired - thank you!!”
“Jenna and Micheal took great care of Shep! We loved all the videos and photos they sent over the long weekend - it was so great that Shep had a friend to play with all weekend, he was super tired when we picked him up”
“We’re so glad Sarah and Ben were able to care of Blu at the last minute for a few days. Thank you both for taking such great care of him knowing how anxious he gets in a new place. They’re very patient and made him feel right at home. Sarah kept me posted with updates and photos too. We know Blu had fun!”
“Wonderful first experience leaving our puppy in someone else's care. She was kept active and well attended to, and I loved getting regular updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Julie was absolutely incredible with our dogs this weekend. From the moment she arrived, her kindness and warmth were so genuine, and our pups took to her right away. She went above and beyond in every way, thoughtful updates, tons of photos, and little details that made us feel completely at ease while we were away and missing our babies. Our dogs are older and require daily medication, and she handled everything with such care and confidence. They were so spoiled the entire time, always on soft blankets, always comfortable, and clearly so happy to be with her. It was obvious they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Julie is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us. We can’t wait to have her watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you, Julie, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pups!! ♥️♥️”
“John and Sharon were very accommodating and Darby was in "zen mode" when I picked him up. He was well cared for and they were wonderful to work with. Thank you!”
“Bethany was absolutely fantastic. This was Trip's first time alone with a Rover sitter and Bethany did everything possible to make him feel at home. Bethany provided daily updates and tons of pictures. We are so very thankful.”
“Casey, Phil and their dog Chloe were absolutely fantastic with Penny, our 6 month old golden retriever puppy, for a week long stay. They sent us daily pictures and updates about how Penny was doing which really took the stress out of leaving her for the first time. They were patient at our meet and greet ahead of her stay and made sure to answer any and all of our questions. Would highly recommend them and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
“Kira was a great sitter. This was Loki's first ever long stay and second time with Kira after a test run. They took wonderful care of him. Loki had a great time, he seemed happy and enjoying the company of Kira's family and other dogs. We were happy to see him in good health :-)”
“Such amazing care and communication!! I actually think our dog was a bit sad to come home after the time he had with Jasmin and Eric! They are awesome and we definitely hope to work with them again!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Denise was very caring and engaged with my senior lab mix. I especially liked that she works remotely, only cares for one dog at a time and has a fenced in yard. Denise will be my “go to” sitter for future needs.”
“Our dog had a great time with Emilee and her family. Emilee was very attentive to our boy's specific needs. Emilee was very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates and photos during his visit. We look forward to using Emilee for pet sitting services in the future!”
“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”
“Our dog Baily had such a great time with Maeve that we didn’t think he would want to leave. Maeve is very conscientious to each individual dog’s needs (she takes great note!). I would highly recommend anyone to have their dog stay with Maeve. She’s great”

“Alexis is a very dependable and caring sitter for our cat Charlie. We really appreciate her effort to play with, feed and spend her time with Charlie when we are away.”
“Kiley did an amazing job taking care of our 3 guinea pigs. We got daily updates, the cutest pictures, and our piggies were very comfortable with her. Everything looked great when we came back home!”
“I just moved to the area and was looking for a new Catsitter and am so glad I found Katie! She provided timely and informative updates and pictures and was communicative and responsive at any point during the booking. Thank you Katie!”
About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been taking care of and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 2 small parrots of our own. We live in a house with our own private fenced in dog park in the back. My wife is always home as she works from home and I work overnight so your pet will never be alone. We love to care for all dogs or other animals! We have 2 young children so your dog must be good around kids as well. If you have any questions please message me. Unfortunately at the time we are not accepting any large breeds (dogs that stand really tall on 4 legs) unless they are a small puppy and are 35-40lbs or less. We also do not take dogs that mark all over the house, one accident is expected when nervous in a new environment and we understand. We do charge extra $20 if you run out of food or we need to feed your dog our own food because dog food is costly these days. We also will charge a $200 cleaning fee for dogs who do mark all over the house because as stated we do not take dogs that do this. We are am extremely flexible with pet schedules, as of right now we bring our own dogs out every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and playtime outdoors. We visit a local dog park and we also have a yard. We have our own yard and we will be outside with your dog on leash, never left unsupervised, safety for everyone is important to us. We will always be very transparent with you.
“Cheryl took great care of my two cats while I was on a two week vacation. She handled food, water, treats, litter, and play just right. From the meet and greet, I could tell she has a sweet and gentle touch and really understands how to relate to cats. Her thorough updates including photos kept me confident that they were in good hands.”
“USophia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. We had her scheduled for three drop-in visits each day, and she was always on time and often stayed even longer than expected to spend extra time with our dog, which meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire weekend. She sent us lots of photos and updates at every visit, so we were able to see how our dog was doing and felt completely at ease while we were away. Sophia was incredibly kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Sophia with our dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Jessica did a great job watching out cat got 11 days! She was flexible when we added on two days last minute. She was professional and did an amazing job! Highly recommend her!”
“Our travel schedule went a little haywire during this booking and Stephanie smoothly accomodated, taking a lot of stress out of the situation. Again, the pet care was outstanding. Would highly recommend Stephanie!”
“We would absolutely book Hailey again. She was on time, reliable, detailed, and easy to work with. Our cats loved her and were extremely thankful for her being able to give them some attention while we were away.”
“Wendy was amazing! I was nervous about leaving my little guy when going away on a long trip. She took such great care of him and sent me photos and videos which I looked forward to every day and made me feel more at ease. She is top notch and I would refer her to anyone who needs their pet cared for while they are away.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a little girl, whether they were my own pets or the pets of neighbors, friends, or the dogs at my daycare job. People know they can rely on me especially when it comes to their pets, because I know that to most people, their dog or cat is seen as an important member of the family and they should be treated as such. I am very capable of this as well as seeing to your animal’s needs, including but not limited to: playing, exercising, grooming, bathing, feeding, training, and petting. At the moment, I am working at a doggy daycare and learning to train dogs. I have available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays but I will become more available soon. I will play with your pet and create a safe way for them to play. I will make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and safe. I will respect your property and privacy and make sure I follow your instructions to the T.
“I cannot say enough good things about Emily! She was incredibly accommodating for a last minute request and is an absolute sweetheart. I will definitely be using Emily in the future and recommend you do too- your pets will be in the best hands :)”
About: I had two cats of my own, Sammy and Nixon, both of whom lived to almost 20. One was social and outgoing, the other needed time and patience before he’d come around. That experience taught me a lot about reading cat personalities and meeting them where they are. I know some cats want attention the moment you walk in, and others need you to earn it. I’m comfortable with both and happy to care for your cat in your home or mine.
About: I have two dogs that I was had since I was a little girl. I have grown up learning how to take care of dogs. I love animals and caring for them! I am currently on summer break from school so I have a lot of free time to focus on animals! I keep a light schedule so I can focus on the cares and needs of each animal! I care for my pets by giving them the attention they need! For some people it can be easy to over look a dogs attitude and dismiss their feelings but I try to understand how the animal is feeling and help them with their needs!

“Fantastic experience with Megan. Felt completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Lots of communication and sweet pictures throughout the stay. Teddy was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. 100% recommend!”
“Our sweet deaf pup stayed with Annmarie for the day and she couldn't have been safer and happier. This was our first Rover experience, so there was a bit of anxiety dropping our puppy off at a stranger's house. However, Annmarie made us feel welcome through her ongoing communication before, during, and after the visit, and I felt a sense of relief knowing that our special needs dog was well cared for. I highly recommend this host for your doggy day care needs.”
“Christopher, Ali, their kids, and their pups were great. They kept me updated throughout the day. They shared videos, photos, and updates throughout my puppy’s stay. I was super nervous but they made the experience great.”
“Winston usually barks at new people he meets, but barely barked when he first met Misael and then was obviously very comfortable with him quickly. I received several photos and updates on what they were doing and Winston was exhausted and happy when we picked him up. Planning on booking another stay in the future!”
“Shelley was absolutely phenomenal. As close to having him at home as possible - in fact, he almost didn’t want to come home. Shelley was ON POINT with all of our pups special needs and meds. She was attentive and kind. Took him out as often as he needed and on walks (short because of the heat of course). I plan to continue working w Shelley as a repeat. Luca is looking forward to spending time with his Aunt Shelley. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her and am so grateful for all the TLC she showed out little guy. ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.
“Angelisa is very nice and diligent. She takes good care of my Labrador puppy. He is always very happy and when I pick him up. She handles him well and her kids seem to be very sweet with him. Will definitely use again.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for an Akita mix and a Maine Coon cat who both lived exceptionally long, happy lives—thanks to the wholesome, low‑stress lifestyle they enjoyed on the farm. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for every animal in my care. Since losing my own pets, I’ve truly missed the companionship and joy they brought to my daily routine. Pet sitting gives me the chance to reconnect with that love while offering dependable, thoughtful care to your pet. Whether they need exercise, affection, structure, or simply someone patient and attentive, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and well‑loved while you’re away. 🌟What to Expect When You Book With Me 🌟As a stay‑at‑home mom to a 9‑month‑old, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone, and I maintain a calm, predictable routine that helps animals feel secure and comfortable. 🌟Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful attention to their individual needs. I’m home the majority of the time (and when I’m not home, dogs come with me) which allows me to closely follow feeding schedules, outdoor routines, activity play, and any special instructions you provide. 🌟Pets in my care enjoy a balanced, enriching routine that keeps them active, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. Each day includes plenty of outdoor time, whether that’s a peaceful walk around the property, a short hike on nearby trails, or a visit to one of the local parks for fresh air and new sights. Throughout the day, I maintain a steady rhythm of play, rest, and companionship. Because I’m home full‑time, your pet receives consistent attention and engagement, with activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether they thrive on adventure or prefer gentle outings and quiet time, I make sure their day feels fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable. 🌟Care in My Home I live on a quiet farm property at the end of a dead‑end road. This means no through‑traffic, no noise disruptions, and a peaceful setting that helps pets settle in easily. The property has spacious front and back yard areas for supervised outdoor time, and the living space itself is clean, organized, and free of hazards. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet receives steady attention, consistent monitoring, and a predictable routine that supports their comfort and safety. 🌟Care in Your Home When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining the routines and expectations they already know. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and stay attentive to details like feeding schedules, gates, doors, and any special safety considerations you share. This helps your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. Across all services, I value trust, communication, and reliability. You can expect thoughtful decision‑making, clear updates, and a steady, caring presence dedicated to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and understood.
About: Working at a lively doggy daycare, I care for up to 15 dogs at once, so nothing surprises me! Big, small, shy, or mischievous, I know how to keep dogs safe while having a blast! Your pup will get plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles, plus photo updates so you can see them in real time :) I work at a doggy daycare, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I currently work part time at my doggy daycare, so I have plenty of time on the side to care for your pets! In my home, pets have plenty of space, toys, and attention. I always supervise and will separate my cats if needed to keep everyone safe. For in client home visits, I follow your instructions, provide food, water, and cuddles, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and secure. I also don’t mind helping out with bringing in the mail, and or cleaning up a bit!
“Emily was very pleasant to interact with. She has a nice inviting home with a big well groomed yard. Our Chi - Mix Mookie loved running around in the yard. Emily treated Mook like one of her own. Allowing him to watch over the yard for her like Chihuahuas love to do. We will definitely reach out to her again when we're traveling in the area.”
“Bethany is great with Odie. Odie enjoyed his day with her very much. He was a little nervous at first but he was quickly warmed up as he received many pats and attention. Bethany is so great with Odie giving him the attention he craves. I highly recommend Bethany. She is absolutely wonderful and Odie is going back for a second visit in a couple of weeks.”
“Andrew is great and very responsive. Whiskey had a good time and he’s surely been in great hands. Would definitely ask Andrew to watch Whiskey again! Thank you Andrew for taking care!!”
“Enid was great! Sent me lots of pics and kept me updated and made me feel comfortable! She has a fenced in backyard and Kuna came back happy and healthy! She was very accommodating when I got stuck in traffic on the way back and I really appreciated that!!”
“Lyndsey and Evan were amazing! We got multiple photo update throughout the day. They even took Oscar for a 3 mile walk, and their dog Rosie kept him entertained all day long.”
About: My partner and I have been caring for animals from bunnies to horses for our entire lives. Friends and family have relied and continue to rely on us to walk, feed, and board their pets. We do this because we love the companionship pups! Pets will be carefully looked after by my partner and I. They’ll be preoccupied daily with loads of activities! Parents are welcome to pictures/videos while they’re away. Your pets will have access to food/water, furniture, toys, undivided attention and unconditional love! Our dogs start the day by zooming and playing in our fully fenced in yard. Throughout the day we practice commands and do various activities. Here, we love dog puzzles and mentally and physically stimulating activities! Our house is pet friendly with plenty of space to play inside or out, depending on the weather. We also have pets of our own, who are very high energy and playful! We prefer gradual introductions to keep everyone calm and safe so your dogs will not meet ours during initial meet and greets. They’ll likely only meet ours if they stay multiple times or for more than 3 days. Entering a new environment or being cared for by someone new can be stressful for pets so we pay close attention to how each pet responds and acts and make sure to cater according to their individual needs, giving them space or activities as needed. Your pet will be loved, safe, and well cared for while they are here!
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Being the first time I have ever left a dog (child) with anyone, I was pretty apprehensive. Vanessa made the process easier than can be, was warm, updated us throughout the day, and was an absolute pleasure. Would 100% use again anytime our little one needs a sitter. A+”

“Rachel is so sweet and attentive to our 8 month old golden retriever! she communicates great and is so loving to our girl. pennie already loves her even after only 2 meetings!”
About: I’ve been walking my family’s dogs for almost a decade now - a high energy Brittany spaniel & a very large husky/shepherd mix. 7 years ago I rescued a German shepherd/pit bull mix (Layla) who I’ve trained extensively and take on daily adventures. Then, a year ago I rescued Dixon (a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix) and he’s been reactive to humans & dogs alike. I’ve completed extensive training in classes with him alongside professionals. I’ve taken that experience and can apply many basic training concepts to dogs of all sizes/ages. I’m currently available throughout the work week at any time (as an educator on summer break). As of September 1st, I will be available from 2pm into the early evening. Book early to save a spot right at 2! I know a wide variety of trails/walking spots in the local area, so your pup will always be enriched & happy! I make sure to carry some kind of dog deterrent (PetSafe SprayShield or Pet Corrector) in case of emergency, and try to engage in positive reinforcement training throughout walks. This looks like rewarding the dog(s) with treats when they check in with me, stay in a heel, or keep loose tension on the leash. Within your home, I’ll always change/refill the water for the dog(s) after the walk.
“Kiley did a fantastic job with both of our dogs, even on her first visit. She arrived on time and quickly bonded with them. They had a long, enjoyable walk and returned home happy and well-exercised. When they encountered a neighbor's dog, Kiley wisely picked up our little one to prevent any potential issues. We highly recommend her!”
About: Having grown up with over 15 different breeds of animals, pet care is truly second nature to me. This background has given me a deep understanding of animal behaviors, needs, and personalities. From energetic pups to more reserved or independent pets, I’m able to connect with each animal and adapt to what makes them feel comfortable and secure. Animals have been an integral part of my life, and my care approach reflects a lifelong passion and respect for them. With me, your pet receives the kind of attentive, personalized care only a true animal lover can provide! Working remotely gives me the flexibility to provide dedicated, consistent care for your pet throughout the day. I’m able to check in frequently, give them attention when they need it, and keep their routines as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s scheduled feedings, playtime, or just being there for companionship, my work setup allows me to be fully present for your pet’s needs and maintain a calm, reliable environment for them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual environment and routines to reduce stress. I take great care to follow your instructions closely, ensuring your pet feels secure, happy, and comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether in my home or yours, I approach pet care with dedication, responsibility, and the commitment to making each pet feel safe and loved.
“Cassandra is a wonderful person and so happy we found her! We have an 18yo dog who’s essentially deaf and blind and last minute Cassandra agreed to help us, not once but twice. She took exceptional care of him and was a pleasure working with.”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or loving care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I'm recently retired and love to stay active. My family and I recently lost our dog after 12 years and are looking to fill the void she left. I will treat your dog like my own and will prioritize their safety and happiness. We have a very large fenced in yard for your furry friend to play in. I am new to in-home pet care but have had pets my entire life. I am very reliable and a strong believer in communication and timeliness. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet! I am recently retired and am looking to fill a void in my life since the passing of my dog Pepper. I look forward to getting to know you and your dog(s) and will give them the same love and care that I've given to all of my past pets. I have a large fenced yard as well as well as a handful of hiking trails near my home. I look forward to making your dog feel comfortable with me and my family.
“Thanks for the awesome service and care to my two big dogs throughout 3 days that I was away. First time leaving my dogs at home verses boarding, and thanks to your communication and commitment it was perfect!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family members, friends, neighbors, etc. have always had pets and have relied on me to take care of them for periods of time.

I don’t have any pets in my home, I live with my fiance who has grown up owning multiple dogs at a time. We have no children in the home either. We live in a townhouse with a front and back yard.

“Megan is extremely responsive, kind, and responsible. I will absolutely be asking for her services again in the future! I highly recommend her. My pup loved her walks! Thank you, Megan!”
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life. Started working at a boarding and training facility and finally decided to branch out on my own. Between learning to administer meds for my diabetic cat to training my own dog to be daughters emotional support pet, I have quite a bit of knowledge. I look forward to taking care of others four-legged, fluffy friends as if they were my own! I am looking to fill my life with animals, however possible. I can be available at the drop of a hat to help with anyone's pet care needs. I have a tendency to spoil animals...If you let your dog sleep on the furniture then I will fully condone that and be curled up with them! If your cat gets to share your warm glass of milk before bed, then my milk is their milk!
About: I’ve been an animal owner and lover my whole life. I enjoy walking in parks and spending time outside playing tug o war. Inside snuggles are fun too! I currently work full time in home position Wednesday-Saturday evening. I am available for check ins and walks on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesdays from 7a-12pm. I have a friendly, loving cat who loves all the space and windows in my home. No yard, but plenty of parks only .5-1 mile away from home.
About: Works at doggy daycare, which includes boarding and grooming! Also have had 2 dogs, one small, one big! I would pay attention to your dog’s needs and preferences! I currently work part time, but I have enough time to fit in more time to care for your pups! I’m seeking more experience working with dogs and would love to care for any pups I can! I am a very loving and caring to my dog! He’s a sweet American Pitbull Terrier mix. He is very well behaved on the leash and very responsive when giving commands. I like to make sure I have control over the pup to ensure smooth walks and to ensure the safety for me, but most importantly for your pup!

“Heather was amazing with our dog! She gave her lots of love, walks, and play time, and also gave our dog her meds on schedule. We received daily updates and photos as well. Definitely recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Matt and Patty provided for our Golden Retriever during the 10 nights we were out of the country. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We were able to visit their home beforehand, and they have a wonderful setup, including a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for him to play. Throughout our trip, Matt and Patty sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. They took him on daily walks around the neighborhood, gave him lots of attention, and it was very clear that he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What really stood out to us was how they handled a day when he wasn’t feeling well and developed some stomach issues. Matt immediately contacted us, proactively made an appointment with the vet, and made sure we were comfortable with him taking our dog in to be seen. Afterward, Matt and Patty followed the vet’s recommendations closely and even cooked rice and beef for his meals for several days while his stomach recovered. They truly cared for him as if he were their own. When we returned, we came home to a very happy puppy, and we could tell he had been loved and well cared for the entire time. We are so excited to have found Matt and Patty. Finding people you can completely trust with your dog while you’re away is incredibly important, and we feel very fortunate to have found such reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring sitters. We would absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to have them care for our dog again!”
“When we found out we were going to go out of town, Kyla and her family were the first ones we thought of to take care of Ethel. She seemed to remember her last stay there and felt comfortable fitting in immediately. Kyla and family treated Ethel like family. She sent daily updates and answered my questions about Ethel whenever I reached out right away. Definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“They were absolutely amazing and so quick to respond whenever we had a question. Thank you so much for watching our little guy! Would highly recommend ⭐️”
“Marcia and her husband were wonderful with my golden retriever Theo. I got lots of updates and he got lots of cuddles, walks, and playtime. He came home happy and tired - thank you!!”
“Jenna and Micheal took great care of Shep! We loved all the videos and photos they sent over the long weekend - it was so great that Shep had a friend to play with all weekend, he was super tired when we picked him up”
“We’re so glad Sarah and Ben were able to care of Blu at the last minute for a few days. Thank you both for taking such great care of him knowing how anxious he gets in a new place. They’re very patient and made him feel right at home. Sarah kept me posted with updates and photos too. We know Blu had fun!”
“Julie was absolutely incredible with our dogs this weekend. From the moment she arrived, her kindness and warmth were so genuine, and our pups took to her right away. She went above and beyond in every way, thoughtful updates, tons of photos, and little details that made us feel completely at ease while we were away and missing our babies. Our dogs are older and require daily medication, and she handled everything with such care and confidence. They were so spoiled the entire time, always on soft blankets, always comfortable, and clearly so happy to be with her. It was obvious they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Julie is truly exceptional, and we are so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us. We can’t wait to have her watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you, Julie, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pups!! ♥️♥️”
“Bethany was absolutely fantastic. This was Trip's first time alone with a Rover sitter and Bethany did everything possible to make him feel at home. Bethany provided daily updates and tons of pictures. We are so very thankful.”
“Casey, Phil and their dog Chloe were absolutely fantastic with Penny, our 6 month old golden retriever puppy, for a week long stay. They sent us daily pictures and updates about how Penny was doing which really took the stress out of leaving her for the first time. They were patient at our meet and greet ahead of her stay and made sure to answer any and all of our questions. Would highly recommend them and we will absolutely be using them again in the future!”
“Kira was a great sitter. This was Loki's first ever long stay and second time with Kira after a test run. They took wonderful care of him. Loki had a great time, he seemed happy and enjoying the company of Kira's family and other dogs. We were happy to see him in good health :-)”
“Such amazing care and communication!! I actually think our dog was a bit sad to come home after the time he had with Jasmin and Eric! They are awesome and we definitely hope to work with them again!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Denise was very caring and engaged with my senior lab mix. I especially liked that she works remotely, only cares for one dog at a time and has a fenced in yard. Denise will be my “go to” sitter for future needs.”
“Our dog had a great time with Emilee and her family. Emilee was very attentive to our boy's specific needs. Emilee was very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates and photos during his visit. We look forward to using Emilee for pet sitting services in the future!”
“Adonis was with Julie for a 2 week stay and had a blast! He quickly settled into her house and almost immediately took ownership of protecting her from all squirrels and other animals outside the house. He loves to play and Julie was awesome about sending us pictures of his stay with her. She was great with his food and even went the extra mile to feed him alternate food when he was not eating one day. Adonis bonded with Julie and we would love to have him stay with her again!”
“Lora is a wonderful caregiver. She is very kind and conscientious with our dogs. Her home is lovely, welcoming and comfortable. The fenced garden provides lots of good things to sniff. Lora is terrific to work with. We enjoyed the pics of our dogs while we were away. They were so happy at Lora’s!”
