“Crystal was fantastic! We left our small toy poodle Boba with Crystal for the holiday, and it was as if Boba had the time of her life in a puppy holiday summer camp, with so many nature walks and friends to play with. We are so lucky to have found such a beautiful home for Boba when we travel out of town, thank you!!!”
“Estela watched Walter for a whole week and sent me a pic almost daily. Doggy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I will consider using her services again whenever I need dog boarding.”
“Lucia kept us up to date with our dog activities by frequently sending us pictures and we really enjoyed them. From the pictures, we could see that our dog was happy. We will definitely bring our dog to her next time we are going out of town again.”
“Bria was absolutely great! She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I picked my boys up, they were happy, calm, and clean; always a good sign! My dogs are definitely a handful, but Bria handled them with confidence that was really reassuring. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again knowing my boys are in such good hands.”
“Brian and Sheena were so awesome with my lil fur baby! They sent lots of pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s status. This was her first stay with them and we look forward to many more stays with this wonderful duo. Trellis”
“Michele and her family were excellent! Their home was very welcoming and comfortable for my pup Cleo. Michele was experienced and was able to handle all the love and energy my dog could provide. She was also communicative and went above and beyond what was required of her. I'm pretty she even groomed and bathed my dog. Cleo came home happy and clean! I would highly recommend Michele and I look forward to using her services again.”
“Nicole is such a sweet person! Her love for animals by the way she took care of my pooch. She kept me updated and sent tons of really nice pictures. I most definitely will be using her services again!”
“Lola found a home away from home with Jeff in his lovely home in Hyattsville. We received daily updates on her adventures including walks and hikes, even her lounging on chairs and the front porch. Lola shared lots of love with their family, including the family dog Ted. We would be happy to have her spend more weekends or vacation times with Jeff later this year.”
“Asha took great care of our pup Pepper. She sent us updates and pictures before we asked for them and was super easy to communicate. Asha gave lots of love to Pepper while we were away and Pepper came back home happy and clean. Would highly recommend!”
“Valeria was very attentive and gentle as well as detailed. I asked for a few extra things be looked out for and she was on it all. We also had to extend another night last minute and she not only made it worked but was incredibly sweet about it. Definitely recommend!”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I recently started caring for a cat who showed up on my porch. With family coming to town to visit, I felt it best to find care for my cat outside of the house for the weekend. After seeing Tabatha’s reviews, I figured I would give this service a try. I cannot say anything but positive things about Tabatha. She replied to my sitter request right away and met with me virtually to get acquainted. She was so patient with my cat as he adjusted to his new surroundings. She adjusted the environment and provided him what he needed to feel secure. From her regular updates, photos and videos, I could tell she had a lot of skill in caring for fur babies. She even introduced my cat to her cat which I was anxious about because my cat hadn’t interacted well with another cat recently. The cats played and interacted well! Tabatha is amazing! I look forward to using her service again!”
“Marissa was amazing and took the absolute best care of my pup! I can tell that my pup got all the love, attention, and had an absolute blast. Marissa was amazing with switching my pickup dates due to my work changing my schedules last minute. She also bathed, groomed, and trimmed her nails which was a cherry on top of my pups stay! We will definitely be going back so my pup can have the best time ever!”
“Cal and Kelly did a great job with our dog during our 10-day vacation. They sent us lots of photos and our dog always was playing with other dogs and enjoying himself. He was a little snippy with other dogs in the first few days, and they handled it well, ensuring that he got adjusted while keeping all the dogs happy. They are very professional and friendly dog sitters. I highly recommend.”
“Tasha is a great sitter, she cared for my 2 babies while I was out of the country. She keeps me updated every day on how they're doing and she provides multiple photos. My babies love her. Keep up the good work.”
“I believe Simba had a better New Year celebration with Christin, James and friends then I did and I had an awesome New Years! Simba, has found his home-away-from-Home❤️. I will definitely call Christin and James every time I need a sitter!”
“We booked with Pamela while we were in town visiting for America 250. She took great care of Riley and it was comforting to know he would be safe and well taken care of during all the fireworks. He did well and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pamela for anyone who needs a sitter in the DC area.”

“Xan will be my go to for taking care of my senior cat. He loves her and allows her to give him his meds just fine. She spends time with him while she's here, playing, petting, whatever he wants. She's a great pet sitter and I could not recommend her enough”
“What a great first time experience on Rover with Astrid! She was friendly, communicative and thoughtful; her love for animals really showed. Thank you for taking care of our Mellow!”
About: I have a passion for animals, especially dogs I have had experience with pets for a couple of years and will be sure to take care of your fur babies. I can currently care for your cherished pet between 6-11:30 on the weekdays and anytime during weekends as long as you give me a little notice I will give your pups my full undivided attention and all the care they need you can trust they’ll be well taken care of when you leave them with me
“Layla is AWESOME SAUCE!! My kitties are typically "anti-humam other than mommy", but one of my kitties actually made contact with her several times. Layla is very sweet, she's observant, she's thoughtful, she's polite, and she genuinely loves and cares for animals. I'm so happy I was able to find her to look after my babies while I was away. I wasn't worried one bit because I knew she was dropping in on them while I was gone, and she took very good care of them!”
“Alexander did a great job visiting my puppy while I was away. He was timely, gentle and attentive when handling him. I appreciate the updates and extra help with cleaning up after my pup and I trusted that my dog was in great hands. Thanks!”
“TeQuilla is our go to sitter while we are away. She has checked in on the boys (two cats) several times over the past year while we have been out of town. The boys love her and so do we. We wouldn’t want anyone else checking in on the boys.”
About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!
“I had a great experience with Ademide. She agreed to cat-sit on short notice and looked after my Luna for a whole week and some days. Our communication was smooth and reassuring and I received timely updates, cute videos and photos that showed my cat was comfortable and happy. My cat seemed relaxed and well looked after when I returned. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I've loved animals my whole life, back to the days of summer camp at the National Zoo. I've walked many different dogs through watching friends' and neighbors' pets and volunteering at local animal shelters. I'm also a cat lover who has had cats in the house my whole life, and I even have some experience with pet fish! Animals of all sizes and personalities will be well-loved when spending time with me. :) Added bonus: I'm an excellent pet photographer, so I promise I'll get your furry friend's best side! I'm on summer break from school starting June 19, 2026, so I'll be available most days (including daytime, evenings, and weekends) unless I'm traveling! Before then, I'm available evenings and weekends. My priority is making sure your pet is safe and feels safe with me. I will always ensure your animal has food and water, bathroom access, and protection from other animals. I'm happy to accommodate any pet-specific concerns, too -- I have lots of experience with reactive dogs and will discuss your pet's needs before I spend time with them. I'm committed to spending as much time as needed making sure an animal feels comfortable with me.
“Carla did a wonderful job with our cats! One of our cats is a little tricky and senior and she was very calm and patient with him. We got regular updates and had a wonderful time on vacation without any worries”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give! I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience. I have a big yard for good time and to keep them safe! I love being outside, and making sure that the animals are safe while doing so is of the utmost importance to me !
About: I grew up with multiple cats alongside our dogs and i love them just as much! I have experience with medications and even nail clipping, and I’m happy to help out with your kitty however needed!
“Rebeca took great care of our two kitties Ruth and Sonia for over two weeks. We appreciated her thoughtful and deliberate integration of Ruth and Sonia with her cat Olive and the three cats became pals. We also appreciated her regular updates on their welfare, including adorable photos. Thanks, Rebeca!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including administering oral medications. I’m attentive to routines, take pride in keeping litter boxes spotless, and always make sure cats feel safe and comfortable in my care.

“Crystal is so amazing!!! She is patient, thoughtful and caring. My Junior was well taken care and I felt comfortable with leaving him with Crystal. I’ve already booked my next appointment for Junior and I know there will be many more appointments in the future. Crystal is the best!!!”
“Julie took good care of my timid pup Sophie. She sent some pics during the day, and Sophie seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. Julie is also very easy to communicate with - a plus. I'll be using her again to care for Sophie.”
“I'm really grateful that I found Jeremy through Rover so my son and I could go visit Timpanogos cave! Her puppy and my puppy got to play and mine was tired after, which was nice too.”
“Thank you, Kiki, for making Bella feel at home. For my somewhat anxious 9 year old, this was a wonderful treat! Looking forward to day care and boarding with you for our little gal!”
About: I can do anything from walking to giving baths or from filling food and water to providing medicine 🐾 I’m okay with dogs of all ages and sizes from puppies to pitbulls and from the sick to the elderly 🙂 I can work remotely so it fits in quite easily. I live in Greenbelt, MD and my office is in DC (when I do decide to go into work), so really anywhere in the suburbs I’m willing to drive to! Any special instructions will be listened to and I will take great care of your pet(s). Hopefully things work out and you can be a regular-ish client! Please note: i board 3-4 dogs at a time. If you have a larger breed dog and I’m boarding multiple dogs, I might require them to where a bark collar that just buzzes if they get aggressive. Depending on their behavior. It helps with mitigation. I have never had any accidents happen under my watch and would like to keep it that way.
About: I've been a dog lover since childhood and a dog owner for over 10 years. As a kid, I begged for a dog every birthday and Christmas, but never got one. I promised myself that when I was older, I’d get a dog—and that’s exactly what I did! For the past 10 years, I’ve had my own dog, training and caring for him since he was 8 weeks old. Through caring for my dog and others, I’ve learned how important it is to have a reliable, patient, and loving dog-sitter. I also understand the convenience and accessibility Rover provides, as finding the right boarding facility or dog-sitter can often be difficult and expensive. With over 10 years of experience in sitting, walking, and boarding, I offer a loving, dependable service for dogs—big or small, young or old. Rest assured your dog will be in great hands with me! I work full time 8:30- 4:30. I am 100% remote and have a very flexible schedule. I am open to weekday, weekend and overnight care. I have a 10 year old cockapoo with the energy of a 2 year old! He is just as playful as he is chill; just depends on if balls are around to fetch! He is very easy going and gets along well with younger and older dogs. I have 3 story townhome with a fenced backyard. I have mostly wood floors and carpet in bed rooms. I have enough space to for crates, playpens or whatever set up you prefer for your pup.
“This is my first time using this app: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Omoyemisi. From the moment she met my new bundle of joy, her spirit was so warm, loving, and welcoming. My puppy instantly fell in love with her—and honestly, she fell right in love with him too. 🐶💖 She treated him with so much care, patience, and genuine affection, as if he were her own. I felt completely at peace knowing he was in such loving hands. It’s rare to find someone whose energy is so pure and nurturing, and Omoyemisi truly has that gift. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby, someone who will love them wholeheartedly, she is absolutely the one. I’m beyond grateful for her care and kindness. Highly, highly recommend! ✨🐾💞”
“Catie was great with my pup Ruby! Ruby has some extra triggers, and Catie not only was great with making sure Ruby did okay and figuring out what Ruby needed alongside the other dogs in care that day, but also provided frequent updates throughout the day. 5/5!”
“Yosef is FANTASTIC! He took my request (desperate plea) to sit my pup in the final hour and I couldn’t be happier! Batman was mad at ME to leave and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. I know he had a great time with Yosef and Law and we’re both looking forward to his next visit.”
“Murray and Monty had another wonderful day at “Uncle Jeff and Dan’s” house! It’s only been a few times we’ve left them and they already can’t wait to go! It has been an amazing experience finding them, because we know they’re safe, happy and well cared for and we never have to worry. Thanks again for everything.”
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.
“Kuma looked like he had the best time with Irma! I definitely appreciate her taking care of him on short notice for a day trip I had planned. She sent updates of Kuma throughout the day. I would definitely recommend and revisit!”
About: Hello! I've had dogs all my life and worked as part of a rescue group for part of that time. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I can take them for walks, give them lots of attention and if they take any medication, I have experience with that as well. I'm good with any size dog since I've had a lot of different ones from Cocker Spaniels to Irish Wolfhounds. I don't have any "official" recommendations but I have pet sitted for friends of my family a time or two. I'm also good with multiple dogs, having grown up around 6-12 in my house at any given time, along with multiple cats. I would love to be able to pet sit for you! I currently work from home, so I am able to be flexible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members, rain or shine! I can do doggy daycare in my house if your furry friend gets along with mine, but also more than happy to take care of your pets in your home, whether taking them out for a walk, feeding them, or letting them out into the yard.
“Bria was a life-saver! Had to cancel another Rover last minute and Bria came to the rescue. My pup came back to me very happy and very tired and Bria did a great job keeping me informed with pics throughout the stay. Will definitely use her again!”
“We’ve used Marta’s services twice. So far so good! Marta is very nice and my pup seems happy. She took the time to meet with me before his first daycare, which I think helped with a smooth transition.”
About: **IMPORTANT ** Summer schedule active now. This means more couch snuggles and max TLC! Hello there! I’ve been a sitter for the past 6 years. I’ve mostly worked with small-médium sized dogs.

My home is smoke free and safe for your furry friend. If they are more comfortable at home I can come to you also. **IMPORTANT - If you were a previous client of mine and need to book please text me even if you do not see any availability. ** My pet sitting rover schedule will be part time. I am available usually during the weekday evenings and some weekends for extended stays, or walks as needed. I do not work from home and will only be able to give potty breaks 6-8 hrs.

If I’m working from your home I will respect and adhere to your rules for your home.
“Cal and Kelly are great! They sent tons of updates during the day and my pup had a blast! She came home all tired out and we will definitely be going back 😁”
About: I’ve owned two dogs in my lifetime and watched others dogs outside of my own as well. I love the doggies and they love me! I currently work from home so I have a lot of time to watch pets who need the attention while their loved ones are away. I leave in a secure apartment building that offers designated dog areas. My apartment itself is big enough for he/she to walk around and be comfortable.

“Luisa is the absolute BEST! Alpha is not very keen to new people but Alpha LOVES Luisa! She also makes sure he receives her full 30 mins, he eats and drinks plenty of water. She communicates every step of the way. We love Luisa and hope we can continue using her!”
“Alex has been great with my dogs! They pull on leash and can be difficult to walk, but Alex keeps a firm grip on them. He is very reliable and follows directions. Would definitely hire him again!”
About: I have been a lover of all animals for as far back as I can remember and have taken care of them both personally and professionally. I have been employed by zoos and aquariums, worked with tigers, made diets for birds of prey, and assisted Marine Biologists with shark tanks and coral reefs. My training has not just been in educating the public, but in positive reinforcements. Everything from dogs, cats, snakes, hedgehogs, frogs, and so many more have been in my care over the course of my life for one reason or another. I am my friends' go-to for anything they've ever been curious about when it comes to our natural world. And being a dog mom of two myself has been one of the most rewarding privileges I've been able to experience. Pet care for me is 24/7 for my own babies, but I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and some Wednesdays for any and all services. My pupperonies have been crate trained by me, but for the most part free roam. They have designated areas for when the hoomans are out of the house where they are allowed to nap and play with their toys or each other. Both have been socialized and are respectful of the other dog in the home. Both dogs get 3 walks per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening to ensure they are exercised as well as some off leash play in the yard. For clients, I am attentive to each animals’ needs and respectful of owner requests. It is important for me to get to know your fluffybutt as much as possible in order to provide optimal care.
“Layla was awesome. I would use her and Rover again anytime. She got there early, took my dog for a little longer than expected and brought him back safely every time her communication was great. She interfaced with both me and my friend who was watching the dog. She is kind, responsible and communicative. Five stars for Layla!”
About: I've been pet-sitting dogs and cats from a young age, and have cared for my own dog for almost five years now. I've also spent a year working as a veterinary assistant, and have experience creating safe and comfortable environments for all sorts of pets. I would love the opportunity to take care of your dogs, cats, or other small animals! I'm currently studying in college, so my schedule can vary during the week. Right now, my classes typically land around midday, so the mornings and evenings are when I’m best available to help! On most weekends, my availability is flexible towards whatever is needed. When visiting a home, I do my best to maintain order, cleanliness, and comfort while working with a pet. Structure and routine are important, and I'm dedicated to providing animals with the things they need in a timely fashion that minimizes stress. I make sure that any schedule we have, whether that be a walk, a visit, or playtime, is done at the pet's pace and prioritizes their enjoyment.
“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 13-year-old companion, Angel. She’s a wonderful example of how older pets can still be energetic and joyful with the right care and attention. I understand the unique needs of senior animals, such as gentle exercise, medication management, and extra patience. Additionally, I’m skilled at adapting activities to suit each pet’s age and personality, whether it’s training puppies or providing comfort to older pets. My compassionate approach ensures every pet feels safe, loved, and engaged, no matter their stage of life. I work part time so i’m just down to do this whenever I am free . THE MORE BABIES THE BETTER , I have a semi flexible schedule I have a fenced yard and I can care for your baby almost as well as you can IF YOU LET ME GIMME THE FUR BABIESSSSS
About: I’ve had dogs for over eight years now and I care for them as diligently as I can. I love any and all pets so if hired I’ll care for them as my own I’m currently working part time in the afternoons from 3-6 along with play rehearsals on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s (I’m not called every day) but during the day I’m free for sitting, walking, and playing. I’m good with animals and consider myself a playful but still diligent person. I know how much love and care goes into taking care of a fur baby and follow instructions to the letter so you can rest assured your pet is getting the best care
“Great communication and tons of fun pictures! Our two girls looked like they had so much fun packed into one walkie and playtime! They were also able to help us on relatively short notice. We'll definitely be contacting you guys (and gals) again. Remi and Mae say thank you!”
About: I enjoy spending time with my dog and learning about dogs. I got my first dog 6 years ago and ever since it’s been life-changing I’m currently fully remote and free most weekends so, I’ll be available for the most part. I do live in an apartment so I can’t board or dog sit inside my space. I like to go on walks, runs, spend time teaching commands and go on trails. I like to communicate with the owner before giving out treats to make sure they’re good to have or update them on their potty time in case something is off.

I currently work full-time from home, so have flexibility to offer around-the-clock care to your pet. I take frequent walks throughout the day and can offer sufficient bathroom breaks and enrichment time to meet your pet's specific needs. My approach to pet care is tailored, adapted on a case-by-case basis. I would love to chat with you more about your specific needs, house rules, etc. For animals I am hosting in my own home, they will have access to a separate space to ensure an easy transition and the safety of all pets involved. They will have full access to the home on a supervised basis while I am home and ample access to water, food, etc. as they need.

“Bria was absolutely great! She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I picked my boys up, they were happy, calm, and clean; always a good sign! My dogs are definitely a handful, but Bria handled them with confidence that was really reassuring. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again knowing my boys are in such good hands.”
“Michele and her family were excellent! Their home was very welcoming and comfortable for my pup Cleo. Michele was experienced and was able to handle all the love and energy my dog could provide. She was also communicative and went above and beyond what was required of her. I'm pretty she even groomed and bathed my dog. Cleo came home happy and clean! I would highly recommend Michele and I look forward to using her services again.”
“Asha took great care of our pup Pepper. She sent us updates and pictures before we asked for them and was super easy to communicate. Asha gave lots of love to Pepper while we were away and Pepper came back home happy and clean. Would highly recommend!”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I recently started caring for a cat who showed up on my porch. With family coming to town to visit, I felt it best to find care for my cat outside of the house for the weekend. After seeing Tabatha’s reviews, I figured I would give this service a try. I cannot say anything but positive things about Tabatha. She replied to my sitter request right away and met with me virtually to get acquainted. She was so patient with my cat as he adjusted to his new surroundings. She adjusted the environment and provided him what he needed to feel secure. From her regular updates, photos and videos, I could tell she had a lot of skill in caring for fur babies. She even introduced my cat to her cat which I was anxious about because my cat hadn’t interacted well with another cat recently. The cats played and interacted well! Tabatha is amazing! I look forward to using her service again!”
“Marissa was amazing and took the absolute best care of my pup! I can tell that my pup got all the love, attention, and had an absolute blast. Marissa was amazing with switching my pickup dates due to my work changing my schedules last minute. She also bathed, groomed, and trimmed her nails which was a cherry on top of my pups stay! We will definitely be going back so my pup can have the best time ever!”
“Cal and Kelly did a great job with our dog during our 10-day vacation. They sent us lots of photos and our dog always was playing with other dogs and enjoying himself. He was a little snippy with other dogs in the first few days, and they handled it well, ensuring that he got adjusted while keeping all the dogs happy. They are very professional and friendly dog sitters. I highly recommend.”
“Tasha is a great sitter, she cared for my 2 babies while I was out of the country. She keeps me updated every day on how they're doing and she provides multiple photos. My babies love her. Keep up the good work.”
“I believe Simba had a better New Year celebration with Christin, James and friends then I did and I had an awesome New Years! Simba, has found his home-away-from-Home❤️. I will definitely call Christin and James every time I need a sitter!”
“This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Great experience leaving Oliver with their family. The two of them were conscientious and considerate about understanding Oliver's needs and ensuring that I felt comfortable leaving him in their care while I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Oliver with them again!”
“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”
“Tonya and her family took exceptional care of our Rottweiler, Hero, while we were away on vacation. From the start, they were communicative, attentive, and clearly experienced, which gave us great peace of mind. Hero was happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved during his stay. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which made it easy to relax knowing he was in such good hands. It’s obvious that Tonya and her family treat every pet like part of their own family. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters.”
“I’d definitely book with Christian again. She took great care of my dog. Sent pictures everyday and was very attentive during my dog’s stay. Sometimes with other Rover stays, my dog acts differently or shy for a few days. My dog was in perfect spirits after her stay with Christian.”
“Hsin-Bai and Chi-Hung took amazing care of our pup Charles! They were super responsive, sent lots of photos, and took such great care of him. When they went to take him out at night they even put a little flashlight on his harness.”
“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”
