“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Ruthie had another week long stay with Mary. Took excellent care of her and Ruthie really enjoyed her squirrel hunting adventures in Petworth 😀”
“I recently moved to MD from NC and I am so grateful that I came across Yi on Rover! She agreed to keep our fur babies Gizmo and Savannah on relatively short notice (only 2 days I believe). She was very accommodating with my midday dropoff and pickup time requests. My dogs loved her fenced in backyard since they got a chance to play outside a lot with her dogs. Yi also did a great job of sharing pics of Gizmo and Savannah at least twice daily. All of this put my mind at ease that they were being well taken care of during their 5 day stay with her. I ABSOLUTELY will be using Yi again whenever we need to travel and l highly recommend her! Thanks Yi”
“Buddy has stayed with Robin a few times now and loves it. It was a great stay, as always. I always leave with peace of mind knowing that Buddy is safe and in good hands while I'm gone. I highly recommend them!”
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“Lina sends lots of pictures and takes great care of our pup as her own. I know he’s in good hands and is comfortable as if he were home. They are a sweet and thoughtful family, and we’re thankful for them!”
“Highly recommend! We had a very last minute cancellation by our dog sitter for Jeb on the morning of a trip out of town. Very lucky that we found Shahan - she replied right away and was able to take our buddy Jeb with only 2 hours of advance notice! Shoham has a large fenced in backyard, great for pups to get their exercise. She also provided walks and kept me updated on Jeb throughout the weekend. You can tell she is very good with dogs because Jeb was very relaxed when we arrived, and took the time to introduce him to the other dogs visiting to make sure everything was OK. We will definitely be using Shoham again for future doggie visits!”
“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“Aashna and Sidhanth were great! They’re were very responsive and accommodating when I had to adjust the schedule. They sent pictures and updates twice a day. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Karen was amazing with my dog. From the minute we had a meet and great I knew my dog would be safe and happy with her. Taco stayed for 5 days and during that time we received lots of videos and texts. I will definitely use Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for doggie day care”
“Dennis loved his time with the family and Larry the dog was the most gracious host! We got daily update photos and will definitely look to book again in the future. BIG FANS!”
“Andrea and Michael couldn’t have been sweeter to our little pup. They kept us up to date with pictures and gave our little guy his daily medications. We could tell that he enjoyed his time there immensely. We have used other sitters but have never been happier than we were with Andrea and Michael. We would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend.”
“I would not leave my Bruno anywhere else, my boy has so much fun every single time. The love and care they give to him irreplaceable ❤. Their home is a second home to my pup.”
“Muffin had a great time with Swati. Swati did an awesome job updating us with pictures of Muffin during her stay. You can tell she really loves dogs. She also was very understanding about a last minute change our plans. I highly recommend her.”
“Mellie is a wonderful, kind and caring person, she took excellent care of Murray. It was the first time Murray stayed with Mellie, and she texted me whenever she had questions about him; she communicates very quickly.. It's very comforting knowing that Murray was getting such loving care while I was away. Thank you Mellie and Murray will definitely come to visit again-”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
About: Hi everyone! I’ve had animals basically all my life. I’ve been always around dogs or cats. When I was a little kid my family used to have dogs and when I was a teenager we started to have cats. Recently I’ve been taking care of two gorgeous kitties every time my neighbors are out of town. I’m also comfortable with dogs of most sizes and walking them too. I’m currently working and studying but I have time to feed and take for a walk your pets in the morning, 2 hours off from 12:30 and after 7pm. I’m not able to house pets in my home. I could spend as much time as is needed with your pets and have a safe environment for them.

About: I’ve owned three cats in my life Lucas, Jasmine and Garfield. Sadly Garfield is no longer with us as he passed away a few years ago of a heart attack, but Lucas and Jasmine are still around and hopefully stay that way for many years to come.
About: I have experience raising and caring for cats since I was a toddler when Santa brought me my first cat! I have since always had a cat of my own, and currently have three! I also have experience as a foster, raising cats and kittens of all ages and sizes. My friends and family trust me as the cat expert and always come to me for cat sitting responsibilities!
“Not only did Kyrstin take excellent custodial care of my cat, she spent time playing with him. As a result, my cat was not out of sorts after we returned home from vacation.”
“Lingshan was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of update photos. My cats are usually fearful of new people and will stay hidden with care takers, but my girl Mia warmed up to Lingshan immediately during our meet and greet and followed her around during every visit.”
About: I have over six years of experience caring for cats, including regularly house sitting for my neighbor’s three cats for several weeks each year. During this time, I’ve also cared for other cats with a variety of needs, including administering medications and supporting cats with special requirements. This experience has helped me become highly attentive to cat behavior, comfort, and routines. In addition, I have owned my own cat for the past year, further strengthening my understanding of daily care, enrichment, and their personalities.
“We had a wonderful experience with Alice! Her house is very neat and full of points of interest. My cat didn’t fully adjust to the resident cats, but she had a loving, safe room with lots of points of interest. A huge window, two cat trees, a space under and on the couch, toys, and so on.”
“Xin took great care of my two cats during the holidays — one of my anxious kitties has only allowed four humans approach them (he lived in a shelter for three years), and by the last drop-in visit, Xin has shared a special bond with him. That says an lot about how attentive, gentle, and caring she is. Highly recommend.”
“Pilar did a wonderful job taking care of our Cat while we were out of town. She went above and beyond what we asked of her and we would certainly recommend her services to anyone!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and passion for animal care. Coming from a family that has fostered dozens of elderly dogs, puppies, and kittens, I have acquired invaluable skills in handling various age groups and providing specialized care. Additionally, my background working in a veterinary hospital for over two years has honed my knowledge of emergency care and the ability to identify signs of distress. I am well-versed in administering medication, maintaining hygiene, and providing comfort to animals in need. With my comprehensive expertise and genuine love for animals, I am dedicated to ensuring their well-being and providing exceptional care as a sitter. I have taken care of pretty much every animal you can thing of as a pet, including bearded dragons, snakes, fish, iguanas, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, axolotls, parakeets, and parrots, just to name a few. I am available for dog sitting and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. I work part-time 2-3 days a week, but the remaining days are completely open. I have reliable transportation and can adjust my availability to ensure your furry friend receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and provide comprehensive care. I ensure they receive thorough exercise to keep them active and healthy. Timely feeding and constant access to fresh water are fundamental aspects of their care. Leveraging my experience from working in a veterinary hospital, I am vigilant in monitoring their health, always on the lookout for any signs of discomfort or distress. The safety and happiness of the animals in my care are of utmost importance, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where they feel loved and attended to.
About: I have taken care of my friends and familys pups and I have two 13 year old pups! I love being around dogs and spending time with them! I am currently available everyday until I leave to college where I will study veterinary! I am also very flexible with my schedules. Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pups! I have an unfenced backyard if your pup is trained off-leash. I have a dog park nearby my house. My neighbor is super dog friendly with sidewalks all around!
About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts.

Any help you need to fully enjoy your weekend and last minute vacations can be found and easily booked through my profile! I attend community college during the fall and early winter seasons, so I will be available during the school season as well. I will communicate times that work for me and that work best for you and your pet! I keep track of very specific introduction you provide such as training protocols for feeding and interaction with other dogs. So far in my experience I have been able to adapt to various personalities of different dogs and enable them to have a safe and comforting experience with new people
About: Having owned and cared for multiple cats throughout my life, I’ve learned that no two cats are alike. From playful and affectionate cats to shy, independent, and senior cats, I understand the importance of adapting my care to each cat’s unique personality and routine. I am experienced with daily cat care tasks, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and administering oral medications when needed. I take the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace, whether that means engaging in playtime, providing companionship, or simply respecting their space. My goal is to ensure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!
About: Cats of all shapes and sizes and purrrrsonalities galore! Between working with two small pet sitter companies and my experience as a teen and on, I have enjoyed the time with clients and friends kitties. I can administer most meds, may need extra hands if a visit or client needs IV sessions at home. I currently have a 9 year old tabby, Thor, who I've had since kittenhood. He's the model for the photo here ;)

“Yi is the best! My dog absolutely loves going there and always comes back so happy and exhausted from playing all day. She sends so many great pictures of them throughout the day.”
“Lina did an amazing job! Our doggie does not do well being left with new people - she's so used to a few people since she was a puppy - and Lina did a great job making it work. She took Kiki on lots of walks to calm her down and gave her time to sun outside on her own, which she loves. I knew it would be a hard transition and Lina made it so much easier by sending tons of pictures throughout the day. We will definitely bring her back to Lina for more days of daycare so she gets used to her before we leave her overnight. Once she feels more comfortable, I know our doggy will be so happy to spend time with her!”
“Sasha and Ming’s Team have been taking care of our dog for 3 years now. Our dog LOVES going back to them every single time. He gets lots of play time and is a happy tired puppy by the time he gets back home. Highly recommend!”
“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Our dog Remy seems to have had a very nice experience during his first visit to daycare with Shoham. It was evident that she genuinely cared about the pets under her care and provided us with updates throughout the day. The house has an ideal backyard for dogs and Remy is looking forward to future visits!”
About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog sitter who takes the time to understand each dog’s specific needs and routine. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach depending on their age, energy level, and behavior. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing good habits like basic commands, potty training routines, and appropriate play. I stay consistent with whatever training style the owner prefers to help support their progress. I also have experience with senior care, including giving medications, monitoring mobility, and making sure older dogs stay comfortable and don’t overexert themselves. I pay close attention to any changes in behavior and keep owners updated. I’m patient, observant, and make sure every dog feels safe, cared for, and well looked after. I am a college student at Penn State University and am back for summer, so I’m free everyday and am flexible with timing to fit your needs. I follow each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick to their feeding, walking, and care instructions while making sure the pet gets plenty of attention and exercise.
About: Family love!! We now own a Bugg (boston terrier/pug mix) named Moxie who is 4 and previously owned a rescue pug named Rosie who lived to be 15. We have a single family home and large fully fenced in yard and love pet sitting all our neighbors' pets! We also have three boys (ages 5, 9, 12) who are comfortable around pets and love to play with them. My husband and I both telework so someone is home every day of the week. Either my husband or I am home every day. We typically walk our Bugg, Moxie, 3 times a day and also have a large fully fenced yard for her to play. Our current dog, Moxie, is free to roam our house all day and she sleeps in our son's room at night in her doggie bed. We don't mind dogs on our furniture or in any room, but can also provide separation or crating if desired.
About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Over the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with rescue organizations, fostering puppies as young as 1–2 weeks old. This has involved full-time care- feeding, socialization, basic training, and monitoring their health - until they are ready for their forever homes. Because I’ve cared for so many dogs at different stages of life, I’m very attentive to routines, diet needs, medical instructions, and behavior changes. I’m calm, patient, and confident handling shy, energetic, or anxious dogs, and I make sure each pet feels secure and comfortable from the moment they arrive. Safety and communication are extremely important to me. I follow owners’ instructions closely, maintain a clean and structured environment, and provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. Whether it's a puppy, an adult dog, or a senior with special needs, I’m committed to giving every animal the same level of care and consistency I give my own. My wife (a full-time homemaker) and I ensure that your furry family member is never left alone while staying with us. One of us is always home, providing constant supervision, comfort, and companionship throughout their visit. Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced, secure play area and 2–3 walks per day. We live on 2 acres of land with plenty of open space for safe exploration and exercise, along with an 11,000 sq. ft. home that provides ample room for your pet to relax and feel comfortable.
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.
About: Hi I'm a puppy lover, and I work from home. We are surrounded by many parks and would love to take your dog out to play. We have both grown up with dogs and would love to have our own one day but currently we travel abroad for a month every year which makes owning a dog a challenge. I would love to look after your puppy as my own! Why I love dog sitting We have always had dogs in our family. Since we travel internationally for over a month period almost every year, it is difficult for us to own one currently and therefore through Rover, we are able to get our puppy fix. About my yard We do have a huge yard My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. My husband and I work from home and our parents are young, retired and live with us so we have 4 adults to help as needed. We only offer dog sitting in our home. Ofcourse we will feed them, walk them, pick up after them and offer unconditional cuddles if they allow us :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets for more than 10 years, specially family pets, friends and neighbors so I really enjoy this “job” cause more than a job is a hobbie for me, I love animals. I work from home, so I can take care of dogs the whole day, I usually like to walk with them 3 times but in summer I prefer 2 times. I have a backyard and also in front of my building I have a really huge park also I have more parks and green places close so We can ride around the area and with cats if they like to walk I’ll be my pleasure walk with the kitties.
“Mocha is a regular client of LaurieBeth's since we adopted her a few months ago. Mocha is always so excited to spend the day with her and gets lots of affection and exercise. I am also super appreciative of LaurieBeth because Mocha is working on her obedience training and LaurieBeth didn't hesitate to help us reinforce the behaviors. So grateful!”
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi, I’m Tiffany! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience caring for small to medium sized dogs. As a proud dog mom to six dogs (one of whom now lives with me in the DC area!), I understand that pets are family and deserve the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, overnight care, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay or walk. My goal is to make the experience as stress free as possible for the both of you! I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and provide them with the same care and affection I’d want for my own dogs! I work fully remote, Monday through Friday therefore I am able walk dogs within a specific radius and I am able to dog sit daily and overnight as well. I live in an apartment. I have a secured lock to keep your fur baby safe at all times and I have one Morkie who is super friendly and ready to meet new friends!
“I worked with Huan for doggy day care while I was away for the day. She was very kind from the start and very responsive to messages and communication. I really appreciate how welcoming she was to both myself and my dog. She ensured that I was comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and made sure to understand any needs for my pup and any concerns I might have had. Was a great experience and I will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter!”

“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!”

“Kyrstin did a great job with my Omidoo! He can be dog reactive and is 90+ lbs so finding a confident handler is difficult, but Kyrstin put me at ease. She handled his reactivity well and kept him controlled, and gave me thorough updates after all his walks. The poloroid was a super cute touch too! I (and Omidoo) look forward to Kyrstin coming again :)”
“Angela was amazing and was able to accommodate a super short request as I was unable to walk my dogs due to illness. She is wonderful with my big enthusiastic dog who loves to walk and also my slow old lady dog who walks exceedingly slow. All of my animals loved her.”
“Amazing help when we needed a dog walker on short notice - our dog loved her, and she was extremely punctual and reliable. Will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“William has been fantastic with our very energetic puppy! Highly recommend him for dogs of all ages! We always appreciate the detailed note and pictures after every visit!”
“Laura is amazing!!!! She walked my skittish labradoodle, and it was clear my dog was fully at ease with Laura. She was timely, communicated well, and sent photos. Would highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
About: I may not have a dog at home right now, but I’ve been the go-to person in my friend group whenever someone needs a sitter or walker they can actually trust. Dogs have always gravitated toward me — probably because I treat every pup like my own. I grew up with a family dog who I loved deeply, and losing her a few years ago only deepened my appreciation for how much these animals mean to us. Taking care of your dog isn’t just a job to me — it’s genuinely one of my favorite things to do. Expect lots of walks, playtime, cuddles on demand, and photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the time, attention, and exercise they deserve, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or a full day of company. I treat every dog like family. I follow each pet parent’s routines and instructions closely, keep dogs leashed and secure at all times, and send regular updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and safe. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing is always my top priority.

“Our pup Gracie Mae instantly connected with Christopher. It was if she had already met him before. He was absolutely great with her, took her on walks, gave her pets and kept her company while we were on our trip. It was so wonderful that Christopher kept in touch with us daily, sending us great pictures and videos. Gracie was always so excited when he arrived. She really enjoyed her walks with him! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for pet sitting services. Without a doubt, we will book with him again🩷🐾”
About: I’ve had experience with both dogs and cats since I was a toddler! My family has always had Sheltie dogs, and I have always had cats of my own! I have experience as a foster parent to cats and kittens of all sizes. My cat Tater Tot is a foster fail! I also have experience dog and cat sitting for friends over the years, including in home care, dog walking, senior dog care, and puppy care as I raised my own dog, Honey, from just a few months old! I am currently in the midst of starting my own pastry business, so I am extremely flexible as I work through the paperwork and business planning! I am completely flexible in my schedule, and am available any day of the week any time as my work is a currently remote and flexible! I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am very comfortable doing pet care in clients homes. My most recent dog-sitting client had three dogs of various ages and temperaments, and I was comfortable entering the home, walking and spending time with them, feeding and giving the elderly dog medication, then crating the two others! As a pet parent, I know how important it is to spend quality time and play time with pets while they are missing their family!
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve fostered, adopted, and cared for many dogs. Puppies and kittens are my specialty, but senior animals deserve just as much love. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for dogs and cats by following their routines, providing meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, affection, and plenty of patience and attention. My goal is simple: a happy pet is a cared-for pet

“Highly recommend! We had a very last minute cancellation by our dog sitter for Jeb on the morning of a trip out of town. Very lucky that we found Shahan - she replied right away and was able to take our buddy Jeb with only 2 hours of advance notice! Shoham has a large fenced in backyard, great for pups to get their exercise. She also provided walks and kept me updated on Jeb throughout the weekend. You can tell she is very good with dogs because Jeb was very relaxed when we arrived, and took the time to introduce him to the other dogs visiting to make sure everything was OK. We will definitely be using Shoham again for future doggie visits!”
“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“Aashna and Sidhanth were great! They’re were very responsive and accommodating when I had to adjust the schedule. They sent pictures and updates twice a day. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Andrea and Michael couldn’t have been sweeter to our little pup. They kept us up to date with pictures and gave our little guy his daily medications. We could tell that he enjoyed his time there immensely. We have used other sitters but have never been happier than we were with Andrea and Michael. We would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend.”
“Mellie is a wonderful, kind and caring person, she took excellent care of Murray. It was the first time Murray stayed with Mellie, and she texted me whenever she had questions about him; she communicates very quickly.. It's very comforting knowing that Murray was getting such loving care while I was away. Thank you Mellie and Murray will definitely come to visit again-”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Stevie was only there for 1 night but Ray and Ivy were very accommodating when I asked for a quick meet and greet due to my dogs anxiety. Their home is very dog friendly and Stevie was well cared for. They also sent tons of pictures and communication was great. I would certainly use them again.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”
“Andrew and his family provided such a wonderful and warm home for an anxious pup like ours. It was Colters first time at a sitters home and they made it go as perfectly as possible. We can’t thank Andrew & co enough and highly recommend him to all pup parents!”
“Dave took great care of Penny while we were away for 10 days. Dave made the whole process very easy and was great to work with. We got daily updates with photos, and peace of mind knowing Penny was in good hands and sticking to her routine. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Dave followed the care instructions well. Reliable, communicative, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips and highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!”
“Kelly and her husband were WONDERFUL with our mini-doodle, Daisy, while we were away! We received many photos and videos to show the variety of activities Daisy was enjoying. When we had a flight delay, Kelly was so flexible and helpful! We can tell Daisy developed a loving bond with Kelly and John. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again knowing Daisy is in excellent care with her and her husband!”
“Brandon and his whole family were taking great care of Amy, she got loads of cuddling and playing. We got photos regularly showing that she enjoyed her time there. And Amy had a great time with River (great dog company, a good girl). We will definitely book again!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
“Madelyn did a great job with our puppy, Boomer. It was his first time staying with someone we/he didn't know, and we were a bit nervous. Madelyn was flexible and gave him lots of affection, sent us updates and pictures, and we would definitely rebook with Madelyn!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“It was a last minute book, i was having an emergency, she was gentle to book and take my 12 years old dog to day care on Sunday, and provide a picture of him. I only can say, Thank you!!”
“Evan and Megan are phenomenal. They are extremely kind hearted, loving and made me feel very comfortable. They sent continuous updates. I will definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future.”
