“We were very happy with the care Caroline gave our puppy. We loved the videos she sent on various times during the weekend. Our puppy looked like she was having fun being with other dogs. We would gladly book Caroline again next time we go out of town.”
“Would not trust anyone else with our 100 pound lab. 7 days away and pictures and updates daily. Made our vacation pet worry free. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“Karen was very loving towards my puppy. She sent regular updates with pictures. She was open to him sleeping in the bedroom as he’s accustomed to at home which I really appreciated. She also shared concerns about his eating and worked on a solution to get him to eat better while away from home. He was a happy pup with her.”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“Laura was wonderful. She had a fenced yard and two dogs for our dog to play with. She was so understanding when he had some loose stools. Even fed him some rice. She went above and beyond. I wish she had clones in every place we stay. Would definitely use again. She also kept us updated and sent pictures.”
“Zachary was fantastic hosting Spooky for an extended stay. He was very patient with Spooky building up his confidence in his temporary home and sent lots of photos and updates about how he was doing. I can tell from the photos Spooky became quite comfortable with Zachary and in his house. I would definitely request Zachary watch Spooky again.”
“Deana was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, James, took such great care of my dog, Henny, during a last-minute boarding. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such a loving and attentive home. Deana truly treats your pet like her own, and it shows in everything she does. Henny was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Plus, her dog Shaggy is adorable and has such a similar personality to Henny :) It’s also a huge bonus that she lives nearby, making everything so convenient. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“There is a reason why Catherine is a Star Sitter on Rover, and we experienced that amply while boarding our 5-year-old Husky and 16-year-old senior Bichon with her for three nights. Both our dogs require medicines and special care, and with Catherine, they got it reliably and wholeheartedly. She took the time to understand our care instructions and went above and beyond our expectations. She asked questions, kept us closely posted, and was supported strongly by her husband and family, all avid dog lovers who provided a secure and loving environment for our pets. When we picked up our dogs, they seemed relaxed and happy. We'd rate Catherine higher than five stars if we could!”
“Katie and Kristen were so attentive to Ziggy. They sent alot of pictures, and we could tell Ziggy was getting such great care. Ziggy is normally so happy to come home, but this time we think she kinda missed being at their house!!! Thank you Katie and Kristen!”
“Jennifer was a fantastic pet sitter! She send daily updates on how Maple was doing like sleeping on her lap ❤️, it was reassuring to read how much she and her family cared. Thanks so much for your kindness 😊”
“As always, Coddy & Byron took great care of Waylon. They provide an environment that is safe and fun for him to play with the other dogs. It is evident that they spend time with him teaching and playing during his stays and is always excited to return!”
“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”
“Tracey did an exceptional job taking care of our Bella!!! I felt very comfortable leaving her because Tracey is mature, has so much experience with dogs and is a dog trainer etc. Tracey sent me daily updates with pictures which really helped put my mind at ease and was greatlyappreciated!! She exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!!”

“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”

“Marija did a fabulous job with my senior dog! My dog was there for 1 1/2 weeks and she got to know her very well. Meds were given and she paid close attention to her special needs. Received many awesome photos and videos which put our minds at ease that she was happy and having a good time. Would highly recommend”

“This was my first experience with Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Courtney was amazing with Toothless & Fury! She was attentive and took so many great photos which eased my anxiety. She did everything she could to make sure toothless got his meds even though he’s such a wild card/grumpy old man. Truly grateful.”
“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands. Chelsea was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to put a smile on our faces each time. This was our first time with Rover and we will absolutely be using this service again AND specifically asking for Chelsea!”
“Cheryl was so helpful. I booked her last min. She did so good with my boxer Stella. Let her out and played with her. She even went out of her way to put fresh water in the bowl for her. I am so appreciative to have her help and will recommend her to anyone!”
“Great care and updates while I was away! Marissa was a pleasure to work with and very attentive to my cats allowing them to warm up to her throughout the week. She is very organized and ensures she has every detail about the animals she watches. I would use her again.”
“I am so happy Sara is on Rover! She has watched my cats and dogs for years. Knowing Sara is caring for my animals gives me peace of mind. She checks in on my girls while I am at work. I know my pets are safe with Sara. Just meeting her you can tell she truly loves animals! Penelope & Mille are so excited to see Sara again soon! Thanks, Sara!!”
“Missy was wonderful! She took great care of our 2 dogs. Everytime she came to our house we got a detailed description of how the visit went. Pictures of our dogs too! We would highly recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future! Thank you so much Missy!”
“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”
“We loved having Karla check in on our pup while I was having a medical procedure out of state. I had an adverse reaction and had to stay an extra night and Karla saved our butts by being able to do an extra day! Very punctual and highly recommend using her!”
“Hadlie did a great job watching our two cats. She was very communicative the entire time she was caring for them and very professional. Hadlie also went above and beyond helping to water our Christmas tree and shovel part of the drive while we were away. We are so appreciative of her willingness to help in all these ways! Highly recommend!”
“Alexis always does an amazing job taking care of our cat! We never stress while we are away, because we know he is in good hands. She is always on time and her updates are always very thorough! If we ever have any questions or concerns she responds quickly.”

“Jonathan and Kayleigh were awesome. They took such great care of my Lucy girl going beyond what was required to make sure she got her attention and outside time. They took tons of pictures and it was clear that Lucy was in heaven while they were there. Super chill, very easy to talk to, would be very happy to have them look after Lucy again.”

“We dropped Olive with Caroline for the day while we tailgated and attended the Michigan game. Caroline was communicative and flexible with our timing. Olive had such a wonderful time playing with the pups, she slept the whole next day!!”
“My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety as well as fear of other dogs. It has been challenging finding the right caretaker for him. Richard and Sarah have been fantastic with Guinness and he enjoys his time there. A little out of the way to get him there but worth it because of how great Richard and Sarah are with our boy.”

About: I have always loved animals and had pets my entire life. Currently have a dalmatian that loves to play and could use a friend to help them both burn energy. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.
“Barbara & Dirk are excellent dog sitters. They are very loving to the dogs and very welcoming. Zoey their small Morkie is adorable and very charming. She is a great hostess and plays so nicely with her visitors. My dogs walked right to the front door and were happy to spend the day with Barbara, Dirk and Zoey after meeting them. We are anxious for our next visit and highly recommend them.”
About: I have a very dog and cat friendly place to call home. Most days I am outside working around the property and the dogs are out with us. I’ve raised our dogs from 8 weeks old and the Labs are obedience trained and have taken their Canine Good Citizen class to hopefully be Therapy dogs soon. Our Pug is the youngest and raised by the Labs and of course, me. In the evenings it’s relax in the chair time. The dogs love to snuggle up and just nap after playing outside. I make my own work schedule and am able to fit work around pets. Usually only leaving the dogs for an errand run here and there. I go outside with all dogs and walk them on the property. I feed 2 times a day plus a snack or whatever is necessary for any visiting pet along with fresh water at all times. All pets have free range of the house day and night unless otherwise requested. I have an outdoor kennel for nice days if they need to be outside for a little while.
About: I’ve owned several dogs, large and small breeds, most of my life. I am a dog lover!!. I am a retired registered nurse, and recently had to say goodbye to our beloved lab, Mack. I am missing a furry friend and would love to meet and care for your pet. I have a lovely setting for boarding your dog or cat. I live in a wooded area with large lots and long meandering roads for walks that are away from busy roads. I am home full time since I retired and love to walk, so your dog will get lots of exercise staying with me. I usually only take one dog at a time, however if you have 2 pets from the same household, I would take both. I would also take 2 dogs, each from different households, if both pet parents agree. I will give full attention to your pet during boarding, doggy day care, drop in visits, and walks. I will love and play with them and follow any specific instructions for pet care you have. I will communicate with pet updates during our visits and send you pictures of your pets daily activities.
“Sheila is an amazing person and caregiver! Today was our dog’s first day with her, and our doggo was loved and very well taken care of. Thank you, Sheila!!”
“Catherine is AMAZING! She is so kind, considerate, and takes such great care of our dog Romeo. We had a last minute request for daycare and she accepted and went above and beyond. You can tell she truly loves your dog like her own. I will definitely be using Catherine again in the future and I highly recommend you book with her! I cannot say enough good things.”

“Kelcie and Kyle take excellent care of our doggies and even sent them home with sweet notes and a gift/ toy. They are wonderful and we feel very fortunate to have them to watch our puppies!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂
“She is so fantastic! Her backyard is huge. Our dogs are still asleep and it's 16 hours since we picked them up. We're definitely going to ask her to dog sit them again. She's very friendly and open and communicates very well. We also got pictures during the day which was really nice. I think they had a fantastic time.”
About: I was an owner of dogs for a number a years. We loved having them but we are last dog passed when our 2nd son was born we decided to take a break.

I will treat your dog like family. It will be part of my family while you are away. I live on an acre and half lot and there will be a lot of play time for your dog. I have cared for a diabetic cat and dog so I can give injections.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around them. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors care for their dogs—whether that meant daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or watching them in my own home. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and longer stays. I’m reliable, responsive, and can adjust to your dog’s routine as needed. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and make sure dogs are always supervised while outside. I currently don’t have other pets in my home, so your dog will have a calm environment and my full attention. I also have reliable transportation and can safely transport dogs if needed. While I don’t keep a crate on hand, I’m happy to accommodate one if you provide it and can easily transport it when necessary.
About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.
About: About Me I have shared my life with animals since childhood, and caring for pets is second nature to me. I raised my pug Madison from a tiny puppy all the way through her senior years, and she was a beloved part of my family until she passed at 14 years old. That kind of long-term commitment taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize what an animal needs even when they can't tell you. Today I have two wonderful dogs of my own: Keith, a spirited pug, and Othis, a friendly lab. Between them I stay well practiced in the daily rhythms of dog care, from energetic walks to quiet companionship. Services I Offer I provide flexible, reliable pet care tailored to your needs. This includes house-sitting your dogs while you're away, taking them on walks to keep them happy and exercised, and dropping by during the day to let them out, refresh water, and give them attention. Whether you need someone for a single afternoon or an extended stay, I'm happy to build a routine that keeps your pets comfortable and cared for in their own familiar environment. My Experience Dogs have been a constant throughout my life, so I understand their personalities, energy levels, and quirks. I'm also very comfortable with cats, having had several of my own over the years. I know how to respect a cat's independence while making sure they're fed, clean, and content. From playful puppies to easygoing seniors, I adapt my care to fit each animal's temperament and stage of life. Availability I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to spend meaningful time with your pets rather than rushing through a quick visit. I can accommodate daytime walks and let-outs, midday check-ins, and overnight house-sitting depending on your schedule. Your pets will get genuine attention and companionship, not just a hurried stop. I would love the chance to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind while you're away. I work remote, so I’m home and can let dogs out, walk them or house sit. I am available to take your dog to the vet. At my house, I do have a fenced in yard. I also have crates. I do prefer to watch dogs at the clients house because a dog is more comfortable in its own environment.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there's nothing I enjoy more than making pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while their families are away. To give some insight on my experience, I have volunteered at my local humane society, caring for both dogs and cats. I then spent some time as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility where I cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. That experience alone taught me the importance of patience, routine, and attention to detail, especially when it comes to special diets and individualized care. Over the years, I've also been the go to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. At home, I'm owned by my sweet gray cat, Misty. Keeping her happy has made providing constant love and companionship second nature. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched, they're being cared for like one of my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!! 🤍 I'm currently working full time in the restaurant industry. 90% of the time my schedule is 4pm-11:30pm Fri-Teu leaving some midday and late night availability. Please don't hesitate to reach out if your request falls outside of my availability as I may be able to accommodate if there's enough time ahead. I look forward to meeting you and your furry pet! 🤍 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet receives personalized care based on their routine and needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, ensure plenty of exercise and give endless affection. In clients' homes, I respect their space, maintain their pet's normal routine, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.
About: I just made the compassionate choice to set my dog free from his pain. I was a dad to a 7 1/2 year old Schnauzer mix who was just the best. I used to watch pups for teachers, coaches, and family members before I moved out and got my pup! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and would love to get to spend time with your pup too. I work a hybrid schedule right now, so I’m usually available around lunch times or in a pinch to go make an appearance for your pup and make sure they’re taken care of. Depending on your needs I can usually be flexible with my time to make things work. My house has a fenced in yard, and I love going outside with dogs to play, throw the ball, or just hang out with them. Wherever I need to be for them, I’m there! They will be able to explore my house, be in furniture.
About: I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rabbits and other tiny critters. I worked at a kennel so I have worked with a great variety of dogs, big and small, old and young. I have experience with giving medication as well as bathing and training dogs. Because of my kennel experience, I am not afraid of any size dog, even if they are on the more aggressive and energetic side. I have studied pet behavior and understand where my boundaries are and I will never overstep their boundaries. I want the animals under my care to feel as comfortable with me as possible. I am currently a full-time college student at Grand Valley State, so I am unable to offer full-time services. I am mainly looking for weekend work butt will still accept certain hours during the week. I live in an apartment, so boarding at my home is not an option due to pet limitations. But I am more than willing to care for my clients pets in their home!

Explain pet sitter routine adherence Pet sitter routine adherence means following a pet’s established daily schedule exactly as the owner outlines so the animal experiences consistency, comfort, and stability while their family is away. It’s one of the core pillars of professional pet care because pets rely heavily on predictable patterns to feel safe. Here’s a clear, professional explanation you can use in your policies, website, or client materials: 🐾 What “Routine Adherence” Means in Professional Pet Sitting ⭐ Following the Owner’s Instructions Precisely A professional sitter sticks to the pet’s normal schedule — feeding times, walk durations, medication windows, play preferences, crate routines, and bedtime habits. This reduces stress and keeps the pet’s internal rhythm stable. ⭐ Maintaining Familiar Patterns Pets thrive on predictability. Routine adherence ensures: Meals happen at the same time Walks follow familiar routes Litter boxes are cleaned on the usual schedule Treats and enrichment match the owner’s guidelines Sleep and rest periods stay consistent ⭐ Respecting Behavioral Needs Some pets require structure to feel secure — especially seniors, anxious animals, or pets with medical conditions. Routine adherence helps prevent behavioral issues like pacing, whining, or refusal to eat. ⭐ Supporting Health & Safety Sticking to the routine ensures medications are given on time, dietary restrictions are followed, and physical activity is appropriate for the pet’s age and condition. ⭐ Providing Stability During Owner Absence When everything else changes — the environment, the person caring for them — the routine becomes the anchor. Adhering to it helps pets feel calm, confident, and cared for. Want me to write this as a polished section for your Safety & Environment Policy, Welcome Packet, or Website?

About: I have grown up surrounded by various animals and I love taking care of them. I want to make fur babies as happy as possible! I am currently working part time at a law firm while I go to law school and am looking for a way to hang with more furry friends! I have one small dog at home who is very friendly and playful. She would love to run around with your fur baby all day.
About: My whole life I have had dogs. When I was little a yellow lab, and now a very large charcoal lab, his name is Finn in my profile picture, he’s my best bud.

I often take my dogs with me to the store when I can and sometimes stop for a pup cup.

“We were very happy with the care Caroline gave our puppy. We loved the videos she sent on various times during the weekend. Our puppy looked like she was having fun being with other dogs. We would gladly book Caroline again next time we go out of town.”
“Would not trust anyone else with our 100 pound lab. 7 days away and pictures and updates daily. Made our vacation pet worry free. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“They were so comforting and took amazing care of my dog, Mila. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. They kept me updated with pictures and messages, which meant a lot. I will absolutely use them again! Thank you Barbara and Dirk.🐾🐾”
“Laura was wonderful. She had a fenced yard and two dogs for our dog to play with. She was so understanding when he had some loose stools. Even fed him some rice. She went above and beyond. I wish she had clones in every place we stay. Would definitely use again. She also kept us updated and sent pictures.”
“There is a reason why Catherine is a Star Sitter on Rover, and we experienced that amply while boarding our 5-year-old Husky and 16-year-old senior Bichon with her for three nights. Both our dogs require medicines and special care, and with Catherine, they got it reliably and wholeheartedly. She took the time to understand our care instructions and went above and beyond our expectations. She asked questions, kept us closely posted, and was supported strongly by her husband and family, all avid dog lovers who provided a secure and loving environment for our pets. When we picked up our dogs, they seemed relaxed and happy. We'd rate Catherine higher than five stars if we could!”
“As always, Coddy & Byron took great care of Waylon. They provide an environment that is safe and fun for him to play with the other dogs. It is evident that they spend time with him teaching and playing during his stays and is always excited to return!”
“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”

“Marija did a fabulous job with my senior dog! My dog was there for 1 1/2 weeks and she got to know her very well. Meds were given and she paid close attention to her special needs. Received many awesome photos and videos which put our minds at ease that she was happy and having a good time. Would highly recommend”
“Andrew was great! He is quick to respond to questions and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. We had some travel glitches and Andrew was incredibly flexible to help. Our pup loved his yard and we will be sure to book again.”
“Toni was great!! I will definitely be booking with her again! She took such great care of my dog. Toni had amazing communication and was very flexible with me. Nelson had a great stay with Toni!!”
“Wow - Anna was an amazing sitter! We were a little nervous leaving our pup (Uki) with a new person, but right from the start, we knew she was in for a great experience. Even before we booked, Anne agreed to have my husband come to her house to allow Uki to get acclimated/make sure it was a good fit. My husband instantly felt at ease with Anne and had no concerns leaving Uki with her. During our vacation, Anne sent us daily photos and *the most adorable* daily status updates on how Uki was doing. She went out of her way to make Uki special treats, accommodate her dietary preferences, allowed her on her sofa, and took her on long walks, and showered her with attention. Honestly, I imagine Uki was a bit sad to leave! We are so grateful to Anne for her attention to our pup and would rebook with her in an instant/recommend her to all our friends. Great first experience with Rover!”
“So grateful to have found Kelsey and Kyle on Rover. They did such a great job with my girl. I received pictures and updates every day during my trip. I could tell they kept Tage busy because she came home both happy and tuckered out. There is truly no better feeling than knowing your fur baby is well taken care of while you're away. I highly recommend them.”
“Rodney was great. He responded to my last minute request over the holidays promptly. He then made sure Zeno would fit in with his dogs and his boarders. Zeno had a blast and was nice and tired when he finally came home. Rodney has a great property for dogs that need room to roam. Highly recommend.”
“We are so grateful to Oscar for taking such amazing care of our puppy Maple this past weekend! Maple had so much indoor and outdoor playtime! Oscar kept us updated with videos and messages throughout the weekend. He was also incredibly flexible with Maple’s pickup time when we got stuck in traffic on our drive home. We recommend Oscar as a pet sitter without reservation and will definitely ask if Oscar can care for Maple again in the future!”
“Kayden is our regular dog sitter and is fantastic! Our Golden Retriever loves going to play with the other dogs and is always so excited to go. Kayden also provides regular updates and photos to let us know how our pup is doing. I definitely recommend.”
“Our 1.5 y.o. pup spent 10 days with Mariana and came back happy, healthy, and knowing a few new commands and tricks. Totally trust her and will request her again when we need boarding.”
