“Ana and Michael provided a wonderful place for us to leave Blossom for a few days. We were immediately comfortable and welcomed. Blossom made herself at home right away. She loved the fenced in back yard and all the attention. Ana was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She also provided videos and updates on how Blossom was doing. It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”
“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”
“Our pup had a great stay with Vanessa & Andrew! We were impressed right away at the meet and greet when they asked a lot of questions and took notes. They are very kind and caring people. They also are very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs including puppies! During our pup’s stay, Vanessa & Andrew sent daily pics and updates on how she was doing which was so appreciated! We will definitely book with Vanessa & Andrew in the future!”
“This was our dogs first time not staying with family while we were away. Beth made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her and sent lots of pics and kept us updated on how he was doing! We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Kelly did a great job watching my two toy Aussie’s! The dogs immediately got comfortable with Kelly and her two beautiful greyhounds. They loved the large fenced in grass yard— they were in dog heaven! Kelly sent photos and kept me posted on how my pups were doing. I so appreciated the updates since Kelly graciously took them at the last minute (due to a funeral in the family). I will definitely contact Kelly again— thank you!”
“My pup loves Cynthia and her place! Lots of dogs to socialize with, tons of exercise in the big and fenced backyard, plus abundant love and care is given to all the 4-legged friends. Just between you and me, I think my pup would rather live there than go home with me! A good problem to have 😁 Can’t recommend enough!”
“Shelby was terrific with my dog. It was her first time away from us in a long time. Shelby sent lots of pics and took her on lots of trail walks, which she loves. She seemed very happy and we will definitely hire Shelby again to take care of our dog when we are away!”
“First timer to Rover and it went great. Were able to have a separate meet time to make sure our dog got along with Chelsie’s dogs and that made our stay better. Chelsie sent a few pics each day which we appreciated and I am grateful to have been able to leave our dog Pippa in a home environment! Great experience-”
“This was my first time using Wish and it was absolutely wonderful that by the time I got to Target drive up she had sent me a photo love the other two small dogs that my dog was playing with it totally put my mind at ease! She sent me other photos as updates and even a video. I absolutely loved her service it's close to my house convenient and I like that my dog got to play with her son also. I will definitely use her services again!”
“My cockapoo, Buffy, has separation anxiety. I wanted to find a better option to boarding her other than a kennel. I was nervous about leaving her with someone neither of us knew. Buffy and I had a meet and greet with Shelley prior to the scheduled overnight stay. I immediately felt comfortable taking with Shelley about my concerns. Shelley answered my long list of questions with patience and grace. Buffy's recent overnight stay went extremely well. Shelley sent updates and pictures during the stay. I feel I have found Buffy a home away from home. Buffy will have someone that will be there for her around the clock when I can't be. Which means less stress for both of us. Thank you Shelley.”

“Brenna was super confident about taking care of my slow to warm up dog and I felt very reassured that he would be in good hands.

Would definitely book again and I recommend Brenna for anxious dogs.”

“Absolutely amazing. Worked great with my 3 fur babies. Even my old lady fur child. Took pictures when she was done which gave me the peace of mind that the animals were okay. Even left little treats for the babies at the end. My cat likes the bag more than the treats but we still appreciate it. Will definitely book again if I ever need help again.”
“Emmalee took excellent care of our cats while we were away on a long vacation. She kept us updated with plenty of photos of her playing with them and spending quality time together, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip!”
About: My family always had pets growing up, I've taken care of dogs, cats, fish, ginuea pigs, and even a few bearded dragons. I've also pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors! I've raised a couple kittens into adulthood too! I currently work throught the week during the day, but my availability opens up at about 5pm. My weekends are usually pretty open. I'm always happy to be flexible whenever possible. The cats I've brought up from kittens ended up affectionate and playful. My current cat is a rescue, due to having a rough early life she ended up extremely shy and anxious, she's taught me a lot about interacting with cats, and more generally animals, that are cautious of people.

“Avaiyah did a great job with our spunky and overly friendly dog when we went on a very last minute trip to see family. We had never done anything like Rover before and have only ever used the same boarder, so we were hesitant to try it out, but she made it so easy and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Rose was so kind. I’d forgotten to set up the door code for her and after failed attempts to reach me she went back later in the day once we connected. Thanks for going the extra mile.”
“My cats have special needs, with Ariel's background, I was very comfortable leaving them in her care. She graciously came over for not one, but two meet and greets to go over all of the medications and special diets. This really helped put me at ease. Ariel sent pictures and detailed updates. She even gave them extra attention and hand washed their dishes. I'm in the process of booking her again. Thanks so much, Ariel!”

“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”

About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.
“Elizabeth cared for our Corgi and Cockapoo for two days while we were visiting the area. Our girls had so much fun with Elizabeth and her two daughters. We will absolutely book with her again.”

About: My husband and I are former dog foster parents and love meeting/spending time with new dogs!

We have space to keep dogs separated if you have a dog that is shy or needs very slow introductions (we have a three level home). Our resident pups are allowed on our bed if they choose, but we have plenty of dog beds around too, and we do not allow them on our couch. We will do our very best to accommodate your pups needs and keep you updated on how your four legged family member is doing while you are away! I currently work from home and am able to take breaks to allow potty and attention breaks. My husband is also home most of the time and will be available when I am not. We like to do slow introductions to other dogs to ensure the comfort of our resident dogs and the visiting pups. We have the space to crate or allow roaming on separate levels if needed.
“Marill was very accommodating with a couple of my requests ( paw holding and Gabbys food need). I received a timely update. Gabby looked happy when i picked her up - easily going back to Marill to say good bye to her. Very reassuring experience. Even with several dogs running around in fenced area Gabby came home clean and fluffy. Very nice experience - marill has this down!”

“Robyn is beyond great with my dog! We started with a meet and greet walk that went very well but after my dog was shy without me there. Robyn was very good at helping Trusty warm up to her! She is always open to suggestions when it comes to me and my dog's needs. Now Trusty absolutely adores her! She's always very punctual, takes good pictures,and leaves good notes on her walks. When she isn't able to walk my dog, she has notified me far earlier than what I expected. I leave for work at 5:00 in the morning and I've had time to readjust before I leave. Hopefully recommended!”

I have trained a few of my personal dogs the basics and would love to spend more time with more animals. I drive school bus in the mornings monday - friday and host open houses on the weekends. i am very flexible during the day and evenings I take great pride in having the best care for the animals i look after. I always take care of every animal like my own. they are family not pets in my house.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.
About: I have grown up my whole life around animals. When I was younger, I had smaller animals like hamsters and rats. In high school, my dad did get an English bulldog and he was my best friend! When we first brought him home, I took him to training and I loved every second of it! I would watch him almost every weekend for my parents. My sister also had a dog, her and I worked opposite schedules so I would take care of him during the day. I also took him through training as a puppy. So if you have a puppy and want them to learn a thing or two I can help! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats with my boyfriend. So I really understand how much your fur baby’s mean to you as I have some at home! I am working part time and looking for something to do with my other time! I’m available all day Wednesdays, Fridays after 2pm and just about every weekend! Something that I live by is treating others animals like your own! I am also very big on respect. Letting me into your home to take care of your fur baby’s means a lot to me. I love to just hang out with furry friends or go play outside, which ever you need from me I will do! I really would like to make sure you and your animals can trust me! Whether you have cameras in your home or need a check in hourly, I’m willing to do whatever you need to trust me in your home. Having that trust bond can really make or break a sitter! Besides trust I also value on making sure your animal is safe.
About: I have 5 amazing dogs of my own, 1 pitbull, 2 American Eskimo mini and 2 Pomeranians. I had 2 liter of puppies from my dogs (1st liter was 10 pups, 2nd liter was 5 pups) and was able to raise them well for their furever home. I run a lot, so if your dog needs to exercise, you can count me in. Or simply needs a rest day, or any kind of special needs, I’m your girl. I work full time and have my own babies to care for, but I’m a super dog mom so I’m pretty flexible and prepared for anything. With my own experiences of owning 5 dogs, and raising 15 puppies, I feel like that should speak for itself. I do have a fenced in yard, I love dogs and I want them to be happy while they're with me or their own homes.

“Ana and Michael provided a wonderful place for us to leave Blossom for a few days. We were immediately comfortable and welcomed. Blossom made herself at home right away. She loved the fenced in back yard and all the attention. Ana was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She also provided videos and updates on how Blossom was doing. It was a wonderful experience leaving Blossom for the first time. Thank you so much.”
“Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)”
“Our pup had a great stay with Vanessa & Andrew! We were impressed right away at the meet and greet when they asked a lot of questions and took notes. They are very kind and caring people. They also are very knowledgeable when it comes to dogs including puppies! During our pup’s stay, Vanessa & Andrew sent daily pics and updates on how she was doing which was so appreciated! We will definitely book with Vanessa & Andrew in the future!”
“This was our dogs first time not staying with family while we were away. Beth made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her and sent lots of pics and kept us updated on how he was doing! We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Kelly did a great job watching my two toy Aussie’s! The dogs immediately got comfortable with Kelly and her two beautiful greyhounds. They loved the large fenced in grass yard— they were in dog heaven! Kelly sent photos and kept me posted on how my pups were doing. I so appreciated the updates since Kelly graciously took them at the last minute (due to a funeral in the family). I will definitely contact Kelly again— thank you!”
“My pup loves Cynthia and her place! Lots of dogs to socialize with, tons of exercise in the big and fenced backyard, plus abundant love and care is given to all the 4-legged friends. Just between you and me, I think my pup would rather live there than go home with me! A good problem to have 😁 Can’t recommend enough!”
“Shelby was terrific with my dog. It was her first time away from us in a long time. Shelby sent lots of pics and took her on lots of trail walks, which she loves. She seemed very happy and we will definitely hire Shelby again to take care of our dog when we are away!”
“First timer to Rover and it went great. Were able to have a separate meet time to make sure our dog got along with Chelsie’s dogs and that made our stay better. Chelsie sent a few pics each day which we appreciated and I am grateful to have been able to leave our dog Pippa in a home environment! Great experience-”

“Steven and Diane were great. We booked short noticed and they were so easy going with the schedule. They made sure to do a meet and greet to make sure our dog Breck was comfortable with their dog. They were very communicative and sent pictures to show all the fun Breck was having. He came back happy and very tired ! :) we will definitely be reaching out to Steven and Diane for future services”
“Carine & her family took care of my Zeus, and I would definitely recommend. She sent updates, photos, and little videos at a regular basis to let me know how he was doing. He was happy & comfortable with them, and I would rebook. Thanks so much!”
“Leslie was the best. We found her last minute after our dog sitter cancelled. She treated our dog like one of their own. So flexible, sent me great pics throughout the week. My dog was so well cared for and so loved. Highly recommend!”
“Peg and Greg cared for our poodle mix, Winnie, for 5 days while we were in NYC. We received lots of pictures and feedback about Winnie’s stay, and we always felt comfortable that she was being well cared for. She had lots of walks, playtime and naps…just like home! We were very happy with our experience and appreciate such caring sitters.”
“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”
“Mary is absolutely the BEST! Our family is SO thankful that we found such a caring person to watch Teddy while we are away! She sends daily pictures, gets Teddy outside and on walks, and we know Teddy is having so much fun with her dog Izzy! We truly could not ask for a better dog sitter! We plan on booking with her again and again! Thank you Mary!!!🩷”
“Andrew and his girls are amazing. They cared for Max for a two week stay and we couldn’t be happier with the care, communication and flexibility. Andrew sent regular photos and reassuring messages to put us at ease that Max was having a great time. Max was extremely well cared for and happy and healthy when we returned. We will use Andrew in the future. He’s our go to!”
“Kristen and her family were incredible to our dogs. They were very accommodating to their needs. They allowed them to chew up the toys we brought for them and were cool with the mess that came along with it. The treats that were provided were given out. Kristen was very flexible with drop off pick up time. I was pleasantly surprised to see my dogs were not the excised to see me when I returned to pick them up. Which truly tells me that they were given a ton of love attention and affection. I’m very thankful that they watched our dogs. I definitely will use them again.”
