“After our meet & greet with Beth, we knew River would be in good hands. As a rescue, his care is somewhat unique. Beth did a professional job assimilating him into her home and in meeting her dogs. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“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. She was patient with him and helped him eat which he can be hesitant to do, and send lots of pictures of him lounging at her house. He was very relaxed when I picked him up! Would definitely book again and I recommend Brenna for anxious dogs.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“First time using Rover, was in a bind and Brandi came through. Oakley loved it and felt at home with their family right away. She sent pictures and updates on how he’s doing. Very good and strongly recommended, if you’re in Carver, even a plus because Oakley does nothing like long car ride. Thank you Brandi...”
“Kona was well taken care of and was treated like part of the family while we were gone. Andrew provided regular updates and photos to let us know how it was going. I'd highly recommend him and will definitely book again.”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“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!”
“Our dog was so well cared for by Ashley and her family! She has stayed with them multiple times and we always get countless pictures of her spending time with the family, playing, and out on walks! Would highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter to anyone!”
“Our 5-year old Golden had the best time with Kimberly, John, their kids, and their Golden - the entire family gave Sunny so much love. We received daily updates/pictures to show the fun she was having - walks, fetch, tug, cuddles, outside time, etc. This was the first time that Sunny stayed with them, but won’t be the last. Having a family who treats your dog like their own is priceless. She can’t wait to go back!”
“Pluto had a blast staying with Stacey . Stacey kept him like we would , at her home and he got all the love from her and her family. When we went to pick him up he was happy to see us but was also wanting to stay with Stacey We would definitely go back to Stacey”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“Alecia and Todd are fantastic. We were a little nervous because we’ve had varying degrees of success leaving our pup with a sitter, but Alecia, Todd, and their family took great care of him. They went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable - he even made new dog friends at their house😁. Communication was a breeze and we received thoughtful updates throughout our time away. Hope to book with Alecia and Todd again!🩵🩵”
“Natalie took great care of our Milton! She was wonderful and sent us updates including videos and pictures. Milton was well cared for, which allowed for us to enjoy our vacation! Will definitely use Natalie in the future.”

“So thankful that Jennifer was available to care for my cats again! They are older and I worry about being away too long. Grateful for her helpful communication and thoughtful care. She's the best! Thanks again Jennifer!”
“Chrissy was a great sitter for our cat, Nacho. He gets very stressed when we have to board him and this was the first time he stayed with a sitter. He came home and was his usual self... and I actually think he misses her. :) She also sent us a picture of him everyday to reassure us he was doing great. Thank you for keeping him happy and safe!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”
“Jan was amazing! She did exactly what I asked and communicated daily with me, through the app and text on her visit; what she did while there, how the cats were doing, etc. She also sent pictures of the cats each day. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
“Ashly was great with my four boys and sought them out to give them some love while she was here. The photos were lovely and I could tell they felt comfort with her. I’ve already hired her for my next work trip.”
“Katie did a fine job keeping our cat loved, fed, watered, and addressing his other needs. Her visits were always prompt and accompanied with a photo. My sense is that she's more experienced and comfortable with dogs but she quickly earned our cat's attention and confidence while we traveled.”
“Jordana took perfect care of our high energy dogs when I reached out due to work travel! They clearly enjoyed her presence and were so happy in all of the photos. We will be using her again!”
“Adelaide was wonderful to work with! She cared so well for our cats and provided great feedback and pictures from her drop-in visits. She paid attention to detail, communicated well and was a top notch pet sitter! We’ll definitely book her pet sitting services again!”
“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”
“Patricia is amazing! She instantly understood my concerns about Bentley having just lost both of her people in a very short amount of time. Patricia is a cat person and quickly brought Bentley back to her place.. So grateful!”
“Joey has been fantastic. I left for a 3 week trip and she has stopped in twice a day to check up and hang out with my cat (Peaches). She goes the extra mile. Keeping me updated on how Peaches has been doing. Cleaning up any accidents outside the litter box. Taking the garbage out and bringing it up from the driveway on garbage day. She also brought in any packages left at our door. If I need a sitter in the future she will be the first I go to. I highly recommend considering Joey if you’re looking for a sitter you can count on!”

“Bagel loved her time at Carine’s home. She had so much fun with the kids and other pups staying with them and slept good at home afterward. We got lots of pics which is so fun! Thanks for taking such great care of bagel!!!”
“Moxxie loved his doggie day care visit. Annabelle was very kind and easy to work with. We got pictures and videos of Moxxie while we were away. Great place to take your loved ones when on the road away and wanting to stop by the Valley Fair for day. So convenient knowing my pet was cared for.”
“Kara is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch! Her family is out of this world as well! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Leo to spend his days while I am at work.”
“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”
“Timber had a blast playing with Haley today! Sonja and Adam sent lots of great pictures and really helped to tucker my energetic pup out. We'd love to come back again :)”
“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”
“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”
“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”
About: What sets me apart is my professional background as a Medical Assistant combined with my lifelong love for animals. Growing up alongside our family dog, Topacio, who has been with us for over 10 years, I have developed a deep understanding and gentle touch for senior dog care—knowing exactly how to keep older pets comfortable, safe, and happy. My medical training gives me an extra layer of responsibility, attention to detail, and a calm demeanor when looking after pets. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages from friends and family, and I focus on providing a structured, loving home environment. I treat every furry guest with the same dedication and affection as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a flexible hybrid schedule, working some days from home doing patient video consultations and other days from the office. On my work-from-home days, I am there to provide constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. For the days I am at the office, my schedule is highly predictable and structured, making it ideal for pets that are comfortable with a standard workday routine. No matter my schedule for the day, my evenings and weekends are completely free and dedicated 100% to long walks, fun playtime, and plenty of love! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I host pets in my home, I ensure a secure, escape-proof, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel completely relaxed. Here is how I guarantee a safe stay: Structured Supervision: Thanks to my flexible hybrid schedule, I am home several days a week, and even on my office days, my routine is highly predictable. I closely monitor all interactions, ensuring feeding and playtimes are always safe and managed. Introduction & Meet-and-Greets: I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures your pet feels comfortable in my home and is a great match for our sweet senior dog, Topacio. Tailored Routines & Care: With my background as a Medical Assistant, I am extremely detail-oriented. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special medication requirements to keep their days consistent. Daily Updates: I love sending frequent photos and updates so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving lots of love.
About: We are a dedicated husband-and-wife pet care team providing a premium, safety-first experience for your family's pets. By balancing our schedules, we ensure consistent, round-the-clock supervision, meticulous routine management, and absolute peace of mind. - What We Offer and Why People Choose Us Premium Dog Boarding: A kennel-free, loving home environment featuring frequent potty walks, structured play sessions, and on-schedule feeding. We are highly experienced in managing multi-dog dynamics safely and often care for multiple dogs in one day. - Specialized Feline Drop-Ins: Expert in-home care focusing on stress-free prescription medication administration (pills/liquids), fresh bowl rotation, daily litter box sanitization, and tailored playtime. - Small & Exotic Animals: Precise feeding and strict cage hygiene for birds, hamsters, and reptiles. - Real-Time Updates: High-quality photos and videos provided with every service so you're always connected. - Uncompromising Safety Standards We operate a strict "leash-before-the-door-opens" policy in our two-story townhouse. Because our backyard is unfenced, pets are securely leashed before stepping outside and remain leashed on all walks and park visits. - We prefer a free-roaming environment but strictly honor your preferences if you choose to bring your pet's familiar crate from home. - Our home includes two school-aged children (a toddler and a teen) raised to respect animal boundaries—perfect for pets who love gentle human socialization. - We don't just "sit" pets; we protect and pamper them as if they were our own. Whether we are dropping in to carefully administer your cat's medicine or welcoming your dog into our home, your pet receives the punctual, devoted care of two passionate professionals. - Still have questions? Let us know in our conversation during a meet and greet. Pet care is one of our daily priorities. We love animals and just want them to be as happy with what we do for them as how they want to be around us. We always treat your pets like they’re our own. We have a patio we use to hang out with our furry visitors, but mainly we keep them inside to reduce noise impact on the community.
“Perfect sitter who truly understands and follows specific care instructions. Rachel did exactly what we asked, and as a result, everyone—the dog, the sitter, and us as owners—was happy. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be unsure whether their dog can be properly cared for.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every dog like part of my family. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting belly rubs, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and having fun while you’re away! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Your dog’s day will include plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. Depending on their needs, we’ll go for walks, play with toys, and enjoy some relaxing downtime. I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs needs! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company.Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.

About: **We stay pretty busy with our current dog families, so we may not be available to take your dog. Our first priority is the current families we work with.** **Our speciality is dogs 30 pounds and under. Please consider other Rover sitters for medium size dogs before you request care from us.** We've been watching dogs through Rover for almost 2 years now. We have many families that we watch their dogs frequently. Their dogs are excited to come back to our home, and we treat their dogs like family. They receive lots of love, attention, and care. We love our current Rover dogs and families. They are precious to us. Prior to Rover, we took care of our friends' pets as well as traveled to pet-sit in various US locations for about 8 years. My responsible teen & tween children love all animals. Just don't ask us to watch your pet centipede or ostrich!! We will take your dog on walks and give it lots of belly scratches and snuggles. If your dog likes to sleep on a bed, my middle daughter would welcome it to her full size bed. She's the one your dog is sure to bond to as she has a natural way with dogs. We are a homeschooling family, so we are home a lot (when we aren't traveling ourselves). We enjoy being outside and would welcome your dog to join us on walks and hikes. If your dog likes to go for drives, we can do that too. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced in. Our neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so we go for both short and long walks. My kids are gentle with pets and like to treat them like royalty.
“Ann has been an absolute dream dog sitter. I know my dog is in excellent hands and I bring him every week. I recommend Ann to anyone, even those like me that is extraordinarily particular about who watches my dog.”

“Jan is just the best! She is so awesome with our 10 year old dog. She loves her, sends cute pictures of their time together and is a wonderful person to hire to be with your dog in any situation. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old and I love all animals! I have trained all of our dogs and they have had long, happy lives.

“Jordana was very quick to respond and awesome with our puppy! Our puppy can be slow to warm up to people, but she was patient and flexible to what our dog needed. We would definitely use her again, and recommend her to anyone! :)”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. From our neighbors cat who we invited to our birthday parties as kids, to the 3 precious dogs I’ve had the honor of being a mama to. Nash (weimer) left us in 2019 at 12 years old. We just said goodbye to Oliver (Puggle) in August of 2025 at 17 years old! And we currently still get to love on Riggins, our 10 year old Frenchie. With Nash and Oliver living such long lives, I have experience caring for all ages, from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time as a sales executive, so my flexible schedule allows me to step away as needed for care. I am also an early riser, so I am available to breakfast feed an walk early. My dogs are my babies, so I know the importance of having someone to rely on. If you need me to drop in and/or feed or give medicine, potty break/walk etc. at a specific time, I understand how important it is to not be late. If they need something at 3:30, it will be 3:30, not 3:45.
“Avery is reliable, professional, and friendly. She was helpful when I needed to make a couple last-minute changes to the booking. Unfortunately she had to deal with a couple unexpected challenges and she was a trooper about that. I will definitely ask for Avery again!!”

I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I’m currently a college student working toward a career in nursing, and I also work as an on-call CNA. My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week and on weekends, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care. Being a CNA has taught me to be responsible, patient, caring, and attentive to the needs of others qualities I also bring when caring for animals. I’m a cat mom to Mary, and I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs while they were away on vacation. I truly enjoy being around animals and will always make sure your pet receives lots of love, attention, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority.

I have a soft spot for dogs but believe in a good home and loving environment for all pets. It is important that we remain the alpha and teach our pets that they can trust us. We will protect them out in the environment around new people, dogs, cats, cars, bikes, etc. They don't have to worry because they are our best friend and we got this!
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with two schnauzers, which helped me develop a strong love for animals and confidence caring for different personalities and energy levels.

“Ashley has been easy to work with, super timely, and great with our dog. I highly recommend her. Our shepherd/husky Max is an energetic guy and he instantly liked her. Max can sometimes be a handful, and this was no problem - Ashley’s a pro with big dogs. Max came back from his walks happy, smiley, and calm. Thanks Ashley for your care!”
About: I have a special love for animals and have been relied on by friends and family for many years to help out with their pets when needed. I am able to take care of pets of any age or breed, but am especially good with senior care. I am available to come help out after 5pm during the week, outside of my other job hours, and am available all day on the weekends.

About: Pets make life better! They are family. If they behave well, they should be spoiled! I have always had dogs. I grew with up with dogs and now I have my own. I have never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, but I really enjoy them! I care for my friends two cats frequently. I love caring for, playing, and walking animals! I love getting outside to walk. I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I also enjoy playing with feather or ribbon cat toys! I am good with any age animal. They all need love and attention! My dog is 2, so I have been through the puppy stage recently. He has a lot of energy so I know how much exercise dogs need.

I’m happy to care for your dog in your home, or if they’re child- and pet-friendly, they’re welcome to stay with us as part of the family! Experience & Trust • I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets, and I’m committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for them. • References and a background check are available upon request, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

I am committed to providing the same trusted care for your pets that I bring to my community every day.

“After our meet & greet with Beth, we knew River would be in good hands. As a rescue, his care is somewhat unique. Beth did a professional job assimilating him into her home and in meeting her dogs. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“First time using Rover, was in a bind and Brandi came through. Oakley loved it and felt at home with their family right away. She sent pictures and updates on how he’s doing. Very good and strongly recommended, if you’re in Carver, even a plus because Oakley does nothing like long car ride. Thank you Brandi...”
“Kona was well taken care of and was treated like part of the family while we were gone. Andrew provided regular updates and photos to let us know how it was going. I'd highly recommend him and will definitely book again.”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“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!”
“Our dog was so well cared for by Ashley and her family! She has stayed with them multiple times and we always get countless pictures of her spending time with the family, playing, and out on walks! Would highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter to anyone!”
“Our 5-year old Golden had the best time with Kimberly, John, their kids, and their Golden - the entire family gave Sunny so much love. We received daily updates/pictures to show the fun she was having - walks, fetch, tug, cuddles, outside time, etc. This was the first time that Sunny stayed with them, but won’t be the last. Having a family who treats your dog like their own is priceless. She can’t wait to go back!”
“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
“Kiersa is very easy to work with, responds very quickly to messages and is very pleasant and professional! Benelli seems to really like her, glad the initial visit went so well, will definitely book again!”
“Kara was absolutely wonderful with my dog! Her dogs played so well with mine, and they had a great time together. She has a spacious fenced-in backyard where the dogs could safely run and play, and she made sure my dog got a walk every day. I also really appreciated the daily photos and videos that Kara sent. This was my first Rover experience and she gave me peace of mind and let me see how much fun my dog was having. Kara was caring, attentive, and treated my dog as one of her own. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“The entire experience with Regina (and her family) was as if I'd left my beloved Rocket at my dog-loving sister's home! There was an immediate trust bond between Regina, myself, and Rocket -- as if Rocket knew she was "home." Regina's affection and comfort with animals (including the very HIGH energy type like my Rocket) was evident from the start, and she graciously extended a welcome to me as well, walking me around the property and showing me the places where Rocket would be staying. I left with the greatest confidence that my girl was in a good place. Rover Support and Expectations: I received photo and video updates. Any communication from me was answered within minutes of my sending. Unexpected changes to my itinerary were received and graciously accommodated, and Regina maintained a flexible and fluid disposition with regard to scheduling, which allowed me to make on-the-fly adjustments to my day plans for cycling and adventuring. The price for the service Regina provides is more than fair. I highly (highly!) recommend her service, even knowing it will be that much harder for me to book my own time with Regina again in the future. I'll deal with that -- Regina is the sitter to choose!”
“My two dogs had a great stay with Shelby. Winnie loved her two daily walks and Nuggett loved to opt out of the walks and chill instead. They came home happy campers!”
“So grateful our Dane puppy got to stay with Steve and Diane while we were away for 8 days. It was clear he had a great time and they were super communicative and sent photos. They were also flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to push back a day.”
“Chelsi did great with Hazel! She gave us many updates (videos & pictures) as to how Hazel was doing! Chelsi is also great with responding to messages in a timely fashion! She great with making accommodations if your pet needs them!”
