“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“Ashley D was amazing for Bentley. A no kennel option was the only way for us and Bentley slept peacefully in a home with other playmates and a great dog sitter. This was the first time I had used Rover and despite user error on my part, Ashley was so kind and patient with me learning the platform!”
“Lori is wonderful. She made Lucy feel at home. I got photos of things Lucy was doing when she ate and when she went out and partied and even just some cool photos of her sitting on the sofa, I felt like Lucy was in a wonderful home. Thank you so much excellent Service and I appreciate it.”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Kayleigh was amazing with our two elderly griffons. One is especially fragile, with blindness and diabetes. Kayleigh went the extra mile to make sure her finicky needs were met so she would eat and get the insulin she needs. I can’t recommend her enough. She was kind, communicative and most of all, super caring to our two babies. Thank you, Kayleigh!!!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Madelyn and Tevin watched our beautiful baby Dunkin and it was such an outstanding experience. We received daily photos and videos and we received updates on how he was doing, Dunkin had a lot of playtime and had amazing fun in the backyard daily. Madelyn is very caring and loving to our furry baby. I highly recommend Madelyn and Trevon anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Christina and her family treated my dog like their own this weekend and made us so comfortable in leaving him!! We were kept updated with texts and pictures the entire time we were gone and we know that Bruno received so much love. From reading books, to running in the yard for hours chasing sticks and fireflies, Bruno was kept busy, and shown lots of love! He could barely keep his eyes open after we picked him up from being so tired out! We will definitely be rebooking and using Christina for any of our future dog watching needs! Thank you again ?”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“We used Angie for the second time to board our Frenchies while we were out of town, and she continues to be fantastic. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with photos and videos of the girls so we never felt out of the loop. We had zero concerns the entire trip, knowing our pups were receiving the quality care they deserve. Thank you, Angie! We’ll definitely be booking with you again.”
“Sarah is very attentive to my dogs! There were plenty of updates, pics and they had a great time! Sarah is very patient with my dogs, even the naughty one. :) She responds quickly, is flexible for drop off and pick up and great at communicating. Sarah is our first choice sitter!”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“We love her! Our boys have stayed with Mackenzie twice and each stay has been perfect. Shes prompt on communication, sends pictures and updates, and makes us feel comfortable with leaving them while we’ve had trips. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“There are no words!! My dog’s age is catching up to him & I know I can trust he’s in great hands here. She always keeps you updated & always sending photos. That’s the comfort you want when you go on a trip without your dog! I can’t thank her enough for all the love given to my boy. She’s reliable, hands on & truly cares.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Tylarr provided an absolutely amazing experience. From answering all my questions, to making me feel at ease with the idea of leaving my dog with someone for a week, she made the process hassle free, and kept my mind at ease while I was out of town by sending daily updates and videos about Stinky. My dog may not have been the easiest to take care of, but she was absolutely up to the challenge, and Stinky loved the time she spent with Tylarr. Highly recommend reaching out to Tylarr, they were amazing!”

“Laurie watched my cats for a week while I was on vacation. She sent me pics every day and was very responsive! I feel so much better knowing my cats are in good hands with Laurie!”
“Misti took care of my two cats twice a day for two weeks. She did everything I asked and sent extra notes and pics at each visit. She is a great communicator! Misti even got my shy cat, Paris, into a great routine early on and was able to pet her by the end of the two weeks. I called Misti the cat whisperer for her ability to win Paris over. The house was perfect and cats were happy when we returned home. I will definitely call upon Misti for pet care in the future!”
“My kitties love Billie Jo. Every pet parent has special things that they do for their animals. I try not to bog down my pet sitting instructions with every single one of those details, of the things that I do for them. However, my cats are pretty good about asking for what they want and directing people! And Billie Jo speaks and understands their language. She follows all the instructions that I leave and, in addition, the special little requests that the cats make for her… Like turning on the sink to give them a drink because they prefer that over their water bowl.”
“Theresa is a superstar!! We mistakenly gave her a key that didn’t work and she went above and beyond to get the correct key while we were out of town. Felt terrible that we had made such a big mistake but she was very reassuring that she wasn’t going to give up on our pets. She sent us a bunch of sweet pictures every day and a very detailed update that left us feeling at ease and sure that our pets were safe, cared for, and getting lots of attention. Great communication from start to finish, we felt like she took care of our little ones as well or better than friends/family!”
“Erin took the stress out of my trip!! When I got home, Thumper was even more social and not struggling to readapt from having to go to a boarder. THANK YOU ERIN!!! Will DEF use every time I travel. EXCELLENT JOB!!!”
“Virginia was great with my cat for a week! I was a little nervous about leaving her for the first time, but she sent daily pics and updates which really eased my nerves! Would definitely book again!”
About: I respect cats' wide variety of personalities and differing levels of tolerance for strangers. If your cat loves to snuggle, we will snuggle. If your cat would be happier with me putting the food in the dish and backing away slowly, I can make that happen. I can administer meds if you let me know what works best for your kitty and am happy to play, snuggle, talk to, or leave your cat alone- whatever they like best. :)
“Brittney did such an amazing job checking in on my little man and keeping me updated on how he’s doing while I was out of the country. She’s an amazing cat sitter and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the love and attention she showed him! Would definitely recommend! ?”
“We came home from a nine day trip to our senior kitty happy and healthy. Thank you, Riley! She gave him his daily meds and made his food just the way he likes it. Pictures shows he got his required daily cuddles, too.”
About: I have had a lot of experience with cats. I was able to befriend a stray kitten and eventually get to to come inside and become my house cat. Then we took in another hurt stray cat and made him our own. I've even had a litter of kittens be born in my own bedroom that I then had to care for, and at the same time another cat had given birth outside to a litter of kittens. During that time my family was caring for a total of 13 cats! Currently caring for 5 cats indoor and outdoor.
“Amazing sitter! She was very nice, communicated frequently, gave our kitties love, and sent lots of pictures! Absolutely will be booking again 😊”
“Very grateful for Emily! She was easy to communicate with and comfortable to be around. She was a last minute savior to us as our original sitter canceled right before we left the country. She followed instructions well and it’s been so nice to see her play with our 2 cats. They love her! Would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Joey made leaving town without my fur babies worry free! Both of my dogs are in their senior years and he took excellent care of them and met them at their activity level! His love and passion for dogs is obvious and I will definitely be booking with him in the future!!!”
“I appreciated Dennis looking after my cat while I was away for a week. He came over for a meet and great before I went out of town and communicated very well. I would recommend Dennis and will hire him again if I can.”
“Jennifer was communicative! My kitty even came out and let her pet him. He's usually terrified of strangers. She sent updates and pictures! Will definitely use her again. Thank you!”

“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
About: Grew up with dogs. Had a cat. Love animals. Babysit my daughter’s dogs. Don’t have any of my own animals right now, so I can take care of other people‘s dogs or cats! I’m available all days from morning till three in the afternoon or for overnights and boarding . I can be flexible with my schedule because I am retired. I love walking dogs. I watch my daughter’s dogs quite a bit. We’ll go on walks. Have a big back yard so they can run and play in the backyard. They can sit in my lap in the house, we can play with their toys! I have a fenced backyard. I live on a quiet street. I enjoy going on walks with dogs. I don’t have any animals right now so I can take care of other people’s dogs. I used to have two dogs and a cat. They all lived to old age.
“Sending Sampson and Slinky to Christina's for the day is always an easy choice. This was their 2nd day care stay and they were super excited when we arrived at the house. It's always a relief to see our dogs excited and happy to go to Christina's so we can be assured they'll have the exercise and attention they deserve while we are attending to other things (a graduation party!). If you're considering Christina for your dog sitting needs, seriously...look no further. She's awesome.”
“Abigail is amazing!! She accommodates any need Dexter has and is an amazing communicator. I highly recommend booking with her and I will continue to use her services!”
“My dog was very well cared for and thoroughly exhausted from playing all day! This was a last minute need for care that will result in more visits! I received updates during her time with Alex and Jacquline and a detailed report of her care with a welcome to return for our happy pup. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Sunny! It put me at ease during our time away.”
About: My mom has been a trusted Rover sitter for several years now, so I grew up around this — it’s kind of in the blood. I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, you name it, so I’m comfortable with just about any animal you bring my way. I have a large fenced backyard, a clean and pet-friendly home, and a very playful environment. Every stay includes treats, toys, and whatever adventures we can get into. I also have three dogs of my own — a Beagle, a Chihuahua, and a Shar-Pei — so your pet will always have company and will feel right at home within minutes. Your pet will be in good hands — I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy it.

“Sarah was amazing. This was our first time with a Rover and Lexi felt comfortable and apparently did well. I appreciate Sarah being patient with Lexi as she navigates our new schedule and doggy daycare.”
About: While this is my start of professional dog sitting, I’ve been watching family and friends’ pets for many years. I even fostered a dog with behavioral issues a couple of years ago. My dog is my whole world and any pet in my care gets the same attention. I WFH most days, going into the office for a half a day every Wednesday and 3 full days at the beginning of the month. My job doesn’t require me to be glued to my computer so I can be very flexible with my schedule most days. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to runaround. For wet or cold days, I have a mostly empty finished basement for playing. For dogs that want daily walks, I live in a safe neighborhood where I walk my own dog multiple times a day.
“James was amazing with Nikko, he care for him 5 days a week for 2 weeks while I was at work, he would send updates with pictures throughout the day which I appreciated. Definitely will book James again.”
About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.
About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 13. I'm 35. There's plenty of space in the house and a fenced in yard. I am currently staying home for the summer with my 4 year old son. We will be home full time! Let us help with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and a basement if the animal needs space. We will take the dogs out regularly. They will be safe and loved here.
“Melissa was fantastic!! Our boy Lando had a great time. When we dropped him off we could tell he would be in good hands. Melissa was even able to keep Lando a little while longer than originally planned on short notice. We would absolutely trust her to watch Lando again!!”
About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences. I’m dependable, organized, and know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like one of my own. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own Huskies and Samoyed every single day. Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.
About: I’ve had yorkie’s, dobie’s, lab’s, shepherd’s and schnauzer’s. My little Stevie passed away in April after 13 years together. She can’t be replaced so I’m looking to fill the void by caring for others while my heart mends. I have a lot of free time without a set schedule so there is always time to snuggle and play and go for walks together. I have a 4’ tall fenced yard with neighbors that have dogs too. I stay outside with the dogs and do not leave them alone. Dogs will have the run of my house and are allowed on the furniture and the beds too.

“Kamila has been taking my Goldendoodle on walks while I am at work and has been so amazing! She communicates very well with me and has been so flexible with my nursing schedule. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was younger than 10, with experience ranging from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m comfortable with multiple breeds, different energy levels, and unique routines. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or special care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Hi, I’m Madeline! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet son, who recently started school, and I’m looking forward to filling my extra time with something I truly love: animals! I’ve always had a big heart for furry friends and believe every pet deserves patience, love, attention, and plenty of cuddles. 🐶🐱💕 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐾💗
About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I do work for the school district 11am-1:30pm but I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. Any drop offs and pick ups will need to be before 9am or after 2:30pm I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs through the years and find joy in going for walks around the neighborhood and playing and meeting every single dog I see. I work full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week and my other 4 days I love having something to do whether that is going on walks, popping in to make sure dogs have everything they need and having potty breaks. During drop ins or walks I like to follow the owners instructions carefully so that each pet can maintain their normal routines and reduce stress. I make sure each pet has water, any food they need, toys if able, exercise, and attention. With walks I stay very mindful of potential dangers or triggers to avoid any unwanted situations and pay attention to any sins of overheating, exhaustion or discomfort. During drop ins if a pet uses a crate I always make sure it’s locked and checked before leaving as well as leaving the surrounding how I arrived and with locked doors. It’s always fun to send the owner updates and pictures of their pet while away to ensure they are safe and getting the care they need.

“Theresa is amazing! Ivy loved her at our meet and greet immediately. We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to feed, walk and spend time with Ivy one evening. Theresa was excellent with communication and she took great care of Ivy! We will use her whenever we are in town!”
“Abigail was simply amazing with the dogs! She was very good with them, send frequent updates when she walked them, including pictures! You could see the happiness in their faces, and that they were enjoying their time with Abigail. It was a huge relief to know that they were being taken care of when I couldn't be there for them. I would recommend Abigail to anyone!”
“Joey is fantastic! My dog immediately seemed drawn to him and he communicates well with me so I can have some peace of mind. Very consistent, very caring, I appreciate you Joey!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from dachshunds to English Mastiffs! I grew up with a dachshund, Great Danes and mastiffs, and have spent years caring for them as well as having foster experience through the humane society. I also have a cat! I'm a remote worker who typically works nights and weekends. The nature of my job allows me to have the flexibility to move around with your dogs during the day, and throughout the shift! I am unable to house your pets at my own home, however, I am more than happy to take care of not only your pets like they’re my own, but also your home. I’m very particular about how I leave the house after my visits, and your pets safety is always a top priority to me.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own and have been caring for dogs for over 10 years. I have experience at a dog boarding/daycare facility as well as boarding in my own home. I am currently unavailable on weekends but, I can care for your fur babies during the week before and after work! Monday-Friday 6a-8a and 2:30p-9p I do walks and drop in visits.

About: Hi, my name is Philip and I love dogs. Through my life so far I have always been jealous of my friends whose parents allowed them to have a dog. But I take every opportunity that I can to play and care for dogs That being said, I have helped care for a couple of neighbors dogs and take them on many walks. One of them was German Shepherd puppy that I even was able to train and I grew quite attached. Whenever I am able to move out I plan to get a German shepherd for myself because of how much I loved my neighbor's puppy. I am currently working part time so I have a good bit free time on most days. I can walk or dog/cat sit weekdays and weekends most of the time until I get a full time job! I can care for a pet in your own environment however you would like me too, I'm very open and flexible as long as I have clear instructions and resources. I'm up to almost any task!
“Dependable, knowledgable and kind are the key words I would use to describe Jennifer's service. She has cared for our puppy twice, both times she walked him with her own dog, fed him and played with him. I came home to find a happy content puppy. Thanks Jennifer!”
About: Growing up I always had some sort of pet whether that be my bearded dragon, leopard gecko, cats, dogs, birds, all of it. I recently lost my disabled kitty but he taught me lots about medication administration, accessibility, and so many more things that are needed when working with a disabled or any kind of medical condition in pets. I now have a kitten and thankfully my childhood dog is still alive which I’m very grateful for. I’d love to spend time with your babies too! I live in Columbia because my boyfriend goes to Mizzou, but I currently am not working anywhere, so I can help you out anytime, anywhere:) I am very careful when it comes to pet safety. Like mentioned earlier my baby, Theo, is disabled as well as special needs. He takes medication and has to have certain accommodations around the apartment just for him. Making sure he is safe is a big priority as well as a big priority for your pet too!

“Michaela has been walking my dogs twice a week since November. She is always on time, my dogs wait for her every day! Every day! They love Michaela, returning home exhausted and happy. She even cleans their muddy paws when they come home! Perfect dog walker.”
About: *Please make sure your profile is accurate. I cannot accommodate pets that don’t get along with other animals.** I’ve had dogs my entire life and until recently was working at a vet clinic. I love animals and look forward to being able to help you with your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule. I am available early mornings, mid-day/afternoon and late. I am open to long term or short term needs. Please make sure that your pet is dog friendly. Thanks!! ❤️ I do have a dog, Lola, who is very social and has yet to meet a dog she doesn’t want to play! I live in a townhome and do have a small fenced in outdoor area. I work remotely and can accommodate most schedules. I am able to walk early mornings, mid day and any time in the evenings as needed. I am able to walk as often as needed. Pets are treated like family and allowed on furniture as long as they aren’t chewers and pretty much have free range.

“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“Ashley D was amazing for Bentley. A no kennel option was the only way for us and Bentley slept peacefully in a home with other playmates and a great dog sitter. This was the first time I had used Rover and despite user error on my part, Ashley was so kind and patient with me learning the platform!”
“Lori is wonderful. She made Lucy feel at home. I got photos of things Lucy was doing when she ate and when she went out and partied and even just some cool photos of her sitting on the sofa, I felt like Lucy was in a wonderful home. Thank you so much excellent Service and I appreciate it.”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
“Madelyn and Tevin watched our beautiful baby Dunkin and it was such an outstanding experience. We received daily photos and videos and we received updates on how he was doing, Dunkin had a lot of playtime and had amazing fun in the backyard daily. Madelyn is very caring and loving to our furry baby. I highly recommend Madelyn and Trevon anyone that needs a pet sitter.”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“Christina and her family treated my dog like their own this weekend and made us so comfortable in leaving him!! We were kept updated with texts and pictures the entire time we were gone and we know that Bruno received so much love. From reading books, to running in the yard for hours chasing sticks and fireflies, Bruno was kept busy, and shown lots of love! He could barely keep his eyes open after we picked him up from being so tired out! We will definitely be rebooking and using Christina for any of our future dog watching needs! Thank you again ?”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Michelle has a big heart for the dogs and spoils them with lots of love and toys. She has 2 adorable dogs of her own. We were happy to know she has a 6ft fence to keep my fence jumper in and safe. Both my dogs seemed happier and more at ease when we picked them up opposed to boarding. We would love for Michelle to watch our kids again sometime. Thanks!”
“We love her! Our boys have stayed with Mackenzie twice and each stay has been perfect. Shes prompt on communication, sends pictures and updates, and makes us feel comfortable with leaving them while we’ve had trips. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“There are no words!! My dog’s age is catching up to him & I know I can trust he’s in great hands here. She always keeps you updated & always sending photos. That’s the comfort you want when you go on a trip without your dog! I can’t thank her enough for all the love given to my boy. She’s reliable, hands on & truly cares.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Tylarr provided an absolutely amazing experience. From answering all my questions, to making me feel at ease with the idea of leaving my dog with someone for a week, she made the process hassle free, and kept my mind at ease while I was out of town by sending daily updates and videos about Stinky. My dog may not have been the easiest to take care of, but she was absolutely up to the challenge, and Stinky loved the time she spent with Tylarr. Highly recommend reaching out to Tylarr, they were amazing!”
“Sharon was amazing. She treated Ducky so well. He went on walks; he learned new skills, he had playtime with other dogs. We received terrific pictures, too ?. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Sharon, thank you and your husband so much for treating Ducky like your own. We're are very appreciative. From - Darrell, Dionna, and Ducky ??”
“Once again a great stay for Nelson. This time he knew where we were going and got excited when I turned into Noreen's neighborhood. I got plenty of picture updates of Nelson throughout his entire stay. He enjoyed the walks and playing in the back yard. It snowed and he loves the snow. I highly recommend Noreen and will use her services again in the future for any trips I may have upcoming.”
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Alex & Jacquelynne’s house, and they are so good with her. They are our first choice when we are needing someone to care for her.”
