Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pinckney
“We were so nervous about our first Rover experience but Lea and Brandon were absolutely amazing. I can't think of anything that we wish had been different or better and will definitely use them again. Thank you Lea and Brandon for taking such good care of our baby girl.”
“Highly recommend Evan! We booked him about a week ago for a four-hour sitting job while we went out to a show. He was wonderfully communicative and kept us updated. It gave us great peace of mind, and Rocket was happy and totally content when we picked him up.”
“From my perspective, things went great as far as Tara taking care of my dog Rio. This is the second time Tara has watched my dog while I was out of town on business. She was really easy to work with and sent me pictures showing me that Rio was enjoying his new adventure. I will definitely look for Tara first the next time I need a Dog Sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of my little guy.”
“Cameron is truly a dog whisperer! My pup Louie and I are from Georgia and were completely unfamiliar with the area, but finding Cameron was a blessing! I’ve trusted him to watch my 5-year-old twice now, and I honestly don’t think I could find a more reliable and knowledgeable sitter. Cameron isn’t just a sitter—he’s a trainer too! He’s worked with Louie and me both at his home and at the park, helping address Louie’s past aggression with strangers. The progress has been incredible—our daily walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable! Louie also has severe allergies, and I was initially worried about flare-ups and hives while I was away. But thanks to Cameron’s careful attention and experience, Louie hasn’t had a single issue. I’m beyond grateful for the care and dedication Cameron has shown. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy—especially for your first time—you cannot go wrong with him. You have my word”
“Pepper was well cared for and Katie was super patient with his reclusive behavior in a new environment. Very communicative throughout the whole stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Kelli did an amazing job with our anxious dog. It was her first time going to a sitter since she lost her big sister. She loved playing in the fenced yard and all the cuddles.”
“Mara helped us on very short notice and took amazing care of our German Shepherd, Sarge. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and even a little plump from being so well cared for! He had just started shedding when we dropped him off, and we felt bad about that, but I’m pretty sure she even brushed him out for us. She made sure he was comfortable during his entire stay and kept us updated every single day. I would highly recommend her services! Thanks again Mara!”
“Alicia and her family welcomed our dog with open arms. She sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. Cora enjoyed her stay and we are so grateful for a place for her to go when we need to leave town!”
“Chief stayed with her for 2 nights. I was so nervous to drop him off for the first time ever. When I picked him up, he was so happy and didn’t wanna leave. She sent me lots of updates and pictures. 100% recommend!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Yingfei took wonderful care of our Frenchie for 11 days, including giving her daily allergy medication and keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well loved. We would absolutely book with Yingfei again and highly recommend her!”
“I’m so thankful that I found Lynn & her husband to care for my little doggie while I was out of town. I greatly appreciate that they took the time to meet with me and Latte ahead of his stay. Lynn introduced her sweet doggies, Nellie & Bentley, to him and then spent about an hour letting the pups mingle as we talked about Latte. Lynn was very responsive to communication, she was flexible and kept me updated daily with texts & pictures of Latte. He was treated like a member of their family… well loved & cared for. I will definitely be leaving Latte with Lynn in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Destinee, and I’m currently saving for my wedding while doing something I genuinely love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, chickens etc. and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you receive updates and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Every booking helps me work toward my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support! I own and operate my own cleaning business, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. With advance notice, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play under supervision. I also have chickens, a friendly cat, and two children who have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals or children, so I’ll always discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, crate your dog if requested, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away.
“Lydia was OUTSTANDING! She treated our kitties 😸 Lilo and Finny as her own. Great to work with. I would not hesitate to book her. An amazing and caring person. Thank you for the love you showed our pets.”
“I can’t express what a great experience we have had with our Rover sitter Madhu and Bahrath. This is our first experience placing a dog with Rover and we have been beyond pleased and overwhelmed with how well it has gone. We were gone 15 days and we received updates and photos everyday. I never thought I could find someone to house sit our dog and truly know we didn’t have to worry about him in anyway. (Well one worry that he actually would not want to come home!) They really seemed to love him like he was their own, no better compliment than that!”
“Kirsten is always my Go-to. Great people and my dog loves the place. She send periodic pictures and responds promptly. Even if three is a subtle mishap she goes beyond to remedy the situation. Will be a customer to for a loooonnnngggggg time!”
“Our Pup loved his time with Dawn! She was very proficient in keeping us up to date with photos. And she was also very flexible on timing for pick up and drop off! Thank you Dawn!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or simply curling up with someone while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll treat your pets like they're part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away so you can have peace of mind. If your family includes backyard chickens, I'm happy to care for them too! I'll make sure they're fed, watered, and well looked after, and collect the eggs. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I build my schedule around providing dependable care for pets. I'm most available for long weekends, holiday travel, and short trips, making it easy for families to get away knowing their pets are in good hands. When my schedule allows, I'm also happy to consider longer stays. I always communicate my availability in advance so you can plan with confidence and know your pets will receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In our home, pets become part of the family. We have a large, securely fenced yard, a pond, and plenty of space for walks, play, and exploring. Your dog will enjoy spending time with our family just like our own furry companions do. I'm happy to follow your pet's regular routine, accommodate special needs, administer medications if needed, and provide the familiar care that helps them feel at home. When caring for pets in your home, I know that keeping their routine as normal as possible helps reduce stress while you're away. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines, while making sure your pet receives plenty of love and attention. Pets have a funny way of letting us know if we've forgotten part of their routine, and I'm always happy to listen! My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.
“I always have a good experience with Debbie! They are professional, caring, and kept me updated with pictures of my pup. I recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

“Tracy was amazing. She was so good with our kitties. She took lots of photos and gave us great peace of mind leaving our kitties under her care! We will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
“Billie was fantastic! Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She reached out regularly and sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. Additionally, she kept me informed about any packages that arrived. Billie also coordinated seamlessly with the next house and pet sitter, ensuring a smooth transition. The next sitter said the house was clean and my cat was well taken care of. I highly recommend her services!”
“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”
“Diane is the best sitter ever. Flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sends so many photos of your fur babies having fun. Next time I need a sitter they will be visiting their new friend Diane again!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
About: For the past ten years I have helped friends and family alike watching over their pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, turtles, hamsters/mice, and birds. Whatever the needs are, I am here to assist and allow you to have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I treat all pets like they are my own. I’m available for most all bookings. I am free on the weekends and weekdays. On weekdays I am usually free after 5 and weekends can be made available to suit your needs. Do you have special instructions or pets with special needs? No problem. I pay great attention to detail and can assist in the specific care you may need.
About: I am an Ace certified personal trainer. I am a very active person, so I will make sure your pet engages in lots of play time and gets plenty of exercise during their stay. I have a very large fenced in yard which will give your dog lots of space to run and play. I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!
About: Hi! I’ve been a cat lover my whole life ever since I was born, I’ve always had a cat by my side. I grew up on a farm with both barn cats and house cats, and I’ve cared for two full litters from birth. From fluffy Maine Coons to fancy Persians to sweet strays, I’ve loved them all. I’m great with cats of all temperaments — shy, spicy, or snuggly — and I know how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Cats are truly my favorite pet, and I’ll care for yours like they’re my own!
“TeAsia was great!!! I was nervous to leave my sweet guy as a first-time cat owner but she was very reassuring and made me feel comfortable with my decision. She responded quickly to messages and sent me updates and pictures while I was away! He seems very well cared for and I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and I would book again! :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pinckney
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for the past 10 years. Previous neighbors have trusted me with pet sitting and walking their dogs. I work from home so I am easily able to give your pets the care they need at all times. My 11-year-old daughter usually joins me-she’s an amazing helper! She loves all animals and they all love her! Pets & parents must be comfortable with her being part of the care team! I have a spacious, fenced-in yard and work from home, so your pet will receive lots of attention and care! Our family dog, an 11-year-old German Shepherd, sadly passed away in 2024. While we aren’t ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, I truly miss taking care of a pet. That’s why I see pet-sitting as the perfect way to share my love for animals.
About: Iv been around and taken care of all types and sizes of animals since I was little and always had such a love for them. Im currently looking for some extra work to fill my time until i have full books within my field of business. I also adore all animals and would love to spend my days with them. I have a fur baby at home who I play with and walk all the time, who love to have company over to have someone to play with.
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled.

About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience.

When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience.

About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”

We have cared for animals with special needs, have lots of experience with a variety of needs and personalities, and I have trained a service dog of my own! Your pets will be treated like family! Lots of play time, rubs and loves, treats, and snuggles! There is plenty of sidewalks and trails in our neighborhood for fun walks we frequently take our dogs on. Your pets can tag along with us if you’d like as well! Your babies are guaranteed to have a world of fun while you’re away, and come home tails wagging! We love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and can't wait to me yours!

About: Lifelong animal lover!! I grew up with dogs and have a lot of experience caring for animals. I currently have 4 of my own fur babies and fostered dogs for about 10 years. One of my pups is foster fail who is deaf and super smart; I have trained him with sign language. I will love your fur baby as my own and have plenty of experience with all shapes and sizes of breeds. Being a foster Mom comes with extra patience and care because many dogs come in broken down and my job is to rebuild them on how to be a dog and love them unconditionally. We have a large fenced in back yard with a doggy door for them to run in and out freely. Your pet will be treated as family with extra care while you are away. I currently work from home and my kids are older and don’t need me to run them around anymore. My schedule is flexible and am pretty much available at all time.

About: I've had pets in my family since I was a kid, and I have taken care of foster animals, family pets and friends pets throughout adulthood. I have taken care of pets who have medication needs and environment needs (scared of thunder and such.) I work for myself, so I am able to work around my work hours accordingly and easily to provide the care that is needed for my clients. My care is adaptive to each pet family's needs and home. I am an observant person and pay attention to the details while caring for pets. I cannot take on daycare or boarding services right now, but I am more than happy to take dogs for walks, care for cats, and pet sit while you're away.

I can dog walk any day of the week, primarily in the mornings and afternoons.

I care for all pets with love and respect. I understand that they are not just pets, but family members too and deserve the same love, care, and treatment. I maintain a healthy pet-place environment to ensure the safety of your beloved pets. If needed, I am more than willing to follow any strict schedules or regimens to make sure your furry family member is comfortable, healthy, and feels safe within their own home.

I grew up living down the hill from my grandparents farm which included cows, pigs, chickens, lots of barn cats and dogs. I was the kid that was always finding hurt or stray animals and bringing them home to care for. I live in the country and all three of our cats are strays that that my husband and I took in. We also have a dog. I look forward to caring for your pet!
“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started caring for pets around age 6 and have continued ever since. I’ve worked in an animal shelter, giving me experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and care needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for exotics such as reptiles, spiders, and birds. I treat every pet like my own and tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. Im currently available 5 days a week could do some check ins on weekends. Im unable to to boarding but can dog walk and check on pets. I am a single mother so I do have to make time for my daughter on top of loving many animals. Most days I am available after 8:30am to 2:30pm sometimes until 5pm. I have a fenced yard i would habe to do a meet and greet with the pets in my household and other pets from other homes first if I had them stay with me.
About: When I was young I started dog sitting my neighbors, families and friends dog and I’ve love it since then. Dogs are my spirit animals and they deserve the world! I work in a hospital and have a part time job. After 3-4pm I can definitely hangout with your pups. Whether for a walk or go to the park. Provide a balanced and appropriate diet for the pet based on its species, age, and health requirements. Avoid overfeeding. Always ensure access to fresh, clean water for your pet. Regularly check and refill the water bowl to keep your pet hydrated. Engage your pet in regular physical activity suitable for its species. This could include walks, playtime, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and active. Depending on the type of pet, grooming needs may vary. Regular grooming such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care are essential for their health and well-being. Spend quality time with your pet, provide enrichment activities, and consider socializing them with other animals if appropriate. Maintain a clean living environment for your pet. Regularly clean their living space, wash bedding, and remove waste promptly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. Make sure home is pet-proofed to prevent accidents or ingestion of harmful substances. Keep dangerous items out of reach and provide a safe space for your pet to rest and play.

“We were so nervous about our first Rover experience but Lea and Brandon were absolutely amazing. I can't think of anything that we wish had been different or better and will definitely use them again. Thank you Lea and Brandon for taking such good care of our baby girl.”
“From my perspective, things went great as far as Tara taking care of my dog Rio. This is the second time Tara has watched my dog while I was out of town on business. She was really easy to work with and sent me pictures showing me that Rio was enjoying his new adventure. I will definitely look for Tara first the next time I need a Dog Sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of my little guy.”
“Cameron is truly a dog whisperer! My pup Louie and I are from Georgia and were completely unfamiliar with the area, but finding Cameron was a blessing! I’ve trusted him to watch my 5-year-old twice now, and I honestly don’t think I could find a more reliable and knowledgeable sitter. Cameron isn’t just a sitter—he’s a trainer too! He’s worked with Louie and me both at his home and at the park, helping address Louie’s past aggression with strangers. The progress has been incredible—our daily walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable! Louie also has severe allergies, and I was initially worried about flare-ups and hives while I was away. But thanks to Cameron’s careful attention and experience, Louie hasn’t had a single issue. I’m beyond grateful for the care and dedication Cameron has shown. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy—especially for your first time—you cannot go wrong with him. You have my word”
“Pepper was well cared for and Katie was super patient with his reclusive behavior in a new environment. Very communicative throughout the whole stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Kelli did an amazing job with our anxious dog. It was her first time going to a sitter since she lost her big sister. She loved playing in the fenced yard and all the cuddles.”
“Mara helped us on very short notice and took amazing care of our German Shepherd, Sarge. When we picked him up, he was happy, comfortable, and even a little plump from being so well cared for! He had just started shedding when we dropped him off, and we felt bad about that, but I’m pretty sure she even brushed him out for us. She made sure he was comfortable during his entire stay and kept us updated every single day. I would highly recommend her services! Thanks again Mara!”
“Alicia and her family welcomed our dog with open arms. She sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. Cora enjoyed her stay and we are so grateful for a place for her to go when we need to leave town!”
“Chief stayed with her for 2 nights. I was so nervous to drop him off for the first time ever. When I picked him up, he was so happy and didn’t wanna leave. She sent me lots of updates and pictures. 100% recommend!”
“We had a fantastic experience! Yingfei took wonderful care of our Frenchie for 11 days, including giving her daily allergy medication and keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well loved. We would absolutely book with Yingfei again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Destinee, and I’m currently saving for my wedding while doing something I genuinely love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, chickens etc. and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you receive updates and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Every booking helps me work toward my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support! I own and operate my own cleaning business, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. With advance notice, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play under supervision. I also have chickens, a friendly cat, and two children who have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals or children, so I’ll always discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, crate your dog if requested, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away.
“Lydia was OUTSTANDING! She treated our kitties 😸 Lilo and Finny as her own. Great to work with. I would not hesitate to book her. An amazing and caring person. Thank you for the love you showed our pets.”
“I can’t express what a great experience we have had with our Rover sitter Madhu and Bahrath. This is our first experience placing a dog with Rover and we have been beyond pleased and overwhelmed with how well it has gone. We were gone 15 days and we received updates and photos everyday. I never thought I could find someone to house sit our dog and truly know we didn’t have to worry about him in anyway. (Well one worry that he actually would not want to come home!) They really seemed to love him like he was their own, no better compliment than that!”
“Kirsten is always my Go-to. Great people and my dog loves the place. She send periodic pictures and responds promptly. Even if three is a subtle mishap she goes beyond to remedy the situation. Will be a customer to for a loooonnnngggggg time!”
“Rayna & Zach took great care of our pup! They were so kind, flexible, and easy to work with! My pup didn’t want to come home with us when we got there. I would definitely recommend them and their dogs are great as well 😊”
“Taylor & Sam were amazing! Communicative, treated the dogs so well. Daily updates & lots of exercise. Also flexible because of my hectic schedule. I haven’t felt this comfortable with someone watching my dogs for awhile. Great job!”
“I was leaving my pup for the first time. I was nervous and felt horrible. But Molly and family were wonderful!! I received multiple pictures multiple times a day with updates. Made my vacation enjoyable to know my puppy was enjoying her vacation also. Will use Molly every time we go out of town in the future!!”
“Rachel and her family are amazing! So warm and friendly that I instantly connected with them and so did my male Maltese Mickey! Mickey is treated as a member of our family so when I look for a dog sitter, I want it to be a ‘ home away from home’ experience. I am so grateful to have found this with Rachel. Mickey has stayed with them twice already and we are sure to book again in the near future. I trust that Mickey is well taken care of and appreciate the picture updates I receive. Thanks So Much, Rachel!”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”
