“We knew when we left our goldendoodle that he would be in excellent hands, and he was. We received several updates throughout the week with pics. If we texted, we received a quick response from Judith. This was our dogs first time away, and Judy and her husband made him feel welcome and comfortable. He especially like playing with their beautiful dog, Cotton. He was happy and in excellent heath upon our return. We will definitely book again!! Thank you Judith and Allen for taking such good care of Percy!!”
“I couldn't be happier with Kayla and her family taking care of our babies for 10 days. We received daily updates, tons of pictures and our oldest baby needed medication twice a day. We were so concerned over this, we almost canceled our trip. Kayla and her family are our heros. Not only did they give the meds as prescribed they had to take care of 2 other shiu tzu's who crave tons of attention. I'm so happy our babies found a home away from home. I couldn't ask for a better family. We thank you and will definitely book you again. if u will have us. 😁”
“Dana is amazing. Leaving my Maxwell with her was a great decision. She provided me with lots of updates the entire stay including plenty of pictures. Maxwell is a pretty timid dog but she was able to get him to open up and even socialize with her dog Bailey. She’s such a warm person, it felt like i was leaving him with a family member.”
“I've been using Rover for about 2 years and Cheryl was by far the best dog sitter I ever used! Not only did my dog have fun with her dog, but she was boarding an additional dog and they all enjoyed playing with eachother all weekend. Every photo she sent me of my dog showed him having fun and playing. Her and her husband really love animals and it showed. My dog didnt want to leave! I was so happy to find Cheryl because I go out of town pretty often and now I dont have to keep searching. She is amazing and your dog would be lucky to stay there!”
“Alyssa and her husband are the absolute best! I never have any concerns when my baby is with them! They give her all the love and cuddles. They are patient with her. They even notice how much better my puppy is doing with her skin allergies. If you are thinking about booking them do it! They are some absolutely amazing people!”
“Bozena was a great sitter for the time she had Nemo with the inclusion of constant photo updates. Bozena welcomed us into her home where Nemo was going to have plenty of company with the kids being around. The fact that Bozena was able to take care of some other dogs while Nemo was there also added to his stay. Nemo also seemed to have a great time in her yard prancing around as he wished. He exerted so much energy during his stay that once we got home he slept the whole afternoon. She may be a bit far out to some folks, but I definitely recommend Bozena if available.”
“Cinthya took care of my dog Pumpkin for a weekend and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures! My dog loved it and looked very happy and well taken care of! Will definitely book again”
“We were extremely pleased with Monica taking care of Walter. She did a wonderful job, and had no concerns the whole time we were gone. I would definately recommend her and would use her in the future.”
“This was our second booking with Jeannette. This time, it was for 2 weeks. We had many reservations about taking a 2 week vacation out of the country without our puppy Archie, but Jeannette made us feel at ease. She was in regular contact & sent us daily updates which allowed us some comfort in knowing Archie was in great care. We've been home now for a couple days & Archie did not skip a beat.. he maintains his regular routines & schedule. Thank you so much Jeannette!!”
“Monica and her family were awesome sitters for our furry kid, Dusty. She kept us informed and took such good care of our little guy! Would definitely use again in the future!”
“Thank you so much for watching Astro. Very communicative and polite. She sent pictures daily and updates, which was much appreciated. She even went out of her way to help with an unexpected ear issue. Would highly recommend.”
“Wes is like a dog whisperer to our Nikko who is typically extremely anxious. But with Wes, he has always seemed comfortable. We’ve been working with Wes for about 3 years and appreciate how he only keeps one dog at a time. And today he really helped us out with a last-minute request. We highly recommend him to care for your pet!!”
“Heaven sent!! Christal (and her sweet kiddos) were a true blessing. My dog landed in the perfect home while we were vacationing. The communication was prompt, from the moment I requested her services (at 4AM), Christal answered and took in my puppy that same afternoon. He was well cared for, seemed happy with his daily walks and play time. I appreciate the photos I would receive throughout the day. I recommend Christal and will definitely reach out to her when I need a pet sitter. Christal: Thank you SO MUCH! Max sends his love to you and your family!”
“Alejandra and her husband were more than accommodating for our two pups. We had a 9-night stay set up with them and they sent multiple pictures and video every day, making us feel secure and worry-free for our whole vacation. We will definitely be contacting them again!”
“Hunter was very respectful and willing to help out with my pup if he suffered from seizures. Although none occurred, she was reviewing all the notes to make sure she was ready. I am grateful to her willingness to make sure my pup was well cared for. Would book again!”
“Corinna was amazing! Very professional, very loving towards my dog, and always kept my dog entertained. Highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better host for our pup, Chloe! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”
“Gabriella was such an angel, and her doggo was a total sweetheart, to my anxious pup! Thank you so much for taking such good care of her that she didn’t want to leave 😆”
“From the moment I booked with this sitter and had our initial video chat, I instantly felt good vibes and positive energy. She has a dog of her own, and it was clear that Chloe got along with her wonderfully. Throughout the stay, the sitter kept me updated with photos and messages, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Debra was amazing! She was able to accommodate Meg at the very last minute. Her passion for animals was shown immediately when I arrived. 10/10, I do recommend and I will more than likely use her again in future.”

“Jennifer always does a great job with our 3 kitties. They have special feeding instructions and 1 gets medication. There was a slight change in medictions. Jennifer volunteered to drop by before the Rover engagement started to make sure she understood what to do. I heartily recommend her.”
“Annemarie was an amazing sitter! We got a ton of photos from a single drop and it was obvious our cat was getting lots of attention and care. We’d happily book with her again!”
“Nataly did a great job with caring for JT. She did everything as instructed, even while it was a slight late notice. She did a great job in allowing JT to feel comfortable as he is pretty shy boy and it takes him time to warm up to others. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies if you ever need someone to drop by and give them some company.”
“Savannah provided reliable care for our cat. She was prompt, efficient and followed all of our instructions perfectly. Our cat was very responsive to her and we appreciated her caring, professional attitude.”
“We are so glad we found Anna! She is just the sweetest person and our cats love her (and one of our cats doesn’t like anyone!). Anna is flexible, punctual, and a great communicator. Highly recommend her and we will be using her again!”
“We have booked with Jordan a handful of times and are so grateful to be working with her. She takes wonderful care of our kitties and our home. I was stuck internationally for a few extra days and Jordan was able to continue caring for our cats while I was away. She also helped us discover a water leak in our house and took steps to help reduce the damage. Thank you Jordan!”
“Nadezhda was an absolute angel! She has watched my little Sebastian a few times and everytime she has been so amazing. Great communication- always sends pics of my sweet boy and his food. She even went by my apt to check and see if my wet food had been delivered and unboxed and put in my fridge! She is so easy to work with and so kind. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone!”
“I booked Joann for the first time over the Christmas holiday when none of my usual sitters were available, and I’m so glad I did. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. My cat Mani warmed up to her quickly and clearly felt comfortable in her care, which put me at ease while I was away. Joann also went above and beyond by bringing in packages and even starting my dishwasher; all little things that made a big difference when I came home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Keegan was so helpful with my kitten! She came and met him before, played with him during her check ins, and made me feel comfortable about leaving him at home.”
“Mylene is absolutely wonderful!! She is consistent and communicates so well with pictures and details. Being gone for such a long trip, I felt so comfortable having her come to my house everyday and look after my cat. Will absolutely use her again!”
“Kristin was an amazing cat sitter! One of our cats was dealing with some health issues before we had left, Kristin was very attentive and was there twice a day to give him his medicine. Very detailed updates and tons of cute pictures! We truly feel like she cared for our cats like they were her own. 10/10 recommend!”
“Rachel did an amazing job watching our two cats while on our honeymoon! She sent pictures so fast after every visit and was quick to respond to any messages or questions we had. I recommend her 100% and would definitely use her again! I could tell she took the time to play with and love on our cats, and they look very happy in every picture!”
“Laura was a huge help with my cat when I went out of town for a few days. She sent lots of pictures and updates and made being away much less stressful!! Highly recommend!”
“Minh was amazing taking care of our babies as always. She always goes the extra mile and makes it a point to communicate everything going on while you’re away!!! We always appreciate her commitment to caring for our kitties as we do, and will definitely look forward to booking with her again in the future if possible.”
“I absolutely love leaving my baby at home with confidence and not stressing my entire trip away. Veda was definitely a cat whisperer and was able to get my anxious baby to take her meds well.”
“Jillian is so sweet and attentive! I’ve been a repeat customer for some time now, and my dogs absolutely love her. I truly appreciate all the updates and the wonderful care she provides. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again soon! 🐾❤️”
“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”
“Chelsea was great! We loved having Chelsea look after our cats while we were away. We have two very shy and skittish cats. They must have sensed her kindness because they warmed right up to her! One of our cats has some special needs and requires an evening medication. Chelsea took care of everything. Meds, meals, litter boxes and cuddles. We came home to a happy house <3”
“Sarah couldn't have done a better job then she did she had good communication with me she really went above and beyond what my expectations were for her she was so helpful she really took good care of Thor and my apartment looked great when I got home thanks again for everything i really appreciate it and I'm definitely going to hire her again in April when I go on my cruise if she's available”

“Alicia & Don are a sweet and very nice couple. They took care of my sweet boy and he was very happy. They keep me update and sent me pics of my boy. I am so happy o was able to find a nice family to take care of my boy when I need it.”
About: Hello, Rover world! My name is Gerardo, and I am the proud human to Elle and Tayter Dot. I am here to find fun playmates for my girls by hosting your pets. Since I'm already a dog parent, I'm already doing the dog routine - feeding, walking, playing, etc. Adding your pup to the routine will be pretty natural as a result. Hubs and I work from home, so we are actively spending time with your dog no matter what! We ask that your pet be housebroken. If they have a crate, we can add that to our routine, though our girls have full reign of the house. (It's their house, I just live in it.) Your pet can expect fresh water, a clean home, a yard to run in, and lots of treats. (Maybe also a weird dog voice...sorry not sorry!) For the safety of all involved, we require a meet and greet as it is our best way to vet how your dog will get along with ours. I do my best to walk the girls more than once a day. We are regulars at various trails and greenways, as well as hanging with other friends and their dogs. My spouse and I are attentive to the needs of our girls, and will treat your dog like one of our own. You can expect your dog to be loved on, with lots of fetch in the yard, snuggles on the couch, and homemade treats for all. We also both work from home so your dog will have human and canine company through their visit.
“I had a great experience with LeNai. She was thorough during the intake, giving me a full tour and taking the time to get to know my dogs and their individual quirks. Rocko can be an anxious dog, but she took it in stride and was very patient with him. She gradually introduced him to other dogs safely and calmly, and was able to pick up on behavioral cues very well. She sent many photos and videos throughout the day to let me know they were doing well. I will most definitely use her services again.”
About: Your dog won't be alone here. There's always someone home during the day, so nobody's sitting in a crate for eight hours waiting on an empty house. We start with a walk in the morning, spend the day however your dog likes to spend it (fenced backyard, couch privileges, a lot of naps), and go out again in the evening. There's a greenway close by that we'll drive to when somebody needs to really stretch their legs. My Great Pyrenees Jira is nine and roughly the size of a loveseat. I've been doing this for ten years. I'm First Aid and CPR certified, I'm comfortable with oral medication and feeding schedules, and I have a lot of patience for senior dogs and nervous ones. If your dog has a routine that keeps them happy, tell me about it and I'll keep it going.I send photo updates on every single stay, because I know the hardest part of leaving your dog is not knowing how they're doing. A few things clients have trusted me with: nursing a pup through a stomach bug that started the morning of drop off, learning a dog's seizure plan before he ever set foot in my house, and replacing a collar a puppy chewed to pieces so her mom didn't come home to bad news. Twenty one families book with me over and over, and I'm a little proud of that one. Free meet and greet before you book, either at my place or a dog park nearby. No pressure at all. My current schedule is pretty free all week for dog boarding, and drop in/walks. If an earlier or later time I can make it work ! I can handle most pets, if they need a harness put on or muzzles for when being walked. Being crated and uncrated for walks and play time. If treats are available in instructions they will get one, I will also have my own treats on hand. Please list any allergies the fur baby may have so I am aware.
About: Just graduated school and looking to support in taking care of your animals! I work from home 3 days a week which allows me to be with your animal for all the time you need. I am patient, communicative, and willing to support in any way needed! I work from home 3 days a week and go into the office 2 days a week but for about an hour at a time. Have the flexibility to navigate your pets schedule rather than my own. I will create a safe space for your dog to play and pay full attention to your animal. Any necessary information given to my by the owner I will make sure to pay extra attention to it.
About: I have raised two Labradors from 6 weeks old until now. So I understand every phase of a dogs life. I know how to train puppies, walk super energetic dogs, and how to be patient. I love and appreciate all dogs. I’m music teacher that only works on a per job basis. I work only 15-20hrs a week doing this so I will have plenty of time for your pup. I walk and feed them early, go to work for a few hours and come back and walk them more. I have a small fenced in back yard with a dog door. Your dog is welcome on all the furniture and all the rooms. I have dog beds, and toys throughout the house. I love giving dog milkbone treats.
“Jared was awesome! Loved that he took time to walk my dog on long walks which Buck lives and that my dog enjoyed his stay! Highly recommend Jared as he was a great communicator and really catered for my dog!”
“Olga was wonderful! Her sweet little girl got along great with my small dogs. She was very attentive and provided regular pupdates. My dogs loved staying with her and we will definitely be using her again very soon!”

About: Hi! My name is Kortney and I would love to care for your loved ones. I love animals of all types. I’ve had two dogs and a fish in the past, and now I have the world’s most gentle cat! I) I am available for house sitting, walks and play time, potty breaks, meal times, baths, and general companionship during the day/night (they get lonely too!).

“My puppy had the best time with Jane and her dogs! They played so much and it’s exactly what he needed!! Jane was really communicative and trustworthy throughout the whole process! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby Cosmo, Jane!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with a variety of breeds, each with their own unique personalities and care needs. My experience includes Siberian Huskies, Chihuahuas, Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies), Labrador Retrievers, and Boxers. Through years of hands-on care, I've become comfortable with daily feeding routines, walks, playtime, exercise, basic grooming, reinforcing good behavior, and providing companionship. I'm attentive to each dog's individual routine and committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while they're in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide attentive, reliable care while following each pet's unique routine and needs. I have a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated sunroom where pets can relax and enjoy a comfortable environment. While I do not have a private yard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with access to walking areas and a nearby dog park, allowing for plenty of exercise, fresh air, and outdoor enrichment. I also have an affectionate Ragdoll cat who is comfortable around other animals and enjoys companionship. I always prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where every pet feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I am a teacher and someone who truly loves animals. Caring for pets brings me a lot of joy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. Because of my work schedule, my availability is mainly on weekends. On weekdays, I can receive and drop off pets after 5 pm. During the day (8:30 am to 4:30 pm), I am at work, so pets would have a calm, quiet space at home during those hours. I always aim to create a warm, responsible, and caring environment where every dog feels at ease and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule during the weekdays, which allows me to plan ahead and provide consistent care. In the mornings, I can take dogs out for a walk, feeding, and some playtime before starting my day. After work, I dedicate time in the afternoon and evening for walks, attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved. I’m also available on weekends, where I have more flexibility to spend extra time with pets, including longer walks, playtime, and companionship. During the summer, I have significantly more availability, which makes it a perfect time for vacation bookings. You can plan your trips in advance knowing your pet will receive dedicated care and attention. I am very responsible with routines, so I always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from the owner to make sure their pet feels safe and at home. When caring for pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to make sure they feel like part of the family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very respectful of their space and make sure to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I understand that staying in their own home can help pets feel more secure, so I focus on keeping their environment consistent while giving them companionship, care, and attention. I always pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I adjust my care to match their personality whether they are energetic and playful or calm and shy. I am also happy to send regular updates and pictures, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands 💛
About: 🐾 A Second Home for Your Best Friend 🐾 Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I want to make that decision a little easier. My goal is to provide the kind of care I would want for my own dogs safe, loving, dependable, and full of attention. Your dog won't just be another booking. I take the time to learn their personality, normal routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and all the little things that help them feel comfortable and at home. 🏡 Home-Style Care: For boarding and daycare, your dog gets to enjoy a comfortable home environment rather than feeling like they're staying in a kennel. 🌳 Fully Fenced Private Yard: There's plenty of secure outdoor space for supervised playtime, exercise, sniffing, and potty breaks. 🐶 Personalized Attention: Whether you have an energetic puppy who wants to play or a laid-back dog who would rather relax, I adjust their day around their individual needs. 📸 Regular Photos & Updates: I know how much you miss your dog when you're apart. You'll receive updates and pictures so you can see how they're doing and enjoy your time away with less worry. 🦴 Routine Matters: I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, walking routines, crate routines, potty schedules, basic commands, and other owner instructions. ❤️ Treated Like Family: Most importantly, I want every dog in my care to receive patience, affection, attention, and respect. I offer boarding, doggy daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. Whether your dog is staying for a few hours, spending the night, or simply needs some company while you're away, my goal is for you to pick up a happy dog who's excited to come back. Come as a guest. Leave as family. 🐾 I make pet care a priority and plan my schedule around making sure every dog receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and rest they need. I don't believe in simply putting dogs in the yard and leaving them to entertain themselves. For boarding and daycare, dogs have access to my home as well as a fully fenced private yard for supervised potty breaks, fresh air, exercise, and playtime. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding, sleeping, and potty schedule so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog loves being active or would rather curl up and relax, I'll adjust their day to their personality and routine. I know trusting someone else with your dog is a big decision. I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and respect I expect for my own pets. My home provides plenty of indoor space along with a fully fenced private yard for supervised outdoor time. I carefully follow feeding instructions, potty schedules, crate routines, walking preferences, and any other care instructions you provide. I also believe communication builds trust. I'll send photos and updates throughout your dog's stay so you don't have to spend your trip wondering how they're doing. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both your pet's routine and your home. I'll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet receives the care, attention, and companionship they're accustomed to. Your dog's safety and comfort will always come before convenience.

About: Hello, I have had a dog since I was a little girl that I helped take care of back home until I moved away to college. I miss taking care of my dog. Feeding them, bathing them, & taking them on walks. I work remote most days so I’m pretty flexible with my time. I will be able to pour a lot of time into the dogs. I will let them be free in my townhome. I can also use a crate if needed. I like to let them be free. Pets are like a therapy to me so I will be playing with them and just making sure they are getting the attention they deserve and need.

About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.
“All the stars for Liam! All the positive adjectives for Liam. Reliable, kind, loving, caring, and communication was top-notch. Our dog gave Liam 10/10 barks! We’ll be hiring Liam happily again.”
“Kortney has been great taking care of my Benji. She is reliable and very accommodating to last minute changes in my work schedule. I would definitely recommend her services.”
About: About me: First off, I'm a total dog lover! I have lots of experience in handling dogs. I would absolutely love to do an interview before any actual booking with your dog so that I can assure compatibility and have a basic understanding of little quirks each dog has. Currently, I have one spunky Icelandic sheepdog. He keeps me on my toes always demanding more walks and play time. I've been dog training and competing in dog agility, obedience, and showmanship for six years through 4H dog club. It has taught me how to handle dogs in any situation that could arise. -Along with treating your dogs with the utmost respect, I'd love to send you photo updates throughout our time together so you can check up on your little fur baby. -For walks: I'm a very athletic person and am a total tree hugger. I love to spend time outside especially with dogs, the best walking partner you could have. I'm very comfortable going long distances as I am also a runner. I'm looking forward to meeting your dog! I’m new to the city and am taking a break from the 9-5 to get comfortable in Charlotte! Aside from caring for my own pup, I’m fully available to walk, play, and train your dogs! Unfortunately I will not be open for doggy day care at this point in time. When doing doggy drop ins, I will stop by and refill water bowls and take your dog for a nice walk. Mornings and evenings are best for the dogs while the heat isn’t so bad, but of course they need midday potty breaks as well. Whatever time is left over is up for the dog to decide! Some dogs prefer chill pets and others need a bit of playtime. Before doing in home visits I prefer to meet the owner and dog to build familiarity of their quirks and have a mutual understanding of what all is expected in a drop in.

“We knew when we left our goldendoodle that he would be in excellent hands, and he was. We received several updates throughout the week with pics. If we texted, we received a quick response from Judith. This was our dogs first time away, and Judy and her husband made him feel welcome and comfortable. He especially like playing with their beautiful dog, Cotton. He was happy and in excellent heath upon our return. We will definitely book again!! Thank you Judith and Allen for taking such good care of Percy!!”
“I couldn't be happier with Kayla and her family taking care of our babies for 10 days. We received daily updates, tons of pictures and our oldest baby needed medication twice a day. We were so concerned over this, we almost canceled our trip. Kayla and her family are our heros. Not only did they give the meds as prescribed they had to take care of 2 other shiu tzu's who crave tons of attention. I'm so happy our babies found a home away from home. I couldn't ask for a better family. We thank you and will definitely book you again. if u will have us. 😁”
“I've been using Rover for about 2 years and Cheryl was by far the best dog sitter I ever used! Not only did my dog have fun with her dog, but she was boarding an additional dog and they all enjoyed playing with eachother all weekend. Every photo she sent me of my dog showed him having fun and playing. Her and her husband really love animals and it showed. My dog didnt want to leave! I was so happy to find Cheryl because I go out of town pretty often and now I dont have to keep searching. She is amazing and your dog would be lucky to stay there!”

“Wes is like a dog whisperer to our Nikko who is typically extremely anxious. But with Wes, he has always seemed comfortable. We’ve been working with Wes for about 3 years and appreciate how he only keeps one dog at a time. And today he really helped us out with a last-minute request. We highly recommend him to care for your pet!!”

Daniel sent wonderful updates and pictures time to time, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kids were always happy to see her updates. Chloe had the best time playing with their two dogs and made good friends, Arlo and Deebo—they were friendly and welcoming to her from the start! She came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. We are already looking forward to booking with them again!”

They kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures, videos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time.

We’ll definitely be booking with Cody again and cannot recommend him enough.”
