“Michelle was so great at sharing pics so I could see how much our Brady enjoyed cuddling and being part of her family for Labor Day weekend. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“We have left our Bernedoodle with Bryanna multiple times, and he absolutely loves it there. This past time, after we opened the car door, he sprinted up to them, and never looked back. He couldn’t have been any more excited, and that means so much to us dog parents. Bryanna is amazing with communication and daily updates. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“I'm certain Barkley and Coco had a great time. They were clean and tired:) Brooke sent us pictures as agreed. I will definitely be using Brooke in the future.”
“This was our first visit and the first time my dog has ever been boarded. Kathleen was wonderful—she sent pictures and letting me know that Kenzie was doing fine…which really helped put my mind at ease. She went out of her way to make both me and my Kenzie feel comfortable about being apart. So grateful for the care and thoughtfulness!”
“Karen and Terry are awesome! They took care of my two shih tzus, who are not very socialized with other dogs, and they did awesome with them. I was so much more comfortable and at ease knowing they were with someone all the time, rather than being boarded and alone and separated most of the time. Karen also sent pics and videos the whole time and that was so nice to have. When I picked them up I could tell Opie and Tori had been very well cared for, and they were happy! You can definitely see that they are animal lovers and care for them as their own. I am so happy to have found them and will definitely not hesitate to use them the next time I can't take my babies with me. Thank you Karen and Terry! 5 Stars All The Way!”
“Claudia makes my puppy feel right at home. He enjoys playing in her fenced backyard with her dog Tango, and she's very good about sharing photos and updates on his stay. It's like a home away from home for him. I feel fortunate to have found a good dog sitter like Claudia.”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!”
“Our dog Honey just stayed with Nancy for the second time and we couldn’t be happier! Her entire family treats Honey so well and we know she gets lots of love while we’re traveling which is a huge comfort. Nancy is the best!”
“Bear seemed comfortable and happy with Richard and Alison and their two dogs. They were good about sending updates and photos too to let me know how he was doing.”
“Paisley’s favourite place to go. She is treated like family and misses theirs when we bring her home. It is such peace of mind when we have to travel for work that Paisley is taken care of and loved.”
“Whenever I can't take the pups, I know I can count on Myra! She gives me updates and plays with them in her fenced-in yard. My dogs love Myra! She's a wonderful, dependable person to watch your fur babies while you're away.”
About: I got my first dog at 15 and have never gone without pets since. I have service dogs and I’m comfortable with working breeds and the training that is associated. I also have a cat, several reptiles, and some misfits critters. There’s really not much I won’t be able to handle given enough information concerning your pet. I’m also a former medic and have plenty knowledge for special needs animals and identifying emergencies. Pet care is the start and end of my day, a lot of my schedule revolves around my mini-zoo. I’m a part time worker with full control over my schedule which allows me to focus deeply on my animal’s needs. I care about my pets as if they are family. Their activity levels, training, affection, diet, and rest are an every day concern. Others pets would be seen the same way and given the same level of care. I have plenty alternative means of caring depending on the pet personality as well, I.e. kennels, separate or same rooms, special walks and even some training thrown around in.
“Lawrence definitely took care of my and my dog'a needs! He had a very calm and mellow vibe that he projected onto my pup. He provided daily updates and photos, which were great! Would definitely use Lawrence again!”
“Anamika did such a great job taking care of our boy. We had a slight horror story with another sitter, but Anamika made sure to keep a good eye on Mars and kept us updated multiple times a day with his care, disposition/demeanor and even his poop lol. We will definitely book again for any other trips and refer her to others.”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”
“Would give more stars if I could. Scarlett was amazing! Camo had a great time, I had regular updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease leaving him. Will absolutely be using Scarlett again.”

“We are so thankful to Madison for checking in on our cat while we were away for our wedding. It meant so much to have someone there for her while we were enjoying the biggest day of our lives. She did everything we needed her to do while there and our cat warmed right up to her!”
“LaJuan did a wonderful job occupying my active cat over the long weekend. She played with him, and send daily videos and pictures to keep me updated while I was away:)”
“Brianna was amazing to our furry friends and home! She went above and beyond and even took care of one of my dogs who ended up getting sick while we were away. Definitely will be issuing her again for our sitting needs!”
“Kristina was SUPER nice and sweet! She did amazing with our dog Ranger and sent us as many updates on him through the few days that he stayed with her. She was prompt and understood my need for reassurance as this was a first for me. Ranger had a GREAT time and made some new friends. When we got home he was pooped and ready for bed. We will definitely be coming back to her anytime we are in need of a sitter. Thank you soooo much Kristina for taking care of my baby!”
“Haley came by for 3 drop-in visits to care for our two cats during the holiday weekend. Everything went as planned and she even made sure to find our cat that likes to hide to make sure he was okay. She cleaned the litterbox when needed and tried to play with the cats during the visits! If available, I will likely be booking Haley again for future visits!”
“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”
About: I have experience with many kinds of animals! I am insured, trained in first aid and CPR and I am a state licensed wildlife rehabber. I am also well versed in medication administration, geriatric care, seizure disorders, and some auto immune conditions. I will care for your kitties as I do my own!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Christina D. provided an outstanding cat sitting and house sitting service for us through Rover.com, and we couldn't be happier with her care for our beloved feline friend. We entrusted her with the task of looking after our cat for three days and two nights, and she exceeded all our expectations. Christina went above and beyond to ensure our cat's well-being and comfort. She diligently followed our feeding schedule, making sure our cat was fed approximately every three hours throughout the day. Her commitment to our pet's routine was truly remarkable, and it gave us peace of mind knowing that our furry companion was well taken care of in our absence. Moreover, Christina's compassionate approach ensured that our cat never felt lonely during our time away. She provided companionship and attention, keeping our pet happy and content throughout the duration of her stay. Her genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction, and it's clear that she takes great pride in her role as a pet caregiver. In addition to her exceptional pet care skills, Christina was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She was understanding of our schedule and made adjustments to ensure that our cat's needs were always met. Furthermore, she kept us updated with regular photo updates, allowing us to stay connected with our furry friend and enjoy our special occasion in another state stress-free. Overall, we cannot recommend Christina D. highly enough for her outstanding cat sitting and house sitting services. She is a true professional with a genuine passion for animals, and we wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with our pet care needs in the future. Thank you, Christina, for your dedication, reliability, and exceptional care!”
“Lauren is very sweet and personable with my both my boys and is understanding of my needs as well. I have one love bug and one wild child and she handles them both perfectly by letting them out to play and potty but recognizes when they’re too hot and will rub bellies on the couch to keep them company. I will be using Lauren weekly from now on which is of great help with my hectic schedule. It’s been so comforting knowing my boys aren’t left home alone too long and that my home is in good hands while she’s here <3”
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Lawrence was great with my pup, and Sully absolutely loved him! He was super easygoing, attentive, and followed all of my care instructions perfectly. I never had to worry while I was away because I knew Sully was in great hands. I really appreciated the updates and the care he gave my dog. I’ll definitely be booking with Lawrence again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’ve been providing pet care through Rover since late 2017 and have nearly 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of all ages, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. I understand that every pet is different. Some want to play fetch for an hour, some prefer a leisurely walk, and some cats would rather supervise me from across the room. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and pets that require medication. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break, taking your dog for a walk, or spending the day with your pup in daycare, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention. Communication is a big priority for me. You’ll receive detailed Rover cards, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own and work hard to earn both your trust and theirs. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, daycare services, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and punctual. Whether you need ongoing care or help while you’re traveling, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep your pets happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, pay close attention to each pet’s routine, and provide regular updates throughout my visits. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to provide the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”

“Kathy is so sweet & very attentive with my dog. She's also great at communication, which I've found to be a rare occurrence on Rover. She cares for other dogs while keeping mine, but I would never know if she hadn't told me! She sends pics throughout the day & promptly updates time cards. She's so compassionate & truly cares for my fur baby's wellbeing. I highly recommend Kathy!”
About: The daughter of a Deputy Sherriff canine officer, I have grown up my whole life loving animals. I would love the opportunity to love yours while you're away. I am a stay-at-home mom and will provide full time care for your pets in my fully fenced back yard. Your pet will enjoy freedom and security while here with love and a family who all love pets. I have a fully fenced back yard and am willing to crate your pet if you prefer to ensure they have the least disruptive experience while away from home.
“My pup had the best time with Nancy, Coffee & family. The fenced in yard was great for her to run around off leash & I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie in Nancy’s care. Winnie played fetch & even received a special treat. Nancy’s family is very friendly & Winnie is excited about her next visit!! Well.. after her long nap! Haha.”
“I cannot rave enough about Lynann. I am VERY overprotective of my, almost 15 year old, dog and Lynann did an AMAZING job at putting my mind at ease regarding leaving my pup with her. I received updates and pictures throughout the day for my dog and she came home exhausted and happy. I would highly recommend Lynann to anyone looking for someone to care for your pup. She is definitely our new go-to dog sitter.”
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog during several daytime visits. She is highly knowledgeable about dogs, especially those with separation anxiety, and she knows exactly how to handle sensitive situations with calm confidence. Her communication is clear, consistent, and straightforward. She was also extremely accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable and reassured every step of the way. It was clear that our dog was in capable, caring hands. I highly recommend her for both pet sitting and training.”
About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.
“This is the second time we’ve left our precious pup with Bethany. Our dog is super high maintenance and there is no one else I would ever leave her with. If you need a sitter look no further. Bethany will take care of your pet like it’s her own!”
“I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.”
About: Since birth grew up with a family dog, German Shepherds, a Lab, and at 10 years old I was given responsibility for my own dog a Maltese, Le Petite Pookay( Pookie for short). When I went off to college my Mom stole(inside joke) adopted her and I haven’t had my own dog since but over the course of the past 20 years Ive watched plenty of friends and family dogs and pets. Some claim me to be the Dog Whisperer as even shy pups seem to gravitate towards me. This last year, while transitioning to the Charlotte. NC area I stayed with a Rover host and helped out. And now that Im in my own place, a two story townhouse, I’d love to continue to host and care for your fur babies. I really miss having a furry family member around but truly excited for the opportunity to take care of your animal loved one. I do know about providing excellent customer service, the importance of integrity and working hard with the importance of humility. Service is the heart of who I am and know the special bond our family furries hold in our lives. I can't wait and hope to care for your furry loved one soon! I work from home, so my availability to host is flexible and open. I also, don’t leave the house too often for long periods and will be attentive to caring for your pet. My first floor level is open for your fur baby to free roam, but can also crate if preferred. I have a few areas with tile for easy cleaning. In addition, I have a backyard with some enclosure but have a tie down to attach to collar or harness for first and last pet relief but my subdivision has a dog walk trail for walks and extended exercise.
“I had no doubts while Odie was in their care. Constant communication and updates kept me confident in our furry family member's care. Odie was happy upon our arrival for his pickup and I couldn't ask for more in a daycare stay. I wish we lived closer as I would most definitely use them for services again!”
“Stacey was wonderful and Baby Hutch had such a good time with her and all the other pups at Daycare!! I will definitely be taking him back!! Thank you Stacey for helping me with a 7 week old puppy on such short notice!! You made me feel at ease and I knew he was in good hands!!”
About: I love dogs and what they bring to our life! Your pup will hang out with a friendly and energetic 5-year old Golden Retriever, his name is Tango and he is great with other dogs! We have a large fenced in yard and we spend lots of time playing ball and chasing squirrels. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pup. I only host one family at a time to make sure I give plenty of attention. I live in a neighborhood with lots of pet friendly walking areas. I have a large fenced in yard and pups are welcome in all living spaces at the house. They are allowed in beds and couches. If your pup is used to sleep in a crate, please bring it with you! For the safety of Tango and other dogs I do require a copy of vaccine records as well as flea, tick and heartworm preventive all being up-to-date.

“I couldn't be more pleased with Maddison and the exceptional care she provides for my furry friend. She’s incredibly reliable, always showing up on time and with a genuine enthusiasm that my dog absolutely loves. Her attention to detail, from following specific instructions to ensuring my dog gets plenty of exercise and playtime, is unmatched. Her professionalism and kindness have truly made a difference in both our lives. I highly recommend her services to any dog owner looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!”

About: Hey Ya'll! My name is Kim, I recently moved to Troutman, NC from Oklahoma! I am originally from the East Coast and have a German Shepherd & Lab Mix.

I work from home and have been looking to reasons to get out of the house- so I figured, why not help you....because I know how stressful finding a pet sitter can be!

“We just hired Kristi as our dog walker, and she's been wonderful right from the start. Our dog is pretty shy with new people, but Kristi was patient and gentle, taking the time to let her warm up instead of rushing things. By the end of the first walk, our dog was already more comfortable with her. It's clear Kristi genuinely understands dog behavior and knows how to put a nervous pup at ease. Really glad we found her!”

“Bethany has been walking my dogs for over a year now and she's been great! We've really relied on her while we're working long hours. She's been very dependable. I recommend her to all of my friends.”
About: As a fur mom to two, I know that it is a huge relief to find someone to love your pets the way that you would. Let me be that person!

Let me handle your furry family members while you enjoy your day! I currently work a remote job with a flexible schedule which allows for me to easily fit in drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I know that each pet requires their own form of love and attention. I will take the time to get to know your pet, what they like and don't like, and make sure that everything is handled while they are in my care. It is very important to me to build a bond with your pet so that you both feel comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m Christina, and I’m passionate about animals! We are available for daily stays during your vacation, summer stays, week days, etc. I’ve been pet-sitting for over 10 years, and it’s been a wonderful way for me to combine my love of animals with a flexible schedule. I started when I began working remotely, and I’ve had extensive experience with both in-home pet sitting and dog walking. I know how hard it can be for pets and their owners when they’re apart, so I always strive to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Keeping your pets active and entertained is one of my top priorities, whether it's a fun walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your animals during the day. Plus, my fiancé , Jeremy, assists me with my services. Jeremy works full-time remotely in IT, which allows him to help with pet sitting and walking whenever needed. This means your pets will receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s for a short stay or a longer period, we’re happy to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets are well cared for and loved while you’re away. If you have any questions or specific requests, I’d be more than happy to answer them. We look forward to helping you and your furry friend! I'm a full time professional with a flexible schedule. I'm able to spend the majority of the weekdays with them and can spend all the time on in the evenings and weekends. I'm also available to check in or stay with your animals while you are in town for vacation and need coverage for a few hours. Their safety is my top priority while you are away. I keep a good eye on them and don't like to by physically away from them for long as I know it can be a hard transition sometimes.
About: I’ve had my dog for almost 8 years as well as took care of her 8 pups 4 years ago. I’ve also had over 10 dogs growing up. We love to play, take walks and cuddle. I work from home so I am able to tend to your pets needs. I also have a 5 year old daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do. I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I only leave the house for about 20 mins to take my daughter to and from school. I have one fur baby to keep your dog company. My complex has a dog park. And the neighborhood is great for walking. I also have an extra bedroom dedicated to extra pets if needed.
About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.
“LaJuan did an amazing job with my pup!!! Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure that she was well taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend letting LaJuan watch your fur baby!”

“We have left our Bernedoodle with Bryanna multiple times, and he absolutely loves it there. This past time, after we opened the car door, he sprinted up to them, and never looked back. He couldn’t have been any more excited, and that means so much to us dog parents. Bryanna is amazing with communication and daily updates. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“I'm certain Barkley and Coco had a great time. They were clean and tired:) Brooke sent us pictures as agreed. I will definitely be using Brooke in the future.”
“Claudia makes my puppy feel right at home. He enjoys playing in her fenced backyard with her dog Tango, and she's very good about sharing photos and updates on his stay. It's like a home away from home for him. I feel fortunate to have found a good dog sitter like Claudia.”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!”
“Bear seemed comfortable and happy with Richard and Alison and their two dogs. They were good about sending updates and photos too to let me know how he was doing.”
“Paisley’s favourite place to go. She is treated like family and misses theirs when we bring her home. It is such peace of mind when we have to travel for work that Paisley is taken care of and loved.”
About: I got my first dog at 15 and have never gone without pets since. I have service dogs and I’m comfortable with working breeds and the training that is associated. I also have a cat, several reptiles, and some misfits critters. There’s really not much I won’t be able to handle given enough information concerning your pet. I’m also a former medic and have plenty knowledge for special needs animals and identifying emergencies. Pet care is the start and end of my day, a lot of my schedule revolves around my mini-zoo. I’m a part time worker with full control over my schedule which allows me to focus deeply on my animal’s needs. I care about my pets as if they are family. Their activity levels, training, affection, diet, and rest are an every day concern. Others pets would be seen the same way and given the same level of care. I have plenty alternative means of caring depending on the pet personality as well, I.e. kennels, separate or same rooms, special walks and even some training thrown around in.
“Lawrence definitely took care of my and my dog'a needs! He had a very calm and mellow vibe that he projected onto my pup. He provided daily updates and photos, which were great! Would definitely use Lawrence again!”
“Anamika did such a great job taking care of our boy. We had a slight horror story with another sitter, but Anamika made sure to keep a good eye on Mars and kept us updated multiple times a day with his care, disposition/demeanor and even his poop lol. We will definitely book again for any other trips and refer her to others.”
“Would give more stars if I could. Scarlett was amazing! Camo had a great time, I had regular updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease leaving him. Will absolutely be using Scarlett again.”
“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
“Lauren did a wonderful job watching Eno and gave me daily updates on how Eno was doing. Multiple pictures of her golden Sonny and Eno hanging out by the pool together! Will be using her again for my next trip”
“Frances was a terrific host to our Golden Retriever! She maintained steady communication and lots of pics throughout the week. Our dog upon first visit, ran to her immediately like they had been longtime friends. She felt safe with her! Thanks very much Frances - we appreciate your wonderful care!”
“If you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you! It was such a blessing to go on vacation and not worry about my pet! My dog is old, blind and deaf, so I do worry when I go on vacation. If I am not near, he gets very anxious. And it is hard for him to navigate a new place. But after our meet and greet, my own anxiety began to leave. Rachel and Donald sent more than one daily update with pictures. For once, I was not in a hurry to get back home! When I picked him up, he acted like he would have been fine to stay longer. I could tell they loved on and cared for my dog as well as I do. I will definitely use Rachel and Donald every time I go out of town. Again, if you have a dog with needs, or just a dog you love, I would highly recommend Rachel and Donald to you.”
“Donald does a great job picking Duke up, watching him at his home and bringing Duke back home. He communicates daily with pictures and texts. Duke is always happy and well following his stays. Donald is our go to dog sitter and we highly recommend him.”
“We had a sitter lined up that cancelled last minute and Charles stepped up to help. He responded quickly to my request and was easy to communicate with. I could tell within a few minutes of meeting him that my pup was in good hands and was going to be well cared for. Charles took the best care of my dog. Charles is very nice, caring and friendly.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but all of my nerves went away the first day after I got pictures of Aspen and Ed having the best time ever!! Thank you so much!!”
“Caitlin did such a fantastic job with Max! Max has a very energetic personality, and I was afraid I could not find a sitter for the extended stay. Thankfully, Caitlin was able to attend to his needs and kept us updated throughout my whole trip. I highly recommend her!”
