“Shelanne was AMAZING!!! Harper has found her new vacation home :) I received updates and photos/videos daily. Easy booking, priced reasonably, great communication and wonderful first meet. Large backyard for dogs to run and play. She even took our baby on walks. We will definitely be booking again!!”
“Riley, our mini goldendoodle, had a fantastic time staying with Ashley! He was joined while he was there with several other small dogs, and he clearly had a great time playing with them. When we picked him up after four days, he was very happy to see us and also clearly exhausted from so much playtime. Ashley sent us a picture every day so we didn’t worry and gave us a helpful list of things to pack when dropping Riley off. She was always communicative and very responsive, would definitely have Riley stay with Ashley again.”
“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“Kristen and her family was very welcoming to my baby Oreo. The communication was both prompt and clear. She sent many pictures of Oero the whole time. I definitely would recommend her. And hopefully we can use her again.”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“Eileen took great care of my boys while I was away. She kept in contact via texts, pictures and videos throughout the week. This was important since I was able to keep my mind on a nice relaxing vacation. When I picked up the boys, she had groomed them. They looked handsome and appeared to have a good time. I would definitely book with Eileen again. She really cares for my puppies :)”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dog over the weekend. From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our furry family member was in such loving and capable hands. We received updates and photos, which made us smile and reassured us that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear that they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that means everything to us. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Deidre, her husband Chris, their kids, and their dog Cannoli! Our Ollie is afraid of most people and things, but they made him feel so welcome and he was calm and starting to open up during his stay with them. EXCELLENT communication from Deidre! We are so happy to have found another home for Ollie when we need one. Thank you so much for caring for our baby dog!!”
“I was nervous leaving our girl for the first time - but from the moment of our meet and greet- Carrie made everything feel so comfortable. She has a lovely family, lives on a farm with three sweet pups. Ellie was treated like family - from relaxing on the recliner with her husband to sleeping in her bed. I’m so grateful she was so well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Carrie again. She was very interactive with me throughout Ellie’s stay which was very reassuring. Thank you Carrie!!”
“Ashley took great care of our dog while we traveled for a little over a week. She was very responsive and constantly sent updates and pictures. We knew he was in great hands and will definitely be using her in the future. Thanks Ashley!”
“I can’t stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone when you’re on vacation. That being said Jenny and her family took such good care of my puppy Teddy. When I saw the pics each day I could see the love she gives to her fur clients. I had a nice vacation knowing he was living his best life with Jenny. I highly recommend if you need a like home environment Jenny will not let you down. I definitely will only use Jenny in the future. Thanks Jenny Teddy will miss you💙”
“Kara took great care of our Gilly guy while we were away. She sent updates morning and night with details about how his day/night went along with pictures. The pics were the best bc we were really missing our guy and the kids loved seeing the pics each day. Would definitely rebook with her. It was super easy and painless the whole time”
“I’ve boarded Murphy with April and her family 2x and it’s been a great experience. She always keeps me up to date with how he’s doing and he takes very long naps when he gets home - that tells me he had a lot of fun. Murphy is looking forward to his next stay!!!”
“This was Betsy’s 1st vacation. Janet & Ken were so wonderful with her & us!!! The pictures & videos they sent us were wonderful. Janet & Ken are the absolute best!!! Our girl was well loved & cared for. She even became Ken’s shadow 😂.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life. I can’t help but love on dogs. They have so much to offer and live so deeply. I work full time during the week. Once I’m home and on weekends I am all about loving on my own Willow! We love to play and go for walks as much as possible. Usually by bedtime we are both exhausted. I do not have a fenced yard but we live in a quiet development. Since we are in the back it is safe. Dogs can have free roam of the house if they are potty trained. We do have small area sectioned off for our own pup that we can use if not potty trained. Our own pup is crated trained and in her crate when we aren’t there as well as at night. We prefer the same.
“Thank You Raquel for taking care of Harper on such short notice. My husband was hospitalized and I wasn’t able to take care of Harper on my own. Raquel responded quickly was able to take Harper on as a new client pup and did a great job. Harper loved the time she spent with Sadie running around in their back yard. Thank you for all you did for my family and Harper. You were a life saver when I needed it. We will definitely be utilizing Raquel again.”
“Sarah and Anthony are the best! Won’t take my babies anywhere else! Charli and Nash enjoy their time so much when they are there and they become part of their family! Thanks for taking such great care of them! See you soon!”

“Kari was wonderful with my two cats! She followed all care instructions and gave my girls plenty of love and attention while I was away. She also sent lots of pictures so I knew the cats were cared for and happy. I’ll absolutely be calling on Kari again!”
“Val was very attentive to our cats during our time away and kept us up to date on their activities. They were much less stressed on our return compared to other times we’ve left them in the care of others.”
“Thank you so much to Joanna for taking such wonderful care of our cat. He became very attached to her and clearly liked her a lot. Joanna did her job very responsibly and on time, listened carefully to all our wishes, and always sent us photos of our cat. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend Joanna to everyone. We will definitely reach out to her again if needed.”
“Julia is a superstar. We had to go on a trip for 6 days and our cats had never been left in someone else’s care, so we were a little anxious how everything would go. Julia asked a lot of great questions beforehand and when our spicy cat gave her 2 days of hiding and hissing, she was very sensitive and caring (others would have given up!). By the end, both our boys looked forward to Julia caring for them and I am convinced they miss her. She took care of our boys like they were her own. She also sent us daily updates and photos so we could check in on how things were going.”
“Gianna was a super cat-sitter! She was timely and responsive to texts and really seemed to connect well with our kitten, Bubba. Gianna did everything that we asked of her (food, water, litter box, playing toys, sending a picture during her visit) and even left us some things for Bubba and a sweet note for us when we got home. If I could give her more than five stars I would. I hope to ask her back again the next time we need someone to stop in for him! Gianna was a real find!!!”
About: I have 5 lovely cats at home, all raised by me and my husband from between 0-5 months old! 4 of them were found outside hurt, sick, and malnourished; and the 5th was born right on our living room floor. We have bottled/syringe fed three of them, administered varying forms of dewormers, and given them the fur/nail care routine of their dreams. I take pride in pampering our cats, and am looking forward to pampering yours too!
“I chose Regina for my first experience using Rover, and I couldn’t be more pleased or grateful. She truly must be special—our cat typically hides when someone comes to feed her, but she happily came out to see Regina and even enjoyed being petted. Regina provided detailed updates and photos, which gave me so much comfort knowing our cat was in such good hands. Rover made the booking process easy and offered several great options in our area, but I’m confident I chose the very best. Thank you, Regina, for your exceptional care!”

About: Hello, I'm Paige and I am new to rover but I have three years of dogsitting experience as well as having a dog of my own. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry friends! I'm currently working part time, so there is plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pups. I am free on weekdays or weekends, whenever you need me. When dogsitting, I make sure to give the dogs daily walks as well as exercise through playing. I always make sure they are getting affection because I know they are missing their parents.

“Kandyce was super communicative, on time for each check in, took a lot of great photos of our cat and was prompt and responsive when we needed updates. Truly a pleasure to have over and will keep her at the top of our choices for the future. Thank you again!!!”
About: I’ve had cats throughout my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, my family had a cat that I helped care for every day. After she passed away, we welcomed another cat into our family, and I continued helping with feeding, cleaning the litter box, grooming, playtime, and making sure she was happy and comfortable. Now that I’ve moved out, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily care, attention, and patience that cats need. I’m experienced with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box maintenance, interactive play, giving lots of love and attention, and recognizing when something seems out of the ordinary. I know every cat has a unique personality—some are playful and social, while others prefer a quieter approach. I’m happy to care for cats at their own pace and will always treat your pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Christina did a great job but with one little hiccup. The different foods should have been in separate bowls. My bad for not specifying that! Over all we sre very happy with her.”

I'm comfortable caring for both puppies and senior dogs, including those who need extra attention, medication reminders, or a slower pace. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love, play, and companionship while you're away. I currently work remotely as a disability resource coordinator for student with disabilities. My hours are very flexible daily, allowing amble time to care for, walk, play and spoil your beloved pet. Your pets will have free and open space to roam, relax on the couch, sun on the enclosed and fanned patio, or simply lay out and enjoy being a dog in our home. In your home, your pet will be cared for as you would care for them.

“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs, cats, and basically any animal pet you could think of since I was 7 reliable family and I would say. Also I have fostered about five dogs since moving out of my parents house. I love that I can provide a loving, caring, and comfortable environment for any pet. ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a currently stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet in my care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, or simply providing companionship, I can be consistent and attentive throughout the day. I understand how important it is to stick to each pet’s normal routine, so I’ll do my best to follow your instructions and schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I’ll carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules (if needed), exercise routines, and any other preferences you have for your pet. I believe in building trust with every animal by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to become comfortable at their own pace. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I do offer boarding at my farm. I only take up to 2 dogs at a time. We do a few walks everyday around the 8 acres. They get plenty of yard time. Every dog gets a specialized program with me and one Free training session. Does your animal need meds? No problem. If I can syringe a horse, I can handle a cat or dog (and have) I also LOVE cats. I have had a many cats in the last 28 years. House cats, barn cats, baby cats, old cats. I currently have 2 cats that were ring worm kittens from Paws. I finished up their treatment and adopted them. I can wrangle a barn cat that’s 1/2 feral to go to the vet or get it’s flea/tick meds. Don’t count me out if you have cats! They like me as much as I like them! I have taken care of pretty much any house pet from rats, to ferrets, parrots and snakes. I have had many tropical fish tanks too. Horses, cats and dogs are not my limits. As long as I’m not previously booked, I will be able to accommodate you. It never hurts to ask. I try to stay pretty close to home so I can fit in as many visits as possible but I do have great transportation. I keep safety in mind at all times. I am always aware when I’m walking a dog and will not let them mingle with other dogs or people. I always make sure water is fresh and plentiful. I am very cautious to avoid and loose animals. Your pets health and care are my career and my number one concerns.
“Liz is super nice and took great care of my Ollie! She kept us updated throughout the day and sent pictures too. Ollie and her dog, Kyle, got along well too! Definitely will use her again!”
“So far so great! This was our first booking and it went very well! Shelann was welcoming and wonderful with CLA. She has a grand home and backyard. There was plenty of play at the home and the dog park. More than enough videos and great communication. Definitely recommended!”
About: I have had a family pet (cats, dogs, fish) my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family as well! I also am a foster for a local cat adoption non profit. I work from home, and have the ability to keep your furry family company throughout the day and ensure frequent breaks to go for walks and get outside as needed. We have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for playing and exploring! We also live on a dead end street with sidewalks, perfect for safe and quiet walks outdoors.
About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.
“Adrienne was great! She does not know this until now but she cared for him just as I wanted. I look forward to working with her again and will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Donna is such an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous but Donna is very thorough and knowledgeable about dog needs. She knows what is normal and abnormal so I felt comfortable leaving him with her. She also has a strategy to minimize stress for the dog during hand off and plays calming music when he first went in the house. I will definitely use her again if I need. She also sends pics which makes me feel reassured.”

If meds need to be given, I can do that as well. A meet and greet will be required.

“Wonderful job! Marcia is very kind, and her kids are awesome with Roswell. I like the family environment she provided to Roswell, and the much access it was given to Roswell. He felt like home. Once we made back home Roswell was ready to go to bed after a playful day. He had a very good time with Marcia and her kids. 100% recommended”

“Nicole is absolutely fabulous with our Cole. She is extremely reliable, and she has such a great understanding of dogs. Our guy is still young and can be aggressive. Nocole has really been a positive influence on him and he is not barking at dogs or people as much on his walks. She is so extremely friendly and personable. You will love her.We do!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. My friends always ask me to train and teach their dogs tricks every time they get a new puppy.

Trust that your dog is in great hands I’m in school part time and it’s also online so I’ll have lots of free time to play and engage the puppies.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have a dog named Romeo who is 4 years old. I have learned that dogs deserve patience and quality time, of course love. I have watched others dogs, family and friends, and they have always been happy with the outcome. I have experience in cleaning, playing, feeding the right amount of food, and caring. I am an assistant manager at Exit 4 Escape Rooms in Glassboro. I consistently work 2 days a week within the days Wednesday through Sunday. Those hours range from 5:30 pm to Close (the latest being 10:30.) I also am a party princess/performer so I may have a gig on the weekends and I may be out for a couple hours. When I have a confirmed gig(s) If I am not available at all that day due to multiple, I will update my schedule immediately. I try to keep up with it on here. My household has 3 Dogs, including a fenced in yard. When I let them go out to use the bathroom, I will stand outside to make sure they get inside safely. Around their dinner time, one of our dogs has a separate food bag because he has food sensitivities so I make sure to separate their food and give them a specific amount of food that is good for them. I will play with them all the time, give them love and treats, and make sure they are content. (I will be the only caretaker, no one else in my household will be accompanying me!)

About: For the past 4 years I have been pet sitting and dog walking for multiple families and have 3 dogs of my own and 3 cats. I have two boxers and a great dane, and I am a true animal lover and would be thrilled to be able to take care of your fur babies! I am a very available, I do work night shift 2-3 nights a week 7pm-7:30 am. I am usually up early as well and open to any times. At other people’s homes I make sure to follow whatever rules are given, and I respect boundaries that are given as well. Along with that, I always keep watch on animals that I am walking and or sitting.
About: Hi!! Animals have pretty much always been at the center of my world! I grew up in a pet-filled home with (not all at once!) six cats, two golden retrievers, a hound dog, a black lab, rabbits, hamsters, and cockatiels over the years, so caring for animals has never felt like a chore to me. It is genuinely one of my biggest joys. These days, I have my darling Moose, my sweet Vizsla mix rescue who would happily lay on top of me all day and night, and Penny, my bonkers torti cat who is a firecracker with a chronic upper respiratory condition. Between caring for my own pets, pet sitting for family and friends, watching my dog-niece, caring for pets while nannying for several families, and being a ........ member, I have experience and confidence with animals of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. It’s important to me that they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away! I am happy to handle walks, playtime, feeding, litter boxes, overnight sits, taking them on adventures, cuddle duty 🫡 , and keeping your pet’s regular routine as normal as possible. I also have hands-on experience administering pills, liquid medications, insulin injections, eye drops, and topical treatments, along with basic wound care, tick removal, and general health monitoring. I have had many animals that needed extra medical care, including my chunky girl Pudge, my rescued diabetic senior cat who needed insulin and close health monitoring. I carefully follow all instructions and will always stay calm and level-headed in any unexpected situation! Professionally, I work in middle-school special education and behavioral support. Patience, consistency, attentiveness, and remaining calm are HUGE parts of my everyday life, and those skills very much naturally translate into my caring for animals. I understand that every pet communicates differently, and I always take the time to learn their boundaries, routines, comfort level, and personality! I am genuinely the person who pulls over for a lost dog, takes in a stray, or gets overly excited when I see a doggy head out of a car window. In fact, I’ve done all of those things many times😂😂 Your pets will never feel like “just another booking” to me. My goal is for them to feel happy, comfortable and cared for, for your home to be taken care of respectfully, and for you to relax knowing your babies are in genuinely loving hands. ☺️🦮 My schedule works really well for pet care! During the school year, I work at a special needs school Monday through Friday from 8:00am–3:00pm, so I’m available for afternoon and evening walks, drop-ins, and day or overnight sits. I’m also available on weekends, school holidays, winter break, spring break, and throughout the summer when I’m completely off from school! I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will always be upfront about my availability before booking! I primarily care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and relaxed in the environment and routine they already know! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite toys, hiding spots, and all the funny little things that make them them! I’m happy to take dogs for walks around their neighborhood or, with your permission, bring them to a nearby park or trail for a little extra adventure. I carefully follow all instructions, keeping doors and gates secured and of course using the leash or equipment you provide, etc. I’ll treat your home respectfully, keep everything clean, and send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love!
“Devon is a trust worthy sweet caring person who luvs animals. She not only walks my dog. She takes time to entertain him. He gets so excited when he knows she’s there to care for him. This I truly appreciate! I’ve been a reoccurring customer now for several months.”
“Logan has been amazing ! She is very reliable and has been a huge help with checking on my dog and my cats as well. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for someone reliable and who has great communication.”
About: I’ve had my own pup since I was about 9 years old. Bathing, feeding, playing, training and walking was all apart of my responsibilities. I love all pets honestly and I also love taking care of them! I always treat them as if they’re your own child. I’m currently a college student with some free time on my hands! I’m available most days of the week including weekends if service is needed; Availability can be worked upon. I can bring treats and or dog/cat food if needed! If your fur baby needs simple training, I can help with that as well. I’m friendly and patient and have no problem with adapting.

“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“It was our first time booking this sitter and she was absolutely amazing. She sent me lots of pictures of my dog 🐶 and updates on how she’s doing. She was very quick in responding to my messages and very kind. My girl 🐕 came home the happiest. She had her best time there. I have rebooked this sitter for next month and will 💯 book her again in the near future. Can’t wait for my girl 🐕 go on another staycation at this sitter’s place. Cannot recommend enough. ❤️”
“I was nervous leaving our girl for the first time - but from the moment of our meet and greet- Carrie made everything feel so comfortable. She has a lovely family, lives on a farm with three sweet pups. Ellie was treated like family - from relaxing on the recliner with her husband to sleeping in her bed. I’m so grateful she was so well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Carrie again. She was very interactive with me throughout Ellie’s stay which was very reassuring. Thank you Carrie!!”
“Ashley took great care of our dog while we traveled for a little over a week. She was very responsive and constantly sent updates and pictures. We knew he was in great hands and will definitely be using her in the future. Thanks Ashley!”
“Kara took great care of our Gilly guy while we were away. She sent updates morning and night with details about how his day/night went along with pictures. The pics were the best bc we were really missing our guy and the kids loved seeing the pics each day. Would definitely rebook with her. It was super easy and painless the whole time”
“This was Betsy’s 1st vacation. Janet & Ken were so wonderful with her & us!!! The pictures & videos they sent us were wonderful. Janet & Ken are the absolute best!!! Our girl was well loved & cared for. She even became Ken’s shadow 😂.”
“Thank You Raquel for taking care of Harper on such short notice. My husband was hospitalized and I wasn’t able to take care of Harper on my own. Raquel responded quickly was able to take Harper on as a new client pup and did a great job. Harper loved the time she spent with Sadie running around in their back yard. Thank you for all you did for my family and Harper. You were a life saver when I needed it. We will definitely be utilizing Raquel again.”
“Sarah and Anthony are the best! Won’t take my babies anywhere else! Charli and Nash enjoy their time so much when they are there and they become part of their family! Thanks for taking such great care of them! See you soon!”
About: I am very good with dogs, because I pay attention to their body language. Dogs communicate through their eyes, body and barks. Similar to a person using sign language. Most communication is non-verbal and I definitely pay attention and make sure I treat every furry friend with respect and love. Dogs have feelings and like to socialize in healthy environments and that is what they will get with me as your dog sitter and / or dog walker. I will take your dog walking, I will check-in on your dog and play ball or tug of war with them, if that is what they like to do, I will provide water refills and food refills, even mix food upon request and follow instructions specific to your dog's need. I like to take dogs to the park, go jogging with dogs, belly rubs, hugs and playful affection. I like making dogs feel important, so they know they matter. This way, they feel happy and fulfilled while you are working or away on vacation, or away for that day or moment running errands. I am currently an entrepreneur. Trying to start my own pet business. Served, previously in the United States Air Force. Used to have an emotional support dog for 14 years who is no longer with us due to old age and health problems. That was my peace and joy who helped me through difficult times in my life. I actually feel happy spending time with dogs. Running with dogs, playing ball with dogs, training dogs, walking dogs, dog sitting and playing, cuddles and hugs! I make dogs feel important because they are our fur babies who deserve the best life can give them! I will give your dog fresh water, food, medication; if necessary, pay attention to their body language to figure out what they need from me to feel more comfortable and supported. If you have instructions or a routine I will follow those set of guidelines. I will keep all owners well informed with updated photos and possible videos on how their fur babies are doing! If they need a bathing that is extra, but I will clean your dog thoroughly after playtime. If, you want me to take your dog to the park, I love doing walks and runs in the park with your fur baby! Get all the extra energy out, so when you come home they are well satisfied and content. I have a house and a yard. Yard is not fully fenced in yet, but currently working towards fixing it or getting a new fence. My house is dog proof to keep all fur babies safe and happy, but there are always other options available to keep your dog as comfortable as possible. Depending on the service you hire me for pertaining to your pet.
“Darcy was well taken care of by Shannon and her family. She had lots of attention and fun playing with their children and dogs. There is a nice big fenced backyard with plenty of room for running and exercise. We received lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend Shannon and will book her again soon!”
“I had to leave my dog Leroy with Aubrey for a few days in September, and was very pleased with the care she provided. She has a spacious home with a fenced-in back yard for dogs to run around. Her Border Collie Ollie seems to intuitively understand how to get along with other dogs, and was a very nice companion for Leroy's stay. I would definitely rebook with Aubrey.”
“Butterscotch was in great hands with Brooklyn! She treated my corgi shiba like her own, and I loved receiving regular photo updates. Butterscotch felt right at home with her, and I couldn't have asked for better care. This was my first time using the Rover app and I’m so glad it was a wonderful experience for my puppy and I. I would highly recommend Brooklyn for future bookings and for anyone else interested in a pet sitter!”
“It is obvious that Cecily loves what she does. She is very responsive and has a heart of compassion. I highly recommend her. I had a peace of mind knowing Neko was in her care.”
“Annette and Martin watched our Niko over our four day vacation. From the moment we met them for the meet n greet, it was clear that they were the PERFECT hosts to watch our baby while we were gone. They clearly love the dogs they host and were communicative every step of the way. We received pictures and saw videos of Niko's vacation and never once felt sad that we had to "leave him". Upon pick up, Niko was very relaxed (not the normal hyper dog that we pick up). He was reluctant to leave and made his rounds to his new "FRIENDS" before we left (he usually cannot wait to leave). This was hands down the best experience we've ever had with any "boarding" and will not only will I recommend dogvacay.com but will give a glowing reference specific to Annette and Martin to every dog owner I know. We WILL book again with you guys! THANKS! ** Side note** This is the perfect host for a pet parent boarding for the first time. Annette and Martin are always available and very flexible. They were in constant communication with us. They realize your dog is your "child" and they treat them as if they were their children! If you are booking a vacation be sure to book with Bark and Breakfast Inn LLC!!”
“I highly recommend Yajaira!! She was warm and welcoming and treated my dog like he was part of her family! She communicated with me often and sent pictures!! I will definitely be using her again😊”
“OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.”
