“Amanda is very kind. She is attentive and truly takes care of our dog ( a Havanese Bichon ) as if she were her own. We received photos and updates throughout the day which we really appreciated — especially since it was our first time leaving our dog since arriving in the USA. It was a wonderful experience, and we felt completely at ease. We will definitely book with her again, with great pleasure and no hesitation.”

“Liz was great! I’m thankful for her being open to ensuring her dogs and Charlie got along. She sent me updates via the Rover app daily, which I appreciated. Everything went smooth. I’d recommend her and would book with her again in the future!”

“This was my puppy’s first time not sorting at home since I got her in November and I was terrified. Maisha offered a video call, showed me her home and where my pup would sleep, and answered all 800 of my questions. This is my first pet ever so I have no idea what to do, bring, or expect and Maisha made me feel so comfortable. Safe to say, I’ve found my dog sitter for life💜”


“Kora was well cared for, I received pics and updates throughout her stay. Great experience and will definitely reach out when Kora needs a place to stay for a few days.”

“We are so grateful for Jaina! She took wonderful care of BOTH my large pups on short notice. The minute my dogs arrived at Jaina's house for our meet and greet, they were sniffing every inch of space. Jaina was warm and welcoming, allowing them to run all over both floors of her home and explore her huge backyard. I could see she truly understood dogs and knew they would be safe and happy with her. Jaine provided my high energy dogs with lots of play, stimulation, and cuddles. She was patient and nurturing and provided me with updates, photos and videos. One of my pups was wailing and refusing to get in the car when it was time to leave Jaina's. What a wonderful experience!”


“Digdem (Dee) was very responsible and loving with Blue. Blue is an older dog and she knew how to take care of him well. She gave him his meds and his meals every day. Blue didn’t lose any weight in her care. Dee sent us pics of Blue almost every day. He hang out regularly with one of Dee’s dogs and seemed to do everything with his new friend. In the pics Blue always seems to be smiling. Dee had comfy pillow beds for him and at night he slept on one of those in Dee’s bedroom. In the evenings, Blue also watched TV on the sofa cuddled by Dee and next to his doggie friend. All in all, Dee was a wonderful doggie caretaker for Blue during our two and a half weeks of travel. We definitely will board him with her again. Miriam and Harry”

“Teresa was wonderful with our dog, who can be a bit nervous in new situations. He settled in quickly thanks to her calm approach, and it’s clear that he was comfortable and well cared for. We’re very grateful and would happily book with Teresa again!”

“Cannot thank Tracy and Steve enough for taking such good care of our dog, Peppa! It was nice to get regular updates via both photos and videos. You could just tell that Peppa was having a great time and was in good hands! We would definitely recommend Tracy and Steve whose level of excellent care gave us peace of mind. Thanks to them again!”

“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”

“I am so happy with Danielle and her care for my papa. She kept me updated on how he was doing the whole weekend. It helped with my anxiety. I will definitely be using her as my permanent sitter 🩷”


“Milena took amazing care of our dog while I was in the hospital to have our daughter. She was flexible given the circumstances and treated my pup like one of the family. I can’t thank or recommend her enough!”

“Shaun and his family take great care of our pup Skye, who always comes home happy and tired. I feel extremely confident that Skye is treated as a part of their family.”

“Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Eunice. She took such great care of our dog and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the stay. It was clear from the updates and photos that our dog was happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the kindness, attention, and genuine affection she showed. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Eunice again and highly recommend them her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”


“What a blessing! We had never left our Tumaini (Tutu) for more than a night or two with friends, so we were understandably nervous. From the very start, Manuel put our minds at ease. We first scheduled a meet-and-greet, followed by a full day with Manuel so he and Tu could get to know each other. She had a fantastic time (!!), and we knew right away she was in the best hands. While we were away, Manuel kept us updated with messages and photos, always responding quickly—even to our “we miss Tu so much” texts. He took her on three to four walks a day (which means we officially have no excuse for just three and a backyard romp—lol!). Manuel is not just a sitter; he’s now our go-to for Tu’s care, our first line of defense against worry, and the reason we can travel with complete peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our girl!”

“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”

“can’t thank Pallab enough for the love and care they gave Ashoka . From the thoughtful updates to the little details they paid attention to, we knew our pup was in the best hands. Ashoka adored him, and we felt complete peace of mind. We’re so grateful and will definitely rebook!””

“Yuberkis was great with our 2 small dogs, Keanu and Keiki, she took them in for almost 2 weeks, sent daily photos and videos, where they looked happy socializing around other dogs, or just lazing around her sofa. I would definitely recommend and book her again!”

“Katie and Zayn were amazing! My cat has congestive heart failure and needs his meds at very specific times. I had asked them to come and give his night pills while I was at work. Oliver is very shy of new people. But he liked Katie and Zayn. I have tired another pet sitter and he refused to come out from under the bed. Oliver was not like this with them. Katie and Zayn took the time to be with my cats and make sure they were comfortable. The communication they provided me was also amazing. I am a helicopter parent and they were happy to provide me with text updates. I highly recommend Katie and Zayn. I will definitely be using them in the future for any of my pets needs. Thank you again so much!!!”


“Lindsay was so great to work with! Our Poodle Pippa had major surgery a week prior so my wife and i were nervous about leaving her with someone new (she’s get too excited and tear her stitches) but when we met Lindsay we were immediately reassured. Very professional, pleasant, and responsible. Not to mention she did all of this on Thanksgiving! Highly recommend.”


“Had another lovely visit from Kyra! It’s the best feeling when you know your pet is in the care of someone who really gets them. Pets are the best judge of character and my cat loves her visits from Kyra — enough said! Thanks as always!!”

“Tina was excellent, she followed the instructions precisely. She was always on time, thorough and friendly. She sent lots of pictures and videos and communicated with us frequently while we were away. She handled our kittens with care and we were so glad we found her on rover, highly recommended!”

“Melissa was so sweet to our cat Hazel whom immediately took to her. Our road flooded and was closed due to a downed tree and she still came to feed her! I literally can't imagine someone nicer and more responsible.”

“We had a squirrel issue while we were out of town that Katrina notified us about and made sure our cat was moved to a safe space in the house. We love using Karina and thankful she’s continued to watch our cat, who is not always the friendliest with new people.”


“Amy was a wonderful caretaker for Maverick! Made several calls and sent pictures of him to let us know how he was doing throughout our entire vacation! Will definitely use her services again the next time we go away!”

“Cheryl is amazing! We have booked her services on multiple long trips. She never fails to provide the best care and affection when she pet sits. She provides plenty of pictures and she is genuinely a sincere and kind person.”

“Jonny was amazing! My cat Oliver has congenital heart failure and requires pills twice a day. Oliver warmed up to Jonny very quickly. Jonny was flexible and easy to communicate with. He was happy to send me updates and adjust the schedule as needed. During the time that Jonny was helping me with my cats, my other cat Elio developed a UTI. Jonny was able to easily help me with her night medication. Knowing he would be there at night for my cats while I was working, made me feel a lot better. Thank you for everything! I would definitely recommend Jonny and will be contacting him in the future!!”

“Zian was a great help with taking care of my cat Pluto when I was out of town! She was clearly comfortable with him and he even helped administer her inhaler. Would highly recommend!”


“Jon was great, and went far beyond just feeding our cats and taking care of the litter box. We had just suffered the loss of a beloved sibling of our cats and Jon was especially sensitive to their emotional needs- especially one who was grieving hard - even just checking in on them to make sure they were OK. We not only got detailed reports of their activities, but also comments regarding their mood. By the time we returned home from our trip they were back to normal. highly recommend Jon... He cares.”


About: When you love dogs or cats that love will always be with you whether you’re caring for your own pets or someone else’s. I believe pets should be treated like people, with love and a concern for their comfort, happiness and well being. After owning a family retail business for many years, and then working for a major national bank, it was time for a change. Why not do something that involves my love for pets? Dog walking was the answer. For the past eight years I've been delivering dog walking services to pet owners, ensuring strict supervision of pets during excursions while providing a safe and nurturing environment for dogs with different needs, temperaments and medical conditions. Most importantly, you can rest assured that the safety, security and well being of your dog will always be my number one priority. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and held part-time jobs & volunteer positions fostering and helping animals find homes. I work from home full-time and my partner is a registered nurse, so we have very flexible schedules. I also do have my own amazing, handicapped senior dog, so will only accept dogs that are friendly and we’ll trained. I would love the chance to spend time with your pets & make them feel safe while you're at work or away! I know how hard it can be to find good dog sitters, and I want to be that person for someone else! I work from home full-time so am available day or night to help take care of your pets whenever you need. Usually available on weekends too. I have a one bedroom apartment in a high-rise luxury building that is pet-friendly. There are dog parks nearby and nice areas to walk, so I will make sure your pet gets exercise. I also have dog treats and some toys if your dog needs anything.

“Victoria is amazing! She gave Bernard the best care and comfort while we were away, from snuggles to nutrition and a clean environment. I highly recommend her for your cats or dogs.”

About: I have been consistently cat sitting for my sister’s cat, Mr Cat, for a few years now. As I’ve gotten to know him better I’ve realized the uniqueness of caring for a cat. I have a true appreciation for their personalities and tend to form a bond with them as they get to know me. Patience is key when meeting a new animal and I think this is even more crucial for cats. I can be flexible with individual needs for your cat and I am very patient with establishing a trusting relationship with them.
“Despite Charlie never coming out from under my bed, Blake showed up daily 2x/day to feed her, try to play, & ensure she had a clean litter box. I think Charlie would have had a pretty fun time, had she stuck her nose out just a little. Lots of funny pics of Charlie's eye &nose! 😁 I'd call Blake again -- he's a responsible cat- sitter.”

“Tracy and Steven go above and beyond! I do not mean that as an exaggeration. Like they seriously go the extra mile. I booked very very last minute and Tracy came and got my baby! I was updated with a lot of pictures and videos and never in my life seen my baby more comfortable and happy there than any other Rover service I have used. They will forever be my go to!”

About: Hi! I’m Marina, a dancewear designer and a proud mom to a lovable 6-year-old dog. My love for animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy their company! I am mainly working in dance industry but do have part time to spend with dogs since I have my own and i have a lot of friends that have pets I just love to cuddle with them, walk them and play. I will prioritize the unique needs of each animal, recognising that every pet is special and deserves tailored care. I strive to create a comforting and personalized experience, ensuring that every pet feels valued and well- cared for.
“Lily loves going to Amanda’s house. She goes weekly for daycare and when we go on vacation for longer stays. We trust Amanda like she’s Lily’s second mom :). Lily gets a lot of love and attention and we’re so grateful to her and her husband Max (Lily’s best friend).”

“A wonderful experience! Communication was excellent (including photos and videos). Doug has created a calm, well thought out space that can accommodate multiple dogs - including ways to give dogs their own space if needed. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs ever since I could remember. I have a lot of experience and love for animals of all kinds. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and care for their pets for many years! I am currently attending Berklee College of Music so i’m available at anytime on the weekend and most times during the week, if you contact me we can definitely work something out! I live in a pretty spacious apartment where your dog can have more than enough space to walk around, and although I grew up with 3 dogs in my home town, I do not have any dogs here in Boston so there is no worry about whether or not your dog with get along with other dogs. This way I will be able to give my full, undivided attention to your dog while I’m on the job. I am a student at Berklee College of Music and have some classes during the week but I am pretty flexible as they are only a couple of hours out of the day. I am completely free on weekends. I love animals and they deserve the best. I give my pets lots of love, and pets, and cuddles; and I treat every pet that I care for, and my own.

“Our sitter dropped out last minute and Manuel took care of our dog. He was very responsive to the messages and accommodating, shared pictures of our dog throughout the stay. We are very happy with his service and highly recommend him.”

About: I spent the past 4 years running a successful dog-watching business in NYC with my partner. We have since relocated to Northern NJ and intend to provide the same high quality services for pets here. I grew up with animals - dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, turtles and fish. I would’ve had cats too if members of my family weren’t so allergic. As a teen I volunteered with friends at our local animal shelter and chose to work with the cat population because most of the volunteers wanted to walk the dogs. Most recently I trained my own dog - starting from when she was 6 weeks old. I used a combination of training techniques (including crate training) to successfully potty-train her, teach her to walk on a leash and eventually teach her to hike and run together off-leash. My dog is now 3 years old and I bring her to my grandmother’s assisted living facility. She interacts with and plays appropriately with other dogs, pets, adults and children of all ages. She is a secure dog and adaptable to any environment. I believe my dog’s calm and friendly demeanor is a direct reflection of my skills. I’m prepared to handle dogs across the spectrum of sizes and energy levels. I live close to many beautiful parks and trails, some with dedicated areas for dog-play. I will closely follow any instructions you have for feeding, exercising, sleeping and socializing your precious pet. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule so I am able to dedicate the appropriate time and attention to your pet easily. I will treat your pet like part of my family if they stay with me. I have a very calming presence that animals seem to react really well too. I am happy to watch your pet at your place if that works best. I provide an engaging, safe environment no matter the location.
“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”

“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”

“They only let you leave 5 Stars…. That’s not enough Stars for what I wanted to leave for Megan! Waylon and Khaleesi didn’t want to leave! For our first Rover experience she sets the bar high for our next sitter. We highly recommend Megan for all of your fur baby needs! Ours stayed over night and Megan kept us to to date with photos and updates on the entire visit. Thank you Megan for loving our babies while we enjoyed a fun get away!”

“My puppy had a great day with Isabella. He loves her family right after he arrived. He played in the yard and in the house. He also played with Isabella's dog very well. Isabella sent me plenty of pictures and videos through the day. Her son also spent a good amount of time playing with my puppy. It is very clear that he was taken good care of and he will love to visit Isabella's house again. Isabella's service deserves a five-star.”

“Yuberkis was amazing! She took care of Simba so well. Kept me updated every little while with pictures and videos. And Simba made a new friend too! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Simba!”

“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs at every stage. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure, to adolescent dogs learning good habits, to our sweet senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I also have experience volunteering with animal shelters, which taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and anxiety levels. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual. Some dogs want an adventure buddy, some want a cuddle companion, and others just need a calm, reliable presence while their owners are away. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a high school teacher, I'm patient, responsible, and highly communicative. I'll treat your pet like a member of my own family and am happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm a teacher on summer break with flexible hours. I understand our furry friends don't always live by the same schedule we do, and am happy to provide them with the midday walks/socialization they need so you can come home to a happy pet. I'm happy to provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood where your pet is most comfortable. Care in my home involves comfy couch access, walks on streets with sidewalks, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Safety is my top priority, so I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, closely supervise outdoor time, and make sure pets have a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. Upon request, I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of mine and my family’s dogs for the last three years, and already have a spacious home with a backyard set up for them. I provide constant attention and support to them since I am retired. I am a retired teacher, so I am always home to take care of your furry friend. My schedule is very flexible, perfect to accommodate your pet. I have a fenced in yard, and live very close to a lark park with a fenced-in dog park. I have a four year old chiweenie who gets along with all dogs and cats, and is very quiet. Gidget will be happy to have a friend to play with!

“Hughie did great with Amanda!! She is super reliable and professional. We felt very comfortable with Amanda right away and Hughie, who can be quite difficult at times , warmed to her! We will offer her again!”


“I have used Steve’s services twice now and it has been a great experience. No hassle, reliable, loves my dog, takes him on a 2 mile walk in an hour and so far so great! He will be my go to from now on! Highly recommend!”


“Digdem is fantastic and our pup Kona clearly loves her! I highly recommend Digdem and am very happy we found her, we will definitely continue to ask her to help with Kona!”

“This was our first time with Kyra. We had an all day event and needed someone to come take out Milo and feed him. Kyra was wonderful to work with from the meet and greet to today. Milo can be reactive towards other dogs and Kyra was very knowledgeable and understanding of the situation. She sent plenty of photos and Milo absolutely loved her! This was my first time using someone to feed Milo, and I felt incredibly comfortable seeing how responsive and caring Kyra was. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have had two cats all my life which I have cared for, fed and changed litter for. I also have experience with walking and caring for dogs. I am free anytime from here up until the 16th of August which is when I will be going back to college, but I will be free when winter break comes around. My cats are house cats so it is very easy for me to keep them safe. I shoo them away from anything dangerous or anything they shouldn’t be messing with quickly. As for dogs, I always keep an eye on them and have a tight grip on their leash when walking them so they don’t run off.

“Victoria feels like she’s part of our family now! She’s so helpful with our mini goldendoodle Lily. Lily loves Victoria so much she cries at the door when I tell her she’s coming! We work with Victoria on a weekly basis :)”

“Elissa is amazing! She is super nice and very responsible. She walks my dog several times a week and I never had an issue. Always on time and she makes sure he gets good exercise and some play time. Highly recommend!”

“Highly recommend Jonny! He took great care of Sky and was punctual and communicative. I love receiving the Rover report cards at the end of every walk with photos. Thanks so much!”

“I recently moved to the area for work, and one of my top priorities was finding a dependable dog walker. I can confidently say that I’ve found the perfect one in Jon. He’s been absolutely wonderful. My dog Rosie tends to be quite anxious around new people, but Jon has been so patient and understanding, allowing her to build trust with him at her own pace. I can’t recommend Jon highly enough!”

“Alena was fantastic. Our dog loved her at first sight. She was punctual and helpful. Alena also kept us totally informed and updated about Maya’s walks. It is a pleasure to know that we have someone to count on when we’re away.🐾🐾🐾”

About: I've been a dog lover since I was a wee lad, and I used to constantly check out the same informative dog book from my school library until eventually they just let me buy it. I still have it! I've fostered eight dogs and four cats, and my dad currently has two dogs who he trusts to sit for when he goes on work trips or vacations. I have horse experience as well, so if I can care for a horse, I sure can care for your pet. I'm also learning pet grooming, slowly but surely! If you have a well-mannered, not-too-big doggy that doesn't mind the water, I'd be happy to bathe them for you. I'm still looking for a more stable job, so as it stands, my schedule is completely open. I'm not a super big morning person, but I'm willing to sacrifice my extra hours of sleep for your pet! When I petsit at my dad's house, I barely even leave a trace I was there. I'd say I'm quite neat, and I may very well end up cleaning your house if I think I've "made a mess", anyway. LOL I adhere to walk/feed schedules exactly, so please make sure to provide me with a detailed one!

“Kora was well cared for, I received pics and updates throughout her stay. Great experience and will definitely reach out when Kora needs a place to stay for a few days.”

“We are so grateful for Jaina! She took wonderful care of BOTH my large pups on short notice. The minute my dogs arrived at Jaina's house for our meet and greet, they were sniffing every inch of space. Jaina was warm and welcoming, allowing them to run all over both floors of her home and explore her huge backyard. I could see she truly understood dogs and knew they would be safe and happy with her. Jaine provided my high energy dogs with lots of play, stimulation, and cuddles. She was patient and nurturing and provided me with updates, photos and videos. One of my pups was wailing and refusing to get in the car when it was time to leave Jaina's. What a wonderful experience!”

“Cannot thank Tracy and Steve enough for taking such good care of our dog, Peppa! It was nice to get regular updates via both photos and videos. You could just tell that Peppa was having a great time and was in good hands! We would definitely recommend Tracy and Steve whose level of excellent care gave us peace of mind. Thanks to them again!”

“Shaun and his family take great care of our pup Skye, who always comes home happy and tired. I feel extremely confident that Skye is treated as a part of their family.”

“Doug took excellent care of our dog Winnie! He was incredibly responsive and shared lots of updates and fun pictures. We felt fully at ease and know Winnie was having a great time. We will absolutely be reaching out to Doug again the next time we need help with Winnie!”


“What a blessing! We had never left our Tumaini (Tutu) for more than a night or two with friends, so we were understandably nervous. From the very start, Manuel put our minds at ease. We first scheduled a meet-and-greet, followed by a full day with Manuel so he and Tu could get to know each other. She had a fantastic time (!!), and we knew right away she was in the best hands. While we were away, Manuel kept us updated with messages and photos, always responding quickly—even to our “we miss Tu so much” texts. He took her on three to four walks a day (which means we officially have no excuse for just three and a backyard romp—lol!). Manuel is not just a sitter; he’s now our go-to for Tu’s care, our first line of defense against worry, and the reason we can travel with complete peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our girl!”

“Carolina took such good care of our two dogs. They had so much fun playing with her dog as well. She sent daily updates about how they were doing which was perfect since we were so far away from home for over a week. We really appreciated her taking care of them. We highly recommend her loving care.”

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”

“Laura, Dan & their adorable boys took great care of my 2 labs over the weekend! They were very easy to work with and flexible to meet my needs when arrival time changed. Thank you so much! 💕”

About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.
“Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Megan was fantastic!!!! Our two silly boys were so at ease and not in the least bit anxious when picked up. They obviously had a very good weekend with Megan. Highly recommend by a very picky pair of owners and a very happy pair of Weims!”

“Darrin, Debra, and Emily cared for our most precious treasure Benjamin with much love, attention to detail, and dedication. We are very grateful for their professionalism, and for the good treatment that our English Bulldog received during this stay at their home. We recommend and will request your services again in the future.”

“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”

“Dream dog sitters! They give my dog so much attention, play time with other dogs and outdoors, and cuddles that I don’t think he has a moment free to miss me. And they’re great about making sure that he gets his medications. I feel very fortunate to have found them!”

“Really good service provided, picks, videos and comments every day to see how Cooper was doing. Fast answers and take care of Cooper with responsibility. he enjoined playing with the other dogs. Fully recommended. Thanks ?”
