Personalized care for your dog or cat - Pedricktown
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pedricktown
“Ralphie came home happy and tired, he had a lot of activity and was well cared for. Andres sent us pictures and updates letting us know Ralphie was having a good time. We appreciated the updates giving us peace of mind while we were vacationing several states away. Andres has a wonderful large property giving the dogs he cares for plenty of space to run around, which our Ralphie is used to and we look for in a sitter's home. We would recommend Andres as your next pet sitter!”
“Rita was great! Our first time using Rover and we were nervous since our dog can be a bit needy. Rita would send pictures and updates which put us at ease. Otis looked to have a great time! We will definitely be using Rita again.”
“Marissa was great. My dog had a fun weekend with her and came home happy. And smelling good! I appreciated the photos she sent me during Chico’s stay. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.”
“I had such a great experience with Juliana and couldn’t recommend her more highly. Leaving my dog while traveling is never easy, but she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free from the start. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel connected even while I was away.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Sherry was so kind and attentive to our dog. She had us do a meet-and-greet, which helped my dog to go to her when we dropped her off. She sent us pictures and videos while we were apart. She walked our dog frequently. We are grateful for her kindness to our dog.”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Stephanie was amazing! She took great care of my dogs and sent tons of updates and photos. She’s very communicative and accommodating and made sure to get all the details about them so they would have a safe and fun stay. They were very happy and well-loved and had the best time! We’ll definitely stay 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.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“David was wonderful with my dog Rocco. This was the second time I used David, and he will be my go to guy for any future needs. He’s also so flexible if you need to drop off or pick up at a different hour than you originally planned. Highly recommend David.”
“Patti is a gem! Our sweet doodle, Rosie, spent 9 nights at Patti's house while we were on vacation. I've never had so much peace of mind leaving her with anyone else! This was my first time booking care through Rover and Patti walked us through the process so smoothly. Her home and yard are beautiful and Patti was friendly and welcoming during the meet and greet, drop off, pick up, and in all her messages. My whole family LOVED the daily updates with photos and videos while we were away. We missed Rosie, but could see she was being treated like a princess and was also having lots of fun with Patti's two little dogs ☺️ And the best sign was from Rosie -- She was very calm and content when we brought her home, not anxious as she had been after a couple traditional kennel experiences in the past. Thank you, Patti; we wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
“Candice took great care of our Lily. Of course we were a bit nervous going away for a week and leaving Lily with someone new. Candice welcomed us to her beautiful home with a wonderful smile and assured us that Lily would be fine. After receiving our first picture and report the next day (and everyday thereafter) we knew we had selected the right place for our fur baby and had no worries after that. Lily seemed to be right at home. We highly recommend Candice and her family and will definitely be using her again.”
“Billie had a great time! Aubrey reached out with updates and photos and the whole process was very smooth! This was our first time boarding our dog and we will definitely bring her back to Aubrey again.”
“My dog doesn't like to be away from home, but Rhea makes her feel comfortable and takes excellent care of all her needs, also during the recent heat wave. Sage was happy and in great shape when I returned after a longer trip. While I was away, Rhea kept me up-to-date on how Sage was doing, which is very helpful for peace of mind. I will always ask Rhea when I need help with dog sitting. I highly recommend her.”
“Khaing is the best! She took good care of my cat (Lexx) for 5 days. She kept me updated & sent me pictures everyday. She also does pick up & drop of service which is very convenient for me. Thank you Khaing i appreciate everything and also for the new toys your gave Lexx. He loves it! I will be using your service again in the future. Take care!”
“Absolutely amazing! This the first time I left my dog since rescuing him and his anxiety gave me anxiety 😅. Kristina was great she answered all my questions, she was so kind when I asked stupid ones. She kept my dog safe and happy. She also works with reactive dogs great! Would recommend! Can't say it enough she is amazing!”

Cat caregivers near you - Pedricktown
“3 of our cats are extremely shy and won't come out for anyone, but anytime Izzy watches them, all 4 come out to see her. This speaks volumes as to how Izzy interacts with them and the care she provides. She does an outstanding job and always sends pictures and updates. We highly recommend Izzy as a pet sitter and will continue using her for all of our future trips.”
“Amanda is dependable, kindly, and professional. She does a great job, taking care of my cats when I’m out of town. I highly recommend her. By far she’s the best cat sitter I’ve ever had.”
“Maria was great with my cat while I was away for two weeks. She sent daily updates with photos, which gave me an immense peace of mind. Cleaned the litter boxes and fed my cat according to the instructions we discussed during our meet & greet. She even managed to win over my very shy cat who usually hides from strangers. We returned to a very happy, relaxed cat. Highly recommend!"”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Lady! We could tell by the pictures provided that she had a great time playing in the backyard and she looks forward to hanging out with you again soon!”
“Diana was wonderful with my pup! He gave her a bit of a hard time going outside at first since he’s used to only going out with me, but she was patient and he quickly warmed up to her. She kept me updated with great communication and sent pictures the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Diana!”
“Heather does a beyond excellent job of taking care of our older dog with separation anxiety and special needs. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter.”
About: I have had cats my whole life, they are my favorite thing! I have experience with Kitty litter cleaning and giving medications I also have experience in recognizing when a cat is in distress and in need of help.
About: I pet sit for my neighbors when they go away, I'll stay with them and make sure they're okay throughout the night. I also walk their dogs when they need me to while they're at work or stuck out longer than they expected. I was also walking for another company for a while. I own two cats and two dogs of my own. I'm very sociable with animals and can take care of many different kinds. I've also worked with multiple different breeds of dogs and cats. Big dogs and small dogs alike. As well as different breeds of cats. I've also worked with lizards and bearded dragons, and guinea pigs. Any animal you may have, I can take care of for you, without any type of issue! I’m currently doing online school for the summer and there is no set times that I need to be on doing schoolwork. I’ll be free at any time! When a client books with me for the first time, I always make sure to meet the dog while the owners are there so the dog can see that I’m okay to be in their home.
About: 7+ yrs at PetSmart, 14+ yrs pet care; dog/cat walker/sitter. I treat every pet like my own—safe, loved, and well cared for. I stick closely to their routine, give plenty of attention, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Currently, I’m available on weekends only, as I work full-time during the week. My fiancé and I love spending our weekends at home, so your pet will have plenty of attention and company. I have a gate before exiting my home to avoid escape artists. Your pet will be treated like family, with plenty of walks, cuddles, and playtime.
“Super communicative and very sweet to talk with!! Updated daily with pictures and made effort to engage with both of my cats! My cats seemed comfortable with her and I will definitely utilize her again.”
“Wonderful experience working with Kai and Devon, as always! They’re attentive and write good notes to keep me informed of how my cat’s doing. And I love the glamour pics they take of her!”
“Very good experience with Liz! She was quick to respond and helped us a lot throughout the entire trip. I usually feel worried about our pets while gone for so long, but Liz made us feel good about them being cared for.”
About: I've over 25 years of experience with many animals, cats are definitely my favorite of the bunch. Each one has a unique personality. I have done many medications with cats as well. I have been a cat sitter on Meowtel for several years and have even received a reward.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and neighbors dogs and cats since I was 6 years old. Walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, and small training. I’ve also dealt with small to large pets and pets who don’t like people. I love ALL animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently laid off but actively looking to get back into my career. In the meantime I am available any time of the day. Once I begin working again I will be available mornings, nights and weekends. For safety I will be with the dog/cat at all times. If you have a fenced in yard I will still keep watch just in case. While on walks or dog park visits, etc I will be wary of other animals and people who are also around.
About: Hello! My name is Lily, and I have been taking care of pets for nearly 12 years. I adopted my first dog over 11 years ago. She had a lot of trauma from before we adopted her, and so have other dogs we have adopted, so I have plenty of experience with anxious “problematic” pets! I have owned 4 rescues in my life which all had their own quirks, and I have also watched dogs and cats for many people in my community. I have watched puppies and senior dogs who need help going to the bathroom. I have watched cats with three legs, cats who always get out, and even lizards! I absolutely love animals and I would love to get to know you and your fur babies. Message me if you have any questions! I’m currently working full-time in Wilmington DE, but unfortunately in this economy that’s not enough! I am available early in the mornings (before 8am), at lunch time, and after 5pm for walks and visits. I can do overnight stays as well, and I am always available on the weekends! Everyone has their own particular preferences for their pet. Some allow pets on furniture or in the bed, and some exclusively use a crate. Some dogs may love walks, while others prefer to run around in the backyard. I have worked with many different owners and pets and I will adjust to whatever is best for your pet! As for me personally, there is a wonderful dog park near my apartment that I take my dog to almost daily, she loves it! She doesn’t love walks and prefers to run around freely, and it allows her to play with other dogs and socialize! Every dog has different needs and I will make sure to meet them.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pedricktown
“Dante was an amazing caretaker! I received photo updates throughout her stay as she got to enjoy playing with his lil Frenchie. I received a lovely report upon pickup too, as she was smiling away!! She loved playing with tennis balls AND she didn’t tear up one of them!! THAT IS A MIRACLE!! My tennis balls have never survived a Belinda! Once Belinda and I arrived home, she went straight to sleep and snoozed all night. She had a GREAT day! Thank you so much, Dante, for your flexibility and for taking great care of my best girl!!”
“Weiyu is a great sitter. Excellent communication and updates. She took great care of my puppy and he had a great time with her adorable mini doxie. Would definitely bring my dog back for another visit !”
“Joseph was great! I was a little nervous to leave my girl but Joseph had a few other dogs for the night and so she got a great play date out of it! Very responsive and shared lots of great videos and photos throughout the night so I knew she was ok!”
“Beth is so kind and has a very calm energy! She welcomed Georgi and made sure she was happy all day! Fantastic experience! Georgi is looking forward to her next stay with aunty Beth!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Raelyn was able to watch our dog with short notice. She was professional and polite. I was nervous because my dog is very energetic and anxious but Raelyn handled him very well. She said she was able to get him to interact with other dogs and he seemed to to well overall. I'd definitely use Raelyn again and I recommend her.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. As both a pet mom and human mom, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your family members. I'm dependable, communicative, and often available on short notice. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a walk, or extra attention while you're away, I'd love to help! Because I work remotely and have significant flexibility in my schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm able to plan my workday around walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, and playtime, allowing me to provide attentive care while accommodating a wide range of scheduling needs. We own our home and have a small fenced backyard. We currently have one friendly cat who thinks he's a dog! If needed, we have plenty of space to keep pets separated to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or in your home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’m a devout animal lover with two dogs of my own and one cat. Caring for animals is truly one of my favorite joys in life! My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home when they’re in my care. My senior dog recently passed from a rare lung cancer so I’m experienced in delivering oral medication, round the clock care and attention, and moving at their pace. Your baby will be well taken care of. I work remote so I am able to give your dog lots of love and attention throughout the day. Your dog will be able to take potty breaks every two hours in the fenced-in yard and spend time outside. We typically go for walks in the early morning and late evening. My Rover calendar is updated daily so that I can support any urgent needs, when available. Boarding & Daycare: My ultimate goal is to give your dog a home away from home! I only board one dog at a time so that I can give them adequate, individualized attention all throughout the day. You will not find a sitter in Wilmington that is as attentive as I am. My pets are kept separate during boarding. Your dog will have access to the entire first floor and the fenced in-backyard. I have a dedicated bedroom for boarding where I can sleep with dogs who may have separation anxiety to ensure they are comfortable. Drop-in visits & Walks: I‘ll take my time getting to know your dog and make sure they’re comfortable with me being there. I like to sit with them for a few minutes before and after each walk to feel out their energy levels. On walks, I recognize that this is their social time so I go at their pace and let them get plenty of sniff time. I am very respectful of your home and will follow your instructions closely.
“Bronwen has been our go to sitter and we feel so comfortable having Griffin stay with her, she become like a second mom to him. She has gone above and beyond so many times and we are very lucky to have found her. Griffin can barely contain his excitement and basically tries to jump out of the car window every time we pull up to her house!”
About: I’ve had rescue dogs since I was a child. I get a lot of joy out of fostering dogs and helping them find their furever home. I also grew up with cats and love a sassy attitude. Looking to soak up some good pet energy this summer! I’m not working this summer, so I’m home all day and ready to entertain your pet. I love taking walks so your dog will get at least two walks per day. I spend a lot of time in the pool, so your pet can enjoy the yard as much as they want. Enrichment toys, watching birds and squirrels, naps in the sun, the occasional pup cup, games of fetch, and zoomies galore. I have a big, fenced in yard. I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s what they prefer. Willing to accommodate. Will reward with Puperoni!
About: At age 12 I had community flyers posted for pet care. I have provided in and out of home care for many years. I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and aquatics. I am currently a stay at home mother of a school aged child. 8 - 9am and 3 - 4 pm are the only times of concern. That is my daughter's bussing schedule. I have a senior ( 15 y/o) fully vetted male cat. I also have a precious 2 year old beagle/scent hound mix dog. My pup is fully vetted as well . A year ago we had a new and secure vinyl fence installed. I also have a thriving freshwater community fish tank. My tank has produced fry and additional freshwater plants. This has given me years of pet care experience and growth. I have done a little bit of everything. I was a volunteer dog walker in a city shelter. I have taken care of an extra large terrestrial sulcata tortoise.
“Nicolette did a great job watching Penny for the day! She was friendly and promptly responded to our messages and questions. Her dog Prince also got along well with our dog. We would book her again!”
“Cindy was an amazing sitter! My dog had a sore paw when I dropped her off, and she took such great care of her. It was clear my dog was comfortable and well looked after. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed. I’m really grateful for Cindy's care and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services!”
About: I'VE OWNED TWO DOGS OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS. MY FIRST DOG, SOPHIE, A TERRIER, LIVED A HAPPY 14 YEARS WITH ME AND MY FAMILY. I THEN TRIED TO RESCUE A DOG BUT FOUND THAT AS SOMEONE WHO RECENTLY RETIRED, WITH MY FAMILY OUT OF THE HOUSE (AND STATE), I'VE BEEN TRAVELING A TON AND COULDN'T PROVIDE A GOOD HOME FOR THE RESCUE DOG (RILEY). I FOUND A GOOD HOME FOR RILEY AND BEGAN LOOKING INTO TEMPORARY OWNERSHIP. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SPECIAL SKILLS, BUT I LOVE DOGS AND I ENJOY LONG WALKS SO YOUR DOG WILL GET TONS OF EXERCISE, LOVE AND AFFECTION. I FEEL THAT TAKING CARE OF DOGS WILL GIVE ME THE LOVE I'M LOOKING FOR WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT OF DOG OWNERSHIP. I am involved with different activities but home more than away at the present. I get up early so that isn't an issue in walking early rising dogs! I can place a stake outside if your dog likes to sit in the sun. I live in a neighborhood with lots of friendly dogs so I need to know if your dog doesn't like other dogs!

About: I grew up with dogs + cats and have experience raising puppies, handling senior dogs, and dogs with minor special needs (mobility issues and vision-impaired). I have worked with animal rescues as a foster for dogs as well! As for cats, I have fostered nearly 50 kittens and adult cats, and have experience with special needs cats! I also have experience with animals such as rabbits, lizards, fish, guinea pigs/hamsters. I currently have no form of employment and can spare most of my time for pet-care. I am willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and playtime or dog walks! I cannot do boarding as I have animals of my own and avoiding a potential problem is the priority. My pets are well-cared for and since they all came from rescues, their specific needs are taken into account. The cats have their own separate litter boxes, the dogs get plenty of playtime and sunshine. As for a client’s home, I will make sure that their pets are loved as if they are my own and I will keep the home clean if any accidents occur. Important information such as diets, recommended outside time, and general schedules for the animals will be taken into account and treated very seriously.
“Diana was wonderful to have to walk both my dogs, it was a last minute decision to use Rover for the first time and I’m happy I gave it a try. I would def recommend Diana and would surely use her again in the future. Thanks for everything!”
“Amanda was great! She is always on time and makes our dogs care her priority. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog sitter or walker.”

But I also love hanging out and being a companion when your fur baby needs it.

About: I’ve been around and owned dogs my whole life and have gained an unconditional love for them. Your dog will be in great hands, that is a guarantee. Dogs will get the proper love and care that is needed. Your pooch will always be played with, fed, walked and pampered to the max with me. I get just as excited to see a dog as a dog would be to see me, so our energies together will make for one exciting day in the park, a run, or just even a leaisurely stroll around the neighborhood. My schedule is quite flexible and I will always try my best to accommodate to your and your pets needs. I really look forward to getting to work with the many dogs on here.

I take my dog, Ace, on daily walks in the morning and at night. We play in the backyard whenever the weather allows us to. Ace is a big part of my life and I give him the best life I can possible give him. We do everything together whenever I am home. Between eating meals together to taking naps together. I would give anyone else's pet the same attention and compassion I give my own dog because that is what pets deserve.
About: While I’m currently a cat mom, I’ve grown up around all breeds of dogs. I have been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for 10+ years. My night shift work schedule leaves me plenty of flexibility during the days. I work night shift 8p to 8a in a hospital three rotating days a week so I have a good deal of flexibility during the day time. I’d prefer to set up a time to meet with you and your pet prior to the first service to get a feel for the care they’ll need as well as make sure they are comfortable with me.
“Tommy is really awesome! I really appreciate the updates during her walks while I’m at work. He makes sure my dog uses the bathroom each visit and that’s a relief for me. Thanks for being so great with Luna I’m sure she looks forward to every walk!!”
About: My love for dogs has been with me since I was a kid, but it truly took off when I got into hiking and the outdoors! There’s something magical about seeing a dog’s pure excitement on the trail—the way their tail wags nonstop, the burst of energy as they explore, and that unshakable bond they share with their humans. Watching my friends' dogs thrive on these adventures made me realize just how much I love being around dogs, and soon enough, I found myself pet sitting for coworkers while they traveled. That’s when everything clicked—I wasn’t just helping out, I was doing something that brought me real joy! Over the past two years, I’ve gained a deep understanding of dog behavior, problem-solving, and structured care. I know how important trust and communication are when it comes to caring for someone’s pet, and I always keep owners in the loop with updates and insights into their dog’s well-being. I’ve also developed a strong ability to read body language, making sure every dog I watch feels safe, comfortable, and excited for their time with me! Whether it’s juggling multiple dogs with different needs, sticking to medication and feeding schedules, or adapting to new situations with patience and confidence, I’m always ready to step up and provide the best possible care. Now that I’m back home in New Jersey, I’m beyond excited to continue this journey! I’m always looking to grow, learn, and bring even more love and energy to the dogs I care for. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly love doing! I can’t wait to meet your pup and make sure they’re happy, safe, and having the best time ever! I currently have full availability from Thursday to Sunday, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet. On Monday through Wednesday, I work a flexible schedule that still allows for drop-in services, walks, feeding, and other care needs. I am happy to work with your specific situation and can accommodate hybrid or work-from-home scenarios to ensure your dog receives the attention they deserve. Creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets is my top priority! I will adhere to your expectations and routines; Prepare meals and refresh water regularly; Provide daily walks, playtime, and exercises tailored to your dog's needs; maintain hygiene and grooming; Send updates and communication to pet owner; Secure outdoor areas and ensure leash handling during walks.
About: I've had dogs and cats all my life! I am a current dog owner and have fostered many times in the past! I have experience with almost any breed, any size! I am currently working part time, I have a bunch of time to hang out with your furry friend always! I am also a college student but thanks to computers is it all online! I have a fenced in yard with 2 different spots! I have an area for them to potty in the morning and a separate area for them to play! I also have my own 3 year old border collie who would love a play date any day any time!
“Laura helped us out at the last minute and did a great job with our dog. Our dog doesn’t always feel comfortable with people right away but he gravitated to Laura’s warmth and friendliness!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and neighbors dogs and cats since I was 6 years old. Walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, and small training. I’ve also dealt with small to large pets and pets who don’t like people. I love ALL animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently laid off but actively looking to get back into my career. In the meantime I am available any time of the day. Once I begin working again I will be available mornings, nights and weekends. For safety I will be with the dog/cat at all times. If you have a fenced in yard I will still keep watch just in case. While on walks or dog park visits, etc I will be wary of other animals and people who are also around.

“Ralphie came home happy and tired, he had a lot of activity and was well cared for. Andres sent us pictures and updates letting us know Ralphie was having a good time. We appreciated the updates giving us peace of mind while we were vacationing several states away. Andres has a wonderful large property giving the dogs he cares for plenty of space to run around, which our Ralphie is used to and we look for in a sitter's home. We would recommend Andres as your next pet sitter!”
“Marissa was great. My dog had a fun weekend with her and came home happy. And smelling good! I appreciated the photos she sent me during Chico’s stay. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing! She took great care of my dogs and sent tons of updates and photos. She’s very communicative and accommodating and made sure to get all the details about them so they would have a safe and fun stay. They were very happy and well-loved and had the best time! We’ll definitely stay 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.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“David was wonderful with my dog Rocco. This was the second time I used David, and he will be my go to guy for any future needs. He’s also so flexible if you need to drop off or pick up at a different hour than you originally planned. Highly recommend David.”
“Patti is a gem! Our sweet doodle, Rosie, spent 9 nights at Patti's house while we were on vacation. I've never had so much peace of mind leaving her with anyone else! This was my first time booking care through Rover and Patti walked us through the process so smoothly. Her home and yard are beautiful and Patti was friendly and welcoming during the meet and greet, drop off, pick up, and in all her messages. My whole family LOVED the daily updates with photos and videos while we were away. We missed Rosie, but could see she was being treated like a princess and was also having lots of fun with Patti's two little dogs ☺️ And the best sign was from Rosie -- She was very calm and content when we brought her home, not anxious as she had been after a couple traditional kennel experiences in the past. Thank you, Patti; we wouldn't hesitate to book again!”
“Billie had a great time! Aubrey reached out with updates and photos and the whole process was very smooth! This was our first time boarding our dog and we will definitely bring her back to Aubrey again.”
“Juliana did an awesome job! She was the first sitter for our puppy and we could not be happier with how things went. We will definitely work with her again. She kept us up to date on her activities and kept our little one on schedule and busy. 💕”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Beth! She was flexible with dropoff and pickup, and very communicative about how our dog was getting along with her new friends (she even sent us daily videos and pictures). Our dog came back happy and we had peace of mind the whole time.”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“My fur baby usually has separation anxiety and gets sad with other people but she Absolutely LOVED Tamika ! Was so happy to be with her and playing for several days . 5 stars”
“Joseph did a terrific job with Benny! He was very involved and attentive to his needs, and constantly kept us updated on Benny throughout the week. He shared photos and videos of our pup having a great time and really put us at ease while we were away. Highly Recommend!”
