About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Rhea and Michael were absolutely the best! My dog Frankie is 11 years old, he doesn’t like being around a lot of other dogs, he was very comfortable spending the week with Rhea and Michael while we were in the Bahamas. Rhea sent a lot of pictures and I could see how happy he was! They took great care of him and kept me updated! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Marcy was absolutely amazing with our pup Chewie! He was so so so loved by her entire family and she sent us amazing pictures and videos the entire time we were away! Thank you so much for taking care of our pup, we have definitely found our new sitter and hope you’ll have Chewie back in your home!”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”
“Amanda and her family were amazing with Hudson. He seemed to have a great time and we would def love use her again when we are in the NJ area. She sent updates with pictures/videos every day which was very nice. Thank you so much Amanda!!”
“Angelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelica”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“I was a bit skeptical using Rover, and a bit nervous to leave Dilon. Paloma explained the process and was very helpful. I loved that Dilon stayed in good hands and I was able to have peace of mind. Paloma kept me informed of Dilon’s day to day, she would answer promptly to the messages and would also send pictures regularly. Thank you again for taking good care of Dilon.”
“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Thank you so much for keeping Michaela. The daily photos let me know she was in good hands. Thank you for working with me as I am new to this app. Thank you for providing great service.”
“I We had a great experience with Yesenia and Manny while Cody stayed with them for 4 days during our trip. It was Cody’s first time boarding at someone else's house, and everything went smoothly. Yesenia and Manny were very attentive and caring, which made us feel completely at ease. They also sent us regular pictures and videos of Cody, so we could see how well he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend them and would definitely trust them again!”
“Desi and Marilyn are fantastic! They are very kind and clearly love and understand animals. They were able to get my anxious Bernadoodle around other dogs in a gentle way that didn’t seem to overwhelm my pup. The set up for dogs is amazing. These dogs are probably having a better time than the owners on vacation. The responsiveness to any texts was within a min and included some pictures which is fantastic for a nervous first time Rover boarder parent. I would highly recommend them for any pets stay.”
“Darien was an amazing help with AJ. She took great care of him and provided me with pictures and videos everyday. You can tell she enjoys what she does. She is professional and makes sure she understands how to care for your dog. I liked the fact that she had a call with me to get to know who AJ was. This meant a lot as I knew she wanted to make sure he had a great time. I will definitely use her again. I trust her with my pet. She groomed AJ and he smelt soooooo good.”
“We had such a great experience with Nataliya and her family. They took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time, which I really appreciated. When my dog wasn’t feeling well, they were especially attentive and caring, and it honestly gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell they truly care and treated my baby like part of their family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care.”
“Marisol is amazing! They treated our pups like family, have a very high end and clean set up, and were excellent with communication. We’re already booked for our next trip!”

“Tricia was great. Took excellent care of my cat especially considering we had just moved into the new house and the cat was quite nervous about the new space. I would definitely recommend and use Tricia again.”
“Hansa is our new favorite catsitter! She is especially sensitive and caring toward cats, and understands them beautifully. She is professional, communicative and will always ask permission before handling a situation. Our cats LOVE her! We came home from a holiday trip and Hansa took such wonderful care of everything. Our homes were clean and smelled fresh! And our fur babies seemed genuinely happy, and well-taken care of.. no mommy guilt for me!! We are so grateful ! Definitely booking Hansa again!”
“Nicole was wonderful watching my cat when I was away. She always checked in with me quickly and gave me thorough updates about how my cat was doing-if she was eating, and sent pictures everyday. I will definitely be booking her again, he did a great job and my cat loved spending time with her.”
“I had an amazing experience with Morgan over the Christmas break. She took excellent care of my diabetic cat, ensuring he received his insulin and even administering UTI medication when we discovered he was had a mild UTI. Her attentiveness and care were exceptional, and I would absolutely use her services again!”
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats. I lived with my cousin and her dog for some time so her dog became my adopted dog. I enjoyed taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she is happy which made me happy. After some time, I moved out and got a cat. My cat was very playful, had a unique funny and cute character. But unfortunately she got very sick. There were many veterinary visits to take her to, administration of medications and making her last living few weeks as best as possible. I enjoy taking care of pets. I am an animal lover and am passionate about all animals. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate your pet’s needs. Both mornings and early afternoon work best for Monday through Friday :) I am respectful of my client’s home and treat pets as if they are my own. I am attentive and responsive to pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure your pets are comfortable and happy.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring specifically for cats in both home and group settings. I’ve helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned how to handle different personalities, from shy and anxious cats to more playful and social ones. This taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to make cats feel safe and comfortable in any environment. I consistly care, feed, and medicate my aging cat.
“Great at everything. I used her service multiple times and she’s been awesome at timing, service and goes above and beyond. I will definitely recommend her and will continue using her moving forward.”
“Andrew did a fantastic job watching our cat. He is a quick and clear communicator and made the process easy and smooth. We look forward to working with Andrew again!”
“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”
“Zian is a very friendly, personable and responsive cat-sitter. He took very good care of my two cats while I was away over the weekend. Thanks for helping us out Zian!”
“This was my first time taking my babygirl (cat) to any boarding or sitting services and while my baby was not the nicest Angelica was great! She made everything about the experience nice and easy, she sent me pictures and updates and responded almost instantly. I told my cat to get used to it ‘cause we’re coming back! 🖤”
“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!!”

“I had such a good feeling about Desi and Mimi, and I was not disappointed at all! They took amazing care of my little boy and made sure he had the best time playing and socializing with the other pups. They sent me photos while he was there, which made me so happy and gave me so much peace of mind. Their communication was great, and I really appreciated how they listened to all of my concerns. When I picked him up, he actually went back to say goodbye, which was so funny because he has never done that with anyone before! That alone told me he had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be bringing him back, not just when I need a sitter, but just so he can have a fun day. I highly recommend them! Desi and Mimi, thank you so much for treating my pup like your own!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Marcy’s Dog Daycare! From the moment I dropped my dog off for his first visit, I knew he was in great hands. Marcy is incredibly kind, professional, and has such a deep love for animals—it’s clear she’s not just doing this as a business, but because she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. Not only did Koda have a blast playing with other dogs, but he came home exhausted (in the best way possible!) and with a huge smile on his face. I could tell he had been well taken care of and treated like part of the family. I would highly recommend Marcy’s Dog Daycare to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and reliable place to leave their pet. It’s such a relief to know that my dog is not only cared for but actually enjoys his time there. I will definitely be bringing Koda back!”
“I am beyond happy that I found Katherine this is the second time she watches my 3 pups. She sends me updates throughout the day. She sends me videos as well. I’m at peace knowing that my pups are in good hands. I’m moving to a different area in El Paso but I will definitely be driving to Katherine’s when I need her services. I wouldn’t leave my girls with anyone but her. Thank you Katherine Jade, Rosie and Bella love you 🩷🩷🩷”
“Valerie was great with Ophelia. She got her outside a lot so she could sniff to her heart's content. Saw her first deer! Great communication. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”
“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!”

“She is really thoughtful and caring! She sent us lots of pictures to keep us updated on our dog, and I could tell from those photos that she truly loves dogs. She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”
“Rocio is THE best!! She helped me out, last-minute, with my two pups. She’s extremely caring and attentive to my dogs and I receive multiple updates (w/photos) throughout the day. The best part is, not only do they come home super tired, but also they smell AMAZING! Thank you, Rocio - Cooper & Luna are SO excited to get into the car every morning 😁”
“This was our second time dropping off Tobie with Karla, and as before we are very happy with her services. She provides regular updates eoth pictures (❣️) and our little guy seems very comfortable with her. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Currently have two dogs, one is 13 and the other is 5. Both very well trained so they don’t need a leash and they don’t pee in the house, they are also super friendly ! Also always have energy to play with the dogs in the park and let them run around ! They also love car rides so I do that pretty often. I currently work overnights from 2am - 10:30am so I am free throughout the day. Although weekends are possible we just have to discuss it beforehand. Would prefer if you brought the dogs food or certain treats they eat. Mine are picky so I guess yours might be too. Your rules I just follow them. My dogs usually eat twice a day and get treats after every walk.
“My wife and I are first time pet owners together and it was extremely hard to leave our Djinn behind in the care of stranger. But as God would have it, he supplied us Zuleyka! She’s been our blessing. She’s taken very good care of our dog and made him very comfortable; calming his separation anxieties. She’s made him feel right at home and has also calmed our fears and worries as well. She’s given us timely updates and photo’s and even offered us video chats. She’s also provided us with special accommodations for our Djinn; which we were very pleased with. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Sincerely, Kelvin & Delores Crawley”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my family, and as a proud owner of three dogs, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I know that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. My home features a large backyard for supervised outdoor play and a spacious indoor area where dogs can relax, socialize, and feel comfortable. Because I care for dogs every day, I am familiar with feeding schedules, exercise needs, basic obedience reinforcement, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need extra patience and attention. Safety, communication, and plenty of love are my top priorities, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving home-away-from-home where every dog feels welcome, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have three dogs of my own. My days are structured around feeding, exercise, outdoor time, play, and making sure my dogs are happy and comfortable. Because of this, caring for additional dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I am home throughout most of the day to provide supervision, attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. Dogs in our care receive plenty of interaction, outdoor playtime in our large backyard, and a comfortable indoor environment to relax and rest. I am available throughout the week for daycare I strive to maintain each dog's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are cared for in a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and socialize. I have a large backyard for supervised outdoor activities and a comfortable indoor area where dogs can rest and stay cool during hot weather or warm during colder months. Because I have three dogs of my own, I understand the importance of proper introductions, supervision, and ensuring all pets feel safe and comfortable. I carefully monitor interactions, follow feeding schedules and any special instructions provided by pet parents, and make sure fresh water is always available. I treat every pet as a member of our family and provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation throughout the day. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away.
“My puppy Sonic and I are so lucky to have found someone as reliable and trustworthy as Evelyn. I got many videos of Sonic throughout the day and he was just having a blast. I will be booking again. Thank you Evelyn !”
“My girls had so much fun that when we started driving away, she began winning! Tracy and Steven were very welcoming and treated her like family. They sent pictures all day and kept in touch effectively. I'm definitely grateful to them. I will book again, and you should too! Thank you again Tracy & Steven. Now my girl will sleep the night away!”
“I was honestly very nervous using an online dog sitter for the first time because my biggest fear was being scammed or something happening to my dog. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, Paloma made me feel completely at ease. She communicated with me throughout the entire day, sent plenty of pictures and updates, and was always quick to respond. It was so comforting seeing how loved, safe, and cared for my dog was while I was away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. I’m so grateful for the experience, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Alicia was so amazing with GG she went out of her way to make sure All the care instructions were done it was a pleasure talking with her she’s super sweet I feel very comfortable having GG stay with her and I would definitely highly recommend her.”

“Any words of praise I leave for Giselle are nowhere near enough! She is reliable, responsive and flexible. She is so great with my dog - managing his energy, and getting him to cooperate. She is caring and kind, and really wants to connect with the pet and the pet parent. My dog always comes back from walks with her tired and ready for a long nap. He's so excited to see her every single time! I trust Giselle completely - she's even taken my dog out and had access to my house when I wasn't home. Highly recommend her.”
“I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.”

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”

“Eilleen was great with our cockapoo Wesley - he seemed very excited to see her for his check-ins! She was also super helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling around my new job, which we’ve really appreciated.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. What truly sets me apart: Deep, Lifelong Experience: I have loved and cared for pets across the entire spectrum—from being a former Golden Retriever owner to adopting an elderly Tuxedo cat. Whether handling large, enthusiastic breeds or patient senior companions, I understand their unique needs. Active, Versatile Care: As an experienced dog walker, my current routine includes regularly walking a high-energy Cockapoo. I am proudly Pitbull-friendly. The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings. This wide window allows me to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and potty breaks exactly when they expect them. Because I manage my calendar carefully with a 3-day advance notice window, I am able to guarantee that when your pet is on my schedule, they receive my completely dedicated, active companionship and attentive care exactly when they need it most. My approach to pet care is rooted in deep empathy, household security, and strict adherence to an animal's natural comfort zones. • Home Security & Integrity: I treat your home with the utmost respect. This means strict double-checking of door locks, ensuring gates are securely latched during backyard play, and maintaining a calm, hazard-free environment indoors. • Routine Consistency: I follow your instructions to the letter. Whether it's morning feedings, dedicated mid-evening playtime, or ensuring the litter box is perfectly clean before bed, consistency is how I keep your pets feeling safe and secure. • Patience with Sensitive Pets: I bring a calm, grounded energy to your home. I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.
About: I know the specific 'sad eyes' when you pack your bags. My goal is to make my home feel your home and know the exact ways your dog likes their ears scratched, so your dog feels like they’re on a vacation, not just waiting for you to return. I’m home full-time, an early riser, and an active person so I can easily take on your dogs routine and any special needs or requests. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood with sidewalks. I have three children who love dogs as well and understand safety around meeting new dogs. We are a dog family and love to cuddle!

“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy! I will definitely be using Carolina again! Thank you so much Carolina for taking such good care of Maggie during her stay!”
“Teresa is so sweet and kind. You can tell she really loves animals. Kuma had a great time with her and he’s someone that takes a while to warm up other people. It probably helped that her own dogs are so welcoming as well. I highly recommend.”
“We would give 10 stars if we could! Tricia had our Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard mix Lenny for a little over a week and it was the first time we had ever left him anywhere. At our first meeting, it was clear that Tricia has a tremendous amount of experience and know-how when it comes to dogs, and I knew immediately that we were in great hands. She calmed our nerves and assured us that she would keep us updated while we were away. She helped our guy settle into a routine quickly and she did an extraordinary job handling his food issues (we sent pre-made table food for her to give him). While we were away, she was an excellent communicator and sent us various pictures of him during different times of the day. He looked so happy that we were afraid he wouldn't want to come home! When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, clean, and showed obvious affection towards Tricia. We are so incredibly relieved that we found her to watch Lenny if and when we need to travel without our boy. With gratitude, from Laura (Lenny's Mom).”
“I am so happy to have found Jenny and Geoff! They took wonderful care of my 75-lb dog, Sawyer. After checking to make sure that he’d enjoy it, they gave him lots of play time with their kids and other dogs and treated him to multiple trips to the dog park. He started to show signs of an ear infection the day before I had to drop him off, and they were so kind about cleaning his ears twice a day. And they sent me daily photos and videos of him playing and cuddling. I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t want to come home again! Highly recommend!!”
“I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible care Christina and Nick provided for our Sammy. From the very first meet-and-greet to the final pickup, it was clear that our pup was in warm, capable, and loving hands. Daily updates with an abundance of adorable photos gave us peace of mind. If you're looking for dependable, experienced, and compassionate pet sitters who truly treat your pets like family, look no further. Christina and Nick are the gold standard.”
“We are so pleased with the care our dog received while staying with Laura and Daniel. They treated our dog with kindness and compassion. We are beyond grateful for your wonderful service. Thank you.”
“Desi and Marilyn are fantastic! They are very kind and clearly love and understand animals. They were able to get my anxious Bernadoodle around other dogs in a gentle way that didn’t seem to overwhelm my pup. The set up for dogs is amazing. These dogs are probably having a better time than the owners on vacation. The responsiveness to any texts was within a min and included some pictures which is fantastic for a nervous first time Rover boarder parent. I would highly recommend them for any pets stay.”
“Marisol is amazing! They treated our pups like family, have a very high end and clean set up, and were excellent with communication. We’re already booked for our next trip!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Funda. From the moment I contacted her, she was responsive and accommodating. The quality of her work is exceptional, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Five stars all the way! The service and the overall experience were outstanding. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will recommend her to everyone I know.”
“Repeat stay and experience with Katherine is once again very helpful,communication is great. Provides proper care ensuring dog receives medication. Provides updates and truly cares for well-being and health of fur baby. 🤍”
“It was wonderful to have Jenise take care of our dog while we were away. She was very responsive and so easy to communicate with. We really appreciated the daily video updates. Would definitely book her again.”
“Maureen was wonderful. She made Bailey feel welcome. Additionally, she helped us to have a high level of confidence in the environment that she was create for our dog. We will be going back to her in the future.”
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Siram and Rekha are a blessings to my family. Caliber my Golden Doddle is my whole world and the minute I met Siram and Rekha we bonded and I feel comfortable I was leaving Caliber in the best care and his 2nd home. Caliber gets along well with Milo. As long as they would have Caliber when I need a second home Siram and Rekha is my only option. Thank you both.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup while away on vacation! Received lots of great daily updates and when our return flight was cancelled Katherine was so understanding and flexible! So great to know someone who cares and is so compassionate!!!”
“Here's a shorter version: --- I recently booked Angela for two nights, and I'm thrilled with the care my dog received. Angela provided regular updates with photos and videos, ensuring my peace of mind. My shy dog quickly warmed up to them, and all his dietary and exercise needs were perfectly met. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house. Highly recommend Angela for reliable and loving pet care.”
