“Josie and her husband made our little man Yoshi feel like family. She offeted great communication and checked in with daily updates. He ate well, got daily walks, and tons of playtime and cuddles. Very dog friendly home with toys and beds galore and a large backyard to play in. Paco the resident dog is friendly and playful. I recommend Josie 100%.”
“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”
“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
“Cindy is awesome! The added plus is Dasha! Both took care of our Gin so well! Gin had a blast! Cindy ensures everything is covered and communicates often with pictures and videos. We just wished we could take Dasha back home with us. Thank you Cindy for taking such good care of our Gin!”
“This is Sasha's 3rd stay with Pat this year! Pat is extremely accommodating when it comes to our dropoff/pickup schedules. This past visit, we were an hour late dropping Sasha off due to an accident blocking both lanes were driving on. We kept her apprised of what was happening via text. Pat was understanding with no problem and looked forward to seeing Sasha when we finally arrived.”
“Melissa and Carlos are amazing! We couldn’t have been happier with the care Watson received. We received several pictures daily throughout the week. They took him on walks and just treated him with so much love. When we picked him up they said if he wasn’t in such a loving home they would want to keep him. They went beyond out expectations. We look forward to his next stay.”
“Bonni was wonderful and we would recommend her to everyone. Our fur baby, Nippet, was so well taken care of and had a great time! Thank you, Bonni!”
“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”
“My Dogs have stayed with Mark 3 times now. They enjoy the day or even the week we were gone. Mark was great at communicating and sending pictures. I have both a large dog and a teeny dog and he was equally comfortable with both. I appreciated his attention to detail and willingness to give meds. The dogs both enjoy staying with him.”
“Hossanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Azula. From the start, she was so accommodating and kind, and she even met with us for two walks before Azula’s stay, which made a huge difference in helping us feel comfortable. I have very detailed (and sometimes neurotic) instructions when it comes to my dog, and Hossanna never once made me feel bad about that. She was patient, understanding, and clearly cared about doing things right for Azula. She sent us many thoughtful photos throughout the stay, and it was obvious Azula was comfortable, happy, and safe in her care. If she would have us again, I would absolutely book with her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Courtnay. We contacted her very last minute and she was so accommodating for us & our pup, which made it all definitely worth it! & Our pup loooved her so much! Lots of communication! No regrets!”
“First time using Mina and Hannah and they were great. We received many updates and pictures and our dog had a couple of walks in a short stay. Also quick to respond with the booking process.”
“Michael is the greatest. He has really been wonderful keeping my pup happy. I receive texts and pictures everyday and he always updates me on how my dog is doing. I highly recommend Michael as a sitter. My dog took to him right away that's just the kind of person he is.”
“Patricia is lovely. My dogs were well taken care of, and enjoyed being able to play with Patricia's little dog, Sophie, and another (small dog) client of Patricia's. I received pictures each morning of my travels, and Patricia communicated with me. Her home and yard are well kept, and provide a comfortable and safe environment for the pets. Having Patricia as my dogs' sitter took so much stress and anxiety of my shoulders while traveling. I definitely plan to use Patricia's sitter services when i travel in the future!”
“Holly and Rob were very caring and dedicated to hearing about my little guy. He's an older adopted dog and I was a little worried about leaving him, but they invited us over to visit before our time away from each other and that really cemented the deal. I could see they worked hard to be kind to all the animals and the people who owned them. They sent pictures and comments so I knew he was relaxed in their home. I felt much more relaxed about leaving him if necessary, knowing I have them as a backup.”
“Thank you so so much for taking care of Leo and doing an excellent job! Thanks for being so kind to us during our chaotic cross country move and flexible on the pick up and drop off times. We knew Leo was well taken care of!! Will definitely remember you when we need a doggy sitter again!”
“Jamie and Patrick are super trustworthy and have been super flexible with their schedule to allow for pick ups and drop offs to align with my schedule! Thank you so much for taking such good care of rio!”
About: I have lived with at least 2 dogs in my household for the past 20 years. Providing them with the opportunities to live fulfilling and healthy lives has been my priority. Although I am their caregiver, I consider them also to be my teachers. Learning how to communicate with them is the best way to ensure they are happy and calm, and that they feel safe. I am currently retired and spend quite a bit of time at the dog park. My dog and I are mostly inseparable. I take him with me to run errands when I can. It isn't always practical and so he minds the house when I am away. Barney is my only companion, and, even though I'm kind of a loner, Barney is NOT. He is extremely friendly and social and craves the company of other dog;, that factors into my decision to care for other dogs in my home. Barney will help me keep your dog comfortable and happy while in our care. We have a fenced back yard (4 foot). The surrounding properties have no dogs at this time. If your dog can jump a 4 foot fence, this may not be the safest home for him or her.
“Akira had a great time with Doug! It was very comforting knowing we didn’t need to worry about her while we were away. He was very flexible with our schedule and sent us a picture every day.”

“Brigit took excellent care of my cat while I was away, sending me pictures and dealing with some unfortunate throwing up well. My cat was happy with the visit ?”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter. She was gracious with me on the pre-sitting process such as meet and greet and then communicating on meeting for the keys. She shared her photos with us on the cats on each visits (close ups as I have cameras which see from far). She communicate with me on any issues with the cats (none so far) and her visits which were remedied quickly. I would like to rebook her again in the near future.”
About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
“Alexus has such a great approach towards pets, especially shy cats! My super reserved cat ended up accepting treats, my cuddle bug cat got lots of affection, and I received detailed updates with super cute photos. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”
About: My childhood cats Frosty and Jitterbug, and my baby, Blue, have been my responsibility throughout my life, and I am used to the many whims and wiles of our feline companions! I hope I always have a cat in my life, as they bring genuine happiness to me. I love spending time with my friends' and clients' cats, and am lucky to have known Alphonse, Miles, Lentil, Bean, Odo, Quark, Hayduke, Garfunkel, Ptarmigan, and more through my community and work. <3 Whether your jellicle friend is clingy, quiet, rambunctious, or reclusive, I'd be very happy to be a presence for them, attend to their needs, and provide lots of snuggles (or respectful distance) as needed.
“Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.”
“Fiery is great with my cats. It is hard to find someone who is good with cats. I am so happy I found her. She keeps me informed with every visit so I don’t have to worry about my boys.”
“Eden was great! She did everything we asked and sent pictures every day. Definitely gave us peace of mind for our first time doing drop in visits only.”
“Lauren was amazing. She came to my house beforehand to meet my cat, Levi, and to learn where his food, litterbox and supplies were stored. My cat took to her right away, and I felt very confident to leave him in her care. She was dependable and shared photos of him during every visit--usually in her lap or playing! I will definitely book her again when I'm out of town.”
“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”
“Abigail went above and beyond for my 5 month old puppy, giving her all the time and attention she could while I am at work. Would highly recommend her services to anybody!”
“Tessa was awesome and so attentive. She sent lots of great pics of Gidget and took great care of her. We had a snag in our travel plans and came back a day later and she was very flexible and communicative and made it easy to add a day to her scheduled visits. I will definitely request her next time we go out of town!”

“Lauren and Devan were so great helping my nervous little dog get comfortable and feel at home on long days in a strange place. I felt she was safe around other dogs and was so glad that she got more playful and relaxed after being there for a short time”
“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”
“My dog absolutely loved it at Cindy's house!! It's my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but Cindy went above and beyond! You can tell she really loves dogs and knows what she's doing. I definitely recommend!”
“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”
“Kind, patient, helpful, friendly, professional… Those are just some of the words I would use to describe Holly and Robert. I’m very thankful for their help with my standard poodle.”
About: Welcome to personalized care for your beloved furry friends! As a dedicated dog sitter (or cats,bunny,guinea pigs, birds, you name it!) I offer more than just sitting; I provide a tail-wagging experience filled with love, attention, and playful adventures. With a keen eye for each pup's needs and a passion for creating a safe and joyful environment. I'll ensure your dog feels right at home when you can't be there. Let's make their time away from home an unforgettable tail-wagging adventure! Jumping into experience and home life: I have taken care of pets, dogs specifically, since I was 9 years old. I am currently a stay at home mommy to my son (3 years old) and to our 3 bundles of joy. I love animals so much. They are more than just a pet or an animal, they are family. I will take care of yours with soft and gentle arms, as if they were my own. I do not professionally train, although both of my dogs are very good at what I have taught, (tricks and such). I also have no problems administering medications. I want to provide you a stress free getaway while know your babies are safe and sound. I will always send daily photos and/or videos of how your babies are adjusting to their stay. Our household is me, my fiance, our son and our three dogs. All of which will care for your babies just as much. I love that Rover allows us to provide personable stays to allow 1x1 tailored time with your pet that eases a lot of stress for everyone. I own an at home dog grooming kit which includes a dog vacuum that combs them while taking out the excess fur. Let me know if you need any deshedding services! My availability is totally available everyday! I work from home so I’m here on call for sure! If you are in need of drop-in visits, my fiance does come along for meet and greets and occasional visits as well. In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets. This includes maintaining a consistent feeding and exercise schedule tailored to each pets needs. I ensure plenty of playtime and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. Additionally, I maintain cleanliness by regularly cleaning feeding areas, litter boxes, and any pet messes promptly. Above all, I provide affectionate companionship and attentive care to make sure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”
“Melinda was very interested in getting to know our dog. She asked a lot of questions about his behavior, his personality, his normal day, etc. She was very concerned about making our dog feel like he was as much at home as possible. Peso seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We would definitively recommend Melinda for dog sitting. She was quick to respond to messages, and she sent us a picture of Peso. We would use Melinda again if we are visiting Albuquerque in the future.”
“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”
“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”
“Jody was amazing with our new rescue, Teddy. She was very communicative and worked with us on all of Teddy's quirks like separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Teddy definitely had a fun day full of fun and adventure! We super appreciate Jody working with us on such late notice and for being so kind!”

“5+ stars! Spencer was an excellent sitter for our dog Luna! He was incredibly flexible, had great communication and took very good care of Luna. We left her with him 3 different days while visiting Maine and we could tell that she had a great time and enjoyed her stay with Spencer and Buster! She was always happy and very tired when we picked her up so I know that she was well taken care of, stayed active and was very loved! We highly recommend Spencer as a Rover sitter and will 100 percent use him again if we ever return to Brunswick! :) Thank you Spencer and Buster! Buster was a cutie and Luna got along with him very well btw! :)”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
“FANTASTIC!!! If you're looking for a professional, friendly, educated alpha, you need to book through Esperita! She is very quick and responsive to messages. She picks my pup up for me, and sends me a picture msg of my dog, letting me know they made it to her place! She also sends updates with pictures! (LOVE IT!!!) I could tell my hyper GSD had a blast at her place because she's always so tired afterwards! Thanks again Rita for being sooo awesome and caring <3”
“Cecilia and family were very kind and understanding of Buffalo’s insecurity being left behind. Her dogs were very kind with my dog and had no issues. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures that reassured me that Buffalo was comfortable and safe.”

“Leah is beyond amazing and all my fur babies loved her! She always kept in communication throughout the visits and sent me pictures and videos which made me feel so much better about leaving my babies in such good hands! Thank you Leah !!”
“Cassandra has been amazing! She clearly loves dogs and treats ours with so much care and affection. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile. We feel completely at ease knowing our dog is in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had animals my whole life, and have worked in the pet industry for 6 years. My day job experience has been at 2 different local pet food stores, where I’ve learned a lot about the needs of dogs and cats, as well as body language. My old job had foster cats, so I have experience taking care of up to 10 cats at a time (feeding, litter cleaning, meds, and playtime). I also have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I love walking! I enjoy taking my own dog on short walks or really long walks to get his energy out. I have experience with high energy dogs that may pull or not be comfortable around other dogs or people. I also have experience with puppies and kittens, and special needs pets. I’ve owned 2 disabled dogs that required diaper changes, meds, and regular bathing and cleaning up after them. I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I start the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!

“Eden has been walking our Australian cattle dog for over a year, we couldn’t be happier. Our Holly is a bit of a pill at times, but Eden loves her and works well with her. She isn’t just our dog walker, she has become a friend. Thanks, Ellen F.”
“So great and kind. I had a unique situation where he came to my hotel and sat with my pup while I was at an appointment at John’s Hopkins until my sister could come get my pup for me. Highly recommend.”
About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
About: A little about me: I’ve had a dog by my side every day since I was six years old — dogs are an integral part of my life, not just something I do on the side. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament, from tiny lap dogs to a 90-pound Labrador, and from bouncy puppies to dogs in their older years. Experience: My deepest experience is with senior and special-needs dogs. My Labrador had a series of health challenges, including three separate leg surgeries. I nursed him through every recovery, which meant walking him with a support sling until he was back on his feet. When he was later diagnosed with cancer, I cared for him through hospice at home — giving his daily medications and keeping him comfortable and loved right to the end. So if your older dog needs medication, a little mobility help, or just extra patience and gentleness, that’s something I genuinely know how to do. I’m just as comfortable with high-energy dogs. That same Labrador was a handful in his younger years, so I know what it takes to keep a strong, active dog happy and well-exercised. I also love puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to walk more than one dog at a time, and I have experience with leash-reactive dogs — I know how to keep walks calm, controlled, and low-stress for a dog who needs a little extra management. Right now I share my home with two girls — a 15-year-old Chihuahua mix and a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier — so both ends of the age spectrum are part of my daily routine. Before them I’ve cared for several terriers and a Border Collie mix, among others. I walk my own dogs every single day and I’ll keep yours on a good routine too. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends who were thrilled with the care I provided — beyond looking after their dogs, I kept their homes tidy, watered plants, and brought in mail, treating each home with the same respect I’d give my own. Services: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting: • Dog walking — I keep dogs safely leashed and give them a proper outing with a good sniff, steady exercise, and a potty break, adjusting the length and pace sensibly for the weather. • Drop-in visits — I come to your home to feed, refresh water, handle potty breaks, play, and give plenty of affection, plus tidy up any little messes before I head out. • House sitting — I stay overnight in your home and keep your dog’s whole world running on schedule (feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and steady company) while also looking after your place by keeping it tidy, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. Availability: I work from home and set my own hours, so I’m around for your dog far more than the average sitter — and I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Pet care is the center of my day, not an afterthought, which means real time and attention whether it’s a midday walk, an unhurried drop-in, or being present in your home throughout the day on an overnight stay. The only exception is the occasional family commitment, which I always know about well in advance, so I can be upfront about my availability every single time. Peace of mind: Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m always happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your pup having a good time, and I’ll check in as often as you’d like while you’re away. And should anything ever go wrong, I’m able to drive your dog to the vet in an emergency — so you can travel with real peace of mind. Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I work from home, my schedule is very open and flexible, so I can build my day around your dog's needs rather than squeezing them in. The only exception is the occasional family commitment I schedule around, and because those are always planned well in advance, I'll always know my availability far ahead of time and can be upfront with you about it. To give you a sense of how I run a day: my own dogs eat at 8am and 6pm, get a 20–40 minute walk in the evening, and I stay attentive throughout the day to when they need to go out. My younger dog gets dedicated playtime with her toys, and my senior girl gets her medication right on schedule every other day. I keep that same consistency and attention for any dog in my care — sticking to your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication, and potty routine so their world stays steady while you're away. When I care for your dog in your home, safety comes first. I keep all doors and gates closed and latched, and I'm constantly aware of where your dog is — especially any time I'm heading in or out, so there's no chance of an escape. I follow whatever house rules and routines you set. I also treat your home with the same respect I give my own. When I dog-sat for family and friends, I kept their house tidy, watered their plants, and brought in mail while they were away. I will leave your home just as you left it, keep you updated with photos while you're gone, and communicate quickly about anything that comes up. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house in good order.
“Our dogs were completely into Melissa the moment she arrived! She balances leadership and direction with kindness and joy. We are excited to welcome her into our pack!”
“Hossanna is an incredible dog walker! She's reliable, loves what she does, and always gives thoughtful notes and pictures during her drop ins. I would absolutely recommend booking Hossanna for all your dog care needs.”
About: I have had cats most of my life, about 25 years, and I know that they are the bosses. They may have a reputation for being loners but most of the time they like attention, just on their own terms. I come up with clever games to get their wiggles out and treat each cat the way they like to be treated. Each cat has a different personality and that is very important to understand. I also take great photos and will gladly take oodles of super cute portraits of your furry baby so you see that they are doing well while you are away. Your cats will be well fed, with clean litter boxes and lots of purrs when you get home.
“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”
“We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.”

“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
“Cindy is awesome! The added plus is Dasha! Both took care of our Gin so well! Gin had a blast! Cindy ensures everything is covered and communicates often with pictures and videos. We just wished we could take Dasha back home with us. Thank you Cindy for taking such good care of our Gin!”
“Melissa and Carlos are amazing! We couldn’t have been happier with the care Watson received. We received several pictures daily throughout the week. They took him on walks and just treated him with so much love. When we picked him up they said if he wasn’t in such a loving home they would want to keep him. They went beyond out expectations. We look forward to his next stay.”
“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”
“First time using Mina and Hannah and they were great. We received many updates and pictures and our dog had a couple of walks in a short stay. Also quick to respond with the booking process.”
“Michael is the greatest. He has really been wonderful keeping my pup happy. I receive texts and pictures everyday and he always updates me on how my dog is doing. I highly recommend Michael as a sitter. My dog took to him right away that's just the kind of person he is.”
“Holly and Rob were very caring and dedicated to hearing about my little guy. He's an older adopted dog and I was a little worried about leaving him, but they invited us over to visit before our time away from each other and that really cemented the deal. I could see they worked hard to be kind to all the animals and the people who owned them. They sent pictures and comments so I knew he was relaxed in their home. I felt much more relaxed about leaving him if necessary, knowing I have them as a backup.”
“Thank you so so much for taking care of Leo and doing an excellent job! Thanks for being so kind to us during our chaotic cross country move and flexible on the pick up and drop off times. We knew Leo was well taken care of!! Will definitely remember you when we need a doggy sitter again!”
“Jamie and Patrick are super trustworthy and have been super flexible with their schedule to allow for pick ups and drop offs to align with my schedule! Thank you so much for taking such good care of rio!”
“Akira had a great time with Doug! It was very comforting knowing we didn’t need to worry about her while we were away. He was very flexible with our schedule and sent us a picture every day.”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
“Crystal took such good care of my older lab. He has anxiety when he’s away from home. She sent pictures and videos everyday to me to assure me he was doing well. I’m so glad we found someone that cares and loves fur babies. We will be contacting Crystal again when we travel. I highly recommend her.”
“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
“I’m so happy we found Ryan to watch our GSP on short notice when we came in town for a wedding! He is friendly and treats your dog like his own. He was excellent in communicating and ensuring our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Ryan to take care of your pets and would use him again!”
“Matthew & Thomas did an amazing job with BJ! They limited his screen time (on his Apple devices) & encouraged him with play time! I will definitely be booking them again! While I was gone they provided daily updates on BJ…that warmed my heart…🥰”
“Sophie was so wonderful with our dog Bob. Bob seemed very happy and got lots of time with Sophie and her family, and Sophie even gave Bob a bath before pickup! Sophie was also super flexible with our pickup and drop off schedule. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Ben is great. He responds quickly to communication. This is our first time using Rover and this experience was very positive for us. We have a big dog and Ben was a good fit for her and he sent us lots if photos and she looked happy in the pictures. We would definitely book with Ben again.”
