“I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for dog day care or boarding She communicates well and goes the extra mile to make your pet feel comfortable and happy Not only did Buddy have a Christmas themed neck scarf but also a Christmas toy! She clearly loves dogs and is proficient and skilled in all aspects of their care We had total peace of mind while we were away and she sent us some beautiful pictures of Buddy!”
“Magnolia was great with our dog Toby. She kept us updated with texts and photos to let us know how he was doing and was very quick in responding to all of our questions. We didn’t worry while we were away because we knew Toby was in good hands.”
“My dog had a great time with Jennifer, Thomas and their kids. They’ shared photos of her getting petted on the couch and going on walks. She was exhausted when she came home after having had a very fun day with this lovely family.”
“Christine is a life saver ! She took great care of our girl on such short notice. She sent pictures and was very quick to respond. Our pup was happy and tired when she got home. Thank you Christine !”
“This was my first time boarding a 3month old puppy, and Loretta and her partner were so fantastic! They took such sweet care of her, she was never alone and loved her time with Paprika and Akira! It was such sweet peace of mind knowing my girl was safe and happy. Thanks Loretta 💕🐾🦴”
“Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!”
“My dog didn’t want to come home! My communication and logistical coordination with Candice was super easy, accommodating, and professional. She took excellent care of my loved one. She is great and highly recommended.”
“We feel in great hands whenever we leave our dog with John. While we're away he stays in touch with photos and texts and when we return it's always clear that she's had a wonderful time. Thank you, thank you, John!”
“Deanne was great! My husband and I both felt like we were in good hands. We loved the photo updates that she sent — we could see that our dog was happy and well cared for. Will use her services again!”
“Definitely recommend! My dog had a fantastic time, and it was clear how much Ben enjoyed taking care of him. He was very communicative and sent lots of pic of our dog having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Clementine had a great stay with Gabe! I was kept up to date the entire weekend on how she was doing. She got along great with his pups and my fiancée and I were able to enjoy our weekend away.”
“I wanted to give the highest recommendation to Volha as a dog-sitter! My 1.5 year old pitbull mix stayed with Volha and her family for 3 nights (3.5 days.) I have to admit, this being my first time using the service, I was a bit nervous. Not because I do not trust Rover, but because my dog in particular is very timid, shy, and can be very introverted - so I did not know how she would take to being left for days with strangers (except for meeting Volha in the park for a few minutes a few days before.) It turns out i had nothing to worry about! She immediately took to the family and stayed on a normal behavioral and sleep schedule and seems to have had a great time. For reference, in the past, even when my dog would stay WITH me but I would take her out of town for a couple of days, she would act a bit strange after being knocked out of her normal routine. (Nothing super out of the ordinary - but she would, for example, go hide in the bathroom for a few hours and generally act very despondent.) My point is - whatever Volha and her family are doing is great! My dog came back happy, healthy, and energetic. In terms Volha's communication style, she sent me several pictures and written updates during the days when I was gone, going out of her way to be in touch and asking the extra questions to make sure that everything was okay. Pending availability, I definitely plan to work with Volha again!”
“Donna is absolutely great, very nice, accommodating and very punctual. She sent many pictures with our dog, who seemed very happy and well taken care of. We are very pleased to have met her and shall definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you, Donna!”
“Cipriana & Pamela took amazing care of our pup. They provided lots of updates & pics, which were super appreciated while we were missing the little guy. He came home happy & pleasantly tuckered.”
“Jeff was very accommodating and sweet to my dog during the entire stay. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up which says a lot about how well he was treated. Jeff is very professional and caring.”
“Franny and her husband were absolutely wonderful!! They took extra great care of our pup! I highly recommend. It was soo convenient being right down the road from camp Pontiac, where we attended a wedding.”
“Cherissa and Ricardo were great with my 4yr old pup. They took very good care of him and sent pictures of him and let me know he was doing great. I would recommend them to anyone to watch their dog! Great job thank you!”

About: Over 20 years of experience with dogs. Pulled my first dog from the ACC on 110th in Manhattan when I was 19 years old. Never looked back. I've been adopting, fostering, and rescuing ever since. Now at 41, I have my own boarding facility on a farm. ***Pick up and drop off service available*** Self-employed farm owner. My better half is also on the property full time. We are available and on call 24/7. Finding time to care for your dog(s) is never an issue. It is our pleasure to host your furry family member(s). We have individual furnished and heated kennels (with fenced outdoor runs) for our guests. There is a fenced play yard and walks are provided as well. If properly socialized and cool with the pack, all friends are allowed to hang in the house.
About: We have a beloved Cat named Chocolate, my daughters named her Chocolate because they “really love Chocolate”! I also have 2 small senior dogs that get along with cats. I have never met an animal that I don’t like…dog, cat, farm animal or wild animal. They all are special and a pet is absolutely a family member. I whole heartedly understand the love of a pet and promise to treat them as part of my family while they’re in my care.
“Magnolia has been cat-sitting regularly for us for the past year and she’s been great. My wife and I really appreciate her flexibility and the peace of mind she gives us. Would recommend !”
“Christine was amazing! Extremely friendly, accommodating, and took great care of my fur babies. I definitely would recommend! Thank you Christine!!”
“Ellen has house sat for us a few times and does a fantastic job every time. My two elderly cats have several medical needs that keep changing and she is always able to adhere to them. They both usually miss me a lot when I get home, but not so much when Ellen is watching them. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy to house sit (which is very scary when dealing with someone you don’t know). Highly recommended!”
“Rachel was ideal in every way! Great communication, totally responsible, left the house in beautiful condition, made the cat fall in love with her. My time away was stress-free knowing that Rachel was caring for my guy Herbie.”
“Abigail was the perfect cat sitter. I was so nervous leaving my cats for so long but it turns out, I didn't have to worry at all. She came for a meet and greet, learned all their names, and followed every instruction during the entire two week period. I needed twice a day drop ins for one hour each. She stayed for the entire hour, played with the cats, fed them, pet them, cleaned food bowls, replaced water bowls and cleaned their litter. She took pictures of them every time and by the end, my cats were so comfortable with her. I would hundred percent recommend her if you want a sweet, caring sitter who you can rely on.”
“Janice and Noah were wonderful! They were so communicative and sent adorable photos and videos. It was great to have the peace of mind that our kitties were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend.”
About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.
About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my entire life. My dog, Zeke and I had a companion kind of relationship, built on mutual respect and happiness; it's something I wouldn't have traded for the world. He sadly passed away in October 2025 after 12 years together, so it would be an understatement to say I'm more than happy to pour extra love to your pup. Times are tough; starting a new 'negotiations and bartering' acceptance. Reach out, the worst I can say is no! Partial payment in veggies, meat, mechanic work...etc. Community care✨ ___________________________________________________________________________ This is a new offering as of August 2024. I have discovered that adventures are my ideal experiences and would like to advertise as such! Mountain hikes, kayak paddles (>15 pounds) are my favorites, but I am open to other ideas/training requests! Paddleboarding, swimming lessons...the possibilities are endless. One hour minimum is preferred; gas and travel time to the adventure site are included. I have many mountains, lakes and trails on my list, so I do not see it as fair to charge you for that time! You will only be charged for adventure time. Depending on your pup(s) comfortability in the car, we may travel up to 45 minutes. You and I will decide together on location details, and this app will track where your pup(s) and I are at all times. Wilderness First Aid trained, canine safety versed, ample water provided, and pups will always be kept safely on the leash. Your pup will return home satisfied and tired! ____________________________________________________________________________ For a NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD WALK, please book a drop-in visit and message to remind me that you would like a walk. Availability for walks and drop-ins will change after Labor Day. Unavailable most weekdays 8-3:30, I am a caretaker by nature, and have been a teacher for the past 4years, a live in nanny before that and most recently a grade school teacher. I'm going back to school to get my licensure. Honestly, care taking and fresh air gives me clarity of mind, and the chance to peel away from the screen helps process all the new information! I am trying to practice running again too, if your canine would like to train with me. Familiar with many local trails and parks. All weather is good weather! Experience with dogs with seizures and giving various medications. Feline friend as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends ! I work at a school, but often have days and weeks off. Feel free to request and negotiate for what you need. Finding a good fit is paramount. I offer boarding very rarely. When I am in your home, I try to leave it better than I found it. I have spent a fair amount of time farming and gardening, so plants will be well cared for if asked.
About: I grew up with mid-size dogs and often cared for small dogs belonging to family friends in Pittsburgh. When I moved upstate, I became a proud cat dad to a black cat named Lola for three years, and since then I’ve cat-sat for several older cats with specific food and medication routines. I’m comfortable with cats of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m always attentive to any special needs or preferences they may have, including medications, play-times, or litter routines. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights, and pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if they were my own.
“Jessica was great— will definitely contact her again next time I need to go out of town. She was very good at communicating and sending photo updates. The house and the cats were in good order upon our return. Bravo!”
About: Hi there, I’m Chrissie, a dog lover with 15 years of pet care experience! Beyond prior pet care and volunteer experience, I’ve had plenty of foster dogs and my own, one less than active dog currently making it all the more fun for me to keep active dogs busy. I can care for and work with dogs with most any need both health wise and behaviorally. I love getting to know dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities and will be sure to follow any routine and needs they have as instructed. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions if I might be a fit for what you’re looking for whether a one-time or regular need. Always happy to do a free meet-and-greet as well. Wishing you the best as you find the right care for your furry family member(s)! Although notice is great, I am happy to take last minute bookings. With my work I can easily fit my schedule to your dog's typical exercise, engagement, and feeding routine. I would care for them however you request, and however they’re used to being taken care of. I’d follow whatever care instructions you provide along with any notes shared with me during our meet and greet.
“Emily was a great help to us when we were out of town. We experienced some technical issues with our automatic litter unit, and she communicated with us effectively to ensure the cats were taken care of and that we understood what was happening at home. She made friends with our cats, and I will book her in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Andrea. I have lived in the Hudson Valley for almost 4 years now, and have been working in the area off and on since 2014. I live with my partner, Mike, and precious pup Kona. I have always lived with dogs. And recently, have been thinking about getting a cat! I am an Occupational Therapist in a school district full time and love to farm and bicycle during my off time. I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide. I am open to any requests you might have and am great at keeping in touch with pet parents. I can always be available through text, call, or email. I’m so excited to meet you and your lovely pets!! I have a full time job, so weekends are my only availability. However, I am open to discuss any special circumstances! I might potentially be more available on a long weekend, when I am off from my school based job. I would want to care for your pets as you would or how you would want. I am great with a schedule and specific requests.
About: 🐾 Whether your family includes playful pups, curious cats, chatty birds, colorful fish, happy chickens, friendly goats, tiny hamsters, busy gerbils, or any other beloved pets, I care for them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I know there's no substitute for you, but while you're away, I will make sure your furry, feathered, and four-legged friends receive plenty of care, companionship, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. And because caring for a home goes hand in hand with caring for pets, I am also happy to help with everyday household tasks like watering plants, bringing in mail, managing trash and recycling, hanging pictures, and tackling small repairs. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and complete peace of mind for you. 🐾❤️🏡
“Kacey is amazing! She was so incredibly attentive to our 6 chickens while we were away. She sent us daily updates and ensured they were happy and healthy throughout our travels. The chicks were truly in great hands! Kacey also went out of her way to water our garden since it was so hot out, which we so appreciated. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Dim Sum had such a great stay with Benjamin and his partner on their beautiful farm! They were super helpful with being available last minute and gave Dim Sum a cozy spot to stay. Bonus points for being able to say hi to their beautiful horses too :). Highly recommend!”
“Janice’s home is a farm oasis! Janice is so sweet and welcoming and the home is so comfortable. Our pup had the best time. We will definitely be returning!”
“We were in town for an event and needed someone to watch our 5 month old puppy for the day. Christine was perfect! She is so nice and has a friendly boxer puppy. My puppy can be aloof with strangers but he took to Christine immediately even letting her hold him right away. Christine's yard is perfect and our puppies played all day. I would go back to Christine's anytime we are back in Queens.”
“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”
“Jane is wonderful! She went out of her way to help us when we had some issues with the app and with scheduling. She was clear and kind with our dog who can sometimes be a little anxious. Our pup felt right at home as soon as she walked into Jane’s house and was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Thank you, Jane! We will be back soon!”
“I contacted Loretta last minute asking if she could watch my dog Basil. She responded quickly and was able to accommodate an all day dog sit. Loretta sent me lots of pictures and updates of Basil and her sweet dog Paprika hanging out. I would highly recommend Loretta for your next dog sit!”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“This is our 3rd time using Eleanor for Sparky’s care. And we already have her scheduled again for a week in March. She continues to exceed our expectations. She has a genuine interest in Sparky and they both adore each other. We consider ourselves lucky to have made this connection with Eleanor.”
“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”
“Diana and her family provided day care to my puppy Jolene and I cannot say enough good things. She is a wonderful and attentive sitter and provided great care. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Kennedy has a fabulous time with Samantha and Michael and their adorable kids! We got updates and pictures and they were very quick to respond. We were very happy and would highly recommend them! Kennedy would love to come back to play!”
“Kery is super nice, has a great space for hosting my pup, great communication, and the wonderful experience. I highly recommend. The minute my boy got there he went right to her and didn't even look back for me when I started the car and left. That says a lot.”

About: I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals over the years. From mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks - I love to pamper them all! I've learned to understand each animals' individual needs and am hyperfocused in their comfort. Being a committed pet parent, I've experienced and indulged in all the milestones - so I'm ready for the puppy edition all the way through caring for your senior family member. Being very detailed oriented and personally spoiling my own critters, I can support even the most high maintenance of fur babies! My fiancé (also on Rover!) ensure your furbaby is entertained around the clock! I work from home and handle the early bird shift, including your pup in the sunrise (bright snd early) farm chores. My fiancé provides the daytime activities including long walks and hikes on our farm, supervised yard time, play time. Evening activities include additional walks and games. Pups will have their last walk and tucked in for the night around 1030PM. I am extremely conscious of pet safety and following instructions provided by owners. When pets are at my home, they will not have any interaction with other animals- just me and my fiancé (who is also on Rover!). Dogs will always be on a leash, with the exception of being enclosed in a secure fenced in area. We have a 1 acre fenced in yard where dogs can have supervised zoomie time. Dogs will never be left unattended in the yard. Our fur guests spending the day or night will have their own room with a bed, crate (if preferred for their comfort or if they are beavers), ad lib water, etc.
“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hello, My name is Patricia , I am originally from Ireland. I have been fortunate to have had 4 full time house dogs throughout my life in addition to caretaking for multiple other dogs over the years. I love the company of dogs and look forward to finding some 4 legged friends to go on walks with. I am retired and have a very open schedule. I am mobile and willing to drive to drop off and pickup when needed. I Have flexibility throughout weekends or extended trips if necessary I treat a clients home as if it's my own. I am a neat and organized person and believe in a healthy environment for dogs as well.
About: Hi there! My name is Alicia and was born and raised in the Hudson Valley- after some time In the city I am back in the Valley and ready to hike, spend time in nature and hang with animals. I know how important it is to make sure your pet is in a safe environment while still getting the structure and schedule they are used to. I will do my best to take the dogs out as often as you like and around the same time they normally do. I have taken care of animals my whole life. Looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your pet sitting needs! I am currently working part time from home so I have lots of time to keep your pet company! We have a nice yard and some great local parks/ trails If the need more exercise. I have an unfenced yard but will keep pups on leash and safe. I do have a two year old cat named Oyni- ideally the dog and cat get along but my in laws love hanging with him so we could have him go there if they don’t. (He is great with dogs)
“Chrissie has been walking Summer for nearly 3 weeks now and has been a tremendous help in making sure Summer gets some exercise & TLC while I am at work. If you need someone to care for your pup while you're otherwise occupied, Chrissie is the best choice and will treat your dog like she's her own. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride I depend on for now while I’m learning to drive, so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.
About: I’m a pre-vet major with a love for all animals, especially dogs! I’m 19 years old, a full time student, and have 5 years of dogsitting and dog walking experience! I have a soft spot for older dogs, as well as experience caring for young litters of pups! I walk some of my clients’ dogs in their own backyard trails, and a few I transport to local parks for our walks. I love all of my clients dogs like they’re my own, and take special care to encourage their interests, and adapt our time together to fit their personality and needs! I have 6 repeat clients that I’ve met through rover, and treasure the time that I spend with their pets. The reoccurring clients I’ve had for 8 months have become a staple in my life, and a regular in my routine. It’s so special to be the part of the week that a dog looks forward to!! Booking a few weeks in advance is a good way to ensure I’m able to work around YOUR schedule! I take pride in caring for your pets like they are my own! As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of not only respecting your dog’s boundaries, but also the rules you have for your dog! If you or your pet need to be accommodated in any way I’ll do my best to make it happen!
About: Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect. Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in. In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.

About: Animals have and always will be an integral part of my human nature. To make sure animals are provided with exercise, love and compassion are ways I express my values as an animal advocate. Keeping routine is my forte. I have most experience with dogs, all breeds and sizes! Walking is how I keep routine and promote a sense of well being for both my own animals and others 😌 Currently seeking full time pet care. Exercise takes time and I enjoy the physical aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Keeping a balance of short and or long walks. Depending on the breed I could make exercise minimal or lengthy. Currently I have a 15ft by 5ft outdoor kennel. Yard is well maintained with space and away from any roads. Private residence. I keep my small dog on a lead. Lead is also an option for other animals. My yard has plenty of space for playtime and fetching.
“Tessa was such a huge help today when, last minute, we needed someone to walk our Sella. Sella clearly took to Tessa immediately. We’ll definitely reach out to Tessa again- thanks Tessa!!”
About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.

“Magnolia was great with our dog Toby. She kept us updated with texts and photos to let us know how he was doing and was very quick in responding to all of our questions. We didn’t worry while we were away because we knew Toby was in good hands.”
“Christine is a life saver ! She took great care of our girl on such short notice. She sent pictures and was very quick to respond. Our pup was happy and tired when she got home. Thank you Christine !”
“This was my first time boarding a 3month old puppy, and Loretta and her partner were so fantastic! They took such sweet care of her, she was never alone and loved her time with Paprika and Akira! It was such sweet peace of mind knowing my girl was safe and happy. Thanks Loretta 💕🐾🦴”
“Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!”
“My dog didn’t want to come home! My communication and logistical coordination with Candice was super easy, accommodating, and professional. She took excellent care of my loved one. She is great and highly recommended.”
“We feel in great hands whenever we leave our dog with John. While we're away he stays in touch with photos and texts and when we return it's always clear that she's had a wonderful time. Thank you, thank you, John!”
“Deanne was great! My husband and I both felt like we were in good hands. We loved the photo updates that she sent — we could see that our dog was happy and well cared for. Will use her services again!”
“Definitely recommend! My dog had a fantastic time, and it was clear how much Ben enjoyed taking care of him. He was very communicative and sent lots of pic of our dog having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Peter and Monique were so attentive to our dog for a whole week. Peter was very thorough in asking all about Sooty’s needs and preferences. We really appreciated the updates and photos, our dog had a lovely time and was very well cared for. I booked Peter based on reading the reviews and would say exactly the same as others have. Definitely recommend and will be booking again in future.”
“Clementine had a great stay with Gabe! I was kept up to date the entire weekend on how she was doing. She got along great with his pups and my fiancée and I were able to enjoy our weekend away.”
“I wanted to give the highest recommendation to Volha as a dog-sitter! My 1.5 year old pitbull mix stayed with Volha and her family for 3 nights (3.5 days.) I have to admit, this being my first time using the service, I was a bit nervous. Not because I do not trust Rover, but because my dog in particular is very timid, shy, and can be very introverted - so I did not know how she would take to being left for days with strangers (except for meeting Volha in the park for a few minutes a few days before.) It turns out i had nothing to worry about! She immediately took to the family and stayed on a normal behavioral and sleep schedule and seems to have had a great time. For reference, in the past, even when my dog would stay WITH me but I would take her out of town for a couple of days, she would act a bit strange after being knocked out of her normal routine. (Nothing super out of the ordinary - but she would, for example, go hide in the bathroom for a few hours and generally act very despondent.) My point is - whatever Volha and her family are doing is great! My dog came back happy, healthy, and energetic. In terms Volha's communication style, she sent me several pictures and written updates during the days when I was gone, going out of her way to be in touch and asking the extra questions to make sure that everything was okay. Pending availability, I definitely plan to work with Volha again!”
“Cipriana & Pamela took amazing care of our pup. They provided lots of updates & pics, which were super appreciated while we were missing the little guy. He came home happy & pleasantly tuckered.”
“Jeff was very accommodating and sweet to my dog during the entire stay. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up which says a lot about how well he was treated. Jeff is very professional and caring.”
“Mildred was a wonderful sitter to work with. Great communication and prompt responses. My boy had a blast in the beautiful big fenced in yard. I definitely would book again in the future”
“Jane was our first time leaving our 18 month old pup with non-family. Though it took us 25 minutes to get there, it was definitely worth the drive. Jane offers a safe, caring dog-friendly, people-friendly home. She understood our anxiety and took time with both us and our dog. During the 2 days of boarding, Jane sent us photos and messages for peeks at how our dog was settling in, making friends, getting exercise and chilling out. A good time was had by all!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with Mary and Todd. They have a lovely home and included my dog in all of their activities: walking, running, and much more. They also kept me up to date with pics and anecdotes. I would highly recommend Mary and Todd to anyone!”
“Rosalie was very kind to our senior dog, Bob. She has a lovely, clean home with a private, enclosed back yard for him to roam around. I would hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Absolute peace of mind through the entire experience. This was only the third time with a sitter and second boarding my Whiskey dog overnight; but never have I felt as content as when he was with Judy, her wonderful family & beautiful home. Was able to completely enjoy my vacation knowing he was cared for as one of her own. I really can’t thank her enough for what that contentment was worth to me. To top it off she’s so nice!! Had pushed the date forward a day at the last minute, she was totally understanding and went with the flow. Just thank you!!!! I know Whiskey dog misses his new friends already =^_^=”
“Victoria is truly the best! Patient with our dog, super flexible with timing, very communicative, and you could tell by her messages that she really gets to know the personality of a dog and understands how to approach different dogs and different ways!”
