“Stephanie took wonderful care of our Chihuahua, Ms Hazel Nut Mutt Face (aka Hazel) while we were visiting family in the area. I was a little apprehensive about leaving our pup with someone we hadn't met before, but as soon as we met Stephanie and saw how kind, gentle, and caring she was, I immediately felt at ease. She kept us updated throughout our pup's stay with frequent communication and adorable photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We were so pleased with the care she provided that we'll definitely be booking with Stephanie again whenever we visit family in the area. I highly recommend her!”
“Inge was very responsive, sent pictures of our boy every day, was reasonable in pricing and her own was very clean! She allowed us to have a stress free time away, knowing our dog was safe and cared for!”
“Definitely recommend Chris & Lindsey. This was my 1st time using Rover and I was nervous. They communicated with me frequently throughout the day and kept my mind at ease! If the need arises again I will absolutely book again with them”
“Carrie B. and her family completely and thoroughly took care of and loved our pups! You could tell because when Bruno and Boone, came home, they were so loving and happy. From walks, pats, playtime, feeding, and treat time, Carrie did it all, as seen from the pictures and text messages. We will definitely be contacting her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Alex and her family took such great care of my Harley who has a lot of separation anxiety. Plenty of update pics to ease the mind! Will definitely be continuing to put Harley in their care for the future. Thank you!!”
“Mikaela was really great! She was gracious to watch our pup while we attended a wedding nearby and was extremely communicative leading up and throughout his stay! We would absolutely book with Mikaela again.”
“Maegan took my two boys on very short notice without having had them before. She eased all my concerns before drop off. Once there we got the lay of the land and the boys were off and playing in no time. They came happy and tired. Thank you!!”
“Awoo, thank you very much for taking great care of our sweet Jolene! My apologies for leaving a late review & tip for your companionship, kindness and flexibility! You are an awesome human Doggo best fur-friend. We will be sure to book again. Thanks Awoo!!!”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“John was great from the start! I inquired about using him as a last minute weekend sitter. I was in full panic mode because our usual sitter was unavailable due to emergency. John arranged a meet and greet several hours later where he and our dog took to each other instantly. His house is clean and accommodating for a pup, or more! His fenced in backyard is great and the neighborhood he is in is quiet and safe. The very next morning is when we needed him for, so our dog was dropped off bright and early. I got a couple updates a day via messages and every message included at least 3-4 photos and videos. From the start you could tell he was attentive based on the questions he was asking me. We’ve never used Rover before and Luna has never stayed with anyone other than a few family members so it was a first for all of us. We would 10/10 use John again and we hope this review helps others feel at ease with his services!! :)”
“Carolyn was so amazing with our 3 year old golden, Ellie. She sent photos every day that we were away and updated us on walks or playtime. Ellie looked so happy in every picture and that made me feel confident that she was in good hands while we were on vacation. Carolyn is funny and so sweet. She’s a dog lover at heart and it shows in how she cared for Ellie. Ellie can’t wait to go back!”
“Took great care of my pup! Was willing to accommodate his special needs. Received lots of updates and pictures. My pup had a great time and was well loved. Will be booking again in the future.”
“A Big Shout Out to Brittney for taking care of our Finley for his first weekend away from home. We were a little nervous since our dog has some separation issues. But she kept us updated through text and photos and he looked like he had a great time with her and her cutie dog Pierre. Dogs got along well and our boy looked relaxed which in turn let us know we made the right choice when picking Brittney. We will definitely call her again for future help.. Thanks Brittney!!!”
“Mary is the perfect Rover for us. We left Corby, our yorkie-mix with Mary and never worried once. We knew she missed her two little dogs and would spoil Corby. He had a great time in her fenced in yard and made himself right at home on the sofa and checking out the activity outside. A quiet country setting Corby will be visiting every time we go away. She sent us picture updates and notes.”
“Mikkal’s place was perfect for our energetic pup. She had plenty of space to play and came home happy and tired out. Mikkal was very responsive and gave frequent updates. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Jack was great. He was very responsive and took great care of Luna. She had many opportunities to play with other dogs. I would recommend Jack and will contact him the next time we need someone to watch Luna.”

About: I’ve had cats for my entire life and have been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a great understanding of cat body language and experience working with everything from shy or semi-feral shelter cats to my own spoiled indoor cats.
“We are thrilled with Ella’s care of Bacon. Our Main Coon likes to behave like a guardian dog when we are not at home, but he felt comfortable with Ella. Such peace of mind during our trip. She is a keeper. We recommend her to anyone who has grumpy cats that need care.”
“Thank goodness for Jessika’s great care of our cat! We were able to fully enjoy the trip with our grandchildren without worrying about our pet’s welfare. She is so responsible and caring that we know he is in good hands. Thank you Jessika!”
“This was was my senior cat’s very first boarding and it couldn’t have gone better! Dionna was so kind and gentle with him and checking in with me each day with pictures. When I brought my cat home he acted as if nothing ever happened, no stress, etc. I would definitely use Dionna’s services again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life as my family have always owned dogs along with the occasional neighbor going on vacation. I love to go on good long walks with my dogs and I would love to do the same with other pets! My schedule is different from day to day depending on my classes. I have more free time on the weekends but also have several hour break between classes during the week. My house has a big backyard along with walking trails in forested area near by that is great on hot days. I don’t normally like walking next to roads so my favorite is to find secluded trails.
About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.
“Colleen was great! She came a few days before to meet my (high maintenance) cat and see the space. She was super warm and nice - I had no qualms about leaving my baby in her care. She updated me a couple times of day, with pictures! My cat was healthy and happy after she left, and the house looked great - she even took out my trash! I would (and will) 100% book Colleen again!!”
“We give Victoria a 5 star rating. She has been absolutely what we needed. She stayed in contact with us, made sure our cat took his meds, which is extremely important , and sat with him and pet him every visit so he wouldn't be lonely. She was prompt and stuck to her schedule. She made sure our cat had fresh water and food, and cleaned the litter box. We were anxious about leaving him but she demolished our fears and we were able to rest assured knowing our cat Maui was being well taken care of. We are so happy with her services and would recommend her to anyone with any pet!”

“We were in town for a wedding and another sitter canceled on us so we reached out to Andrea and she was able to take them last minute. Our one guy is timid usually but immediately let her pet him! We felt instantly comfortable with Andrea, her pups and her home. We knew they would be in good hands! Our pups loved both her and her husband and we are so thankful our guys were safe and happy!! If we are ever in town again, we will be booking with Andrea!”
About: Hi! I’m Ella! My passion is anything animals, and it always has been! I frequently volunteer and work with local shelters and rescues, I also have worked as veterinary assistant for 2 years so I have a lot of experience with administering medications and emergencies! I currently have 3 dogs of my own, all are under 35 pounds but get along nicely with other pets. If your pet is staying at my home and really doesn’t like other pets, I could definitely accommodate keeping them separated! I treat my dogs and others as my babies, I’m always letting them out whenever necessary, and making sure to administer any medication properly and on time, I let my personal pets on furniture and beds, but understand if you have rules regarding that and I will be sure to follow those. I have boarded friends dogs at my home before for the past two years, and have cared for both dogs and cats in others homes. I live farther off the road on 31 acres, we have a super large yard, and lots of wooded trails! If I am staying in your home overnights I will need to currently bring along my little senior dog, as he requires medication and supervision from me. He is very well behaved, and is mostly just in my arms being carried the whole time. I’m very flexible, so if you have any questions at all, be sure to reach out to me! I’m currently home full time, so your furbaby will never be left alone and have supervision 24/7! Also, if your pet has a schedule that they’re used, please do let me know so I can continue that! I prefer to take pups out on a leash as my yard is not fenced, however if you feel that your pup would do okay off leash, I can let them off for periods of time. I of course will always be right there with them and supervising! I also have a very large home, so there is plenty of room to play inside as well!
“Kelly provided 5-star doggie day care for our dog as we toured Saratoga Springs and attended a horse race at the Saratoga Racetrack. Besides being a convenient location to Saratoga Springs, Kelly’s house was perfectly set up for dog sitting with a clean food and water bowl. Kelly was so caring and wanted to know of any food restrictions and special care instructions during our dog’s stay. Kelly was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the booking process as well as during our dog’s stay. She even was super helpful with tips on where to eat and where to go for our day in Saratoga Springs. We will definitely rebook with Kelly in future visits to Saratoga Springs. You can rest assure, knowing that your dog is in great care with Kelly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Dragana and her husband were great with Sparky. He came home happy and exhausted! They provided updates on how Sparky was and how much he ate( since he’s a picky eater). We’ve found our new sitter! :) Thank you both !”
“Adam and Julia were amazing! Very responsive to messages and sent pictures durning Nala and Charlie’s stay showing us how much fun they were having with the other dogs.”

Thank you for your understanding. I have a female and male cat who are familiar with other pets. Your pet will have full range of our home. Pets will be walked frequently and on leash.
“This was our first experience with Rover and our first sitter for our “little” pup. Lauren was great. Very communicative & friendly. Her ranch was such a great experience for our dog with so much to explore. Thank you Lauren”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and plenty of personal experience with watching family dogs. Beginning in 2020, I became a dog foster and have taken care of several different types of dogs while they awaited their forever home. From an Alaskan Malamute to a Chihuahua, a 3 month old puppy to an old lady and a lazy bulldog to the most active Australian Shepherd — I am experienced with all different personalities & lifestyles! I work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. I am available to provide services outside of my working hours as long as my schedule permits! I will spoil your fur baby with lots of playtime, love and affection, as well as take them out for bathroom breaks and feed them, if applicable.
About: I have been a dog owners for 15 years. My two beautiful shitzus have since gone to the rainbow bridge. I miss those wagging tails and long walks. I would love to share my time and love with your pet. I know how difficult it is to find a sitter and be comfortable while your apart from your fur babies. I have recently retired and home all day. I live in Greenfield Center on 8 private acres nestled in the woods with a large fenced in backyard . I am retired and home all day , I mostly garden and work around the house. Pets would be an added pleasure to my home I have a fenced in backyard. I live in the country at the end of a cul-de-sac my house is one level which makes it easy for little ones and elderly pets.
“Desiree was amazing, she responds very quickly. My 2 month old puppy came back so exhausted and I had updates and pics throughout the day. I will recommend everyone to her! And she is worth tipping because she gave excellent service.”
“Carolyn watched my pup while I was in the area visiting with a friend. She was super easy to communicate with leading up to and during the the stay. Carolyn was so nice and made me feel comfortable leaving Charlie with her. I highly recommend her! Thanks Carolyn!”
“Samantha was great with my 10 month old cardigan welsh corgi. Although she’s timid and more reserved when I’m not around, Samantha managed to get her out of her shell by the end of the day. Would highly recommend, I plan to be a repeat customer for sure!”
“These are the best people my dog has encountered. They answered me for a last minute request on Rover which was a huge blessing. My dog got the chance to experience life on a boat for a day. They interacted with her the entire day, and wore her out. They both gave my dog so much love and she needed it because we're going through a hard time with a temporary small living situation. They were very respectful of how I have raised my own dog and wanted to be positive that I was okay with having my dog going on a boat ride. My dog got to swim for the first time.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
“Shari made our dog feel right at home! We couldnt have asked for a better caregiver for Hendrix! He met plenty of other dogs, went swimming, walking and had a great time. Shari sent us pictures of his advernures throughout the day and you could tell how he happy he was. Best dog sitter ever!!! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have loved taking care of dogs my entire life. I am lucky enough to be able to help with my five grand dogs. All very different ages and personalities. I’m currently semi retired and looking forward to doing something that I love. Dogs have always been a part of my life and even when we had five little kids in the house, I knew we still needed a dog to add more love and craziness. Now those kids have dogs and I really enjoy being a big part of their life and care. Best “non paying” job ever. I'd welcome the opportunity to help with you with your pups and make new friends. I would be happy to come to your home and help in any way I can. Anything from sitting with, taking out, walking, running, or just playing playing with your pups. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once.
“Tracy is incredible! She is so sweet, flexible and sincerely made it happen for us on a very last minute request and was so thoughtful about sending photos and treating your animal with such care. I can't recommend her enough! My dog was able to play with other pets with her and he was tired out from a great day later. I really just felt her support the most, which meant so much. Especially in the puppy days. Thank you Tracy!”

About: Animal Handling Experience - I have been caring for animals as a career consistently for the last 3 years. I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the last year at a reputable animal hospital and have truly found my calling in life. I feel that my experience in the veterinary field provides both pet owners and myself peace of mind when your animals are under my supervision. I know what little symptoms are concerning and important to note that others may miss. I make sure to track bathroom habits and meals. I am confident managing and giving medications to your pets while you are away. Dog Walking - Extensive experience walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I am very popular within my neighborhood and my family to care for dogs when people don't have time, and I am always punctual. I like the walks to be enjoyable for the dogs, not just a task that the walker has to complete. Overnight Stays - During overnight stays I also offer to bring in mail, packages, and water plants. When I care for an animal I make sure they receive special attention that goes beyond food and water. I play with them and provide enrichment, walks, and exercise. This includes visits as frequently as requested and caring for all the animals' special needs. Fish, Reptiles, Rodents, and Birds- I enjoy spending time with all animals, so if there are any other critters in the home I would love to help take care of them as well. I currently have a lively aquarium and have previously kept birds and reptiles so I am comfortable looking after our fur-less friends. I currently work four days a week and my shifts are approximately from 8am-6pm. I get a full hour for my lunch breaks so I am available for drop in visits and walks mid-day if the residence is within 15 minutes of the hospital I work at. I typically work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I get my schedule almost a month in advance so I am able to commit confidently to future events. I care for your pets however you need. I understand that some animals have truly interesting quirks and I'm ready to do whatever your fur baby needs. Do we need to sing a specific song to go into our crate? Do we have a 15 step dinner routine? I am here for it all, and I'll be talking to your pet throughout every step.
“Ella has been fantastic with our two dogs! She is friendly, professional, and super responsive. She has a clear love for animals and it is such a comfort to know that our pups get to spend quality time with her while we are at work!”
“Rain or shine, Abigail’s been there for us! She’s been so great with Howie and braved a very wet day to take him out for his walk. Thanks for all your help Abigail!”
About: I love animals and have been caring for pets for over 10 years! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, puppies, cats, and very young kittens. I have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I have also worked with different feeding and walking routines, given medications, and even changed dog diapers. I can easily adapt to any pets needs! I just graduated college and have a largely open schedule at the moment. I can pop in almost any time of day and am usually open to last minute visits if they fit into my schedule! I prefer week day visits but can make weekends work too if necessary. In your home I can adhere to any safety protocols you give me and take pet safety very seriously. I have a small dog at home who I keep from getting outside on her own every day, and will treat your pet with that same level of attention and care.
“Brittney was punctual and provided updates and photos to put me at ease for my dog’s first walk with her. He enjoyed his time with her and was one tired pup. Will definitely recommend Brittney to other people!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs and understands that they're more than just pets—they're family. I've personally trained both of my family's dogs, giving me experience with basic obedience, reinforcing good behaviors, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone who enjoys their company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member, and I'll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd give my own. My goal is to provide dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work in the golf industry and that has allowed me to create my own schedule as well as work both in office and from home. I am more than happy to cater my work schedule to the needs of your pup! I keep my space tidy and contained so that both puppies and adult dogs alike can thrive without finding trouble, and live in a very walkable area. I have found plenty of great short and long hiking spots in the area that are perfect for getting your pups' energy out for longer stays or higher-energy breeds.
About: I’m Jess and I’m a full time programmer looking to spend time with dogs! I have had dogs all my life including small and large (150lbs!!) I currently own 2 golden retrievers who are cared for while I’m away. Since I work fully remote and am very flexible, I decided I want to provide dogs or cats care. If there are specifics to your pet, I promise to follow them to the T. Dogs truly are a mans best friend and I want to keep them in my company! I work full time and I can care for dogs in the morning and evening. I can do an occasional walk during my lunch. I also work from home and there is some flexibility around when I can do that. I love building connections with dogs. I know that it is probably super scary for them to have a stranger come into their home. I do not push dogs past their comfort zones. I let them warm up to me on their own schedule.
“Colleen D is fantastic!!!! She cares for every need (and wants!!! LOL) my pooches Bella and Sophie have. She is reliable, caring, attentive and loves my dogs as if they were princesses and her own. She is always there for me even in short notice. I am extremely greatful for her attentive care, passion for animals and over all kind spirit. It comes without any reservation that I would wholeheartedly recommend Colleen for any type of care.”
About: My mother owns 4 dogs and I had to constantly care for them while she was away at work. I will do anything for your dog that needs to be done. I love dogs and will consider them like family no matter what happens I feel for every animal that I come across because I do not want them to be in any pain or without things that they need on a daily basis. I hope that you and your dogs will be satisfied with the care that your dogs get each and every day. I never do anything without the owners consent because it is not my place to make the call as were on what the dogs truly need. I keep everything simple for you and your dogs and will not let anything happen to you or your dogs.

About: I’m Dionna, the heart behind Close to Home. For over five years, I’ve dedicated myself to caring for animals—first as a veterinary assistant, and now through my own dog and cat boarding and walking business. My home is truly pet-friendly: dogs snooze on the couch, cuddle in bed during movie nights, and play outside in a safe, loving space. I specialize in giving each animal the kind of personalized, gentle care I’d want for my own—whether that means administering medication, trimming nails, or simply knowing when a pup needs a little extra love. When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—because to me, they are 🐾❤️ I’m currently working part time and soon to be a stay at home mom! I’m looking to expand my business and make dog watching/boarding and day care my full time job! You’re pets safety and comfort while staying in my home is my top priority! All of my animals get along great with others! With that being said I have a whole room in my home dedicated to the care of the pets I watch! This way if you’re pet is nervous during their stay they have a nice quiet place to relax with tons of toys for both cats and dogs! Cat towers and beds of all sizes!
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, had a Golden Retriever litter and have my own Golden. I love dogs and also love cats alike. I had 2 cats up until recently, but plan to get one soon. I have pretty open availability. I work from home with a loose schedule. I am always available after 2pm and free all day Fri - Sun. I have a Golden Retriever myself. Having a large dog, they need lots of attention and exercise. I am very on top of feeding and walking. I have a little bit of OCD so I love to follow a schedule.
About: Animals are too good for humankind, so they should be treated like absolute royalty. I grew up with cats and had a small but successful dog-walking and pet-sitting business in my neighborhood growing up. I am more than happy to treat your pet as if they were my own <3 I currently work full time in Lake George and I'm looking for some additional income, and what better way to do that than to care for your pets! To make sure your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are away, I would love to learn their typical routine at home and their interests!

“John was great from the start! I inquired about using him as a last minute weekend sitter. I was in full panic mode because our usual sitter was unavailable due to emergency. John arranged a meet and greet several hours later where he and our dog took to each other instantly. His house is clean and accommodating for a pup, or more! His fenced in backyard is great and the neighborhood he is in is quiet and safe. The very next morning is when we needed him for, so our dog was dropped off bright and early. I got a couple updates a day via messages and every message included at least 3-4 photos and videos. From the start you could tell he was attentive based on the questions he was asking me. We’ve never used Rover before and Luna has never stayed with anyone other than a few family members so it was a first for all of us. We would 10/10 use John again and we hope this review helps others feel at ease with his services!! :)”
“Carolyn was so amazing with our 3 year old golden, Ellie. She sent photos every day that we were away and updated us on walks or playtime. Ellie looked so happy in every picture and that made me feel confident that she was in good hands while we were on vacation. Carolyn is funny and so sweet. She’s a dog lover at heart and it shows in how she cared for Ellie. Ellie can’t wait to go back!”
“Took great care of my pup! Was willing to accommodate his special needs. Received lots of updates and pictures. My pup had a great time and was well loved. Will be booking again in the future.”
“Mikkal’s place was perfect for our energetic pup. She had plenty of space to play and came home happy and tired out. Mikkal was very responsive and gave frequent updates. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Jack was great. He was very responsive and took great care of Luna. She had many opportunities to play with other dogs. I would recommend Jack and will contact him the next time we need someone to watch Luna.”
“Jude was wonderful! Very caring and loving! Great backyard for our chocolate to run in! She sent updates and pics and videos daily which was great! I would give her 10 stars!”
“Where do I even begin? Heidi and her family were life savers. I had a different host that I had booked well over a month before my trip, and on the day of drop off I could not get a hold of her. I was in pure panic mode, and I found Heidi. She lives even closer to my home so that was another bonus. I got all the pictures and updates constantly. She treated my fur baby as if she were her own. She gave my girl a homemade pup cup, sweet potato and rice on her food, and all the snuggles. I know that she was truly in the best hands, and the first host falling through was a blessing in disguise. I would definitely book with her again!”
“This is our first time using rover, our experience was great, she explained the process to us patiently, she took and sent pictures to assure us that our dog was doing great. Great experience, will book again when needed. Btw she lives in ranch, and she has really big fenced yard that allow our dog to run around...i think our dog had the summer camp experience.....”
“Julia was awesome! We were able to do a meet and greet ahead of time and my dog immediately liked her and her dog Parker. Drop off and communication was seamless. She gave me updates throughout his two night visit as well. When I went to pick up it was also super seamless and my dog has a great time with her and her furry friends. They even have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play in! Thank you Julia! We will certainly be using her services again!”
“This is the second time Peg has babysat my doggie. She is amazing. She is very patient and attentive. She plays with him and treats him like her own. Flaco loves playing with her dogs. She is in constant communication, sending me pictures and updates of my Flaco. I will definitely recommend her 100%.”
