Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kirkville

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kirkville
“I can’t say enough about how Christine and Matthew made me feel so comfortable leaving Riley with them when we were out of town! They kept me updated on how she was doing every day. When we arrived to pick her up, I thought she might want to stay!”

“Yakelin took such good care of Moose. Moose came out of her house with a big smile on his face. Yakelin is very friendly and easy to work with. We’ll be sure to be booking again next time we head out of town. Much appreciated!”

“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”

“Took great care of our pup despite some anxiety that she had during her stay, and was very communicative during her stay. We received plenty of photos and videos which put our mind at ease! We know Maple is in good hands with Hujin!”

“Rachel was excellent!! She sent me so many photos of Betty having a good time with her dog, as well some content of Betty lounging around with her kids. I felt at ease my whole trip because I could tell my dog was cared for and most of all, happy. I would for sure book with Rachel again!”

“Maytte is a gem! We have two very shy dogs and weren’t sure how they would do staying with a new person. They loved her and warmed up to her at the meet and greet we set up. It made going away much easier. Maytte sent updates every day, with pictures and videos of the dogs. We could tell they were loved and well cared for. Maytte went above and beyond, buying them each a harness for walks and new toys. We’ve already booked her for our next trip.”

“11/10. My dog had such a great time with Jose, it’s like she’s the one who had a vacation! Jose is extremely good about communicating and sending pictures, and it was a really nice experience to receive updates throughout my dog’s stay without needing to prompt for them. My dog had ample space to get her energy out, and with an additional bonus of having an active sitter to do activities with, there was never a doubt that she was receiving anything less than the care I’d provide her at home. I recommend Jose to anyone looking for a reliable sitter, a comfortable stay for their pet(s), and peace of mind—my dog is certainly looking forward to another stay!”

“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”

“Donna hosted Luna for the day and has such ease with the intro of other dogs and keeping them happy. She reassured us that Luna was happy, safe and enjoying her stay! Donna goes out of her way for her clients and we so appreciate her!”

“Angela was fantastic! She loved my dog Maggie as if she were her own. She sent pictures daily. Maggie made herself right at home, and definitely enjoyed her time with Angela!”


About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Tawni was with my dog, Ivy Rose. This was a last-minute request and I was so nervous to leave Ivy while we went to the beach — I even cried when I left her. Tawni immediately reassured me that Ivy would be in great hands. She kept in constant contact the entire time, sending lots of updates and pictures, which truly gave me peace of mind. What really stood out is how mindful she was of Ivy’s temperament. Ivy can be apprehensive in new situations, and Tawni went out of her way to read her body language, respect her comfort zone, and make sure others gave her space. She even made sure Ivy was the only dog in her care, adjusting her schedule so my girl could feel completely safe. It’s rare to find someone so caring, attentive, and communicative. Tawni went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave Ivy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who treats your pet like family.”

“Jenna was super friendly and laid back. She was cautious and had a meet and greet to see if my dog would get along with her dog before accepting my booking. She sent pictures to me while my dog was there and kept me updated on his days there. I will Definately be using Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dog.”

“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”

“Debbie was amazing! She was in constant contact with us, and proved regular updates and photos of our Zac playing and having a blast. Super caring and very sweet, she provided a fun and loving environment for Zac that a normal kennel could not match. I would absolutly reccomend her again, and will be setting up future play dates for Zac and Freya. Thank you Debbie!”

“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”

“Bridget took excellent care of my cat while I was away! She left very detailed notes and always sent adorable pictures. Have already rebooked for more drop-in visits!”

“Adriana provided thoughtful summaries after each visit that always reassured me that my cats were happy and in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again.”


“Zoe is very responsive and was great to work with! She stopped by a day before we left for a meet and greet and was able to spend time with our cats, feed them, and give medicine! Will definitely work with again.”


“We are so pleased with Kass’s great care of our 2 kitties. She’s reliable, kind and a true pet “whisperer”. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back again in the future. Thank you Kass!!!”


“Our household has several special needs cats that all have a different care routine. Aubrey did an amazing job navigating their different requirements and respecting each of their very unique personalities and special needs. I will 100 percent be booking again in the very near future”


“Maggie was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my fur babies while we were on a family vacation. Will be rebooking and recommending her to friends and family! Please consider her!”


“Kristi is nothing short of a magical Cat Whisperer. I think at least one of our cats is disappointed that we came home from vacation because she was so much fun! She is highly recommended, very dependable and sets the bar for pet sitters.”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”

“She comes to see our cats twice a day while we are out of town and you can tell our cats are so much happier! She also goes out of her way to bring in the mail and any packages left at the door. She will also help out being out and in the garage and recycle bins when needed. She has truly been great for our family ❤️ Thank you as always!”

“Hannah was amazing. Super fast responses! She gave us great peace of mind while we were gone for so long. She was always on time, and always sent us pictures of the things we asked her to do (food, water, two litter areas). Our cats are super skittish but she managed to snap a quick pic of one and sent that as well. Our kitties were very well taken care of and we can’t thank Hannah enough.”

“Alison&Robert were excellent pet sitters for my two cats. I will definitely use them again. They took pictures, played with them, worked on their clicker tricks, and kept me informed about how they were doing overall each day. They even taught them new tricks!”

“Did a great job with drop-ins for our three cats over Christmas! Our senior cat gets daily medication and our other two have their own quirks. I was confident they were safe and being cared for with great communication and pictures.”

“This was our second time booking Kilie for our two finicky cats. She was totally on top of things, and everything went perfectly smoothly. Having someone we can trust, and who’s so easy to work with, makes us feel much more comfortable traveling away from home, even just for a day or two. Thanks again, Kilie! We’ll be booking again soon!”


“Our pup has separation anxiety and can't be left alone. Chelsea was very accommodating of our schedule and his needs. She provided lots of updates and gave him lots of love. We'd highly recommend her.”

“It was our first time using Rover and we really lucked out with Crystal! We opted for daily drop-ins and Crystal provided updates and pictures everyday. It's hard leaving your pets behind while you are on vacation but the daily updates really helped put us at ease and the photos were an extra bonus. We would definitely recommend Crystal!”

“First time using rover and I really appreciated Bekki's prompt response for a last minute trip for a few days. Bekki kept me updated throughout my time away and took great photos of my sweet kitty. She even brought some extra food for him since I was running low! Although, i didn't get to meet Bekki due to short notice, I would definitely book her again!!!!! Thanks so much Bekki!”


“I'm so happy we chose Sophia to care for our kitties! She is communicative, responsible, and very caring when interacting with our pets. I appreciated the daily videos, photos, and updates she always provided. I will definitely use her again next time I am on vacation.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kirkville
“D treats our pet like her own. We love having her as our go-to sitter for our pup! I would 1000% recommend her again and again! It's such a relief knowing our dog is getting the love and care she deserves while we're busy with our everyday lives. Whether it's a last-minute pop-up visit or our regular daycare days, D is always fantastic!”

“Christalle is the best! She watched my pup during the work day and was so attentive to him. He had so many walks and play sessions and was truly tired at the end of the day… which is hard to do with such a high energy little guy. She was patient with my schedule and clearly loves animals.”

“thank you erix for taking such good care of my lincoln! he must’ve had a blast because he was so tired after! we will definitely be contact you for more bookings!!”

“Suanny took good care of our furry girl and was flexible and responsive with drop off and pick up. Brownie was very happy and calm at pick up. Highly recommend!”

“I feel very fortunate to have found Susan to watch George for me on a weekly basis. He always gets so excited as we pull in to her driveway, and can’t wait to get out of the car and get into her house! That’s so reassuring to me. She always communicates very well, sends lots of pictures, and has taken George last minute on several occasions. I highly recommend!”

About: Your pets will be well taken care of under my supervision. I love to run and walk so your dog will have lots of exercise. I am willing to give medications if needed, I have experience from working at ASPCA. I also love to groom and give baths so your dog will never come home dirty, and nails can be trimmed as needed. Animals are my main priority, and I am currently apprenticing to become a full-time groomer. So this is exceptional experience for my resume. My clients shouldn't have any doubt that their pup/fur baby is not taken care of, and I will only be a phone call away if needed. I have a very flexible schedule, and will always put my clients and their animals first. I currently have an open schedule and a house to care for your pets if needed. I'm available anytime and would love to take the time to care for your fur babies! I have a yard with a long runner for pets that need the extra running space. I also provide long walks and minimal training and grooming. I have 6 years experience grooming dogs.
“Michelle is always incredible with our girl. Tofu comes home with the biggest smile on her face and always smells wonderful. I think “Miss Michelle” (what we call her to Tofu) must keep an incredibly tidy and lovely-smelling home :)”

“Daylin is our go to sitter for our 18-month doodle! She is very quick and responsive - even when I forget to request our booking until last minute. We receive pictures throughout the day and Cooper always looks like he's having fun. She's always accommodated all our food requests and pick up / drop off time changes without hesitation. We will definitely continue to use Daylin and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: I have had many dogs over the years and have trained and cared for all ages and stages. I have experience with reactive dogs, resource guarding, post surgery care, wound care, and medication. I have medic training and am not squeamish when it comes to wounds or illnesses. Public meet ups take place at Ryder park in Dewitt or Canal Landing in Fayetteville. When requesting please provide date and times you are free to meet. I do not offer tours of my home. After a public meet up I can arrange a tour of the yard if needed. This is for safety of dogs and people. Taking a break from the 9-5 job and staying home hanging with the dogs. Have availability to take on a few more dogs due to the passing of my current clients pets. Dogs are unique with their own needs and boundaries. I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs can access using a doggy door. Each dog (or family if siblings want to be together) are booked into their own room that is set up for their specific needs. The dogs gets to decompress and given whatever space they need to be happy and relaxed. I have crates of every size if the dog needs one. I do not crate unless there is a safety concern. Dogs have free reign of the house and yard as long as I am home. If I am not home the dogs are in their rooms which are video monitored (maximum of ~4 hours). The rooms are closed off with gates so dogs have open view of hallways. I use TV or music to create background noise. Dogs do not interact without supervision and any dog introduction is done slowly and never forced. The house is large enough that should a conflict arise the dogs can be placed in separate levels of the house and not interact. When dogs stay with me I see them as my dogs and treat them as family.
“Ashley was great! She was on-time and flexible with our schedule. She was available on short notice, which was very helpful! She sent us a video of our pup relaxing and watching a movie on her lap while we were out and about, which made us feel good about his doggie day care experience.”

About: (Saying up front that I am not comfortable using a prong collar, so if that’s something you use on your dog, I don’t believe I’m a right fit for the service you want. Please don’t invite me to your home and surprise me with a prong collar—I will not use it on your dog.) Now here’s my bio: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication with regular updates and photos. I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time! I work remote full time and have a fully fenced in back yard so I am able to watch your dog or cat full time. On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends! I do allow pets on the furniture, just not in my bed, and have a fully fenced in yard for playtime, as well as the ability to take your furry friend on walks as well! Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
“Our dogs were well cared for and tired out when we picked them up! Extra attention was given to special dietary instructions for one of them and pick up and drop off was efficient. We were glad to use them again and know they were in good hands!”

“Gunner enjoyed his stay and we felt relieved with him in Diana’s care. Very lovely young lady with best interest of pups in mind. Would use her again. She was awesome with last minute request. Thank you!!”

“Our usual sitter Chelsea was unavailable and recommended Marisol. Isla loved her time with Marisol and Benito! This is the first real off leash (fenced in yard) play she's had with a dog closer to her size and she loved it. They really made her feel welcome and taken care of and all that play left her tuckered out. We even got ideas for a couple new toys for her.”

“Bruno absolutely loves to see Eden and have her stay and care for him. He is a very active Border Collie so he totally enjoys going on several walks with her. Eden understands his needs and cares for him with great enthusiasm.”

About: I’ve always felt a special connection to animals and I love spending time with them. I grew up with 4 dogs, 5 cats, and 2 rabbits, so I’m comfortable around lots of different animals! I accept pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, and my top priority is caring for your pet and keeping them healthy and happy!

“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”

About: I enjoy animals and have had many experiences with cats and dogs. I've house sat for many friends and family in the past. I enjoy providing play time and positive reinforcement to any animal. I work in education and available for weekdays and weekends. My schedule can be flexible to fit your needs! Let's connect to see how I can help! I will provide individual attention and love to your animal. I will be able to play and be safe when interacting with your pet. I also will offer encourage positive reinforcement to whatever trainings you need.
About: Hi, I’m Aubrey! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since 2014, and spending time with animals is one of my favorite things. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to make sure they feel safe and well cared for. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part-time, and can fit your pet’s care into my daily schedule! I have two kids with flexible schedules as well. I will keep your pet safe and sound in your home by following your care descriptions! This can include walking, crating, playing outside and inside play.
“John is an excellent dog walker and care taker! Having someone come by my place that I trust is a huge relief. Even in warmer weather Benny still got outside and got great exercise. Thanks so much John!”

About: I’ve had numerous pets over the years, and rescued my dog off of the side of the road. I currently have two cats and my dog, and I have two daughters. I’m very responsible and would love to work with you and your family! My work schedule is very flexible and I am looking for opportunities for more fun and creative professional work. My daughters are school aged so they’re gone during the day, and I am often available evenings and weekends. Due to my dog’s personality, I cannot provide doggie daycare or boarding services. Due to my dog’s personality, I cannot provide doggie daycare or boarding services.
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of pets. At one point in my life, I had 8 different pets (2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 2 rabbits). I am currently a full time student , and have optional lectures. Every day is different, and each day may depend on my class schedule! I plan to do client home visits and walks! I am very comfortable with all ranges of pets, and will be able to care for your pets in any way you ask of me.
About: I’ve have cared for many dogs in my lifetime. I frequently house sat for friends, and family. I typically hike local parks and would love to take your best friend for a walk while I get exercise myself. I am currently walking in parks daily and would love to walk your dog while I’m getting exercise. I can provide 30 minute or hour long walks in your neighborhood or a nearby park. I typically spend more time with a dog than the typical owner. I love dogs immensely and give them my full attention when house sitting.
About: Growing up my family owned a dog as well as a cat, and I helped tend to the care of both animals in the home. I believe that having this responsibility engraved in me from a young age has helped shape me to be a solid pet care taker now. I was able to experience first hand the changes in a pets life as they age, both behaviorally and physically. I also have taken care of friends and family’s pets in their homes while they are away, most owning multiple types of pets from dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I currently work a full-time job at a bakery. My shifts/days off would be: Tuesday-Friday 4am-2pm Saturday-Sunday open availability For any overnight sitting needs, I will probably do best with an owner looking for a weekend sitter as my 10hr shifts can be a long time away from the home. On the other hand, for any drop in visits or walks I am free after I get out of work at 2pm to assist in any late afternoon care! As well as my open availability on the weekends I can not unfortunately offer to care for pets in my own home, as it is unfenced and has a cat residing that does best as a single pet. This is something I can recognize, so it is best that I come to the clients home. A pet communicates with people in so many ways, and the best way to create a safe environment for both you and the pet is to understand those behaviors. I have a good understanding of reading an animal and when boundaries are being set, whether they are done with play time and need space, or need some extra attention. Any pet care details left by the owner, I follow very closely to give the pet the closest experience they can get to a typical day in the home with the owner.
About: Hello! I graduated high school in 2022. During my senior year I attended the Bixhorn Technological Center for Animal Science Boces. There I learned a plethora of skills and knowledge including but not limited to, both animal behavior and phycology, as well as husbandry, nutrition, and grooming. I am trained and capable of administering insulin, as well as I have experience caring for disabled and paralyzed dogs:) I first joined rover in 2024 while attending community college on Long Island, since then I’ve worked a variety of farm jobs as well. Most recently the Suffolk county farm; there I was responsible for the care and livelihood of a variety of livestock from poultry, goats, pigs, llamas, horses, and cows. Please feel free to reach out with questions about farm help as well I would love to do it again! I stepped back from rover this past year for personal reasons, however I just transferred to SUNY ESF and would love to get back into pet care! Right now, I am attending SUNY ESF here in Syracuse NY. I am looking to explore the city and help others with needed pet care :) I am available for overnight care if contacted in advance, but I am always available for regular potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I have experience both coming for visits and staying in home for pet sitting,
About: I have had pets in my family for all of my life. Always dogs and cats, but also many different reptiles, birds, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters and both fresh and salt water aquariums. It is all too much work to keep so many pets myself, so I figured Rover was a way that my family and myself can share our love for pets with others’ animals. I am experienced with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. Special care or medicines are not an issue for me. I work evening hours, typically 3 or 4PM until 10pm-12am. My wife works 8am- 4pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and works from home on Monday and Thursday. We have two responsible teens who also help with our pet care. Someone is almost always home throughout every day with the exception of up to 2 hours in the afternoon. I have a fenced in yard and an 8 year old dog who loves to play with other dogs. She enjoys when our friends bring over their dogs and she gets to run around in the yard with them. We have a gate to use in the stairs in case the dogs want or need a break from one another. Visiting pets will be kept in the downstairs of the house so the cats have a safe place upstairs. Most of the fenced in backyard is covered by cameras for your peace of mind. As an added bonus, my daughter has a dog agility course complete with jumps that she loves to run our pup through. Your little friend will get plenty of exercise. We also live on a quiet dead-end circle that provides a nice leash walking area with minimal traffic. As far as caring for your pets on your home, I will follow your instructions precisely and leave your house as-is.

About: I grew up in Georgia surrounded by animals — we had a dog and four cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life.

About: I have extensive experience caring for homes and animals of all kinds. Animal care is a primary source of joy and income for me. I also teach yoga and love to practice with the animals I stay with. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and am willing to learn more about other animals that need care while you're away. I will add, there is no option to add rates for animals aside from cats and dogs. I have an additional rate for animals in tanks or cages at a rate of $10 per tank/cage per day. After leaving my office job to fully embrace my passions, I’m now living the dream and dedicating myself to what truly inspires me—providing exceptional care for animals! Along with being a dedicated pet sitter, I’m also a yoga instructor and a songwriter, constantly striving to grow these professional paths. One of the best parts of my transition is the flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to offer personalized care to each of your pets. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a hike in nature, or a playful afternoon indoors, I can adapt to your pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention and love they deserve. I take pride in offering luxury-level care for your beloved pets. During house-sitting stays, I ensure they receive ample attention and playtime to support their mental and physical well-being. As an avid hiker, I make it a priority to get outside daily so with your permission, your pets will enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air under my care. To provide the highest standard of care and give you complete peace of mind, I kindly ask that any special care instructions be shared with me prior to my stay and documented in detail. This allows me to tailor my approach and ensure your pets' needs are met with the utmost attention and professionalism. DISCLAIMER: To ensure the highest level of care and accountability, I kindly ask that all animals in the household be included in the booking, regardless of the level of care they require. As your pet sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure that all animals in the home remain safe and well during my stay. I also appreciate a tidy home with access to basic amenities to create a comfortable and productive environment for everyone. House sitting is a holistic responsibility, encompassing the care of your home and all its furry, feathered, or scaled residents, ensuring the entire household remains harmonious. Thank you for your understanding and for entrusting me with the care of your home and pets. I look forward to working with you!

“I can’t say enough about how Christine and Matthew made me feel so comfortable leaving Riley with them when we were out of town! They kept me updated on how she was doing every day. When we arrived to pick her up, I thought she might want to stay!”

“Yakelin took such good care of Moose. Moose came out of her house with a big smile on his face. Yakelin is very friendly and easy to work with. We’ll be sure to be booking again next time we head out of town. Much appreciated!”

“Took great care of our pup despite some anxiety that she had during her stay, and was very communicative during her stay. We received plenty of photos and videos which put our mind at ease! We know Maple is in good hands with Hujin!”

“Rachel was excellent!! She sent me so many photos of Betty having a good time with her dog, as well some content of Betty lounging around with her kids. I felt at ease my whole trip because I could tell my dog was cared for and most of all, happy. I would for sure book with Rachel again!”

“11/10. My dog had such a great time with Jose, it’s like she’s the one who had a vacation! Jose is extremely good about communicating and sending pictures, and it was a really nice experience to receive updates throughout my dog’s stay without needing to prompt for them. My dog had ample space to get her energy out, and with an additional bonus of having an active sitter to do activities with, there was never a doubt that she was receiving anything less than the care I’d provide her at home. I recommend Jose to anyone looking for a reliable sitter, a comfortable stay for their pet(s), and peace of mind—my dog is certainly looking forward to another stay!”

“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”

“Angela was fantastic! She loved my dog Maggie as if she were her own. She sent pictures daily. Maggie made herself right at home, and definitely enjoyed her time with Angela!”

“Jenna was super friendly and laid back. She was cautious and had a meet and greet to see if my dog would get along with her dog before accepting my booking. She sent pictures to me while my dog was there and kept me updated on his days there. I will Definately be using Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dog.”

“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”

“After our dog boarding situation fell through for the week of Christmas, I stumbled upon Matthew and Christie (and their kids) on Rover. Not only were they able to accommodate our last minute reservation, but they were incredibly flexible when a million things went wrong on the tail end of our trip causing delay after delay. All that was awesome, but mostly it was their care and love for our dog (who’s truly the baby of our family and we are all just head over heels for) that was apparent and left us feeling completely at ease. We will absolutely be hitting them up again! We are so grateful to have stumbled upon such a caring loving family to care for our pup when we go out of town.”

“Thomas was awesome! My wife and I have been using Rover for a few years, and this was our first time booking with him. The experience exceeded our expectations. We have a very shy Schnauzer, but Thomas and his family treated him like one of their own. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and made him feel comfortable while we were away. We also ran into some unexpected complications when returning from our trip, and Thomas was incredibly understanding and accommodating. His flexibility and willingness to help made a stressful situation much easier and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your fur baby with love and care, I highly recommend Thomas. We will definitely be booking with him again!”

“If you want your dog to be in a loving, beautful home with great, responsible, happy, and experienced people - Becky and her family should be a top choice! She welcomed and took care of Ruby as if she was her own. Exercised and walked her often. Played with her and sent many happy pictures. Becky is a 5-star sitter!”


“Cassidy saved my life with a last minute booking for a 6 day boarding for my 2 year old Dutch Shepherd, Maple! I received pictures and videos daily, which my family and I enjoyed throughly. I was so relieved to find a trustworthy person and facility that did more than just feed and walk my dog twice each day. Cassidy’s expertise and experience with Dutch Shepherds was also a huge plus, given how high energy Dutch Shepherds are known to be. I will definitely be booking again in the future! Thanks Cassidy!”

“This is Zena's second time with Sam and she loved it. Sam is great with Zena. Sam is aware of Zena's triggers and needs. Zena had a full yard to hunt and play in. Sam sent videos and pictures daily and of Zenas activities and communicated in a friendly and timely manner. Zena loves hanging out with Brown Dog! Without a doubt, I will make more reservations. Thank you Sam!”

“Can’t stress enough how great Ashley and her husband were at looking after our two German shorthairs! They kept us well informed with updates and lots of picture and went to lengths to make sure the dogs were comfortable and happy.”

“Lindsey was amazing with my puppy! She kept me updated throughout his visit, sent lots of pictures, was patient with my neurotic puppy mom anxiety while I traveled. It put my mind at ease that she was so responsive, and my fur baby had a lovely time and was taken excellent care of.”
