“My dog Poppy, a certified therapy dog, had an outstanding weekend with Kirsten and Mark! She had the run of the house and their extensive fenced property, and I think even claimed one of their dogs' beds. Kirsten sent me several photos of Poppy engaged in different activities. I had total peace of mind and was looking forward to picking her up on Sunday. You can't go wrong choosing this sitter! Highly recommended. Tom”
“I know my dog had a wonderful stay at Whitney’s because she was so relaxed when I picked her up. Great people, sweet dog and a peaceful environment for my pup, and I loved getting daily pictures! I highly recommend this household if you want to feel relaxed about leaving your dog!”
“I found a Blue Ribbon dog sitter in Nicole! She takes my dog Poppy to her house and is very punctual in drop off and return. She says her kids love having Poppy stay with them. I feel absolutely free from any worry and Poppy loves to see me again upon return.”
“Jenny was great! She was very easy to communicate with and flexible about the times and last minute booking. She sends a lot of pictures so you can see that your dog is having a nice trip. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Jeannys was absolutely amazing. If I could give her more stars I would. She took care of my stray who I found abandoned on the side of the road in the beginning of summer. Molly is a little shy and nervous but she went right with Jeannys and seemed SO comfortable which reassured me. Jeannys constantly updated me with photos and videos! She also took Molly out and about like she was her own dog! I will definitely be using Jeannys for Molly in the future!”

Thank you for giving us peace of mind while we were away! It means the world.”
“Melissa was so great for our pups who never have stayed with anyone with anyone but family! It was our wedding weekend and she was great at letting us know how they were doing while we were busy for the weekend. 10/10 would book again.”
“This was Norman’s second stay with Stephanie. She’s very flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Quick to respond and sends lots of pictures and videos. Norman loves staying with her, the family, and pups. When we arrived at her place, he was soooo excited to see her. Book her if available as she’s one of the best!”
“Megan is an attentive, communicable host, with a spotless home and a beautiful large safe property! She reads directions closely and offers detailed check-ins when our dogs are away. She also has an excellent creek behind her house which I didn’t realize at first! Her dog is friendly and I would definitely book again with her”

“Elizabeth performed brilliantly -- she completed all requests without fail and provided plenty of photographic and written responses. She was timely in arranging service initially. And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”
“Dylan is truly a dog person! We have a rescue that is a bit skittish with new people (due to her past abuse) and Dylan knew exactly how to approach her! The fact that he has been willing to get to know her even when she's a bit grumbly is greatly appreciated. Luckily our other pup, a Great Pyrenees mix, is already best buddies with him! He shows up early to bookings, always leaves us photos, is reliable and super friendly to work with! He's also very quick to let you know if he's available for a booking. I absolutely recommend Dylan as a sitter and look forward to our continued work with him!”
“Kasey was great! Would leave my girls anytime with her. She kept in contact with us. I definitely will use her services in the future. I felt confident leaving them with her before I left, we communicated quite a bit before our trip. My dogs were happy to see us when we got home, but I can tell they were happy and well cared for when I was not here....Amy Rickard”
“Excellent! Super friendly, immediate and positive responses, very engaged, incredible with dogs. Even noticed a medical condition in my poodle and offered to help. Even helped with other animals on property. Super thank you! Would 100% recommend. Dependable, honest, proactive, engaging communicator, trustworthy, and non-judgemental.”
About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)

“Soccer had a great afternoon with Kevin while the family visited the Baseball Hall of Fame. Kevin took soccer for walks and sent photo updates throughout. We all had a great day. Thank you Kevin for keeping Soccer safe and supervised!”
“What a great experience! Jenny was awesome! Bean was thrilled to go back the second day, he didn't even look back when I left him! I highly recommend this Rover doggy day care provider!”
“Willow was super tired and had a great time. Kirsten and Mark knew just how to handle our high-anxiety dog. Their property is like Disney Land for dogs! Tons of space and places to explore and run around in safely. Their dogs are super friendly and welcomed Willow into their pack easily. We recommend Kirsten and Mark highly!”
“Our Marcie came home nice and tired, and didn't seem stressed at all. Mikayla has other pets that are friendly and sociable, so we are of course happy to have our dog have the opportunity to play and socialize with them.”

“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I have a pit bull/Lab mix of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I've also cared for my nanny family's dog, so I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with routines, and giving medications if needed. I'm happy caring for pets of any age or size. I decided to join Rover because I'm looking for a summer job doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I know every pet has their own personality, so I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I'll treat your pets the way I'd want someone to treat my own, with lots of care, attention, and love. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I'm always happy to send pictures and check in while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! i am currently not employed . I am taking a break, staying with family for the summer so i have lots of availability for whenever im needed ! I currently reside in a two bedroom apartment that i can assure you is taken care of and clean! I have one very friendly dog to keep your baby company! She has plenty of treats and toys she'd love to share! I also have a crate available for your dog if they would need it!
“We are looking forward to booking Elizabeth again! She responded quickly to a last minute booking and was prompt with all communication. We could tell from her walk photos and description that our dog had a great time!”
About: I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), and I have over 15 years of working with dogs in veterinary clinics, humane societies, boarding kennels, grooming parlors, and most recently, managing a doggy daycare and teaching classes for a dog training institution. I own 13 acres of woods and fields that allows for dogs to run and play, though boarders use long lines for safety. Each dog who comes into my home will retain basic manners, including waiting at doors, loose leash walking skills, and come when called commands.

I love dogs, all dogs, and they tend to love me back.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”
