“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!”
“Jen is an excellent sitter. She responded quickly to any communication and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She is also someone who obviously loves and understands dogs. I will use her again!”
“Selfishly I would love to keep this my best secret , but John is the best sitter you could possibly hope for. I am actually blown away by the amount of attention and care my pup received here. We got constant updates and had no doubts at all about Winston being spoiled while we were spoiling ourselves. Couldn't ask for more.”

“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!”
“Maegan took great care of both my dogs on a short notice. Sent pics daily to make me feel more at ease and reminded that they were in great hands. Love the indoor space she has created for dogs with direct access to her fenced in back yard so dogs were able to go outside at their free will. Will book with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Julia did a great job watching our golden retriever recently. She was very responsive whenever I sent a text. She was flexible when we scheduled a meet and greet and sent a pic each day our dog was with her. Julia asked a lot of questions to be sure she understood our dog's needs and personality. I would recommend her for sure!”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“It is such a relief to find a sitter for your dog and have peace of mind. This couple are a gem. We received a bunch of videos and pictures to show how much fun our dogs were having while we were attending an event. Highly recommend!”
“He treated our very shy and nervous dog with understanding. But, more importantly he was highly flexible about the drop off and pick up times so that we were able to pick our dog up on our way home from the Albany Amtrak from a weekend in NYC. All without the administrative restrictions of other facilities which have set pick up and drop off hours which are never convenient to the pet owner! Just let him know our train arrival time before we left and confirmed when we were on our way upon arrival.”
“I am so happy that I chose Jack for boarding my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and had fun with the other dogs in Jack's care. We had Jack do pick up and drop off. Jack was on time for both and it took the stress out of us having to do that part. It was totally worth the additional fee! I will use Jack again the next time I need to board my dog and am interested in using g his daycare options as well.”
“Gillian is amazing! This is the longest we had to board our furbaby- almost three weeks. I could see how excited Biscuit was at drop-off, which made it easy for us to travel. Biscuit loves being at Gillian’s because he is treated like family. She also prepared fresh food for him, sent updates to us regularly and made his stay a vacation! Best sitter ever!”
“Peg was very responsive, friendly and helpful. She is organized and new the right questions to ask to ensure a successful stay for our pet . From the way copper was bouncing around when we picked him up really enjoyed his stay. I think he loved the freedom of the fenced yard and running free with the other dogs. For Copper, the freedom to run un-tethered is such a treat after spending most of his time on a chain and runner.”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”
“Mike was amazing with our dog Oli when we went on vacation. He sent pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing. It was so comforting to know Oli was in good hands while we were away. I would highly recommend.”
“Amazing stay! Our regular sitter was out of town for the holiday weekend so I reached out to Taylor with a last minute request. Very fast response. I was kept updated with photos and activities. Molly came home exhausted and happy! Thank you so much Taylor. We will definitely keep you at the top of our list for Molly.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
“Megan was great. She took tons of pictures which we appreciated. She updates us at least everyday sometime twice a day so we felt secure that our pups were happy and safe. We've been looking for a sitter we can depend on and I think we've found her. Thanks so much Megan!”

“Kelly was great! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of my cats while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Allison is so lovely!! I knew my kitties were in great hands immediately upon meeting her. She is very sweet, kind and always sent photo updates during her visits. Hands down, I would book with Allison again next time I’m in need of cat care!”
About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.
About: Hello!! My name is Haley ! I am 23 years old and I have owned/ took care of many different dogs and cats all of my life. From poodles to labs, and from russian blues to siamese, I grown to love them all. Early on this love allowed me to learn many skills including grooming, feeding, play time for every age, medication administration, and more! Over a year ago, I took on the special task of adopting my first behaviorally reactive dog named Coco, who is a 4 year old mini australian shepherd who has taught me so much more about caring for an animal with needs. Whether that be more spacial awareness on walks, training commands and structure, or more attention to intentional bonding, my dog skills have massively grown through my relationship with her. Due to her reactive tendencies, I was able to work alongside dog trainers at her training facility Unleash Fido in Jacksonville, FL to learn more about what an animal needs, even if it’s for a simple walk!! Outside of my love for animals, I am a stay at home wife for my navy husband Patric! I was a dance teacher and choreographer for years, as well as a world level powerlifter competing for Team USA in 2024!!! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me, and i hope to meet your fur baby soon !! I am a stay at home wife at the moment, so my availability is completely open to care for your pets ! Due to this open schedule, I completely open to same day bookings and quick to accept them :) Due to my open schedule, I would love to accommodate to any rules/ preferences you need for caring for your pet inside your home. As for boarding, my husband and I are currently finishing off our fence to provide plenty of area for safe play outside !! Inside the home we have a fully dog proof home, as we ensure the safety of our own dog Coco. If your pet is reactive to other animals, we are willing to board our own dog with friends in order to make a safe environment for your pup or cat !!! We are able to crate as well if needed, and personally have the schedule to accommodate to any support your pet needs in our home or at yours !!!!
“Really appreciated Alie's visits. Was a first trying Rover for a one week trip. Alie sent pics daily and followed instructions well. She even won over our shy kitty:)”
“Angela was wonderful with Mikey. He doesn’t like strangers and she manages to get him out from his hiding space. She arrived as promised and kept us informed. High recommendation’s from my husband, myself and Mikey.”
“Abigail was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. It was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable which is all I could ask for. Highly recommend! 🐱💕”

About: Hi there! My name is Natalia and I live in South Burlington my little 12 year old fur baby (pug/daschund mix). I can understand and relate to the stress and importance of finding a trustworthy care giver. I would love to be able to give the kind of care to your little one like I would expect for my own. South Burlington and Williston area would work the best for me. I would love to meet your family and spend time with your little fur baby! :) I would be available Monday through Friday after 5pm (and before 8:30am depending on situation) and any time Saturday and Sunday. Willing to be flexible! 😁 My sweet Harley boy is an older pup who has incontinence and regularly wears diapers, so we understand that special pets sometimes have special needs!
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.
About: I have been taking care of my personal pets and assisting family with theirs since I was about 12. I have experience mostly with cats and dogs(everything from feeding and bathing to grooming and administering medication, I don’t do nails though), but I can also take care of basic needs for birds such as feeding/water and cleaning cages. I currently do gig work so I have as much time as I need or you want to take care of your pets and make sure they get some love! Your home your rules! Just let me know how you like things and what you have in mind for the visits. I cant take pets into my own home as we are already at our 2 pet limit but I am more than happy to help figure out what works for you!
About: Cats have always been a part of my life. My late Mother, Father and Brother love cats so I grew up with many of them. I had a deaf white cat who lived for 20 years. I have 4 cats now all of which were feral. They came to my home with each of their own fascinating stories. Sasha is 15, Hula is 9, Tommy is 4 and Cleo is 2. I can administer medicine with a pill gun and clip claws. I will comb or brush your cat and make sure they feel loved. I won’t scare timid cats and will play with the fiesty ones.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was born. I grew up walking, feeding, bathing, and loving my first two dogs—a Chocolate Lab and a giant Weimaraner. Since those two, my pet family expanded to a Yellow Lab, a rescue mutt (Australian Kelpie), a Hound mix, an Australian Shepherd-Pitbull mix, a Great Dane, a Pomeranian, a three-legged rescue dog, three horses, five goats, two pigs, three mini horses, and a cat. Throughout my life, I’ve helped to take care of each and every pet that we’ve had. While it’s not always easy, I love every second of it. I am home from college for the summer (May-August), so I will be very flexible and available to help out you and your pets :) I will always make sure your fur baby is happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my care, your pet will always be my top priority. I will never take any job that I cannot 100% commit to.

“Julia was great. I was a nervous new dog mom, leaving my pup for the first time. She was a great communicator up front, and she sent pics during the day. I will definitely use them again!”
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.
“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sierra took great care of my elderly dog. He was so content when I picked him up that he didn’t want to go home. She kept him separated from the other dogs, but in the same room, so he could see and interact with his new friends without any risk to him physically. My little potato really enjoyed his time there and I’ll be bringing him back!”
“Taylor is such a life saver being able to watch Whisper on such a short notice. On top of that she was absolutely wonderful with him. She sent me pictures and videos of him running around and having a fantastic time. I would definitely recommend her and would have her watch Whisper again”
“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”
“First time leaving our dog with a sitter and it was a great experience for Hazel and us. David and Dragana were attentive and kind and clearly clicked with our dog which was a joy to see. Highly recommend and we will book again. Thank you!!”
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 😉
“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.”
“Walter had such a wonderful stay! He loved playing with the other puppies and came home ready for a long sleep! Great communication and felt very safe. Thanks so much!”
“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!”
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”

My husband also loves dogs and has plenty of free time during his work day to take walks and give lots of love! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running. We are on a cul de sac so there is very little traffic in my part of the neighborhood. My home also has several baby gates to make sure that your pet is safe if I have to leave them in the house for a short amount of time.
“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: Hey, I'm Brandon. I've got a rescue pit/boxer mix named Chip who pretty much runs my life. Ive owned dogs since 2019, and I am an animal lover at heart. I'm currently apprenticing under a professional dog trainer and volunteering at a local rescue, working toward doing this full time. So your dog isn't just getting walked - they're getting someone who's actively studying canine behavior and knows how to read and handle a dog I'm comfortable with big dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I'll send you photos and updates so you actually know how it went. Based in Saratoga Springs. Available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I work a flexible schedule with a mix of office days and travel, so I plan my bookings around it and only accept what I know I can fully commit to. Most weekday evenings and weekends are open. I'm also apprenticing with a professional dog trainer and volunteering at a local shelter, so I'm around dogs constantly - your pup won't be an afterthought squeezed into my day. I'll always confirm my availability before booking so there are no surprises. I care for dogs in your home, on your terms. I stick to whatever routine you already have - feeding, walking, potty schedule, house rules - because consistency is what keeps a dog comfortable. I'll follow your instructions exactly on leashes, doors, and anything else, and I'm careful about securing gates and entryways. Because I'm training under a professional dog trainer, I know how to read body language and spot stress or discomfort early, especially with nervous or reactive dogs. You'll get photos and updates every visit so you always know how it went.
“Nicole is an awesome dog walker and caregiver, one of the best we've ever had. She took great care of our two French bulldogs and her communication and attention to detail is superb. Really glad we found her. She is highly recommended.”

Otherwise I have open availability! :) When caring for pets in their home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. As a Veterinary Assistant with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and years of experience caring for animals, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and making sure pets are safe and well cared for. I also treat every home with the same respect and care I would give my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their furry family members are happy and in good hands!
About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.
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.
About: Hello, my name is Alie and my #1 passion is animals! In search of my calling in life, I have found myself working for a pet grooming salon in my hometown, Milton, NY! I spend my days Tuesday-Saturday bathing and grooming neighborhood dogs then go home to love on my own German Shepard/Belgian Malinois mix and Tabby cat! My weekends are filled with time spent with my family (pets are family!) and my pet sitting clients. I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats, helping to fulfill all of their needs, and have been formally pet-sitting for the public since 2021. Since I was about 12 years old, I have gained experience caring for dogs for friends and family, providing basic care such as feeding and potty breaks. As I grew, my experience expanded to include transportation to and from the vet and groomer, feeding, oral medication administration, ear drops/ointment, eye drops, walking, and (the best part of course) playing! My experience also includes my feline friends, most often multi-cat homes, for regular feeding, oral medication administration, ear ointment, litter box cleaning, and, you guessed it, playing! I currently work at a grooming salon in Milton Tuesday-Saturday, so on those days I am available to love on your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening! On Sundays and Mondays, I can come for a visit during the mid-day hours. All of my clients are the highlight of my work-day, I look forward to every visit so you can trust me to be there when you need me! Your pets safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, I take any time necessary to ensure your pet's comfortable with me being inside their home, even if I exceed the typical 30m or 60m visit length! Working at a grooming salon, I have honed my skills with dog body language so I know when your pups are upset. My experience with cats has also taught me when the kitties aren't happy as well! Meet & Greets are a necessary part of the booking process to ensure everyone's safety over the course of a booking. All bookings that include a dog are required to have a one-time complimentary Meet & Greet prior to booking. Dogs are careful about the humans they trust, espcially with their parents gone, so I'd like to make friends with you present! Other bookings that only include cats are not required to have a Meet & Greet prior to booking but you are more than welcome to request one! Any additional Meet & Greets that are requested beyond the initial complimentary Meet & Greet will be booked at the drop-in rate listed on my profile. At the first visit, slow and quiet are the name of the game, I take my time going about their routine so they can get used to me! After my tasks are done, it's my goal to make them as comfy as possible by offering them their favorite toys and treats at their own pace. By the end of the booking, my aim is to be your pets new best friend and your go-to sitter!
About: I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. I am patient, thorough and flexible. I have 30 years of experience with cats and 20 years with dogs. Will take care of puppies/kittens to adults. I am very flexible in my schedule, as I am self-employed, so I will have plenty of time to walk, play or feed your baby. In your home I can take your baby out into your yard for potty or play time, or both. For the Kitties I can play with them, if they are in the mood, or be their temporary bed for those lap cats that love to be pet and pampered. I own a gray and white tuxedo cat named Sammy.
About: I have 3 dogs , 2 cats , a fish, 2 hermit crabs and 30 chickens. I've also owned horses . I love animals and being around them . I'm currently working but am available from 1:00pm till 8:00pm weekday's and weekends. I can do drop in visits and walking. Please contact me with any questions. My pets currently wear collars to keep them in the yard. I also walk them on my property. We have 4 acres with lots of room to run. At my clients home I will ensure safety, take good care of your pet and love them like my own!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. Along with providing updates and being prepared for an emergency situation. I am currently in college with a relatively flexible schedule as of right now. I have mid morning class that are no longer then 2-3 hours. I play softball but will schedule accordingly based on offers. I am able to abide to a routine the pet has and will prepare myself to ensure all the pets needs are meet. I will make sure the pets comfort hygiene and safety comes first!
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was born. I grew up walking, feeding, bathing, and loving my first two dogs—a Chocolate Lab and a giant Weimaraner. Since those two, my pet family expanded to a Yellow Lab, a rescue mutt (Australian Kelpie), a Hound mix, an Australian Shepherd-Pitbull mix, a Great Dane, a Pomeranian, a three-legged rescue dog, three horses, five goats, two pigs, three mini horses, and a cat. Throughout my life, I’ve helped to take care of each and every pet that we’ve had. While it’s not always easy, I love every second of it. I am home from college for the summer (May-August), so I will be very flexible and available to help out you and your pets :) I will always make sure your fur baby is happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my care, your pet will always be my top priority. I will never take any job that I cannot 100% commit to.

“Jen is an excellent sitter. She responded quickly to any communication and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. She is also someone who obviously loves and understands dogs. I will use her again!”
“Selfishly I would love to keep this my best secret , but John is the best sitter you could possibly hope for. I am actually blown away by the amount of attention and care my pup received here. We got constant updates and had no doubts at all about Winston being spoiled while we were spoiling ourselves. Couldn't ask for more.”
“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!”
“Maegan took great care of both my dogs on a short notice. Sent pics daily to make me feel more at ease and reminded that they were in great hands. Love the indoor space she has created for dogs with direct access to her fenced in back yard so dogs were able to go outside at their free will. Will book with her again in the future.”
“Julia did a great job watching our golden retriever recently. She was very responsive whenever I sent a text. She was flexible when we scheduled a meet and greet and sent a pic each day our dog was with her. Julia asked a lot of questions to be sure she understood our dog's needs and personality. I would recommend her for sure!”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“It is such a relief to find a sitter for your dog and have peace of mind. This couple are a gem. We received a bunch of videos and pictures to show how much fun our dogs were having while we were attending an event. Highly recommend!”
“He treated our very shy and nervous dog with understanding. But, more importantly he was highly flexible about the drop off and pick up times so that we were able to pick our dog up on our way home from the Albany Amtrak from a weekend in NYC. All without the administrative restrictions of other facilities which have set pick up and drop off hours which are never convenient to the pet owner! Just let him know our train arrival time before we left and confirmed when we were on our way upon arrival.”
“I am so happy that I chose Jack for boarding my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and had fun with the other dogs in Jack's care. We had Jack do pick up and drop off. Jack was on time for both and it took the stress out of us having to do that part. It was totally worth the additional fee! I will use Jack again the next time I need to board my dog and am interested in using g his daycare options as well.”
“Peg was very responsive, friendly and helpful. She is organized and new the right questions to ask to ensure a successful stay for our pet . From the way copper was bouncing around when we picked him up really enjoyed his stay. I think he loved the freedom of the fenced yard and running free with the other dogs. For Copper, the freedom to run un-tethered is such a treat after spending most of his time on a chain and runner.”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”
“Mike was amazing with our dog Oli when we went on vacation. He sent pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing. It was so comforting to know Oli was in good hands while we were away. I would highly recommend.”
“Amazing stay! Our regular sitter was out of town for the holiday weekend so I reached out to Taylor with a last minute request. Very fast response. I was kept updated with photos and activities. Molly came home exhausted and happy! Thank you so much Taylor. We will definitely keep you at the top of our list for Molly.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
“Megan was great. She took tons of pictures which we appreciated. She updates us at least everyday sometime twice a day so we felt secure that our pups were happy and safe. We've been looking for a sitter we can depend on and I think we've found her. Thanks so much Megan!”
“Ginger is a fantastic human, Sheba seemed very content to cohabitate with. Ginger went above and beyond in her care for my girl. She sent texts, pictures and videos to keep me posted on how my husky was doing throughout her stay. If I go out of town again I know the exact person I will contact through Rover. Thanks again Ginger”
“Alex and her family were wonderful!! We were a little nervous at first boarding our rescue of only 7 months. But once meeting her and seeing how much she loves animals we knew it was the perfect choice. Her home is perfect with comfy areas to relax and a huge fenced for you dog to run around. Alex is so kind that she sends updates with photos! Our dog River had the best time and highly recommended her to others!”
“Our little Havanese loved Addy from the very start. Addy sent lots of pictures and clearly delights in her furry guests. We will definitely be visiting Addy again!”
