“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”
“I had a great experience ! Jacqueline and her beautiful family provided excellent care for my pet in a safe and loving environment. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend her!”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“Nervana was absolutely incredible!! This was the first time I ever left Chloe who is 11 years old with anyone. I was terrified but she gave the best reassurance . She sent me videos as well as constant text updates . The love that she gave my dog was so endearing. I would definitely recommend her, if I could give 20 stars I would!!! I will definitely choose her again to watch my dog . Nervana is the sweetest ❤️”
“Ekaterina and family did a lovely job hosting our senior dog Gil! He returned home happy and relaxed. She sent lots of photos and updates. Thank you so much.”
“Troy had another great stay with Lorraine and we are so lucky she was available in a pinch for a family emergency. Thank you for taking care of our first born!”
“Another excellent stay with Maisha. Bentley always has a great experience and enjoys playing and making new friends. She provides excellent care and keeps me consistently updated with photos, which I truly appreciate. I also value the way she treats Bentley with the same care and attention as her own. Thank you again!”
“Excellent dog sitter!! Chloe was amazing, she sent us frequent updates, was super nice and worked with us throughout the process, and took excellent care of our dog!! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“A+ Kind, attentive, communicative, flexible. The photo of our dog Charlie sprawled out in front of the fireplace within an hour of us dropping him off says it all. He feels safe, secure, relaxed, and loved. Tynesha has become Charlie’s resort vacation destination anytime we go away.”
“As always Stacia was amazing. Whenever Precious stays with Stacia she is loved and cared for as if she is at home. The daily photos and videos always make me smile as I can see how happy and content she is.”
“Labor Day weekend was the first time using a doggy sitter for my lovely cavapoo, Brooklyn. I was very nervous at first. I didn't know how my dog would react when I was away being that she suffers from anxiety separation. Ziwei made me feel comfortable and my dog too. She kept me informed from day one. I also received pictures and videos. When I picked up Brooklyn she was very happy and she looked well taken care of. I'm so very glad to find a loving, caring and skilled doggy sitter being that my husband and I travel often. I give her a 5 star rating and I highly recommend her especially if you are a nervous fur mommy as I was. I know next time I use her service I will no longer be nervous because I know my dog will be in good hands. 🐶”
“Thank you so much Ziming for making us feel comfortable and enjoy our trip while our pup was staying with you! First time leaving Tobias with Ziming and I really appreciate the photos and updates. He seemed right at home and well taken care of!”
“Ekaterina took the best care of our dog, Charlie. She communicated with us daily, keeping us in touch with our Charlie’s day. Charlie looked so happy and comfortable which made us even happier and more comfortable. We’re grateful that we found someone who can give us peace of mind when we go away and have to leave Charlie behind. We will definitely look for Ekaterina again for any future stays.”
“Yiqi took amazing care of my dog during a holiday, making sure he got plenty of playtime and attention in addition to his more basic needs like regular eating and potty breaks. Absolutely recommend!”
“I would personally highly recommend Ka as a sitter. Ka and her husband have watched my miniature Aussie many times. She’ll diligently respond to your request, and is flexible with scheduling when arranging pick up and drop off times. She’ll also keep you updated with frequent texts as well as sending photos and videos. Most importantly you can tell she genuinely cares for animals and their wellbeing. You can certainly trust her with your pets.”
“Shannon is the best dogsitter we ever have. I left my dog with her for 12 night. She updated me with pictures of him couple times a day. She was very responsive and I felt she really cared about him. My dig had the best vacation with her and at this point my search for perfect sitter is done. We are staying with Shannon forever:)”

“Always happy with the loving care Noelle provides my kitties. I appreciate the trustworthy service Noelle has provided me. I travel often for work and it breaks my heart to leave them. Everyday she is there I know they will get attention, affection and attention to detail of their care plan.”
“Excellent experience with Lin. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats had everything they needed. Communicating with every visit with pictures and details, letting us know the exact situation, was very helpful to keep us reassured everything was fine.”
“Jacqueline looked after my kitten when I was away for the weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! The updates were thorough and when I got back I could tell my kitten was well taken care of. Would book her for drop in visits again if I’m going out of town!”
“Jenna was so sweet. We would 100% book her again. She was responsive, kind, and took cute pictures of our cat. She was great with medications and keeping us updated while we were away. She’s flexible and we will definitely book her again!”
“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for years, my own and previous experience at the vet. I know how to trim their nails and deep clean litter boxes. What triggers them, what makes them happy. I love cats so much!
About: I've been caring for pets professionally for over 10 years. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted pet parent myself. My own fur babies are like my children, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, attention, and respect. I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I work from home & occasionally go into the city. I’m comfortable with all age groups Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I bring patience, experience, and genuine affection to every visit. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is in good hands--and that's exactly what I strive to provide.
“Abigail was excellent with our dog. She was always on time and made sure Hazel got lots of exercise and attention when she visited. She listened to our needs and made sure to follow everything we asked of her and kept Hazel's routines as close as to what she was already used to. Our dog loved her and we will def be using Abigail again.”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers. I am a Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of experience for caring for hundreds of dogs, cats, birds and any kind of animal you can think of. My husband Andres is also a vet tech with over 15 years of experience and he helps me take care of any of the pets I watch. I used to mainly watch dogs in my home but since Covid we had a baby and she is allergic to dogs so I can't board in my home anymore which makes me very sad. Hopefully my daughter will grow out of her allergies eventually because we really do miss having dogs in our home and she loves dogs too. So now I can only do drop in visits at your home for any type of pet. I am currently not working and am a stay at home Mom but my daughter is in school now so I can do drop ins during school hours and then after my husband comes home from work in the evenings. We currently have 2 senior cats at home and I have had many of my own cats that I have loved and taken care of over the years. I have taken care of hundreds of cats as a Veterinary Technician over the years in all stages of life and many types of illnesses and diseases. I have worked with all types and many different breeds of cats as well. I have experience with cats with all different types of personalities and behavioral issues and try to take my time with any of them that are fearful and try to gain their trust and show them that I just want to show them love like you do. I was trained to practice fear free medicine as a vet tech. I have dedicated my life to caring for and helping all animals and I have loved every second of it. I have experience with every age, breed, species and medical problem. I have years of experience of caring for any illness, physical and behavioral problems and administering any medications or medical treatments necessary. I have had many dogs, cats and other small creatures of my own that i have loved and cared for over the years as well. I have a car and can travel to any part of Staten Island. Nothing makes me happier than spending time and playing with as many little fur babies as i can. You can set your mind at ease knowing that experienced, caring veterinary technicians are caring for your precious baby while you are away.
“Tara was awesome. My cat wound up with some last minute tummy trouble right before we traveled and Tara was more than accommodating when it came to giving Daisy her medicine and prescription food. She sent pictures and updates every day and was incredibly responsive to my questions and requests. I will definitely hire Tara again any time I travel! Thanks again Tara!”
“Oleg was amazing! I have a very difficult cat, and he was very patient and calm with her. He is communicative and sends updates daily along with photos. I felt secure being away from home knowing he was taking care of my fur baby. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Third time booking Neve. I had three great summer vacations thanks to her. Completely reliable and a true professional I am grateful to have lucked out and booked her. You should too.”
“Elena is such a wonderful cat sitter! She warmly greets my cat and pets him so gently he loves her so much. She’s very attentive and compassionate about my cat’s wellbeing. I would absolutely recommend booking with her again!”
About: Since I was younger, I have always been around dogs and other pets. My parents are avid animal lovers and naturally it rubbed off on me! I have attended events to promote animal rights and care for each pup as if they are my own. I have been walking dogs for approximately 6 years. From Shih Tzus to Labrador retrievers, I have cared for dogs with sizes in between. I enjoy spending time and getting to know each pup. As dog owner of a nose driven beagle, I understand the love and energy needed to keep up with our four legged family members. I love taking my dog for walks all over Staten Island. I am currently working from home and would like to fill my time with kind, energetic and loving dogs! I am available to walk and check in on your dog and cats throughout the week and on weekends. Message me for availability. Thank you. As a dog owner, I am aware of people and other pets around me when going on walks. It is important to know and understand the temperament of your dog to ensure their safety. For drop in visits, having a beagle has prepared me to identify potential problematic situations. I normally do a visual scan of the area to make sure that pee pads are secured, doors are closed and food is put away.

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs
“Nervana was quick to respond and very accommodating. Apollo was tired when he got home (exactly what I wanted) - she took him on a nice walk! Thank you Nervana. I highly recommend her and I would absolutely drop Apollo off again”
“Wow! 🐾❤️ Florina and her dog Peanut are amazzzing! Best dog sitting experience we have ever had. My dog Maple had so much fun. Florina sent me multiple videos and pictures during the visit and took Maple on 3 long walks. I would highly recommend her and we will most certainly use her again.”
About: My life has always been centered around pet care. I started my journey with my first pet when I was a kid and grew up taking care of family pets. I later worked at a pet food shop for 2 years where I learned all about certain pet food dietary restrictions for all kinds of pets. I made my way into working at an animal hospital to further my knowledge with animal care. It was always a passion of mine to be able to help all kinds of animals in any way possible. At the animal hospital is where I met my fiancé! Our love for animals is what brought us together! My fiancé has 10+ years worth of experience with pet care and is a 6 year veteran with Rover and she’s shown me how many awesome furry babies are on this app! With each others help we will give your babies the best care in the world while giving you, the parents, peace of mind when leaving your babies in our home! IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Drop-off/Pickup hours ** Weekday, Weekend & Holiday: 6:00am-8pm Please be clear on drop off and pick up time.

Thank you MEET & GREET: Friday, Saturday & Sunday 10am-4pm All meet & greets will be held outside of my home. I have family at home so please do not request to enter, if necessary photos will be provided of the inside of my home and yard. Please be respectful to my family at home. I currently work from home with my fiancé and with her help we give your babies our 100% attention at all times. You will always be updated with photos throughout their stay! All babies will have more than enough room to have fun and play in our yard and in our home as well! They’ll be taken out to potty following their potty schedule provided by their parents. Their feeding schedule will be followed as well. My home is entirely baby gated at every exit to make sure all babies are safe indoors. We also have a fully fenced yard to make sure all the babies can play and run around safely while with us! If ever necessary, we would take your pet to our local vet and notify you immediately!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since 15. My family had two dogs and I trained them from puppy. Love to play and walk with them. I’m currently working for a part time job, schedule is flexible. And sometimes work from home. It’s easy to adjust with any schedule. I will walk three times a day with pets the rest of the time will staying inside of my house, basement and 1st floor of my house are available for pet’s activities.
“Jasmin was exceptional with my Puppy Galaxy. She kept me up to date throughout the day and made sure they got lots of activity throughout day. She gave me a lot of advice as a new dog dad and helped teach me how to cut my dog’s nails without agitating him or causing him to run. 10/10 would book again”
About: Dog hair is my daily uniform, but experience is my strength. From playful pups to seniors and special needs companions, I provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to every dog. I work from home Monday through Friday, so your pup will get lots of attention and care. I’m available most weekends and will never be out of the house longer than it takes to run some brief errands. I have a fenced yard and provide full supervision. Dogs can be separated or crated if requested, ensuring a safe, calm environment tailored to each dog’s needs.
About: Hi! I have loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. For the past three years, I have been raising my own dog and have gained valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. All pet care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, and monitoring, is personally handled by me. I have experience caring for puppies and understand that every dog is unique. Some dogs may be energetic, shy, anxious, or still learning good habits. I am patient and willing to work with each dog’s individual personality and routine. I currently have a friendly and playful Shiba Inu puppy who enjoys meeting other dogs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. Please let me know about your dog’s routines, preferences, medical needs, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will do my best to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and supervision. I have a fenced backyard and a playful shiba inu to keep your fur baby company. Because I already care for my own dog, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping a clean environment are all built into my schedule.
“Ka and her family were warm and welcoming! Baci (my puppy) immediately felt comfortable from the moment I left him and from the pics and videos Ka shared throughout the day he looked so happy and got plenty of exercise playing with his new puppy pal Frank. Overall exceptional experience!!”
“Jennifer is amazing. She kept me informed throughout the whole day and took care of my pup like he was her own. I can tell he was very well taken care of! I also love that she has two little dogs as playmates and young children that also enjoyed playing with him.”
About: Hello, I’m an animal lover and have probably seen every episode of Breed All About It. Lol I absolutely love dogs and I myself have a mini goldendoodle named Kodi. I work full time from home and live with my 1.5 year old mini goldendoodle Kodi. He goes outside 4 times a day, is very high energy. We frequent the fenced in dog park where dogs are free to roam off leash, and I will provide various updates throughout the day since that’s also what I prefer when Kodi is boarding.
“Jane was awesome and Bento loved his stay. Jane was a great communicator and sent lots of photo and video updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend.”
“It was a pleasure having Ekaterina watch our 7 month old puppy, Coco for the day. She kept us fully informed with pictures and updates. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I lived on my aunts farm in the summers growing up. I have two loving and playful pups who are like my children! I care for each animal as if they were mine. I work 8:00am-4:00pm Monday through Friday, however I am available for drop ins or walks before or after those times. Weekends I have full availability! I do not do boarding at my own apartment. I have one new dog that is still learning how to share nicely with his new brother :)
About: I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
“Sam is the best. Very reliable, good communication, takes great pictures of my dog. Chewey gives her all paws up! I am so happy with her service. Highly recommend.”
“Isabella was great! Very attentive, flexible schedule and most of all extremely caring for our dog. 10/10, highly recommend and we plan to work with Isabella in the future.”
About: I grew up around animals, I absolutely love them! Ranging from dogs to horses, I've worked with them all. I have my own dog of which I trained myself and walk daily! I'm currently a college student, so I have availability this summer to spend time with your furry friends! I'm available all day, every day, just reach out! My top priority is making sure any pets in my care are comfortable at all times, and that they receive the amount of exercise and attention they need!

Durell showed up with a smile and Winter was excited to go every day. We will DEFINITELY be re-booking Durell and Michael for future walks and maybe even boarding.”
About: I’ve owned my pug, Pinky, for 14 years and have grown up with her. During this time, I’ve gradually grown attentive to her needs and different emotions depending on her body language. We adopted Fendi 4 years ago, and I’ve learned to multitask with their age difference and introduce unfamiliar dogs in a safe manner. I’m currently staying home from college and am looking to spend my free time doing something I love. I have two dogs at home that I currently take care of, and would love to be able to provide a safe and comforting environment for other dogs as well. I have two friendly dogs and a fenced yard with plenty of space for them to play. I also have a crate and extra dog supplies if needed.
About: I’ve raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I know exactly what dogs need at every stage. From early morning walks to keeping them entertained and fed, it’s just part of my daily routine. I didn’t just own a dog I grew up with him. Your dog will get the same attention and care I give mine every single day. Dogs get a morning walk around 10–10:30am, then they’re free to relax in the living room or hang out in the fenced backyard. Once it cools down in the evening I take them out again around 6–7pm. During the day they have access to the backyard for potty breaks whenever they need it. Before bed there’s one last walk around 11–11:30pm so they’re settled for the night. I have a fenced backyard so dogs can roam and play safely without any worry. I own a friendly dog myself so your pup will have a buddy to hang out with. We’re in a house so there’s plenty of space to move around and get comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture I want them to feel at home, not like they’re in a strange place.
“This was the first time using this service and leaving our dogs with someone other than family. But we are so happy that we met Elena ! Every pic we received our dogs had a smile on their face . We will def use Elena again and highly recommend her !”
About: Pet care isn’t just a service for me — it’s a relationship built on trust, routine, and respect for your pet’s personality. I take time to get to know each animal beyond the basics: their quirks, comforts, and communication style. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach — I read subtle behavior cues and adjust care accordingly, making even anxious or shy pets feel secure. I don't just follow instructions; I anticipate needs and treat your home and animals with the same care I’d give my own. It’s not just about keeping pets safe — it’s about keeping them happy, understood, and emotionally balanced while you’re away. I’m available for pet sitting full time, which means I can offer flexible scheduling, prompt responses, and dedicated attention to your pet’s needs — whether it's a one-time visit, daily care, or extended stays. Because this is my primary focus, I’m able to adapt to a wide range of routines, provide consistent companionship, and be there when last-minute needs arise. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and my full-time commitment ensures they receive reliable, responsive, and attentive care every step of the way. Whether caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I create a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, play, and rest — just like they would with family. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routines consistent and their surroundings familiar, which helps reduce stress while you're away. In both settings, I treat every pet with the same respect and affection I would give my own, ensuring they feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for.
“Raella was absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. She was communicative, sent us plenty of photos and you can tell that she genuinely loves animals! I definitely plan to be a repeat customer.”
About: I have cared for my own pets since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals and have always had pets. I’ve rescued and helped strays cats along with my other family members. One of my most special cats had asthma and had to use and inhaler. I am capable handling medical needs for pets as I’ve also owned english bulldogs and they’ve had various skin allergies so I’m aware of allergy needs for special cats and dogs. I’ve recently started caring for chickens too lol. I have enough patience to help with basic training such as give paw/high fives, potty training and sit. My own pets have made it senior ages as well and am aware of older pets needs. I currently work and help care for my dad a few days a week, and I do my pet sitting at his house. He has a spacious yard where dogs can run around and play. My brother and sister also help care for our dad and pets, so they’re often around to lend a hand with pet sitting as well. I provide daily basic grooming and baths, nail trimming, medication administration, and regular walks. I also offer plenty of belly rubs and ear scratches! I clean up after the pets, prepare their meals, and ensure they are well-fed and cared for.
About: I’m active and super into fitness so I love to keep a furry companion alongside me as I walk. Dog walking is a great way for me to interact with lovely pets and people and I enjoy being able to be a trustworthy safe human for cute animals! Im currently a full time student at Hunter College, and I commute from Staten Island. I am open to dog walking and sitting in Staten Island and Manhattan as needed ! I love and appreciate animals and am honored to care for yours. I love to do pet sitting with my friends animals, it always brings me peace and I am easygoing around animals. I love to walk dogs more than anything and I always feel like I’m having a blast!

“Had a 5 day vacation and couldn’t really find anybody last minute to watch my dog for me. I discovered rover and came across Jose’s profile, we connected very easy and he was able to assist watching my dog for me. Jose’s services are great he communicates very well and he kept me updated each day with photos and videos of my dog and i can tell by looking at the photos and videos my dog really enjoyed himself. he enjoyed himself so much that he seemed so sad when we were in the car pulling off from jose’s house after pickup. Jose has his own pets as well which my dog got along exceptionally well with ,if you have pets and want to work on their socializing skills i definitely recommend you guys board or let your dog spend a day with jose . I most definitely will be bringing my pup back to Jose next vacation and i recommend you guys do you as well you will not be disappointed i promise!!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Pamela and her family were excellent. Milo is a very energetic puppy and they took wonderful care of him and helped him feel comfortable. He was a little nervous at first and she did everything to help him adjust. I got tons of updates and pictures during my trip. They would take him out and give him all the exercise he needed. They treated him like part of the family. This was our first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. She has excellent communication and quick response. I would highly recommend Pamela as a sitter and would use her again.”
“In a word, Robert is incredible. He was very thorough before the booking started and got to know Daphne with me present. He clocked her separation anxiety quickly and somehow won her over almost as fast. While taking care of Daphne, he maintained good communication, sent images and videos and generally put my mind at ease. Most of all, Daphne has grown to love him. Do yourself and your pup a favor and reach out to him.”
