“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Jonathan was a pleasure to have watch our pup, Mochi. We had a last minute need for doggy care over the Fourth of July and Jonathan was willing to welcome Mochi into his family for the whole weekend, and help him feel at home. Mochi loved playing in the big yard and hanging out with Jonathan’s kids. We will definitely rebook with Jonathan the next time we are in town.”
“she was an excellent nanny for Pluto .. she was always in contact with me, she sent me photos and videos, she looked after Pluto for 5 days ... 100% recommended, she has a lot of love and responsibility for pets”
“I had a pleasant experience with Gabriel and I believe my dog did too! She seemed to be content and relaxed, so much that she found a bed of her liking. It also makes it more fun when there are friends to play with, who were friendly and chill once all the excitement wore off. I would definitely have my dog stay at Gabriel’s home again! I felt comfortable and reassured as he sent me updates on any mischief she was getting into and influencing his dogs to do. He was also accommodating, as I picked her up very late. Would recommend to doggies that enjoys others’ company!”
“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She sent photos and videos and made me feel like she really cared about Zuki very much. we can’t wait to have zuki with dawn again. thank you so much!”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
“Kristen was very accommodating and my pup seemed very happy in her home. My dog is usually very anxious at first but she calmed down quickly with Kristen and her sweet dog Jackson. Will definitely use her again.”
“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
About: I lived in California for 4 years and while I was there I was apart of a dog rescue. Many dogs lived at my house. I also had a couple of cats , so I am comfortable around both! I am working part time at the moment so my schedule is pretty open for the most part. You can just ask me a time and I can see if I can work around it! I watch a family friends dog a lot at my house. He just wanders around the house. He is usually stuck to me like glue so he doesn’t go far lol . When he stays at my house he just lays in bed with me. He is a Maltese and Chihuahua mix! When he goes outside to use the bathroom he doesn’t go far and he listens to me when I tell him to come. I do not have fencing or anything around my house.
“I am very happy with the care that my Dallas received while staying with Christina. Dallas is a timid dog and I was concern that she would have problems being away from home. But she was fine, Christina took good care of her and that means a lot to me. I like to travel twice a year and I will be using Christina for all of my future travels!”
“Cici was wonderful with Ruby! I had another rover fall through and Cici worker with me to find a solution. We were able to have a very slow and steady meet and greet. It gave Ruby a ton of confidence for the stay. All the updates about how my pup was fitting in with her family were great. She handled the pup well. Would highly recommend”
“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”

“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”
“Emily is amazing! I live in LA but was visiting my mom in Woodstock and needed a dog sitter last minute for my little senior dog, Rihanna. Emily graciously took her for a house sit in her home for a long weekend. Emily was thorough and asked about Rihanna’s routine, taking care to follow it well. I can tell that Emily has extensive experience with pets and a special love for them. Rihanna required both liquid and pill medicines that Emily took care to give her 2x a day. Emily also sent photo updates in the app and kept me informed about how Rihanna was doing. Rihanna seemed extremely happy with Emily, and I can tell that she got lots of love. She can be anxious when traveling, but Emily’s calm presence was great for her. I would 100% select Emily again!”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”

“Quick reply, prompt visit, really good photos. When I got back, everything was in its right place and clean and fair. My dog seemed very happy as well. What more can I ask for? Also she did a tick check, which I didn't even think about for a quick walk. Very much appreciated. Thank you.”
“Paula W. 100% 5 star GEM We had less than 24 hrs notice. Our cats eyesight was deteriorating and my anxiety was uncontrollable. I couldn't leave her alone. It is February and the weather is as bad as can be. Freezing rain on top of snow. We never met Paula but she said YES, she would help us! Amazing!! Paula showed up a few minutes early. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that my cat would be well taken care of while I was away for a few hours. Paula was great! She texted me pics and updates and reassured me my baby girl was ok. I can't thank you enough Paula. Best wishes”
About: As an experienced and long time foster, I have cared for dogs in my home with varying needs and personalities. I provide lots of affection, as well as necessary structure, to ensure a balanced and fun stay for all. I also have a sweet, Boxer-mix Zoe (50 lbs), and a Sato from Puerto Rico named Ellie (15 lbs), who love their foster siblings, and boarding mates & love to play, cuddle, and bring them out of their shell, especially little dogs. I have a few years of experience with rescue dogs, including puppy mill dogs, and street rescues, because of that I'm very confident working with shy, nervous dogs that need a little more TLC. In my personal time, I work as the social media coordinator for a dog rescue, and walk dogs for a friend's dog company.
“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitter! Lillie is incredibly communicative and always sends the most thoughtful, funny, and sweet updates — which means so much when you’re away and missing your kitties! She gives them tons of love, playtime, and attention. She’s also really attentive and quick to notice any changes in behavior or eating/drinking habits, which we really appreciate. We always feel completely at ease knowing our cats are in Lillie’s care!”
About: From overnight stays and walks to playtime and cuddles, family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their fur baby. Being able to work with cats and dogs on a daily basis as a veterinary assistant continues to help me accumulate various skills to work with animals of all temperaments and ages! I’m currently working part time so I’d have flexible time to spend with your precious pups whether during the week or during the weekend ! Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.
“My first time ever leaving my to 2 cats with someone besides family to go away on vacation for 2 weeks. She took very good care of my girls and sent me photos along the way. I appreciate everything you did and hope I am still taken on as a client someday despite my very late pick up as I had advised her before I left. Late flights coming from city are the worst, ugh.”
“Kamber took incredible care of our two kitty cats on very short notice! She was very communicative, fast to respond, and empathetic to our fur babies. I would absolutely book her quality services again!”
About: I grew up with cats and understand that they’re all unique. I care very deeply about animals and have a special connection with cats. I have plenty of experience having had 4 cats of my own in my adult life!
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.

Owners trust me for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays, knowing their pets are safe and genuinely cared for. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pet receives consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and overnight.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”
“Elisha is quiet & calm, and gentle with Bo. She was reliable and took good care of Bo when we booked the first time. We look forward to her caring for him again this summer! Thank you!”
“I booked Alexis to visit and feed my cat Cillian while I was away. Alexis was very responsive when I communicated with her and she did a great job with looking after Cillian. He enjoyed her visits. We will definitely book her again.”
“Not only is Jade Marie extremely respectful, she was responsive to my partner and I while we were away for a week-long vacation. She made a personal connection with our two cats by playing with them and also kept their area clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Jade Marie to other pet owners seeking help!”
About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.
“Kristina did an amazing job with our cat Maxie! Although he is very shy and skittish, he warmed up to Kristina almost immediately. She followed our instructions perfectly and actually went above and beyond to make Maxie feel comfortable. The proof is in the pictures she took of herself and Maxie together. He looks completely relaxed and happy. We would not hesitate to ask Kristina back again! She’s amazing.”

“Jayne was an exceptional puppy sitter. She treated and loved Daisy as if she were her own. She sent photos to help pass the time and was overly accommodating. I will most definitely bring Daisy back for another visit soon. Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”

“Dawn was absolutely amazing with my 2 furs I left with her for the day. She made me feel very comfortable and my pups. She was so sweet to them. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. She was very kind and loving. My girls Hazel and Cocoa came back SO tired and didn't want to leave. Made everyone very happy :) 10/10 definitely recommend”
“Hila hosted Millie for a day and Millie had a great time. We are so happy Hila was available. Hila was also communicative and flexible with us. Millie Enjoyed playing with Hila’s dog Ruby too.”
“This was our first time using rover, we were nervous about leaving our pup with a stranger but Sandra was super helpful in guiding us through the process. From the second Sandra grabbed Yogi into her arms I knew she would be ok. We received updates with pics throughout the day. This may seam like a small detail but, when I picked up Yogi, Sandra poured water into her cupped hand so Yogi could drink, that said a lot to me. She really cares about the dogs. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Alexis was great with Piper and she took great care of her. Piper left there very happy. It was her first time in doggy daycare. Alexis took Piper on a nice walk and provided updates to us throughout the day. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you for taking good care of our pup. 🙏🏻”
“Kimberly was amazing! Very attentive to my Macie and reassured me when leaving my pup for daycare for the very first time. Macie loveed her and have a wonderful day at Kimberlys! We're looking forward to booking again!”
“We left our lab with Sara for half a day so we could attend a nearby wedding, and she was so great with him! He's super energetic, and she was so patient with him and took him on long walks and played with him! She was also so helpfully flexible about the pickup time, because we couldn't really pinpoint it in advance. Would definitely go back if we're in the area!”
About: My first pet ever was a bunny named Einstein. I then had a parakeet, Guinea pigs, cats, more bunnies and of course a few dogs throughout the course of my life. I quite literally squeal every time I see a cute dog. My friend recommended this to me because she recognized my love for dogs. I am currently working full time and on my days off I’m hustling by doing DoorDash, or providing Content Day services to other creators in the neighborhood. On a day where I close at 1:30pm I can fit in a dog walk for a few hours in the morning. If I open I have time after work to pick up more work. I treat my pets as an extension of my heart. Providing love, attention and affection to dogs really warms my heart. Fulfilling their lovely doggo needs is a privilege.

About: I've grown up taking care of multiple dogs and cats my entire life! I love playing with animals and giving them lots of attention. I enjoy taking dogs on sniff walks and playing mentally enriching games with them! I have often taken care of family and friends' animals throughout the years.

I am available all day every day except for Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Wednesdays I am available in the morning and afternoon until 3 pm.

I will spend a minimum of 30 minutes at your house, providing your animal with whatever care it needs, as well as lots of love and attention!

“I'm so lucky to have Kamber as Bernie's dog walker! She's always on time and reliable, and she leaves my house neat and tidy. Bernie adores spending time with her and loves when her daughter comes along for extra playtime. Kamber is fantastic at taking care of Bernie. She's super careful and always looks for potential dangers, like other dogs or cars. Plus, she's been helping me train Bernie to be more comfortable around other pups when we're out for walks. I can't say enough good things about Kamber's communication skills. She's excellent at keeping me updated on everything with Bernie and is always on top of scheduling our appointments. I trust her completely and am happy to have her as our dog walker!”
About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.
About: As an experienced and long time foster, I have cared for dogs in my home with varying needs and personalities. I provide lots of affection, as well as necessary structure, to ensure a balanced and fun stay for all. I also have a sweet, Boxer-mix Zoe (50 lbs), and a Sato from Puerto Rico named Ellie (15 lbs), who love their foster siblings, and boarding mates & love to play, cuddle, and bring them out of their shell, especially little dogs. I have a few years of experience with rescue dogs, including puppy mill dogs, and street rescues, because of that I'm very confident working with shy, nervous dogs that need a little more TLC. In my personal time, I work as the social media coordinator for a dog rescue, and walk dogs for a friend's dog company.
About: From overnight stays and walks to playtime and cuddles, family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their fur baby. Being able to work with cats and dogs on a daily basis as a veterinary assistant continues to help me accumulate various skills to work with animals of all temperaments and ages! I’m currently working part time so I’d have flexible time to spend with your precious pups whether during the week or during the weekend ! Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I provide calm, reliable, and loving care while keeping pets comfortable in their routine. Owners trust me for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays, knowing their pets are safe and genuinely cared for. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pet receives consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and overnight. I always put safety and comfort first. I follow each pet’s routine and owner instructions closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and provide attentive supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.
About: I love dogs and have been working with them for 2+ years now. I care for them at home, give required medications and give them long enjoyable walks. I can come in at a time convenient for you and respond to the needs of your dog. I can also care for cats as well. If needed, when I stop in, I can also bathe dogs if needed by the owner. I want to do all I can so that your beautiful animals are happy, safe, well fed and comfortable. I can provide exercise for high energy dogs as well. I want to do all I can for you, the owner, and your precious pet. Please consider me for your pets needs to be met. Thank you.
About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.
About: I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I have volunteered countless hours in a shelter and have lived with dogs for the last 10 years. I have experience with both pure breed and rescues. I am an active person so your dog will always have someone to play with! I currently work nights so late night or early morning visits are never an issue! I love to stay active and four legged friends the attention they deserve, so if you want your animal to not only be acted for but loved then please reach out to me. Depending on the services provided and your dogs actively level I would love to take them for a long walk or chase each other in the backyard. I am currently a nursing student so I enjoy having an outlet of pet therapy to distract from the stress of school work.
About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.
“Natisha arrived on time and was friendly. My dog was a little shy at first (this is not unusual) and wanted to head home early, but Natisha extended the time with my approval and he was fine! This was my first time using the app and Natisha was helpful with answering my questions.”

“Andrea is a beautiful, intelligent and compassionate professional. She cares about the animals she looks after while 'pet parents' are away. She reduces anxieties naturally by listening carefully and observing astutely. Hygge had never been away or 'boarded' for pet sitting prior to my experience with Andrea. At all times she was communicative, caring and purposeful in her interactions with Hygge, who probably worried about being in a new home away from home for a few days on many levels. My transportation plans were delayed due to a severe storm that prevented my scheduled pick up, and Andrea was patient, reasonable and loving during my own stress about being stuck in NYC beyond my control for the pick up of my dog after traveling for a few days. She worked with me every step of the way, and the boarding experience was a total success even with transportation issues. Hygge returned home happy, healthy, well-nourished and satisfied with renewed confidence in his ability to work with another lovely family in our sweet community in a spirit of trust and sucess. All in all, I would recommend Andrea to work with anyone who has pets they love and want to broaden the scope of their pet's world by allowing Andrea to work with them and care for them. Andrea also understands the complexities of rescue animals, and will work with you so all are informed and kept in safe environments that nourish everyone's positive potential. She is also very pleasant and loving. She is a talented professional and a local treasure to all who come in contact with her.”
“Alexis took great care of our dogs and provided regular updates. She was thoughtful, accommodating, and considerate with all of our plans. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“I had a pleasant experience with Gabriel and I believe my dog did too! She seemed to be content and relaxed, so much that she found a bed of her liking. It also makes it more fun when there are friends to play with, who were friendly and chill once all the excitement wore off. I would definitely have my dog stay at Gabriel’s home again! I felt comfortable and reassured as he sent me updates on any mischief she was getting into and influencing his dogs to do. He was also accommodating, as I picked her up very late. Would recommend to doggies that enjoys others’ company!”
“Beckie and her family were the perfect home away from home for our high-energy 2yo German Shepherd. She has a beautiful and massive back yard and provided photo updates throughout the stay. We’ll happily trust Beckie with Echo on future trips and highly recommend her!”
“Kristen was very accommodating and my pup seemed very happy in her home. My dog is usually very anxious at first but she calmed down quickly with Kristen and her sweet dog Jackson. Will definitely use her again.”
“Megen took great care of our dog Lotta. She has a fenced in backyard which was great so our dog was outside a lot and played with the other dogs there. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”
About: I lived in California for 4 years and while I was there I was apart of a dog rescue. Many dogs lived at my house. I also had a couple of cats , so I am comfortable around both! I am working part time at the moment so my schedule is pretty open for the most part. You can just ask me a time and I can see if I can work around it! I watch a family friends dog a lot at my house. He just wanders around the house. He is usually stuck to me like glue so he doesn’t go far lol . When he stays at my house he just lays in bed with me. He is a Maltese and Chihuahua mix! When he goes outside to use the bathroom he doesn’t go far and he listens to me when I tell him to come. I do not have fencing or anything around my house.
“Cici was wonderful with Ruby! I had another rover fall through and Cici worker with me to find a solution. We were able to have a very slow and steady meet and greet. It gave Ruby a ton of confidence for the stay. All the updates about how my pup was fitting in with her family were great. She handled the pup well. Would highly recommend”
“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”

“Francesca and John were wonderful! Buddy did very well during his stay. This was his first time ever boarding and I was nervous about how he would do since he is an older dog. They kept me updated all the time and assured me he was relaxed and not anxious. So glad we found them!”
“Kim was very quick to respond to me whenever I wanted to check in and see how Ryder was doing. She was very friendly and welcoming. She sent me pictures and made me feel comfortable that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and I am very pleased with the entire experience. Thank you again Kim for everything. I would use her again if I need a sitter.”
“Terrance was amazing! He handled our dog with care, he was professional and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. I would highly recommend his services! Thanks Terrance!”
“My dog Griffin has been to other Rover sitters and this was the first time he showed me that he was completely comfortable from the moment he walked in the door at our meet and greet! He walked around the place like it was his own home! Amy and her family took care of Griffin for a 2 night stay. I was so happy he would be able to play with her kids and the other dogs there, as he loves attention from all beings. I will look to see if Amy is available any time Griffin needs sitting again! Thanks again, Amy!”
“Mike and his family were wonderful hosts for my dog. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone, and I just know that she was well taken care of and loved. I highly recommend their services!”
“We are so happy we found Katarzyna! She and her sweet family treated our dog like one of their own. Lots of love, attention, and treats! It was so nice to know he was well cared for while we were away and unable to bring him. Katarzyna was very accommodating and flexible about meeting before Becks' stay and figuring out drop-off and pick-up times. We also got photos and updates while we were gone, which was very helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend Katarzyna. She was a great caretaker for our older dog who would have had a hard time in a kennel setting. We will definitely leave our pup with her again!”
