“Melissa and her family are wonderful. I couldn't ask for someone better to take care of my dog while I'm away. She has been very easy to work with and Nala was excited to see her again. I highly recommend.”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“Cassie and family were great with Buckeye. He seemed like he was on vacation while we were on ours. The pictures and chats were very helpful in keeping us informed. We will definitely use Cassie again for Buckeye if she will have him. 😊”
“Nathan and Jenna we're great. The dogs got 24/7 attention and love from them, the other dogs and the kids. We'll be called them up again for the next time we need a sitter.”
“While Olivia was very glad to be home, I know that she was well taken care of while I was gone. Doug followed the feeding instructions that I gave him and I hear that she had plenty of walking. I hope he is available for future occasions when I am gone. I have already tipped him on pick-up.”
“Rachel & Dan are amazing! Leaving your fur baby with strangers is a HARD choice, but Rachel sent me updates and photos everyday to ease my heart and mind. I was so thankful to see her everyday. They stayed up to accomadate my late flight home and sent my girl home with the sweetest surprise. I would 100% recommend.”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Arya is 1000% amazing and knows exactly what he's doing. Not only that but he was flexible multiple times when our travel plans changed. He sent multiple videos a day so that I knew my girl was being taken care of. He talked to me about nutrition and how to best approach temperament changes with my 1 year old doberman. He is a true professional and Sora will stay with only him from now on. Thanks Arya!”
“Gail provides excellent dog sitting service with so much care for your dog. She knows a lot about dogs, keeps you updated daily with the pictures she sends and walks your dog. I highly recommend her and I would use her service in the future if I need someone taking care of my dog.”
“Suzanne took great care of my dog! She sent me lots of pictures and she is a good communicator! She walked my dog and Lola always looked happy in the pictures! I would definitely use her again! I highly recommend her!”
“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”
“Isabel was a gem ! She’s an obvious dog lover who took Lily on daily walks and to the dog park. She texted and sent photos daily which helped me immensely. She has a huge fenced in backyard so there’s plenty of room for the dog(s). Isabel was a great fit for us and I would use her again.”
“Paula and Bill (and Marty!) were absolutely wonderful. When another solution fell through at the last minute, they quickly stepped in to care for Loki during a family event with very short notice. Their warm and caring personalities put me completely at ease, and their home is lovely and welcoming. The attention to detail they showed in caring for him was exactly what I needed during a stressful time. They turned what could have been a difficult situation into an absolute relief. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”
“We were so nervous about leaving Marshall with anyone. He is an almost 17 month old cockapoo that is totally spoiled. He has never been away from us over night. April and her husband (and their dog, Ollie) were absolutely wonderful. April is a very calm, quiet person who communicated with us how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. We are 100% satisfied and pleased!”
“Susan and Doug were excellent taking care of Russell for 2 weeks when we were out of the country. Russelll adjusted well and was happy getting a lots of walks, love and attention. We received daily updates. We are new in the area and was very lucky to have found Susan in Rover. Thank you so much!”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”
“Anita was so great! My dog is super shy but she really enjoyed her stay with Anita and fern. I got updates two times a day while on vacation and was totally confident that Luna was ok.”
“Wrigley had a wonderful stay with Mark and Vicki! We received lots of daily updates and pictures, which made our vacation enjoyable because we knew he was in great hands. He came home a happy boy from all the love and snuggles he received during his stay. We would definitely recommend Mark and Vicki to anyone needing a sitter!!”

About: Ever since I saw my beautiful calico in that window well scared and unsure, I’ve had such a special place in my heart for cats. I’ve bottle fed, given medication, handled the not so kind and sick, but still my love is just as strong.
“Hayley was dependable and always sent nice little notes and photos every day. She seemed to really care about my kitties ❤️ She was great with communication beforehand as well. Highly recommend!”
“True animal-loving and caring individual. Attention to detail, followed our excessive written instructions to the "T", and did extra work outside of requirements. We will definitely be hiring again.”
“✨ 5+ STARS ✨I have much gratitude for Marcy. I had a last minute request for a 2-week job, and she handled it flawlessly and promptly. And this was my very first experience utilizing Marcy’s services. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly adores the furbabies! I’ll definitely contact Marcy for future needs!”
About: I have enjoyed caring for cats in my home for over 45 years or more. I am always looking out for caring for my pets as well as homeless cats that show up in the neightborhood. I have adobted many cats over the years and helped to rehome many of them. I am a true cat person and look forward to caring for you cat(s).

“It was my second booking with Riley! My cat crew was well taken care of and she really takes the time to get to know each of them and their personalities and needs. She communicates what’s going on and makes me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
About: I have taken care of animals for a long time. My friends and family rely on me to feed, walk, give medicine, etc. their pets. I also have experience with caring for horses, fish, birds, reptiles not just dogs and cats. I have taken care of rabbits, mini pigs, guinea pigs as well. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your pets. I do attend college online, so there are a few hours I am busy. The benefit of me staying at the client's house is that their pet(s) will be more comfortable in a familiar surroundings. The pet(s) won't be stressed out by being in unfamiliar places and around unfamiliar animals.
About: I have over 12 years experience with dogs and cats, I have a senior pup so I am comfortable taking care of older pets, with health conditions or if they need medication administered. After thanksgiving my schedule is very flexible tell me what and when you need it and I will do my best to accommodate you and yours pets needs. I have two dogs and cat currently for your pet to play with if their personalities clash I have a spare room for them to rest and relax. I have a chain in the back yard and a crate if needed.
About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.
About: I’ve always loved being around cats and have experience caring for them both growing up and while studying abroad. I had a cat throughout my childhood, so I’m very familiar with daily cat care, feeding routines, playtime, and understanding different cat personalities. While studying abroad in Luxembourg during spring 2026, I also lived in a host home with two cats. That experience helped me become even more comfortable with cats of different temperaments and routines. I know that every cat is different, and I always try to make them feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention, patience, and care
About: I’ve been around animals since the day I was born. Currently I’m in college for veterinary technician, and working as a veterinary assistant. Animals are my passion and I love to work with them everyday. If you want a bath, or nail trims done I can also do this as well. Currently I am working full time but I have free evenings and my weekends are free along with a few designated weekdays. I can board pups overnight, or walk your pets in the evening if you’re out late. I have a husky mix who can keep your pups company while they stay with me, along with daily walks that we take her on. We enjoy hiking as well, therefore with permission can take your pup out!
About: I have over five years of hands-on experience training and fostering service dogs through Kent State University’s service dog program. During that time, I worked with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments, and training levels, helping them develop obedience skills, socialization, and confidence in a variety of environments. In addition to my service dog experience, I have owned and cared for my own Golden Retriever since 2022. Through both fostering and pet ownership, I have gained experience with puppy care, basic obedience training, leash manners, medication administration, enrichment activities, and caring for senior dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while giving owners peace of mind. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a drop-in visit, extra patience, or lots of affection, I will treat them as if they were my own. Caring for animals is something I’ve been passionate about for years. Between training and fostering service dogs for five years and caring for my own Golden Retriever, pet care has become a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I make it a priority to provide dependable care and keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedules as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. During walks and drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. With my background training and fostering service dogs, I am comfortable reinforcing basic commands, working with puppies, and caring for senior dogs. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and respect for both your pet and your home. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I highly recommend Tara as a pet sitter. She watched my 4 cats over the holidays. She provided excellent care, ensuring they were fed, played with, and received the attention they needed. She also gave our oldest kitty medication during her visits. Tara's reliability and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy sitter!”
“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats Chance and Hazel. Hazel being deaf makes communication difficult and they quickly became friends. Chance on the other hand is pretty fearful of new people. Took him a day but by day 2 she had him eating his wet food on the stairs and then the last day he actually came out of hiding to eat at his normal eating spot. I would highly recommend Hanna! We will definitely have her back again.”

“Maggie really enjoyed her doggie daycare with April in her home, this included Ollie, April’s doggie! Her parents enjoyed it even more that Maggie was safe and in good hands. April was professional and prompt in communication and sent doggie report cards each day with pictures! She was super accommodating with our special hours for pick up and drop off. We definitely will be returning to April in the future!”
About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I insist on a meet and greet to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family. I do not board pit bulls (or pit mixes), German Shepherds, Rottweilers it any aggressive dogs for my safety as well as my pup. I am retired. I never leave your pups alone. If I need to run to the store, my husband is here with the pups. When the pups are outside, I'm outside work them. I have a large fenced in back yard and a standard poodle that would love to play with your pup/pups and keep them company. She loves having new playmates.
“Kelli has been watching my Australian Shepard for nearly a month now on a weekly basis for doggie daycare. She does a wonderful job playing, walking, and caring for my Ruby. She manages Rubys high energy and chaotic personality. Kelli is a great experienced sitter and I would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Arya N was great to communicate with and it was a very easy and smooth experience. He sent multiple video and photo updates through the day even working with him and our pup came back happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you again for the care you gave to our pup for the day!!!”

About: Each and every animal that I come in contact with I am respectful and calm! I love every pet like it’s my own. Each dog requires different needs and I am completely understanding and will do what it takes for the animal to be the most comfortable and relaxed it can be.

“Parris is a natural with animals. She stepped in with my rescue dog when I needed some extra help walking him. She was patient with him and understood that he would need time to trust her. It is obvious as soon as you meet Parris that she is experienced, confident and has a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Parris for your pet needs especially if you have a pet that is challenging.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family, neighbors, and friends for the last 6-7 years. I have more experience with dogs— ranging from all sizes and ages, however I love cats and never say no to a feline friend as well! Expected care for the animals from me has included daily walks, feeding per directed schedule, hanging out with them, medication administration as needed, and cleaning up after them after an occasional “oopsie”. Most of my experience has been staying in client houses, so I am comfortable with that, however I am also more than confident with driving back and forth for potty breaks throughout the day. I just completed grad school and picked up a part time job with chipotle a couple days a week. My schedule for pet care is more client-based than anything and I will always work my schedule around taking care of the animals needs first. On days I am working at chipotle, my shifts will be no more than 8 hours long. I prefer keeping the clients pets in their homes for their safety and comfort. I will always put them on leashes unless they are fenced in and I will go outside with them initially to keep an eye on them and to feel out the surroundings myself.
About: I have over five years of hands-on experience training and fostering service dogs through Kent State University’s service dog program. During that time, I worked with dogs of various breeds, ages, temperaments, and training levels, helping them develop obedience skills, socialization, and confidence in a variety of environments. In addition to my service dog experience, I have owned and cared for my own Golden Retriever since 2022. Through both fostering and pet ownership, I have gained experience with puppy care, basic obedience training, leash manners, medication administration, enrichment activities, and caring for senior dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while giving owners peace of mind. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, a drop-in visit, extra patience, or lots of affection, I will treat them as if they were my own. Caring for animals is something I’ve been passionate about for years. Between training and fostering service dogs for five years and caring for my own Golden Retriever, pet care has become a natural part of my daily life. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I make it a priority to provide dependable care and keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedules as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. During walks and drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. With my background training and fostering service dogs, I am comfortable reinforcing basic commands, working with puppies, and caring for senior dogs. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and respect for both your pet and your home. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!
About: Ive had dogs all 21 years of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention so I understand needing the help. I love all animals and would be willing to work with pets that I have not worked with yet. I’m big on communication just want everyone to be comfortable my schedule is pretty lenient at the moment. I work for a company called premium/Acosta, which is a vendor for Walmarts. I also do Rover and Instacart. I do like to travel occasionally but I’m always big on communicating ahead of time at least two weeks in advance when I do plan something. I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I grew up with dogs and around animals all my life. I love all animals and am willing to learn and work with pets I have and haven’t worked with. I want both parties to be as comfortable as possible. I love communication, I always appreciate tips and tricks from the owners especially letting me know any triggers for the pet or boundaries.
About: Each and every animal that I come in contact with I am respectful and calm! I love every pet like it’s my own. Each dog requires different needs and I am completely understanding and will do what it takes for the animal to be the most comfortable and relaxed it can be. I am grateful for the love animals give me and I hope that I can give them that love back. Animals are part of families and I want to provide that comfort when their families are not around! I have expierence with being around all different animals since I was very young. I have been dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I have the experience you want for your loved family member. I work at a veterinary clinic so I have experience with working with all types of breeds. Being a vet assistant I am able to provide for your pet with the knowledge and confidence it takes to take care of any pet!! I work full time at a vet clinic and love to surround myself with all types of different animals! I find comfortable and peace giving people the option to have someone love their pets as my own when they are away! Any needs that your pet may need I am more than comfortable to provide. I deal with many different species and behaviors daily at my job and would love to do whatever your pets need to be comfortable.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and I currently work at a clinic where I see and care for dogs daily. Your animals will be in great hands! I work full time at a vet clinic so I am unavailable during the daytime, but I am open on the weekends. I may be able to squeeze in short visits weeknights! I am capable of caring for your animal in the ways you need, whether it is feeding, walking, playing, or anything else you might want!

“Melissa and her family are wonderful. I couldn't ask for someone better to take care of my dog while I'm away. She has been very easy to work with and Nala was excited to see her again. I highly recommend.”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“Cassie and family were great with Buckeye. He seemed like he was on vacation while we were on ours. The pictures and chats were very helpful in keeping us informed. We will definitely use Cassie again for Buckeye if she will have him. 😊”
“Nathan and Jenna we're great. The dogs got 24/7 attention and love from them, the other dogs and the kids. We'll be called them up again for the next time we need a sitter.”
“Rachel & Dan are amazing! Leaving your fur baby with strangers is a HARD choice, but Rachel sent me updates and photos everyday to ease my heart and mind. I was so thankful to see her everyday. They stayed up to accomadate my late flight home and sent my girl home with the sweetest surprise. I would 100% recommend.”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Arya is 1000% amazing and knows exactly what he's doing. Not only that but he was flexible multiple times when our travel plans changed. He sent multiple videos a day so that I knew my girl was being taken care of. He talked to me about nutrition and how to best approach temperament changes with my 1 year old doberman. He is a true professional and Sora will stay with only him from now on. Thanks Arya!”
“Gail provides excellent dog sitting service with so much care for your dog. She knows a lot about dogs, keeps you updated daily with the pictures she sends and walks your dog. I highly recommend her and I would use her service in the future if I need someone taking care of my dog.”
“Suzanne took great care of my dog! She sent me lots of pictures and she is a good communicator! She walked my dog and Lola always looked happy in the pictures! I would definitely use her again! I highly recommend her!”
“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”
“Isabel was a gem ! She’s an obvious dog lover who took Lily on daily walks and to the dog park. She texted and sent photos daily which helped me immensely. She has a huge fenced in backyard so there’s plenty of room for the dog(s). Isabel was a great fit for us and I would use her again.”
“Paula and Bill (and Marty!) were absolutely wonderful. When another solution fell through at the last minute, they quickly stepped in to care for Loki during a family event with very short notice. Their warm and caring personalities put me completely at ease, and their home is lovely and welcoming. The attention to detail they showed in caring for him was exactly what I needed during a stressful time. They turned what could have been a difficult situation into an absolute relief. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”
“We were so nervous about leaving Marshall with anyone. He is an almost 17 month old cockapoo that is totally spoiled. He has never been away from us over night. April and her husband (and their dog, Ollie) were absolutely wonderful. April is a very calm, quiet person who communicated with us how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. We are 100% satisfied and pleased!”
“Susan and Doug were excellent taking care of Russell for 2 weeks when we were out of the country. Russelll adjusted well and was happy getting a lots of walks, love and attention. We received daily updates. We are new in the area and was very lucky to have found Susan in Rover. Thank you so much!”
“Isabella made sure our two dogs had a great time with her! They went to the dog park, on a hike, and even for a pup cup. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We appreciate her taking on our last minute booking!”
“After meeting Alicia I knew our dog was in good hands. Leaving your dog with a stranger is not easy, but with a fenced in yard and other dogs of her own, I knew our dog would be properly cared for. Alicia provided us with updates, photos and even went the extra mile trying to conquer our dog’s hunger strike each time we leave him. It’s nice to know other people are willing to love your pet the same as you would so you can enjoy some time away from home. We’ll be back!”
“Great couple, loving to your per, they take great care of your pet, they provide pictures throughout your pet’s stay to keep you updated on their stay. I will always use them when needed and highly recommend them for sitting your pets.”
“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
