“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Def recommend Tasha and Joseph to watch your fur baby. My little guy came back happy and exhausted from playing. He actually stared out the window as Joseph drove away. He’s never done that with any dog sitter. So it felt good knowing Milo was in good hands.”
“Kimberely was AMAZING with our energetic pup Mabel. She sent daily updates and videos. Mabel had a great time in her fenced in back yard. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“Taylor was amazing. She even accept my las minute request and even came to pick up and drop my dog Pika home. I’ll definitely will contact her again next time.”
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”
“This was a very last minute booking and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Rob was extremely flexible with drop off and pickup time. Responded right away to my messages and sent updates. Will absolutely book again the next time we are in Cincinnati. Thank you for a great stay!!”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“Alycia was great! Our dog Murphy enjoyed his stay and we got great communication the entire time. Will definitely be booking again next time we need to leave town!”
“Lauren and Wynn took great care of our pup! Communication was terrific with photos and updates shared regularly. They were flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times. And Vivi came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing. Highly recommend!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Courteous, competent, really helped in a pickle with our challenging puppy. Words can't express how much I appreciate his care for dog. He sent us pictures of how happy she was while we were gone and she very clearly missed him when she got back home. I would definitely ask him to host her again in the future if needed.”
“Jenny and her family and dog were wonderful hosts for our dog Gretel. Gretel got walks and affection and seemed very comfortable there. A very responsible and caring host. We will be happy to have Gretel stay with them again.”
“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”
“Lauren is a wonderful pet sitter! I feel sure my pup felt comfortable, happy, and loved while she was there—the home away from home we were hoping to find. And she sent lots of photo updates that let us know how well our dog had settled in. She gave us great peace of mind the entire time and I’m sure we will use her again!”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“We love sending our dog Bratwurst to stay with Amir! Amir is always kind and communicative and is very knowledgeable about exactly what our dog needs to have a safe and happy experience. Would highly recommend Amir and we will definitely plan to work with him again!”
“This was the best experience ever Dion and family are great I Will only be using Dion from this point on beautiful home yard and community 10 star rating Thanks Grady and Prince poppy”

“This was the 2nd time Jill checked on our cats and she did a great job! Excellent communication and care. She even brought a couple packages in for us :) thank you!”
“Brendan was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. My cat is skittish but she adores Brendan. Everything I asked for was done accordingly. Will definitely request his service again in the future.”
“Becca did a great job checking in on our cat Milo. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and sent cute pics of our cat while we were out of town over the holidays. Thank you Becca, we will definitely be reaching out for our future cat sitting needs!”
“In our first Rover experience, we had a great meet and greet with Hannah prior to booking. We booked with Hannah and our three cats loved her! She was an excellent caretaker - thorough with all of our care requests, kept us updated with messages and photos! Knowing that Hannah was checking in on our feline family made it much easier for us to be away for the weekend! 100% would highly recommend!”
About: Ever since my parents let me get a dog I’ve been a dog lover ever since! I’m excited to be that friendly face that pets need. I just got a cat of my own and love her to death- so I’m a new cat lover! I’m reliable and willing to do what you need for your pet :) I’m a nurse so I work 3 shifts a week! On my off days I like to workout and go for walks so it’s the perfect opportunity to take your dog out for a walk or do a drop-in visit In my own home I have two doodles and I’ve grown to love them and their personalities. When friends or family would go out of town I am easily availble to walk, feed, and care for a dog. I follow instructions well and I’m easy to get along with and trust!
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life! From pet sitting, to owning my own, I take great pride in caring for all animals. I hope to care for yours soon! I just moved to the area and am self-employed. With that flexibility being on Rover is a great way for me to fill up my day and help my fellow pet lovers! My dogs (Archie and Cooper) are my babies, we prioritize their exercise, mental stimulation and lots and lots of love. I will adhere to the rules any owner might have but always come in to your home heart first!
“Emily took such good care of our cats while we were away. It's always stressful to leave our cats for an extended period and finding someone who can take care of them is another challenge. With Emily, she went above and beyond to care for our three cats with their very different diets and needs, that also included double daily visits and she even trekked out during a winter storm to make sure they had what they needed. She always provided us with updates and photos, and was very respectful of our home while we were away. We can't recommend her enough and hope she will be available for any of our future requests because she is simply the best!”
“Suzanne did a drop in visit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with and I would absolutely rebook with her! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs :)”
“This was Jeff’s first time with our cat and he worked with us to get to know our cat and his needs during our time away. He was on time, communicative, and followed the medication and feeding instructions. We will rebook.”
“Hayley has watched my cats a few times. She went above and beyond, and stayed an extra 20 minutes, during a recent visit when one of my cats wouldn't come out of a hiding spot. She's very communicative and responsible. I highly recommend her!”
“Meranda did such an awesome job watching my cats. One of them is a senior who requires an inhaler. She made sure both of them were well cared for & both my cats took to her right away. The communication was awesome and 100% would recommend her :)”
About: Hello! I never had any pets growing up, but always really wanted a dog. I love to travel a lot, so its not the right time for one of my own now, but would love to spend time with yours. I love being active and being outdoors and would enjoy getting outside with your dog. I have experience checking on dogs throughout the day and taking them on walks for friends and family. I’d love the chance to give your dog some extra attention and help make your life a little easier! Let me know if you have any questions. I’m very easy going and hope you’ll consider letting me spend some time with your beloved family member. I look forward to hearing from you! I work as a pediatric nurse Monday-Wednesday during normal business hours. I am open for house sitting any time, as long as you understand I will be gone during the day. I can also do walks and drop ins on Thursdays and fridays I see pets as your family members and will treat them the same way I would treat your children. I will work hard to make sure they are comfortable and getting all of their needs met, and will work with you to determine what exactly those needs are.
“Nina did a great job with my little one. She asked so many questions that I honestly hadn't even given a ton of thought to during her first visit! Seemed like that had a great visit and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Lauren and Wynn were great. I booked them close to my trip date and they were able to squeeze me into their schedule. Prompt responses during booking and they sent several pics during each visit. Would definitely use them again.”
“Allison did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away for a week. She was super friendly, responsive, and easy to schedule with. We really appreciated the notes and pictures she sent everyday during her check-ins. We will definitely use Allison again in the future!”

“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.
“We enjoyed meeting Jonathan! We left Scotty with him while we attended a concert. He is quick to respond to texts and we appreciated his flexibility around not knowing exactly when we could get back. We would happily use Jonathan again to care for our dogs!”
“Lauren was amazing! HIGHLY recommend.. she checked in throughout the day with pictures and Nero was out several times throughout the day! She was accommodating to my schedule as well:)”
About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.
“Akita is professional, very responsive and amazing! My fur baby felt at home immediately. He even ate his food which he never does when he’s away from home. She was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job taking him on plenty of walks and potty breaks! He was so excited for day 2 daycare. I’m so happy I found a forever sitter for my baby! Thank you Akita!”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.
About: Hi! I’m Jenna — a recent transplant from a Colorado to Cincinnati, and a dog mom of one little munchkin. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, as I used to travel tons! So my goal now that I can care for others is to make both you and your pup feel totally at ease. I’ve cared for dogs on and off the Rover platform of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, from easygoing seniors to high-energy walkers who need a good workout. I’m super detail oriented & therefore very attentive to routines — feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication instructions, and any quirks that make your dog your dog. You can expect regular photo and video updates, clear communication, and a calm, responsible approach to care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, which means I’m a great fit if you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good match! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 Im in the office during the week, but regularly free on nights & weekends for support when you have other life commitments. My own dog, Nash, is home when I’m at work and we can arrange crate time or separate rooms if staying overnight. I'm available to take your dog out on long walks, play fetch in the backyard, or just keep them company for a break in their day. Whatever works for your dog works for me!
“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
“Kayla and her partner were wonderful with our dachshund. We needed doggie daycare while attending an event. Kayla was excellent to work with and took great care of our little baby. Highly recommend.”
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I love going on walks and seeing new parts of the city and would love to have a companion on my adventures. Our family dog passed a little over a year ago and I miss having a pet in my life even if just for a quick 20 minute walk. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am currently on summer break from work and would love to take care of your pet in my free time. My schedule is fairly open and flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and own a crate if needed for their comfort. I foster dogs so I have raised food and water dishes, a bed, and other essentials to make their stay comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m Margo — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two poodles and two labradors, and I’ve learned how to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a cat and even a donkey, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals — big, small, furry, or hooved! Friends and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for like my own. I’m a lifelong animal lover and part-time social worker who often works from home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel safe and loved. I take time to earn their trust with gentle attention, routine, and comfort.
“Lisa and John were great! It was a very last-minute booking and they were incredibly accommodating. I felt very comfortable from the jump leaving Lola with them. They helped her get adjusted and she came home absolutely wiped! I will definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

About: I currently cannot have my own dog but I love taking care of dogs. I have been watching some family friends’ dogs taking care of them and their home while they’re on vacation. I’m currently working a job part time on the weekends but my week days are completely free because I’m a teacher who is off for the summer. I have a fenced in yard. I also do not have any pets but my boyfriend and I love dogs! We love taking care of other people’s pets because they all have different personalities!
About: I’ve worked at a boarding kennel for a year and know how to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, and take care of all kinds of pets. I can also work with some exotic pets if you need to have them watched as well I don’t currently have a job so I’m free to watch pets and all times of the day or night depending on what you need. I’m good with fenced in yards or walk’s of all kinds. I have house sat while watching pets for family many times so I know how to go about house sitting for dogs and cats.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs on walks, long or short, and multiple times a day if needed. Or even if they just need to be let out in the yard and have a little play time! I have grown up around cats and understand all the little quirks that come with them. I would be perfect if they need a hangout buddy for a little bit! I always know how to find the pets at any function I’m at! I am currently waiting to start a new job, so I have all the time in the world to go on walks throughout the day, let them out in the yard to play, or even just hangout with the fur baby inside. I have always cared for animals my whole life. I understand that a pet isn’t just a pet, they are family. You can trust me to look after and care for them as if they were my own fur baby.
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She has helped me so much with my German Shepherd, Frank! She walks him everyday. She has even made herself available last minute when I have been stuck at work and couldn’t get home to my boy, life saver! I highly recommend if you want someone caring and trustworthy to take care of your fur babies!”
“Jessica was amazing. Our older dog Wallace occasionally has mild seizures. Unfortunately he had an episode during Jessica's visit. She picked him up and held him until the seizure subsided.”
“Christina has been great with our dog, he is scared of new people and she has done so much to make him comfortable and open up to her. Our dog loves his daily walks now”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. With more than 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I've been surrounded by pets since I was a child. In fact, my very first job was walking neighborhood dogs when I was in middle school—and my love for caring for animals has only grown since then. I've raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, giving me firsthand experience with house training, socialization, leash training, and the patience and consistency puppies need to thrive. My dogs are truly part of our family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for senior pets who require daily medications, as well as rescue dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, and a calm approach due to anxiety or special feeding routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for many other animals over the years, including birds, fish, hamsters, turtles, frogs, lizards, and hermit crabs. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets and am always happy to learn about their individual needs. In my full-time career, I work in an elementary school, so I have summers off and additional some flexibility throughout the year (outside of carpooling to my kid’s sports 😉). That allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and plenty of time, love, and companionship for your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away. My schedule is very flexible this summer! Since I work at an elementary school during the school year, I have the summer months off and am available throughout the day to care for your pets. Aside from occasionally carpooling my son to camp/sports, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, companionship, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule to provide dependable, attentive care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home whenever possible, where they can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that changes can be stressful for some pets, and I strive to make your time away as calm and worry-free as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to work around your dog's individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and favorite activities. I also welcome the opportunity to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and you can feel completely confident that they'll be in caring, capable hands.
About: I’ve grown up around a variety of pets, giving me years of experience caring for animals. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I’m always welcoming opportunities to walk, volunteer, care for, and spend time with the pets of friends, shelters, neighbors, and local families! I’m a teacher looking to spend some of my free time this summer walking and caring for pets in the community! My schedule is very flexible throughout June and July. I prioritize a welcoming environment by giving pets the time to adjust and feel comfortable in their surroundings. To establish trust, I put effort towards meeting each pet’s needs and your expectations.

“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Def recommend Tasha and Joseph to watch your fur baby. My little guy came back happy and exhausted from playing. He actually stared out the window as Joseph drove away. He’s never done that with any dog sitter. So it felt good knowing Milo was in good hands.”
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”
“This was a very last minute booking and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Rob was extremely flexible with drop off and pickup time. Responded right away to my messages and sent updates. Will absolutely book again the next time we are in Cincinnati. Thank you for a great stay!!”
“Alycia was great! Our dog Murphy enjoyed his stay and we got great communication the entire time. Will definitely be booking again next time we need to leave town!”
“Lauren and Wynn took great care of our pup! Communication was terrific with photos and updates shared regularly. They were flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times. And Vivi came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing. Highly recommend!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Courteous, competent, really helped in a pickle with our challenging puppy. Words can't express how much I appreciate his care for dog. He sent us pictures of how happy she was while we were gone and she very clearly missed him when she got back home. I would definitely ask him to host her again in the future if needed.”
“Jenny and her family and dog were wonderful hosts for our dog Gretel. Gretel got walks and affection and seemed very comfortable there. A very responsible and caring host. We will be happy to have Gretel stay with them again.”
“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”
“Lauren is a wonderful pet sitter! I feel sure my pup felt comfortable, happy, and loved while she was there—the home away from home we were hoping to find. And she sent lots of photo updates that let us know how well our dog had settled in. She gave us great peace of mind the entire time and I’m sure we will use her again!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“We love sending our dog Bratwurst to stay with Amir! Amir is always kind and communicative and is very knowledgeable about exactly what our dog needs to have a safe and happy experience. Would highly recommend Amir and we will definitely plan to work with him again!”
“This was the best experience ever Dion and family are great I Will only be using Dion from this point on beautiful home yard and community 10 star rating Thanks Grady and Prince poppy”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Jenna and her family provided our 17m oGolden retriever with best care when we go away for weekends or weeks. Coco loves going to their house! We trust Jenna with Coco’s safety and well-being while we are gone. Recommend her highly!”
“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”
