“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Matthew & Jill were amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care! They were flexible, caring, very professional and stayed in touch with me via text to let me know that our dogs were doing well throughout the week. We look forward to using your service again. Many thanks!”
“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.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was so kind upon meeting and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she is taking care of. We got lots of updates throughout the few days she watched our puppy. Rachel is by far one of the best Rover's we have used since moving to the area a few months ago!!”
“They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!”
“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!”
“This was our first time boarding our two-year-old toy goldendoodle, Onyx, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We received daily updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Onyx was loved and completely spoiled with plenty of cuddles, attention, and fun farm adventures. He looked so happy the entire time! We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care he received, and we already know he'll be back for many more farm excursions. Highly recommend!”
“Very pleasant experience. You can tell Dana and Jason are dog lovers. Our dog had a good time and got on well with their dogs. We especially like that Dana works from home so someone is with dogs most all ofvthe time. Will definitely use again, in fact already booked another visit!”
“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!”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“I can’t say enough about how great Debbie is. We left two dogs with her. They have such a comfortable home for dogs with ample beds, they have a very secure fenced in backyard, but most of all”
“Dianna is very accomodating. She always sends pics and videos. Her price for boarding is really reasonable. My Cookie Dough loves her time with Dianna and her family. ❤️”
“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!”

“Debra was attentive, leaving great notes and photos each day so that I would be updated and kept in the loop. I was also lucky that she was able to work in my last minute job and offered to come by for a very last minute meet and greet which was so very appreciated! I would highly recommend!”

About: I have an enormous amount of experience with animal care. I earned a bachelor's degree in zoology, am a pet groomer (dogs and cats), and have a lot of experience administering medications through my previous job as a zookeeper!

“Had 4 drop in visits for 2 cats over a weekend and was very satisfied; on-time, very knowledgeable, cats liked her, respectful, and did very well. 10/10 would recommend for any pet care needs.”
About: Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am currently 25 years old and one major thing about me is that I will love any pet like my own. I have never met a dog I haven't loved and truly I just don’t think it’s in the cards for me! As for experiences with pet sitting, my first experience was in high school. I would help care for pets of close relatives when they went out of town on weekends, as well as, provided walks and feedings on date nights. It was such an incredible feeling, not only getting to spend time and care for pets outside of my home but to be trusted enough within their loving homes. Little did 17 year old me know what was to come. At 18 I started being reached out to by friends of friends and more distant relatives, simply by word of mouth. It felt like a dream and still does to this day that people speak so kindly of me without any hesitation. I quickly realized just how fulfilling and passionate I am about caring for pets and soon applied and got accepted to work part time at a dog boarding center for 3 years, alongside my personal pet sitting gigs. As loving and supportive my coworkers and I tried to make it, it truly never did compare to the at home services I was simultaneously doing. Working there truly transformed my views on just how valuable and meaningful it is for both the pets and parents to feel loved and cared for in the safety and comfort of their own home, and how important and special it is to stay on their selected routines in a timely manner. As many can assume, caring for 20ish dogs at a time is much less personalized and catered towards them as a whole rather than their specific needs. I started to feel bothered and would find myself frustrated when dogs I learned to love so much were not taken care of in ways they deserved. Some on the more nervous and anxious side were put into situations they were not comfortable in and was heart wrenching to know they would so much rather be cared for at homes. Now stating this, of course some dogs are cut out for the rambunctious and social life and love it, although, definitely not all and leaving the facility was a hard but dedicated decision to put in my upmost effort to provide for dogs with detailed and trusted care at all hours, catered towards each lifestyle individually. I now currently have a list of almost 20 clients, some from when I was 17, to some I have just met this past year who reach out to me for animal care. I can’t help but assume more dogs could be cared for one-on-one under personal comforting care and I would love nothing more than to continue and expand my journey on loving and caring for pets locally around the Cincinnati area! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I currently nanny part time as well as work part time for concerts under live nation entertainment. Pet sitting truly has become my main focus especially this year so I value part time jobs that currently give me great amounts of flexibility and freedom to change and switch around schedules when and if ever needed! Alongside providing specialized care for pets, I fully endorse the upmost respect for people inviting me into their homes. I understand how important trust and communication is from both sides and how every home security is catered different towards one another. I find myself constantly double checking locked doors and really treat each home like my own, following all instructions given by the home owner.

“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”
About: I have 2 cats of my own and have experience administering oral medication to them. I love playing with the laser pointer or wand toys as much as they would like to and will clean out the litter box if needed ! Also have experience with scheduled feeds

Perfect for high energy dogs - Laurel
About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
“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!”
“Any was very honest and informative with an appt she had for the day letting us know our pups would be inside while she was gone. Amy sent lots of pictures, went on lots of walks, playtime and lovin’s with our boys ❤️ highly recommend. Thanks Amy!”
“Lainey had so much fun playing with Willow and Piper! She was exhausted when she came home from her doggy day care day (goal accomplished;) Heather is wonderful and everything that you could ask for in a doggy sitter! She even brushed Lainey with her furminator! Thank you!”
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 :)
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: What's a life without dogs? My fiance and I took this very seriously and life has quite literally gone to the dogs. We have designed everything in our lives to revolve around ours and our clients dogs from our home to my SUV purchased with dog transportation in mind. We live in between the small towns of Bethel, and Felicity Ohio which gives us access to explore the banks of the Ohio River or the trails and creeks of East Fork Lake with our pets and occasionally the pets that stay with us. I'm a former veterinarian technician who quickly understood that after leaving the field I still needed and wanted to work with animals so I created Louvre where I can offer a safe, relaxing, and structured environment for my pet sitting and grooming clients. I've had pets my entire life and have always aspired to have a career involving pets, and while I loved being a technician the hours made me feel as if my own pets weren't getting the attention that they needed. Pet sitting has allowed me to spend time with my pets and my clients pets full time. I have experience with all ages, all breeds, and a wide variety of temperaments, as well as a keen understanding of canine body Language which allows for me to ensure that while your pet stays with us their needs will be met and their well-being prioritized. We have a fenced in yard were dogs can play while being supervised, two small towns which offer safe areas to walk your pets, and a living space that is accommodating to all pets. Here your pets can lounge on their choice of dog beds, couches ( our dogs have their own.), and plenty of toys to choose from in hopes that their boarding stay will be as comfortable for them as if they were staying at home. I'm currently pet sitting full time. My days revolve around my personal and client dogs. We have plenty of time for play time, snuggles, and anything else that they may need. While your pet is staying with us they will be treated as if they are our own. We tailor each pets stay to the pets individual needs to give then the best experience. We know thar boarding can be stressful for you and your pets and we do everything that we can to minimize that stress for everyone. I'll update you during your pets stay with photos, text, and videos so that you can see how your pet is spending their time here. We also provide everything needed for boarding except for your pets food, medications, supplements, and crate ( if applicable.) We find that this makes traveling easier for you and settling in easier for your pet. Of course you're welcome to bring whatever you'd like with your pet for their stay.

About: Hi! My name is Kate Palmer, and I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati 🎓❤️ I just started on Rover and am looking for pet sitting opportunities because I genuinely love animals and caring for them! 🐶🐱 Although I’m new to Rover, I have years of caregiving experience through nannying for multiple families, which has taught me how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable. Right now, I nanny, but my schedule depends on when the family needs me, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability 😊 I grew up around dogs and lots of cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life 🐾 My parents have a dog that I help care for often, and I also have two cats of my own! Because of this, I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, different personalities, and making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love being active, going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away 🦴☀️ I understand trusting someone new with your pets can feel nerve-wracking, especially with a new Rover sitter, but I truly care about providing the best care possible and treating every pet like my own 💛 I’m very detail-oriented, communicative, and reliable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for your pets while also growing my experience on Rover 😊🐾 -Kate💓 I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati, so I have a very flexible schedule right now alongside babysitting and am currently looking for full-time opportunities. Because of this, I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and even last-minute bookings. Caring for animals already fits naturally into my everyday life, I grew up with dogs and cats, help care for my parents’ dog, and have two cats of my own! I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away 💛 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals and I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care. Since I have a dog and two cats of my own, I’m very familiar with reading animal behavior, giving pets attention and patience, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands!
About: Hi! I'm Lisa. I have owned a house cleaning business for 10 years and decided to make a switch to pet services. Who doesn't want to spend their days walking dogs?! I have cared for my clients pets throughout the years and have a genuine love for all animals. I also love the great outdoors with hiking being my favorite hobby. I am a mother of two teenage sons and spilt my time between Cincinnati and Atlanta in a long distance relationship. I offer services in both cities! The safety of your pet is my number one priority. I will ask for details about your pet's routine and behaviors to ensure your pet is properly and safely cared for. I will always stick to the information you give in the care instructions and I never hesitate to ask questions if something is not clear. I make sure to follow their schedules so they never miss a beat! I am alert and aware on walks to ensure everyone's safety. I look forward to meeting your pup! I'm available for dog walking everyday!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!
“Maddie is great! My cat instantly recognized her love for animals when he approached her :) I got cute photos and details of the walks. She is patient with my senior dog who needs extra time going up the stairs which is much appreciated.”
About: I have had every type of pet under the sun. Birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish, cats, and of course dogs. I have vast knowledge of dog body language and psychology, since I trained service dogs for children, either as a volunteer or employee, for 8 years. I have a bachelors degree in Zoology, and have never known life without pets in my home. I also have experience as a zookeeper, working with a huge variety of species, and regularly administering medications. I run a small dog grooming business out of my home as well, have raised several puppies, and have 2 cats of my own! I am currently unemployed, looking for new opportunities, so during the workday when pet owners can't be home to care for their fur balls is my specialty! I ensure every pet has been seen and is healthy and happy with each visit. Requested pet care will be done with the utmost care and respect for each animal, and your home! If I have important questions I will always ask before I make a decision. For dog walking, I used to train dogs for search and rescue, so pulling doesn't intimidate me! I will walk each dog at the pace that is best for them and their energy needs.
About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!
About: Hi friends! I enjoy exercising and animals especially dogs, why not just do both? If you or someone you know needs a reliable dog walker, I'd be happy to walk and play with your pets. I'm flexible with times and will commit to making sure your pup will be tired and happy! My schedule is yours, morning, afternoon, or night will always work for me. I'm excited to treat your pup like my own and I hope to meet you and your fur friends soon! I am always exercising and walking, so why not included your furry friend? I would love to be on your schedule and help your dogs loose their energy! I am not offering care at my home since I have two myself. I would always keep an eye on them no matter what and always see what I could do to help them out!
About: I worked at a boarding pet care store for over 2 years in high school. Where I took care of dogs of all ages and sizes as well as working up front where I gained tons of knowledge about animals. I currently have not much to do since I’m on winter break for college and have no other major responsibilities or vacations. I also can always stay the night if needed. I make sure that any pet feels safe and comfortable with me as well as ensure that they get the proper care and love they need while I’m with them.
About: I have always had pets growing up when I was younger and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is caring for my own pets and caring for family, friends and I also have volunteered at shelters as well. My husband and I only have one dog. She is a GoldenDoodle/Labradoodle but we get her cut like a standard doodle and she is our world. I love training/exercising with her everyday and she pushes me to be the best that I can be. With our fur baby she gets a long walk in the morning, breakfast and lots of lovings. I do work a full time job in healthcare during the week Monday- Friday 8:00-4:30pm but I’m fully open on weekends. When I come home she gets a long walk, lots of play time outside, dinner and after dinner we take a long walk. I’m very cautious in all of my surroundings. Making sure every dog is securely leashed and properly walked or if you do have a fence I will follow any rules that abide.
About: I am a animal lover of all sorts, I have two healthy dogs that make my days better. I have cared for dogs for 7+ years. I always watch my family members pups when they have to go out of town. I someday would like to be a vet I will be going to school to pursue that. I take very well care of my pets and I hope you consider me to take care do your furry four legged best friends/fur babies. I will do my best to love and care for them like they are my own. I have cared for senior dogs 12+ I have cared for hyper dogs, mellow dogs, special needs dogs. Dogs of every shape and size make me happy. I have a pretty open schedule open to different availability. Currently work night shift but will work varying shifts with different levels of time and days. But will always find a way 🙂 I love my pets and don’t restrict them that much, love to take them on walks and play with them we love cuddling on the couch. I would take care of any and everybody’s pet like my own.
About: *Note about rates and dates* I'm happy to discuss/negotiate amicably agreed upon $$rates but please understand, Rover takes 20% and I pet sit full time so this is my main source of income. Additionally, my sister is on Rover. Her name is Brett. If I'm unavailable, I highly recommend reaching out to her! She has 3 years experience pet sitting. Her link https://www.rover.com/sit/brettg06694 (scroll down for bio). I'm your pet's new best friend! Well sort of. You come first! 6 years experience taking care of multiple pets. Administered medications and special feedings. I've watched furry, fluffy and feathery pets from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies and even a rat! I pet sit full time so I'm at your plaxe most of the day. Likely, I'll leave to workout, run errands, see friends but I will let you know if there's a particularly busy day and we'll discuss so you feel comfortable knowing your pet(s) is still being taken care of. Plenty of time to stay at your place overnight, teach fitness or clean a house then come back for quality time with your fur family. I DO NOT PROVIDE HOUSING AT MY HOME. I will gladly come to your residence and even stay overnight for your pets to alleviate any anxiety and make you and your family feel safe and at ease. References upon request. My business operates mainly by word of mouth. As of May 2021, I've worked full time as a pet sitter. To put it in perspective, I'm house/pet sitting 300/365 days of the year. Please check availability as my pet sitting schedule fills up quickly.

“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!”
“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.”
“Matthew & Jill were amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care! They were flexible, caring, very professional and stayed in touch with me via text to let me know that our dogs were doing well throughout the week. We look forward to using your service again. Many thanks!”
“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.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was so kind upon meeting and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she is taking care of. We got lots of updates throughout the few days she watched our puppy. Rachel is by far one of the best Rover's we have used since moving to the area a few months ago!!”
“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!”
“This was our first time boarding our two-year-old toy goldendoodle, Onyx, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We received daily updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Onyx was loved and completely spoiled with plenty of cuddles, attention, and fun farm adventures. He looked so happy the entire time! We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care he received, and we already know he'll be back for many more farm excursions. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Dianna is very accomodating. She always sends pics and videos. Her price for boarding is really reasonable. My Cookie Dough loves her time with Dianna and her family. ❤️”
“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!”
“Wow, I was so pleased with Abbie as a sitter for our two 10 month old Winston & Riley. My anxiety level dropped from the pictures she sent, we would look forward to her updates. I could see the content in our boys eyes & the bonus was how her children loved on them during their five day stay. This stay was the first time using Abbie & Rover and will not be the last. I have bragged on Abbie to my friends that I was so pleased, which made my time away so much more enjoyable with no worries. We will be back soon.”
“Tammi was wonderful. First time my dog had been anywhere but home overnight. She sent updates and pictures to help ease my mind while I was away. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the near future.”
“Katie was flexible and accommodating. She was easy to communicate with, and she sent several pictures and updates. We will definitely contact her in the future if we need a sitter :)”
“Hailey was extremely friendly and trustworthy. She kept our 3 fur babies and they were well cared for. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of a safe space for your animals to stay while you're away. Thank you again Hailey!”
“Emily was amazing. We just got our pup less than a week before a family vacation. She was very accommodating helping potty train him, and teaching him commands. She sent pictures/ vidoes and updates daily. I was worried our pup wouldn't want to come home he was so happy. He was having so much much fun and was able to run and play. He was freshly bathed when we picked him up. Emily even accommodated a early drop off. I was completely pleased with the experience and felt comfortable on our trip. Our pup was in the best hands. Would definitely use her again in the future. I'm sure our puppy would agree and be happy to visit again!”
“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
“Patricia is lovely. She made Littel Gril forget who I was. She was treated like the princess she think's she is. Pat sent me daily updates with photos. Little Girl had a great time in the back yard and on walks. When I came to pick her up, she looked at me and I wasn't sure she wanted to go home. Definitely recommend Patricia and I will be using her again to care for our little Doggie Girl whenever we travel and cannot take her with us.”
