We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”

It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”

I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”

“I simply cannot say enough good things about the experience of having Connie and Greg watch Carter for me while I was away. I have booked with Connie several times in the past and I will continue to book with her in the future. It is a relief to know that Carter is the best hands when Connie is watching him. While I always miss my fur baby when I'm not there, I never have to worry about him getting the care and attention he needs. My dog has a sensitive stomach and very strict diet limitations. Connie's attention to detail while adhering to his restrictions is so appreciated. Connie maintains constant communication with text messages and pictures so that you know your pet is doing well! Leaving our pets while away is stressful, but I assure you, you have nothing to worry about when you choose Connie. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Sauddi was AMAZING!!! 10/10 best sitter we have had for Lucy. I have never received as many updates and pictures as I did in the week long stay that she had Lucy.

Thank you again for taking such good care of Lucy! Whenever we need a sitter again, we will for sure be contacting Sauddi again.”

“Diane is an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative while we were gone - sending photos and updates on how our kitties were doing. She cared for them like they were her own. The litter boxes and house were in great shape when we returned as well. I highly recommend Diane!”
“I enjoy receiving the details and pictures. My Sqeakers loves Brittany’s attention. I feel better knowing how my 16 year old fur baby is doing health wise. We both have been blessed with the pleasure of the knowing cats as toddlers and have acquired a wealth of knowledge about the care of soft, purring snugglers so we can love on them many more years.”
“Sara was communicative and reliable. I appreciated her efforts and care for my pets while I was away. She also met with me beforehand and answered any questions I had which I appreciated. I recommend her.”
“Cassie did an absolutely outstanding job with our two bunny boys. We were away for an overseas trip, but her attention to detail and care kept us worry-free! She sent us daily videos and photos where we could tell that our boys were being pampered and loved on. We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be using her again!”
“Emmalee housesat and took care of our two cats while we were out of town for a weekend. One cat is very anxious around new people, but Emmalee sent a picture of her doing one of her tricks the very first night, so I knew our girl had already warmed up to her. We came home to happy cats and a clean home. We would definitely use Emmalee again.”

“Alexa was amazing! She was so good with our new puppy! We were nervous about leaving her at home being so young and Alexa made us feel so much better knowing she would meet all her needs while she was there for her.

About: I have had kitties most of my life. I love kitties! Right now I have 2 cats of my own and I foster others. It took 3.5 years of trying before I could even pet one of my foster kitties. Last summer I took in a feral mom cat and 3 of her kittens. I worked and worked with the kittens to be able to touch them. One loves to be petted and the other 2 kittens will only let me pet them while they are eating a churu treat, lol. I bought a generation 7 wheel for the kittens. The one male kitten gets the wheel going so fast! He loves it! They're all so fun and spunky :)
“Natalie is amazing! I asked for her to help at the last minute and she didn't hesitate to help. She is very patient and was great with my stubborn dog. Thanks again Natalie!”
“Shelley was great and so nice. In addition to taking great care of my 2 cats she took care of my chickens too. She offered to water my house plants while I was gone. Will definitely use her again”
About: Hi, I’m Sami! I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my entire life, and caring for animals is second nature to me. I currently have three dogs of my own, all different sizes and ages, so I’m very comfortable managing multi‑dog households, different temperaments, and unique routines. I also work daily with two dogs through my job and care for them whenever my boss travels, so I’m used to maintaining consistent schedule & feeding routines. I practice balanced training with my own dogs, focusing on clear communication, confidence‑building, and creating a safe, predictable atmosphere. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality. Your pets will be treated like my own with love, respect, and lots of attention. I work only 3 days a week and can be available most mornings & evenings for feeding or walking/play time. I will try to make my schedule work around your pets needs. In your home I will make sure your pet is happy & safe. Also safe on walks as I like my own dogs to have structure and clear communication

“Stephanie and Amanda were fantastic. 10 Stars as 5 is not enough. Great communication with easy drop off and pickup. Sent me pictures throughout the day. I’m definitely going back again.”
“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day.

About: I come from an animal-loving family and have either owned or looked after any personality a dog could possibly have! Big ones, small ones, needy ones, naughty ones, nervous ones, old ones, lazy ones, you name it! I pride myself on being “that person” that dogs naturally gravitate towards (it runs in the family). My family recently lost the last of our 3 dogs (our 15 year old Puggle), so I am equipped for even the old guys & gals too! Your dog will not just be cared for, they will be spoiled and loved on as my own. I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your baby, and Ive got you! I'll do anything your dog (or YOU) requires to be more comfortable. Even if you want to FaceTime your dog while you’re away...I won’t judge :). I know boarding places can be scary and stressful for a lot of dogs, and my goal is to provide a reliable, safe, peaceful, fun, and loving environment while you are away. PLEASE READ :) Due to the fact that I have 2 small children, I cannot under any circumstances accept: -Dogs that have never been around children -Dogs that have any specific aggression (towards food, toys, other dogs, etc.) -Pit Bulls/Rottweilers. I realize this is controversial and maybe even unfair, and If I didn’t have small children this would not be an issue, but my kids come first and I have to be selective to protect them. Being that we are caring for dogs we have never met, I cannot take the risk for breeds that could possibly do extensively harmful damage to them in a worst case scenario situation. Again, I love all dogs/breeds and realize these breeds are normally the sweetest dogs, I am just mitigating any and all risk as a protective Mama. I am currently a stay-at-home Mom! I am home every day with the occasional runs to drop my son off at preschool, or attend my own appointments that come up/occasional errands. Although I am home most of the day, I cannot accept dogs that have separation anxiety, as I do have weekly errands/school drop offs/grocery pickups etc. that take me away from the home for a small amount of time. I live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I have a partially fenced in yard, but I would not be taking any dogs out without a leash. My back yard is hidden away from the main street and is great for taking dogs out. Rest assured they will have lots of potty breaks and sniffing outside breaks. We are pretty chill here! Once the weather warms up, walks are definitely in the daily schedule if wanted/needed... or just some sunbathing outside for the dogs who love a nap in the sunshine.
“She was very kind and respondent to requested service at last minute. She definitely seemed like she knew what she was doing, not only does she watch them and do the necessities she goes above and beyond and trains them too while under her care Highly recommend!!”
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for and loving dogs, I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, drop-in visit, doggie daycare, boarding, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, giving you added peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I also have experience administering medications, providing basic training reinforcement, and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Communication is very important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your pet’s stay so you always know how they’re doing. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, explore, and relax. Located on a quiet dead-end road, it’s a peaceful and safe environment where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. If your pet is happiest in their own surroundings, I’m also happy to provide care in your home. Maintaining your dog’s normal routine helps reduce stress and separation anxiety while giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the same love and attention they get every day. Your pets aren’t just clients—they’re family, and they’ll always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I’d give my own. I am currently working from home and my availability is very flexible. I can assure that your furbaby (s) is in the best hands and I prioritize their needs above my own I have a fenced in yard with shelter and water. I live on a dead end road so very quiet and safe. Your furbabies will have fun running and playing outdoors and indoors! If you would rather me come to your home, I’m familiar with taking care of other dogs in the safety of their current environment including over night stays!
“Kristen was great. We are from PA and needed someone for a class reunion evening. We had booked well in advance but did not have realistic drop off or pickup times. She was very flexible and accommodating. My little guy liked her dogs, and that says a lot. Both she and her husband were friendly and courteous. I will use her again when we are in the area.”
“Communication was flawless. I felt safe knowing that they would be well taken care of. My dogs came home happy after spending a day with Josh and his two precious dogs. Thanks Josh.”
About: I have shown dogs in the confirmation room. For over 20 years. I have shown dogs to the point that they'd have become champions. I've had one dog invited to Westminster. I'm familiar with grooming dogs for show. But I am now retired from all those things. But I still retain my skills. Not to toot my own horn, but I have had 1 dog invited to West Minister. I am a retired school teacher. So I am usually very flexible. With my animals. Currently my. Project is working with. A new toy poodle I got. Training him. In obedience. I have one puppy, toy Poodle. I currently have 4 cats that have rescued. My puppy is doing well. I have had him for a year still working at potty training. In the evening. I usually spend time watching TV with Tallow (puppy). Socialize, socialize socialize! Working with my poodles hair while watching TV also provides bonding time and patience for you and your puppy.
“We love Kelli. She is patient, kind, and flexible. Our pup loses her mind when we pull into the driveway because she so excited to see Ms. Kelli and her day care buddies. So glad we found her!”
About: I have two dogs of my own. Both are very friendly and get along with other dogs. They have been to the dog park multiple times. I am home most weekends, evenings, and throughout the day on weekdays. I will treat your dogs like my own. I have flexible rates if you need me to watch more than 1 of your dogs. I have flexible rates if you need them watched for an extended amount of time. I have a son who has been raised with dogs since birth so he will treat them well and is not afraid of dogs at all. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to helping care for your fur baby. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I also have flexibility to leave work for an extended lunch. I have the flexibility needed to care for your pets. I have friendly pets who are used to other animals. I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule and make this as smooth as possible.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.
About: I have had pets my whole life of all shapes and sizes and I am currently a stay at home mom who is available everyday! I have to kiddos and a cat who are all familiar with dogs and other cats so they are gentle and enthusiastic to play. My background is caretaking for my family, cooking, cleaning, and I even worked at an animal shelter. Your pets would get my undivided attention, all of their needs met and more when they spend time with me! Pet care is something that comes automatic for me along with caring for my children. Everyone gets what they need before anything else is done for the day! I love taking them for walks throughout the day and I live near a park so I am always trying to spend time outside. When we are lounging inside we enjoy playing all together and hanging out in the living room. Pets that come into my home are treated like family here. I am available for boarding and day sitting so when your pets come here they will have a place to come and socialize and play all day and night. I am always home so they will always be supervised and I can give you plenty of updates on how their time with us is going. If your pet needs medications or special care that is something that I am more than comfortable with, anything to help them feel more at home with me!

About: It seems as if I've always had a cat or dog or both since I was in grade school. At this time I have many kitties and one dog. Some of my kitties are foster kitties. Some I can pet and others I enjoy from a distance. I have 1 dog named Frannie. She is possibly a Rottweiler shepherd mix. In the past I grew up with a standard poodle. I have had a shepherd mix, another Rottweiler mix and a pit mix. I have seen all my dogs and cats thru to the rainbow bridge. I have fostered a litter of labrador puppies. That was fun! I currently help my mom with her pug mix named Chloe. I am currently working part time at a pre-school. I have Mondays, weekends, holidays and the summers off. I work until noon Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays until 3pm I would need to make sure your pets are cared for before I go to work @7:15am. I have a neighbor who helps me let my dog out while I'm at work, so I would be free after work to check on your animal(s). I would then need to come back to my house and take care of my animals and then go back to check on yours. I could do that as often as needed and then longer thru the night. I anticipate every situation to be different so depending on the need. I would be able to keep kitties in my spare bedroom. I have a large screen door to put in front of the bedroom door to keep them separate from my animals if needed. I am flexible to what the needs may be

I would love to come take care of your furry or scaley friends! I currently have 3 cats and 2 lizards that are taken care of on a daily basis.

I also recently worked for an aquarium for the past 6 years, which I was a supervisor that worked up to 12 hour days taking care of basic and advanced care needs for the animals in our facility. I can give basic medications if needed or bottle feed/syringe. I can let out your dog on a runner or lead if that is preferred. Walks are also fine, given proper training based on the specific needs of the dog. I can provide playtime and enrichment to help with extra energy that needs burned off as well.
About: I have experience caring for my neighbors' and friends' dogs. If your shift is longer than expected, I will stop by and feed or let your furry family member outside.

I will exercise and walk your dog, play laser light with your cat, or do whatever else is requested.

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund, and we've had tons of cats. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I worked at does dog boarding/daycare/training. I was a kennel tech so I just took care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also took care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers were away. I worked there for over year and loved it, only leaving because I started college and moved away. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really loves my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. And I am a second year student at Muskingum University, I am majoring in Animal Studies in hopes of having an animal conservation related job. I'm a college student and normally drop in between classes and have the rest of the day to tend to pet's. During the summer I am usually employed and work around my schedule At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow
About: I take passion in taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds! I grew up surrounded by lots of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets for many years. I love meeting and getting to know each pet and their unique personality! I volunteered at a dog training center for many years while I was in high school/college. I took pride in helping and interacting with all the pups! I have 4 friendly dogs; one who is Canine Good Citizen certified that I enjoy taking into nursing homes and schools to support and uplift others! I work full-time on Rover during the summer so my schedule is fairly open throughout the week and weekends! I adjust accordingly and am always willing to change my schedule around when I am able! :) I have a fenced in back yard and 4 friendly dogs! I am willing to do whatever is best for your pet(s) so they feel relaxed and cared for in their environment.
About: When I was born, a dog was there. My dog. Moses. I grew up with him until we were both 13 and he passed away in his sleep in my bedroom. I have had every pet since. More losses and grief, but I wouldn’t trade any memory away. Now, here I am. Ready to create more memories to accompany the old ones. All because of you, Moses. 👑 I work full-time, Monday through Friday between 8 am and 5 pm. But outside the of those hours… tell your furry friend to buckle up cause he’s/she’s gonna have trouble keeping up with all the fluffy awesomeness headed his/her way! (Unless he/she just wants to rest, of course.) We can go through any information prior to my visit, but rest assured that I am a problem solver. Trust me, I have kids. I’ll find a way through any storm and valley, and you’ll keep your peace and joy.
“Marcy is fantastic!! She is very helpful and always cheerful. She has a great rapport with my puppers and they are so excited to see her!! She is reliable and dependable. Her organization and communication skills are top notch and she is a lovely young lady!!”
About: Life long animal lover - dogs, puppies, cats, horses, ponies and many others. Semi retired and on a flexible schedule so I have time to shower kindness and caring on your pets while you’re away. I have experience in obedience training and worked as a professional groomer for both dogs and cats. I was adopted by my 2 fur babies (both rescues) and I frequently watch my grand dogs. Please contact me if you are needing help with your pet(s) during work days or while on vacation. I also have experience in the health care field (for humans) which is helpful in taking care of pets with special needs. I am available most of the time. I’m semi retired and have occasional commitments but will always put your pet as a priority if they are under my care. Am happy to care for your pet! I prefer to have pets crate trained to stay in my home overnight; owner would need to provide the crate. This is just for their safety! I will come to your home to walk, play and feed your pets as desired!
About: Hi! I'm Lillie - your pets' new favorite person! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages - from wild-child puppies who need lots of patience and training, to sweet seniors who need meds, mobility help, and extra snuggles, and everything in between. I'm super detail-oriented about routines, I treat your home with total respect, and I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to worry while you're away. Whether it's drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I stick to your instructions exactly - feeding, potty schedule, playtime, and all the love they can handle. Your pets will be my #1 priority and I'll be your main sitter and communicator. My partner Justice is occasionally available to help with a walk or check-in if needed (like if I'm already booked nearby), but I'll always clear it with you first. I'd love to meet you and your fur babies! I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to dedicate quality time to pets. I currently have experience caring for my own dog and other family pets, so I’m used to regular feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. Depending on your needs, I can provide daily visits, walks, or overnight care, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of exercise, love, and supervision. I treat every pet in my care as part of my family. In my home or a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions carefully, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I have been dog walking and house sitting since I was in 6th grade! I wanted to help and earn money for my parents so we could afford groceries! Over time I grew to love watching over animals and their homes! I love every single animal I have come by and absolutely adore taking care of them and getting to know each and every spunky trait they have! I have a very flexible Hybrid job! I work from home Everyday except for Wednesdays! On my office day I work in Twinsburg from 8:30a-5p. If your pup cannot be left alone for 7-8 hours, let me know in advance so I can request to work from home on my office day :) Being active is one of the most bonding experiences between you and an animal! Most importantly I make sure to ask about their animals activity and if they like certain areas to walk in or play! Making sure to follow an animals regular schedule is super important because it can be stressful for them to have a new person in their home and having that person follow their routine puts the furry friends at ease as well as pet parents :) Proper care is of upmost importance !

“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”
“Melissa is amazing. She took care of Happy as her own dog. She sent me multiple videos and pictures and I loved them. Happy had an amazing time and got so much love. Thank you! So much”
“Rikki provided our puppies excellent care. While they were happy to come home, they were also happy with the care enviornmemt that Rikki provided. We will be using Rikki again this coming Monday.”
“George was the best. He took care of my toy poodle with such care. Tallow, my toy poodle, had never been with anyone else. He grew accustomed to George very quickly.. George showed a lot of care for him. I highly recommend him.”
“My dog immediately felt right at home at Kat's house. She was great with her. Kat was also really easy to communicate with on pick up and drop off times. I would definitely use her again.”
“Highly recommend! Took great care of my pup and was very good with communication! Flexible and you can tell she loves all animals as much as her own! ? my buddy had a great time there”
“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.”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“Melissa was amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog I’ve never left her with a stranger before and as soon as I met her I know it would be good. She gave me daily updates and pics which I loved and felt at ease on my vacation. Will def be booking her again if needed!🩷”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Sauddi was AMAZING!!! 10/10 best sitter we have had for Lucy. I have never received as many updates and pictures as I did in the week long stay that she had Lucy. We got close to 200 pictures and a bunch of updates throughout the day. She treated Lucy just like her own and she enjoyed every single moment they had together. Thank you again for taking such good care of Lucy! Whenever we need a sitter again, we will for sure be contacting Sauddi again.”
“My best friend Bernie… And energetic and very social beagle… spent a lovely six days with Zachary and his dogs. He was sad to go home, which made ME feel kind of bad but at least I know he had a good time! Zachary was an excellent communicator, and offered photos of Bernie during his stay. Large fenced yard.”
“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!”
“Jenna and her family took very good care of my babies while we were out of town for a week. Although my little male dog gave her a bit of a challenge by peeing on the floor. I feel they were very well taken care of. I Would definitely recommend her and her family to anyone. She communicated daily with pictures. Made me fell very relaxed while out of town.”
“She was awesome and extra attentive since I was sending my cats off to temporary foster and their stay with her. She kept me updated on their interactions and progress in a new environment. She also sent lots of pics and allowed me the opportunity to watch them through camera footage. She was great!”
“We had a great experience with Corey from start to finish. From the initial meet‑and‑greet, Corey was friendly, communicative, and took the time to understand our expectations for the care of our Fergal. During the stay, Corey shared updates on how Fergal was doing, and at pick‑up he provided feedback on how the stay went, including little details about Fergal that made it clear he genuinely paid attention and cared. A stay with Corey doesn’t feel transactional — it feels personal, it’s clear he truly cares about the dogs he looks after. He’s quick to respond, communicates well, and does his best to fully understand and deliver on expectations. Fergal was comfortable and well cared for in Corey’s home, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“We have been booking with Heather for our 5 animals for years now. Heather and her husband watch our 4 dogs and cat once a year for our vacation. I schedule my vacations around them now because I don’t trust anyone else with my kids. I love that they always send daily updates with pictures and let me know any concerns they have (my one dog is getting old and stiff. Heather’s husband told me that he was bumping into things and might be developing some eyesight issues). They are very attentive. One year my cat and one dog got into a tiff (as they do sometimes) and Heather immediately contacted me and told me about it and told me she separated them to cool down. I have a very nervous rescue that does not like anyone but I get pictures of her laying with Heather and her husband. I have only ever seen this dog hug my husband or I in the 3 years we have had her but she hugs them. This tells me all I need to know since Ivy doesn’t trust anyone. My dogs seem to feel comfortable when I leave them there and not panicked. My cat and older dog take medicine daily and Heather gets my stubborn cat to take her medicine with no problem. Your pets are safe with them.”
“Absolutely amazing, very friendly and amazing with our 2 dogs. She stepped in when a different rover provider could no longer care for our dogs during our vacation. Elysia sent us many pictures and videos and kept us up to date, putting our mind at ease. We highly recommend her and will be booking again!”
“I cannot recommend Aricka enough! She took such great care of my animals. She had amazing communication sending pics and updates. When we came to pick them up my pup didn’t want to leave. She’s the best rover and the reason I want to keep using rover! I’m so grateful for her taking such great care of them in such short notice.”
