“I know my Marvel will be treated like family by Juliann, receiving lots of love, attention and stimulation. Knowing he’s being well-cared for allows me to relax when I have to be away. That peace of mind is priceless!”
“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”
“Kelsi was EXCELLENT. She very responsive with communication and loved her pictures and updates. Leaving a young pup with her felt like a lot to take on but she seemed very willing and capable! Sounds like they had a wonderful time together. I will definitely use Kelsi again in the future!”
“Super awesome nice family took excellent care of my German Shepherd for six days! Excellent communications and pictures during his stay. I will definitely use their services again.”
“Murphy always has fun at Suzanne's. He comes home happy, rests and sleeps a lot for a day or two and then drops back into his more sedentary lifestyle routine. Even though we moved further away from Suzanne, we would never consider another sitter unless she's on vacation or has too many puppy guests ahead of Murphy. Suzanne is always notified way ahead of the dates we need her help so she can take Murphy.”
“It is incredible. Zack loves it when he gets to see his friend. Kinda sad he wants to leave so easily with her. lol. Fantastic host, love having her watch him. Thanks for your help.”
“Lyssette kept me updated with pictures and video my whole trip. We used her our first time using rover and she did a wonderful job and my dog was very happy when she got home. We used to take my dog to boarding places but after it made her super sick last time we decided to try out rover and I’m glad we did because it was a very good experience.”
“Jessica was prompt and eager from the beginning as we were looking for a last minute sitter. It was our first time leaving our rescued pup with someone and she was open for all questions and concerns we had. She went above and beyond our expectations by sending us daily photos and updates on how our dog was doing which helped tremendously for us to enjoy our vacation with an ease of mind. Our dog has had minimal interactions with other dogs due to covid and we were very worried about how he would react being around other dogs. But wow!!! He did amazing and we feel so proud of him with how well he socialized and overall did. Jessica invited us in and showed us where our dog would be playing and hanging and her huge fenced yard was amazing. He had so much fun I could tell and I feel he didn’t want to come back home ? Can’t thank Jessica enough for this first time experience! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Hannah was Amazing with our boy kitty Finnegan. He was happy and healthy and excited to be home after 8 days. She continued to give us updates almost daily, she was very good with communication, and seemed to Really love animals. I would recommend Hannah to watch anyone's pets and if I ever need a sitter I would not trust Anyone else. Thank you Hannah!”
“Liz was great! She was so kind and easy to work with, and you can tell she really loves dogs. She has three dogs of her own, so she's definitely experienced and knows how to handle different personalities. She kept me updated throughout my dogs's stay with photos and messages, which made me feel super comfortable while I was away. I could tell my dog was in good hands and was so thankful for the peace of mind. If you're looking for a sitter who's reliable, sweet and great with dogs, I'd definitely recommend Liz!”
“I’m so grateful I found Julie! I was nervous to leave my sweet girl with anyone since she has been struggling with some health issues. Julie was the best person I could’ve chosen. She was very understanding of my situation, of my dog’s health concerns and everything. She was very responsive and kind. My sweet girl had an amazing time with Julie and her family-she honestly didn’t seem to want to leave! She was happier and more energetic than I’ve seen her in a while. So grateful for Julie for offering her home and her care.”
“Dottie's care for Oatmeal was top notch!!. She went above and beyond, paying close attention to Oatmeal's needs, providing personalized touches, and keeping us updated. Her passion and professionalism make her an outstanding pet caregiver. She knows and understands various breed tendencies which is extremely helpful. We highly recommend her!”
“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“Isamar and Caleb took Ripley in on short notice and over the holidays, which was a huge relief. On top of that they were fantastic sitters making sure our dog was as comfortable in their home as she was ours. We received daily pictures and updates. I would highly recommend their services and hope to book them again myself.”
“Amy and family took great care of Ahsoka! We received lots of pictures and videos while we were away, along with updates and comments about how great she was doing, which really helped our peace of mind.”

“I am so thankful for the care Amy provided my cats while I was away for work. I recently adopted a kitten and my adult cat is not yet a fan. Amy was great at adjusting to my cat’s ever changing attitudes. While the kitten was hiding from her, she gave plenty of attention to my sassy adult cat. Once the kitten warmed up, she gave her lots of cuddles. I’m so appreciative how well Amy navigated caring for my girls, I can’t say it enough.”
“Kate was able to come last minute for a drop in visit and was truly a life saver! She played with our 2.5 year old yellow lab, followed our instructions well, and our dog was well cared for. We super appreciate you looking after our pup!”

I highly recommend her for all your pets' needs and will definitely look to her for future sitting.”
About: I don’t live in Aurora, but I split my time between Portland and Salem. If you live in the Portland area or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is there’s?? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

About: My wife, Connie, a retired nurse, and I have had six dogs over 35 years. We miss them dearly. I have raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years so I understand the patience, structure and affection that go with it. I am retired from my legal practice of 35 years, and very active. I love long walks and have a nice fenced backyard if pet sitting is needed. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle companionship or just someone who treats them like family I’m committed to make them feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for. After being self-employed for 35 years I am looking for something to keep me busy and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time. I have a very flexible schedule so I am basically available 24/7. In my home I will provide a warm, clean environment, plenty of attention and lots of outdoor activity since I’m an active retired person with plenty of time to give.
“Jill was great to work with! This was my first time booking with Rover and Jill made it easy and enjoyable! Every time I contacted her, she was prompt and very helpful with her responses and she sent photos of my dog while he was with her. i I00% recommend Jill when looking for care for your furry family member!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
“Rebecca was professional and asked questions to make sure she provided the best care for our dog. She gave us photo updates on how he was doing. Overall, we are pleased with the service. We would have her watch our fur baby again.”
“Suzzane is the greatest! I can't recommend her enough. She watched over my little puppy for about 2 weeks when I was in a bind. You can tell she loves doing this job from the moment you meet her and I really appreciated all the pictures throughout the day! Thanks Suzzane!”
About: I love animals and have been around and cared for them all of my life. I have three dogs of my own and live on a 50 acre farm. The back area is fenced, 1/2 acre. I do work during the day so my husband cares for our Rover pets while I am gone. All dogs love him and he is home during the day. I am a very experienced horse owner and can provide care for livestock as well as cats, dogs and birds. I raise Andalusian horses and have been around them most of my Life. Pets are my passion, are important and I love to be around them. They make me happy and I would love to pamper your pets! For house sitting clients, I do work from 6-2pm. I am happy to house sit but am gone during those hours. My husband lets the dogs out as needed all day long. He is home all of the time, so we do not leave our boarders alone. Our clients pets interact with our own pets. We cannot take in pets that do not get along with other dogs and cats. Our boarders will sleep with us or on their own bed if one is brought.
“Lauren was great! She was flexible & accommodating, loved on our Tucker dog, who can have high separation anxiety, and communicated with us through the day to let us know how he was doing and to verify any concerns. It was a blessing to have her watch him for the day, allowing him to join us on this trip but to know he was in good hands while we completed activities he could not join us for. We would definitely use Lauren again!”
“Hannah was great. She was very flexible and punctual and cared for our pup well. It was nice knowing our dog got to enjoy farm life. She even washed him when he got muddy. Very kind.”
“He helped get my sweet pups confidence up and playing with bigger dogs without being so submissive! My 6 months pup has gone less than 10 times and it’s already made such a positive difference in our Obi. Thank you for helping our pup grow in great ways!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. And for the past 8+ years, I’ve cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I currently have a Zara, a sweet and calm Golden Retriever, that is ready to play anytime, and a cat Logan, he loves to spend his day exploring outside. From energetic puppies who need extra playtime to older dogs who need gentle care, I’m comfortable with every personality and routine. I love long walks, belly rubs, and making sure pets feel loved and safe while their owners are away. I’m also happy to stick to your pet’s exact schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I know how important communication is, so I’ll always try to give updates. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and can give plenty of attention to your pets. After I drop my two kids off at school in the morning, I have a very flexible schedule for walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also available most evenings and weekends for pet sitting or special requests. I have a fenced yard, a very friendly Golden Retriever who loves making new friends, and a cat who enjoys lounging outdoors during the day. I always supervise outside playtime and can separate pets if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep fresh water available at all times.
About: I've grown up around Labradors my whole life. Right now I have a yellow lab named Jasmine. She's a very high energy 10 year old dog. She's not the type of lab who likes to play fetch or even go into water. Which I feel is quite odd. The funny thing about Jasmine, she sounds like a monkey at times when she wants to come in the house. A little about me- I love being out in nature. My favorite place to walk is the beautiful Sherwood parks. I feel dog walking could be a lot of fun on my off season of my main job which is school photography. I've worked as a school photographer for 22 years. So I have a lot of patience with kids and feel I could take on any kind of dog. Right now I'm looking to fill my time walking dogs so I can get more exercise and love on many different types of dogs. I'm looking to make some extra money and take some great walks around town. I'm very dependable and will show up when I say I will. I will always make sure your amazing dog is cared for to the fullest and know they will be in safe hands while I have them.
“Chloe and her family took great care of our pup when we were in town for a softball tournament. She was really flexible in accommodating our last minute game schedules for drop off and pick up. ?”
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover all my life. I’ve owned and cared for dogs large and small since I was 3 years old. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. We currently have an Australian Shepherd, Corgi, 4 cats, a Guinea Pigs and 12 chickens and 7 horses. We currently live on 20 acres and run a horse boarding facility. Besides my 18 year old daughter and my husband, the animals are my life and passion. I would love to love on your fur babies anytime you or they need. I currently work part-time doing hair out of my home 2 days a week. The rest of the time I’m supporting my daughter in her activities and spending time with our horses. I am home everyday so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. We have a good size fenced yard plus another 20 acres and 2 fun dogs to play with! They will have access to toys, food, and water and lots of playtime. My parents live on 3 acres nearby and if the client is ok with it we can go play there too. They have a creek and the property is fully fenced so the dogs love it!
About: Me and my fiancé recently got a miniature weiner dog, Hazel. My fiancé works from home and I work night shift so we are home a lot. We are hoping to host small dogs to keep our puppy company :). I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I have personally raised two puppies and have cared for my wiener dog as she recovered from back surgery. I have worked in a pharmacy and am very comfortable administering pet medications. I’m a RN who works 3 days a week, and get very bored in my off days. Would love to fill that time with animals :) We have a small dog who we walk each day and play with constantly. We’d love to host a dog for our puppy to play with and would treat them as our own!
About: With 8 years of experience as a former veterinary assistant and many many years as a dog Mama, I will love your pets like they are part of our family. I am a stay-at-home homeschooling Mama and my husband works from home. So there is almost always somebody home, if not the whole family. So your pet will never feel lonely.

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”
About: Hey! I am Amani! I love animals and have loved them since I was a young lass. I am always excited to play and be active with all the cute doggos and am willing to provide the best care your pet may need.

“Kaylie was amazing! Very understanding to our situation as well as our pup's health and it was so reassuring to know that she was there to take care of him (and help him relieve his old man bladder!). Rocco really loved her as was obvious by the look in his eyes in the pictures she would send us. Her updates about him and flexibility with us really has made our lives easier. So grateful to have stumbled on to her!”

“Elaine was a great help walking Homer while I was recovering from a back injury. She was prompt in responding to requests, bonded with Homer quickly, and provided detailed information about the walks, along with pictures. I will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a baby, and started dog sitting in my neighborhood when I was just 13. I’ve stayed overnight, popped in for walks, feeding, and quality time, and have even taken dogs to appointments! I love to go on walks, but also be calm at home, I’m always down to play, but I’m also down to take a nap when they’re tuckered out! I’m currently part time at build a bear and attending cosmetology school! So when I’m off school and off work I’ve got plenty of time with the babies! My shifts at work typically range from 5-7 hours at the most, and from Thursday-Saturday I attend school from 9-4:30 in Willsonville. I sometimes will have work after school till 7pm or 8, but will always let you know ahead of time to avoid conflict! I’m not easily annoyed, and am very sweet on animals, I can be firm if needed, take a dog potty, and crate them. With cats I can make sure they stay out of things they don’t need to be in, and make sure everyone is happy overall!
“The best feeling is knowing our loved dog Drexler is not only getting exercise but enjoying it as well. Drexler knows her schedule and waits for Diana to show up. Diana is the best! And we couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have a dog and two cats. My senior dog, Pete, passed away on 8/6 at 18. I am comfortable with dogs and cats if all ages, meds, and any other needs they may have. I’m a teacher so I can care for pets before/after school, over weekends. I can do drop ins and long weekend care as well. I can also do morning and afternoon walks. In my home, I am happy to host any dogs over the weekends who are dog and cat friendly. My cats don’t do well with unknown cats, but I can definitely drop in at your home. My home is very clean, safe, and zoned off for various animals. I have gates on my stairs, a gated yard, and locks on all the interior doors.
About: I’m a college student home for the summer who genuinely loves being around animals and making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, dependable, and patient, and I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and helping pets feel less anxious while their families are gone. I also have experience caring for both energetic younger dogs and older pets who may need a calmer environment and extra patience. I’m very attentive and will treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I always want both pets and owners to feel comfortable. I’m home from college for the summer, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine and gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of routines and instructions and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, food, water, and care. I pay close attention to behavior and safety during walks, feedings, and visits, and I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet.
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and understand how to give them attention, comfort, and structure. I’m patient with shy or energetic pets and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have experience feeding, cleaning, playing, and sticking to routines, and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure owners feel updated and at ease. I work overnight shifts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I’m available for morning and early afternoon visits on those days. I work 8 AM–4 PM on weekends, but I’m available before or after my shifts for check ins. I have full availability on Wednesdays and can offer flexible scheduling that day. I always aim to stay consistent with your pets routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure every cat is cared for in a calm, safe, and clean environment.

I respect each cat’s boundaries and never force interaction, allowing them to feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe and stress free while you’re away.
“Trula did a great job taking care of my anxious fur baby. She took her on nice long walks, which is exactly what she needs when I am away for extended periods with my job. Trula posted photos and kept me updated each day on her activity and appetite. I would definitely like to use Trula again for my pet sitting needs.”
“We hired Kaitlyn for dog walking and daytime check in on our cat and chickens for 5 days. She was timely, responsible, and trustworthy. She came to the house as scheduled and took our dog for a long walk each day. She kept in touch with me well and was easy to reach. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on experience raising and training my own dog from puppyhood. As the owner of a large Shepherd-Husky mix, I'm comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I've also cared for and walked dogs for neighbors over the years, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide attentive care, walks, and companionship. As a dog parent, I'm already spending my days caring for an active, energetic pup and understand the importance of exercise, enrichment, and routine. I love getting outside for walks and exploring local trails and parks when the weather is nice, but I'm just as happy spending quality time indoors with plenty of cuddles. Whether your dog prefers adventure or a cozy movie day on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and needs. I treat every dog like they're part of the family! In my home, your pup will have access to a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. I share my home with my Shepherd-Husky mix, who loves making new friends and is always happy to have a buddy around. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, exploring all the exciting smells the outdoors has to offer, playing fetch, or curling up on the couch for a movie and some snuggles, I'm happy to match their vibe. I provide frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs with an extra-large crate if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I believe you know your dog best. I'll follow your routines, preferences, and instructions closely to help keep your pup comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: I am a stay at home student where I am working to become a certified dog trainer. Animals have been a passion of mine ever since I was little. I have had the pleasure of being the caregiver to birds, fish, Guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, cats and horses. I am currently the proud mom of a rescued mustang, two rescued pitbulls from high kill shelters and a rescued cat. I help assist with a puppy class at my local humane society and help walk dogs on their walk shifts. I am a red tag walker at the shelter which means I am capable of handling strong pullers, jumpy mouthy and reactive dogs. Also can help those who may just need a little more confidence. I am a positive trainer and dont believe you need to use choke or prong collars to enjoy a walk with your dog.
About: I don’t live in Aurora, but I split my time between Portland and Salem. If you live in the Portland area or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is there’s?? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”
“Super awesome nice family took excellent care of my German Shepherd for six days! Excellent communications and pictures during his stay. I will definitely use their services again.”
“It is incredible. Zack loves it when he gets to see his friend. Kinda sad he wants to leave so easily with her. lol. Fantastic host, love having her watch him. Thanks for your help.”
“Lyssette kept me updated with pictures and video my whole trip. We used her our first time using rover and she did a wonderful job and my dog was very happy when she got home. We used to take my dog to boarding places but after it made her super sick last time we decided to try out rover and I’m glad we did because it was a very good experience.”
“Jessica was prompt and eager from the beginning as we were looking for a last minute sitter. It was our first time leaving our rescued pup with someone and she was open for all questions and concerns we had. She went above and beyond our expectations by sending us daily photos and updates on how our dog was doing which helped tremendously for us to enjoy our vacation with an ease of mind. Our dog has had minimal interactions with other dogs due to covid and we were very worried about how he would react being around other dogs. But wow!!! He did amazing and we feel so proud of him with how well he socialized and overall did. Jessica invited us in and showed us where our dog would be playing and hanging and her huge fenced yard was amazing. He had so much fun I could tell and I feel he didn’t want to come back home ? Can’t thank Jessica enough for this first time experience! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Hannah was Amazing with our boy kitty Finnegan. He was happy and healthy and excited to be home after 8 days. She continued to give us updates almost daily, she was very good with communication, and seemed to Really love animals. I would recommend Hannah to watch anyone's pets and if I ever need a sitter I would not trust Anyone else. Thank you Hannah!”
“Liz was great! She was so kind and easy to work with, and you can tell she really loves dogs. She has three dogs of her own, so she's definitely experienced and knows how to handle different personalities. She kept me updated throughout my dogs's stay with photos and messages, which made me feel super comfortable while I was away. I could tell my dog was in good hands and was so thankful for the peace of mind. If you're looking for a sitter who's reliable, sweet and great with dogs, I'd definitely recommend Liz!”
“I’m so grateful I found Julie! I was nervous to leave my sweet girl with anyone since she has been struggling with some health issues. Julie was the best person I could’ve chosen. She was very understanding of my situation, of my dog’s health concerns and everything. She was very responsive and kind. My sweet girl had an amazing time with Julie and her family-she honestly didn’t seem to want to leave! She was happier and more energetic than I’ve seen her in a while. So grateful for Julie for offering her home and her care.”
“Amy and family took great care of Ahsoka! We received lots of pictures and videos while we were away, along with updates and comments about how great she was doing, which really helped our peace of mind.”
“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”
“Xanthia and her children took great care of my cat! She was there for a week and didn't want to leave. I got frequent updates and lots of pictures. Xanthia was flexible with pick up/ drop off times. I am very happy with the whole experience.”
“Siru and her husband were amazing hosts to our pup! We knew we were leaving our fur baby in good hands after our initial meet & greet. Seeing how attentive and professional she was regarding the boarding process sealed the deal. Clean and comfortable home, flexible pick up times when we had unplanned travel problems, and most importantly they loved our pup like their own! Thanks again, Siru!”
“We're very happy with the care Alex provided for our pup. Very communicative and provided updates while she was in his care. Will definitely use his services again.”

“Mitzi loved spending time with everyone. She loved playing with their pups and was happy upon my return. She got lotsa cuddles and they were flexible to her needs and habits.”
“Saawan and Kangna were the best!! Our corgi is a lot to handle sometimes, being a high energy breed, with his barking, and corgi habits. And they did such a great job with him. He came home happy and tired. We loved the regular updates they sent and were so happy to see pictures always popping up while we were on our trip. We loved their communications and flexibility when we had a 5 minute delay picking up. We will sure be adding Saawan and Kangna to the top of our list for sitters.”
“First time using Rover but Manisha completely blew us out of the water with her and her sweet families dedication to make our pup feel loved and at home. She did a great job at making sure all our requests were met and sent lots of updates on how our pup was doing throughout the week. We will be using Manisha again and would highly recommend!!”
