“I left Gretel with Jean for the second time and she had a great time. Jean is very capable and reliable. She always answers my texts and keeps me updated with photos if my girl. Gretel came home happily tired. I recommend Jean! ”
“Kristopher saved the day when our regular neighborhood dog sitter fell through. I had never used rover.com before, so I was shocked to even be able to find someone on such short notice. Less than a minute after I logged onto the website, Kristopher responded that yes, he was available. Talk about fast response time! Wow! He then sent beautiful, professional quality photos of our dog during the three day stay. He also made dropoff and pickup so easy. If we lived closer to his house, Kristopher would be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you for being so great, Kristopher!”
“Nadine took SUCH good care of my pups! They loved their time with her. The backyard is amazing… so much room to roam. And her pets got along so well with mine. Lots of communication and photos. It was so nice to know my babies were being loved on so much while I was away. I’d definitely recommend Nadine!!!!”
“Melodie made my Maltese poodle feel at home with snuggle time, cozy pillows, drives around town and special care for his meds and special food requirements. He also made friends with her cute little Yorkies. I had peace of mind leaving him because she sent me plenty of pics. I will be taking him again.”
“Left our medium sized dog with Hannah for 5 nights for a last minute trip. She was very prompt and consistent in communicating about procedures and how my dog was doing during her stay. Luanne came back exhausted (in a good way) from playing with the other dogs and slept all day the next day. Hannah made sure to introduce all the dogs one by one so they can get comfortable with each other. We will definitely book Hannah again if there is a need.”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“Nancy is so wonderful - a safe and loving temporary home for our very special little guy. We not only felt comfortable knowing Nancy was giving Teddy the best care, but also that they were probably both enjoying each others company while we were away. Teddy came home in one piece and was his same normal, happy self. Thank you so much for opening your home to Teddy, Nancy - we hope for more visits soon!”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Amanda and Jaime. Amanda was very communicative and friendly. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. It was clear my dog was very well cared for. They were also extremely helpful with accommodating a last minute request! I will certainly continue boarding with them in the future.”
“Samantha and Brian’s family watched our Wheaten Terrier for two weeks. They kept us updated with photos and we knew he was in good hands. Thanks for giving Charlie lots of snuggles while we were away.”
“Noemi & her family took awesome care of our dog, Pippa, while we took our quick trip to Seattle! The updates & pictures let us know she was in good hands & we now have peace of mind going when we go out of town again. Thank you, Noemi!”
“Liz and her family do such a great job with our dog while we're out of town. We are repeat customers and wouldn't have him stay with anyone else. Great communication and updates all throughout and he comes home tired and happy. Many thanks and we highly recommend her service!!”
“We are so grateful for Linda! She took such wonderful care of our dog, who has a spunky personality. Her daily updates were very thorough and gave us a great picture of his stay. Sometimes, it takes our dog a day or two to recover, but after his stay with Linda, he came home healthy, happy, and unstressed. It was his way of saying he had a wonderful time with Linda and can't wait to see her again.”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“Carolyn had our 14 year old Dixie for 2 weeks. Carolyn enjoyed our Rocky and Rocky really enjoyed Carolyn. Carolyn kept us informed on how he was doing while we were gone, and sent photos. Rocky was in good spirits when we returned to pick him up and he’s doing just fine at home. Carolyn gave Rocky a lot of attention and love, and we couldn’t be happier. We’re looking forward to having Carolyn sit Rocky again in the near future. Thank you Carolyn!”
“Nicole and Jamie took Rocco on lots of walks, sent us photos daily and were good communicators throughout our trip. Rocco came home happy and we would be glad to hire them again. Thank you!”

“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”
“Kaylee was amazing! She spent time with our kitties, played with them, fed them, and even gave them treats that her cat didn’t love. She was a clear communicator and reliable! We’d have her watch our cats any time!”
“Tiana is so sweet with our two high needs senior Kitties. She goes above and beyond to make sure that they get their medications and communicate anything that arises to us. Our kitties are pretty attached to us, but they seem so happy after spending time with Tiana! Very grateful for her.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.
“Shianne is great! She dropped in on our kitty a few times this past weekend and gave us little updates on how she was doing along with photos. Also brought a package in for us. Thank you Shianne!”
“ChristyLynn, did a great job! She always sent me updates and pictures with each visit. Felt relt really secure with her in taking care of my cats during visits. Totally recommend her with cat care.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Summer checking in and visiting my young and shy kitty Casper! She was always on time or early, and her communication was and is excellent. She sent updates with pictures and videos, and I had total peace of mind knowing Casper was in good hands while I was away. She is so wonderful, she brought little gifts and treats for Casper! I trust and recommend Summer, and I would definitely book her again in the future! 🫶🏼”
“Carolyn is very attentive to my pet and has done a great job with drop ins, especially since my pet was 2 days list op from being neutered and not feeling his best self. I appreciate how caring she is and attentive to his needs.”
“I would rebook with Kat. She took good care of our 3 kitties while we were away. She followed our overly complicated feeding instructions and sent pictures of them eating and a few of them hanging out. One of the weekend days she definitely fed them all breakfast closer to lunchtime, but I still felt like they were in good hands, and in her defense I had expressed some flexibility in their feeding time. She also went out of her way to set our cat camera back up after the cats knocked it over so we could continue spying on one of their favorite hangout spots. Cats were happy and healthy when I got back.”
“Rachel took care of my house and cat for two days. She followed all my instructions and sent several reassuring photos of the cat while I was away. The cat and I are entirely pleased with her services and I recommend her.”
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! ? Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality. Whether they’re outgoing and playful, shy and reserved, or happiest lounging in a sunny window, I believe every cat deserves patient, attentive care that respects their individual needs. Today, I share my home with three cats, so I understand the importance of maintaining routines and creating a calm, comfortable environment. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens to senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime and enrichment, brushing, administering basic care, and recognizing when a cat simply wants quiet companionship. I know that small changes in routine can be stressful for cats, so I do my best to make every visit feel familiar and reassuring. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family’s cats while they were away, adapting to different personalities, temperaments, and household routines. Whether your cat is social and eager for attention or prefers to observe from a distance, I’ll care for them at their own pace while following your instructions closely. My goal is simple: to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you the confidence that they’re in caring and dependable hands.

“Hannah and Blake are AMAZING! Ollie has been going there for daycare since he was a brand new puppy and he absolutely loves it. I always feel like he is well cared for in their hands and he gets so excited to see them when he’s dropped off. They have also helped me NUMEROUS times when i’ve needed some last minute care and don’t hesitate to go the extra mile.”
“Kris is always knowledgeable flexible and personable. He has a great love for dogs and it shows his daughter and he even play piano for the dogs..My babies are always well taken care of and I have no worries that they are always in good hands. Thank you Kris! Youre the best”
“Maggie was thoughtful and patient with Stella. She let Stella warm up to her in her own time and let her be independent. We appreciate the care and understanding Maggie had of Stella. We’ll be back.”
“Cassie was awesome with our doggo ? he had so much fun and we were so happy that she sent us regular updates and sweet pictures of him throughout his stay. Otto can’t wait to visit with her again! ?”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had an event and we connected with Melodie because of her location nearby. Melodie was very quick to respond and suggested a meet and greet prior to the day of the sitting.our little dog met her sweetie and seemed to get along right off the bat. Melody prefers small dogs, which is great for us. She has a nice set up and is very caring and we will use her again!”

“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”
“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”
“This is My First experience with Rover and I am so happy I choose Nicole and Colten! They took great care of my 4 month old dachshund puppy. He came home happy and fed and sleepy everyday! I am very impressed. He is even excited when he sees them. Highly recommend☺️”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Tommy was a great sitter for our puppy pitbull, Mamba! He made sure the environment was right for a puppy, and took extra measures to ensure she had a great first day care experience. He lives and breathes the dog caretaker life, so if you want someone who will pay attention to your dog’s needs and truly care for them, Tommy is your guy!”
“This was our 1st time leaving our 2 dogs with Roxie. A great experience. The dogs had a great time. Lots of photos through out the day, which we appreciated. Highly recommended. Excellent care.”
“Cathy was absolutely wonderful not only did she take Sheldon into her home he felt it home, but she has a nice patio and she took him out for a walk all for a four hour visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s a very loving, kind and compassionate individual to get five stars, but I’d give her six if there were six stars available. Thank you, Cathy”
“Jaimo (Jennifer) was awesome! After Daisy first day of daycare, Daisy was so excited to jump in the car in the morning knowing she'll be spending another day with Jaimo & co. It was like her second home. Once Jaimo's door was open, Daisy ran in without looking back. Jaimo took great care of Daisy, gave her meds as instructed, and always updated us throughout the day. We will definitely book Jaimo again. :) Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m Alicia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I know that trusting someone with your pet isn’t just about finding a sitter—it’s about finding someone who will care for them like family. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply curling up for snuggles, I’m happy to provide the care and attention that helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My experience goes beyond just dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, and other small animals, so I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and personalities. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. As a pet owner myself, I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure every animal gets the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so daily walks and active play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise or simply a calm, loving companion, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and provide the care they’re used to. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I know every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I’ll always treat your home with the same respect I would my own and strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing in the yard, or relaxing at home, you can trust that your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own animals.
About: My husband and I have taken care of animals of all sizes and ages. Each pet has its unique lovable qualities. We wish we could have more full time but are doing this instead! We work from home so we will always be home with your pet! Our dog Lilo and cat Jack will also keep your pets company. We have a fully fenced front and back yard. We have an easygoing 3 year old dog who is eager to make friends and a cat that enjoys playing with other pets (on his terms)
“Amy, Eric, and Finley made our girl Riley feel like part of the family! She got a great long walk and then got to relax and snuggle for the rest of the evening. They paid close attention to her and accommodated her personality, quirks, and even a few nervous farts 😅 We really appreciate it!”

“Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.”
“Hire Frank! They are awesome. Kind and responsible. I felt very safe with having them walk my malamute who is sweet but can be a handful sometimes. Definitely recommend.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 16. Cats since I was 20. I have also owned various other animals, including livestock. My schooling helped me learn general animal care and I have had the same dog trainer for 20 years. Our pets have regular vet care. I pet sit for friends and family often, both at their homes and in our own home. Just informational, I do live with males, including teens, who have attended dog training classes and help when I need to step out if the house. I also have a very large yard for lots of running and exercise. I work fill time, but remote. I can choose to be from home or in office so am available to watch pets at home all day, when needed. We have a large fully fenced yard. We do have chickens, but they are gated in their own area. I have a pet gate to keep dogs from going downstairs unattended and a door as backup. I provide a pet water fountain for constant fresh and flowing hydration. Pets get regular treats and training refreshers to keep their minds sharp and engaged. My house is inundated with both cat and dog toys for constant entertainment.
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs in the house, even one gerbil! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals since the age of 12, and I have experience administering medication and feel comfortable with any extra care your pet may require. I am a freelancer and my last contract ended recently. I am appreciating this downtime, which means I have an open schedule to provide care throughout the day for your pets. I would like to meet your pet in their own environment to keep continuity, and am happy to set up a check-in schedule with you for updates about your pet’s day and routine, including pictures if requested.
“Stephanie was fantastic. She went above and beyond. She took great care of my dogs. And she did the full walks in the rainstorms. I would definitely recommend and hire her again.”
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”
“Julie has walked our doodle a couple times now and we are in love! We appreciate the updates she gives and the photos of our dog after every walk, would absolutely recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I have a medically complex cat, so I’m very experienced with giving pills and administering medications. As a pet owner myself, I understand how stressful it can feel to be away from your pet. My goal is to care for your animal with the same attention and genuine care I give my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m currently a medical student at Oregon Health & Science University completing a dedicated research year, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout much of the week. Taking dogs on walks or spending time with animals has become one of my favorite ways to step away from studying, get outside, and recharge, so I’d love for your pet to join me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I'm walking your dog or caring for your pet in your home, I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, playtime, and a positive experience. I always keep cats indoors and dogs leashed unless instructed otherwise in a secure, designated area. I also provide owners with regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Nadine was super responsive and flexible when I needed last minute help with walking my dog. Nadine was great at communicating before and during the walk if there were any questions and being patient with my stubborn boy. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I'm Nate, and if you've got a dog who needs a walk, a cat who needs a buddy, or a pup who just wants a solid hang — you've found the right human. I didn't just grow up around animals — I grew up with them. We're talking dogs, cats, birds, and full-on farm animals. At any given point in my childhood, our place was basically a petting zoo with a roof. I've hand-fed, cleaned up after, played with, and genuinely loved more species than most people have on their bucket list. These days I'm a proud dog owner myself, and I've also fostered for multiple rescues and organizations — including the Puerto Rico Dog Fund and Many Miles from Home Animal Shelter — so I know firsthand what it means to trust someone with your fur baby. What does all of that experience mean for your pup? It means I'm calm in chaos, patient with personalities, and I actually enjoy watching animals just... be themselves. Whether your dog is a zoomies-at-6am type or a "I will sniff this one blade of grass for 45 seconds" type — I'm here for all of it. My goal is simple: to be the person your dog loses their mind over when they hear my car pull up. Walks, hangouts, check-ins — whatever your pet needs, I bring the energy, the patience, and the genuine love of animals to back it up. Your furry friend won't just be in good hands. They'll be having the time of their life. 🐕 I work from home, so your pet gets real quality time — not just a quick pop-in between meetings! I'm also an early riser, so mornings mean walks, fresh air, and getting those zoomies out before most people even hit snooze. Whether I'm at your place or mine, I follow your rules — feeding schedules, routines, preferred spots on the couch, all of it. You know your pet best and I'm here to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. If your pet stays with me, they'll have a fully fenced backyard to roam and my 4-year-old smaller German Shepherd to show them the ropes — she's basically the ultimate icebreaker.
“Hannah is fantastic. Low-key loves and her loves her. Excuse me one thing though Loki is an English cream golden retriever. I’m not sure whether it was pilot error on my part when I put in what type of doggie is or not, but if it can be changed. It should be changed to an English cream, golden retriever”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! My mother was a dog breeder, meaning I have experience with puppies! I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a dog in the house growing up, wasn’t till recently that I haven’t had a pet in the home. I’m a single mom to an animal loving 3 year old, who would be my little helper. I currently work in the medical field meaning I’m comfortable administering all kind of medications, whether that be topical, oral, or injectable medications. I have done pet sitting in the past, I have taken care of many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, horses, livestock, you name it I’ve probably taken care of it! I currently work full time, but I am home on evening and weekends, so I’m home starting Friday night to Sunday night to take your pup out as often as possible. During the week I am gone typically 12-14 hours a day, but if your pup is use to that I can make it work to let them out in the morning and then rush back to let them out once I’m home. I live in a duplex with a small fence in area that I can do quick potty breaks and then live close to walking trails for longer outside times. I have a 3 year old daughter who loves to play with animals. I also love close to parks that I can take dogs to if owner is comfortable with me transporting them. I also live close to my sister who has an active dog who loves friends to play with so that is an option if you have a high energy dog that likes friends.
About: As a college athlete, I’m active, responsible, and used to sticking to a routine. I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love giving pets attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m patient with nervous or shy pets and happy to match each animal’s energy level, whether that means a long walk, playtime, or a cozy day at home. I am comfortable handlings dogs of any size. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! Pet care is already a regular part of my everyday life. I take care of my cat daily and help keep our 2 family dogs happy, active, and well exercised. I’m used to being attentive to their needs, keeping up with their routines, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so adding pet care to my daily routine feels very natural to me. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable environment, follow their normal routines, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure doors, gates, and other entrances are secure. I also keep pet areas clean and communicate with owners if anything seems unusual. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while you’re away.
“This is the second time Mara has helped me out with taking my pup on a walk while I’m at work. She is so great with my girl and sends the cutest pics and videos of their adventures. It’s wonderful having peace of mind that your furry child is well taken care of while you’re gone! She’s the best!”
About: I offer more than just pet sitting—I provide loving, attentive care that ensures your pets feel safe, comfortable, and nurtured while you're away. With hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I tailor my approach to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it's gentle senior care, administering medications, or helping puppies through basic training and housebreaking, I bring patience, consistency, and affection to every interaction. I treat every pet like family, keeping their routines, comfort, and happiness at the heart of what I do. You can count on me to keep you updated and your pet well-loved until you return. As a college student returning home for summer, pet care will be part of my daily routine through feeding, walking, grooming, and spending quality time with your pet(s). Caring for your pets in your home is a responsibility I take seriously. I tailor my approach depending on the type of service you book, always prioritizing safety, comfort, and trust. Every pet is unique, so I customize my care to meet their needs and your preferences. My goal is for you to feel confident—and for your pet to feel happy and safe—every time I visit.
“We've been using Christine for semi-regular walks for our very nervous-yet-twerpy lab for the last few weeks, and have been absolutely thrilled to have her! Her communication is fast, thorough and reassuring, she's been super patient with our girl getting to know her, and it seems like they've been having some fun saunters through the neighborhood. Thanks so much Christine!!”
“Thank you for taking care of our dogs! We have been looking for someone we can rely on in the coming weeks to help walk our dogs and feel so thankful to have found that someone in you!”

“I left Gretel with Jean for the second time and she had a great time. Jean is very capable and reliable. She always answers my texts and keeps me updated with photos if my girl. Gretel came home happily tired. I recommend Jean! ”
“Kristopher saved the day when our regular neighborhood dog sitter fell through. I had never used rover.com before, so I was shocked to even be able to find someone on such short notice. Less than a minute after I logged onto the website, Kristopher responded that yes, he was available. Talk about fast response time! Wow! He then sent beautiful, professional quality photos of our dog during the three day stay. He also made dropoff and pickup so easy. If we lived closer to his house, Kristopher would be our go-to dog sitter. Thank you for being so great, Kristopher!”
“Left our medium sized dog with Hannah for 5 nights for a last minute trip. She was very prompt and consistent in communicating about procedures and how my dog was doing during her stay. Luanne came back exhausted (in a good way) from playing with the other dogs and slept all day the next day. Hannah made sure to introduce all the dogs one by one so they can get comfortable with each other. We will definitely book Hannah again if there is a need.”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“Perla had a great time with lots of play! Elizabeth has a nice big home with lots of room to run around both inside and out. Her dog Lilo and Perla got along really well. We'll definitely be a repeat customer.”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog with Amanda and Jaime. Amanda was very communicative and friendly. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. It was clear my dog was very well cared for. They were also extremely helpful with accommodating a last minute request! I will certainly continue boarding with them in the future.”
“Liz and her family do such a great job with our dog while we're out of town. We are repeat customers and wouldn't have him stay with anyone else. Great communication and updates all throughout and he comes home tired and happy. Many thanks and we highly recommend her service!!”
“Veronica was very attentive and sent pics, Bogey seemed to be having a blast! She has an excellent setup at her house and is a trustworthy and caring person. Thank you Veronica for the TLC you gave Bogey while I was out of town backpacking! Much appreciated!!”
“Carolyn had our 14 year old Dixie for 2 weeks. Carolyn enjoyed our Rocky and Rocky really enjoyed Carolyn. Carolyn kept us informed on how he was doing while we were gone, and sent photos. Rocky was in good spirits when we returned to pick him up and he’s doing just fine at home. Carolyn gave Rocky a lot of attention and love, and we couldn’t be happier. We’re looking forward to having Carolyn sit Rocky again in the near future. Thank you Carolyn!”
About: I’m the designated person my family asks to watch their pups. I’ve take classes with my own pup for reactivity on walks if that’s a concern of yours. I have Saturdays and Sundays off. I work Monday-Fridays and work from home most days, but would definitely stay home if boarding your pup. If I leave the house I would only be gone for 2 hours max. I just let my pup roam around the house when I’m gone but let me know if would like me to crate them and I would put my pup in my room. Fully fenced backyard. Dogs are allowed on the couch and my bed if they are most comfortable there. Have lots of treats and toys for your pup to enjoy.
“My dog was very happy with Nicole and Colton family! Kids, dogs, cats , chickens and bunnies.. Lambo believe there is wonderland ! They are cool people , thank you for your flexibility and taking care of my boy See you soon!”
“Mara has always gone the extra mile to take care of our pups. When our dog became ill while in her care, she took great care of him until we could return home. She has a wonderful heart and experience with dogs!”
“Bonnie was wonderful. Out dog has had little socialization and Bonnie worked with her to make her as comfortable as possible. It took extra work to keep her. It meant so much to us because we were without power.”
“Jessica took such great care of PB while we were away! I can tell she kept him busy and active by how sleepy he’s been since coming home. He’s one happy guy, and it’s clear he had a great time with her!”
“Kristopher and his family were terrific. I had a last minute cancellation and he was so accommodating. I was stressed but they were so reassuring and helpful. He was great at communicating, even though it was a short stay he knew I need reassurance and was so great to send lots of pictures. In the future he will my number 1 choice for all my dog sitting needs. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Dominique and her husband were absolutely amazing with our Roly! I would give them many more stars if possible. They were so responsive in communicating with us, sending texts, pictures and videos so that we knew Roly was having a great time. They were very sweet with Roly, taking him on walks, playing with him and giving him lots of love! We could tell that Roly felt right at home! Dominique and her husband really love dogs! We will be using them again for sure! We highly recommend them-- she and her husband will pamper your pup!!! Thank you so much! We are so grateful for you taking such good care of Roly!”
“Bonnie was a wonderful host for my anxiety-prone doggo. She went out her way to make sure Rosie was comfortable and even provided services I didn't ask for, like chopping up extra fruit and veggies when the stuff I supplied ran out. Would highly recommend and would hope to be able to use her services again!”
“Catherine is communicative, caring, and SUCH a dog person. She has dogs of her own plus a backyard. She understands each dog has their own behavior and personalities and does her best to make sure they’re comfortable throughout their stay. Also, she’s just rad! 10 out of 10 will book with Catherine again. Thank you for making Charlie feel like he was at home!”
