“Ashley & Jerrell were exceptionally kind & thoughtful, going the extra mile to help us board our dog on short notice during an emergency. Great communication throughout shifting circumstances and they were also very patient with my elderly mother. The only downside was that our dog was crated from 6:30am to 3:30pm while they were at work, but not unexpected.”
“Krista and her family were awesome as always with boarding Indie for a short work trip! Krista has a clean home with a large backyard and 2 super friendly dogs. I am a repeat customer and would highly recommend her boarding services! She is very communicative and was flexible with my drop off and pick up times when my flight got delayed and I needed Indie to stay a few hours longer.”
“This was our first time using Rover service ever. So still very new to the experience. It seems like everything went well and we are glad Jenny took good care of our dog 🐶”
“Lauren and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mercury! She had a fantastic time staying in their beautiful home. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. The picture of her smiling made my day! Highly recommend!”
“Keisha was very kind and loving towards CJ. Her kids loved CJ and was very attentive towards him. She kept him on his diet and he has no stomach issues. Thank you Keisha for being so kind and loving.”
“Lisa was the best! This is the first time I didn’t take my Lucy with me. I was hesitant since she has some issues. Lucy loved Lisa and I couldn’t be happier! Lisa provided a loving home for her. I’m so happy I found her. Will definitely contact her in the future ! Lisa’s dog didn’t want to see Lucy leave, they were buddies! Lisa kept in contact and sent pictures , that was so nice! I was searching for kennels when the Rover app popped up. So glad I checked it out ! With Lucy’s issues , a kennel would have traumatized her. Thank you again Lisa, I’ve made a new friend!”
“I don’t think I could give this an honest review because it’s only a five star review and my experience with 10 star! My boxer is two years old and has spent his entire life by my side since he was six weeks old, I had to go away for a vacation and worried about him not acclimating to a new environment. None of my fears came true, he was very well taken care of, and I would strongly recommend using Brionna! I never went anywhere for long but now I can rest assure that I have a fantastic pet sitter….. more trips may be planned in the future”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I will have plenty of time to care for your pup. I am available for boarding, pet sitting, walks, daily check-ins, and lots of cuddles and playtime. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups your furbaby will be more than happy to play with for hours at a time.
“Second time booking with Sarah. First time she came to pick to him up and drop him off which was so helpful since I was gone at crazy early/late hours. As always, communication and pictures were wonderful. Thank you Sarah.”
“Lauren (and her husband Doug) were absolutely fantastic Rover sitters for my senior dog, Watson. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in caring and capable hands. They were attentive to his special needs and made sure he felt comfortable and loved during his stay. They kept me updated with regular messages and photos and it was clear that they genuinely cared for Watson's well-being. They went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and content! I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their fur babies!!”
“I am a repeat customer with bookings already planned with Holly. She is excellent and I would not trust Barkley with anyone else. You can't go wrong booking with her. Thank you again!”
“Hannah was awesome! Even tho our request was last minute, she was very professional and responsive. She took care of Khai like a 5 star hotel would. We definitely recommend Hannah and will be rebooking. Thank you!!”
“Cassidy and Cody are always great with Stella, and she loves being able to play with their girls and dogs. We always get her back worn out and happy! Would book again!”
“Oliver was so loved by Svitlana and her family. I had regular updates and photos, and my dog seemed so comfortable and happy while there. Svitlana was very communicative, and I highly recommend her. We will be repeat customers for sure.”
“Alexis did an amazing job watching Gunner and Luna! She kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. The dogs clearly had a great time and were happy and well cared for when we got back. We truly appreciate her attention and communication, and we look forward to working with Alexis again!”
“Cynthia and her Husband Lance were welcoming and willing to help us out last minute. They took really good care of of dog and made him feel like home. Would 100% recommend them! Thank you again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!”

“Jessica is great with our cats! She has worked to gain the trust of our shy boy while also giving lots of love to our friendly girl. Best of all, when we come home the cats are calm and happy to see us, never starved for affection. Plus she send great photos of them and notes about what each one is up to with every visit. Knowing Jessica will be there makes it easier to be away from our furry family.”
“Christy is wonderful! She put extra effort into helping our very shy cat learn to socialize more and took wonderful care of her! Highly recommend! Thanks, Christy! Fluff looks forward to seeing you again.”
“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
About: I've always had animals in my home. I've had lots of cats, dogs, horses, birds, fish, lizards, anything you can think of! I've raised and trained lots of puppies and kittens. I spend every waking moment with a pet if I can I'm a full time student taking online classes, so I have lots of free time. There's a few early mornings a week where I babysit as well Currently I am taking care of pets in client homes, as I live on campus. I like to bring my own things if a client doesn't have them, like toys, treats, pads, etc
“Natalie was so kind and attentive to my 4 cats. She took detailed notes on their feeding habits and quirks, and sent photos to me each day. She is a lovely person who I will happily book again!”
About: From pet-sitting duties and caring for my own animals, I have extensive experience caring for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes, ensuring proper dosage and handling for each. I'm a proud graduate of Bloomsburg University with a bachelor's degree in early childhood education. I also enjoy working part-time in the restaurant industry. My schedule is quite flexible as long as I have some prior notice! I'm happy to work with clients to find times that suit us both well. I'll make sure to follow all of your instructions carefully to keep your little buddy happy! Do you have any specific wishes for them? Just let me know! I welcome them on my bed and couch unless you'd prefer otherwise. I always keep the water bowl full and ensure pets are happy and healthy. If you'd like, I can even give them a bath—just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! If you choose me, I promise to go above and beyond to take great care of your furry friend!
About: I am a known cat lover and have been my whole life. My family has owned 4 cats in my lifetime, and I have deeply bonded with all of them. I helped care for my childhood cats by feeding them, brushing them, taking them to appointments, playing with them, and cuddling with them. In 2021, I adopted my first cat that wasn't a family cat, Olaf. I absolutely adore him, and he is so special. In addition to typical care, Olaf also requires teeth cleaning every other day. If your cat has similar needs, I am comfortable cleaning teeth. Olaf is a tricky cat to play with -- he is very specific. If your cat is the same, you can rely on me to try to learn your cat's preferences and how they prefer to play. I understand that cats are unique in their preferences and boundaries, and I respect that. I want to provide each cat with the best care possible to ensure that they feel safe, happy, and stimulated in my care.
“Chloe did a great job with our ducks! They were happy and healthy when we got back. She went above and beyond when it ended up being colder than expected. I appreciate all the pictures she sent and the care that she gave them. We would book with her again!”
“Murray was the best sitter we’ve could’ve asked for while we were away. He communicate daily and included photos and information about our fur babies. In fact, our shih-poos are two that don’t warm up to people immediately, but it was literally no time at all before Murray was treated like he was one of the family. He definitely has a way with establishing trust, nurture and genuine care shared in every visit.”
About: Ever since I was a kid I have had cats in my home and at times I had up to 5 cats. All of the cats I have ever owned were initially feral either as adults or kittens and I raised them. All of the cats I have ever owned have lived over 13 years of age so I have been able to provide a safe, happy and loving home to them. Senior cats come with a lot of responsibility and as a pet parent, I understand how important it is to care for them especially as their needs become more complex. I have experience with administering medications both orally and injectable and giving IV fluids.
About: I have a genuine love for animals! Growing up, I planned to get into the veterinary field. This didn’t pan out, but I interned at a local vet hospital and was a small animal science major my first year of college. I grew up around cats and dogs and always have treated them like they’re part of the family. I usually enjoy being around animals more than most people 😅. I work from home most days (about 75% of the time) and can be available to spend a great amount of time with your pet! I look for guidance from the owner on their expectations surrounding their pets and like to hold to the routines as much as possible to ensure the best care is provided.
About: My extensive training and experience in the veterinary world make me very in tune with feline behaviors. I am comfortable administering both oral medications and injections as well. I have cared for a variety of feline patients with varying disease processes such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, asthma kidney failure, just to name a few.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of cats! I took care of animals professionally with a company I worked with in Maryland that included taking care of many different breeds and ages of cats. I have experience administering medication as well!

“Paul was fantastic! Five stars isn't enough. He was extremely prompt, kind, and thorough with his communication from our initial request through pick-up. He took incredible care of our two boys and treated them like family. They were safe and comfortable. We received regular text and photo updates throughout their stay, and it was wonderful to see how much fun they were having. They even came home with a goodie bag of treats! His compassion and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. We can't speak highly enough of Paul and are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. We'll definitely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”
“Jenny is amazing. Made me feel at ease from the first meet through the first week of daycare. She is flexible and helped me with all the transitions of a new sitter while starting a new job. Dog daycare was the least of my worries thanks to Jenny. Jaxx got everything he needed while I worked. Definitely recommend Jenny.”
“Katiuska did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. She maintained fantastic communication and updates on how our puppy was doing throughout the day. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone, especially if you have a dog that suffers from anxiety, Katiuska took amazing care of him.🥰🥰🥰”
About: I was raised as a child with pets - fish, cats and of course dogs. Growing up we had 2 Irish Setters a Chihuahua and multiple cats. As an adult I started off with just having multiple cats and then began to have dogs enter my life again. I had a very loving Pit Bull for a short period of time and a few years later I adopted a Boston Terrier who is now 13 years old. In addition to my senior dog, I now also have a 1 ½ year old Boston and 1 senior cat. I never had children so these are my kids and my extended family. I do everything I can to ensure they have a loving home and are well cared for and I will do the same for your four-legged kids :) With a lot of patience I have been able to do a few simple commands with my dogs. I have experience with potty training a puppy and also have extensive experience with senior dogs as my senior is currently half blind, has incontinence issues (at times) and has trouble walking. I currently can be home during the day and am usually home in the evenings and on weekends. When I know im pet sitting i stay home so my focus is on your pet. I spend a lot of time playing, walking and giving love to my pets. I will do the same for yours. I have a large unfenced yard but also have a dog park nearby that i utilize. My pets are on a regualr feeding schedule and I will adhere to any directions or special needs you may have,
About: They call me the female dog whisperer. I've always had a passion for animals and I love dogs & all the different breeds & personalities !

I'm experienced with giving oral medications to dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. I do have a Boston Terrier named Bandit who is a little guy about 20 lb but he thinks he's a big dog but he wouldn't hurt a fly! Lol. Any ? S please feel free to ask? I'm home 24/7 at this time in my life, unless I have a Dr Apt. Even if I do have a doctor's appointment, they don't take all day by any means.

“Krista has dropped in and taken care of our dog and also our dog has done doggy daycare with her- both were great experiences! Krista is dependable and sent frequent check ups. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Chelsea and her family are awesome. They treat your furbaby as theirs and gives them lots of cuddles and exercise. We had a very busy and hectic schedule during our visit with family up in the York/Hanover area, Chelsea worked with us each day on our drop off and pick up times which allowed us to spend time with our grandkids without being rushed or stressed about our furbaby Rascal. We were updated with text and pictures from Chelsea each day she had Rascal. One of our concerns was Rascal doesn't like being crated and Chelsea let us up front she doesn't crate dogs. She allows them to be on her furniture and has dog beds for them to lay on as well. She takes them out for walks and potty breaks and Rascal seems extremely happy when he was with Chelsea and her family. If we lived in the area we would use Chelsea again and again. We are very grateful to have found Chelsea for our furbaby Rascal, she was so good to him. We highly recommend you choosing Chelsea to watch your furbaby.”
About: My husband and I just moved to York and I am in between jobs, looking for some extra money and love! My family dog, Kasper, passed away about two years ago and was central family member for about 17 years. He was one of the best things to happen to our family and he taught me how passionate I am about animals/dogs. Being an elderly dog, he went through many medical challenges so I am very familiar with special diets, medicines, routines, and extra special care. I go above-and-beyond to make sure the dogs I care for feel loved and safe. I have also watched the dogs of family members and friends and have volunteered to walk dogs at the local facility, Doggie Style. I have experience with dogs weighing anywhere from 13 lbs to 85 lbs. I know life can be busy so I'd love to make your dogs feel safe and loved when you can't be home! Also love to get a walk in during the day! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is wide open to dog sit!! I love the extra company while I’m at home and I also love getting out of the house for visits! I’m happy to come to you or to host doggy daycare at my townhouse! We have 4 rooms, a backyard, and a nice neighborhood to walk in with a dog park.
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, and have owned multiple rescue dogs since I was 22 years old. I often assist my neighbors and family with their pets. My dogs are 100% my top priority! I have 2 small dogs who I currently take out every 2-3 hours. I am a dedicated dog momma that prioritizes them, making pet care a daily routine. I adjust to the temperament of the dog. It's important to make them feel comfortable in the home at all times. I let my dogs graze, with food and water available to them at all times. But this can be adjusted to your pups needs. We also walk daily (at least once a day), and treats are provided after successful potties outside. I also provide a variety of toys, blankets, and beds for my dogs.

“Beauty and her pack are wonderful! I can’t recommend Beauty enough to any pet owner! Our dog Freya had an amazing time and Beauty was very flexible when our plan changed to a later pick up time. She even offered to let Freya stay the night if that worked better for us. I can’t thank Beauty and the pack enough for giving us peace of mind when we can’t be with Freya!”

“Stephanie is very flexible and detailed, she is also very down to earth & easy to chat about my pets needs and such. She took great care of the dog and even good with my guinea pigs. I recommend and will be rebooking.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’ve also had my own dog for 6 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. I work Monday through Thursday, which makes me fully available on weekends for pet care. I can provide walks and drop-in visits on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with flexible timing. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the weekend so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I closely follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by the owner to ensure consistency and comfort. I supervise pets at all times during visits and outdoor time, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being.
About: Since I was a kid, I've always had cats and dogs. I also grew up caring for horses, goats, and barn cats in exchange for horseback lessons. Currently, I have a cat and a senior dog whom I love with all my heart. I promise to treat your animals with the same diligence, attentiveness, and care. I am extremely reliable and follow directions thoroughly. I am physically fit and able to walk dogs for long distances with ease. I can also jog with dogs or play fetch with them if you'd like more exercise for your pet. Balance is important in life -- I am happy to help you out! I look forward to giving your pets the best care imaginable. I have nearly full availability for pet sitting for the next few months. I am available weekdays and most weekends, with some exceptions. I can take on long-term house sitting if needed, up to 1 week. I am able-bodied and able to walk or sometimes jog with dogs. If your dog prefers catch or tug-of-war, I am happy to play with them. Exercise is important for cats, too. My own cat is silly and only likes to play in very specific ways, but still, I try my best to play with him and provide the enrichment he deserves. I will try my best to get to know your animal and learn how they like to play. I am also willing to brush animals, crate them, and provide medicine. I am very respectful upon entering homes -- I always take off my shoes to ensure cleanliness. If I am staying overnight, I promise to treat your home with respect and boundaries.
About: I've been providing house sitting and pet care for the past three years, caring for both dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind when they're away. During that time, I've looked after pets of all ages, including senior animals and pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining their routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home, and I treat every home and every animal with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I make time each day to provide attention, play, feeding, and care to ensure pets feel comfortable and happy. I am able to work pet care into my schedule by prioritizing consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time and attention they deserve. I provide pet care with a focus on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I have a cat of my own who I spend plenty of time playing with and caring for, while making sure his needs are always met. I keep my home clean, organized, and free of hazards, with anything potentially unsafe kept out of reach. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect their space and belongings, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“If you missed my 6 star review, after Natalie’s last visit with the pups I would raise it to seven stars! We made a very last minute change to our itinerary and she was able to accommodate us. As always she takes great care of our pups and leaves the house immaculate. Lots of communication, check ins and pictures. It is wonderful to have found someone who is so responsible. I almost hate to have to share her. You can’t go wrong having her take of your pets!”
About: I've personally worked with a professional dog trainer, a doggy day care, and a pet store, so I have various knowledge when it comes to how to interact, play, treat, walk, watch, and love your dogs. I also have personal experience with seniors, puppies, special needs and x-large large dogs. I also have much understanding and experience with cats and kittens as well I'm currently Part-Time, which means I will have more time to watch over and love on your babies. Weekends and holidays are no problem either. I believe (and have experienced it with my own pets) that pets are more comfortable in their own home, and that's why I offer to come and house/pet sit in the safe haven that is your house. Your pet will get treated, and spoiled, as if they were my own
“Elise was amazing! She helped with daily drop in visits for about 5 weeks, and was awesome the entire time. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and Bia loved her! Elise was super communicative and took so many pictures for every visit. I definitely recommend Elise for any doggie needs, and will definitely request her again if ever in the area! :)”

About: Comfortable working with any species, breed, or age group. My 14+ years in the veterinary field have given me a lot of knowledge to be the best pet care provider I can be. I work remotely. Mainly available after 9 am, over my lunch break, and after 5 pm. This will work well for morning/evening walks and a potty break over lunch. If you have wifi, I can spend more quality time with your 4 legged family members throughout the day. I have our downstairs area where my office is located gated off and I can crate your pet if necessary. My dog used to sleep in my office while I worked all day.
About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.
About: Lover of all pets, especially big dogs! I have never known a home without a dog. Bully breeds and rescues have a special place in my heart. We currently have one lovable special old pitty at home. I am very comfortable with administering medicine, assisting with lifting the pet up, or in to a couch/bed. I will walk as slow or fast as they want. I personally miss having a pet that I can walk with ( our old guys isn’t up for that this days) and would love to take yours on a walk! I work remotely several days a week and have availability on most weekends and evenings. I work remotely several days per week and can often sneak out for afternoon walks. I am available on some evenings, in between kid activities as well as weekends. I would treat any pet like they are my own. Nice walk at their desired pace, talk to them, refresh water and give a treat. Whatever they need!
About: Having grown up around dogs and cats, I'm comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calmer environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while you're away. I work part time during the week, so I have a lot of time to care for pets, do check in’s, feed, and give extra cuddles! I live in a walkable neighborhood and a backyard with lots of space for your pet to roam around. I also live in a clean, spacious house.
About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, and have owned multiple rescue dogs since I was 22 years old. I often assist my neighbors and family with their pets. My dogs are 100% my top priority! I have 2 small dogs who I currently take out every 2-3 hours. I am a dedicated dog momma that prioritizes them, making pet care a daily routine. I adjust to the temperament of the dog.

About: Dogs are my passion. I've always had dogs in my house growing up. From taking care of neighbors, to past teachers, friends and widespread family, people know they can trust me with their furry friends. In 2019 I started professionally walking dogs, and explored pet sitting. I worked with a variety of different animals, from day to day, and over night! I have experience feeding (Free and timed), giving oral/topical medication, bathing/brushing, walking, and lastly giving LOTS of love and affection to your perfect pup! Dogs always come first in my line of work! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for outside of my full-time work schedule. I work during the weekdays, but I have open availability all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and boarding needs. My weekends allow me to dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care, providing plenty of playtime, companionship, exercise, and personalized care. I have over 5 years of experience in pet sitting and boarding, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I strive to make their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe pets do best when they can stay in a familiar environment with the routines, care, and attention they are used to. I provide detailed updates after every visit or walk, including information about their behavior, activities, meals, bathroom breaks, and anything important I notice. I take pride in caring for each pet down to the smallest detail, whether that means following specific instructions, maintaining their schedule, administering medications when needed, or simply giving them the extra love and attention they deserve. My goal is always for both pets and owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they are apart.
About: I have 3 fur babies of my own and they are my kids! Pets are what I believe make the world go ‘round. They are always excited to see you after a long day and no matter if they got into the trash or chewed up a shoe you cannot help but love them. I have always treated everyone’s pets like my own. When I visit the first thing I do is go pet the dogs/cats! I am a huge animal lover as well as my significant other. I am currently available days, evenings and weekends and would like to go full time with pet sitting or walking. I will be having a baby so for now I am looking for part-time or vacation sitting/walking. The care I provide to each dog/cat will be based off of the needs of the dog/cat. I have experience in giving medicines as well. I will be willing to take care of your pet just as you would if you were home.

“Ashley & Jerrell were exceptionally kind & thoughtful, going the extra mile to help us board our dog on short notice during an emergency. Great communication throughout shifting circumstances and they were also very patient with my elderly mother. The only downside was that our dog was crated from 6:30am to 3:30pm while they were at work, but not unexpected.”
“Krista and her family were awesome as always with boarding Indie for a short work trip! Krista has a clean home with a large backyard and 2 super friendly dogs. I am a repeat customer and would highly recommend her boarding services! She is very communicative and was flexible with my drop off and pick up times when my flight got delayed and I needed Indie to stay a few hours longer.”
“This was our first time using Rover service ever. So still very new to the experience. It seems like everything went well and we are glad Jenny took good care of our dog 🐶”
“Lauren and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mercury! She had a fantastic time staying in their beautiful home. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. The picture of her smiling made my day! Highly recommend!”
“Keisha was very kind and loving towards CJ. Her kids loved CJ and was very attentive towards him. She kept him on his diet and he has no stomach issues. Thank you Keisha for being so kind and loving.”
“Lisa was the best! This is the first time I didn’t take my Lucy with me. I was hesitant since she has some issues. Lucy loved Lisa and I couldn’t be happier! Lisa provided a loving home for her. I’m so happy I found her. Will definitely contact her in the future ! Lisa’s dog didn’t want to see Lucy leave, they were buddies! Lisa kept in contact and sent pictures , that was so nice! I was searching for kennels when the Rover app popped up. So glad I checked it out ! With Lucy’s issues , a kennel would have traumatized her. Thank you again Lisa, I’ve made a new friend!”
“I don’t think I could give this an honest review because it’s only a five star review and my experience with 10 star! My boxer is two years old and has spent his entire life by my side since he was six weeks old, I had to go away for a vacation and worried about him not acclimating to a new environment. None of my fears came true, he was very well taken care of, and I would strongly recommend using Brionna! I never went anywhere for long but now I can rest assure that I have a fantastic pet sitter….. more trips may be planned in the future”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I will have plenty of time to care for your pup. I am available for boarding, pet sitting, walks, daily check-ins, and lots of cuddles and playtime. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly pups your furbaby will be more than happy to play with for hours at a time.
“Second time booking with Sarah. First time she came to pick to him up and drop him off which was so helpful since I was gone at crazy early/late hours. As always, communication and pictures were wonderful. Thank you Sarah.”
“Lauren (and her husband Doug) were absolutely fantastic Rover sitters for my senior dog, Watson. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in caring and capable hands. They were attentive to his special needs and made sure he felt comfortable and loved during his stay. They kept me updated with regular messages and photos and it was clear that they genuinely cared for Watson's well-being. They went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and content! I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their fur babies!!”
“I am a repeat customer with bookings already planned with Holly. She is excellent and I would not trust Barkley with anyone else. You can't go wrong booking with her. Thank you again!”
“Hannah was awesome! Even tho our request was last minute, she was very professional and responsive. She took care of Khai like a 5 star hotel would. We definitely recommend Hannah and will be rebooking. Thank you!!”
“Cassidy and Cody are always great with Stella, and she loves being able to play with their girls and dogs. We always get her back worn out and happy! Would book again!”
“Alexis did an amazing job watching Gunner and Luna! She kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. The dogs clearly had a great time and were happy and well cared for when we got back. We truly appreciate her attention and communication, and we look forward to working with Alexis again!”
“Cynthia and her Husband Lance were welcoming and willing to help us out last minute. They took really good care of of dog and made him feel like home. Would 100% recommend them! Thank you again!”
“Kara was great. She sent photos of our dog to us every day and when we picked him up, we could really feel that he enjoyed his time at her place. We would highly recommend and would love to have Kara sit our dog in the future.”
“Chelsea was AMAZING with Bryce! She communicated daily with updates on how Bryce was doing, and he seems to have a great time with her and her family. Thank you again, Chelsea!”
“This was first time Timmy, our 5 year jackapoo, was ever away from home without us. Timmy is very much attached to us and we’re very protective of him. My mother-in-law just turned 100 and my wife arranged a large family gathering for a 4 Day Florida celebration where her mother resides. We scheduled a meet snd greet with Amy and Patrick, Timmy and ourselves. We immediately felt that Timmy would be in good hands and Amy and Patrick disappoint. We received pictures and videos daily of Timmy on walks, playing and at bedtime. They followed our directions for feeding and treats to the letter! We highly recommend Amy and Patrick if you are looking for loving and caring folks to take care of doggie while you are away. They’re the best!”
