“Aimee was absolutely amazing and is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter we’ve met so far! She took care of our dog for ten days, and from the very beginning, we knew our pup was in great hands. 😁 She has such a warm, caring personality, and it was clear how much love and attention she gave our dog. Throughout the entire stay, she sent frequent updates with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was wonderful to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dog was every day. 😌 We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Aimee went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to caring for their pets. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again! ☺️”
“Beaune had a fabulous time with Benjamin and his family. They went the extra mile to make him feel welcomed and comfortable. They were attentive and tuned into his preferences, needs, and personality! Benjamin’s home is the perfect mix of play and peace, with a great backyard, friendly pup friends, and comfy places to rest. We’ll absolutely return (and already booked our next stay)! There’s really no value you can place on a safe, reliable, and caring sitter for your furbaby and Benjamin is just that!”
“Rachel took amazing care our dog! He's a little, old dog with various issues and she made sure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to booking with Rachel again soon.”
“Very nice, great sitter, watched my dogs and despite their accidents handled everything very well. Meet and greet prior was a nice addition. Home was open and welcoming to my pups and she supplied pics throughout our trips and kept us informed when they got sick and how they were doing.”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough! She has been taking care of my dog, Milo, for quite some time now, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in her care. She and family truly treat Milo like he’s their own. He’s always so well cared for, loved, and honestly spoiled in the best way possible. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and it shows in everything she does. She’s reliable, kind, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which means so much. Milo is always happy to see her, and that says it all. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one. I wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Ulku and Andrew were wonderful! I had constant updates and they treated Bailey like one of the family. I would highly recommend you trust them with your fur baby.”
“I want to thank Diego and Ameilia for taking such good care of Toffee! This was the first time we've left Toffee in a sitter’s home. Toffee seemed very happy and taken good care of. I felt pleased seeing all the pics that they shared.I will definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to others!”
“She is a perfect!!! I have a 7yrs old small chihuahua and she usually never let other people touch her and my dog let Ms Thalita hug her kiss her too. Also she feed her perfectly and my dog had a lot enjoy with Thalita and her family. She is a best”
“David is a wonderful pet sitter. We have a senior dog who needs medicine twice a day and wants to be by your side all the time because he is partially blind and has lost his hearing. When Rocco returns from a stay with David, he is still the same happy pup. David is also very flexible with adapting to any changes that might come up with your plans for your pet’s stay. David has become my regular pet sitter and I always know my pet is in great hands. I highly recommend David!”
“Corra had the best time with Dolly and her sons. She was well taken care of with plenty of walks and cuddles. Dolly also kept us updated with frequent pictures. Will definitely book Dolly again !!”
“Emelie was the sweetest and most communicative caretaker I could’ve asked for for our little guy. He has some anxiety issues and needed a little extra TLC and that all seemed fine and easily done by this sweet and kind carer. He also got along with her other dogs really well which I’m sure made him feel even more at peace and at home away from home. Highly recommend Emelie for anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their furry family member.”
“Juliana is one word..AMAZING!!! I have used rover many of times and have never felt like I found my person until I met Juliana. She says has not been doing this rover thing for long but it sure seems like it. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her overnight. He came back to me the same way i left him. She responds quickly and also sent me plenty of pictures. I am for sure booking with her in the very near future. Thank you Juliana for keeping Melo safe.”
“Exceptional service! Couldn’t have asked for more. Ryan and his family do love dogs and go the extra mile for them to be happy during their stay.Our JRT had the time of his life at Ryan’s. If he is available we will definitely rebook. Never been happier with a Rover sitter. Wonderful job.”
“Richard took great care of my dog and provided timely updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Fanny has some separation anxiety but seemed right at home and comfortable with Richard, I would highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kat and Matt! They took great care of our two dogs over the weekend and made sure we always felt connected by sending regular photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with them again!”
“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”
“We’ve used Chonlada and family for two separate weeks this summer to watch our Frenchie. Our dog Gus is so well taken care of and has such a fun time with her dog. Chonlada is very responsive/communicative and caring. Absolutely recommend and we will be booking with her and her family again in the future!”

“Emma was wonderful in taking care of my two cats while we were away. She was reliable, followed through on everything she said she would do, and reached out with questions whenever needed. She kept all of the litter boxes clean and, most importantly, spent quality time playing with my cats so they had interaction and enrichment while we were gone. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for. I would happily book Emma again and highly recommend her!”
“Alexandra has a caring, patient approach. Our two young cats--who are very shy with new people--warmed up to Alexandra and seemed to look forward to her visits while we were away. Alexandra's photos and thoughtful updates alleviated our anxieties about leaving for an extended time. Simply wonderful!”
“Jackie was absolutely amazing with my cat. I highly recommend her due to her genuine care, respect for my home, and wonderful personality. It was an absolute pleasure to have her watch Nora.”
““I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Julia provided for my pets while I was away. They sent regular updates and photos, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and really took the time to make my animals feel comfortable. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy house. I couldn’t ask for anything better!””
“Daphne and Rosie seemed to really hit it off. (Love the pics of Daphne scratching the top of Rosie's head!) Rosie seemed quite happy and content when we arrived back home. Daphne was prompt on her arrival times and all was in order with the house. We would definitely have Daphne care for Rosie again.”
“Thank you Katelyn so nicd to have a reliable person to help me with my senior cat. I really appreciate you bringing in my mail and amazon boxes and watering my plants I will be booking you for all my trips.”
About: I’ve had a dog for two years now and he is my favorite thing in the world. I am good with walks and staying over to watch any type of dog or other pet. I am free most days of the week so feel free to reach out anytime! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. I care for pets by playing with them, making sure they are properly fed, and always keeping an eye on them so nothing goes wrong
“Mey is the absolute best. So patient and kind with our guy, and very thoughtful and professional with us. You can sense the compassion and mutual respect, and we have loved every minute of having her drop in. Thank you so!”
“Talia was absolutely amazing I cannot recommend enough!! She communicated wonderfully and took the time to get to know my cat’s personality. The pictures were great and I felt relaxed on my vacation knowing that Talia was giving my cat some love / cuddle time. 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Lev is the BEST!!! He took care of everything per the instructions, but most importantly went above and beyond to play with my cat while I was gone. My cat can be shy when I’m not around, but Lev was patient with him and got him to be his happy, social self even while I wasn’t there.”
“Joanna was amazing. She checked in on our 3 cats during a very stressful time and gave us so much reassurance on how they were doing. She stayed overtime to ensure our one cat got her medicine and was doing okay. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for them.”
“Meredeth and Jeremy were absolutely wonderful! They were caring, reliable, and sincere about providing excellent care for our two cats over a multi-day booking. Highly recommended! Thank you guys again for really going above and beyond to provide us with peace and trust and thoughtful communication. It meant so much to us!”
“Sophia went above and beyond caring for my cats during a massive heatwave, checking in with us and reassuring us that the air conditioning was still working well. The cats were well taken care of! Would absolutely hire again.”
“Susan has dropped in to feed and attend to my cat Max several times now. She always provides updates and seems to love giving Max attention. He is a social cat and having Susan in while we are away is important to his well-being.”
About: Hi, I'm Jen! I've been caring for all different types of animals all my life and I would love the opportunity to spend some time with your pet! I currently own a horse and a cat. I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule that allows walks or playtime throughout the day. I've been caring for and walking dogs professionally for 7 years. I have experience with all different sizes, ages and temperaments. I have a wide range of knowledge on different types of harnesses and how to handle any stressful situations that may arise during our time together. In case of emergency, I have a car and will always be able to get your pet to their vet or nearby animal hospital. I am also able to provide any type of medication your pet may need. I love to provide photo updates to the owner during my walks/visits. Because of the many years of experience I've had with horses, I believe I am well equipped to care for a variety of animals. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet like my own. I work from home and am able to provide walks/playtime throughout the day. I have a car so I can travel to you or bring your dog to a park or walk on a path. Whatever you are comfortable with. I live in a nice community where I am able to take dogs on long safe walks. If you need in home care, I am open to drop ins or hosting at my apartment. My cat is very respectful and is used to other animals.
About: I have always loved cats and in college I found a cat colony that I began feeding and caring for daily. From there my obsession grew until I eventually began fostering the sweetest cat until she got adopted. I unfortunately cannot have a cat of my own currently, but I cannot wait until I am able to care for a cat again. In the meantime, I visit cat cafes weekly and cat sit whenever I can.

“Rachel is living and caring with our Puppy! I enjoy getting the snapshots and videos of them playing or walking together. It is such a comfort knowing that he is with Rachel and loved and cared for when i am away on business. He absolutely loves being with Rachel and has made himself super comfortable in her home!”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
“I am so lucky to have found Erica on Rover. She is amazing and my doggies absolutely had a fabulous time with her ! She is pleasant and kind and after the first visit they got excited when they saw her for their second day. Going to work is so easy now that my guys have Erica caring for them. We are going to continue with her for as long as she will have them.”
“We booked Alessandra to watch Ruby three days in a row during the workday, and she truly treated Ruby like one of the family. Where Ruby had previously displayed some anxiety when we left her with others, she was more than happy to spend time at Alessandra's. On top of that Alessandra shared plenty of photos and videos throughout the days that put my mind at ease that Ruby was doing just fine. She also worked with our timing needs. Would absolutely rebook!”
About: I grew up with dogs. When I was 18 I co-adopted two pitbulls who lived out their lives with me. After college, I volunteered for Monster Milers taking shelter dogs from Street Tails Animal Rescue out for runs to help them burn energy and become more adoptable. My wife and I have adopted three times. A fawn pug who lived until 9 years old, a black pug who lived until 17 years old, and a Alaskan Malamute/Husky/Amstaff mix (107lbs) that lived until he was 13 and we recently lost. I'm good with all furry friends big and small and adjust my approach based on the dogs energy. I currently have a ton of flexibility outside of my kids to help with your pups, but generally, I'm home a lot and very active so lots of room to get your pup out for long walks and exercise/stimulation. I do not have a fenced in yard, and always keep my dogs on leashes until they were absolutely ready to listen solely to my commands. I use a gentle leader that helps minimize impact on their throat and also is very effective with pulling, but can be flexible to your sitch.
“Ulku and Andrew were amazing and accommodated my last minute request. They were friendly and quick to respond. They sent me pictures of Skye and I felt safe leaving Skye at their place!”
“Hollie was absolutely wonderful with Chacho! She watched him for three days of daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in caring and capable hands. Hollie kept me updated, made sure Chacho was comfortable, and gave him plenty of opportunities to play and socialize with the other dogs. He had an amazing time and came home happy, relaxed, and completely worn out, which is always a sign of a great day for him! It’s clear that Hollie genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like her own. I truly appreciated her kindness, communication, and dedication to making sure Chacho had a fun and safe stay. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“Ryan helped us out very last minute and watched our giant newfiedoodle puppy for the day. He came back happy and tuckered out. Can’t wait to reach out to Ryan again the next time we’re in town.”
“Clarissa is extraordinary! She watched my Bambi girl. I got updates, the cutest photos and videos of Bambi having the most fun. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family for dog care. All the dogs are treated like their own, like family! She has a huge, secure fenced in yard, a doggie door where the dogs are free to go in and out as they please, and a HUGE heart for all the dogs under her care. I really can’t say enough about Clarissa and her family! When it came time to pick up Bambi, she didn’t want to leave! That says it all!!!”

Honestly, I think I enjoy our walks just as much as the dogs do! Why Choose Me? What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for animals and the deep bond I’ve always shared with my own pets.

“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup.

“Ena and Daniel watched my pup on very short notice today- which I appreciated immensely! My little girl is very skittish and I was worried that she wouldn’t interact but it was just the opposite- within 15 minutes of me dropping her off they posted pictures of her on their laps, drinking water and hanging out with their dog it made my stressful day so much better! I will definitely be using them again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am also comfortable caring for cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors and have experience managing different personalities and energy levels. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary hospital and a zoo, where I learned safe handling, how to recognize signs of stress or illness, and how to maintain proper care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’m especially comfortable with active dogs as well as providing gentle care for younger or more sensitive pets. I am also quite the green-thumb if you need your plants watered!🌸🪴🌼🌱🌻 My schedule is very open and flexible, which allows me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, including walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in my client’s home. I am very attentive and detail-oriented, and I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and supervise pets closely during play. I pay close attention to behavior and can recognize signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep routines consistent to help pets feel comfortable and safe.
“Met Alexandra for a Meet & Greet and she immediately put my mind at ease! I have a senior dog and a young one and from the moment she walked in she showed that she understood their varying needs even by just greeting them! She listed to all my notes and concerns and made me feel like she would care for them as if they were her own! She is a true dog person and that’s the type of care giver every dog owner needs!”
“Julia helped us out at very short notice and took our two dogs out for a walk whilst we were away for the day. She followed our instructions and we found them happy and safe upon our return”
About: I have always had a dog in my house, even now. I know it's hard to leave your dogs when heading away. I hope that I can help! I can give medication, take your dog for walks during the evening and weekends and can provide extra love when you are not around. I have had experience with dogs who are not dog friendly with others, so I am able to handle dogs that might not get along, but that doesn't mean the can't have fun throwing the ball or go for walks (I've learned where to find the walks where other dogs won't be). Any other questions, please feel free to reach out! I’m available on weekends for walks or boarding. During the week, I am available after 4pm for walks and feedings until you get home from work. We have a fenced in yard and dogs are welcome on couches and beds, in this house! I also have a 3 year old son who might be a bigger dog lover than we are, to offer additional affection!
“Wonderful to have Daphne come by and walk my little dogs. We're rarely away and they can be skittish with strangers but they obviously made friends. She sent happy pictures and I felt completely confident that they were well taken care of. My first choice if I need a dog walker/sitter in the future. Thank you Daphne.”
About: I’ve had a dog for two years now and he is my favorite thing in the world. I am good with walks and staying over to watch any type of dog or other pet.

I care for pets by playing with them, making sure they are properly fed, and always keeping an eye on them so nothing goes wrong
“Jacob is great!!! He has a great personality, he's was really good with my dog and very caring. Great communication. He sent me a really nice update after walking Lucas. Highly highly recommended. He's the BEST!!!!! I'll definitely keep working with him.”
“So happy we found Erica to help out twice a week taking our energetic dog for a midday walk! She’s responsive on the app, clearly loves dogs, is respectful of our home, and always leaves a picture and update after the walk. We’ve settled into a nice routine and it gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work knowing Erica will be stopping in.”
“Craig is great!! Always here on time and Higgins, my terrier, gets new route each time. This evening walk relieves a lot of stress for me and my husband- knowing that we can rely on Craig.”
About: I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of pets! I have experience with reactive dogs (I have one of my own), and I also care for a senior cat with complex needs. I love all animals. Because I create my own schedule for nursing, I often have days and nights free for pet care! I have a car and can fit all sorts of animal care needs into my schedule. When caring for your pets, I will spend lots of time playing, giving them cuddles, and taking them outside when needed. I will make sure they are happy.
“Bona was wonderful and helped us in a pinch. She was great on the walk and very communicative. She was able to manage Elmer, a very high energy trash eating dog. Very greatful and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs for about 5 years, and my first dog for a couple years before that. Walking them, feeding them, bathing them, and playing with them! I’ve had my second dog since he was a puppy so I’ve had some experience, but I am still learning! I’m currently working a part time hybrid schedule, feeding the dogs in the morning after a quick walk, midday walk/play in yard, then dinner and a final walk at the end of the day. My dog has fun in a fenced yard, his comfy bed, and more toys than he needs. We snuggle a lot on the couch and bed, he gets a whole lot of love.
About: I have worked at PlayTime Pet Resort, a pet boarding facility. Additionally, I have experience in pet sitting and walking for families in my neighborhood. I am a full time student while playing a collegiate sport. Nights during the weekday and all day on the weekends work best for my schedule. I have a cat and dog at home who I keep active by providing a stimulating environment. Using my experience in pet sitting and walking, I can ensure that I take great care of pets while cleaning up after them.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors for years, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets while you are away. I have experience with pets of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, including shy pets, high-energy dogs, and senior animals. I am organized, reliable, and communicative, and I always prioritize following each pet owner’s instructions closely.

I can also be flexible if last-minute changes are needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, crate instructions, and any behavioral or safety considerations. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I also provide regular communication, updates, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful, clean, dependable, and focused on creating a calm and safe environment for your pet.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and have experience for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I am also comfortable with fish, reptiles, and other small pets, so I can cover any additional pets other than dogs and cats. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your pets loves walks, or playing, or just company to hang out with, I’ll make sure to give them the care they need, as well as the style they prefer. I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet with someone else, so I value communication above all. Whether it be photos, quick updates, or detailed summaries of each visit, I prioritize a clean and quick path of communication, from the moment my services are required, the moment they’re complete. I am currently out of school and starting a full-time job in late August, so this summer is very open for me. I do not currently have a part-time position, so my days are super open and I will take all work offered to me. I live in Wayne, with a large, fenced-in yard, around a spacious and clean home. I have siblings, all of which have as much experience with and love for animals as I do. With my siblings being in school and having sports and jobs, and my parents having work, the house is usually completely empty anyways. We are the ‘go-to’ house when any family or friends need a pet-sitter, so we’re all very comfortable dogs of all sizes and personalities.
About: I have been cat and dog sitting since the age of 12, and I absolutely ADORE animals. I have experience caring for pets doing everything from round the clock care to more sparse feedings, walkings, and cleanings. I have a lot of experience with senior pets as my favorite client is an adorable senior yorkie! I currently make my own schedule at work, so I can care for your pets very flexibly. I am free just about every single night and most weekends! Your pet would be my top priority! I care for pets in any way they need. I’ve cared for animals that require round the clock care meaning sleeping at the house to ensure I am available at all hours for the pet’s needs, feeding at specific scheduled times, and playing and cleaning as needed. I also can do more sparse jobs for more independent pets, letting them out, taking them for walks, and feeding them at specific times throughout the day.
“Thalita was wonderful with our dog! She also made sure our dog got plenty of water, had some calming music for while back in her crate, and ensure she has her lunch! Thalita sent plenty of photos and provided updates. Made our time more relaxing knowing she was in great hands!”

“Beaune had a fabulous time with Benjamin and his family. They went the extra mile to make him feel welcomed and comfortable. They were attentive and tuned into his preferences, needs, and personality! Benjamin’s home is the perfect mix of play and peace, with a great backyard, friendly pup friends, and comfy places to rest. We’ll absolutely return (and already booked our next stay)! There’s really no value you can place on a safe, reliable, and caring sitter for your furbaby and Benjamin is just that!”
“Ulku and Andrew were wonderful! I had constant updates and they treated Bailey like one of the family. I would highly recommend you trust them with your fur baby.”
“She is a perfect!!! I have a 7yrs old small chihuahua and she usually never let other people touch her and my dog let Ms Thalita hug her kiss her too. Also she feed her perfectly and my dog had a lot enjoy with Thalita and her family. She is a best”
“David is a wonderful pet sitter. We have a senior dog who needs medicine twice a day and wants to be by your side all the time because he is partially blind and has lost his hearing. When Rocco returns from a stay with David, he is still the same happy pup. David is also very flexible with adapting to any changes that might come up with your plans for your pet’s stay. David has become my regular pet sitter and I always know my pet is in great hands. I highly recommend David!”
“Corra had the best time with Dolly and her sons. She was well taken care of with plenty of walks and cuddles. Dolly also kept us updated with frequent pictures. Will definitely book Dolly again !!”
“Emelie was the sweetest and most communicative caretaker I could’ve asked for for our little guy. He has some anxiety issues and needed a little extra TLC and that all seemed fine and easily done by this sweet and kind carer. He also got along with her other dogs really well which I’m sure made him feel even more at peace and at home away from home. Highly recommend Emelie for anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their furry family member.”
“Exceptional service! Couldn’t have asked for more. Ryan and his family do love dogs and go the extra mile for them to be happy during their stay.Our JRT had the time of his life at Ryan’s. If he is available we will definitely rebook. Never been happier with a Rover sitter. Wonderful job.”
“I was so thankful to Allison and her daughters for taking such good care of my senior dog . My dog starts to become agitated the moment I leave him . I was so worried but I received a text and picture about an hour and a half later showing my dog relaxed and cuddling with one of her little girls❤️I received regular updates and pictures. My worries about leaving him were quickly put to rest . Allison and the girls treated him like their own. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Allison enough. 10 stars !!”
“Dakota seemed so comfortable which is rare for him because he’s super anxious and old and set in his ways! I’m so grateful for Christin and I received pictures along the way and I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“My senior pitty, Bia, was in great hands with Nicole. She made adjustments to ensure my aging Bia was as comfortable and safe in a new setting as she could be, like blocking off stairs, raising food bowls, and ensuring she ate enough (Bia is the only dog I’ve met that turns down food!). Nicole communicated well to provide peace of mind for me while giving my anxious girl the attention and affection needed to settle in. It’s clear she has a big nurturing heart and it was evident in her care of Bia. She was very easy to coordinate with pre and post drop off. Would definitely recommend Nicole to others, especially if senior dog care is a consideration ♥️”
“Our anxious, young pithoula loved Lynda and we loved the updates, photos, and relief that we knew she was being cared for and allowed/ encouraged to her cozy. Cider had a blast. Thank you!!”
“Rebecca was a terrific sitter. We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She kept us up to date with lots of photos and messages and we came home to a happy pup. We will definitely be using Rebecca’s services in the future.”
“Such a wonderful experience with Joanna!! Our dog was new to pet sitting and she got royal treatment! She also sent us some photos and videos while we were away that were so comforting for me and my children”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Christine. She is incredibly experienced and truly cared for our good boy Franklin. She provided regular updates, which I really appreciated, and it was clear my dog was comfortable and happy in her care. I also love that she doesn’t have young children or other pets, and her yard provided a great space for Franklin to play and relax. Highly recommend—she’s reliable, attentive, and a true dog lover!”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Wenji was very kind, and her daughter absolutely loves dogs, so Nina seemed to have been loved and had a great time during her one night boarding. Wenji kept me updated on Nina’s status from time to time, and I would be happy to use her boarding service next time🥰”
