“What an amazing dog sitter! It’s clear our puppy loved her time with Donte; shes been a little mopey since she’s been back home lol Donte would make sure to give us a peace of mind since it was our first time boarding our puppy girl; he made sure to send us pictures and videos of our pup while we were away.

Thank you Juliana!!!”

He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”

I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“Christopher did a great job watching Monty for the night! Gave me constant updates and followed all my instructions to a T. As a dog mom it can be very hard leaving your baby with someone you don’t know, but Christopher did everything to make sure I was comfortable and knew Monty was in good hands.”
“Kristina was so patient and sweet with Olive, who can be nervous and shy. By day 2, Kristina was sending us pictures of Olive belly up and happily napping next to Kristina on the couch and Olive completely made herself at home. Olive’s stay overlapped with a major heatwave, and Kristina made sure to get Olive out early in the AM for a nice walk each morning before it got too hot. I would definitely recommend Kristina for attentive and loving care for your pet!”
“We have confidently left our furry baby in the loving care of Elaina multiple times and again, she took wonderful care of our cockapoo, Benjamin Franklin. She sent pics of him being a snuggle bug, lounging, and even enjoying the outdoors. Elaina is fantastic and absolutely, yes, we will book her again soon!”

We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

My dog Asta gets so excited to come back to stay he pulls at the leash and wants to race off when he sees Robert. And Robert should be a professional pet photographer--that's how great his photos are. The adorable report card is chef's kiss to the whole wonderful experience. Thank you, Robert!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”

“We can’t say enough how much we appreciate Breanna’s visit summary and photos! We get so much insight about how our cats are doing, and our cats warm up so quick to her, we know they’re well taken care off while we’re away. Thanks as always Breanna!!!”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“We booked twice a day drop in visits with Barb for our two male tabbies while away on a ten day vacation and we couldn’t be more pleased with her care. This is the longest we’ve ever left our boys and from the very first day we felt completely at ease. Barb went so far above and beyond to care for them—giving one of them oral meds at the last minute, preparing treat toys for them at her visits, perfectly following their feeding arrangement and sending tons of sweet photos. She offered to take our trash and recycling out without us asking, collected our mail, watered our plants and made sure that an important package was picked up quickly from our porch. It was such a huge relief to travel without worry knowing our boys were in incredible hands and we’ve already booked with Barb for two more of our summer getaways. Highly recommend choosing her to look after your fur babies!”
“Evelyn is great about following instructions and checking in. My cat's water fountain broke on the last day and she was great at asking me what to do. She's the type of person I want watching my kitty girl.”
“Kristin provided great care for our cat while we were on vacation. She sent detailed updates and daily photos. Besides feeding and cleaning his litter, Kristin showed him great affection which was very comforting. I would not hesitate to have her care for our cat again in the future.”
“Jennifer was a great babysitter- always filled me in and took the cutest pictures of my cat and hamster. She was reliable and responsive I am definitely going to hire her again for all my trips!”
“Linda was a fantastic sitter for our two kitties. She came daily and made sure their food and litter were addressed and went above and beyond on making sure any mess they created was cleaned. Linda was very communicative and thorough in her descriptions of her visit. She even left treats for the kitties! We highly recommend her for cat sitter visits!”
“Paz is so great! During our meet & greet she was super thorough, took great notes, and asked great questions. I knew my diabetic cat was in good hands with her. Will be booking her again!”
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for cats. I have my own rescue cat Pepper, whom I found abandoned in my backyard (cat distribution system!) I understand feline routines, personalities, and the patience cats need to feel comfortable. From feeding and litter care to playtime and quiet companionship, I always respect each cat’s space and treat them like family. You can trust me to give your cat calm, loving care while you’re away.
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
About: Not currently but in the past I've always had at least one cat. And multiple times a year I would pet sit a family member with five cats, two rabbits, two turtles, & a iguana. But currently I do not own any animals and very much miss the company of finicky felines & doting dogs.

“Terrific and caring, they care for our yellow lab. This is our first experience, leaving our dog off with someone and we were delighted that this was the perfect place to be. Our dog came back happy, safe, and is looking forward to more visits.”
“We had a family funeral to attend, and Cartier gave us one less thing to worry about that day. She was very welcoming and put us at ease immediately. We definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I give plenty of updates and photos,with regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to book well in advance or to jump in for last minte bookings. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your fall and winter travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability. Note: I do not provide care for wild animals outside clients' homes, including squirrels, raccoons, foxes, possums, or other rodents. I am happy to fill bird feeders and take care of fish or other indoor pets.
“Shelby and Robbie were both very flexible and accommodating considering the last minute request for daycare. They have a large fenced backyard and our dog loved hanging out with the two other dogs they had that day. All worked out really well, we got updates with pics throughout and our dog is now home, happy, exhausted and ready to go to bed after what seems to be a pretty active afternoon. Thank you Shelby and Robbie, truly appreciate your help!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, so I learned early how to handle their daily needs. Years of experience have helped me learn how to read different personalities. As of now I am home during the day so I am available for boardings in the morning, afternoon, and evening throughout the whole week. I provide a tranquil, stress-free space for pets in my home, carefully sticking to their specific meal times and offering plenty of monitored play. My priority is offering consistent, caring companionship so they feel just as safe and cherished as they would in their own living room.
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
About: Dogs are truly part of our family, and when your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated just like one of my own! I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. They’ll have free access to our large, fully fenced yard and can relax, nap, or hang out wherever they’re most comfortable in the house. I have two dogs —a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a 3 year old mixed breed—so your dog will have the option to have some furry company too. We’ve had dogs of many different breeds and personalities throughout our lives, and I’m comfortable recognizing different temperaments and reading body language to help keep everyone safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and will make sure they get the same love, attention, and care they’re used to at home. And of course, I’ll send plenty of photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have 2 dogs. I work from home, so the dogs have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule so they feel right at home. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They’ll receive plenty of attention and supervision, with access to our large, fully fenced-in yard for playtime and potty breaks. Inside, they’ll have comfortable spaces to relax and nap. I will follow your dog’s usual feeding, medication, and daily routines as closely as possible and happily send photos and updates throughout their stay.
“Thank you so much for looking after Griffin and Bandit for the day! I'm a very nervous dog mom and it's such a relief to know they have someone who they can hang with who will take very good care of them. I appreciate all the updates and pictures throughout the day it made me feel like I wasn't far away from them. ☺️”
“Chris has taken care of Pinto while I was away traveling. He did an amazing job, i didn’t have to worry even for one moment. He took care of her so well, and I would recommend him to anyone with a pet!”
About: I’m very experienced with puppies/kittens. I’ve rescued several kittens over the years, and fostered them as well. I have volunteered at no kill shelters in the past. I’m currently working from home so pet care fits into my schedule very well. I am an early riser so i am available early mornings as well as evenings. I care for pets in my home by showing them unconditional love, and attention, along with making sure they are always comfortable. Making them feel at home is my number one priority!
About: Hello! My name is Isaac and your canine companion is in great hands with me! I have over 5 years of professional experience walking and sitting dogs, but I also love watching my cousins and friends' dogs for fun! They've all left me with their dogs as they've travelled the world and since then I've made new friends... Elmo the Toy Poodle, Fiona the Pit bull, and Nimo the Yorkie! Dogs are extremely loyal so I vow to be just as loyal to your dog! I am the perfect companion for your dog because I will run, play, rub, and give affection to your dog. I believe dogs are more than just pets or animals, they really are our best friends and I cannot wait to meet yours! I work from home so I’m able to provide your dog love and support throughout the day. I can provide walks on a more frequent basis. I make sure to provide your pets with attention, feeding, petting, and exercise both physical and mental. I believe getting outside and getting a whiff of all the new scents around them is very mentally stimulating for your pets so that is a large part of my care for them.
“Deena was very accommodating and good with my dog. This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience great! She took care of my little guy!!! Thank you”
About: Hello! Meet a terrier trapped in a human body. I am an absolute lover of all dogs from the cutest little teacup to the biggest mastiff. I have always had a dog throughout my adult life. My past dogs have been adopted as puppies and as adult rescues, each of which requires a unique set of skills and responsiveness. You can trust that whether you have an energetic bundle of playfullness or a reserved, quiet couch buddy, they will receive an abundance of love and care from me. I match animals where they are and respond to what they need from me. Over my lifetime, I have cared for all kinds of animals, from cats, dogs, birds, fish and backyard chickens, to more exotic animals like chameleons, red-eared slider turtles, guinea pigs and other rodents, and even sheep, goats, and horses. I am currently a pet parent to two foster cats turned adopted felines, two guinea pigs, and two turtles. Being around animals brings me a deep sense of joy, peace, and fulfillment, and it is my utmost goal to return that same feeling to the animals in my life. I work part-time from home in Swarthmore, PA. As an animal lover who just can't get enough, I want to add pet-stting and dog-walking to my schedule to fill that well of animal love I already have. In rare instances, I will not be able to accept same-day requests, but otherwise, I should be able to meet your needs. Currently, I am taking drop in or occasional visits only. I am unable to add weekly walks or visits, but I can definitely fill in while you find the right sitter or help when your regular sitter is unavailable. As the owner of many types of animals with many different needs, I understand that caring for your pet in exactly the way you ask me to is of utmost importance. I will enter you home, approach your animal/s, provide care, and exit in the exact way you ask me to. As someone who has had many pet-sitters over my adulthood, I know how important it is to trust that your pet-sitter is doing exactly what you've asked them to do. You will not have to worry with me. Knowing that you can relax and enjoy your day or your vacation brings me joy because this is exactly what I want when I leave my pets in another's care.
“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
“I left my dog in Tim’s care for the day to attend a very important event, but was a bit concerned as my dog was clearly a bit off that morning. Tim was understanding, asked all the right questions, and I left assured that my Tim would keep me updated as needed. All went well, and I again appreciated the loving care Tim provided!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.

“This was our first time using Rover and I think I picked a great dog lover. Tamikia was very responsive even with a last minute request. She also sent videos which helped ease my anxiety since we’ve never had anyone outside of family care for Lolo. I cannot wait to book again!”
“Bree is always on time, does a full walk, takes photos, knows our two dogs (they both love her), and is so good at all of this that she gets it done with no disruption to our work from home situation. She is exactly what we have been looking for.”
“Destinee is everything you could want in a dog walker! Thorough, communicative, enthusiastic, and always right on time. As this was our first time working together, she asked great questions to ensure she was providing the best possible care for my dog. It is clear she takes her job seriously, and she immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog’s care in her hands. I look forward to utilizing her services again in the future! Her future in the veterinary field is bright.”
“Callie was the only reason we were able to get through the very young puppy stage with our Belgian Shepherd mix Clove. Callie walked Clove daily from when Clove was 2 months old to four months. Callie was clear and communicative about her schedule from the beginning, clearly outlining her availability with more than a month's advance notice. She let us know about any issues (all normal puppy stuff, but always helpful to know!) Callie is reliable, responsible, and kind. We loved that she left treats and a sweet note at the end of our first week. Callie gets our highest recommendation, and we'll continue to request Callie for one-off dog walks in the future!”
“Mike was great! I reached out to him with less than 48 hours notice, he agreed to come over for a meet and greet and provided exceptional service to AJ. He’ll be my go-to for al future dog sitting needs.”

About: I love taking care of pets! My favorite thing is to always make sure animals are happy and loved. I grew up with many pets from tiny mice to a German shepherd! I am a 4th year college student at West Chester University . I commute to school so I’m only on campus for classes (starting August 24) . I also work part time, but will be free anytime you need help! I’m hoping to make extra money to help with school payments. My school schedule Monday 2-4 Tuesday: 9:30-10:45, 11-2 Wednesday: 10-11:45, 2-4 Thursday: 9:30-10;45 I do have to leave around 1.5 hours before my first class starts in order to find parking. I provide attentive and loving care for your dog or cat whether my home or yours. I understand that each dog and cat has unique needs and personalities, which is why I prioritize maintaining their routine while providing companionship and proper care.
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life I've had to attend dog behavioral training classes with multiple dogs over the years of owning them with family. As an adult I've never had the privilege of owning my own dog only cats. But I've always been the one to help family members when they go away walks & pet siting. I work in the elder care system but trying to find a balance of Harmony. With my active lifestyle and fond affection for The Great outdoors I miss the company of dogs I don't have the means or time to own my own I would like an opportunity to be able to explore new areas of my local neighborhood and getting exercise. I do care for a cat though, she is not my own. But she is welcomed in my apartment she owns this house. And I only just pay the rent.
“Great with my little maltipoo. She took care of her and made sure she was hydrated during her walk. She was very professional and very nice. I will be using her again.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.
“Robyn is very reliable and we are so lucky to have her walking our dog. I can tell she truly takes care of our dog like her own. My husband and I look forward to reading the rover card reports. We are so happy to have found her to walk our doggo!”
About: Hello, My name Twanakay T., and I am 32 years old. While I don't currently have any pets of my own besides my fish tank, I grew up in a household with cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for animals. I had a cat named Jenny who lived with me from childhood until I was 18, and my father has a dog named Kingston. He can be quite a handful, but we are always patient with him, and I will bring that same patience to caring for your pets. I’ve also had a variety of pets over the years, including a rat I bought on a whim and a bunny who was quite elusive! I am open to learning exactly how you would like your pets to be cared for, so please let me know your preferences and schedule, and I will do my best to adhere to them. Thank you for considering me! Best regards, Twanakay Thompson I work in a hybrid format, I work from home from Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday to Friday, I work half days in the office. Please let me know if this aligns with your needs, and I would be happy to accommodate any specific requests regarding pet care during those times. Thank you! here is how how I approach pet care: 1. **Familiarization**: I take the time to get to know your pets and their specific needs, routines, and preferences. 2. **Environment**: I ensure that the environment is safe and comfortable for the pets. 3. **Exercise and Play**: Regular playtime and exercise are essential for pet health. 4. **Routine Maintenance**: I follow a consistent routine, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any grooming sessions, to help keep the pets relaxed and happy. 5. **Monitoring Health**: I keep an eye on their behavior, appetite, and overall health. If I notice anything unusual, I'm prepared to contact you or a veterinarian if necessary. 6. **Communication**: I provide regular updates so you can stay informed about your pets’ well-being while you’re away. This can include text messages, photos, or videos. 7. **Bonding**: Building a trusting relationship with your pets is crucial, so I always approach them gently and positively to help them feel secure and loved. If you have any specific preferences or additional guidelines for how you'd like your pets cared for, please let me know! Thank you for considering my services! Best regards, Twanakay T.

“Amber came over and spent some time with the dogs, we thought a walk would be good, but the rain never stopped and our dogs don’t love walking in the rain… wanted her to come and see the ups before she stays with them. Worked out great!”

“What an amazing dog sitter! It’s clear our puppy loved her time with Donte; shes been a little mopey since she’s been back home lol Donte would make sure to give us a peace of mind since it was our first time boarding our puppy girl; he made sure to send us pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. Very good communicator and we hope to have him as our dog sitter in the future! Highly recommend Donte!”
“Michell was amazing with our dog Luke! Even during a busy holiday weekend Michell made sure to keep us updated with photos and messages! He really put our mind at ease and our dog LOVED him! Michell was so kind and wonderful. Luke can't wait to stay with Michell again soon! He is a 5 star sitter for sure. Please don't hesitate to book a stay with Michell your dog will love him!”
“Dave provided outstanding care for my French Bulldog. His frequent updates gave me complete peace of mind, and it’s clear he treats every pet with genuine love and attention. I’ll definitely book with him again without hesitation!”
“My dog Sadie is a bit timid around groups of dogs, so I was a little worried when I realized Deena had several staying with her. I need not have worried! Deena’s a pro, has her apartment set up for all eventualities. Even though Sadie was only there two days, her intros were managed so well that she settled with the other dogs quite early and was in great spirits when I picked her up. Would definitely recommend Deena to anyone!”
“Lauren and Hunter were very sweet and attentive to our old pup. They sent pictures of him on frequent walks, and worked with us when our schedule was a little funky! Thank you for looking after Ganzo!!”
“Bryce was great with Alfie! It took Alfie some time to settle in which made me a bit nervous but Bryce ensured me that he had things under control and Alfie would be okay. He was even patient with me because I was worried! Bryce was also very accommodating when I had the dates incorrect due to the time zone. He quickly responded and modified the date. He was great! Thank you Bryce!”
“Carly is awesome! We did a 3-night stay and her frequent communication and daily updates as well as photos gave us peace of mind. She was also flexible when our pick-up time ran a little later than expected. Highly recommend her services and will rebook in the future!”
“Olivia was awesome with our dog Tobi! She sent lots of pictures and updates, took him on plenty of walks/fetch, and made sure he was happy the whole time. Her dog Loraine and Tobi got along great and had a blast playing together. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Thank you, Jasmine for being so wonderful with our dog Ollie over the holiday weekend! Ollie had some separation anxiety but she was so patient in caring for him with extra walks and time at the dog park, all the while sending consistent updates the whole time. She was amazingly communicative, flexible, and so very sweet and kind. Thank you again so much!!”
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“Chazz was so great! He instantly put my mind at ease about leaving my dog Zelda overnight for the first time and when I picked her up, she was calm and happy. I’d book again for sure.”
“Rebecca was sooooo wonderful!! We did a meet and greet first which was great — gave us some peace knowing how nice the space was for our pups. She was super communicative, sent updates (including pictures!!!) 100/10 so very glad to have found her & will absolutely be booking again next time we need a sitter! :)”
“Olivia was excellent and I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a pet sitter. She took great care of both my cats and I felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her. She provided updates and pictures everyday and I can’t think of leaving my cats with anyone else if go for another vacation! :)”
“Christopher did a great job watching Monty for the night! Gave me constant updates and followed all my instructions to a T. As a dog mom it can be very hard leaving your baby with someone you don’t know, but Christopher did everything to make sure I was comfortable and knew Monty was in good hands.”
“George was fabulous with Cannoli! He was super responsive and sent me adorable photos of my baby throughout the stay. Cannoli enjoyed playing with George’s dogs who are also sweet and lovable! Would definitely book with George again!”
“We have confidently left our furry baby in the loving care of Elaina multiple times and again, she took wonderful care of our cockapoo, Benjamin Franklin. She sent pics of him being a snuggle bug, lounging, and even enjoying the outdoors. Elaina is fantastic and absolutely, yes, we will book her again soon!”
“Robert is absolutely fabulous, much like the outside decoration of his charming home! My dog Asta gets so excited to come back to stay he pulls at the leash and wants to race off when he sees Robert. And Robert should be a professional pet photographer--that's how great his photos are. The adorable report card is chef's kiss to the whole wonderful experience. Thank you, Robert!”
