“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Juliana is a wonderful sitter! Meek got so excited when being dropped off for his 2nd visit at her house. She is loving and takes great care of Meek. Constant updated the care of Meek”
“David took such good care of my dog this past weekend, when I brought Knuckles home he cried as if he missed him . David sent daily photos which made me so much more comfortable knowing that my dog was happy. I will definitely be a returning client.”
“Zenith cared for my dog from February 19–22, and I am so grateful for her. From the start, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She sent sweet updates, photos, and videos that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear she treated him with genuine love and care, just like I would. I never once worried while I was away. I would happily book with her again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pup.”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Yuiko was an excellent caretaker of our dog for five days. Our dog had so much fun playing in the backyard and she took him on nice hikes. We will definitely book again! :)”
“Donte is awesome! I've never left Theo with anyone before, this is the first time Theo and I have been separated for more than 24 hrs. This time it was from Saturday to Tuesday. I was supposed to pick up Theo on Monday but I ended up catching tge flue and Donte was more than happy to watch Theo and extra day. On picking Theo up I could tell how happy he was with the care Donte provided. Thanks again Donte, you did an awesome job!”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“Patty is the absolute best! She took such great care of my dog Pippa for an extended stay. She was so kind and communicative. She treated my little girl like she was her own. She and her husband are truly dog whisperers.”
“Michell did an excellent job of watching our ten year old dog! Our dog was very happy in his care. They were very attentive, giving him insulin twice a day, and sending daily updates and photos. Our dog scratched himself (not unlike him to do) and Michell cleaned the area, and even went to the store and bought our dog an e-collar to keep him from making it worse. Thanks so much, Michell!”
“Brian and his family took great care of my dog. She loved playing with his dogs in their big yard, and Brian sent photos and updates throughout. We’ll definitely book with him again!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“It was my first time away from my dog and I was very worried if he will be in good hands, but Tamika made sure to keep me updated and assure me! I’m definitely rebooking.”
“Rhea took great care of my dog over the weekend. He was so comfortable as soon as he got there and got along great with their sweet dog. I received pictures and updates multiple times per day and could see he was calm, and happy during his visit. He had a nice little vacation of his own there with lots of walks, play time, and cuddles! Thank you !”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Tim and Ally were great sitters for our girl Sadie! We were updated, sent photos and felt reassured that Sadie was enjoying her time while we were away. Will not hesitate to rebook.”
“I have officially found the best dog watcher ever. I can’t even say how comforted I felt having Christopher watch our dog. We have had issues with dog watchers before who say they are knowledgeable about dogs when they actually aren’t. Our dog has lots of energy and is also an extensive cuddles, so needs a lot of attention to say the least. Christopher is the first dog watcher we have had that actually understood that. He took our dog for multiple, miles long walks each day, and we were treated to wonderful pictures of our dog having cuddle sessions with Christopher. Our dog was sad, yes sad, when he came home with us because he missed Christopher, which to me is wonderful. It’s a sign that our dog actually got the love and attention we hoped he would have while we were away. We got multiple pictures a day of Marshall and constant updates about how he was. I one hundred percent will be using Christopher again, as he truly is knowledgeable about dogs needs and gives the dogs the love and attention they deserve!”
“First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !”

“Amazing! Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs a cat sitter. She is always quick to respond, very easy to work with, and kept us up to date with everything. We really appreciate it! Thank you!”
“Kathy is my go to sitter! If you ever have the chance to have her take care of your animals you will be more than happy! She has a way of putting my cat at ease while I am away. She takes the time to play with her and interact with her! I am thrilled with the love and care she gives to my pet. I highly recommend her as being responsible and caring.”
“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.”
“Sarah took great care of our kitties while we were away, even cleaning up a small hairball/mess they had made! Her pictures were great and both kitties seemed to really like her!”
“Everything went smoothly with Jennifer watching my little kitties over the weekend. She provided us with great pics and detailed visitation logs and her communication was great!”
“He did a great job taking care of my kitties while we were on vacation! Very pleasant, friendly, trustworthy and communicates well! Looking forward to using his services again.”
“Julia is very nice and personable. She was very responsible in coming on a regular basis, twice a day, to take care of my two cats and was diligent on sending photographs! I would recommend Julia. I feel like my cats were well taken care of and seemed happy when I returned.”
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
“As this was my first time using Rover, I was full of questions yet Brittany patiently answered them all and provided me reassuring updates. She was timely in her reply’s and made me feel good knowing Daisy was checked on, despite my fur baby’s shyness. Will book again!”
“I always trust Heather with my pets, including 2 cats with medical conditions — she is kind, attentive, and with her medical background she is great at medicating them correctly and safely. We will always use Heather for checking on our critters in our home!”
“Hannah is a cat whisperer! Our cat is so shy & scared of so many things. Other Petsitters rarely see her. Hannah sent us so many pictures of Minnie everyday. We were amazed! We definitely recommend Hannah & will hire her again.”
“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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: Hi there! I’m Alli - a lifelong dog lover with lots of hands-on experience, especially with rescues and pups who need a little extra patience. I have a 3-year-old pittie mix, Penelope, and I’ve been very involved in her training since she was a puppy, so I’m comfortable working with reactive or nervous dogs. I’m also experienced with giving both oral and eye medications. My family has multiple rescue dogs, so I understand that every dog is unique and may need different types of care. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with their pets, and I’d love to care for yours too! I currently have a very open schedule, so caring for pets is something I can give my full attention to. I’m available most hours of the day and can easily accommodate walk times, drop-ins, or last-minute needs. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. I ask for clear notes about their habits, quirks, boundaries, and daily schedule so I can keep things consistent and comfortable for them. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I treat your pet like family — with patience, safety, and lots of attention.
About: I love animals and animals have been apart of my life since the day I was born. I am very trusting and loving person. I have been dog sitting and walking for a couple years now. I have dogs of my own so I’m always taking care of them and walking them everyday, even going on hikes. I have always taken care of animals my whole life. I have a big backyard so I’m always trying to run them. Every summer we always go on hikes with them as well. They love it.
“Teresa did a great job taking care of our cat while we were gone. Daily updates were provided that included pictures. This was the first time leaving her with a professional and Teresa made us feel very good about it. She's a natural with cats, very professional and thorough. We will definitely reach out to Teresa again for future cat-sitting”

About: ** update: i am currently limiting my availability as I prepare to bring home a new puppy! I will be reopening my calendar in September for private single family dog boardings. For walks and other services, please send me a message! ** Hi there! I’m Nic, I am 34, and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I truly enjoy their company. I promise to care for your pup as if they were my own. I’m happiest when a dog is near, and as dog parents, I’m sure you understand that feeling! When I use Rover as a dog parent, I’m nervous about choosing someone to care for my dog, so I understand anxieties about leaving your precious baby with someone new. I promise your dog will be treated with patience, kindness, and love, just as I have with my pup. I an actively working on becoming a certified dog trainer. I have done a lot of research, and trained my own dogs. I’d be happy to work on sessions while your pup is in my care. If there’s anything you’re actively working on reinforcing for cues and/or behaviors, please let me know! I keep food/water bowls (3cup size), dog bags, treats, toys, and bones in the house - I’ll ask you if there’s any restrictions on treats, bones etc. i try to have you need to bring as little as possible for your pup; I know the hassle of getting the whole family ready - let alone the dog’s stuff! If there’s anything you need specific, just ask! I work remotely from home full time, so I am available and would be with your pup all day (for boardings), or available for different timed drop ins or walks! My meeting schedules vary daily/weekly but I am overall available and present with your pet during the day and night. *** Please note that I keep my calendar availability open 6 months at a time. If you need a booking request further out than 6 months please select any available date and message me your actual requested days for review *** I do not have any other pets in my home. I do not have any children. I also do not have any males in my home, if your pup is weary of new men (No offense fellas!) I do live in a condo building, so your pup will need to be able to walk up stairs. There is an elevator in the building, but we will take the stairs if they fear or are uncertain of the elevator. Your pup must be OK walking on-leash, as we are not allowed to have dogs off-leash on the property. If your pup requires off-leash potty breaks, i recommend drop-ins instead of boarding.
About: As experienced dog owners, we are familiar with periods of puppy & teenager, have expectations for accidents, demand of attentions and needs of releasing energy. We have two fixed male dogs & 3 cats at home. Dog is energetic and friendly. Cats are shy, they usually just stay away from dog(s).We have our family room cleared for dog to play, and a fenced backyard that allows dog to burn their energy anytime. We are looking forward to meeting and taking care of dogs&cats! Zhuoran is currently at home 24/7. All dogs are crate-free in family room unless there is behavior issue during the day, and all dogs stay in the bedroom with us at night. - Dog walking schedule: 6:30am, 11am, 3pm, 8pm, and before bed time. In weekends we take dogs to fully fenced dog parks for 30~60min. Schedules are adjustable as needed. I'm currently stay at home 24/7. We wake up 6:00am for the first walk, and a short walk every 3~5 hours. My working station is in the family room right next to dogs, so I can take care of the dogs quickly if anything happened. We have a cleared family room with a safe gate, the whole space is belong to the dogs. We also have a fully fenced backyard that allows dogs to burn their energy and enjoy the fresh air.
“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.”
About: Hi there! We’re a family of four with big hearts and an even bigger soft spot for dogs. We recently said goodbye to our sweet boy after 13 wonderful years, and while we’re not quite ready for another full-time furry family member, we’d love to share our love of dogs by helping care for yours! Our experience includes caring for dogs of all ages — from puppies to seniors — and giving medication in pill form when needed. I am currently unemployed - which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. We have two kids at home who can lend an extra hand in evenings and weekends. We have a fenced-in yard, perfect for daily exercise and bathroom breaks. While our dogs haven’t been crate-trained, we’re happy to use a crate if that’s what your pup is used to. Someone will almost always be home while your dog is in our care, and we’re happy to discuss the best plan if there’s ever a time they might be alone in the house.
“Enes and Stephanie took great care of my Thusnelda. They communicated well and sent lots of updates. Thusnelda also had a great time playing with their dogs. Thanks so much!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.
“Christopher is the best dog sitter I have had on Rover! He send me lots of picture throughout the day and work on Ben’s training. I feel so confident leaving my dog Ben with him and knowing that he is gonna have a fun day!”
“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: Just over a year ago I've had the experience and joy to care of my friends dog. I was able to take her home for a month and make sure she well loved. We walked, played, did some tricks and got to enjoy each other company. Ever since then I've always been fascinated about dogs especially huskies they are my favorite! Don't get me wrong I love other dogs as well, especially the ones who waggles their tail in excitement! One day I will have a dog of my own and be able to nourish and care for it the same way I'm able to do with other dogs today. But until then I will continue to play and love each dog equally. I’m home 24/7 so your dog will have my undivided attention. I also can give your dog a bath if need and take good care of them. I have a fenced backyard that is properly fenced for a dog scroll around. I typically enjoy walking so I don't mind taking walks with your pups rather than letting them hangout in the back yard.
“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”
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.

“Ben was a pleasure to work with! He is trustworthy, and considerate. He took great care of my puppy! Always making sure he had a fun walk! He took lots of pictures which I appreciated getting! He was very accommodating to my schedule which can always change at the last minute. I highly recommend ben to care for your fur babies!!”
“Helena went above and beyond! I reached out last minute because I was stuck at work and she was able to walk my dog. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and familiar with her before they went for a walk. She also refilled his water bowl! My dog is very timid and shy with new people but he warmed to Helena with just a few treats.”
“Kathy is energetic, sweet & my dog loved her! She made sure Molly was walked the full 1/2 hour, was safe and did everything she needed to do (pee & poop). I highly recommend Kathy & will be using her again.”
“Kevin was outstanding! Ziggy is a big boy and can be a bit of a handful on leash at times, but Kevin handled him easily. You can tell how much Kevin loves dogs and he treated my boy like he was his own. Kevin was always punctual and asked thoughtful questions about behaviors, other dogs in the neighborhood, routes to walk,etc. His experience and compassion and care for animals was evident the first time I met him. I really can't recommend Kevin enough and I (and Ziggy) look forward to utilizing his services again. A++”

“Chen has been a blessing! I was looking for a reliable dog walker for a while. Chen is great with my two large labradoodles who have a tendency to pull from time to time. She is always punctual and communicative when the schedule needs to change. I appreciate that she always sends pictures and updates of how the pups are doing and keeps me posted of their shenanigans like when they got into their wet food the other day. She even cleaned it up and put the food away for me. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pups I highly recommend Chen! She is great!”

“Our dog loves Allison! She immediately took to her upon meeting and it is clear that Allison is a great dog walker and a true dog lover. She is very reliable and able to accommodate our busy work schedules.”
About: I’m Mike and I love dogs! I grew up helping my mom train dogs for Guiding Eyes so I have experience with pups of every age, size, breed, and personality! Once I finished grad school, I volunteered at the local rescue organization which inspired me to foster puppies. I have always been a dog lover and this is a great opportunity to give back to my community, all the while meeting new furry friends! In addition to my personal and volunteer experience with dogs, I was a professional dog walker for ‘Reactive Rover’, which was a dog walking service specializing in exercising dogs that are high maintenance, anxious, or had other reactivity issues. I would work to get the pup I was walking comfortable, break down barriers, and work on various greeting skills. This helped my furry pals in addition to broadening my own experience and skills with dogs! When your dog is under my care, my number one priority is to make you both feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. I do that by giving the absolute best customer service possible. I’ll always follow your instructions to a “T” to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety. After all, no one knows your dog better than you do! We’ll always do what makes them the most happy, and I’m happy to go the extra mile for any pooch. Likewise, I love sending daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m always just a phone call away and can be reached any time in case any concerns or questions arise. I split time between Malvern, PA and Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. There are many parks around both locations! There is plenty of walking and green space as well around. My girlfriend Kristina is an avid dog lover and shows as much care and affection as I do anytime we care for someone’s beloved dog! We also volunteer at All 4 Paws Rescue in Malvern, PA! When I’m not pet sitting, I love playing sports, whether it be basketball at my gym or tennis outside! The beach is also a must during warmer weather. Your pup would be welcome to join me on any of these adventures! If I’m not outside being active, I am always spending time with my friends, going out to dinner, seeing a movie, or taking in a show. I also love lounging at my apartment on the couch with a good book/tv show! I work a hybrid role so many times I am working from home and when I do have to head out for meetings it is few and far between and my gf Kristina is always there to assist! In Malvern I have a small balcony but there is a gated dog park that is included in the complex - in Philadelphia we do not have a yard but are very close to Rittenhouse Square, Schuykill River Park, and many others!
About: I grew up with a dog in the family and now having my own family we have a beautiful golden retriever and he is definitely my companion. He makes our family whole. I work from home most days of the week- but I have off every Tuesday- so I am avail for most hours on Tuesday and hours after 5pm other days of the week. We walk our dog every time he needs to go out. We do have a fenced in back yard- but that is mainly for playing.
“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: Over 10 years for both me and my husband in raising younger dogs, adult aged, and even senior dogs for our entire lives! My skillset as elementary teacher has trained me well in patience, caring and all characteristics needed to provide for your pet family! Excited to meet your furry friends. Currently working from home/ home summer break as elementary teacher, so I can provide full time dog care! Spouse is also home often to assist and care for our guests. I have one dog of my own that loves company! We have no problem with the pets on the couch, in the bed, etc. I will send pictures periodically and not hesitate to contact of any emergencies.

“David took such good care of my dog this past weekend, when I brought Knuckles home he cried as if he missed him . David sent daily photos which made me so much more comfortable knowing that my dog was happy. I will definitely be a returning client.”
“Donte is awesome! I've never left Theo with anyone before, this is the first time Theo and I have been separated for more than 24 hrs. This time it was from Saturday to Tuesday. I was supposed to pick up Theo on Monday but I ended up catching tge flue and Donte was more than happy to watch Theo and extra day. On picking Theo up I could tell how happy he was with the care Donte provided. Thanks again Donte, you did an awesome job!”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“Michell did an excellent job of watching our ten year old dog! Our dog was very happy in his care. They were very attentive, giving him insulin twice a day, and sending daily updates and photos. Our dog scratched himself (not unlike him to do) and Michell cleaned the area, and even went to the store and bought our dog an e-collar to keep him from making it worse. Thanks so much, Michell!”
“Brian and his family took great care of my dog. She loved playing with his dogs in their big yard, and Brian sent photos and updates throughout. We’ll definitely book with him again!”
“It was my first time away from my dog and I was very worried if he will be in good hands, but Tamika made sure to keep me updated and assure me! I’m definitely rebooking.”
“Rebecca watched my 9 year old Aussie shepherd for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and I couldn’t recommend her more! She was attentive to her needs and provided lots of updates/pictures during the stay. I was anxious leaving my pup away for so long but Rebecca made my entire trip stress free by how well she cared for my dog! Will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Tim and Ally were great sitters for our girl Sadie! We were updated, sent photos and felt reassured that Sadie was enjoying her time while we were away. Will not hesitate to rebook.”
“I have officially found the best dog watcher ever. I can’t even say how comforted I felt having Christopher watch our dog. We have had issues with dog watchers before who say they are knowledgeable about dogs when they actually aren’t. Our dog has lots of energy and is also an extensive cuddles, so needs a lot of attention to say the least. Christopher is the first dog watcher we have had that actually understood that. He took our dog for multiple, miles long walks each day, and we were treated to wonderful pictures of our dog having cuddle sessions with Christopher. Our dog was sad, yes sad, when he came home with us because he missed Christopher, which to me is wonderful. It’s a sign that our dog actually got the love and attention we hoped he would have while we were away. We got multiple pictures a day of Marshall and constant updates about how he was. I one hundred percent will be using Christopher again, as he truly is knowledgeable about dogs needs and gives the dogs the love and attention they deserve!”
“First I used Sharna at the last minute on an holiday weekend and she and her family welcomed Poc and Poki with open arms and took them right into her home. She treated them as if they were her own. Sharna played with them and walked them every day. Poc and Poki were so happy there they didn’t want to leave when I picked them up. I would refer everyone to her if they want their pets cared for properly !”
“Megan was such an amazing sitter! We left our dog Franklin with her for an entire week and had zero issues. She sent plenty of photos and checked in regularly. We were able to enjoy our vacation with total peace of mind that our dog was safe and snuggled!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Marco was treated like a king. He was taken to the dog park regularly, given cuddles…when I picked him up, he gave Audrey a long, loving goodbye. I absolutely would use her again.”
“Tim was great! Took Billie on many walks and kept us updated the entire time we were away. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dogsittee”
“Gregory watched our mini golden for 6 days and was super communicative keeping us updated on how she was adjusting and sending lots of pictures. She had a great time”
“Emelie took great care of our dog Stanley for his first night away from us. She let us do a meet and greet and was able to answer our questions ahead of the stay. There were a couple of other dogs there which was great for Stanley, who is a very social pup. Her house is set up well for the dogs with a big yard and different rooms inside. We plan to bring Stanley back!”
“Sarah was so welcoming to our dog, Frankie, and she sent pictures throughout his stay. He had a blast running through her yard and playing with her dogs. Frankie will be back to stay with Sarah again!”
