“Crystal and her family took great care of our dog over the holidays. Her dog is friendly, and her backyard has a nice tall fence and plenty of room to run around. We appreciated Crystal's responsiveness and the cute pictures she took of our dogs playing together. Our dog seemed happy, and we would book with Crystal again.”
“Donna was a perfect match for my sweet elderly dog. I was tempted to not rate the stay, I don’t want everyone to know about her, she will get all booked up! She was amazing, sent pictures, kept in touch with me and eased my anxiety. She handled my girl and all her medication with ease. Will use her again!”
“Grace was phenomenal with our puppy. She is very attentive and I could tell she showed him so much love. This was the happiest he has been with a sitter thus far. Highly recommend!!”
“Charlie had a wonderful time with Clarice. She took her for walks cuddled with her and even let her sleep in the bed which she is accustomed to. We wouldn't hesitate to have Charlie spend time with her again.”
“Mags was fantastic! Very quick with communication. She was accommodating to my drop/pick up times. Her house was very clean and the dogs she had were very socialized I would not hesitate to choose her again. If you need a sitter for a well behaved dog, please consider Mags.”
“We had an amazing experience with Allina. She made the entire boarding process seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Our two pups, Luna and Zoe stayed with her for 5 nights while we traveled out of state, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Allina kept us updated throughout their stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make sure both our pups felt at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sahara & Santo were great! Sahara was able to watch our pup with only a few days notice, and she was so flexible with drop off and pick up times which was super appreciated! She also sent us photos while we were away which was great!”
“A million stars. Brigitte and Wrigley ( her dog) are the sweetest they welcomed Cooper In and made him family while we were put of town. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was super accommodating to our busy schedule for pick up and drop off time. I know who will be pur first call when we need someone to watch Cooper again!!”
“Adriana does a great job caring for my dog Canelo. Very attentive and makes me feel so comfortable leaving him. She updates me with photos, so it helps my anxiety when leaving my dog behind. This is the second time I book with her. Canelo always looks so happy”
“We would absolutely book with Olivia again! She took such great care of our mini long haired dachshund, was very friendly and prompt with communication, and was great about sending updates and pictures of our pup. Definitely highly recommend!”
“Lauren was great and very accommodating when my flights were cancelled/changed last minute. My dog seemed to be well taken care of and very comfortable at her home. Would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”
“Ceaira was awesome!! She took great care of my pup, sent me pictures + a summary each day. Sophie had the best time playing with her pup, Luna. She was super quick to communicate and really flexible with my schedule!!”

About: I have grown up with cats all of my life!! I am that person at a party who would rather hang out with the cat in the corner. I have two fur babies of my own that I love to death. The only worries you'll have with me are that I might snuggle your baby a little too much (if that is within their boundaries, of course).

“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter and would absolutely book with her again! She was very personable, trustworthy, and clearly has a genuine love for cats. She came for a meet-and-greet beforehand, and our cats warmed up to her almost immediately, which is rare for a couple of them. It was obvious she was very knowledgeable about cat behavior and care from her previous experience working at a cattery and cat shelter. During her visits, she cleaned the litter boxes, checked food and water, spent quality time with the cats, and sent us photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of the main reasons we hired her was to keep our cat Rufus company. He’s very social and tends to get lonely and bored when we’re gone. She made a point to cuddle and spend time with him, and it truly seemed to make a huge difference compared to times he’s been left alone without a visitor checking in. Knowing he was getting attention and affection meant so much to us. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and knowledgeable cat sitter!”
“Alexa was wonderful! We were out of the country and she provided updates and pictures upon each visit! Our kittens were well taken care of while we were gone. I would highly recommend Alexa! We will reach out to her anytime we travel. Thank you so much Alexa!”
“Mirella was wonderful! I needed a sitter last minute and she was so accommodating with all of my needs. I have a full house and my fur babes all need different things, and she made sure to fulfill them all! Highly recommend.”
“Joesiiah was an incredibly kind and wonderful pet sitter for our cats, including my old man senior cat. He was incredibly patient with their needs, and took great care of them. I loved getting the daily photos and check-ins. We came home to happy cats and a clean litter box. Would highly recommend!”
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”
“I cannot recommend Madeline highly enough! She took such wonderful care of my cat while I was away. I can tell how much my cat has gotten so comfortable with her, which says everything. There were a couple of unexpected accidents, and she handled them with such care, professionalism, and kindness. She kept me informed the entire time, cleaned everything up beautifully, and made sure my cat was comfortable and stress-free. She clearly has a genuine love for animals and went above and beyond to make sure my pet was safe, happy, and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in her hands. I will absolutely be booking with her again and am so grateful to have found someone so dependable and compassionate.”
“Katie was the best sitter for our cat! She did everything we asked for and made sure to play and love our cat every time she visited and sent us lots of amazing photos! I highly recommend booking Katie if you’re looking for a pet sitter!”
“Sahara did a great job taking care of my cat! My cat needs insulin twice a day at specific times and Sahara was very punctual. She also sent check in photos of my cat at each visit. I highly recommend if you are looking for a sitter.”
“Elizabeth was tremendous! Super quick to respond, detailed with her visit reports, and overall a very kind person - really helped us stay at ease while we were away. And our kitties were in great spirits when we got home! Thanks again Elizabeth!”
“Grace did a wonderful job with my fur baby boy! She is very trustworthy and dependable, I knew she would take great care of my cat. I will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter in the future. Thank you so much, Grace!”
“Reagan was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. Her visits were timely and reliable, and my cat warmed up to her right away. When I needed to make some last minute changes, Reagan was very helpful. I was very pleased with the experience and will be booking with her again.”
“Absolutely the BEST Pet Sitter on Rover! Gabby goes above and beyond! Gabby makes me feel confident that my precious cat is safe and properly cared for. Thank you so much Gabby! 🙏🏻❤️🥰”

“Amelia was an amazing sitter for my Kevin. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was also flexible with my schedule and great about communication. I will definitely be using Amelia in the future!!”
“We can’t thank Allina enough for taking such amazing care of our dogs, especially on such short notice. We were in a stressful situation trying to find someone last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was so patient, understanding, and treated our dogs with care. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and compassion. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Allina. We would absolutely book with her again when we are back 🩷!”
About: Hi, my name is Crystal. My family consists of my husband, my 6 year old, and our cat and dog! I have pet sitted plenty of times where i would go to the persons house to feed, let out, and water dogs and cats. I have also sitted puppies at my house for a max of 3 days. But will be happy to board for even up to a month! I do not care what age your dog or cats are I love all! I have a crate to bring out if need be and a fenced in back yard. If you have any questions of any kind please message me! Im currently working from home so I will have no problem caring for your fur baby's.

No holes or cracks or any chance or pets escaping. Ofcourse cats will be kept inside. I also do have an extra large crate that I can bring out if pets are used to or trained to be in the crate at night.
“Super sweet and accommodating with my dog. I had an unexpected trip to the ER and she came over to pick up my dog and watch her. She also has adorable pups that played with my dog and she always came back tired and ready to crash”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my baby! I know he is in good hands and I don't even have to worry if my baby is safe and being loved on. The fact that Weasley's tail becomes a super fast helicopter blade when he gets to the sitter tells me everything!”
“Hey everyone, Denise is the pet sitter you want for your pet babies! My dog Daisy was so excited to go to her home each day. Before we even got the truck stopped she would jump down to the floorboard ready to get out! Denise is so accommodating and we just felt safe leaving Daisy with her. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Angela always takes such good care of Bixby. We deeply appreciate the extra care and communication she gives regarding our small puppy. We're happy to rebook and trust he'll be well taken care of every time ❤️😁”
“Anthony was great! Quick response to daycare request and kept me updated with videos and pictures of Max. Max looked very happy and was nice and pooped when we got home! Definitely recommend!”
About: I love animals. I've had 2 dogs at all times for the last 22yrs. and a few cats. I live in a large 2 bdrm Apt with my 3 sweet Chihuahuas. I am a dog person and this is a dog house. Plenty of room for a few more to play with. My dogs are friendly. We have a dog park on the property. There are only small dogs here as it is a Senior Living. I will walk your dogs around the complex and they can safely play in dog park area. I'm retired for now and spend all my time with my dogs. Your pet will have all our attention. I am open and flexible to any special request you might have. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. I’m a full time dog Mom. When I wake up I am dressed and out the door walking with them. Then we. One home and eat breakfast. Playtime for a few hours inside and we go out again. I am very interactive with my dogs and any dogs I am sitting for. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment without the clutter so they can run around and out on patio. Outside for walks and at the dog playground.
About: Hello my name is Paige R. I’m a 22 year old college student at Texas State university. I have so much love for animals! I have been dog walking and sitting for a long time! I have had a lot of different animals through out my life, I’m very experienced with basically every type of animal. I am very responsible and trustworthy, I know it can be nerve wracking to trust a stranger with your fur baby. I can assure you there is nothing to worry about with me, your animal will be in great hands with me! If you are in need of an animal sitter, dog walker, etc. please reach out to me I would be more than happy to help you out and would love to get to spend time with your animals!! Can’t wait to meet yall’s babies! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily/weekly routine! I currently don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to care for animals. I do have classes Monday through Friday, but they’re flexible so I’m still free for those days. I live in a two bedroom apartment, my cat is friendly to dogs and other cats but can be separated if needed. My cat eats on routine schedule and has a catio connected to a window he can go out on to enjoy outside without being able to get away and while being kept safe. I don’t have a yard for a dog to play in but have a big patio and can walk your dog as much as needed.
“This was my first time having a babysitter, and I’m so glad we found Sahara! She was so accommodating and on top with communicating updates on Astrid. So grateful to have found her!”
“This was my second time using Stephanie and Rover, in less than a week, and once again I couldn’t be happier! Stephanie was so kind and understanding whenever I had questions or felt a little unsure, and she kept me updated whenever I asked. As a first-time Rover user, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter or experience. I’m so grateful for the care she showed and definitely hope to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was great with my senior Maltipoo. She did provide me with text messages and pictures of how Bela was doing. She was very reassuring that Bela would be fine. I felt very comfortable with her and her fur baby Jasmine who by the way was very calm and polite with Bela their new house guest. I will definitely continue to book with Danielle when she is available. Love the fact that she works out of her home, which is extremely clean, has a fenced big yard and when you walk into her home it has a warm welcoming feel. She only takes in one client at a time and this is what I wanted so my baby wouldn't be overwhelmed by too many other pets around. Oh, and a big plus is there are no children in her home. Thanks again Danielle for being there when we needed you.”
“Kalena and her other dog crew were fantastic. Watson is a bit older, this year he will be 11. He gets lots of walks at home but this gives him other dogs to interact with more to break up his routine. We appreciate your attention and care of him.”

“Tiffany is an excellent dog walker! Both my Rhodesian ridgeback and dachshund get so excited to see her for their walks! I would absolutely recommend Tiffany as a dog walker. She is kind, timely, and my dogs love her!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
“Her services were amazing and caring. Kept us communicated timely. We would love to use her service in the future and highly recommend as well. My dog, Yaga, loves Victoria!”
“Lindsey was great with Lili, very communicative, prompt, reliable and knowledgeable of the breed (French Bulldog). Will definitely be using her again in the future! :)”
About: My family has relied on me to to take care and watch over their dogs, whether it be playing with them, cooking for them, taking care of bath time, walks, or simply just someone to watch over them so they won't be alone. I care for my dogs like they are my own family, and I only would want to treat your precious furry friends and members of the family the same way. Im currently in between work, so im using this as a way to keep money coming in. My schedule is open 7 days week and I have a personal vehicle of my own. So if needed I can run errands and pick up any supplies your pets may need, and in case of emergency, you can count on me to bring your pet to a qualified veterinarian. Simply get with me to make the time frames you would want or need for the day of your choice. Am open to pet sitting for more than one day if needed so. And if your not comfortable with a sitter staying in your own home, im a perfectly capable to make constant check ups on your pets through the days your gone My dog is a rowdy and territorial Yorkie. But I love him all the same. A very playful dog who would bring you his toy for when he wanted playtime. My dog gets to have all the playtime he can have and enjoy long walks, while exploring new neighborhoods to mark. I give him foods he would need, along with his dry food that he has access to anytime of the day and I give him treats that are good for building up jaw strength and cleaning his teeth. While keeping his fur, and nails in check as well, once every two weeks. To ensure no grass or stickers get stuck in his hair during his walks. Overall my Yorkie, has loyalty and love for me, as I do for him. I take care of and pet sit my uncles dogs, one is a retriever border collie mix, and the other is a husky. Both dogs are females and have two completely different personalities, one has energy to play at all times of the day, while the other likes to have attention and belly rubs. I've taken care of these dogs ever since they were pups, and they have impressed on me and always love when I visit them. My uncle trust me to watch over his dogs even when gone for weeks at a time.

I provide full-time care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. During the day, I make sure your pup stays happy, active, and comfortable. We go on multiple walks (as long as needed!), enjoy playtime in my yard, take breaks for cuddles and rest, and stick to any feeding or medication schedules you provide. I also offer overnight care and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing.

I closely monitor pets at all times and never leave them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also keep in touch with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember! My love for animals came from living with my grandmother, who never went without at least a few cats & dogs in her house. I always give the babies the best treatment that they deserve. Although I have never had professional experience, I am the go-to pet sitter for all my friends and family, and I have two fur babies of my own! I'm open to all animals but I have the most experience with: - Cats of all ages - Small Dogs I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated from college. That said, I have plenty of free time and am willing to work around YOUR schedule. I have two cats of my own and spend pretty much all of my day playing with them, and I keep them on a strict feeding schedule. I will follow any rules that you may have for your own animal, and I promise to keep them on their routine while you're away.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11 years old, coming to college was hard without them. They’ve been family to me, taking care of other dogs brings me closer to home! I’m currently on summer break, my availability and flexibility is unlimited! I’m willing to work around your schedule to best fit the needs of your dogs! I currently live alone in a apartment, I’m able to cater to the needs of your pet with whatever that might be! There’s also a dog park located at my apartment complex!
“Due to medical reasons, I'm unable to walk my highly energetic two-year-old Husky mix. Valerie has been coming three times a week to walk Artemis, and she's amazing! Artemis warmed up to her quickly and really looks forward to her visits now. She's always super excited to leave and worn out by the time they get back (at least as much as a Husky can be!). Valerie is always on time and highly communicative, so I never worry when Artemis is with her. I would recommend Valerie ten times over!”
About: Hi! I’m Mirella, a Texas State University student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve owned and cared for pets for over 8 years and have experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m currently the proud owner of a cat. I’ve pet-sat for friends with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Anatolian Shepherds and Pit Bull mixes to Dachshunds and Maltese—and have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Years of caring for animals have taught me patience, responsibility, and confidence working with pets of all temperaments. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. In my free time, you’ll usually find me running, hiking, or spending the day at the river, so I’m always excited to get outside with energetic pups. Whether your pet enjoys long walks and adventures or prefers relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and am happy to work with you to schedule walks and drop-in visits that fit your pet’s routine. Whether they need a quick potty break, playtime, or a long walk, I’m here to help! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, administering medications, exercise, and any special requests. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments and will always treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’m a very calm, gentle, and attentive caregiver, and I’m especially good with small dogs, senior pups, and shy or sensitive dogs who need someone patient and soft-spoken. My own dog, a sweet 15-lb Chiweenie mix, has taught me how to read body language, support anxious pups, and create a peaceful, predictable routine. I focus on drop-in visits because I want your dog to stay in the environment where they feel safest. I follow your instructions closely and pay attention to the small details — feeding, medications, special routines, slow sniff-walks, favorite toys, emotional needs, and anything that helps your dog feel secure while you’re away. I’m also very communicative. You’ll get photos, updates, and quick responses, so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to give your dog gentle, loving care and give you peace of mind. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to make time for drop-in visits throughout the day. I already take my own small dog out regularly for walks, feeding, and attention, and I’m used to structuring my day around pet needs. It’s important to me that animals feel cared for and not rushed, so I plan visits in a way that allows for calm, unhurried attention and plenty of connection. Since I offer drop-in visits, my focus is on caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walk preferences, training cues, and any house rules you want maintained. I’m very mindful of safety: I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses, stay alert on walks, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a calm, comforting presence. I treat your home with respect and leave everything exactly as I found it.
About: Growing up we have always had dogs in the family and my first job was at a doggy care for a little over a year making sure that everyone’s loved ones were taken care of while they are away. I am currently working two days a week and will have plenty of time for your pups along with being able to make sure they are able to use the restroom as they need. I make sure of the dos and don’ts before staying at my clients home and what they are comfortable with their dog doing and where the dog is allowed.
“Blayre has been terrific with our dogs. They both were so excited to see her and loved their walks. She was fantastic with the dogs and she even picked up the yard where the dogs had torn up one of their toys. We highly recommended Blayre for services.”
About: Hi, I'm Reilly! I started working for Rover in May 2019 and have enjoyed all of the cuties I've had the pleasure to meet! Taking excellent care of your four-pawed pets is my priority. There was never a time growing up where my family didn't have the pleasure of owning pets. As I got older I began house sitting for many of my neighbors, family and church friends (dogs, cats, turtles, chickens). It became something I truly enjoyed and learned from. I'm more than happy to accommodate to your animal's needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for when you are not around to do so. I am available both weekends and weekdays, although I do attend school and work another job during the day.
About: Boarding: Hello! My dog, Norman, and I would love to have your beloved fur baby stay with us. I have a large, fenced-in yard with lots of room for playing and running around. I have over 10 years of experience caretaking for pets, and animals are an important part of my life. At this time, I'm only accepting one dog at a time so that I can ensure your pup gets the most care and attention. ***Your dog MUST be on flea meds. I will not take any dog that has fleas. Thanks for understanding.*** We look forward to meeting you! Walking and Drop-ins: I'm attentive & caring, and your dog's safety is my priority. I'll take good care of your pets while you're at work! I'm good at reading and respecting the dog's energy. I know that it can take time to gain a dog's trust, especially as a new person. We can take things slowly if necessary. I work from home, so I'm available the majority of the day. If I leave, it's usually only to run a quick errand. During summer, we would not be outside too long unless you request a river play date. For dog sitting: I have a large, wooden-fenced yard and one small, male neutered dog. He is very friendly + energetic and loves playing with other dogs. Water is always available and plenty of space for relaxing. For walking and drop-ins: Safety is number one priority. Always leashed up and scanning for potential distractions.
“Krystal is amazing!! Champ has grown very fond of her real quick. He waits to go for his walks now. She is very professional, reliable, always on time, deals with champ patiently and lovingly. She is very easy to work with too. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter for their dogs.”
About: Hi! I go by Kimberly! I’m an attentive and reliable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve helped care for my neighbor’s husky, Speed, for the past two years and also pet sat a friend’s Nebelung cat, Luna, for about four months. I love taking Speed on park trips, hikes, and even Dutch Bros coffee runs! Luna is much more low maintenance — feed her, play with her a little, give her attention, and she’s perfectly happy lounging around nearby. I also have experience caring for pets with specific dietary and health needs, including preparing meals for a pet with iron deficiency and kidney disease. I genuinely enjoy animals of all kinds and always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a full-time undergraduate student with a remote part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I have a lot of free time and genuinely enjoy caring for animals—especially shelter pets—as it’s one of my favorite hobbies. Hi! If you’re looking for a reliable and flexible pet sitter, I’m your girl. I have experience crate training client dogs and I strictly follow leash-walking rules in public to ensure the safety of pets, pedestrians, and vehicles. I currently care for a very energetic and friendly dog (the husky on my profile). While he loves to greet everyone and can get excited around smaller animals, I consistently reinforce calm, gentle behavior to make sure all interactions are safe and stress-free.

“Crystal and her family took great care of our dog over the holidays. Her dog is friendly, and her backyard has a nice tall fence and plenty of room to run around. We appreciated Crystal's responsiveness and the cute pictures she took of our dogs playing together. Our dog seemed happy, and we would book with Crystal again.”

“Mags was fantastic! Very quick with communication. She was accommodating to my drop/pick up times. Her house was very clean and the dogs she had were very socialized I would not hesitate to choose her again. If you need a sitter for a well behaved dog, please consider Mags.”
“We had an amazing experience with Allina. She made the entire boarding process seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Our two pups, Luna and Zoe stayed with her for 5 nights while we traveled out of state, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Allina kept us updated throughout their stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make sure both our pups felt at home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sahara & Santo were great! Sahara was able to watch our pup with only a few days notice, and she was so flexible with drop off and pick up times which was super appreciated! She also sent us photos while we were away which was great!”
“A million stars. Brigitte and Wrigley ( her dog) are the sweetest they welcomed Cooper In and made him family while we were put of town. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was super accommodating to our busy schedule for pick up and drop off time. I know who will be pur first call when we need someone to watch Cooper again!!”
“Adriana does a great job caring for my dog Canelo. Very attentive and makes me feel so comfortable leaving him. She updates me with photos, so it helps my anxiety when leaving my dog behind. This is the second time I book with her. Canelo always looks so happy”
“Celeste was great. We had our 1.5 year old schnauzer stay with her for two nights. She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We will try and have her watch our pup again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Anne & Sébastien took excellent care of our fur baby chewy! They sent wonderful pictures and updates all throughout the day, and they were SO kind to take him on evening walks, which he absolutely LOVES, every day so that he could have a good nights sleep😊 we hope to see them again in the near future and we highly recommend them to others!!”
“We left our pup, Maple with Maricela for 3 weeks! Maricela provided the most amazing care for her! Maple had a blast running around in her backyard with her sweet pups, playing long games of fetch, going on lengthy walks, and getting lots of attention and snuggle time. Maricela communicated and sent photos regularly and I didn't have a worry in the world! Maple came home happy and healthy!”
