Personalized care for your dog or cat - Syracuse
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Syracuse
“We were so happy with Ruby’s care while we were gone for a prolonged period. They kept us up to date with pictures and their dog thankfully loved to play with Ruby and kept her busy and worn out. They shared toys, walked her, and let her snooze close by which really are Ruby’s favorite things. We would unquestionably choose Ashley and Michael again for Ruby’s care.”

“Kimberly did a fantastic job! She went above and beyond to care for our pup including treating an ear infection, giving him lots of snuggles, and making him a new tag. He acted comfortable and right at home from the get go. Would love to have him with her family again!”
“Ashley was amazing! She sent updates and photos throughout the day the whole time we were gone and was very accommodating with Olivia’s special needs as an old dog. I would absolutely book with her again!!”
“Daisy really liked staying with Dashia. She was excited to see me when I picked her up but day after she has a bit sadness from missing her new dog friends and humans. Dashia was very accommodating with my flight situation and I appreciate her understanding. She did a great job with Daisy.”
“Elise did such a good job with my puppy! Our cute little furball came home happy and very well loved. Not only did her kids give her lots of attention (which is just like home), but our puppy got lots of interaction with their dog too, which was really helpful for her socializing. We knew she was in good hands! And as an added perk, Elise even sent a picture and video of our puppy playing in the snow. Too cute! Thank you, Elise! We will definitely be returning!”

“Alicia and Mikel were amazing sitters! Firstly they took our dog at the very last minute, the same day I started looking. They were willing to watch my difficult dog after a meet and greet, which was great as he is a rescue and has some issues with strangers. Every day they sent updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease, as this is the first time he's been away from us since we got him. They were even flexible with the booking date as I came home early. I will definitely be using them again when I need to go out of town. I really appreciate the professionalism and the care of my baby.”
“We had such a great experience! They were so kind and easy to work with, and they took amazing care of our dog while we were away. They kept up with regular walks, sent thoughtful updates, and really helped us feel at ease the whole time. We’re so grateful for them and would absolutely book again!”

They were always great about checking in and out on visits, provided plenty of photos showing how comfortable my cats were with them there, followed instructions well, and provided helpful feedback. Our two cats are very special to us so it was comforting to know they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would rebook in the future when needed. Thanks ladies!”
“Caitie is great! She did an excellent job taking care of our cats. One of our cats is very skittish and hides the whole time anyone new is around. She was out of hiding and playing with Caitie by day two, which is completely unheard of. Caitie kept our place very clean and was excellent at communicating with us. 10/10 highly recommend”

“As expected Ariah did a fantastic job checking on the pups and getting them exercise. She was detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures, Ariah communicated incredibly well.”
About: I have cared for many friends, family, and co-workers' pets over the years. I love animals (even bugs, lizards, and birds) and am always willing to keep them safe and from being lonely. I am currently unemployed but walk many dogs during the week. Please message me the date and time needed, and I will check my calendar. I currently walk dogs for multiple clients during the week. If your dog can go without a break for up to 4 hours, I can easily fit them in my schedule. I love taking dogs for walks or even just chilling in the yard.
“John takes terrific care of Our Lennon. Gives him attention when Lennon, wants it. He takes him for walks outside on his leash to get the exercise and, make sure that he eats OK on schedule. He’s definitely a great animal care person.”
About: While I didn’t grow up with cats of my own, I have become the go-to cat sitter for friends and neighbors who need a trusted pair of hands. I absolutely love getting to know different cat personalities—from the social butterflies who want immediate chin scratches to the shy sweethearts who just need some quiet space. I know that cats are creatures of habit, so I strictly follow your routine for feeding, fresh water, and litter box scooping. Whether your cat wants an active playtime session with a feather wand or just a calm human presence around the house, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away!
“Jackie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She was willing to meet before our trip so I could go over some of their specific needs. She was so sweet and I felt assured they would be in good hands. When she dropped in each day, she was sure to send pictures and videos of them while we were gone and texted any questions that came up. Her kids played with them and they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Desiree was absolutely phenomenal with our two cats. It was clear from the start how much of an animal person she is, and we were super confident leaving our babies in her care. She sent great updates (and some really amazing pictures of them) and was an excellent communicator through the whole process. Will definitely be booking her again - can't recommend enough!”
“Lexi was wonderful caring for my sweet kitty! I received lots of pictures and a summary of what they did each visit. She was timely, answered any questions I had, and I was assured my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend her!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Syracuse
“Ashley and Michael were incredible. We were super late getting back from our event and they were super accommodating. Thin Mint was properly tired out and ready for bed by the time we picked him up. Great experience, I will definitely be bringing Thin Mint back!”
“Ashley was amazing with my little Penny! She let her outside every hour, and always kept her busy. She sent me pictures all day, and her dog Blue was so sweet for my pup to play with! Her kids were absolutely adorable and loved playing with Penny! Will definitely go back!”
About: I love animals and have had furry friends in my family for the last 20 years. Right now we have a cute Cardigan Welsh Corgi named Dublin. He has lots of energy and loves playing with other dogs! If your pet needs some play time, they will get plenty of love from me and my two kiddos. I treat all animals with love and respect, and I will try to give you and your pet the best experience possible. I understand how pets become a part of the family, and I will always treat them like my own. I'm a stay at home mom to my two kids and our puppy Dublin! We're home most of the day and we would love for your doggos to come play with us! We have a fenced yard for dogs to run around. They can also play inside with us, we're home most of the time. We usually crate dogs overnight.
“We just picked up our puppy! It looked like he had a great time! Antoinette sent us pictures each day and a video of puppy playing! They had all his supplies packed up and helped load our car! Thank you for taking such good care of Rufus!!”
“What an amazing, kind and caring family! My high energy 2 yr old was absolutely exhausted after pick up & mentally fulfilled! Communication was great, their house is prepared for a dog to be well taken care of and they are very knowledgeable in what they do & provide. I would absolutely recommend and most likely use their services again!”
About: I have offered sitting services for the past 12 years for family and friends. Looking to expand my small business. I will provide play time, walking, and feeding on the pups or kitty’s schedule. I work full time in a hybrid situation so your fur baby will possibly need to be alone for part of the day. I recently moved to a new position that requires me to go in office at times during the weekdays. Weekends, later afternoons, evening, overnights and most holidays, will be free to be available to stay full time with pet or pets. I have experience with other animals also such as Ducks, Chickens, Fish and reptiles. Please let me know if you require these services. Price will depend on care instructions. I try to be as flexible and reasonable with these costs. I work well dogs who have separation anxiety and need the comfort of a human most of the day. My pets are part of the family and yours will be treated as a member of the household during their stay. If I tend at your home will my small dog be permitted to be with me? I do ask that you please advise me prior to the sit if it’s not in dogs or cats best interest for him to be there.. While my lil pup is never far from momma, we understand either way.
About: I've been pet sitting since I was very young! Friends and family have trusted me with their fur babies, and I love having them around in my home! I am a full time mom and have 1 child under the age of 4 who adores pets and we have a small pup. I will be home all day to ensure all are safe and taken care of! I have a small front area that is fenced and will be able to take a walk to a bigger area for more play time if needed.
About: Before I was even able to walk pets have been my passion! I started grooming my grandmother's poodles and Maltese mixes at 8 years old and became quite good at it. Later in life I worked at a grooming salon with both dogs and cats. My most recent job was at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I learned a LOT about animal safety, as well as animal behavior and first aid. I plan on returning to work in the veterinary field once my little one is older. I've been the proud owner of all kinds of breeds of dogs, cat, gerbils and reptiles. I have trained my own dogs since they were puppies and have also owned senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, including paralysis and wheelchair users. I grew up with dogs that needed consistant oral medication as well as a diabetic dog that I would give insulin injections to daily. My husband is absolutely wonderful with animals and loves them as well, however I will be their main caretaker. We both strive to make sure youre satisfied with your pets care. My goal is to keep your animals in a safe and loving environment so that you don't need to worry about them while away. It's hard leaving your pets, but I hope that I can help ease that difficulty by gaining your trust and giving you a secure temporary home for your fur babies. I currently stay at home with my baby, my schedule is open all week at any time. My husband also works from home, so we are both always home. We have a large, fenced backyard that our two dogs love playing in. We have a black lab and a medium sized mixed breed Staffordshire Terrier. They're both trained, dog friendly and cat friendly. We also have two cats that are both cat and dog friendly. Our cats are not allowed outside. Our home is separated with two gates at each end of the staircase leading upstairs. Cats and smaller dogs are welcome both up and downstairs (whichever they prefer). Our own pups, both being a bit bigger, have everything they need on the first level, which is generally where we are. We have a 5 year old, which you can see in our photos, who has always been taught to treat animals with respect. He is well aware of animal behavior and safety. We also have a 7 month old. New animals in our home will never be left unattended with our animals to ensure safety. Your pet will never be left home unattended as either my husband or I are always here.
About: I grew up taking care of all kinds of animals, I’ve raised 3 puppies and have watched many older dogs too! I have a dog of my own and I got her when she was only a few months old, she is now a year and a month. I can tell when something is bothering a dog or if they start to feel sick, I am willing to do minor training sessions with you dog every time they come over for a playdate! Willing to crate/kennel train. I go to school Mon-Fri 12pm-4:30pm! I’m off all day on the weekends. I love ALL dogs, I do have a small allergy but my love for dog care does not stop me I just take allergy pills! I can only watch or walk dogs mostly on weekends but ask me about weekdays. If you’re able to drop your animal off to me and pick them up before school I can watch them during those times as well. All trash is always thrown out or placed in the trash bins with lids or bathroom with door closed. So that means your pup will not be getting into anything they are not supposed to. I highly recommend bring some of your pets own toys so they have something to comfort them. When watching dogs I will be fully attentive at all times, I will give dogs rest time so please provide a crate/kennel (if you don’t have one we will find a safe place for your pup to rest!) rest time will be anywhere between 45mins- 2 hours. If your dog has a potty schedule, feeding schedule, medications please write me a note with all the important information. When your dog or cat stays with me we will be playing a lot and you’ll be happy to see your dog/ cat happy, healthy, tired, clean, full, hydrated, and just 100% bliss. We have no kids or cats or other animals other than our 15lbs ASD/ Jack Russel Terrier mix. If you have any more questions you may text me! (Cats and other dogs on my profile are my pets who my exes ended up keeping)
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, and that’s shaped me into someone who shows up for them especially the ones who can’t advocate for themselves. Over the years I’ve helped stray cats, done dog runs for rescues, participated in pulling dogs from kill shelters, and volunteered at local organizations where I take neglected or anxious dogs out for walks and hikes to help them decompress. Caring for animals isn’t a hobby for me; it’s something I’ve always felt responsible for. What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of hands-on experience, patience, and calm confidence with animals of all backgrounds. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure, senior pets who require a gentler approach, and animals who come with trauma or nervous behaviors. I pay attention to body language, adjust my pace to each pet’s comfort level, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be treated with the same compassion and commitment I bring to every animal I’ve ever helped. Caring for others is already at the center of my life. I work full time taking care of my three little kids, and I build my days around making sure my kids and animals get the attention, structure, and care they need. When I’m looking after an animal, they’re fully integrated into that routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, quiet time, or any special instructions you have. I have a genuine passion for helping those who need a little extra support, so I’m used to adjusting my schedule to meet each animal where they are. Whatever your pet requires, I make sure it fits smoothly into the flow of my day so they feel safe, cared for, and part of the family while they’re with me. When I care for pets in my home, they have plenty of space and stimulation throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where they can run, play, and explore safely. There are always toys and treats available, and my two friendly dogs provide great company for any visiting pup. My three kids also love helping out and make sure your fur child gets lots of attention. I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that helps each pet feel at ease. I will follow your instructions closely feeding schedules, routines, quirks, and any special needs so your pet’s routine stays consistent.
“Julie was willing to be flexible with us on time for drop off and pick up which was so helpful because we had never done a day at Lagoon and didn't really know what we were getting into. My dog seemed very happy and content after and he typically has a lot of separation anxiety so that was so wonderful to see.”
“Connie is such a sweetheart who took such great care of my sweet little boy. He’s lived a life and can be nervous in new places, but her sweet self and her fun little pup Patty helped Toby settle right in and enjoy a fun filled day! I’m excited to rebook with Connie to help my little guy get more comfortable in our new town!!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid—whether it was walking neighborhood dogs, pet sitting for friends and family, or volunteering with rescues. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits right in! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and on their usual routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, and of course—plenty of love and attention. I keep things clean and tidy, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.
About: I am first aid and CPR certified in animals. I have experience in a vet office, daycare, boarding, and grooming. I know how to administer vaccinations and also diabetic insulin shots. Your pet(s) will always come first. I have many references as well. Feel free to ask any and all questions. I believe animals are a part of our family and I will do anything it takes to make sure the animals are healthy and happy. I don't discriminate against any breeds whatsoever. I was a supervisor at a daycare, grooming and boarding facility. I am medically obsessed with dogs and love cats as well. I don't mind taking care of other exotic pets as well. You will never have to worry about the safety of your animals when they are in my hands. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a task, it feels like joy! I build my schedule around pet care to ensure every pet gets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can provide consistent, timely visits and adapt easily to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday walks, evening meds, or just extra snuggles, I’m happy to make their comfort and happiness my priority. In my home or yours, pets are treated like family. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel secure and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means specific feeding times, administering medications, play sessions, or quiet time. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and attentive to details like changes in behavior or appetite. In a client’s home, I respect your space and routines, keeping everything clean and tidy while giving your pets the consistent care they’re used to. I love sending updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.
“Our dog had a great time with Jessica! He seemed to have a great day and was happy and tired when we picked him up. She helped answer our questions/concerns, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. Definitely will book again in the future!”
“Jana was amazing! She took such good care of my rambunctious little golden doodle puppy while we were away. She went above and beyond by sending me videos and pictures throughout the day. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my puppy was in great care. My little Harley came home happy and exhausted from all the play ❤️ I highly, highly recommend Jana!”
“Anna is amazing! Last week was our first week and Ash was so comfortable with her! She took him on walks and he bonded with her! It made for an easier transition back into the office life.”

“I’ve used Kara for walks and boarding for my two dogs. Due to being a single dog mom with little access to help from friends or family, finding Kara has been a blessing! She handles my pups so well! She even has brought in packages on my porch if I’m not home. She goes above and beyond!”
“Brianna and her sister are amazing! Milo loves going for walks with them and I know him and my cats are in good hands. They are super reliable, quick to respond and very sweet. I always love to see the pictures of how their walk went and how my kitties are doing. I would recommend then to anyone looking for a great walker/sitter!”

If you would like some training while you are gone I can do that as well. We can talk specifics if you need training.
“5/5, 10/10, 100/100 - Damn she's good! Dashia knows just how to handle Bowzer... After a long hard walk with her, it's nap time! :) When life gets busy, but your little fella still needs a good, long, and rewarding romp in the hills, there's nobody better than Dashia!”
About: I’ve taken care of small animals(hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc), reptiles, dogs and cats since 2007, I am an animal lover who has a veterinary assistant certification. All animals welcome(even if they don’t show an option, reach out if you have hamsters/gerbils/mice/rats/birds/reptiles I am on admin leave from the IRS because of the RIFs. I am available any time for walks and pet sitting. Any schedule is fine If my client has a fenced in yard, I’ll let pets out into the yard play with them outside, cleaning up as needed. If no fenced in yard a long walk to make sure they have their exercise based on what each dog is willing and able to do.
“Kiersten is ALWAYS awesome! She’s always able to work with my schedule and has been great to work with with my puppy since the very beginning. She’s intuitive and adjusts well to situations like sick dogs.”
About: I have been watching dogs for around 6 years and have been reliable to many clients to take the best care of their animals. I usually walk the animals along with spending the night if needed and will spend long hours with the pets. I currently am a full time student at Weber so in the evenings I have a lot of free time. I don’t have any set times or days so I can work around schedules pretty easily. I have a fenced backyard and a doggy door so my dogs can roam around freely as they please. I take one of my dogs on walks and the other one I play fetch with to make sure they get exercise they need.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. i love to help people and animals. I have 10 years of experience with dogs and other animals like cats, fishes, and even chickens! I'm currently working part time and going to cosmetology school for my license! I have a bit of time on my hands and would love to spend that with your animals! i have experience with puppies, elder, kittens and dogs with disabilities! I live in an apartment with a dog park and lots of grass and play space! I don't have any dogs or cats as of now.
“Kiana has been a genuine gift to our family. We started with her about six months ago for our 14-year-old miniature schnauzer/French bulldog mix, Lucy — and over that time she became so much more than a dog walker. As Lucy’s health declined, Kiana adapted without hesitation — adjusting pace, duration, and handling — and never made us feel like we were asking too much. What stands out most is how much she genuinely cared. You can tell the difference between someone who likes dogs and someone who sees your dog. Kiana saw Lucy. She was patient with her on the slow days, gentle when Lucy needed it most, and flexible with our schedules in ways that took real stress off our family during a really hard season. We’re grateful as a family for every walk she gave our girl. If you have a senior dog or one with changing needs, Kiana is exactly who you want in your corner.”
“Arielle was prompt in her communication and arrival. Her thorough report back after finishing her walk with Ayla was very appreciated. Wonderful first experience with Rover and Arielle.”
About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life. Ever since I was little I was taking care of them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and playing with them. I love spending time with dogs and playing around with them. At one point, I had 4 dogs in my house growing up, so I can handle if you have a few pets. Ive had older dogs and puppies, so I’m experienced in taking care of both. Right now, I have open availability. I’m available to drop by when needed or stay as long as I need to ensure your pets are properly taken care of. The apartment I’m living at is currently pet free, but growing up I had a fenced in back yard for our pets to run around in. We also would put them in their crate when we needed to go somewhere. I also have dog sat for people who did not have a fence, so when it came time for the dogs to go outside, I would put them on a leash.
About: Hi, I’m Ainsley! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with paws—giving me firsthand experience raising energetic puppies, keeping up with active adult dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care to sweet senior dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for family members, treating their fur babies exactly like my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy brisk walk, a slow and sniff-filled stroll, or just some extra patience and TLC, I’ve got you covered. I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite walking buddy! I have a fairly open schedule while school is out for the summer! I’m available most mornings for check-ins and walks, and most evenings for over night care. I’m willing to adapt to any space! I have plenty of experience with all types of animals, and am confident that I can care for yours.
About: Hi! I’m a newlywed who loves dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have lots of experience caring for multiple dogs both in my home and in clients’ homes, and I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I know routines, reading cues, and giving calm, loving attention makes pets feel happy and safe while you’re away. I also work with kids, so I totally get that your pets are like your little ones! I work around 25 hours a week, which means I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and spoil your pups. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but I would be so excited to spend time with yours at home or out on a fun walk! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets happy and active throughout the day. I love bringing fun, energy, and consistency into each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine so they feel comfy and relaxed. We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love in their favorite space. I keep things fun, calm, and consistent while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am returning to Rover! I moved to UT in late 2024. I have since gotten married, started work, and established my life here, so it’s time to start pet sitting again! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was ten years old. For me, I really just love hanging out with animals and I am so glad that using Rover allows me to do just that! I will spend time playing, feeding, walking, and chilling with your pet! I am very comfortable with medication administration, special needs pets, and have a genuiene ability to connect with all dogs and cats. I really don't do this for money, I do this because I know how stressful it is to leave your pets with someone, and I want to make sure people get the care that I would want my own pets to receive! I work in Farmington from 8 AM- 5:00 PM Monday- Friday. During the week, it would be best for me to be with a dog who can be alone for at least 4 hours so I can go to work, let them out/ hang out during my lunch break, and then go back to work. Once I am off work I will not go anywhere. Also, my weekends are completely free, but I am happy to do stays during the week as long as you’re comfortable with my work schedule/ my going to work during the day. I Would love to hang out with your pet and provide them top notch care! I make sure to pay special attention to each pet I take care of, making sure they feel loved and safe when they are around me. I like to make sure that they get their exercise in as well! Not all pets need the same things. With my dogs, one just needs someone to sit with but the other needs someone to run around with. All dogs are unique so its important to me that I provide unique care based on their needs. Whether that is extra walks, extra pets, extra cuddles, or playing music during the day!
About: Pets are members of our family, and our family deserves to be taken care of. I absolutely adore animals, I have pets of my own, and they are my whole world. I have an adorable Maltese named Fizzgig and a Black Cat named Thackery Binx. Prior to this dog, I had a Maltese named Tinkerbell. I just want to be able to care for other animals as I have cared for mine. We all have responsibilities that keep us away from home most days, and we want to be sure our little fur babies are well-cared for in our absence. I can promise you that I will provide to their every need, and maybe even spoil them a little bit! I’m a published author, and I spend way too much time locked up inside writing. I need to get out and walk and have a break from the soul-sucking experience of sitting in front of the screen all day. I hate sitting idle. I have too much energy. Dogs have too much energy. It's a perfect match! I need something else to keep me moving in a day, and playing with precious animals seems like the perfect job! I can crate or leash dogs to ensure they will not run away, and if your cat is exclusively a house cat, I am well accustomed to keeping those quick felines from darting outdoors.
“Liz has been great with Vega. It took a couple visits for Vega to be comfortable with Liz as she does not like strangers or people in general! Vega is now letting Liz walk, pet, and cuddle with her!”
“We were so fortunate to find Emma on Rover. We moved to an apartment in March and needed her to walk and exercise our 2 dogs. Our girls as I call our dogs love her. Emma is also a dog trainer and I appreciate how she does it with patience and kindness. Bailey our Golden Retriever pulled on her lease and it was difficult for me to keep holding on. Emma taught her to walk without pulling and it’s made a big difference. Emma also taught other commands. My girls now walk and play without being stimulated by other dogs. She is the best!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds since I was about 10. I have done everything from walking, feeding, playing, and giving medications by mouth. I am a stay at home mom with my first baby! I am pretty open and available to most times through out the week! I will be sure to keep my calendar updated with my availability. I have a huge fenced in yard, the fence is 5 ft tall. I have two dogs that are very friendly (Tav and Trooper) they love to play, and a cat (Jett) who loves to relax. I am able to keep your little friend company with no worries at all.
“Kaylee is wonderful, she came and met my dog free of charge beforehand and spent time getting familiar with her. She is very communicative and reliable. Her love for animals is very clear. Thanks Kaylee!”

“We were so happy with Ruby’s care while we were gone for a prolonged period. They kept us up to date with pictures and their dog thankfully loved to play with Ruby and kept her busy and worn out. They shared toys, walked her, and let her snooze close by which really are Ruby’s favorite things. We would unquestionably choose Ashley and Michael again for Ruby’s care.”
“I love all the attention that my puppies received and the interaction between her daughter ??and how well they are with her as well!! My puppies wouldn’t hurt a fly Rebecca is the best and I wouldn’t take them to anyone else ? I really enjoy the pictures she send out Thanks so much”
“Kara was amazing! She took pictures of our dog regularly and sent us updates. He was well cared for and had a great time with the other dogs in the house. I felt at ease leaving our dog with her!”
“Antoinette always does an excellent job at watching our dog! She was very flexible when our plane came in later than expected, and our dog always seems less anxious about staying there then other places!”
“Ashley was amazing! She sent updates and photos throughout the day the whole time we were gone and was very accommodating with Olivia’s special needs as an old dog. I would absolutely book with her again!!”
“Daisy really liked staying with Dashia. She was excited to see me when I picked her up but day after she has a bit sadness from missing her new dog friends and humans. Dashia was very accommodating with my flight situation and I appreciate her understanding. She did a great job with Daisy.”
“It was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angelia took amazing care of Piper and kept me at ease the whole time. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her!”
“Mellisa was wonderful, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of my dog. The minute we got there, my dog and hers were happily playing and I knew it was going to be great! I would 100% recommended!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jason and Bridget watch our Jax while we were traveling! It’s so nice knowing he’s taken care of and loved on while we’re gone! We love the updates we get and Jax always comes home a tired boy from all the play!”
“Alicia and Mikel were amazing sitters! Firstly they took our dog at the very last minute, the same day I started looking. They were willing to watch my difficult dog after a meet and greet, which was great as he is a rescue and has some issues with strangers. Every day they sent updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease, as this is the first time he's been away from us since we got him. They were even flexible with the booking date as I came home early. I will definitely be using them again when I need to go out of town. I really appreciate the professionalism and the care of my baby.”
“We had such a great experience! They were so kind and easy to work with, and they took amazing care of our dog while we were away. They kept up with regular walks, sent thoughtful updates, and really helped us feel at ease the whole time. We’re so grateful for them and would absolutely book again!”
“LINDSEY IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. It’s never easy to trust a stranger with your fur baby, especially when you know your pup better than anyone and know their different quirks, along with if they struggle with separation anxiety. First off, meeting Lindsey she is sooo sweet & has the most warm loving energy. I have strong intuition when it comes to people and can always tell whether or not something seems off, but as soon as she opened the door to meet & greet us, I knew that my dog Daisy would not only be completely safe, but especially LOVED. Lindsey was the best communicator, provided updates, cute pictures & it was honestly the first vacation we were able to relax knowing Daisy was having her own fun vacation absolutely loving Lindseys dog becoming instant best friends. The only negative thing I need to warn others about… is your dog will not want to leave once it’s time to go home with you after how much fun and happy their time has been there.😂❤️🫶😅❤️😍 10/10 ABSOLUTELY WILL BE BOOKING WITH HER FOR ALL OUR UPCOMING TRIPS. Best service and best family you can trust & count on to leave your fur babies with 🥹🙌👏”
“Marina was our saving grace! We had to get a new sitter while already out of state! Rover support took over and booked her for us! Very grateful for her and taking care of Yeti on such short notice!”
“Kasey and Mason were great! I wanted our dogs to stay at a home where they would be well taken care of and feel like part of the family. I know they had that with Kasey and Mason.”
“We would love for our golden to stay with Crowe and Taylor again! He came back to us happy and healthy. He seemed to have a blast with the other animals and we got frequent updates and pictures of him! Perfect experience all around.”
“Kyle did an amazing job with Cooper! He was flexible with drop off and pickup, we ended up adding a last minute day because we were delayed coming back from a trip. He also sent tons of updates. Will be using him again 🥰”
