“Can’t overstate how great Christine was with Ellie. Ellie is often shy with new people, but Christine was patient and clearly made Ellie feel incredibly at home in a shockingly fast period of time. What’s more, when our flight back got cancelled, Christine didn’t even hesitate to accommodate our delay. And Christine was very diligent in giving us updates during the stay.”
“Cooper had a great stay with Melanie’s family! He had a great time and she sent us many adorable photos! Would recommend to anyone and will be booking again for our future travels!”

“Tien is incredible she was able to watch my puppy at the last minute and took excellent care of him. Will use again when we need a sitter in her neighborhood!”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Great hosts for my golden retriever! They have such a friendly dog in the house to keep him company, they provided lots of access to the backyard which is his favorite, and took him on plenty of walks. They sent lots of pics and videos during his stay to show how good of a time he was having. Highly recommended.”
“Holly was amazing she took take of our third child Luna a Great Pyrenees with ease. She sent photos daily so we could see Luna was doing well. When we have a delay in our flight she was able to take care of Luna one more day. That is such a piece of mind for us. I highly recommend her”

“This is our second stay with Corina and we'll FOR SURE be booking again. She is so wonderful to my boy, sends lots of cute pics and videos, and puts us both at ease. It's very rare to find someone who love your fur baby as much as you can, and Corina is that rarity.”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Great sitter for the dogs! They had a blast and she was very good at communicating how they were doing. Would definitely ask her to watch the dogs again next time we leave town!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student on break, and most of my classes during the semester are online. This means I’m home full-time on all non-clinical days and have plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Jordan and Ginna took such good care of our pup while we were out of the country. We got good daily updates and could tell they knew how to handle his quirky energy! Would definitely go back to Jordan and Ginna in the future”

They returned back to me very happy and well taken care of! Elizabeth was extremely communicative during their stay and sent lots of cute pictures so we were updated and knew how everything was going the whole time. Would highly recommend Elizabeth for all your pet sitting needs :)”

“I’ve booked with Rachel multiple times and I’ve always had a fantastic experience — she sends detailed reports and pictures so I can still feel super connected, comfortable, and safe leaving my cat while traveling. Rachel is super responsive and I definitely trust her to take good care of my cat and keep me in the loop. Also, based on the photo evidence alone, my cat clearly loves her too ☺️”
“Claudia did an excellent job taking care of our two cats during the week we were out of town. One of our cats has a special diet because of a minor health issue, and the other cat is very shy around strangers. Claudia made sure both cats got the love and attention they needed.

Claudia really cares about the health and well-being of pets and we would love to have her watch our cats again.”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.

“I am very pleased that my Bremen spent a day with Supon and the other doggies there. I could tell from the wonderful photos and captions I received documenting Bremen's adventure that he was not only in excellent care but enjoying every moment! I was impressed with the setting, the safe walk outside, the freedom and fun represented. If Bremen could speak my language he would have said, what a great place Mama! He spoke in the language of love and I of course understood.”

About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.
“Tricia was great ! We initially did a meet and greet to see if our doggies would get along and we went over how Milo’s daycare day would be. The day of the daycare went great, Milo went on walks and played with Lily and another corgi they were taking care of. She sent a lot of pictures and video of Milo and it was really nice see Milo having fun and relaxing with them ! Thank you Tricia !”
