“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old pup with Jaime, Mike and family. Jaime sent me updates with pictures assuring me he was a happy boy. It was a mini vacation for my little guy. I will definitely use Jaime and Mike as a pet sitter again.”
“Stacie was an absolute amazing! She took care of both my dogs; Duke and Rosie, for six days. Rosie stayed with Stacie before, but it was the first time for Duke. Stacie sent photos of both dogs multiple times a day. Duke had a knee surgery couple of years ago, so we were a little concerned, but Stacie was very cautious so he doesn’t hurt himself playing. Rosie is an anxious dog and takes a little time to warm up to people, but has no trouble introducing herself with other dogs, Stacie put us as ease! She provides regular updates throughout the day. In every photo, my dogs looked happy and well cared for. Duke and Rosie were shown a lot of love and attention during their time with Stacie and they came home happy and healthy. I could not have asked for a better person to look after both my dogs. We love Stacie! You are truly an awesome and so good with our two dogs. Many thanks again. We really appreciate all you’ve done with both Duke and Rosie!”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Mike and his wife! They took wonderful care of my dog, Rusty, while we were on vacation for several days. They went above and beyond, sending me pictures multiple times a day so I could see how happy and comfortable Rusty was. They also shared thoughtful suggestions on how to help with his irritated feet and allergies, which I really appreciated. From start to finish, I felt completely at ease knowing Rusty was in such caring and knowledgeable hands. Mike and his wife were truly amazing, and I will absolutely be asking them to watch Rusty again whenever we need care. 100 STARS!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter & Beth and her family took wonderful care of our boy! She offered a meet and greet with her dog ahead of booking to ensure the dogs would get along, which we really appreciated! She even continued our dog’s daily treat advent calendar for us and gave him his Christmas present on Christmas morning! 😊 we received lots of updates and photos, which we really enjoyed! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Deb did a wonderful job with my daughter's dog. She handled Gwynne with love and kindness. She sent photos and updates throughout the stay. We will definitely call her again! Thanks Deb!”
“Katherine is an excellent sitter! I boarded my Yorkipoo with her for 4 days. She sent updates and pictures. She definitely loves dogs and took very good care of my baby. I am happy I found her!”
“Rita was great and our Creasy girl had a fantastic time! Thank you for taking such good care of her, giving her fun companions to play with and sharing such cute pictures. It gave us such great peace of mind while we were away. Thank you!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and we were very anxious. However we were very satisfied with The service. Caroline and her family took a great care of my baby and kept us updated with pics,..... I would highly recommend her.”
“If I could give Colleen 6 stars, Ace and I would. Colleen treats Ace like he is one of her own. He loves seeing her every time she comes over for a walk and while I miss him when I am away for business trips, I don't worry one moment. Great communication and 110% dependable.”
“This was Frank’s first time staying with Noelle, and he made himself right at home. I think this is because she is a gentle, loving person. She was great about updating me as well. Very satisfied!”

“Marjorie was great! She did a meet and greet and the cats loved her. We always had an update on her visits. Would definitely request for her again if she is available”
“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“Fast response time and very accommodating to last minute changes. Was able to do some additional household tasks for me while coming to drop in for pet visit.”
“Kelly was amazing with our cats while we were away for an extended trip. She had excellent communication and took the sweetest pictures for us. She brought in a ton of packages for us as well while we were away which was so appreciated. Will definitely use her again!”
“Tammy took wonderful care of our cat while we were away! She sent the best pictures, kept us updated, and our cat clearly had a lot of fun- the action shots were our favorite to see! We’ll definitely continue to use Tammy for our cat and will use her in the future for our dogs (they absolutely loved her when they met during the meet and greet). Thanks so much, Tammy!”
“Zachary checked in our two kitties while we were away for a week. He was super responsive and sent some great pictures of both - one of which is almost always hiding! He confidently was able to administer anxiety meds and was even able to go over for an emergency visit to check on one of the automatic feeders when it went offline. I felt SO good leaving them in the care of Zachary and will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Christi was absolutely amazing taking care of our little Minji! This was our first time using a pet sitter and we were hesitant but Christi dissolved any of our worries. Not only was she super attentive and sweet to our little kitty, she also sent us detailed updates each day with some of the cutest pictures we have ever had of Minji. Christi will forever be our go-to and she should be yours too!”
“Working with Danielle was fantastic! We are so grateful that she accepted our request to care for our young kitty while we were out of town. Regarding pet care, Danielle is certainly the perfect blend of experience and kindness, giving us confidence that she knows well both how to care for our pet and how to make his visit terrific. Danielle certainly exceeded our expectations on both fronts, and for that we are appreciative. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Isabelle did a great job with my two senior kitties. She paid special attention to the health of one of them who I’m worried about. Made sure they were both eating and getting some extra protein and played with them. She was reliable and very timely, kept to her schedule as discussed and took care of the little pans. Will hire her again!”
“Ella took wonderful care of our 3 cats, 2 of which require medications twice a day. She communicated regularly which provides us peace of mind and left the house spotless.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.
“Megan did an excellent job of taking care of our two cats while we were away. She kept their litter boxes exceptionally clean and they were quite content when we got home. I would not hesitate to use Megan again, she was responsive and very kind.”
“Emily was amazing! She checked in on our two cats while we were away on vacation. She sent lots of photos and played with them too. Most importantly, she even got our shy and anxious cat to play with her. Will definitely use Emily next time we go out of town!”

For Weekends we will have plan accordingly.Feel free to contact me with questions. I have a pretty sizable deck and fenced yard. So its very secure for the pet to run around and have some fun playing in the yard.
“Our pups had a wonderful time with Leslie. I knew they would when we did a meet-n-greet. She is a loving dog person and they knew it right away. Her home is beautiful and accommodates dogs - lots of toys, blanket to snuggle in or rest next to Leslie on sofa. Backyard is big and fenced in - a doggies dream backyard. Leslie sent fun pictures and kept us up-to-date on their potty breaks. She walked the pups on a walking trails near her home which my dogs loved. Hopefully next time they will get to see the Canadian geese which visit the local pond regularly. We are so excited that Leslie has started Rover sitting — she is a gem and we are already signing up for another daycare sitting. 🙏🐾❤️”
“Stephanie and her family are phonenominal! My dog had her first visit yesterday and was happy and tired from playing with their awesome dog, who is now her new best friend. I can't say enough about how Stephanie and her family went far above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, for us! I can't give this dog loving family enough accolades!”
About: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!
“Beth has been an absolute godsend for us! Our boy Dakota has never been a fan of daycare but he is treated like family while he is there and is happy to see her each and every day! Thank you for giving us peace of mind and caring for our boy!!”
About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.
“Heather was great! Our pup had a great time and was made to feel like a member of the family! Heather was communicative and responsive and we would definitely have her take care of our pup again. Great fenced in yard too for plenty of room to play. She has 3 other dogs that were great playmates. Thank you Heather!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 23. I love to pet and feed them. I treat dogs as part of the family. I am home full time and have plenty of time to care for dogs that need care. I also have two dogs of my own. We start our day at 6:30AM. I prepare and feed the dogs at 7AM, 12:00PM, and again at 5:00PM (If they are hungry). I let the dogs run in the yard for 30 minutes, after each feeding, i when the weather permits. We walk in the mornings, rhen again in the evenings. Dental treats and regular treats are given daily.
“Deb was absolutely wonderful! She was super responsive and agreed to a last minute request for doggy daycare, which was a lifesaver. She shared pictures throughout the day of my dog Fae having a blast with Deb’s labs, who were incredibly sweet and playful. Fae didn’t even want to get in the car to leave. We got to bring a very happy, very tired dog back home 😊. I really hope that Deb can watch Fae again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Mikayla and I’m a recent college graduate looking to make some money before I start my full time job! I’ve taken care of my family dogs, neighbors pets, family friends dogs, fostered many dogs while in college and it’s easily one of my favorite things to do! I love meeting new dogs of all kinds and giving them love and belly rubs. I have experience taking care of dogs aged 2 - senior dogs around the age 15. I also am very good at taking care of blind, deaf, or disabled dogs as well. I recently graduated college so I have a lot of free time until I start my full time job in July! I am available every day of the week! I have a fenced in yard, bed crate, dog food, diapers, pet care supplies, toys, etc! I have all the items needed to take care of your dog in the best way possible.
About: Please take a moment to read my full description 🐾💛. It’s very important to me that you do, as everything I include here is designed for the benefit of everyone involved —your pet, myself as their caregiver, and you as their loving parents, because I know your furry friend is truly part of your family and deserves the best care. You may find that what I’ve written here answers several of your questions, especially if this is your first time leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Here you’ll find all the details about boarding and daycare, including my routine, flexibility, safety measures, and how I care for each pet’s needs. If you have any questions or additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll be happy to answer everything you need so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾✨ ⸻ Hi! I’m Romely, a lifelong animal lover currently living in Virginia. I’m bilingual (English & Spanish), so I can communicate comfortably in both languages —making it easier for you to feel understood and confident when we talk about your furry family member. 💬🐾 I began my journey as a rescuer and volunteer in animal shelters in Puerto Rico, caring for dogs and cats in delicate conditions and staying by their side until they found their forever homes. That experience taught me empathy, patience, and what it truly means to care from the heart. After moving to Virginia, I continued volunteering at local shelters, gaining even more experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and special needs. Caring for animals remains the heart of my daily life. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, my sweet, calm, and friendly dog who loves making new friends —both dogs and cats. I like to provide a balanced routine, with fun walks around our community’s pet park, interactive play, mental stimulation, and cozy relaxation time in a safe, loving environment. During their stay or care, your pet is my priority. I make sure they receive all my attention, love, and supervision so they feel comfortable, happy, and safe at all times. 💛🐾 For me, the most important thing is your pet’s safety and your peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I like to maintain constant communication with pet parents and share multiple updates throughout the day, whether it’s photos, videos, or messages showing how your pet’s day is going. 📸🐾 I never call unless it’s an emergency, but I genuinely enjoy keeping you updated because I know how important it is to feel connected and reassured. If you prefer a different communication style (for example, fewer updates or only once a day), just let me know —I’ll gladly adapt to your preferences. 💕 I’m trained in Pet CPR and First Aid, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed. I completely understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be hard —for both you and your furry friend. That’s why I do everything possible to ensure everyone feels comfortable and at peace from the very beginning. We love treating every pet as part of our own family, giving them the same love, respect, and attention we give to our own. ✨ I only host one family at a time to guarantee fully personalized care. For day sitting, I can care for up to two pets per day, always ensuring each one receives the attention, love, and space they deserve. We also love celebrating pets! 🥳 If your furry friend has a special day —like a birthday or adoption anniversary— please let me know. I enjoy hosting small “puppy parties” and making homemade pupcakes, decorating the space to make their stay extra special. 🎂🐾 📸 I also love photographing pets during their stay and sharing some of those joyful moments on Rover or social media, showing happy, everyday activities. If you’d prefer that I don’t post photos of your pet, please just let me know —I’ll fully respect your wishes. 💕 💻 Since I work from home, I’m not available for in-person meet & greets, as I often have meetings or need to be on call, and I wouldn’t be able to give you the full attention you deserve. I also made this decision because most of my apartment is carpeted, and some people prefer not to remove their shoes when entering. In our home, we don’t wear shoes indoors, keeping the environment clean and safe for the pets. At the entrance, we have a paw-cleaning station, where every time the dogs go out or come back in, we wash their paws with dog-safe soap and water before letting them walk freely inside the apartment. I’m happy to share details about the soap I use, and if your pet has any allergies or needs a specific type of shampoo, please let me know so I can use their own product and ensure their comfort and safety. 🧼🐾 It’s also very important to let me know if your dog has any food allergies or follows a strict diet. Sometimes a small piece of fruit, a bit of cheese, or a treat dogs love 🧀🍎 might sneak its way in —and I always want to make sure everything your pet receives is completely safe. 💕🐶 For Drop-Off and Pick-Up, you’re welcome to come right up to my door to say goodbye to your furry friend, or if you prefer, you can sit on the porch for a few minutes to have a calm and loving farewell. The same applies when you come for pick-up —I want both you and your pet to feel relaxed and supported during that transition. 💛🐾 🐾 I’m also very flexible with schedules and family needs. If you live nearby, I can offer free pick-up for your pet. If you’re a bit farther away, I can still help with transportation for a small, low fee, just to cover travel costs. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times —you can set them through the app, but if something unexpected comes up or you need to adjust, please don’t stress! I completely understand. If your dog is with me for day sitting and something comes up at the last minute where they need to stay overnight, don’t worry —these things happen, and I’ll gladly make sure they’re safe and comfortable for the night. 🌙🐾 And if your booking was last-minute and you didn’t have time to buy food or any items your pet might need for their stay, I can take care of that for you and do the shopping myself to make sure your furry friend has everything they need. 🛒💕 If, for any reason, your pet needs to extend their stay, I can often make exceptions when possible, even if Rover shows no availability. My priority is to keep everything stress-free for both you and your pet. 💕 That said, I’m happy to schedule a 15-minute virtual tour of my home, send videos of the community and the dog park, and meet through a video call before your pet’s stay. This way, you can feel completely comfortable and confident before leaving your furry family member with me. 💕 Thank you so much for considering my services! I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved pet. 🌿🐶 I work from home full-time, so your pet will always have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and even for last-minute bookings, giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is always cared for and never left alone. I live in a safe, pet-friendly community with its own dog park, perfect for daily walks, exercise, and playtime. At home, your pet will meet Athenas, our sweet and friendly dog who loves both dogs and cats. If needed, I can provide crate space or separate areas to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Thank you, Ellen! Our pup Cici had and awesome time. She usually doesn't eat when she is at a sitter for the first time. So, we knew she felt safe and at home when she ate while she was there. We loved all the photos, and we could tell she had fun because she slept like a puppy when she came home. We will definitely see you again!”
“Chaoran is great giving updates and Appa seems to really make himself at home with her! I appreciate her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and booking without much notice!”

“I was very nervous leaving my puppy alone after 6 months of furlough. Elmer took the time to get to know her and gives her the attention she needs. I am gone for a large part of the day. When I come home she is happy and the house is in one piece.”

“Elizabeth is so incredible and we will be requesting her anytime our boy needs a walk. She is so quick to respond even when we are last minute on bookings and she has been so great at letting us know anytime our boy gets into anything at the house or even just how many squirrels they see on their walk. I highly highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone.”

About: I’ve grown up with all types of animals since I was a kid including dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, etc. I am comfortable working with most animals and will treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have my own 7yo Boston Terrier/ French Bulldog named Milo! I recently started my doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am looking for ways to make some money in my free time. I am currently free Tuesday afternoons after 2pm and have full time availability on Thursdays and Fridays. I am also open to weekends on a case by case basis. I formerly worked as a probation officer so I am extremely trustworthy, hardworking, and dependable! I am comfortable and respectful working in others’ homes, and will follow all care instructions to meet a pet’s specific needs. Additionally, I am comfortable feeding or administering medications if needed. I will always prioritize your pet’s health and safety, and will likely avoid interactions with other pets unless an owner indicates that their dog is friendly with other animals.

About: I have been working for Rover for about four years with my mom in my hometown. When I am away for college, I miss pet setting so I have decided to open a profile for when I am in Harrisonburg to help pay for my Physical Therapy School. I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas to dogs as big as Great Danes.My family owns four big dogs, three cats, and two Holland lop rabbits . Clearly, we have a zoo at home lol! I am known as the neighborhood pet sitter in my Hometown. I am constantly being asked to pet sit during my summer breaks. During my free time I like to volunteer at RHSPCA and walk the shelter dogs as well as socialize the cats. I am a JMU student planning to attend physical therapy school and then get a certification in animal rehabilitation therapy. I offer dog walking, drop in visits for both dogs and cats, and overnight pet sitting in your home. I will treat your pets like my own and spoil them. Since I am a college student, I can pet sit on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Please feel free to reach out for any pet care needs. My job is to keep your pets safe while in my care. I will go above and beyond to make your pets safety my top priority.

I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.
About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.
About: Nice to meet you! I’m a college student at JMU and have taken care of different animals all my life, and often get asked by family and friends to pet sit-caring from animals as small as hamsters to larger dogs like german shepherds. I am very used to walking large dogs, as I have grown up with german shepherds all my life, and I am very used to taking care of animals with disabilities or special dietary needs. For example, my childhood dog had a pancreatic disorder where I fed her a special diet and am accustomed to carefully following directions and making sure everyone is safe and healthy. I absolutely love cats as well, I have a cat named Moss who is very very spoiled and loved. I am a very clean and responsible person who can be trusted to watch over your loved one and home. 🩵I am offering discounted rates for clients looking for daily recurring dog walks. (For example: 1 walk a day five days a week, but can be more than 1 ofcourse depending on your needs) I understand the importance of dogs getting their daily exercise in and want to be helpful for someone who’s understandably on the fence about scheduling something that can be a costly service. Please feel free to message me about getting this set up if you’re interested, I want to help out anyone I can.🩵 Some things that will be firmly and vehemently followed in my care: -Doors will be verified locked every time I leave, I understand how important it is to keep the home secure and your pet safe. -Your pet will NOT be lost under my care (I have seen the horror stories as well and can’t even fully fathom how awful that would be to experience) -I will follow housekeeping tasks requested by the home owner -I will strictly follow both household and pet care guidelines instructed by the owner. Thank you so much for your time! 🩵 I am a college student home for the summer so I am very available, please don’t hesitate in reaching out so we can coordinate a schedule! :) I will care for the pets and home with the upmost amount of care and respect. Im very concerned about making sure the pet is comfortable and safe at all times, and keeping the home very clean. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone to take care of your loved ones and home, and I want to reassure you that I am very responsible, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will follow any specific instructions you provide and am happy to give regular updates, whether that’s photos, messages, or calls, to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like family, and your home will be left just as you found it. I'm here to make your time away as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your pets. :)

“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old pup with Jaime, Mike and family. Jaime sent me updates with pictures assuring me he was a happy boy. It was a mini vacation for my little guy. I will definitely use Jaime and Mike as a pet sitter again.”
“Stacie was an absolute amazing! She took care of both my dogs; Duke and Rosie, for six days. Rosie stayed with Stacie before, but it was the first time for Duke. Stacie sent photos of both dogs multiple times a day. Duke had a knee surgery couple of years ago, so we were a little concerned, but Stacie was very cautious so he doesn’t hurt himself playing. Rosie is an anxious dog and takes a little time to warm up to people, but has no trouble introducing herself with other dogs, Stacie put us as ease! She provides regular updates throughout the day. In every photo, my dogs looked happy and well cared for. Duke and Rosie were shown a lot of love and attention during their time with Stacie and they came home happy and healthy. I could not have asked for a better person to look after both my dogs. We love Stacie! You are truly an awesome and so good with our two dogs. Many thanks again. We really appreciate all you’ve done with both Duke and Rosie!”
“Danielle was amazing! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures/videos. Kai’lo had a blast with all his new friends and was even very sad when he got picked up. Thank you for taking such great care of him! Will definitely continue booking with her.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Mike and his wife! They took wonderful care of my dog, Rusty, while we were on vacation for several days. They went above and beyond, sending me pictures multiple times a day so I could see how happy and comfortable Rusty was. They also shared thoughtful suggestions on how to help with his irritated feet and allergies, which I really appreciated. From start to finish, I felt completely at ease knowing Rusty was in such caring and knowledgeable hands. Mike and his wife were truly amazing, and I will absolutely be asking them to watch Rusty again whenever we need care. 100 STARS!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter & Beth and her family took wonderful care of our boy! She offered a meet and greet with her dog ahead of booking to ensure the dogs would get along, which we really appreciated! She even continued our dog’s daily treat advent calendar for us and gave him his Christmas present on Christmas morning! 😊 we received lots of updates and photos, which we really enjoyed! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Deb did a wonderful job with my daughter's dog. She handled Gwynne with love and kindness. She sent photos and updates throughout the stay. We will definitely call her again! Thanks Deb!”
“Rita was great and our Creasy girl had a fantastic time! Thank you for taking such good care of her, giving her fun companions to play with and sharing such cute pictures. It gave us such great peace of mind while we were away. Thank you!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and we were very anxious. However we were very satisfied with The service. Caroline and her family took a great care of my baby and kept us updated with pics,..... I would highly recommend her.”
“If I could give Colleen 6 stars, Ace and I would. Colleen treats Ace like he is one of her own. He loves seeing her every time she comes over for a walk and while I miss him when I am away for business trips, I don't worry one moment. Great communication and 110% dependable.”
“Austin and Michaela have the perfect setup for the pups and truly love dogs. It was so nice to find a place where Benny can run and play with other dogs all day while we are away. They sent pictures daily and were super responsive to any messages I sent to check on Benny. When I came to pick Benny up he went right back to the door like he wanted to go back in, so I know he had the best time. Thank you so much for loving on Benny while we were away!”
“I am glad I could find Raji. She took care of Buster like her own kid, shared many pictures and videos while he was with her. I am so happy that Buster is in good moods after coming home. I am looking forward to put him with Raji if she is available during Labor Day. Thank you Raji. ????”
“There is never any concern when we leave our Golden Retriever with Darnell and family. We are a multiple repeat client and feel blessed that we found them. They have become our friends.”
“Loving family who took great care of Tiger. Would love to bring him back for future stays! I also appreciated the frequent updates, pictures and responsiveness.”
“Another fantastic experience with Cory and Angela who went above and beyond to accommodate our family in an uncontrollable situation with our flights getting back home. I don’t think our dogs wanted to leave when we picked them up. Especially taking great care of our diabetic dog with providing insulin and medications.”
