“Jim was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! Jim took care of our doggies for a week and he communicated everyday, several times a day letting us know how well they were doing, and he took them on plenty of walks. Would definitely book him again and I know our dogs would love that as well.”
“Thank you, Cindy! My husband and I appreciate the photos and updates I received from you while Leila was boarding with you for a week! Will definitely rebook when needed!”
“Edina was amazing with our 10 year old dog Teddy. She was so communicative and sent pictures and let us know how he was doing while we were out of town for a week! He was so well cared for and came home a happy pup!”
“My 2 cats Oscar and Zara recently stayed with Heather for 2 weeks. I can’t say enough what a great cat sitter Heather was. She sent me pictures each day of the cats and communication was great. They had their own room which was spacious and had lots of sunlight that they enjoyed. I will definitely be contacting heather again the next time I need someone to watch the cats while I’m away.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog sitter and caregiver! Kathleen (Katie) has been my go-to dog boarder for over 15 years, and I was thrilled when she joined Rover so more people could find her. She recently watched my dog for me, and it was just as fantastic as always. From the very first day we met, I knew my pups were in the best hands. Katie truly loves dogs and it shows in everything she does. When we adopted our puppy a while back, Katie was incredibly helpful — offering advice, extra patience, and gentle guidance as we all adjusted to life with a new little one. She has such a calming presence with dogs of all ages and personalities. My dog always comes home happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Katie is professional, communicative, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I recommend her without hesitation — she’s the real deal! Thank you, Katie, for always taking such great care of my furry family members. ❤️”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“She is AMAZING. She cared for Mario and loved him like he was hers while watching him for 17 days!! Thank you so much, Kasandra- words cannot express how thankful I am to you!!!”
About: I have always been a pet lover. I grew up with large dogs, and currently a fur mom to a little one (11lbs) and a medium one (30lbs). For the last decade, I have worked with various rescues to help strays learn how to settle and be in a home as well as help with finding their forever home. Now in Virginia, I’m looking to love on your furry family member like they are our own. I currently work from home and will be around to meet your animal’s physical and social needs. Dogs can receive multiple daily leashed walks- both around the property and quiet community. With a background of accepting animals of various temperaments, we are great at establishing a calming and loving environment. I can adjust and accommodate to pets as needed. I can accommodate indoor crating needs as desired or needed.
“Jessie was absolutely amazing. If you need to leave your very loved pet for a trip, Jessie will take care of them like her own. Our Zinny was super happy with her stay and we will definitely use Jessie again soon!”
“Anthony did a great job watching Zeus! He took good care of him, kept us updated, and we felt comfortable knowing Zeus was in good hands while we were away. Everything went smoothly, and we would definitely use Anthony again. Highly recommend!”
“Charlie stayed with Corey for 19 nights while I was traveling, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but he made me feel completely at ease from day one! He sent a photo or video every single day along with thoughtful updates and reassuring messages, which meant so much while I was halfway around the world. It was obvious Charlie was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. They played lots of fetch (Charlie's favorite!), and I could tell he was getting both the exercise and affection he loves. When my sister picked Charlie up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know there's someone I can trust with my dog, especially for longer trips. I highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Jenn took exceptional care of our puppy, Ginger. This was Ginger’s first time away from family and staying with Jenn was a wonderful experience. She was so caring and took the time to send pictures and updates. Ginger was able to spend time outdoors and playing. We are so appreciative and will definitely be back.”
“Mai has been great and has done a great job taking care of Cody ! She was constantly updating me with photos and video of Cody and made sure that I’m comfortable . Mai , you are great !! Thank you so much again for taking a great care of our Cody 🙏❤️”
“Rachel is always a joy when we drop our pet off. We know she is going to be well looked after while we are gone. This peace of mind lets us enjoy our time away knowing our pet is happy and safe.”
“Stacie is wonderful with dogs and her doodle is very dog friendly. I loved the many pics she sent while we were away! I felt worry-free seeing my dog was having such a nice time. We will definitely use her again!”
“Thanks so much Saroj for your boarding of Gabriel. You took care of him like your own sweetheart Kaya. I appreciate the videos and picture updates that you shared of them playing together and knew he was in great hands and they were having fun while we were away. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for boarding. See you next time?”
“Leaving Lexi with Kathleen for a week while I was on vacation was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by sending me pictures and updates every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from every photo that Lexi was having an amazing time, getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked Lexi up, she was happy, relaxed, and honestly looked like she had been on a vacation of her own! She had so much fun that she didn't even want to come home, which says everything about the care Kathleen provides. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I can't recommend Kathleen enough. She is caring, trustworthy, and truly loves what she does. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Maddy was a great help while we were away on vacation. She checked on our cats and fed them. The daily check ins were so helpful to calm my anxiety. Thank you so much, Maddy!”
“Cortney was wonderful! Our Kitties clearly loved her company and were well taken care of! She was communicative and sent us lots of photos that we really appreciated!”
“Allie took great care of our cats while we were away! She was easy to communicate with and I appreciated her updates and pictures. We’d definitely use her again!”
“We have used Leigh twice in a row now for checkins on our senior cat, Dori. It was a longer than usual trip out of town, and Dori has some special dietary needs, so I was a bit worried about her, but Leigh took good care of her and kept her entertained! Lots of playing and cuddles, which Dori loved. Leigh also has great communication and seems to really care about the pets she’s watching, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you Leigh!”
“Melissa was just what we needed to cover our cat while we went on a trip! She was so sweet, kept us updated, and kept our kitty entertained while we were away! I would definitely recommend Melissa to any others looking for help with their pets!”
“Meah is a phenomenal pet sitter. Not only is she professional. She is extremly attentive and communicates well. Even when weather was bad (snow and ice) she made every effort to ensure she stayed on schedule (which she did). I would recommend Meah to anyone and I will use her again if she is available.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. In the last few years I've boarded over 30 dogs at the house. I've completed over 250 services on wag with dogs, cats, and a pig while maintaining a perfect 5.0 rating. References available upon request. Pet care is my full time job. Dogs will have free range around the house and I'm with them 100% of the time unless I have to go walk another dog. My house has a dog door attached to a fenced backyard which the dogs have full access to throughout the day. They're also allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a nice trail by the house which my dog and I walk about 5 miles a day on.
About: I’ve always been a cat lover and have two cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats the attention they need while also respecting their space. I’m comfortable caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, and I’m patient with cats who may be shy or take some time to warm up. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Having a 19 year old cat, we did not want to leave her with just anyone while we were anyway. Daniel was willing to come by for a meet and greet to make sure he was a good match. He was excellent to work with for set up and came by on schedule and spent time feeding and providing company in our absence. Daniel provided pictures for each visit which was comforting. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and friendly with your pet, he is your person.”
About: I absolutely love cats, I have 3 of my own, a Maine coon, Siberian, and an orange tabby. When I go to my friend’s house I spend the entire time playing with their cats. Cats have been in my life since I was born. I have a lot of experience with kittens, seniors, and middle aged kitties.
“Brenda was awesome! She took lots of photos and made me feel at ease being away from my sweet girl, Maple. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly. I’m so glad I chose her and knew she would be the right choice! Highly recommend 🤗”
“Nadia is wonderful! Our cats warmed up to her immediately - even the cat that is normally very skittish. Her updates and photos were great, and I had no worries at all during our trip. I would highly recommend Nadia!”

“My son just adopted Cash a few weeks ago and we were not very familiar with Rover. But it was a great experience and Edina was fabulous. Thanks for taking good care of cash and sending the great pics as well!”
About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”
“We had a great experience with Saroj! We were able to drop Chewie off early for our day trip, and Saroj sent us updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Saroj was very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely use Saroj’s services again!”
“Yulissa was very friendly and really cared and took care of my pup while I was away. She was also very flexible and was able to accommodate a schedule shift when my plans went a bit longer than expected. 10/10!”
“Payton loves Tracey and her family. She feels like that is her home away from home. She looks forward to going to Tracey’s everyday I’ve taken her. Although she sometimes misses her kitten brother when they’re playing in the morning. Tracey is consistent and reliable and offers excellent pet care if you need someone to help out with your pet, I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for dogs and have hands-on experience with a senior dog, two dogs who require daily medication, and raising and training a puppy. I provide loving, patient, and attentive care while following each pet’s unique routine and needs. ❤️🐾 I’m currently working part time, so I have a flexible schedule and there is always someone home to care for and spend time with the fur babies. I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I will treat your fur babies like my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I will follow their routines, give them the attention they need, and make sure they always feel cared for and secure.
“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”
“Nancy took such good care of Jasper! My sweet dog is a rescue, and can have pretty severe separation anxiety while I'm away. I was in town for a wedding, and wanted to know that Jasper was well cared for and had someone to hang out with all day. Nancy understood exactly what Jasper needed, and I returned to a happy and relaxed dog. I will definitely book with Nancy again next time we're in town.”
About: Over the years, I've been blessed with friends trusting me to care for their fur babies, and we always have a good time. I observe every tiny detail of doggie behavior and what makes them comfortable. I enjoy letting them smell and observe their surroundings, and get them acclimated before introducing them to my day-to-day lifestyle, but I’m pretty much chill and easygoing. Both of my dogs are obedient and friendly, and have been trained at home. One of our dogs came home as a puppy, and the other one is a rescue, and both get along well. With practice and patience, I’ve learned to take care of most of their grooming, including nails, ears, paw trims, brushing their teeth, de-shedding, and doggie baths. With routines, I like start small with walks to get a sense of their pace and smelling habits so that they enjoy every minute, and if need be, I can help correct some of the leash pulling. I am also well accustomed to administering oral medication when dogs are on a schedule, so if that's something that you need for your pup, I’m happy to help. I'm blessed to be able to work from home, so I spend all day with my dogs. My usual work schedule is Monday through Friday, 9-5 pm, so I usually run my errands in the afternoon, and go for a walk with them if it’s nice out. On occasions, I sometimes take my pups to the dog park so they can burn some energy. Your pup will rarely be alone, but if I need to run errands for whatever reason, I have a doggie room with a camera so I can monitor them. There’s also plenty of toys, beds, and crates, just in case. I don't crate my pups anymore since they've learned to behave when alone, but if you'd like me to crate yours, just let me know. I’m more than happy to accommodate you and your fur baby's needs. In this house, your pet isn't a guest; they’re part of the pack. I have two other dogs that will keep your baby company and provide lots of playtime. I will follow your home routine to a T, and provide lots of belly rubs, walkies, and playtime. My house has a large fenced-in backyard, so they will have ample room to play and frequent breaks. Additionally, the neighborhood is very dog-friendly, so there are lots of sidewalks for walkies. There’s have plenty of toys here, and there are also a few dog parks nearby that we can visit, if your dog is comfortable. If your pup is more on the older side, prefers to sleep all day, and doesn't like to play as much, and/or is more of a loner, that's OK too! I’ll adjust to your routine and keep you up-to-date on everything. Basically, expect a very happy, very sleepy pet at pickup, daily updates, and peace of mind!
“Your pup will have a great time at Ms Jessica's! She is a pleasure to work with - clear, communicative, prompt and provides a fun and enriching time for the dogs in her care. My dog has GRRRREAT time when stays with her! He comes home happy and tired each time.”
About: Hi! I am Victoria, a dog mom here in a quiet home in Manassas old town. Cubs is a 3 year old, 6 pounds yorkie who loves to nap on my lap while I work. Cubs will be very happy to share all of his toys, beds, and go on walks together, sniff everything and be lazy with cozy blankies and treats ✨ And I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m all about communicating daily and please be aware as I may send too many photos and videos! There will be pee breaks every 3 hrs and dog steps in every room. At the moment, i’m only accepting small dogs that are similar to my dog’s size. I work remotely at home and have a very flexible schedule. I can accommodate to your baby’s schedule and needs. My job is to prioritize happiness/comfort while you are gone, so your dog chooses me over you - (please be aware as that has happened before and saw one of my clients get real sad) I grew up with dogs and cats all my life. So I’m very comfortable with cat/dog care in all stages of their lives. Also, coming from education and child development background (i used to teach in FCPS elementary for 5yrs before pandemic) , I see so much resemblance in teaching children and taking care of animals - rules and routines, along with positive rewards and experiences. And i believe building a trustworthy relationship creates a safe space for anyone or any fur babies. And I’m confident your dog/cat would wanna come back to stay with us. I’m also all about sending quite lot of pictures/videos.
“Vanessa did a great day care for our Australian Shepherd. Our dog was happy and content at the end of the day and enjoyed mixing with the other dogs in Vanessa’s care.”
“As an anxious first time dog momma I was so nervous to leave my pup with anyone. Krystal and her husband made it so easy to leave my sweet boy behind (14 week golden retriever) . I got frequent pictures lots of updates & he loved her dogs! Thank you Krystal for treating my puppy like one of your own!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know what it takes to keep one healthy and happy. Constant love and cuddles are a must. I also will also make sure that your pet is well fed when needed. Playtime not only gives exercise but affection at the same time. I will make sure to give your pets enough playtime so that they can sleep peacefully at night. I also have experience taking care of different-sized dogs, as I have taken care of many of my friends' dogs and have left them all satisfied with my work. I guarantee all of your dog's needs will be met at the highest quality. Also, my mother owns a grooming salon so we can give your dog a bath or grooming per your request. I work full time remotely so I will definitely have time to care for your fur baby! I also own a small dog and have other dogs in the house at a time. I have a fenced backyard so they can run around and play for as long as they need. We make sure the yard is clean and will supervise if need be. The dog must be friendly with other dogs. Unfortunately I cannot take dogs that shed
About: I’ve spent years taking care of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a long walk! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.

“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”

“Jim did a great job! He put my shy dog at ease pretty quickly and didn’t rush his walk. He was much more attentive to my dog’s needs than I expected. Will book with him again.”
About: As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities, from playful and energetic cats to shy or more independent ones. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and keeping up with each cat’s normal routine. I’m patient and gentle, especially with cats who need extra time to feel comfortable around someone new. I’ll always treat your cats with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can make time for feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your cat’s usual schedule as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I always make safety and comfort a priority when caring for cats/dogs in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding and litter routine consistent, and make sure doors and windows are secure. I understand that some cats are shy or cautious around new people, so I’m patient and let them approach me at their own pace. I’ll keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and playtime if they want it, and treat both your cat and your home with care and respect.

About: I’ve been dog/house sitting since I was about 12 years old. I went on to take Veterinary Medicine courses through my high school, while I interned at a local animal hospital. I then went on to work as a kennel tech at a boarding and daycare facility for a year, then moved to another vet to start putting my knowledge to the test! I am now enrolled and in my second year of online school to get my bachelors in Animal Health and Behavior, and I absolutely love my job as a vet tech assistant! I’m currently only working part time so I have more time for school, but I do have some extra time on my hands. There’s no better way to spend free time than playing with furry friends! I have plenty experience in basic dog/cat health, including handling aggressive, overly energetic, or untrained pets, as well as “breakout artists”, who might be prone to fence-jumping or getting out of kennels. During my experience working as a kennel tech, I learned many different ways to handle an array of behaviors.
About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well! For cats I love being with them and keeping them company, while feeding and providing clean up.

“My 2 cats Oscar and Zara recently stayed with Heather for 2 weeks. I can’t say enough what a great cat sitter Heather was. She sent me pictures each day of the cats and communication was great. They had their own room which was spacious and had lots of sunlight that they enjoyed. I will definitely be contacting heather again the next time I need someone to watch the cats while I’m away.”
“Rosalina and her family are incredible. Roscoe was well cared for and so happy. Rosalina sent me pictures throughout the stay and she even bathed Roscoe before I picked him up because he got dirty playing outside. Highly recommend (and I am a very nervous dog mom).”
“She is AMAZING. She cared for Mario and loved him like he was hers while watching him for 17 days!! Thank you so much, Kasandra- words cannot express how thankful I am to you!!!”
About: I have always been a pet lover. I grew up with large dogs, and currently a fur mom to a little one (11lbs) and a medium one (30lbs). For the last decade, I have worked with various rescues to help strays learn how to settle and be in a home as well as help with finding their forever home. Now in Virginia, I’m looking to love on your furry family member like they are our own. I currently work from home and will be around to meet your animal’s physical and social needs. Dogs can receive multiple daily leashed walks- both around the property and quiet community. With a background of accepting animals of various temperaments, we are great at establishing a calming and loving environment. I can adjust and accommodate to pets as needed. I can accommodate indoor crating needs as desired or needed.
“Jessie was absolutely amazing. If you need to leave your very loved pet for a trip, Jessie will take care of them like her own. Our Zinny was super happy with her stay and we will definitely use Jessie again soon!”
“Anthony did a great job watching Zeus! He took good care of him, kept us updated, and we felt comfortable knowing Zeus was in good hands while we were away. Everything went smoothly, and we would definitely use Anthony again. Highly recommend!”
“Charlie stayed with Corey for 19 nights while I was traveling, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but he made me feel completely at ease from day one! He sent a photo or video every single day along with thoughtful updates and reassuring messages, which meant so much while I was halfway around the world. It was obvious Charlie was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. They played lots of fetch (Charlie's favorite!), and I could tell he was getting both the exercise and affection he loves. When my sister picked Charlie up, he was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know there's someone I can trust with my dog, especially for longer trips. I highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Jenn took exceptional care of our puppy, Ginger. This was Ginger’s first time away from family and staying with Jenn was a wonderful experience. She was so caring and took the time to send pictures and updates. Ginger was able to spend time outdoors and playing. We are so appreciative and will definitely be back.”
“Rachel is always a joy when we drop our pet off. We know she is going to be well looked after while we are gone. This peace of mind lets us enjoy our time away knowing our pet is happy and safe.”
“Stacie is wonderful with dogs and her doodle is very dog friendly. I loved the many pics she sent while we were away! I felt worry-free seeing my dog was having such a nice time. We will definitely use her again!”
“Leaving Lexi with Kathleen for a week while I was on vacation was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Kathleen went above and beyond by sending me pictures and updates every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from every photo that Lexi was having an amazing time, getting lots of love, attention, and playtime. When I picked Lexi up, she was happy, relaxed, and honestly looked like she had been on a vacation of her own! She had so much fun that she didn't even want to come home, which says everything about the care Kathleen provides. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I can't recommend Kathleen enough. She is caring, trustworthy, and truly loves what she does. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Chaoran was fantastic. Every step of the way from booking, to stay & pick up was smooth. Our dog had recently had surgery and Chaoran did a great job accommodating the need to keep our dog from jumping or running. She clearly knows & enjoys dogs. I’d highly recommend her.”
“Jamie was an incredible sitter! She handled all my dog’s quirks well and both her, her family, and all her critters made my pup feel right at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again for future trips.”
“Duke was very happy after his weekend with Vanessa and Geoffrey. Their setup is amazing and I got several updates and pictures while away from my fur baby.”
“Loki enjoyed his stay with Camila and her family. She sent us pictures and told us how he was doing each day while we were on our trip. Her kids were good to Loki. He is a rescue and I am sure he was anxious to be left again. Camila understood and made sure he had lots of snuggles pets to and treats. We appreciate them giving him lots of love on his first time away from home.”
“Very responsive ! I can tell he has good experience with dogs. Always kept me updated and sent me pics. I was comfortable at my trip knowing Leo is being taken care of well. I definitely recommend and will for sure book with Gustavo again!”
