“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Ellysia is the very best dog sitter we have ever had. Abby was right at home at her house for 12 days. It was clear she felt loved and cared for. She was great about communication what Abby was up to and sent photos and videos. It is rare to find someone you feel this confident about leaving your dog with. Abby is sensitive to thunder and she gave special care and attention to help Abby through those times. We feel very blessed to have found such a nice wonderful caring person to send Abby to when we are gone. Thank you so much!”
“If we could give Rikki a 20 star rating we would!! Our sweet Izzy can be a handful/challenge but Rikki quickly figured her out beautifully! Rikki stayed on top of Izzy’s medication, understood her issues and somehow managed to keep up with Miss Izzy and her ways! Rikki sent pictures and updates which we loved- knowing Izzy was cared for made us relax!! We truly/ honestly can’t say enough positive things about Rikki! We feel so fortunate to have found someone we feel comfortable leaving Izzy! If we say more, Rikki may be too booked to keep Izzy in the future!! Definitely recommend Rikki!!!”
“Siobhan is an excellent sitter. She was very attentive to Cairo’s needs from the moment we dropped him off and sent us updates daily to let us know how he was faring. It was great to be able to leave him and know he was in good hands. She was very flexible and understanding and made sure that we were able to vacation stress free without worrying about how our dog was doing. I would 100% reccomend her to others.”
“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Kelsey took very good care of my doggie. She provided updates throughout the day and my lil doggie looked so calm and content. I would definitely recommend Kelsey. ☺️”
“Do not hesitate to book with Dylan and Alex! You will not regret it. It is such a blessing to find someone who will take care of your babies while you’re away. I knew that Lucy was in great hands and it gave me the peace of mind that I needed while I was away. Lucy had such a wonderful time and was completely exhausted from all of the play time. I am going to make Dylan and Alex my official boarding for all of my trips planned until December. Thank you gentlemen!”
“Kim was amazing with my dog, Tux!! He stayed with her for 3 nights and had a blast! I know he was well taken care of! She also bathed and groomed him while he was with her and I got him back so clean and well groomed! She does such an amazing job and we will be coming back to her for grooming and hopefully he can visit again when we have to go out of town. She really is amazing and amazing at what she does! You can tell she truly loves the animals she watches and takes care of!”
“Madelyn took excellent care of my dog Link and provided me with consistent updates so that I knew he was in good hands. I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!”
“Love them! Their whole family was fantastic with our fur baby and made her feel right at home. We will definitely rebook with them, they are so sweet! We received so many photos during her stay and you could tell she was loved and cared for as their own.”
“We left our doggie with Ari while traveling for two weeks and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after him. Our special boy is a senior Schnoodle that we rescued last year from a breeder situation gone really bad. Ari and her family welcomed him with open arms and treated him like he was one of the family. She sent daily updates and we thought our boy may not want to come home after seeing how much fun he was having in the photos. Also, he made a new best friend with the family dog Apollo. I would recommend Ari to anyone that is looking for a home-away-from home for their fur babies.”
“It was a pleasure to have Bean stay with Allejah. She was a sweetheart and so accommodating! I will definitely be booking again. She was extremely considerate of any changes made, as well as any potential problem Bean ran into! <3”
“Kendra has been amazing! She made sure to send pictures and provided me with regular updates. I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Something that is hard to come by these days. I will be using her again!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was excellent with the communication and pictures and I felt so good to see my dog happy while I was out of town taking care of business. Melissa will forever be my dog sitter for my pup.”
“This was the second time Henry stayed with Lisa and he had a great time! She did a great job playing with him and even got him a new toy he has not put down since getting home. I will definitely look to work with Lisa again and she really cares about dogs.”
“Rosalind is always very responsive and reliable. My puppy always seems to have a good time and comes back in a great mood. I enjoy using her for my trips because I know my dog is in good hands.”

“Leslie was wonderful! She took such great care of our cat and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I especially loved getting the updates and photos as it was nice to see how she was doing. Our cat can be a little suspicious of new people, but Leslie was professional and it did not scare her away! She was patient, kind, and completely unfazed by her personality. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Crystal cared for my two cats and kindly brought in my mail and packages. It was like having a trusty neighbor and a professional pet caretaker rolled into one. Highly recommend for a worry-free experience!”
“Indiana is amazing 🤩 both myself and Dexter could not be happier. She is personable, very friendly, neat, prompt, and obviously loves animals. Dexter is usually very stand offish & unsure of new people but he immediately allowed pats and was in Indiana’s lap for most of her photos! Absolutely will be calling on this amazing woman in the future. Don’t hesitate to book her!!”
“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”
“Once again, Darnell did a fabulous job taking care of our senior kitty Gus. Darnell was very professional, sent us lots of photos, and gave us a thorough message with each visit. We knew we left our home and kitty in good hands--and came home to a well-fed, happy kitty. We have loved working with Darnell and would absolutely hire him anytime for cat care!”
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
“Kelsey was a friendly companion visit for my mature feline who loves human interaction. Could finally make a needed week long trip feeling good that my pet would be taken care of with fresh food, water, and a regular dependable affectionate visit. Very highly recommended if you want to be able to leave your home and pet family and feel confident they will be taken care of.”
“Thank you Annabella for helping us with Chonkers during our honeymoon. We appreciate you taking the time to get him to come out and get some human interaction while we are gone. He is a shy boy but he loves people when he gets the chance!”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. When she scheduled the initial visit I was super impressed by all of the excellent questions that she asked to make sure that she could do the best job at caring for my cat. While watching my cat she did a brilliant job of caring for her and helping me feel at ease by sending detailed pictures and videos. Jessica definitely exceeded my expectations by spending extra time with my cat and making her feel comfortable. Jessica's a wonderful pet sitter and I strongly recommend that you use her!”
“Grace did a wonderful job dropping in on my cat Lotta while I was out of town. She was on-time every day, did everything I asked, and left the house just as she found it. She also provided updates and pictures after every visit, which I really appreciated. My cat was well cared for and I would have no hesitation in booking Grace again or recommending her to others.”

“Joanette C is wonderful. She spent the required time and provided daily updates. She is a professional with a caring demeanor. She went the extra mile by informing me of events in and around the home. She was comfortable in our home which allowed the babies to feel comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Joanette C after this experience.”

“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“Very genuine person, got down on brownie's level to engage with her, brownie was happy and well taken care off. Abby worked with me and my schedule, I am grateful that brownie has a home away from home”
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.
“It was my first time using the Rover app and first time for my puppy in a sitter. Kayce and her family was amazing!!! They take good care of Max while me and my kid's are away. Max had a blast during his stay, able to socialized with other dogs and kid's. I would definitely use Kayce again in the future. I would highly recommend her.”
“Alana did awesome watching my puppy! It was a last minute arrangement but she was communicative and kind. Saffron, our 11 week old golden retriever was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up - he almost didn’t want to leave! Definitely recommend her!”
“Sabrina was extremely accommodating as I needed day care coverage extremely last minute. She allowed the my pup & her dogs to get comfortable with one another and sent me updates throughout the day without prompting. I truly appreciate her kindness and expertise and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’m an active, dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy everything from neighborhood walks and playtime to feeding, check-ins, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and instructions, and I’ll always provide clear communication, photos, and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I also have a flexible schedule, making me available for weekday, weekend, and many last-minute requests. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and extended care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate both regular bookings and many last-minute requests. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention while they’re with me. I have a fenced-in yard that I keep well maintained and a clean, comfortable home. I’m careful about following each owner’s routines and instructions, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home while in my care.
“Alison took amazing care of my French Bulldog, J3, while I was at work. J3 can be a little particular—he loves attention, has specific routines, and can be sensitive to heat—but Alison followed all instructions perfectly and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and safe. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s not easy to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Alison truly did. Thank you again for being so reliable, loving, and attentive with J3. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
“We are a military family PCSing to Ft. Benning, GA and we needed someone last minute on a Sunday to watch our 2 dogs while we moved out of our hotel and into our Airbnb. I found Luisa and Robert on rover and the responded very quickly saying that they could watch our dogs. Luisa and Robert took excellent care of Max and Bear and we will def be using them again. I would absolutely recommend them.”
“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”
About: I promise you trust, communication, comfortability, and great care! I love pets! I grew up with a Golden Retriever named Skippy! I now own my beautiful mut mix of Lab, Pit and Blood Hound. His name is Maverick! He's 2 and such a loving, happy dude! I currently dog sit my mom's 3 Boston Terriors whenever she needs to go out of town and have been since I was a teenager. I also take in my best friend's older pit bull, Cookie, and her and Maverick get along wonderfully! There's plenty of space to walk dogs around my apartment community, along with a fenced in tennis court area where they can run free! I work full time AT HOME so I'm flexible just looking to make some extra money I work from home Monday through Friday, and am available most weekends, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your doggos! I live in an apartment but it's very dog friendly! I will ensure your dog gets lots of attention and love! I have access to lots of trails, open pet areas, and a fenced in tennis court where they can run free and we can play fetch! My dog is very friendly and has lots of experience around other dogs. I do have a large dog crate if that is required or necessary.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, low-stress home where I host max 2 compatible dogs at once. Perfect for anxious, selective, or reactive pups who need peace over chaos. I also offer solo-stay pricing for dogs who need to block my second spot. My experience shines with senior dogs (gentle mobility support, meds) and high-energy mediums (structured play without overwhelming them). I work less than 10 minutes from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check in during my breaks for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. While I’m away, I use indoor cameras to monitor pets and ensure their safety and comfort. I’m fully available and home on weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, care, and activity throughout their stay. I don’t have any pets of my own currently. I have a nice size fenced yard and I love taking pups on long walks in my neighborhood or at the local dog park if possible. You can also book my backyard on Sniffspot!
About: I've cared and been around pets and dogs of all breeds all my life. My family has always had dogs so I have experience feeding, grooming, playing, walking, administering simple medication, and basic training. I'm a mom of 7 that works part-time, with little ones in school, so I have the means, time, professionalism, and drive to play and care for your four legged family member, when your unavailable to.... And your able to rest assure that they are well taken care of :) When caring for pets I am able to visit and care for them in their natural setting.... Of their home, so they more natural and relaxed. Please reach out if your interested in weekend boarding at my home.
About: As a former teacher and parent, I bring a level of patience, structure, and attentiveness to dog care that closely mirrors what children need to feel safe, supported, and well-guided. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear boundaries are—not just for behavior, but for overall well-being. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s a part of my daily life. I have hands-on experience with multiple breeds and temperaments, including my own dogs: three Huskies, a Dalmatian, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy and more sensitive breeds, and how to balance activity with proper rest. My home is run as a family-supported, professionally managed boarding environment. My husband, a veteran, is also present and supportive, adding an extra level of attentiveness and reliability to the care your dog receives. What truly sets me apart is the intentional structure I provide. Dogs in my care are guided through a balanced routine that includes play, socialization, rest, and calm time. This helps prevent overstimulation, anxiety, and unsafe behaviors. This type of environment doesn’t just keep dogs safe—it helps them build better habits. Dogs learn to settle, share space appropriately, and become more comfortable around other dogs in a controlled setting. For many dogs, this supports improvements in reactivity, socialization, and overall behavior, helping them become more confident and well-adjusted outside of the home. I strongly believe that dogs thrive when their needs are met through routine, rest, and structure. Just like people, they require downtime and sleep to stay balanced. A consistent schedule helps prevent stress and overstimulation, creating a calmer, happier experience. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, but I am intentional about ensuring that each dog is a good fit for my environment, so I can maintain a safe, structured, and positive space for every dog in my care. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my daily schedule is built entirely around the dogs in my care. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, scheduled walks, outdoor play, and one-on-one attention. Dogs are cared for on a structured routine that includes activity, feeding, and designated rest periods to keep them balanced and comfortable. I’m able to maintain a calm, organized environment where dogs receive reliable care, attention, and structure every day. I provide care in a structured, well-managed home designed for safety, balance, and low stress. As an owner of 5 dogs, 3 different breeds who are trained, I know what dogs need to thrive, feel loved, and thrive socially. While dogs are treated with love and attention, this is not a free-roam environment. I operate a crate-structured system that allows each dog to rest, reset, and avoid overstimulation while also keeping all dogs safe. In my home: • Dogs are comfortably crate trained • Dogs are crated during rest periods, overnight, and when unsupervised • Dogs are rotated for safe, controlled interaction • Dogs are never left to freely roam together without supervision This setup allows me to safely care for multiple dogs while still providing individual attention and a calm atmosphere. For safety: • Dogs must be non-aggressive toward people and other dogs • No history of biting or unsafe behavior • Dogs must be able to remain calm when confined • Collar or harness is required at all times This environment is best suited for dogs who are used to structure, routine, and boundaries.
“Rangeen is amazing!! I was coming through Richmond just for a day and she was so accommodating to my two pups, especially the timid not-so-dog-friendly one! Very responsive and kept me updated throughout their stay. If I lived closer, Rangeen would be our regular sitter! I hope we have the chance to book with her again.”
“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”

“Darnell did a great job taking Minnie out for her afternoon walk! Thank you again for taking such great care of our kid, means the world to us that you took care of her like she was yours!”
About: I’ve been helping neighbors and friends with their dogs for the past two years, including walking, feeding, and basic care. I’m great with playful dogs, shy dogs, and puppies who need a little extra patience. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy. I have a very flexible schedule, especially in the mornings and evenings. Since I’m a college student on break with plenty of free time, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around my classes with no problem. Safety is my top priority. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or my client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, walks are controlled, and pets are never left unattended. I keep a calm, clean environment and always give regular updates so owners know their pet is safe.
About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.
“Crystal was so accommodating and great with our 2 dogs while I was away. She provided me with updates and made being away from my babies a lot less stressful. We will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you for everything, Crystal!”

I am happy to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. If there are additional needs outside walking and feeding the dog please let me know. I am happy to confirm what I am comfortable doing.

About: I've cared and been around pets and dogs of all breeds all my life. My family has always had dogs so I have experience feeding, grooming, playing, walking, administering simple medication, and basic training. I'm a mom of 7 that works part-time, with little ones in school, so I have the means, time, professionalism, and drive to play and care for your four legged family member, when your unavailable to.... And your able to rest assure that they are well taken care of :) When caring for pets I am able to visit and care for them in their natural setting.... Of their home, so they more natural and relaxed. Please reach out if your interested in weekend boarding at my home.
About: I have a lot of knowledge with most exotics as well, I’m happy to help with any bird, turtles/tortoise, fish, snake, any lizard, monkeys, any rodent, rabbit, chicken, horses, pigs, cow, goats and sheep. I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I also work with The Wildlife Center and do some small animal rehabilitation. I currently have 2 dogs and one fish. I’ve recently fostered 3 tortoises, a senior dog and a bearded dragon. I am able to do some puppy training and very knowledgeable in senior care for dogs and cats. I am currently a stay at home mom and my kids are in school full time. I have my real estate license as well as degree in pharmacology but I’d much rather work with animals at my own pace. I have a decent sized fully fenced in backyard. I am also able to crate your animals if that is something that is preferred. My dogs are extremely sweet and love to play with all of their dog friends that come to visit. They are up to date on all vaccines and my house is very clean but pet friendly. My couch is big enough for all the pups and people here.
About: I have previously worked in a kennel at an animal hospital for 3 years, years of house sitting services along with pet care provided on Rover. I have had cats and dogs of my own (pitbull mix and beagle mix). My schedule is flexible to be able to provide pet care services. I'm available for mid-day walks or drop-in visits during 11-2 Monday through Friday. I do not offer pet care services in my home but can ensure to cultivate safety, trust, and respect while offering services in your home.

“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“Ellysia is the very best dog sitter we have ever had. Abby was right at home at her house for 12 days. It was clear she felt loved and cared for. She was great about communication what Abby was up to and sent photos and videos. It is rare to find someone you feel this confident about leaving your dog with. Abby is sensitive to thunder and she gave special care and attention to help Abby through those times. We feel very blessed to have found such a nice wonderful caring person to send Abby to when we are gone. Thank you so much!”
“If we could give Rikki a 20 star rating we would!! Our sweet Izzy can be a handful/challenge but Rikki quickly figured her out beautifully! Rikki stayed on top of Izzy’s medication, understood her issues and somehow managed to keep up with Miss Izzy and her ways! Rikki sent pictures and updates which we loved- knowing Izzy was cared for made us relax!! We truly/ honestly can’t say enough positive things about Rikki! We feel so fortunate to have found someone we feel comfortable leaving Izzy! If we say more, Rikki may be too booked to keep Izzy in the future!! Definitely recommend Rikki!!!”
“Frank had such a great time with Amanda! She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. Frank clearly loved his time with her and, honestly, didn’t want to leave when it was time to come home! Amanda took great care of him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. We will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would do so!! I recently moved to Virginia and needed to board my beagle for an out of town trip. I was very anxious because I haven’t connected with a place that I felt comfortable leaving him. Roxana put my fears to rest immediately. The frequent updates, photos and videos of my pup having the time of his life eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip. I will 100% book with Roxana again.”
“Ms Anika and her family was great taking care of Dog I thought it would be an issue but when I reached out to her she responded back and sent a video of my dog having fun I will definitely re-book with her in my next trip”
“Do not hesitate to book with Dylan and Alex! You will not regret it. It is such a blessing to find someone who will take care of your babies while you’re away. I knew that Lucy was in great hands and it gave me the peace of mind that I needed while I was away. Lucy had such a wonderful time and was completely exhausted from all of the play time. I am going to make Dylan and Alex my official boarding for all of my trips planned until December. Thank you gentlemen!”
“Love them! Their whole family was fantastic with our fur baby and made her feel right at home. We will definitely rebook with them, they are so sweet! We received so many photos during her stay and you could tell she was loved and cared for as their own.”
“We left our doggie with Ari while traveling for two weeks and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after him. Our special boy is a senior Schnoodle that we rescued last year from a breeder situation gone really bad. Ari and her family welcomed him with open arms and treated him like he was one of the family. She sent daily updates and we thought our boy may not want to come home after seeing how much fun he was having in the photos. Also, he made a new best friend with the family dog Apollo. I would recommend Ari to anyone that is looking for a home-away-from home for their fur babies.”
“This was the second time Henry stayed with Lisa and he had a great time! She did a great job playing with him and even got him a new toy he has not put down since getting home. I will definitely look to work with Lisa again and she really cares about dogs.”
“Rosalind is always very responsive and reliable. My puppy always seems to have a good time and comes back in a great mood. I enjoy using her for my trips because I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!”
“Alison is amazing! I was a little worried about how Louie would be once we left but she did a great job reassuring me he was ok! She didn’t skip a beat with her updates and plenty of pictures! I can tell he felt the love from her just as much as I could tell just by the pictures! I would definitely rebook if she’s available!”
“If I could give 100 stars I would for the exceptional care Sarah gave to my baby I would. Not only did she care for Penny as if she was her own, this was the first time Penny has been left with anyone other than family, and Sarah made Penny feel as though she was family. I would recommend Sarah to service your pet without hesitation only when I wouldn't need her again, period!”
“Always a good sign when Sven doesn't want to come home. I promise we're nice to him, but he must have loved it there--especially having other dogs to play with.”
“My baby had a GREAT stay, thank you so much! They also were more than happy to keep him an extra night LAST MINUTE! Super appreciative of that! Definitely booking again!?”
