“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”
“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“Kathryn was amazing! So warm and inviting to me and my dog Romeo! The kids loved on him just like he was their own. I got pics of him everyday and I’ve never seen a smile so big on his face! She made him feel at home and made me feel at ease knowing he was being taken care of in a safe and happy environment! This was my first time boarding him and I absolutely will be calling her in the future! 10/10!”
“Lorena, is very professional and takes superb care of your precious pup. Also, provides a very personal and loving home for them. I have a chihuahua who is always very excited to spend time at Lorena's home. Highly recommend! ”
“She is amazing and took great care of our dog Smurk. She kept him safe and sent us pictures to show how he was doing. We would love to book with Rebecca again!! Thank you :)”
“Heather was quick to answer messages and made the process very easy. My dog absolutely loved staying there and I will definitely be using Heather again when I need a dog sitter!”
“Kelsi was great! She was able to take care of my dog on short notice when my original plans fell through. I received plenty of photos while Noda was boarded and she seemed to have a great time. I would highly recommend Kelsi!”
“Rebekah did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend her. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my little dog, who is never been boarded anywhere. She did a great job!”
“I want to thank Amber for taking care of my fur baby Bailey. This was the first time I have left Baily for more than a couple of days. Amber kept me update with pictures and video to ensure I was at ease with not being with Bailey. I have definitely found the person to be Bailey care giver when I am away. Thank you Amber for being such a kind and wonderful person.”
“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”
“Connie is the consummate professional! The way in which she conducted the booking and communicated her polices and procedures immediately put me at ease. She sent me pictures daily and my pup was literally smiling in each one! I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“River is always so excited to see them, and that tells me all I need to know! They take excellent care of River and treat him like family. I always feel confident leaving him with them and highly recommend their services.”
“Heather did an awesome job watching our chocolate lab for a weekend. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would do it again in a heartbeat. She sent us numerous pictures and updates on how our dog was doing. This was our first experience with Rover and I would definitely recommend Heather if you need someone to watch your dog”
“From the time we dropped Rosie off and she left without much of a goodbye we knew we had chosen the right place. Amanda and family have dogs and they know dogs. Easy going, flexible and just nice people. Amanda sent me video updates of Rosie. It was reassuring to know our girl was so well cared for. We would use Amanda again in a heartbeat!”
“Christie took excellent care of my two dogs. We also loved receiving the videos and updated on how they were doing. We will definitely try to book with Christie whenever we go out of town and need a great dog sitter.”
“My husband and I booked with Denise two days prior for our last minute little weekend get away . Denise responded in 10 minutes and set up a meet and greet and we enjoyed the meet and greet so much we booked her . She gave us a run down of everything and she interacted well with our Laika girl. She even accommodated the fact that Laika isn’t good with being around other dogs. She gave my baby girl one on one time and kept me updated throughout my entire vacation.We was able to enjoy a vacation and Laika was able to enjoy a mini vacation as well. When we picked Laika up she told us just how lucky we were to have Laika and called her the “model boarding dog“ . We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Felt good to trust someone with my pup and treat her like their own, so much that Laika didn’t even seem like she wanted to leave.”
“Thank you for taking care of our pups for a few days while we were away and for going above and beyond!! We really appreciated all the pictures, videos and updates of our pups!”
“Laura was amazing with my dogs and amazing with all my request or accommodations needed. I would definitely use her again in the future and every time she’s available she is my go to sitter. I recommend Laura to anyone with any type of dog. Thank you Laura.”
“Thank you Julie for taking such great care of my pups. I loved the pictures and videos that you sent. The dogs told me they felt right at home and enjoyed meeting their new pup friends. They especially loved the huge fenced in yard and freedom they felt. They can't wait to come back.”

“Okay let’s start with the title “life saver”... We contacted her LAST MINUTE from Myrtle Beach and she answered immediately willing to help! She is kind, diligent, and even treated our house as if it were her own! I cannot and could not have asked for a better caretaker of our two cats when we needed her! She sent us pictures and updates while she was there and even contacted us before and after the visits. Thank you so much Bailie!”
“Lucas was amazing while watching my 2 pups! He attended to the cats, which was not at all required but he still took the time to show them love. He took the pups out for walks and even gave them treats he brought himself and gave them play time. He simply went above and beyond!”
“Great communication and did a great job taking care of my cats while me and my family were away! She sent pictures and detailed notes after every visit and made sure to answer any questions very quickly, will be requesting her again!”
“Alicia was absolutely amazing! Professional, reliable, and truly caring. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat — the best sign of excellent care. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! 🐾”
About: I lived in a house with 4 dogs and I love them all. I walked them and took them on adventures. I believe dogs are a humans best friend! I currently work part time and want to get healthier. I figured while I try to get healthier it’s better to do it with a furry friend each day! I feed, bathe, and play with all of my doggos. I like to teach them new tricks. To us they are part of our lives but for them we are their life!
About: I would always watch over my friends cat with her. He was super calm and easy to care for along with the fact that he’d always be around me and comfortable. I’m usually calmer with cats.
About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.

I can follow your schedule as far as potty and walks and am able to walk long distances and play! I know some kiddos can be picky eaters like mine so I will happily embrace your pets quirks! No request is too strange and I will not have any problem respecting you or your pets routine.
“Reanna was great during her drop-in visit and walk with the pups. She was punctual for both the visit and the meet and greet. Very positive and great with my two 60-pound dogs. Would recommend!”

I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was the age of six and I have a great way and love with them .

I care for them with love and with their necessities as needed on a daily bases whether it’s taking them out for a walk twice a day or feeding them twice a day as well or any extra care like giving them their meds as needed as well.
“Rebecca was great with our senior cats. She gave them lots of love and attention and was able to administer medicine. The furry ladies said they’d have her back to visit anytime:)”
About: I’m a fourth year veterinary student with many years of hands-on experience in veterinary hospitals and animal care facilities, and I’m also a proud cat owner myself. Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I truly enjoy caring for unique personalities and routines. Through both my training and personal experience, I’m very comfortable caring for cats of all ages. Whether they are playful kittens or gentle seniors, I am happy to provide care for them all. I have experienced administering medications and providing low stress care for cats who may be a bit slow to warm up. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiarity, and I take the time to move at their pace. Whether your cat wants playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable!
“Outstanding!! I couldn’t be happier with the house sitting by Sarah E. Great communication before, during and after the service. Clinton was obviously very happy after seeing pictures. I can’t recommend her more highly. Thank you!”

About: I have always been around all kinds of animals, and I worked with Bully Paws Pit Bull Rescue for many years. At one point I had 5 Pit Bulls, and they were my daughter’s best friends. Now that I am dog free, I miss having a furry friend around. Currently, I have two cats. I work from home day except Wednesday. Due to my flexible schedule, I am able to cater to your pets needs to make sure they are getting the love they need. I have a fenced back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in. I work from home, so I am always at your pet's beck and call. At your home, I can work as needed and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home.
“Jeanette & Marvin took really good care of our shy dog. They went out of their way to help her feel as comfortable as possible while visiting with them. They are truly very compassionate dog caregivers.”
“Alicia is amazing! Very personable and communicative. She kept me updated throughout the day regarding concerns I mentioned during drop off and made sure my puppy felt loved. We will definitely book again. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Denise is amazing with my puppy. Luca gets so excited to see her every time I drop him off. I was nervous finding someone for my 12 week old pup but she has been great!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. Besides having a dog as a pet throughout my lifetime, I volunteered my time to help train service dogs for a local organization for the past 2 years. During this time I would walk, feed and bathe puppies through adulthood. I would potty train, teach door manners, heal, sit, stay,place, stay under table during dinner time and various other life skills for the dog to follow. I would also brush their teeth, play with them daily and show them constant affection and love. I’m currently working 1-2 days per week prn, so I’ll have plenty of time to work around various schedules to assist all of my clients needs. I will walk the dog around on a leash, ensuring to monitor the weather to make sure that the asphalt is not to hot for their paws. I will earn trust of my clients by communicating efficiently and proving over time that I have the best interest in the care and safety of your pet.
“Kelsi and her family were wonderful hosts to Fin! They were adaptable as I needed a last minute pet sit for a couple of hours. Fin loved hanging at their house and he was super comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with Kelsi again!”
“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Great service, my dog Harper and I are very pleased and satisfied. This was my first experience leaving my dog, Harper with a pet sitter. Harper took to Monica immediately at the meet and greet. When I dropped Harper off for her first daycare visit, she was excited to see Monica! I plan to use this service again.”

About: Your dog becomes part of the family the moment they arrive 🐾💛 I provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every dog is cared for like my own. With over 4 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, you can feel confident your dog is in capable and knowledgeable hands. As a certified dog trainer, I go beyond basic boarding by providing structure, guidance, and consistency throughout their stay.

I’m already home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and consistent care without long periods alone. My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family.

“Cooper had the BEST day with Praveen and his wife and his two dogs. It was his first time away from Us as he is a puppy. He was spoiled, and taken well care of. Highly recommend this sitter!”
“Our high-energy rescue has been doing great with him and coming home well worn out after doggy daycare. He’s kind enough to accommodate early work hours or a change of plans. Very satisfied! We’ll be booking weekly for daycare.”
About: Hello hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I’m a 20-year-old dog lover that recently picked up petsitting in December! 😋🫶🏽 Until last year, I’d grown up with pets my entire life. Since my last childhood Pitbull, Roxy (one out of three total dogs) passed away last July, it’s been difficult adjusting to life without them to share it with me. My schedule feels hollow and incomplete after having spent the last four years with two senior dogs. Those four years have given me experience waking up both late and early to tend to a pet’s many needs, and stay up as long as needed to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Living in a house of dog lovers, your pet(s) will be both well-cared for and showered with love all throughout their stay. 💕 Having our late girl’s passing so recent, we still have all the living necessities available for use if need be. This includes pet beds, food/water bowls, functional kennels, poop bags, and a couple toys. We adore our dogs, and are ready to cherish yours just as much before they return back into your loving arms. Petsitting will provide peace of mind for both me and my clients. Whether you’re away for a short or extended period, rest assured your pet(s) stay with us will be easygoing, well communicated, and overall an experience to remember! 😁 I’m currently hunting for a full-time position outside of Rover. When I eventually enter the workforce, petsitting will likely become a background gig I can no longer give my full attention to. Since it’ll be my first ever job, adapting to a new schedule will cause me to become heavily split between sleep, work, and my own physical health, which would conflict with petsitting until I’d find a decent balance. More info will come when I get a job! 😄 Our family and neighborhood is strict about leashes, so despite our open deck and yard, while outside your pet will NEVER be without a leash or left unattended. Provided collar and leashes would be appreciated! We have a room designated for crates in case of emergencies, and will not hesitate to use them in the unlikely circumstance that we need them. Our lives were once surrounded by two pitbulls and a chihuahua that we showered with love daily. Expect that your pet(s) will be treated as if they were our own! ❤️
About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.
“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Excellent situation. Lesley was awesome! Kind and loving to our dog. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving him there. Her property and space was as described. She was extremely helpful in setting up the sitting. Communication was fast and reliable. I am so very thrilled to have found Lesley for the few days we required Copper to stay with someone.i would definitely recommend her to someone else and use her again. I cannot sing enough praise. Highly satisfied with the experience.”

About: I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. I grew up in a household with Pit Bulls, cats, and occasionally ducks and fish. I have one baby boy, our cat, Killua. We adopted him a year and a half ago. I am a teacher. I am available throughout the summer and after school hours during the school year.

About: I’ve had experiences not only taking care of my own animals but also watching my friends and families pets. I’m able to walk for however long a pet needs and I’m able to remember when a pet needs to be taken out or fed. I’m also able to adapt easily if the pet has any conditions or disabilities that I need to accommodate to. I’m always available at any time whether it’s mornings or nights. I may have trips but whenever I’m home, I’m always looking for something to do. I always make sure they’re comfortable with me before petting then it playing, considering I never want to force anything. I make sure to feed them on time and take then out whenever it is needed. I also love walking my own dogs all the time.
“My dog loved her walks with Bailie and it was great to get pictures from the walks. I really appreciate that Bailie took care to make sure my husky didn’t overheat in the hot weather!”

My training background also means I understand dog behavior, routines, and safety, so your pet gets both loving care and structured supervision in a calm, home-based environment. When pets stay in my home, they become part of my daily routine and are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, and time to relax. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule and any special instructions closely, including medications if needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give them lots of attention, affection, and structure, while using my dog training experience to reinforce good behavior and keep interactions positive and safe.
“Janie made me feel at ease while on my vacation. She walked and played fetch with my dogs. I have two very large German shepherds (very friendly) and she was not intimidated and handled them like a pro. She also checked in on my other animals even though she didn't have too.”
About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!
About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
About: I am a current fourth year veterinary student, and I have several years of experience in clinics and boarding facilities working with dogs and cats. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me, it’s what I’ve dedicated my life and education to. Because of my clinical training and professional experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for changes in behavior, and providing attentive care to pets who may be anxious or require special handling. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, or your cat needs a reliable sitter while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they are in capable hands. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and enrichment at every visit. I’m currently working at a local veterinary clinic part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am free every day of the week for walks and drop-by sitting, and my timing is flexible each day depending on what your needs are! I will monitor your pets in your home and ensure that they stay within my sight and are not getting into anything they shouldn't be. When they are outside, I will either take them out on a leash if your yard is not fenced, or keep watch on them while they are in a fenced-in yard. On walks, I will use whatever accessories you suggest for your dog, whether that be a harness, collar, etc. I will bring water with me for any extended walks, and be sure to monitor them for any signs of fatigue especially in our hot weather. I am very flexible and can provide many different kinds of care tailored to your pet!
About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs ever since I was the age of six and I have a great way and love with them . My schedule varies weekly as I have a college retention student job and I get off pretty late but I’m very flexible. I can always work around getting your pet taken care of! I care for them with love and with their necessities as needed on a daily bases whether it’s taking them out for a walk twice a day or feeding them twice a day as well or any extra care like giving them their meds as needed as well.

“Petey had a wonderful time and I am happy to have Jeanette look after him whenever we travel. She provided pictures of Petey during his stay and was waiting for us on her front porch. He made new puppy friends, met a little boy who loves him and now has new friends.”
“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”

“My husband and I booked with Denise two days prior for our last minute little weekend get away . Denise responded in 10 minutes and set up a meet and greet and we enjoyed the meet and greet so much we booked her . She gave us a run down of everything and she interacted well with our Laika girl. She even accommodated the fact that Laika isn’t good with being around other dogs. She gave my baby girl one on one time and kept me updated throughout my entire vacation.We was able to enjoy a vacation and Laika was able to enjoy a mini vacation as well. When we picked Laika up she told us just how lucky we were to have Laika and called her the “model boarding dog“ . We will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Felt good to trust someone with my pup and treat her like their own, so much that Laika didn’t even seem like she wanted to leave.”
