“Couldn’t be more happy with Ashley’s boarding services. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, got more food when my girl was out, and even offered to clip Gamora’s nails. Which by some miracle her and her boy friend were able to. They are an amazing team and very clearly love the pets under their care. Excited because I travel regularly for work and it’s a huge relief to know that Gamora will always be in good hands.”
“We recently hired Carlos to take care of our Bichon mix “Gus” while on vacation in FL. Gus is five years old and we've had him since he was 10 weeks and he has never stayed with anyone other than family or close friends. Therefore, we were a bit nervous about leaving Gus with a stranger. Well Carlos was amazing! We cannot say enough good things about the way he not only took care of Gus but also reassured us on a daily basis through photos and detailed texts how great Gus was doing. What a relief! Gus interacted very well with Carlos’s dog as well as a couple of small dogs that came and went during Gus’s fun stay. We highly recommend Carlos and look forward to letting Gus camp out with him again! What a great decision we made to use Carlos!”
“This is the second time Joanna is taking care of my Maltese dog, it was an amazing experience with such careful attention. She sent me constant updates and also is helping to train her while sitting my dog. It is so nice to have someone to trust to take care of our dog when needed. I am already booking the next time. Awesome experience!!!”
“Veronica took great care of Mango! He was happy and tired when I brought him home. I was also a bit late to her place to pick up Mango but she was so kind and understanding”
“Very helpful and communicated well to help accommodate our needs. Our dogs got along well in her home and her updates and pictures were reassuring and put me at ease when we went out of town. our dogs are big babies when it comes to going outside in the rain and the whole weekend was a wet mess so I was so grateful Heather was able to get them out and keep them company this weekend.”
“This was my first time using Rover and the thought of leaving my dogs with someone made me super nervous. After speaking with Rebecca I knew they would be in good hands. I received daily photos which gave me a peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thanks again Rebecca!! :)”
“Jim is an amazing pet care giver! I have used him many times and will continue to do so if he is available during the times I need. He is engaged in the care of all dogs and keep the owners informed each day. He is a highly recommended sitter!! Thank you Jim! 🤩”
“Mariel was fantastic. We knew our Minnie was in good hands. We received daily pictures and updates showing us how quickly Minnie settled in to her routine at their house. We knew she was being showered with love while we were away. Awesome experience! We would highly recommend Mariel as a pet sitter.”
“David was very responsive during the booking process, and kept us very well-informed about our pup's stay with him with lots of pictures and messages. I would definitely book with him again.”
“Rosario was amazing with my dog Blaze! She gave him lots of walks, playtime, and activities, and he loved making new friends with her dogs. She treated Blaze like her own and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my 12-year-old baby Dharma received! Leaving an older dog behind is never easy, but from the moment we connected, I knew Dharma would be in loving hands. Mei was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly treated Dharma like part of the family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dharma came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands the needs of senior pups, Mei is the one. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”
“Suzi was very kind to my old Bucky. She took special care of him with his particular needs and limitations. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again when I have the need.”
“Maria goes above and beyond to care for dogs. She cooks for dogs in her care. There were times I was thinking “my dog is eating better than I am”. She sends multiple daily photos and videos. You could immediately tell, it was more than just a job to her. Her, and her entire family, went above and beyond to make my dog feel right at home during my last 2 weeks away. I would recommend her for anyone who feels that dogs are a member of the house and I will be using her again for future trips from home.”
“Another fantastic experience with Cory and Angela who went above and beyond to accommodate our family in an uncontrollable situation with our flights getting back home. I don’t think our dogs wanted to leave when we picked them up. Especially taking great care of our diabetic dog with providing insulin and medications.”
“Jona takes such good care of our dog. She takes the time with each dog to find out what they need and makes sure they are always comfortable and feel safe. Our dog loves to spend time with her!”
“Sabine is awesome! She took really good care of my pup and kept me updated on how he was doing. She was friendly, flexible with drop off and pick up times, sent lots of pictures, and treated Rambo like her own. I would definitely recommend Sabine!”
“Marcela is wonderful! I appreciate that she was able to take in my pup at the last minute. She sent daily photo and status updates. I was able to reach her when I needed and she would be super responsive. Prior to boarding, she was patient, answered all of my questions, and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Thank you, Marcela!”
“Karen clearly enjoys giving an attentive and supportive care to her furry charges. I know that Runi had a wonderful time during the two weeks I was traveling. I saw lots of pictures every day of him playing with other dogs, walking contentedly on outings, taking his meals and even sometimes sleeping. Indeed, I think Runi misses Karen and I know he will greet her cheerfully on his next stay”

“Jessica is our go-to Rover sitter for our cat Franklin! She continues to provide detailed notes and photos during her drop-in visits and is extremely attentive and caring when it comes to looking after Franklin. We look forward to booking her again in the future :)”
“Sonia did an awesome job taking care of my cats. They got plenty of love and attention, she was very punctual showing up for the appointments, and she did a great job giving one of my boys oral medicine (both liquid and pill). She also took great photos that were really awesome to see while I was gone ♥️♥️”
“Kat took great care of our cats and we’ll definitely be booking her again for the future! I have a nervous cat who needs his inhaler daily and he warmed up to Kat very quickly. She was also super neat and kept their litter boxes in a tidy state. Thanks Kat!”
“Meghan is amazing. She has been my go-to cat sitter for 7 years. She has known my cats since they were only kittens. Meghan spends quality time with each cat, petting, playing and truly loving them. The daily photos are precious. Meghan has become family and the cats absolutely love her visits. 5 paws!”
“Faced with a last minute cancellation by our regular pet sitting service, we were fortunate to find the Rover App and through the App, Tresa. Our cats, normally skittish, readily welcomed her and Tresa’s daily reports and pictures reassured us they were in the very best hands. Looking forward to being a repeat customer 🙏”
“Katrina was an excellent pet sitter while my family was away for the holidays. She was always very responsive to messages and provided detailed reports on how our cat was doing each day. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I've been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, haven taken care of a wide diversity of animals including cats, senior dogs, and turtles, along with my own two dogs.

I'm currently a college student, so I have a very flexible schedule this summer! I am available all days weekends and weekdays, but my schedule might change from week to week. I make sure to be very attentive of your pets and always keep a close eye on them. I am also able to give medicine if need be, as well as crate your dogs.
“Sarah was great with my cat while I was away, and I honestly couldn’t have felt more at ease. I’m very particular about her care, and Sarah followed all of my instructions carefully, including her routine and little details that matter to me. She kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the pets she is sitting for. When I came back my cat was calm and content, which says everything. Sarah is great and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Emily did a wonderful job dropping in to visit our 2 cats while we were away for a long weekend. She is very responsive and sent detailed updates and photos for each day so I felt assured they were being taken care great care of. Would love to use her again for future trips!”
“Sheila was the best!!! She was consistent with her visits and always sent lots of pictures! My cats warmed up to her by day 2. She was caring, communicative, and overall an amazing cat sitter! Would highly recommend!”
“Jiamin did an excellent job checking in on, playing with, and feeding our two cats while we were away for a few days! She followed instructions perfectly and made sure our cats actually ate (one gets distracted very easily) and gave them lots of love and play time. She gave detailed updates and sent lots of photos and pics which we appreciated and enjoyed. We will definitely use Jiamin again!”

“I just want to say Virginia (Joyce) and Pete were truly amazing and godsend. I had a sitter but she fell through twice which left me in a predicament and since I had to be at work. But finding them is amazing and I don’t have to worry about him. It’s like sending your kid off to daycare or school for the and I was extremely nervous however they have made this experience amazing and I will definitely highly recommend them.”
“Joy and her family were so kind and accommodating for my last minute trip! Thank you Joy, and the fam, for your hospitality and generosity during Molly’s stay, she had a wonderful time! I am forever grateful you took great care of my fur baby.”
“Heather was amazing! She was super accommodating and took such great care of my fur baby while I was away. I could tell my pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐶💛”
“Cindy does an amazing job with Milo. Milo has separation anxiety and he’s blind. She takes care of him as if he was her own and it means so much to us. We trust her completely to leave Milo with her at any time. She’s very accommodating with both of our work schedules and is always available for us when we need help with Milo. we would recommend her service to anyone. Looking for great care for their pets.”
“Henry was great with Tucker! We needed a last minute sit and he was happy to accommodate. Life saver! He made sure that Tucker was comfortable and cared for. He kept us updated throughout the day - pictures and all - and was flexible on pickup time. I’m very happy to have found Henry for a day of daycare play.”
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“First time Rover user, and Erin was fantastic! She’s very communicative, honest, and friendly. Much better experience than the kennel. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Erin!!”
“I love Veronica. I have been taking my dog Bianca for doggy day care at least once a week and I could not be happier. Veronica is great with dogs; Bianca is always happy to see her. Her house is clean and organized. I definitely recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love, attention, and care I provide because, to me, dogs are family. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I care for them as if they were my own. With years of hands-on experience and a fur family that includes a Maltese, a Shih Tzu, a Labradoodle, and a Standard Poodle, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves personalized attention, gentle handling, and a safe, loving environment. My dogs are friendly and get along well with others, and I always require a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and at ease with me and my home. Your furry companion’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide one-on-one attention, potty breaks, walks, and a calm, structured environment. I am mainly open to care for hypoallergenic dogs but also others on case by case basis, so just feel free to reach out. I don’t crate dogs unless requested and am happy to follow your dog’s routine for meals, walks, supplements, or special care. My dogs are trained and well behaved. If your dog needs space from mine, we have a gate that can keep them separated. All dogs must be current on vaccinations, free of contagious illnesses, and on a flea/tick prevention. Also, because my own fur babies are family members who are allowed on furniture and throughout the home, I ask that all guest doggies arrive clean and well-groomed. Please ensure your dog has been recently bathed or is free of excessive dirt, strong odors, fleas, ticks, or other hygiene concerns before drop-off. This is for the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. Please know that I only accept dogs that are spayed or neutered. No exceptions. Thank you for understanding and helping me maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all the doggies in my care.
“m was incredibly accommodating and kind while caring for Sammi during daycare while I ran errands. Since Sammi is recently post-op, I was nervous about leaving her, but Jim was more than willing to learn exactly how to care for her and follow all of her special instructions. He was patient, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated how understanding he was of her needs during recovery. I would absolutely trust him with Sammi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate care”
“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!!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I regularly pet-sit my teacher’s two Maltese dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I’ve also helped care for a Great Pyrenees, which gave me experience handling large breeds that need confidence, patience, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve spent time around and built great relationships with my neighbors’ dogs, including a Corgi, an Australian Shepherd, and a Border Collie, which has helped me become comfortable with both playful companion breeds and highly active working dogs. Caring for my own rescue cats, Lily and Sky, has also taught me the importance of routine, gentle handling, and paying close attention to animal behavior. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and the same level of care I would want for my own. I’m flexible and able to provide attentive care throughout the day, especially during weekends and most weekdays. Since I’m local to Burke and nearby areas, I can reliably maintain your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship. I’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions. I’m patient and attentive with animals of different temperaments, and I always prioritize a calm, clean, and secure environment. I also have experience caring for my two rescue cats, Lily and Sky, which has taught me the importance of gentle care, consistency, and paying attention to subtle behavioral changes.
“Rachel was WONDERFUL! This was our first time using Rover. She was communicative, patient (as I navigated our first booking) and was so good to my pup. We will definitely use Rachel again.”
About: I have had dogs of my own for over 10 years now. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments for friends and neighbors from a few days to more than 2 weeks at a time. I would walk, feed and brush their pets, I am particularly good at giving belly rubs, ask my lab mix and she will confirm. Please note: I do not provide refund for early pickup. I am a stay at home parent so your pet will have me and my kids' company most of the day. We have a good size fenced in backyard so your pet will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. The drop off and pick up time will be discussed in advance, but typically drop off is after 8am and pick up is before 8pm. I do not provide refund for early pickup. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I am a stay at home parent so I will be there with the pet, if there is an emergency with your pet I will be there to act quickly. I will send you daily updates and photos so you know your dog are having fun with us.
“Christy is everything you would want your Rover host to be. Logistically she checked all the boxes living not too far from major highway I took to my office. Easy to drop off/pick up and get back on the highway again. She responded quickly when I made an inquiry about a weekly daycare hosting for my shy miniature poodle. She demonstrated kindness and patience when our Meet and Greet began later than scheduled. During his stay, Christy texted pictures of Blinky going on a long walk or playing in the backyard. Lovely family took very good care of him. On the second day, I dropped Blinky off, he rushed through the front door without looking back. To me that said a lot because Blinky was not a social butterfly by any stretch of imagination. I can whole heartily give Christy five stars, just for that alone!”
“My Remy loved being with David! Great communication, easy location, pics during his stay, and a cute video of him enjoying himself outside. We’ll definitely be using David in the near future!”
“Joanna and John have been amazing with Peanut. I’ve been to many sitters around the area, in and out of rover, and I’ve never had a better experience than here. They are extremely friendly, super flexible, and will make sure your dog gets all the attention they need. They are very detail oriented to make sure my dog got the best experience and ensured that he will be very comfortable during his stay. Joanna kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and a breakdown of how he’s doing so far. She’s is also attentive and very responsive if I ever had any questions about how things were going. Another plus is that they have a very big yard for peanut to run around in. Joanna will take him outside multiple times a day to run around and makes sure he gets a lot of exercise. She makes sure to create a safe environment for all the dogs to play together as well. The house and yard are kept extremely clean everyday for the dogs, so I know I can feel comfortable every time I bring him over for daycare or to stay the night. All in all, I’m super happy I found them, Peanut has been having a blast. I will definitely be booking more stays with them in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend!”
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”
“Fantastic! I love how responsive and flexible are Dorrie and her family, I can tell they treat my dog as if it was one of their pets, and is reassuring. Tango and their pet became friends almost immediately which is a bonus!”

“Tonya has been so great with our dog Montana, she is patient and gives Montana time to warm up. We are so grateful that we found Tonya and she gets our pup out for quality walks during the day.”
“Our family booked Jenesis because we had an off month of work schedules and she was able to go above and beyond for us. Jenesis was incredible with our two large pups. She was so patient with them on days they had extra wiggles and she was an excellent communicator with my family. She took them on long walks everyday and they both got much better on leash because of Jenesis. If we ever need a dog walker again we will absolutely be reaching out to her and suggest you all do the same! I cannot say enough good things about Jenesis! Maple and Raja love you!”
“David has done an excellent job with Zelda this week. She looks forward to his arrival and is excited to go for a walk with him. We appreciate his care with Zelda and his flexibility with his time.”

“Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, very kind, and extremely attentive to all the specific instructions I gave her. My dog is usually very shy around strangers, but he loved her immediately and went on the walk with her without any hesitation. I couldn't be happier with her service, and I highly recommend her!.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 7 years of dog sitting experience starting in middle school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities and I pride myself on being extremely attentive, reliable, and detail oriented with every pet. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once including caring for up to five dogs for 7+ days, so I’m very comfortable with both longer stays in higher-energy households. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel confident and not ease while you’re away. I’m a student at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule, typically having at most two classes a day. Outside of class, I spent most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine makes it easy for me to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and check-in consistently. I’m able to adapt to each pets needs and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, or evening care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a fence dog area, so dogs have a safe place to get outside and play. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are always supervised and cared for based on their specific needs and routines. I also keep owners updated regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
“Brianna is amazing! She's very good at communicating and will walk rain, snow, or shine which Cocoa loves!! She respects our home and more importantly, she's GREAT with all dogs 😊”

About: I’ve been a (very happy) dog owner for 10 years, and an animal lover since my first pet cat at the age of 5. My two rescue pups are my life, and they live a healthy, active and loving life with me here in Burke. Growing up on a farm provided me with a life filled with animal caretaking, and has given me several unique opportunities to care for a TONS of different pets. Since living here in Burke for 2 years, I take a lot of pride in meeting and interacting with all of our dogs and families within our community. I spend a lot of time helping out neighbors with last minute dog walks or home sitting, and working with our other community members to create inclusive, safe environments for our dogs to play and interact at our local dog park. Taking care of dogs is a serious passion of mine. I treat my dogs Molly and Luna as my children, and I extend that same love and care to all fur babies who come my way. Working with pets is currently my full-time job and focus! Finding time to take care of your loved one(s) IS my routine, and can be available to provide walks, play time, house sitting, park visits, etc., from 9-4 every week day. I like to treat your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all directions providing for feeding, walks, and more. But on top of that I love to just spend time with them to make them feel at ease - belly rubs, playing with their favorite toy, or whatever else brings them joy!
“Our dog normally is apprehensive around new people, and it usually takes him a while to warm up and feel comfortable. This just wasn't the case with Gabi, he took to her immediately! Gabi seems to have a genuine understanding and affection for animals, which seems to have made all of the difference for our dog. Words can't do justice to how grateful we are to have someone we trust help care for our boy!”
About: Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte and I'm a college student majoring in Wildlife Conservation. I've always loved all kinds of animals, and I have two cats at home! I have sitting experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, fish, and geckos. I’m a very active person and would love to play with dogs or take them on long walks. I also really enjoy a nice long cuddle session! I have so much love for animals and I love taking care of them. Please reach out if you think I'm a good fit for your pet! I will be able to fit pet care in very well. My other job is babysitting for two kids, and that has very flexible timing and I can always take them with me if needed. I can drive so I will be able to stop by houses easily! I can take dogs into my backyard where they can run around, but they won't be able to go in my house because I have my own pets. Likewise, I cannot bring cats into my own home because my cats do not get along with others. But I am more than willing to visit my client's home and stay overnight if necessary!
“Rachel was an absolute doll!! She did a meet & greet last minute, super flexible and the dogs loved her energy immediately!! She really cares about the dogs. Highly recommend her!”
“Today was our first time meeting Seth - very nice guy and super well versed in animal care and bigger dogs like my boy, Ghost. Knew exactly how to handle Ghost’s excitement and occasional stubbornness. Informative and willing to work with my schedule and even help out with training!! Can’t wait for Ghost to have a new best friend while I’m busy at work (:”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.

“Very helpful and communicated well to help accommodate our needs. Our dogs got along well in her home and her updates and pictures were reassuring and put me at ease when we went out of town. our dogs are big babies when it comes to going outside in the rain and the whole weekend was a wet mess so I was so grateful Heather was able to get them out and keep them company this weekend.”
“Jim is an amazing pet care giver! I have used him many times and will continue to do so if he is available during the times I need. He is engaged in the care of all dogs and keep the owners informed each day. He is a highly recommended sitter!! Thank you Jim! 🤩”
“David was very responsive during the booking process, and kept us very well-informed about our pup's stay with him with lots of pictures and messages. I would definitely book with him again.”
“Candice did a wonderful job caring for our dog! She was communicative throughout the booking, pre-arrival, during care, and through pick up. She genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Suzi was very kind to my old Bucky. She took special care of him with his particular needs and limitations. I highly recommend her and will certainly use her again when I have the need.”
“Maria goes above and beyond to care for dogs. She cooks for dogs in her care. There were times I was thinking “my dog is eating better than I am”. She sends multiple daily photos and videos. You could immediately tell, it was more than just a job to her. Her, and her entire family, went above and beyond to make my dog feel right at home during my last 2 weeks away. I would recommend her for anyone who feels that dogs are a member of the house and I will be using her again for future trips from home.”
“Another fantastic experience with Cory and Angela who went above and beyond to accommodate our family in an uncontrollable situation with our flights getting back home. I don’t think our dogs wanted to leave when we picked them up. Especially taking great care of our diabetic dog with providing insulin and medications.”
“Michelle was awesome! I was nervous about leaving my dog in a boarding facility since I had only adopted Peggy from a rescue a few months ago. Michelle gave her a warm, home-like environment where I knew she was safe and well cared for while my family was on vacation. She sent daily updates, took great care of Peggy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town. Michelle was also incredibly responsive both before and after the booking, which made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for her help and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Cheryl and Gustavo were great hosts/sitters for my boy Luke. They provided regular updates and I could tell when I picked up Luke he was a little sad to go. Thanks and I highly recommend if you need a sitter.”
“So pleased with the way that Joy took care of my dog for a week. She has a large fenced back yard that allowed my dog to spend many hours outside with her and her family. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you Joy!”
“Jordyn was everything we wanted in a sitter! Chance was socialized and engaged from start to finish. Jordyn sent us photos daily, which was so helpful alongside my anxiety. My boy was spoiled rotten! I will always recommend her for anyone on Rover.”
“My pup’s stay with Cindy was absolutely wonderful! Cindy was communicative, flexible, sent frequent updates and pictures, AND provided special care for my special needs girl. She and her husband are kind, friendly people who clearly love dogs. I can’t thank them enough and would recommend to anybody!”
“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.”
“Stephen is just the BEST person to take care of your dog! He watched my two very anxious havanese and was so kind and caring and thoughtful! He sent me constant updates and photos and just loved on my dogs like they were his own. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat!!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Stacie was wonderful with Kensie. She took many photos, showing how Kensie was doing each day. I would recommend her to watch your pet and will use her in the future!”
“She was great, we did a meet and great and was friendly, loving towards my dog. Very patient and accommodating with changes on the book. My dog and hers got along great. I will book her again for sure!”
“This is the second time we have left our Newfie with Andrew and his family. Once again our Millie was treated like a Queen. She obviously received lots of attention as she was hesitant to leave when I came to pick her up. I just booked her next stay.”
