“Stacie was an absolute amazing! She took care of both my dogs; Duke and Rosie, for six days. Rosie stayed with Stacie before, but it was the first time for Duke. Stacie sent photos of both dogs multiple times a day. Duke had a knee surgery couple of years ago, so we were a little concerned, but Stacie was very cautious so he doesn’t hurt himself playing. Rosie is an anxious dog and takes a little time to warm up to people, but has no trouble introducing herself with other dogs, Stacie put us as ease! She provides regular updates throughout the day. In every photo, my dogs looked happy and well cared for. Duke and Rosie were shown a lot of love and attention during their time with Stacie and they came home happy and healthy. I could not have asked for a better person to look after both my dogs. We love Stacie! You are truly an awesome and so good with our two dogs. Many thanks again. We really appreciate all you’ve done with both Duke and Rosie!”
“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“Heather did such an incredible job of taking care of my beagles! She researched their behaviors and preferences. She schedule an introduction time for them to get familiar with where they would be staying and the fun dogs they would be meeting. I am rally thankful that Heather was available to take care of my dogs!”
“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“I am so happy that Rachel watched our Cooper while we were out of town for 14 days. It was going to be the first time leaving him for that long period of time and I was a bit worried, but when I met Rachel during the meet and greet, I knew Cooper would be in good hands. She is caring and knows a lot about taking care of dogs. She sent us pictures and/or videos everyday and updates on how Cooper was doing. I would definitely have Rachel take care of Cooper again! Thank you Rachel!!”
“John and Joanna were wonderful with our dogs as usual! Their attention to detail is so reassuring. One of our dogs needed continued medication and they were so good about keeping her on track. They consistently kept me informed. I will continue to use their pet sitting services because I believe there is no one out there who could care for them more.”
“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“This was my first experience with Rover and we were very anxious. However we were very satisfied with The service. Caroline and her family took a great care of my baby and kept us updated with pics,..... I would highly recommend her.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old pup with Jaime, Mike and family. Jaime sent me updates with pictures assuring me he was a happy boy. It was a mini vacation for my little guy. I will definitely use Jaime and Mike as a pet sitter again.”
“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.”
“Stephen was wonderful with our dog, Alex. Alex has Cushing's Disease and needs to drink lots of water and then go potty multiple times during the day. Stephen was very accepting of that and welcomed us warmly during the Meet and Greet, as well as drop off. We only needed someone for about 12 hours. Stephen treated Alex like a member of his family. They went on several walks together and Stephen sent multiple updates during the day.Alex loved staying with him and his family. We would absolutely recommend Stephen as a dog sitter and would definitely choose him again.”
“Katherine is an excellent sitter! I boarded my Yorkipoo with her for 4 days. She sent updates and pictures. She definitely loves dogs and took very good care of my baby. I am happy I found her!”
“Taylor is a wonderful sitter. She is very caring and provides great care to our dog - Sky. Always providing us timely updates on Sky’s condition while he is with her. We will definitely use her service again.”
“Max was immediately comfortable with Barry and Cheryl, and in their home. I could tell they took good care of him, and that Max had a good week with them. Communication was good and Barry sent pictures during the stay. They clearly love animals and I highly recommend them.”
“Dana is our go-to when it comes to care for our pup and this our third or fourth time using her and the longest we’ve been away from our guy! We got daily pupdates and he had a great time with his daily long walks and spending time outside. We all love Dana!”
“This was Frank’s first time staying with Noelle, and he made himself right at home. I think this is because she is a gentle, loving person. She was great about updating me as well. Very satisfied!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Catherine. It was obvious that he was well cared for. We could tell from the pictures that Catherine sent with regularity that he was happy and comfortable in her home. He came home today and settled very nicely right back into his routine. We also appreciated Catherine’s flexibility when our flights changed and we had to add on an extra night. We will definitely be using Catherine’s services again in the future.”

“We hired Alexandra for drop-ins for our cat and she was great! At our first meeting she immediately was sitting on the floor giving our cat the affection he was requesting, and he was so happy. While we were gone she gave him all the cuddles he needed (we could tell by his behavior when we returned) and she followed the instructions we left. She always responded to messages quickly and communicated clearly. Definitely recommend.”
“Samantha was great! She was responsive, thorough, and sent pictures of my cats every time she dropped in. She even got my shy cat to come up to her! Highly recommend!”
“Having a 19 year old cat, we did not want to leave her with just anyone while we were anyway. Daniel was willing to come by for a meet and greet to make sure he was a good match. He was excellent to work with for set up and came by on schedule and spent time feeding and providing company in our absence. Daniel provided pictures for each visit which was comforting. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and friendly with your pet, he is your person.”
“Christi was absolutely amazing taking care of our little Minji! This was our first time using a pet sitter and we were hesitant but Christi dissolved any of our worries. Not only was she super attentive and sweet to our little kitty, she also sent us detailed updates each day with some of the cutest pictures we have ever had of Minji. Christi will forever be our go-to and she should be yours too!”
About: From ages 13 to 18, I began regularly volunteering for Paws for Seniors, a rescue organization that prepares animal companions for senior citizens while also encouraging the adoption of adult and senior pets. I primarily worked to feed, clean up after, and socialize the cats. During winter and summer breaks in high school and college, I frequently cared for various neighbors' pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. Since graduating, I have had numerous regular dog walking and cat sitting gigs, some of which have included house sitting and the administration of daily medications.
“Kelly was amazing with our cats while we were away for an extended trip. She had excellent communication and took the sweetest pictures for us. She brought in a ton of packages for us as well while we were away which was so appreciated. Will definitely use her again!”
“Zachary checked in our two kitties while we were away for a week. He was super responsive and sent some great pictures of both - one of which is almost always hiding! He confidently was able to administer anxiety meds and was even able to go over for an emergency visit to check on one of the automatic feeders when it went offline. I felt SO good leaving them in the care of Zachary and will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Isabelle did a great job with my two senior kitties. She paid special attention to the health of one of them who I’m worried about. Made sure they were both eating and getting some extra protein and played with them. She was reliable and very timely, kept to her schedule as discussed and took care of the little pans. Will hire her again!”
“I must say, both my wife and I are very impressed. We have a temperamental cat who has only ever sniffed a few humans. We thought he would just hide every time Leigh came over, but by day 4 she had him dancing around for pets. No complaints whatsoever.”
About: Whether your cat is a cuddly furball or a distant star, I’m happy to accommodate! I have lived with and spent years entertaining cats of all kinds, from shy to sassy. Please let me know what your cat would prefer, and I can admire from afar or entertain!
“Emma went above and beyond to take care of my Pooffy. I was away from home, outside of US for.more than a month. She prompty stepped in and took the best care of my fur son. She is very well communicative, fun and loved pooffy a lot. Very aptient and always ready to support the pet parents. I have been taking her services several times and definitely can vouch for her! 🌷🌷”
“Kate is the best!! Wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch my 17 year old kitty! She sends updates and pics after every visit and girl is never stressed or seems alone when I get home!! Highly recommended!”
“Maddy was awesome!!! She took care of our cat as her own. She has a special touch because our cat doesn’t like anyone, but she accepted Maddy as part of the family. I will use Maddy again and I highly recommend her. She is professional and trustworthy.”
About: I have had cats most of my life and have cared for other people’s cats in the past. I have 2 cats of my own which i have had since they were kittens. I have been able to give them medication when they have gotten sick. I also have taken care of my sisters diabetic senior cat who needs insulin shots. I very much love cats a lot!
“Working with Danielle was fantastic! We are so grateful that she accepted our request to care for our young kitty while we were out of town. Regarding pet care, Danielle is certainly the perfect blend of experience and kindness, giving us confidence that she knows well both how to care for our pet and how to make his visit terrific. Danielle certainly exceeded our expectations on both fronts, and for that we are appreciative. We look forward to working with her again!”
“Very nice! Assured me that my cats were in good hands and I didn’t have to worry while on vacation. I could tell from pictures that my cats were happy and well taken care of. Will use for my next vacation for sure!”

“Beth has been an absolute godsend for us! Our boy Dakota has never been a fan of daycare but he is treated like family while he is there and is happy to see her each and every day! Thank you for giving us peace of mind and caring for our boy!!”
“Rachel was very nice and even thought our puppy is a lot to handle and all over the place, she seemed like she could handle it. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: As a sitter, I give every pet the same amount of patience, attention, and care. I’ve always had a dog since I was young and currently own two dogs named Bravo and Taco. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for when taken care of. For senior pets, I understand the importance of gentle care, medication schedules, slower walks, and extra attention to comfort and mobility needs. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and adapting to each pet’s specific needs to make sure they receive the best care possible. I currently stay at home, throughout the day I watch my dogs. I take them to use the bathroom every 3-4 hours or less if needed. I have a fenced yard and two dogs named Bravo and Taco. I watch dogs throughly to make sure they are well taken care of. I own dog toys to provide for dogs as needed. I am experienced with giving dogs medication as needed.
“Taylor was wonderful with our puppy! This was his very first time with a sitter, and she made the experience so easy and reassuring. She was patient, kind, and helped him warm up to her dogs quickly. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We feel confident about leaving him for boarding thanks to how well the day care went. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had a dogs all my life. My latest one passed last year.(miss him so much). I’m experienced in being with them. I can walk them, cuddle them and take care of them when you enjoy your vacation at peace. I work from home. So i can be with your fur ball at home. Monday to Friday. For Weekends we will have plan accordingly.Feel free to contact me with questions. I have a pretty sizable deck and fenced yard. So its very secure for the pet to run around and have some fun playing in the yard.
About: I grew up with dogs and helped train one from puppyhood, gaining hands-on experience with obedience and daily care. I also regularly dog sat for my neighbors, building trust with both pets and their owners. While I’m currently in college and don’t have a dog of my own, I stay active by volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I have very open availability over the summer and can be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I do occasionally spend time with family about an hour away, but I always plan ahead to ensure I’m fully available and committed to any bookings. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs, providing a safe and social environment for visiting pets. Dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, play, and supervision
“Book without delay!! Benji proved to be a communicative, responsive and kind host for our pup, Cooper. Cooper had a great time in his care, evidenced by lovely pictures of fun play time activities & a happy and tired dog at day's end. :) Looking forward to rebooking Benji again.”
About: I’ve spent decades loving and caring for all kinds of animals, dogs, cats, birds, etc, so you can say I’m pretty fluent in ‘pet’! I’m K9 CPR certified, and I also have hands on experience with diabetic and senior pets, giving them the extra care, patience, and attention they deserve. Got a high energy pup? I’m ready to run, play, and burn off that zoomie energy! But really if a 1, 2, or 3 mile run is what your pup needs, then I am your girl! Prefer slow strolls and snuggles? I’m just as happy to take it easy. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Most importantly, every pet in my care gets treated like family with lots of love, attention, and tail wagging fun so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands while you’re away! I'm currently working part time, and can make my own schedule pending your pets' needs. I am available most weekdays between 5am-7:30am, 9am-12pm, and anytime after 3:30pm. Weekends are very flexible. I have a fenced in large backyard in Bristow, Virginia. I have a 10yr old German Shepherd, 'Prime', but have the ability to keep pets separate if you should request.
“My puppy had a great time at Mai’s house. My puppy likes playing with other dogs. I bet that my puppy enjoyed playing with them a lot. my puppy was very comfortable there, because my puppy understands Japanese and English. I am very happy to find Mai who I can trust. I will continue taking my puppy to Mai. Thank you !!! See you soon”
“My Great Dane loves this family! He got really excited the second time we pulled up to their house and Darnell and his family are so reliable! They are very organized they go above and beyond to keep your pup safe and happy! I highly recommend Darnell.”
About: "Always do the right thing even when no one's watching." With decades of experience caring for big/small pups, cats, farm animals, Guinea pigs, and more, I offer a cozy & loving environment in my peaceful Cottage-style home for your furr babie(s). I have a big fenced yard for the pups to securely play, run, and a convenient doggy door for their convenience. Your pup will get lots of love and cuddles, guaranteed. ❤️ IMPORTANT: When requesting to book me, you will be promoted to select one of the two services I provide: The first is "Boarding", which means your pup will stay with me overnight for consecutive days in a row and getting lots of love and endless attention 🤗. The second service is "Doggy Day Care", consisting of your pup being dropped off by you (or designated guardian) and picked up that same day by you or guardian of choice. This also means your pup might get to play with other client's fur baby in my home for Doggy Day Care, and not staying overnight. If your fur baby requires overnight care even on a day that is not consecutive, and you prefer they're not around other client's pets but mine (Teddy & Daphne), then the service you want is definitely "Boarding". Happy to clarify this with you during our first Meet'n Greet" and modify the booking for you if necessary. ❤️ Thank you so much 😊 I'm the favorite aunt of many furry babies care for within the safety of my home for friends and families. I'd be so happy to provide the care and love to fur babies needing a getaway while their parents go on vacation :). If you're interested in a house visit or a meet'n greet for your pup(s) to meet my two little pups before booking, that works great! Simply send me a message and I'll coordinate with you :) I am available holidays too!! Warm Hugs! ENVIRONMENT: I have a 0.22 acre fenced yard, a doggy door, a patio with a Ring Camera and sensor lights. I have cameras all around the house as well and will never walk the babies without their leash and harness. Your pups will not leave my premises or be under the care of no one else but me. Depending on what service you need, the pups sleep with me, and will receive endless cuddles, and meals (following the owner's instructions), and will get along with my very two friendly small dogs, Teddy and Daphne.
“Chaoran is great giving updates and Appa seems to really make himself at home with her! I appreciate her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and booking without much notice!”
About: Hi! My name is Mikayla and I’m a recent college graduate looking to make some money before I start my full time job! I’ve taken care of my family dogs, neighbors pets, family friends dogs, fostered many dogs while in college and it’s easily one of my favorite things to do! I love meeting new dogs of all kinds and giving them love and belly rubs. I have experience taking care of dogs aged 2 - senior dogs around the age 15. I also am very good at taking care of blind, deaf, or disabled dogs as well. I recently graduated college so I have a lot of free time until I start my full time job in July! I am available every day of the week! I have a fenced in yard, bed crate, dog food, diapers, pet care supplies, toys, etc! I have all the items needed to take care of your dog in the best way possible.
“Stephanie and her family are phonenominal! My dog had her first visit yesterday and was happy and tired from playing with their awesome dog, who is now her new best friend. I can't say enough about how Stephanie and her family went far above and beyond the call of duty yesterday, for us! I can't give this dog loving family enough accolades!”
About: 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.
“Cindy has been so kind and welcoming since the first time we met her. She takes great care of our Lab, Wesley, and we know he will always have a great day with her and Bella. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for being responsive and reliable!”

“I was very nervous leaving my puppy alone after 6 months of furlough. Elmer took the time to get to know her and gives her the attention she needs. I am gone for a large part of the day. When I come home she is happy and the house is in one piece.”
“Lola is great! She is very trustworthy & reliable, and took great care of my best buddy while I was going into the office for work! We greatly appreciated the help and will certainly reach back out in the future.”
“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”

About: Cat sat my sisters 2 cats for several weeks throughout the past 3 years. i treat them as if they are my own, and will do so for your pets as well. I’m currently home from the summer from college! I do not have any prior commitments, so taking care of your fur-babies will be my top priority I have experience taking care of two cats, both with very different personalities. one is very social and friendly, while the other one is extremely anxious. I have gotten used to managing both of these styles.
About: Does your pup like to walk, wander, or play? I’m ready to go! I enjoy long walks, sniffing adventures, hikes, and visits to the dog park. Prepared with extra water and tick combs, I will check that your dog is happy and healthy! I’m currently on my summer break, so I’m happy to work with you, from early morning to later in the day! I am available Monday through Saturday. Having experienced my own stubborn dog, I am patient and willing to work hard to establish trust with your dog. I am careful to keep dogs away from human food or dangerous objects (unless explicitly allowed), and I will absolutely communicate with you in case of an emergency.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a giant breed dog and three cats, currently have two cats of my own, and I am an animal shelter volunteer! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and temperament (both laid-back cuddle bugs and high-energy dogs that need extra exercise and attention). Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make their time with me stress-free and fun! I just graduated college and my full time job doesn’t start until mid July, so other than the occasional hanging out with friends, I have a wide open schedule! I am extremely flexible and will follow the owner’s usual routine as much as possible. I am comfortable with leashed walks as well as supervising dogs in fenced yards — I will not walk dogs off-leash or leave unsupervised in yards. I am happy to take dogs on adventures or just chill, but for the most part I am happy to do whatever the owner prefers!
“Daniel was fantastic with Jack! He was always on time and super reliable during the two weeks I was away. With Glenn working 6/10 shifts, Dan’s daily walks gave Jack a much-needed break and helped us out a lot. We’re really grateful for the care and consistency— we’ll definitely be using him again. Highly recommend!”
“Argelia has been great. She’s been able to give me peace of mind now that I’m back to work full time and the babes aren’t used to being alone. I love getting the pictures from the Rover card and her updates are always very detailed.”
About: Love all animas and they know it. I am able to make a quick bond with any animal. I love them all. I have watched dogs cats and fish. Can do it in your home or take a dog tor other small animal to my home. We have quinea pigs we had bearded dragon and hamster and turtle in past so we have all kinds of experience!! I am home for summer with my kids so will be able to attend to your pets needs. I can adjust my schedule based on what is needed for your pets!! I am able to take a friendly pet home with us or go to your house. I used one it both ways. We have friendly German shepherds and if needed we can keep your dog in our house
About: i have raised puppies and kittens of my own. I also have had a senior dog in the past that i was able to care for. I have experience administering different medications for animals such as oral pills, insulin injections and liquid medicine. I’m currently working part time so i have a lot of time on my hands to care for these animals. I will be attending school as well as working my part time job but both are very short hours. I feel more comfortable going to the clients home because of my pets at home. I would not like to make either of my animals or the clients animals stressed out with the new smells and or noises.
About: I have owned dogs of all sizes all my life. I grew up with German Shepherds as well as Maltese dogs and learned how to take care of different breeds since I was a kid. I currently have a Dachshund whom I take for daily walks to the park every day for 30-60 minutes depending on the weather, I had my dachshund since he was 10 weeks young so I have experience with puppies so I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I also had the chance to take in an older dog until her last days so all of these experiences have made me comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities. I have a flexible work schedule so I plan my dog's walks and routine around this. It's so important for him and any dog to have a comfortable life since they depend on us to enjoy their lives. I have a fenced yard in my home and I'm often making sure my dog or any dog goes potty when they need to and not wait for them necessarily to ask me.
About: From ages 13 to 18, I began regularly volunteering for Paws for Seniors, a rescue organization that prepares animal companions for senior citizens while also encouraging the adoption of adult and senior pets. I primarily worked to feed, clean up after, and socialize the cats. During winter and summer breaks in high school and college, I frequently cared for various neighbors' pets including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. Since graduating, I have had numerous regular dog walking and cat sitting gigs, some of which have included house sitting and the administration of daily medications. I have a free and flexible schedule. As long as I can fit a visit around my other clients and my occasional personal engagements, I should be capable of accommodating your pet at any time of day. I will care for your pet within your home according to your instructions, so I can help give your pet a sense of normalcy and routine while you're away. I make sure to dedicate some time to play and affection outside of the requisite feeding, cleaning, and medication to provide your pet with further comfort. I completely understand that everyone's pets have odd quirks and preferences, and I would be happy to accommodate any strange rituals your pet prefers.

“Stacie was an absolute amazing! She took care of both my dogs; Duke and Rosie, for six days. Rosie stayed with Stacie before, but it was the first time for Duke. Stacie sent photos of both dogs multiple times a day. Duke had a knee surgery couple of years ago, so we were a little concerned, but Stacie was very cautious so he doesn’t hurt himself playing. Rosie is an anxious dog and takes a little time to warm up to people, but has no trouble introducing herself with other dogs, Stacie put us as ease! She provides regular updates throughout the day. In every photo, my dogs looked happy and well cared for. Duke and Rosie were shown a lot of love and attention during their time with Stacie and they came home happy and healthy. I could not have asked for a better person to look after both my dogs. We love Stacie! You are truly an awesome and so good with our two dogs. Many thanks again. We really appreciate all you’ve done with both Duke and Rosie!”

“Leslie is guaranteed the best sitter within the DMV area. She has transformed her home into a dog’s luxury resort, complete with total attentiveness, ultimate amenities, and activities that a dog could only dream of. In addition to all of that, her communications are fantastic and Cash is always so excited to arrive at Ms. Leslie’s and never ready to leave. I’ve never had such peace of mind leaving Cash if/when I have to be out of town.”
“I am so happy that Rachel watched our Cooper while we were out of town for 14 days. It was going to be the first time leaving him for that long period of time and I was a bit worried, but when I met Rachel during the meet and greet, I knew Cooper would be in good hands. She is caring and knows a lot about taking care of dogs. She sent us pictures and/or videos everyday and updates on how Cooper was doing. I would definitely have Rachel take care of Cooper again! Thank you Rachel!!”
“This was the second stay Leo had with Jim. With all the frequent updates and communication, we knew exactly what was going on with our little boy in JIm's sweet home. We felt so lucky to have found a home outside of the home for our little boy. We will definitely book another stay with Jim.”
“This was my first experience with Rover and we were very anxious. However we were very satisfied with The service. Caroline and her family took a great care of my baby and kept us updated with pics,..... I would highly recommend her.”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an excellent experience. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old pup with Jaime, Mike and family. Jaime sent me updates with pictures assuring me he was a happy boy. It was a mini vacation for my little guy. I will definitely use Jaime and Mike as a pet sitter again.”
“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.”
“Stephen was wonderful with our dog, Alex. Alex has Cushing's Disease and needs to drink lots of water and then go potty multiple times during the day. Stephen was very accepting of that and welcomed us warmly during the Meet and Greet, as well as drop off. We only needed someone for about 12 hours. Stephen treated Alex like a member of his family. They went on several walks together and Stephen sent multiple updates during the day.Alex loved staying with him and his family. We would absolutely recommend Stephen as a dog sitter and would definitely choose him again.”
“Dana is our go-to when it comes to care for our pup and this our third or fourth time using her and the longest we’ve been away from our guy! We got daily pupdates and he had a great time with his daily long walks and spending time outside. We all love Dana!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with Catherine. It was obvious that he was well cared for. We could tell from the pictures that Catherine sent with regularity that he was happy and comfortable in her home. He came home today and settled very nicely right back into his routine. We also appreciated Catherine’s flexibility when our flights changed and we had to add on an extra night. We will definitely be using Catherine’s services again in the future.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Mike and his wife! They took wonderful care of my dog, Rusty, while we were on vacation for several days. They went above and beyond, sending me pictures multiple times a day so I could see how happy and comfortable Rusty was. They also shared thoughtful suggestions on how to help with his irritated feet and allergies, which I really appreciated. From start to finish, I felt completely at ease knowing Rusty was in such caring and knowledgeable hands. Mike and his wife were truly amazing, and I will absolutely be asking them to watch Rusty again whenever we need care. 100 STARS!”
“Cindy was wonderful! We appreciated the opportunity for the meet and greet visit and the tour of her property. We felt great about leaving our dog in her care. Our dog Watson who generally is shy was able to adapt very quickly to the new environment and the professional care by Cindy! Thank you so much for giving loving attention to Watson!”
“Camila was awesome! Despite my travel plans adjusting last minute she was extremely accommodating and very communicative throughout the stay. Grateful for her passion and professionalism.”
“There is never any concern when we leave our Golden Retriever with Darnell and family. We are a multiple repeat client and feel blessed that we found them. They have become our friends.”
“Loving family who took great care of Tiger. Would love to bring him back for future stays! I also appreciated the frequent updates, pictures and responsiveness.”
“Maria took amazing care of my dog, Griffin, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, kind, and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. She also sent daily updates and followed the instructions given to her. It was clear she genuinely loves animals and treated Griffin like her own. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
