“I booked my Frenchie to stay with Amber, and my furry little lovebug was so cared for and loved! He has found his home away from home. Amber sent pics and texts daily. This was my pup's 1st time away from home, and it was just what my mommy-pup heart needed. Additionally, my plans changed from R&R to medical care, with constant schedule changes in between. Amber was extremely flexible, and she even reached out to see if additional time was needed. Amber also limits the number of dogs, the sizes, and the breeds she cares for, which is a definite plus for me. Don't hesitate to book with her; you will have such peace of mind for your pup.”
“Elly loves staying a Julie’s! She’s happy when we drop her off and happy (& very tired) when we pick her up! Julie keeps us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos.”

“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”
“I love Audree. She is so patient with my Lyric. Lyric is a diva already and such a lovable little puppy. I hate leaving her to go anywhere and this is our second time using Audree and I feel so comfortable leaving Lyric with her. She constantly updated me and sent lots of pictures. She is definitely our go to sitter. Thank you again Audree!”
“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”
“And again I want to thank Heather for taking such a great care of my dog! Every time Floki comes home happy and relaxed. He loves her so much and knowing my pup is loved and in great hands puts me at ease while I’m away.”
“Laurie was exceptionally welcoming to Bruce! Got endless photos and updates and was very happy to see Bruce having an excellent time! Additionally Laurie was extremely accommodating as weekend plans had to be extended due to flight delays and such getting back into the local area. Laurie is very helpful and quick to respond. Would highly recommend to anyone as it is for certain your pet will be well taken care of.”
“She sent photo updates every day and Frankie had a great time and was well cared for. She also has crates and toys available so I didn’t have to pack it myself which was nice.”
“Matisa was amazing! She is so kind hearted and made me feel comfortable within minutes of meeting her so I was automatically at ease leaving my dog there - on very short notice by the way (so grateful!). I could tell Loki felt right at home with her family and family dog. He had a big yard to roam, which I’m sure he loved. Matisa sent updates and pictures often which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Tiffany is a compassionate pet care giver whom has shown my dog Max much love while we were away for weeks at a time. If you are looking for that special one that will allow you to relax while you are away on business or vacay. She’s the one. Thanks Tiffany”
“I'm so grateful to have found Bryan and Brooke to take care of my little guy. They were absolutely wonderful! They kept me updated with photos and videos, and treated my doggie like their own.

“Rosalina was amazing! She saved our life as we had an emergency which had us looking for a puppy sitter last minute and Rosalina responded within 10 minutes and quickly agreed to watch our puppy. Her family was so welcoming, she sent pictures every few hours with updates, and responded fast if u asked any questions. We will for sure reach out to Rosalina for any future needs!”
“Rebeca is such a nice lady. Every day I receive photo or video from her of coco. It's been more than a day since coco came back home, and everything looks normal. I believe coco was well taken care of there!”
“I have 2 dogs that are polar opposites; one that is fearful and cautions, and the other one very social and goofy. We felt very comfortable leaving them with Karla, she gave them the time needed to acclimate and warm up, and they had a blast! We also appreciated the constant pictures and updates as to how they were doing and getting along. Thank you Karla for taking such great care of our Basil + Cashew!”
“Kathryn did an excellent job watching our beagle. She posted updates daily and took her on daily walks. We will use her again in the future. Thanks for taking care of her.”

“I was seeking reputable drop-in service for my cats on the internet and came across the Rover.com website, which was extremely easy to use, offering 5 star services. That's when I reached out to Allie. Upon meeting her, I liked her from the first moment. She was both professional and personable, and my discernment was that she would be completely trustworthy. It was evident from the start that she is a "natural" with kitty cats. My husband and I were completely at ease with having Allie drop-in on our "fur babies", allowing us to enjoy our family vacation. We truly appreciated all the updates she gave us on our pets, including the photos and videos. She went above and beyond to ensure all of our kitties' needs were met. I most definitely will call on Addie again when we have to be out of town.”
“Bethany took excellent care of my dogs! She was able to effortlessly take care of each dogs’ particular needs and was very accommodating of all their special instructions. She was also very communicative and punctual. I would absolutely recommend Bethany and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was great! I loved her notes and pictures! She was very communicative and always let me know when she was coming over! I would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Although I love dogs, cats will always have a special place in my heart! From the sassiest personalities to the sweetest cuddle bugs, I truly adore them all. My family has had cats for as long as I can remember, so I grew up caring for them and have experience with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and needs. During college, I also pet-sat for coworkers' cats, from a sassy, energetic duo to a pair of Persians with their own unique care needs. I understand how important routines are for cats and I'm always happy to meet them where they're comfortable! I love being able to provide playtime, quiet company, or an hour-long cuddle session, whatever your pet needs to feel happy and healthy!
“Mandi kindly accommodated our late booking and then our later request of adding on a few visits at the end of our trip. Her visit summaries were sweetly detailed, and we could tell she was affectionate and loving toward our cat with her photos and videos as well. We will book with her again!”
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“Laurie did a great job! Aside from taking care of Toulouse, she noticed the ceiling attic door was coming apart and notified us. I was concerned about the house getting too hot but she said the temp was good. Toulouse was also in good spirits when we returned,”
“Matisa U was very friendly and took extreme care of our fur baby. She communicated well and sent pictures of Hazel during our time away from her. I feel that Hazel had a great time and enjoyed herself. I would definitely recommend Matisa to to my family and friends and will definitely return to her for her services. Thank you!”

“Linda and family took great care of Layla. She stresses easily in her old age but not at all stressed with them. They communicated with me several times during her stay and even sent pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Laurie was very good with my dog and very knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt that she provided very good care and that my dog was in good hands. Her fenced in backyard has plenty of shade and is great for breeds that like to be outside and roam. I recommend her for taking care of your dog.”
“Tiffany was an absolute delight to book with!! From the very beginning, she was very prompt in her responses and answered any questions that I had. I am a newer dog mom, so she put me at ease due to her kindness and professionalism. She was very flexible with drop-off/pickup times, which I know can be tough for most. That was a huge plus! She also communicated throughout the day with updates and cute photos of my fur baby so I knew he was safe and well taken care of. If I could, I would give her 10/5 stars! I definitely plan to book with her again in the near future! Thanks again Tiffany!”
“Audree is amazing!! The second my dog sees Audree, he’s running out of the car in excitement. Seeing his reaction always calms me down because I know he’s being taken care of, and loved just as we would at home :) she’s super flexible and sends pictures/videos throughout his stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Everything went well Erica was always ready for my to drop off Cosmo despite it typically be very early. Cosmo can be kind of a dirty dog, but she kept him clean and well taken care of. She updated me on how he was doing and sent pictures.”
About: I've had dogs for 17 years. I love all pets! I treat dog sitting dogs as if they are my own. I have 1 dog of my own who loves when we have visitors. I have had many repeat customers, and I miss them when they leave. I work from home, have a doggie door and a fenced in yard. I take the dogs out regularly for play and potty breaks. The dogs will never be left alone. I can crate a dog if need be and have my own crate. I have 1 dog who is very much submissive. I have a 3 level house so if dogs need to be separated that is not an issue.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!
About: Unfortunately, working and moving a lot. I cannot give the best life to my dog and cat anymore. I had to leave them with my brother but I would love to give some support to pet owners who are busy due to work and life. Monday to Friday after 6 pm. Weekends and holidays all day long. I love going for walks, feed them, or I have them over the weekend. I would love to give a house and take care of pets in my apartment. I live by myself, but I work a 9-5 job.
About: Feed, exercise, medicate, observe behavior and health, offer emotional support, clean living spaces, and communicate with owners for comprehensive, reliable pet care. Daily walks guaranteed.

“Zorra and Theodore were SOOOOOO happy with their stay with Jorge's family! We received several pictures. We appreciated how they made our dog care request work out with their busy schedule! Next time we travel to Stafford, we will definitely request Jorge's family.”
“I feel good knowing Rocky is safe with Eldeen & her family. This is his second time going to doggy daycare at Eldeen’s house & he was tugging to go into the house once we arrived. I will definitely continue booking Eldeen for daycare & would recommend her.”
“This was Shelby’s second time with Matisa and her family, and we will be back! Shelby even recognized Matisa’s house when we arrived and was very wiggly before we went inside. It was good for her to interact with other dogs too.”
“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”
“Amber was absolutely excellent! My husband and I were able to run errands and spend time together outside our home in peace knowing Rocky was in good hands. We received frequent video and picture updates and Rocky looked to be right at home. Thank you so much Amber for everything!”
