“Fantastic! John was great with communication before and throughout Manny’s stay. Made sure I was comfortable leaving my baby boy and sent me photos every day. Manny seemed right at home with him, and I was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my boy!”
“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”
“Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.”
“Highly recommend Shannon and her family. We had so many concerns boarding our dog, Murphy, as he has a lot of separation anxiety. Murphy completely bonded with Shannon's daughter and fell in love with her. He slept with her and wouldn't leave her side. I received several photos while we were gone. What a wonderful, warm environment for your furry love to stay in. Thank you, Shannon!”
“We are so happy we have finally found a caring home for our boys. Emily is so nice and took great care of Jax and Louie. She sent us so many pictures every day so we were able to see them while we were gone. We will definitely take them to Emily again.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shawn! We left our two Yorkies, Brooklyn and Charlie, in her care, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the beginning, Shawn made us feel completely comfortable and confident that they were in great hands. She was incredibly caring, attentive, dependable, and treated Brooklyn and Charlie as if they were her own. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were with someone who genuinely cared about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after while we were away. Leaving your dogs with someone else can always be a little stressful, but Shawn made the entire experience easy and worry-free. We came home to two happy Yorkies, which says everything! We would absolutely trust Shawn with Brooklyn and Charlie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond, and we feel very fortunate to have found her. Five stars without question!”
“My dog was so happy at Samantha’s house. She sent me lots of pictures of him. He was happy and it made me feel happy knowing he was treated like family there! She is the best and I will use her every time!”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”
“Emily and Donnie were amazing with Zeus! She made me feel comfortable and sent pictures while I was away on my trip in TN! I will definitely be using them again!”
“Nikko loves it here, Ashley is so attentive and loving my boy loves her home and family. She makes leaving my fur baby much easier when we have to ! We have used her twice now and wouldn’t send him anywhere else!”
“I hit the jackpot when I found Katie. I was so nervous about leaving my Labradoodle with someone overnight. She sent me updates and pictures the entire time he was with her to put me at ease. She was so attentive to him as well, especially since he’s so shy. I will definitely book her again for Bert. She was so good with him.”
“Our mini golden retriever stayed an overnight with Kari and her sweet family. Cookie was embraced and became part of the family. She received great care and was very comfortable Cookie gave this dog airbnb a 5 star review. Thanks to Kari and her family. We hope to return again soon.”
“Marah B. was beyond phenomenal. I picked her because she was one of the highest rated sitters on Rover, and she did nothing short of excellence. My girl Bella was so happy the whole time had a ton of room to run outside in their fence yard and I wouldn't pick anybody else to watch my baby. Thank you, Marah!”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“5 stars isn't enough for Susan and Ken! Kuma was treated like royalty the entire weekend. What blew me away was their incredible communication—even when I was off the grid with zero service, they kept me completely in the loop. They truly put their heart into pet care. If you want total peace of mind while you're away, book Susan and Ken immediately!”
“Kimberly was amazing! She really makes your fur babies feel at home and loved. I constantly got showered with pictures of my babies and how they were doing. They will definitely be going back!”
“We highly recommend David! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our dog, Olive, for a whole week with someone we didn't know. After meeting David, our fears dissipated and we felt pretty confident that Olive would enjoy her stay. David has a calm, gentle demeanor, and Olive seemed relaxed around him from the beginning. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Olive that he texted to us. We will definitely ask David again if we need someone to watch our dog!”

“Kayla is the best! I have a sweet 4 month old kitten "Chandler". She plays and engages with him and he looks forward to her visits. She has taken excellent care of him. Thank you!”
“Sydney was great! We booked last minute and were really relieved she was able to drop in on our kitties while we were away. She communicated well and made us feel like we didn’t have to worry. I realized I missed a few things in my instructions but she was able to roll with it and take care of everything. We really appreciated her help and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Dremma took wonderful care of our two cats! We were gone for several weeks, our cats are older, and one required medication. Dremma will be the first person that we will rebook with when the need arises. Thank you Dremma!!”
“Trina is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her and she took wonderful care of my kitty Izzy. So good in fact I didn't even get meowed at loudly on my return 5 days later! She played with her, fed her let her sit on her lap as much as she wanted which was a lot I'm sure. She's very conscientious and I felt like she cared for my kitty like she would want hers cared for. Izzy looks wonderful and wasn't traumatized by my leaving. BTW, my cat is 17, deaf, arthritic with kid ey disease who is super attached to me so I was terrified to leave her. But once I met Trina at the interview, I knew she would love Izzy as one of her own. I highly highly recommend her for persisting and overnights. She's the best!”

“Kerry was very patient and understanding of our reactive dog while watching our cat as well, and she did a great job with him. Communication and punctuality were excellent and she was receptive to any feedback or suggestions about the dog. She even committed to an additional meet and greet to help make him more comfortable for the pet sitting.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, everything from puppies full of energy to sweet senior pets needing a little extra TLC. My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets like they’re my own. I’m calm, responsible, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in or overnight house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease. Pet care fits into my routine naturally because it genuinely is something I enjoy and value. I’m available weekends! Whether it’s house sitting, drop-ins, or walks, I always make space during the weekend to give your pet consistent love, attention, and care. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow all your instructions carefully and keep your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine a top priority. I take cleanliness and respect for your space seriously, and I’m always mindful of your pet’s unique needs, whether it’s extra snuggles, medications, or quiet time.
About: Reliable, Compassionate Care from Someone Who Truly Gets It As a pet parent myself, especially to a senior dog who needs a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how important it is to have a sitter who treats your dog like family. That personal experience shapes the way I walk, support, and connect with every dog in my care. Puppy Training Support — I reinforce basic commands, leash manners, and positive behaviors to help young dogs build confidence. Senior Dog Expertise — Caring for my own senior dog has taught me how to adjust pacing, provide joint‑friendly routes, manage medications, and offer the calm reassurance older pups need. Behavior‑Sensitive Handling — I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive dogs and use gentle techniques to help them feel secure. Safety‑First Approach — Harness checks, safe routes, and attentive supervision are always part of my routine. Consistent Communication — You’ll receive updates, photos, and notes after every walk so you always know how your dog is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own senior dog. I’m used to planning walks, medication reminders, feeding times, and calm downtime, so integrating additional pet visits is a seamless part of my day. I offer flexible scheduling with dedicated blocks set aside for morning, midday, and early‑evening walks. This helps ensure your dog receives consistent attention without rushed visits or unpredictable timing. Because I maintain a steady routine at home, I’m able to provide: Reliable daily availability — Morning and midday walks are part of my everyday rhythm, making it easy to accommodate regular clients. Structured weekly planning — I map out my schedule in advance so each pet gets focused, unrushed care. Consistency for senior dogs — My experience caring for my own senior dog means I understand how important predictable routines are for older pups. Flexibility for busy owners — I can adjust visit times within reasonable windows to match your workday or travel plans. Dedicated attention — I never overbook; each walk or visit is scheduled with enough time to give your dog the calm, patient care they deserve. Routine consistency — I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedule exactly as you outline it. Secure entry & exit — Doors, gates, and harnesses are double‑checked before every walk. Calm, respectful presence — I move slowly, speak gently, and let your dog approach at their comfort level. Clean, tidy care — Water bowls are refreshed, messes are cleaned promptly, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Photo updates — You’ll receive notes and pictures so you always know how your dog is doing.

I love animals and make sure to spend extra time with them. I am currently a homemaker and have a very flexible schedule. I can do small walks or check on pets a few times a day as needed.

“We could not have asked for a better experience with Kimberly! She’s communicative and flexible, and Wilson is happy and tired after a fun day of playing! We look forward to many more fun days for Wilson with her!”
“My dog Jimmy has been going for a week now (4 days so far) and can not imagine taking him to anyone else. The setting is better than his last daycare which was too big and he was getting overly anxious. Karlie cares for another dog and has two of her own plus a cat so the place is calmer than the last one. Karlie and her family are all very nice and seem to like having Jimmy there. I will take him back whenever I require daycare for him. I just wish I was not moving out of the area soon and will no longer be able to take him there. At least we found Karlie at the end of our time in Vinton.”
“Marah was awesome and so sweet! We sent her a request super late notice and she accepted right away! She was so flexible with us and our puppy had a GREAT time! He's still tired from a full day of play!”

About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.
About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE: I’m still happy to provide boarding, walking, and drop in visits outside of school hours. I am unable to be home or care for pets from 7am-3pm each day. If your dog can be left for 8 hours, boarding continues to be available during the school year. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!

I understand how important it is to keep them on their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I also have experience dog sitting three dogs for an entire month, which taught me how to manage multiple pets at once while keeping up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving each dog the attention they needed. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they're my own. I'll provide plenty of love, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident that they're in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and because I have a very flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and can easily adapt to your pet's routine. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

While my backyard isn't fenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs will always be kept on a leash to ensure their safety.
About: We enjoy having a dog. We do walks, sniff games, chicken broth ice cubes for happy hour in our fenced in yard. We want your dog to feel like they are on vacation when they are with us.

About: I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all ages. Employers, family and friends have trusted me with their pets to sit, walk, groom, and administer medical treatments. I own and care for multiple pets of my own. I also have some experience in the vet medicine field. I regularly make sure pets have the general care they need to survive as well as any special daily routines they need. I have the ability and training to provide basic and some medical attention as needed. I can crate your dog if requested and will treat them as my own fur baby.
“Sydney is so good with our Enzo! She’s attentive to how he’s feeling on the walk (which is key with the heat and his puppy age), what training we’re working on (she reinforces what we’re focusing on), and making sure he has a great time. She’s our go to!”

“Jessika was easily the best I’ve found in the app by far. I work long hours and require someone to stop by for a walk and food/water break. She was great with my puppy and even left a little surprise for her. My little girl seemed much less stressed after her visits and it completely removed the stress of worrying about her while working. I would absolutely recommend Jessika!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and over 40 years of hands-on pet care experience. I’m very comfortable with large breeds and currently own a German Shepherd, so I understand the structure, exercise, and consistency they need. I’m also experienced with puppies, seniors, feeding routines, and daily care. One of the main reasons I do pet care is because I know how hard it can be to find someone who truly works around a real schedule. Many sitters expect dogs to be done for the night far too early, which simply doesn’t work for most households. I believe dogs should be let out when they actually need to go — including later evening potty breaks. Now retired, I have the flexibility to design drop-ins around your dog’s normal routine, whether that’s meals, walks, playtime, or letting them out between 9–10pm. I treat every pet like my own and focus on calm, dependable, loving care so you can leave with peace of mind. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I can accommodate early mornings, later evenings, and customized routines for meals, walks, and potty breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My goal is to make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions and take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with large breeds, puppies, seniors, and pets who need consistency and structure. In your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive. I make sure doors and gates are secure, routines are followed carefully, and pets are never rushed. I’m happy to provide updates during visits so you know your pet is doing well. If requested, I’m also happy to bring in mail or packages during visits, which can be helpful while you’re away. Being retired allows me to be fully present and attentive, so both your pet and your home are well cared for.
About: Hi there! I'm a young professional who's grown up surrounded by animals ever since I can remember.

I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Work officially ends around 4:30pm for me most days - however, my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate various pet care needs, anywhere between early morning visits to evening care. Weekends are open for more extensive services like boarding/home stays. I'm committed to working with you to provide consistent, attentive care that fits your pet's routine and your schedule.

About: Owned a dog since forever. Currently have 2 shelties-3yrs and 1yrs old. But have taken care of dogs all breeds, sizes, ages, and stages of life. I am currently taking a break from my career to reset, recharge, and just enjoy life with my 2 young Shelties. Daily we walk, run, play. It is part of our life. Cat wise my cats care is part of our daily routine. I spoil them and have cat trees in windows for them to watch the neighborhood and provide them with all their favorite toys. Walking and drop in service wise- let me know times, dates, ways to enter the house. If able I would love to bring my dogs to join. If not that is fine. I am willing to walk as much and as long as needed. Drop in share what you need and I will help. I can also give medications if needed.
About: Reliable, Compassionate Care from Someone Who Truly Gets It As a pet parent myself, especially to a senior dog who needs a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how important it is to have a sitter who treats your dog like family. That personal experience shapes the way I walk, support, and connect with every dog in my care. Puppy Training Support — I reinforce basic commands, leash manners, and positive behaviors to help young dogs build confidence. Senior Dog Expertise — Caring for my own senior dog has taught me how to adjust pacing, provide joint‑friendly routes, manage medications, and offer the calm reassurance older pups need. Behavior‑Sensitive Handling — I’m patient with shy, anxious, or reactive dogs and use gentle techniques to help them feel secure. Safety‑First Approach — Harness checks, safe routes, and attentive supervision are always part of my routine. Consistent Communication — You’ll receive updates, photos, and notes after every walk so you always know how your dog is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I already structure my days around caring for my own senior dog. I’m used to planning walks, medication reminders, feeding times, and calm downtime, so integrating additional pet visits is a seamless part of my day. I offer flexible scheduling with dedicated blocks set aside for morning, midday, and early‑evening walks. This helps ensure your dog receives consistent attention without rushed visits or unpredictable timing. Because I maintain a steady routine at home, I’m able to provide: Reliable daily availability — Morning and midday walks are part of my everyday rhythm, making it easy to accommodate regular clients. Structured weekly planning — I map out my schedule in advance so each pet gets focused, unrushed care. Consistency for senior dogs — My experience caring for my own senior dog means I understand how important predictable routines are for older pups. Flexibility for busy owners — I can adjust visit times within reasonable windows to match your workday or travel plans. Dedicated attention — I never overbook; each walk or visit is scheduled with enough time to give your dog the calm, patient care they deserve. Routine consistency — I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedule exactly as you outline it. Secure entry & exit — Doors, gates, and harnesses are double‑checked before every walk. Calm, respectful presence — I move slowly, speak gently, and let your dog approach at their comfort level. Clean, tidy care — Water bowls are refreshed, messes are cleaned promptly, and your home is left exactly as I found it. Photo updates — You’ll receive notes and pictures so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I have previously volunteered at a rescue for 10 years. I have fostered many animals for the rescue and kept some of those as well. I can handle almost anything. I've also had my fair share of special needs animals, so I'm comfortable handling pets whose needs are out of the ordinary.

I can drop in and spend time with your pets or walk your dogs when needed. I love being around animals so I am happy to just hang out with your pets to give them some extra love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was younger. It began with dog sitting until I convinced my parents to allow us to get our own dog. We now have 3 dogs and I have a cat on my own.

I love animals of all kinds and would love to help people would may not have the most time or availability some days to give their pet optimal care!

“Fantastic! John was great with communication before and throughout Manny’s stay. Made sure I was comfortable leaving my baby boy and sent me photos every day. Manny seemed right at home with him, and I was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my boy!”
“First visit! I really appreciated the communication and coordination, so easy to work with. Hops (the dog) came home happy and healthy. Theresa took great care of her; I would book again and refer her!”
“Best. Sitter. EVER. I've tried and been happy (or not) with many boarders, but Jody goes way above and beyond. She's not just knowledgeable and reassuring, she's sweet and kind and will love your fur babies for you. I live in Roanoke, whereas she's in Moneta. But this was such a blessing!! I wanted somewhere Harriet could run and play and feel free and happy. Jody delivers this in a big way- she has several yards of varying sizes with over animals to play with. I kept telling my girl she was going to summer camp, and it turned out to be so true. I don't think she even missed me that much! Please don't let the distance deter you. Jody even offers pickup and drop off services. Harriet gets so anxious going to a boarder's house, but as soon as Jody pulled up, Harriet started wagging her tail and jumped right in her car before I could say goodbye. She's with the dogs all the time- you won't be leaving your pup with someone who leaves them alone. Harriet is very social, and I can tell from just the pictures and videos that her physical, mental, and emotional needs are being met in every way. Please seriously consider Jody- she's phenomenal. I don't really want to tell you this because I want to keep her all to myself, but that would be a gross injustice. She's the best. I won't even consider anyone else again- I'll just move my vacation plans around.”
“Highly recommend Shannon and her family. We had so many concerns boarding our dog, Murphy, as he has a lot of separation anxiety. Murphy completely bonded with Shannon's daughter and fell in love with her. He slept with her and wouldn't leave her side. I received several photos while we were gone. What a wonderful, warm environment for your furry love to stay in. Thank you, Shannon!”
“We are so happy we have finally found a caring home for our boys. Emily is so nice and took great care of Jax and Louie. She sent us so many pictures every day so we were able to see them while we were gone. We will definitely take them to Emily again.”
“My dog was so happy at Samantha’s house. She sent me lots of pictures of him. He was happy and it made me feel happy knowing he was treated like family there! She is the best and I will use her every time!”
“Mac & his dog Beaker were friendly & welcoming. Murphy was with them 2 nights before being picked up by my daughter-in-law. She reported an easy pickup & that Mac had everything ready to go. Mac had reported that Murphy fit right in.”
“Candace boarded our Cane Corso 7/11- 7/12. She was so gracious to take him at the last minute even though it was her birthday and she had plans. It was our first time boarding him so my husband and I were anxious and Candace was wonderful, she didn’t mind me calling several times to check on Boss. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Candace you were wonderful.”
“Nikko loves it here, Ashley is so attentive and loving my boy loves her home and family. She makes leaving my fur baby much easier when we have to ! We have used her twice now and wouldn’t send him anywhere else!”
“I hit the jackpot when I found Katie. I was so nervous about leaving my Labradoodle with someone overnight. She sent me updates and pictures the entire time he was with her to put me at ease. She was so attentive to him as well, especially since he’s so shy. I will definitely book her again for Bert. She was so good with him.”
“Marah B. was beyond phenomenal. I picked her because she was one of the highest rated sitters on Rover, and she did nothing short of excellence. My girl Bella was so happy the whole time had a ton of room to run outside in their fence yard and I wouldn't pick anybody else to watch my baby. Thank you, Marah!”
“Abigail went above and beyond in her care for our Lola! I think Lola enjoyed her visit very much, as it felt like Lola was missing Abigail and Cleo the day we brought her home. 🙂 Thank you for such great care!”
“5 stars isn't enough for Susan and Ken! Kuma was treated like royalty the entire weekend. What blew me away was their incredible communication—even when I was off the grid with zero service, they kept me completely in the loop. They truly put their heart into pet care. If you want total peace of mind while you're away, book Susan and Ken immediately!”
“Kimberly was amazing! She really makes your fur babies feel at home and loved. I constantly got showered with pictures of my babies and how they were doing. They will definitely be going back!”
“We highly recommend David! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our dog, Olive, for a whole week with someone we didn't know. After meeting David, our fears dissipated and we felt pretty confident that Olive would enjoy her stay. David has a calm, gentle demeanor, and Olive seemed relaxed around him from the beginning. We enjoyed the daily pictures of Olive that he texted to us. We will definitely ask David again if we need someone to watch our dog!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Lydia was amazing with my pups , she sent updates, videos and pictures the whole time. We will definitely be using her for all our trips out of town from now on. I would give 10 stars if I could!!!”
“Donna is great. She took fantastic care of our Beau. Made sure he got his medicine on time. She took Beau for walks and sent pictures and texts with daily updates on Beau. She was quick to respond to any questions that we had. We would highly recommend Donna for your pet care as well as for our fur baby again. Thank you Donna for taking such good care of Beau.”
“Lawdy was absolutely fantastic! She welcomed in my car and made him feel right at home! She replies quickly and made sure to text lots of updates/photos, which I loved so much! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Matthew & Erin were able to accommodate my last-minute request to watch my husky. They were great with her, sent me photo updates & she looked so happy! Would definitely book with them again!”
