“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Dylan and Alex are amazing!! My dog seems to have had a great time during her stay. I received daily updates and pictures. We will be booking with them again in the future. :) Thanks guys!”
“Lucky was great for watching our dog Finnley. They were very flexible with dropoff and pickup times, and Finnley was so excited when we got there. The daily check ins included how he slept and ate the previous day, and how he was doing overall. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Finnley was well looked after while we were away, and we definitely plan on booking with Lucky again in the future!”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“I left my 11 year old dog Zee for 4 days and went out of town. I received updates and pictures 3-4 times a day. Zee did not eat much the first day from her bowl so was "hand fed" by Radka to ensure she ate some....OMG! We discussed by text and made a food substitution that worked out..Radka went out and purchased the food with her own funds! She took care of my Zee like she was hers...She walked her, played with her, indulged her, and spoiled her (to be honest)..I felt so happy and contented with the care that I never worried like usual. My family joked that Zee would not want to return home.. Radka's adorable kids even helped out with Zee. What more could I ask for?..this was THE BEST experience i ever had with doggie care in 10 years!! Many thanks to this awesome family..I hope they don't get too popular and unable to take Zee next time I travel..”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!”
“Christine and Nick are amazing! We are repeat customers and never worry about our pup when she is in their care. To say she gets spoiled is an understatement. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
“Kendra was great! This was Yasha’s second time staying with her in less than a month. Goes to show how reliable she is and how comfortable she makes you feel, leaving your fur baby with her. She truly cares. I appreciate all the photo’s and updates as well. It’s good to know my baby is having a good time while I am vacationing. No more guilt! lol”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“My dog came back his self and Abby let me know that he does well with cats, which is great. I came to pick him up straight from the airport and I was running half an hour late to pick him up but Abby was accommodating.”
“Kayce and her husband were great! She sent photo updates the entire time he was there and was super responsive as I checked in. Norman was very well taken care of. Thanks again guys!”
“Amy and her family were great! Cleo is an old dog, I usually take her with me but this time we were traveling for a funeral. It was our first time using Rover or leaving her with others, I was nervous. Our drop off time was early in the day but they were accommodating. Amy kept me posted on how Cleo was doing and sent pics every day which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Cleo clearly got lots of love from the whole family. I highly recommend Amy and Grant P. (and family.)”
“Christina and her family were amazing with our skittish girl. She communicated every day with status updates and I felt her compassion in every message. She put our minds at ease which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the vacation. Will book her again for future boarding stays.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive on using the service; until we met Hilary!! She was so welcoming and accommodating with our dog, not to mention extremely professional. Our dog had a great time, she was well exercised and we will definitely use her in the future. A+++++”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Miranda is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! She took care of our dog Archie last-minute (for the first time, too) and was incredibly kind, helpful, and constantly updated me while watching him. Archie had such a good time, he didn't want to leave! We also had to pick him up past midnight on our way back, and Miranda was extremely accommodating and, again, was just amazing overall. Her dog Crush was also super sweet and has become Archie's first best friend. We will absolutely be using her services again, and I highly recommend others to do the same!!!”

She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”

About: I have been around cats for over 28 years and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Growing up and living with cats throughout my life has taught me how to understand feline behavior, provide a calm and safe environment, and recognize their individual needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic care, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable while their owners are away. My lifelong experience has made me dependable, attentive, and passionate about providing loving care for every cat I look after.
About: Hello: I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs, developed through years of personal experience as a dedicated pet owner since childhood. Growing up with pets instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness to animal well-being. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I am also a nurse, which strengthens my ability to provide informed, detail-oriented, and safety-focused care. I am deeply committed to caring for dogs both holistically and medically, taking a balanced approach that supports their physical health, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life. I value preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural wellness practices, while fully understanding the importance of routine veterinary care, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring. My healthcare background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition, administer care responsibly, and prioritize safety at all times. I take pride in providing patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, ensuring every dog feels safe, healthy, and genuinely loved. I hope you & your fur baby are doing well. I am available Mondays- Sundays for drop in visits. I’m available Mondays-Sundays for boarding at my home. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every aspect of pet care, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and builds trust with both pets and their families. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly as given. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, monitor behavior and health closely, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly and responsibly. I am experienced in both holistic and medical care, including administering medications as directed, monitoring health changes, supporting proper nutrition, and providing gentle, natural wellness practices when appropriate. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: As a lifelong cat lover and the current proud owner of two indoor cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep your feline friends happy, safe, and comfortable while you are away. Cats can be sensitive to change, and my experience allows me to respect their boundaries while ensuring they get the care they need, whether they are social or independent. I am highly adept at the essential, hands-on aspects of cat care, including scooping litter, cleaning up unexpected messes, and successfully administering oral pills or other medications without causing extra stress. I am available for daily drop-in visits to refresh food and water, clean the litter box, and provide plenty of play and affection so you can travel with total peace of mind.

“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”
“Very genuine person, got down on brownie's level to engage with her, brownie was happy and well taken care off. Abby worked with me and my schedule, I am grateful that brownie has a home away from home”
“Jeanette was great! She was able to accommodate Romeo in a very short time frame, and had to wake up early for the drop off. She kept me updated and Romeo loved her! Overall great experience.”
“Deven and Tyreek took amazing care of Birdie! I could tell Birdie had a truly amazing time being boarded and always looked forward to returning to such a loving home! Will definitely book their services again if in the area.”
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
“It was my first time using the Rover app and first time for my puppy in a sitter. Kayce and her family was amazing!!! They take good care of Max while me and my kid's are away. Max had a blast during his stay, able to socialized with other dogs and kid's. I would definitely use Kayce again in the future. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 10, 12, and 14 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays. My routine includes a morning, afternoon and an evening walk after dinner. The fenced backyard provides opportunities for exercise outside of walks. I follow your pets normal feeding schedule and will only provide the food and treats that you provide to avoid any allergy or food intolerance concerns. On school days, my husband is typically working from home so there is usually someone home without long periods of being left home alone. Pets are cared for as part of the family and receive lots of love and attention.
About: I have built my life around loving and caring for animals. I have been with my local SPCA for 11 years and have been president for 8 years. My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.
“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”
About: What sets me apart is 25 years of experience. I began pet sitting at the age of 10 and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Providing pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment has always been a passion of mine. Including walking, bathing, and working with both puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience with pet sitting more than one dog. I currently volunteer remotely for two hours once a week, so I have plenty of free time to care for your fur baby. I'm available Monday through Friday, but I'm happy to be flexible if you need weekend boarding or doggy day care for your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small dog who would love to keep your fur baby company. If you prefer, I can also crate your dog with ease.
“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”
“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”

About: We love our fur babies and have been fostering dogs and cats for years. Every dog becomes a member of our family while they are here! Our furniture is pet-friendly and we have a fenced in back yard. We love to go to the park and hike with our dogs when the weather is pleasant! 🐾 Health & Vaccination Policy 🐾 For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I require that all dogs are up-to-date on the following vaccinations: • Rabies • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) • Bordetella (kennel cough) Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series appropriate for their age. I may request proof of vaccinations prior to your booking, especially for boarding or daycare stays where pets may be in shared spaces. Additionally: • Dogs should be free of fleas, ticks, and any contagious illnesses • Please let me know if your pet has recently been sick or exposed to illness • Pets showing signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, etc.) may need to reschedule for everyone’s safety I truly care about creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for every pet. Thank you for helping me keep all my furry guests happy and healthy! 🐶💛 I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, as I work from home part time. We love walks, so a well behaved dog is always welcome on our walks with us. The children in my life are also dog lovers and will be happy to snuggle, play and dote on your fur baby, too. I have a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and I have a large crate, if needed. For anxious dogs, I have the space to keep your fur baby apart from other animals in my home.
“We had such a great experience with our sitter through the Rover app. She was incredibly accommodating and adjusted seamlessly to our schedule, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the moment Tilley arrived, it was clear she genuinely cared for her like one of her own pets. She kept me updated, made sure Tilley was comfortable, and gave her so much love and attention during her stay. Her home had more than enough space for Tilley to feel relaxed and active, and I really appreciated how intentional she was about keeping her engaged with daily activities and playtime. Tilley came home happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed her time there. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Tilley again in the future.”

About: I am very flexible with hours. I am an active person and happy to play with your pet and walk them as much as needed. I grew up in the cold, so weather doesn't bother me walking or driving. I also am willing to work with your hours and do what is best for your pet. I also am always happy to send pictures and check in so you know they are living your best life. I can be flexible but I am a morning person so early walks are okay with me. I can also drop in easily through the day with little issue. I grew up with large dogs (lover (100lbs) and 2 cats, and am the current owner of a Bernese Mountain dog who I love. I love all animals but tend to lean to bigger dogs. I like cats butdon't currently own one due to my husband. I am newer to rover but have spent a lot of time caring for my own pets but also dog sitting for others in their homes over the last 7 years.
About: I am an animal lover and have been for my whole life. I have always had dogs and/or cats. I have experience in giving medication, both orally andinjections. As well as tube feeding fowl. I also have experience in small farm/homestead. Including chickens, ducks, horses, pigs, goats, etc... I would treat your animals like my own. I can also water plants, gather mail, etc... In cases of house sitting for a week or longer (6+ nights), I am happy to travel within 200 miles. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any request. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule to be able to care for your pets when and how they need it. We live on a farm with fields to run through, woods to roam and a pond to swim. I'm available to stay overnight in your home and take care of them in their own environment.
“Shanelle did an amazing job with my extremely hyper and large pup. Sent me pictures on every visit (3x a day) and was great at communicating throughout her time with him. 10/10 would recommend, I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing a safe, attentive, and comfortable environment for pets. I am currently going to college and have too much time on my hands. What better time to spend my free time than with your pups. Safety, trust, and creating a positive environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. Having been around dogs my entire life, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I always ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment. I believe strong communication, reliability, and genuine compassion help build trust with both pets and their owners, allowing every dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my care.
About: I’ve owned and cared for furry (scaled and feathered!) friends my whole life. From cats and dogs, to guinea pigs and bunnies, to fish and birds. I even have experience caring for sugar gliders and a ball python. I’ve worked as a pet uber (with a company called Leash) and volunteered at shelters, socializing events, and cat rescues for several years, so I’m used to interacting with all kinds of pet personalities and ages. From shy snugglers, to loyal guardians, to spunky characters, to goofy adventurers, I love them all! You can trust I will love on your baby and treat them with as much care as I do my own fur babies. My schedule is fairly flexible right now since my medical retirement from the Army in October. I’m currently working on an online M.S. in psych and substitute teaching in my boyfriend’s town (Clarksville, VA) whenever I’m available. Since it’s a long commute and I’m typically called the morning of, I try to keep Monday and Tuesday open to sub if needed. I am more than willing to do virtual and in person meet and greets to learn pet needs and routines. I prefer to meet in person to get acquainted with your pet while they feel safe in your presence (but I’ve never met a pet I didn’t click with and love immediately.) I’ll accept any additional written/typed outlines detailing your pets care if that’s easier than leaving notes in the app. You name it and I’ll do it; whatever is best for you and your fur baby. Dogs under my care will enjoy long walks and dog parks trips where applicable. If you have a puppy (or dog) in training, I love to partner in their learning using whatever commands you prefer. Kitties under my care will get lots of playtime with wands and lasers, as well as tons of snuggles.
About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.
About: I love all animals but I’m a dog lover through & through. Yes.. Even the stinky butt, stinky breath, so ugly that they’re cute, accident prone, jumper, barker, puller, escape artists, babies too. I was raised with 2 boxers who have made their way across the rainbow bridge. I raised a super mutt for 6 years who has also crossed over. I now have a Rottie mix who was adopted through Chesterfield Animal Shelter going on 4 years ago. She is, in addition to my human babies, my dog child. She is the best of friends with my kids. If you ask my oldest how many brothers and sisters he has, she is included in his total … 😂 I have 10+ years of experience walking/pet sitting neighbors, family and friends dogs but im in my second year of pet sitting full time. I can’t express enough the joy it has brought me. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors & everything in between of all sizes. I’m familiar with giving oral medication and have learned how to properly perform CPR on dogs. I fully understand & respect that each animal is different & has their own needs and personality. As well as their owners. This is why my care goes beyond maintaining. I’m full of patience and love & It’s important to me that i strive for comfortability. I have taken on pet sitting full time! My regular returning clients are a priority but i still have plenty of open room for new clients! I understand that for each pet, their wants and needs may vary. I am big on respecting what makes everyone the most comfortable and cared for. I strive to leave your pet feelings enriched and at ease by the end of my visit.

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.
“Lora did an awesome job with Veechie. She clearly has not only a genuine love for animals, but for human beings as well. I had a knee replacement a week ago, and she was very understanding of my pain and very comforting. In this short time, I definitely consider Lora someone to be trusted without only my dog, but with all of the pets in my home. It’s very hard for me to trust other people with my dog especially and I’m very glad that I chose Lora to walk him and I would definitely choose her over and over again with no hesitation. Great experience thank you.”

“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Dylan and Alex are amazing!! My dog seems to have had a great time during her stay. I received daily updates and pictures. We will be booking with them again in the future. :) Thanks guys!”
“Lucky was great for watching our dog Finnley. They were very flexible with dropoff and pickup times, and Finnley was so excited when we got there. The daily check ins included how he slept and ate the previous day, and how he was doing overall. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Finnley was well looked after while we were away, and we definitely plan on booking with Lucky again in the future!”
“Leidy agreed to watch our German shepherd with a short notice and did an incredible job! Send frequent updates and pictures which we love! Very grateful he was in such good hands while we had to leave town!”
“I left my 11 year old dog Zee for 4 days and went out of town. I received updates and pictures 3-4 times a day. Zee did not eat much the first day from her bowl so was "hand fed" by Radka to ensure she ate some....OMG! We discussed by text and made a food substitution that worked out..Radka went out and purchased the food with her own funds! She took care of my Zee like she was hers...She walked her, played with her, indulged her, and spoiled her (to be honest)..I felt so happy and contented with the care that I never worried like usual. My family joked that Zee would not want to return home.. Radka's adorable kids even helped out with Zee. What more could I ask for?..this was THE BEST experience i ever had with doggie care in 10 years!! Many thanks to this awesome family..I hope they don't get too popular and unable to take Zee next time I travel..”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Amanda and Adam sent me pictures of our dog every day and an update on how she was doing. She is a not an easy going dog because she is nervous and has separation anxiety, but they were able to handle her and she liked them, their dogs and their kids. We will be using them again next time we travel!”
“Christine and Nick are amazing! We are repeat customers and never worry about our pup when she is in their care. To say she gets spoiled is an understatement. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
“Ari provided wonderful care at her home for our two good sized dogs aged 12 months and 4 1/2 years. They are back home happy and well-adjusted. Thank you Ari for all the love you and your family gave our dogs!”
“My dog came back his self and Abby let me know that he does well with cats, which is great. I came to pick him up straight from the airport and I was running half an hour late to pick him up but Abby was accommodating.”
“Kayce and her husband were great! She sent photo updates the entire time he was there and was super responsive as I checked in. Norman was very well taken care of. Thanks again guys!”
“Christina and her family were amazing with our skittish girl. She communicated every day with status updates and I felt her compassion in every message. She put our minds at ease which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the vacation. Will book her again for future boarding stays.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive on using the service; until we met Hilary!! She was so welcoming and accommodating with our dog, not to mention extremely professional. Our dog had a great time, she was well exercised and we will definitely use her in the future. A+++++”
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Miranda is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! She took care of our dog Archie last-minute (for the first time, too) and was incredibly kind, helpful, and constantly updated me while watching him. Archie had such a good time, he didn't want to leave! We also had to pick him up past midnight on our way back, and Miranda was extremely accommodating and, again, was just amazing overall. Her dog Crush was also super sweet and has become Archie's first best friend. We will absolutely be using her services again, and I highly recommend others to do the same!!!”
“Star appeared to have a great time with Laura and family and be well taken care of. She had a nice large yard to run in and both caregivers were clear dog lovers and she immediately took to them. I would definitely use them again!”
“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”
“We have just returned from a month long vacation for us and one for our dog Chance with Shay & Jay. He had a wonderful experience with the whole family. He was happy and very well cared for while enjoying long walks, adventures and snuggles. Afraid of loud noises, Chance was given extra love over the 4th of July and during thunder storms. Sending frequent photos and adventure updates kept our minds at ease. We could tell he was so happy I worried he would not want to leave! We highly recommend Shay & Jay as care givers of your special dog no matter how long the visit. We definitely will use them in the future.”
