“Christine is always my go-to for any short or long term boarding for Oreo! She was flexible with the late pick up time that I had set and also provided updates on how Oreo was doing throughout the days he was with her. I love how there are sometimes other dogs she is taking care of so Oreo has a chance to socialize and play while I am away. Thank you again to Christine!”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”
“Emily watched our 3 year old very energetic Brittany for 6 days and did a wonderful job communicating about his status throughout the stay. She was also very timely and professional in her responses prior to the stay. She has a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to run in and also takes them on walks through the nearby nature center. I am quite sure he had a great time because he came back exhausted! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Andy was terrific. He was flexible and kind with Cooper. I really appreciated the walks and the pictures he sent to me while I was away. I will definitely ask him to care for Cooper when I need to travel again. The pictures of my dog walking with another dog were reassuring. He was understanding when my train was delayed 1.5 hours. When I had difficulty finding his house at night, he offered to do pick up and drop off next time.”
“This was my first time ever boarding our dog Winnie and I can honestly say although I was nervous at first, the second I met Katerine & Brian I knew they would take great care of our Winnie girl. We booked Winnie’s stay for long weekend trip Thurs- Mon. Winnie made her self right at home and loved Katerine immediately upon meeting. We received the cutest update photos about Winnie during her weekend stay and knew she was in great hands and didn’t have to worry about a thing. We are so thankful for them and taking the best care of our girl, would highly recommend and will be booking Winnie a stay with them again :)”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Faustine took such wonderful care of our pup! She provided frequent adorable updates and I could tell her was so at ease in her home. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”
“Francise is the absolute best all around: communication, photos, flexibility, and most importantly, the best care for Monty, who loves her. She can handle his reactive leash walking too, which gives me peace of mind. This is the second time we’ve used her and will do so again!”
“Jodee and AJ are great. They were so patient as I worked through multiple schedule changes with my job leading up to the booking. My two beagirls were right at home with them and I enjoyed getting a few pictures/update each day. Both came home happy and healthy. We'll re-book with them for any future out of town trips.”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Kelly did such a great job hosting Buggy! Buggy wasn’t feeling the best and had trouble eating but Kelly did an excellent job and gave me regular updates and photos so I knew she was in good hands.”
“Leah was amazing! We left our baby with her for her first night away and she came back perfectly relaxed and happy! Leah sends photos and keeps you posted which is wonderful.”
“Thank you, Helena & Nathan, for taking such great care of Charlotte for the week! From all the pictures you sent, I could tell that she had a great time and that you made her feel right at home. It made my trip more enjoyable knowing my girl was well cared for!!”
“Molly was very well cared for and because of the many pictures I received I saw how she was pampered. She is a very happy little dog. If/when I need boarding for Molly I will definitely request Hyunbang P.”

“Jennifer did an incredible job caring for our cat! She was thoroughly communicative, kind, and attentive to our cat's needs. She's professional and respectful and we highly recommend her!”
“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
“Aislyn was great! She updated us regularly and sent us pictures to let us know how our boys were doing. It is clear that she is an animal lover and both of our boys were well cared for while we were away.”
“Mya was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and thorough. She offered to come by and meet our kitties before we left, which was so wonderful. She was super attentive to all of our crazy cat parent concerns. She was also super communicative the whole time, and sent us lots of pictures! We have a cat that is super shy and barely comes out for friends or family, let alone strangers, but Mya got her to play and spend time with her. Will definitely be hiring her again and would recommend to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic. Great communication, our cat loved her, and we returned to a happy kitty. We would definitely book with Taylor again.”
“Where can I even begin with how amazing Aimee was?! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat, Spot, for 9 days while I was away. I was nervous since he gets anxiety but when I came home he was so happy and had 0 accidents while I was gone. Aimee checked in with me every single day and sent plenty of pictures and updates. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and I will absolutely be using Aimee again and recommend her to anyone needing an awesome sitter! Very trustworthy and overall such a kind human being, Spot and I are both happy!”
“Julia and Spencer are great with our cats! They spend plenty of time playing with our high energy kittens. They take awesome pics and give us thorough updates! Thanks again!”
“Henry was great! One of our cats is super friendly and took to Henry immediately, enjoying lots of playtime with him. Our other kitty is much more shy, but Henry was patient with him, and he eventually warmed up to him as well. Both of our cats were well cared for, and we felt confident they were in good hands. We would definitely hire Henry again!”
“Monica took excellent care of our two difficult ladies. She took time to get to know each of them and their likes and dislikes, providing individualized attention and play for their different preferences. The daily updates and photos were great. Would absolutely ask Monica to watch our kitties again!”
“Josh was great with my two cats! I could tell that they liked him by how relaxed they were when I came home. He played with my friendly, chirpy cat and was very patient with my shy cat. Would recommend!”
“Phoebe is an incredible sitter. My cat was recently having a hard time when I was away for a long stint. She dropped in and gave her extra love and care and was very communicative the entire visit. We LOVE Phoebe.”
“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”
“Lexy and Robert are fantastic sitters! Over the holidays we ran into so many issues with my apartment lock and through it all they worked with concierge, maintenance and went above and beyond when I was out the country to make sure they could access my baby and care for her. I cannot recommend them higher.”
“Lily was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of our cat. I was especially appreciative since it was a somewhat last-minute request for a holiday weekend!”
“My cat Hannah was well taken care of and in good hands while I was away! Lisa gave great drop-in visits and left Rover cards to keep me updated. Thanks for a reliable service!”
About: I have 3 cats of my own, and have been around cats my entire life. I’ve been a cat sitter for many families, friends, neighbors, even coworkers! I have lots of experience with cats of all ages, even tiny tiny kittens! I’ve raised 3 cats of my own from when they were 5 weeks old, and have lots of experience in fur maintenance, claw trimmings, and dispensing oral medication for senior babies! I even have experience in leash training cats.
“Booked Juan again and had another great experience. He took excellent care of Simba, was attentive and flexible, and left the house clean and tidy. Really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Drew was exceptionally helpful in taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was communicative and adjusted to last minute changes when our home litter box stopped working, even making herself available to come additional days. Our cats were well taken care of, thanks to Drew!”
“Mike took great care of my cat, Minou. He was very responsive and provided thorough daily updates and pics. He understood how to approach my shy kitty, and it was a relief knowing Minou was in good hands while I was away. I would book again, highly recommend!”
“Aly is great! She dropped in to care for my cat for several days during the holidays. She took great care of her during that time, following all the instructions we discussed, and providing thoughtful details and wonderful pictures of the visits. Definitely recommended.”

“HK’s daycare service is simply the best! She has a good size backyard for dogs to run around and have free roam of the main floor. HK is super attentive and just genuinely loves dogs. She also does a great job sending pictures and videos throughout the day. Our high energy 1 and a half year old pit mix always comes home tired and ready for a nap.”
About: My name is Ana, and I’m a retired, stay-at-home dog lover with over 50 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Because I’m always home, your furry baby will receive constant supervision, attention, and plenty of love throughout the day. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, including administering medications, understanding mobility needs, and providing gentle, patient care. Whether your pup loves long walks, short strolls, or simply relaxing and being loved on, I’m happy to meet their individual needs. My home is calm, loving, and pet-friendly. My daughter and son-in-law are also home, so your dog will never be alone and will be surrounded by people who truly enjoy caring for animals. We treat every dog as part of our family and take their safety and comfort very seriously. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would be honored to care for yours as if they were my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — we would love the opportunity to care for your furry baby! I am a healthy senior citizen with tons of free time and energy. I am looking to love on some fur babies, while making some extra income! Ready to meet New friends. Seeing a dog happy, increases my own happiness! I have a huge fenced in yard, and a 3 story home with a sun room where I'd love to make some memories with your furry babies. We have a huge fenced in yard where they can also enjoy good weather and exercise!
“Colleen and family are amazing. I love seeing what Otis has been up to throughout the day. He is actually excited to go to doggy day care. thank you, Colleen!”
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
“Katherine and Brian took excellent care of our very active shepherd mix! They are responsible and sent many updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!!”
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!
“Guy helped us out when we needed a Doggie Day Care while we were visiting Arlington National Cemetery for an interment. We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”
“Donna was very warm and caring towards our dog. She was very thoughtful in ensuring our dog felt comfortable and we really appreciated it. She was also fantastic in communicating with us! She clearly loves dogs and we highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”
“Isabelle and her parents were wonderful with my pup! They made my anxious pup feel safe and loved and he quickly warmed up to them. They sent photos and videos along the way to show his progress and I felt so comfortable with him in their care. They were quick to respond and overall the experience was very pleasant. Will absolutely be boarding with them again! Thanks so much!”
“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable administering basic medications, reinforcing training routines, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Communication is a priority for me, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your pet's stay. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands.

I'm also available in the evenings, on weekends, and for overnight stays with advance notice, so I can provide reliable and consistent care that fits your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special requests.

I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs all of my life. I work from home with a nice fenced backyard and I live across the street from Bluemont park with lots of fields and trails for exploring. I have a 10 year old golden Cavalier (Clover) and we go on long walks in the park and around the neighborhood. Your dog will be allowed on the furniture and the bed if you like or in their crate when needed if that is your preference. I’m home all day and give lots of attention to the dogs I care for. I will only care for one dog at a time along with my dog. I am self employed and work from home so your dog will get lots of attention. Your dog will rarely be left alone and if so not for a long time. I take daily walks (2 times a day) so that is already part of my routine. I have a fenced yard and a doggie door if your dog likes to use that. I also have a 10 year old golden Cavalier to keep your dog company.
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”

“We’ve been working with Jennifer for over a month now, and she has been absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly communicative and so flexible with my unpredictable schedule—I can book her a few days in advance, and she always accommodates. Since we just moved from Kansas, my dogs have had a tough time adjusting, especially one who has anxiety, but Jennifer handles them with such care and kindness. Both my girls are so comfortable with her—she’s truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Our dog Winnie loves going on walks with Aislyn! Aislyn is happy to let her wander and sniff to her heart’s delight, which really helps tire her out in time for some lazy afternoon naps.”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Juan took such good care of mocha. He cared for him as if he was his own. I would highly recommend him if you want someone to go that extra mile for your furry friend!”
“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”
About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for years, with dogs of all different shapes, sizes, and needs. I've walked dogs, checked in, or spent the night. I'm an avid animal lover and love meeting and spending time with new dogs! I'm a college student home for the summer with lots of flexibility in my schedule. Even though I'm a college student early mornings are fine with me, I'm happy to be with your dog any time of the day. I'm adaptable to whatever rules and established routines you have in your home. I don't mind getting up early and I'm an avid walker so I'm happy to get outside any time.
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
About: I've had loads of experience with dogs of many breeds and ages! My family dog was deaf & blind so I also have experience with dogs with varying need levels! I have one dog in home named Biscuit (8yr old male cavapoo) I also take care of cats!! I work in pastry so I am up early (3/4am) and am home by 2pm every day! My days off vary each week- just feel free to reach out to me and let me know what you're looking for! I have one very friendly dog in home, he is fully crate trained and can be kept in a separate room if needed! I live just a few blocks from the swampoodle dog park so we can always walk and play there! :) I have plenty of dog toys, food/water bowls, etc in home if needed as well
“We had a great experience with Lexy and Robert! They came by to do a meet and greet first and we felt really comfortable with them walking Motu. They were so communicative and left great write-ups post walk.”
“Lucy is so great! Communicative and punctual with humans and so sweet and patient with our energetic one-year old pup! Absolutely would work with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of a multitude of different dogs and cats throughout my life - whether it be for friends, neighbors, family, or even coworkers! I have lots of experience in cat care - including grooming, nail trimming, and oral medications. I have 3 cats of my own, so I’m very adaptive to all sorts of cat personalities! My experience with dog care is just as plentiful! I’ve taken many on fun walks, played fetch, groomed fur, and dispensed oral medication. I’m rather good when it comes to pulling on leashes, and I also have experience training young puppies. I’m available at all times during the week! Whether you’re looking for someone to check in on your pup to feed, give bathroom breaks, groom, or play with, I’m available morning, afternoon and evening! The same applies to kitty owners! I always make sure all fenced in homes are securely locked in the event a dog wants to play outside. All leashes and collars will be checked before walks, and if your dog isn’t friendly with other dogs I will be sure to maintain a safe space between myself and other owners. As for cats, I always make sure that all doors are quickly closed and closed all the way to prevent any indoor kitties from escaping. If your cat is outdoor/indoor, I’ll make sure they get back inside safe and sound!
“Mike was fantastic! This was our first time using a walker for our dog and he not only made the process very easy but extremely comfortable for us. He even came and met us and our dog before we completed the booking. He was very communicative the entire time we were away and it was a huge relief to know our beloved pet was in good hands! We look forward to booking with Mike again in the future.”
“Sophie has been excellent and our dog absolutely loves her! She is kind and considerate and we know our dog is in good hands when Sophie comes over. Would totally recommend her as a dog walker to anyone!”
“Amazing! Extremely reliable walker and fast response times! We needed someone to walk our two large dogs everyday over holiday break and could not be more pleased with the service! He will be our go to from now on.”
About: Hi! I’m Cora, a student majoring in Food Science in Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I grew up in Arlington and will be staying here for the rest of the spring and summer. As a lifelong caretaker and lover of animals, I am really excited to join Rover and show some love to the pets here. I have always been obsessed with animals, and my experience in a variety of contexts makes me confident I can give your pet the best possible care while you’re away. I practically grew up in my local animal shelter, reading to rescue cats and waiving adoption fees through bake sales. As soon as I was old enough, I became an official volunteer, responsible for socializing animals, walking dogs, and adhering to the highest safety and sanitation standards. I became certified in rescue pet welfare through the Fear Free Shelter program, giving me the knowledge necessary to put shy dogs at ease. I also foster puppies through the Lost Dog Rescue foundation, giving me a firm grasp on the needs of younger dogs, from potty training to administering medication. Need a sitter for an exotic pet? No problem! In high school, I took a Career and Technical Education class in the advanced small animal sciences. I gained hands-on experience with countless pet species, from leopard geckos to chinchillas to cockatiels (and everything in between!) I also wrote a research report on the welfare of the school’s rabbits, taught the class cats how to high-five, and became certified in pet first aid through the National Association of Pets and Pet Sitters. Your pet is your family, and as a college student, I deeply understand what it means to be apart from them. Trust me to treat them with as much love, kindness, and respect as I show my own pets. I can’t wait to meet them! Aside from a few virtual appointments, I have a lot of flexibility throughout my day. Your pets would be my top priority - I’d love to go for long walks, play outside, and/or meet a new study buddy :) Safety is my top priority when it comes to pet-sitting. I am certified in Pet First Aid through the National Association of Pets and Pet Sitters. Additionally, through my volunteer position at the Animal Welfare League, I pursued extra coursework through the Fear Free Shelters program to learn about rescue pet welfare and animal psychology. Most recently, when my pair of 8-week-old foster puppies fell ill, I took them to the vet and learned how to administer various oral medications. I provided care at all hours of the day and night, successfully nursing them back to health. Beyond my qualifications, I've been described as exuding quiet confidence that puts animals and people at ease. I prioritize gentleness and kindness in all of my animal interactions; with your pets, I'd focus on minimizing stress because I know how attached pets and their humans are.

“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares.

“Emily watched our 3 year old very energetic Brittany for 6 days and did a wonderful job communicating about his status throughout the stay. She was also very timely and professional in her responses prior to the stay. She has a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to run in and also takes them on walks through the nearby nature center. I am quite sure he had a great time because he came back exhausted! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“Faustine took such wonderful care of our pup! She provided frequent adorable updates and I could tell her was so at ease in her home. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”
“Francise is the absolute best all around: communication, photos, flexibility, and most importantly, the best care for Monty, who loves her. She can handle his reactive leash walking too, which gives me peace of mind. This is the second time we’ve used her and will do so again!”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Kelly did such a great job hosting Buggy! Buggy wasn’t feeling the best and had trouble eating but Kelly did an excellent job and gave me regular updates and photos so I knew she was in good hands.”
“Thank you, Helena & Nathan, for taking such great care of Charlotte for the week! From all the pictures you sent, I could tell that she had a great time and that you made her feel right at home. It made my trip more enjoyable knowing my girl was well cared for!!”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Excellent all around. Communication and care for my dog Tala could not have been more perfect. I really appreciate everything Kelly did to treat my pup like her own. Will be using her again for sure!”
“John was the most attentive care taker! He took Murph on so many adventures and captured so many photos, I felt like I was there! Will definitely be rebooking! Thank you so much.”
“Alyce and her family took amazing care of Vera! She was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Her dog Mookie is super sweet and got along with Vera so well. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Briana was a very caring rover by updating me throughout the day with pictures and activities. Her boyfriend was an additional helping hand to look after miley as well. Would recommend to others in need of a pet sitter!”
“Caroline was wonderful with Rexy! She sent updates and pictures daily. I think Rexy enjoyed spending time with her dog. Thank you for the hospitality!”
“Emma was one of the best sitters we have ever had for our dog Wilson - truly a gem. She provided updates on how he was doing each day along with pictures (which was the best). If Emma had any questions, she would ask and she was always very responsive. We appreciated her help so much and would recommend / love to use her again for future!”
