“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“We are so glad we found Sheri! For years we took our dog to a kennel when we traveled. They took good care of him, but he always came home stressed. Now he comes home calm and happy. He loves going to Sheri's house for his own little vacation when we travel. She takes him for walks daily, he gets to be her shadow at home and he gets lots of healthy treats. What could be better?! ”
“Yoda loved it there before we even left. They have all the toys and even a little coat for him. They took videos of Yoda going on walks and playing. Sherrie and Bill are a lovely couple and did a great job caring for Yoda. They have a closed-in backyard to keep dogs safe. When we go out of town, we hope they're available.”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“Thank you, Liudmila, for taking care of our sweet puppy. She had a wonderful time with you and your family and came home such a happy, calm girl! I really appreciate all the love and care you gave her!”
“AMAZING experience. My friend who uses rover told me about David, and am I just the luckiest person when I heard he was available to accept Daisy. The perfect duo David and his wife sent me videos and pictures, they kept me updated and just made sure I knew she was okay and felt comfortable with them. I love this app but I will forever check if David is available to watch daisy before anyone else ever. Rover is the way to go. And David should be your first choice.”
“We are so grateful that our precious boxer Lulu was able to stay with Monica while we were on vacation! She was given care, attention, surroundings, and activities that were not only far better than any kennel could give, but probably better than we manage to provide ourselves. And Monica sent wonderful daily notes and pictures of all the fun we were missing. We have promised Lulu that we'll work harder to please her, so that maybe she won't miss Monica so much!”
“Angela is the best! I have used her a few times and I always know my dog is well cared for and having a great time. She is dependable and wonderful with dogs! I’m so glad I found her. I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone I know! Thank you Angela!”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“This was Lola’s 3rd visit with Alexa. I trust that she’s in good hands when she’s with Alexa and I get random texts and pics of her antics (mainly furniture hogging) during her stay. We will continue using Alexa anytime we need a place for Lola to go while we’re out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Teri is Amazing. Kind, gentle and very caring. I highly recommend her. Addie told me she never wants to go anywhere else!! Thank you so much Teri. Nikki and Addie”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”
“Kimberley does a great job watching our dog Louie. She gives photo updates and it’s obvious she loves animals. We feel lucky to have found Kimberley for dog sitting!”
“Katie took such great care of our 2 boys. She gave us regular updates and shared photos often. They were very happy with Katie and her family and pets too! We will be booking Katie again soon!”
“Jenny is excellent as always. We were gone for an extended trip to the Philippines, and she provided regular updates and cute pictures of Bouncer while we were away. I also asked if she would be able to give Bouncer a bath since we were gone for a while. Jenny kindly agreed. I gave Jenny additional compensation for this. I could tell that she went above and beyond for my dog. I'll be asking Jenny again for help with Bouncer in the future!”
“STOP! Look no more! This is the sitter u are looking for. My frenchie loves people but is very picky with whom he cuddles with. Within one day, he was snuggling with Terri. Shes a special human who really has a connection with animals. Her pictures and updates are stellar! Book her!”
“We have an anxious 9yo Boston with Cushings who can be handful. Linda was amazing! Before his first sleepover, Linda met us at a location so both Mugsy & I felt reassured & safe. The anxious owner (myself) was very appreciative of her updates - texts & photos during Mugsy's first visit. When I picked him up the next day, Mugsy was calm & didn't show any stress or need to leave right away. Linda, thank you for making this process so easy & relaxing!”
“Marshel was great. A friendly family and extra caring for our doggo. She was available on a short notice over Thanksgiving after our previous sitter ghosted on us. Thank you so much!”

“This was Dasha’s second time she watched our cat. She was well cared for with detailed updates and several photos every day. Dasha also helped by pulling in some packages that got delivered while we were gone. Very happy with how she has been able to be a companion for our kitty when we are out of town.”
“Naomi has taken care of my kitties on two occasions and I have been very pleased. She sent updates and photos of the kitties looking very comfortable. I will definitely be using Naomi in the future.”
“We arranged for twice a day, one-hour visits. Rachael was amazing! We have 2 big purebred Maine Coon brothers and a a tiny female domestic shorthair from the shelter. She was terrific, and even had to give the female a pill every morning. When we got home the house was still tidy, the kitty boxes were clean, and all 3 of our fur babies were relaxed and happy like they had just spent time with a beloved human relative. I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“Kiley was great for out drop in visits with our cat while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, and made sure that she gave our cat lots of attention while she was there.”
“Linda popped in to let my pups out for a mid-day potty break. She arrived when she said she would, sent pics of the girls while they were out and locked up when she left. I’ll definitely reach out in the future when a need someone to check on the fur babies.”
“Charlene was great with our two cats. She took care of all our kitty needs while we were away and even spent time playing with them. It was everything we wanted and needed for the two of them! Thank you Charlene❤️”
“Jordan took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town! Jordan went above and beyond for us and sent us sweet pictures every drop-in! We definitely will use Jordan again in the future!”
“We reached out to Jessica for a last minute sit for our cat. She responded immediately and we had the sit set up within hours. She was very professional. She stopped by each day as planned and provided updates on how the visit went. We will certainly use her for any upcoming needs. Well done and thank you!!”
“Michael did an excellent job looking after our cats. He made sure to get a picture of at least one of them every visit. There was some issues with his schedule that came up and he did his best to communicate with us even though there was an 8 hour time difference between us. We appreciate everything that Michael did for us during such a long vacation.”
“Hayli was kind of the best ever! The kitties are kinda shy sometimes, but she handled everything like an absolute boss. I got to have a trip in which my concerns were not centric to the well being of my cats. She medicated, fed, and hung out with them just like they were her own. Sent us pictures of them and our frogs, and in general was just the best. I will 100% Book with her again!”
“Our sweet kitties were healthy and happy when we returned home from vacation. Trisha sent daily updates and photos toprovide comfort to this nervous fur mama. I would definitely book her again”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, birds and insects over the years. I’ve been a volunteer at pet rescues over the years and have an extra-special fondness for pets in their golden years. I’ve done a lot of pet sitting over the years, which has included everything from walks, baths and play to administering medication and cleaning up accidents - there isn’t a lot that phases me. I treat each pet like I would my own, giving them the same love, care and attention they get from their family. I look forward to doing the same for yours 😊 I work from home during the week with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to care for pets during the day - whether it’s for a walk, a check-in for a potty break, or even just for some cuddles and play. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible, which means I’m happy to follow whatever routine it is that you have set. Does Max need their food heated up to a specific temperature so they’ll eat it? Done. Does Gabby need to be crated? No problem. All pets are unique, so their needs can be too. I always go over routines and preferences with parents to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable. I know when I have entrusted my pet to someone else I love getting pictures, so you can rest assured if you do too I will send them as much as you want! You are also always welcome to ask for them anytime, no matter how often. As your pets wellbeing is my priority, I can ensure my focus is 100% on them when we’re together.
About: I love dogs and am looking to spend my free time playing with wonderful pups. Dogs are the joy of my life:). I believe that pups can teach me a lot about the simple pleasures in life. I am always spoiling pups that I meet with love and attentions that fulfills me and is appreciated by the pups themselves. I enjoy taking time out of my day to make pups feel loved, well-cared-for, and happy. I share a Shiba Inu with my friend Honza who I love more than anything. He has taught me how to be patient and kind when teaching dogs to interact positively with their surroundings. I look forward to encountering as many breeds as possible in my life so that I can understand more about what makes each dog different.

“While in Washington for a special event I needed someone to care for my senior dog for several hours a day over the course of two days and Rachael came through for me. I knew my dog was in a safe, caring place and in capable hands. I would readily use her services again if in the vicinity.”
“Monica you are wonderful! I appreciate all of the updates and pictures of Beezy’s adventures with you. Thank you for providing a safe home for her over the Fourth of July holiday! I know we’ll look forward to your assistance should we need boarding again. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”
“I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about Nicole and her kindness and compassion for dogs. I have a super weird, passive, slightly neurotic dog and Nicole has managed to bring out the puppy again in her. Nicole is always flexible, (my work schedule is also neurotic and weird) and happy to see Luna. Her house is a safe and welcoming place for dogs!”
“Linda was great! She worked with my girl’s usual sitter to coordinate one day in the middle of a long stay that my sitter wasn’t available. She was very flexible, friendly, had excellent communication, sent pictures, and loved on my girl! Thank you!”
About: We absolutely love hosting dogs! Because we both work from home, your pup will get constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of daily walks. We have a spacious, fully fenced yard, perfect for burning off energy and getting the zoomies out! Plus, if your pup ever feels a bit nervous in a new environment, we like to make them feel right at home with a soothing treat like fresh scrambled eggs. Safety & Family Dynamics: We have a gentle 3 year old daughter who adores dogs. We actively teach her how to respect a dog's space, read their body language, pet gently, and stop immediately if a dog moves away. Either my husband or I is always within arm's reach whenever dogs are around, ensuring a safe, calm, and happy environment for everyone. Experience & Activities: We’re comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Our experience ranges from hosting shy, play-motivated pups (like Border Collies) to raising our own German Shepherd/Lab/Rottweiler mix. When we don’t have a Rover guest, we foster dogs through a local organization. Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, backyard adventures, or just lounging by our desks while we work, they’ll be treated like family here. We both work from home so are home most of the day. We love walks around our neighborhood and have a large yard to get energy out. We have pick-up/drop-off listed as well for an additional charge. Lots of snuggles, walks and treats! Please feel free to bring their bed, stuffed animal, and favorite toys to make them comfortable. We will try to walk them (1.5-2mi/day) unless otherwise requested.
About: Owned and cared for pets, which were mostly dogs & cats (but also snakes, rabbits, a chicken, etc., my entire life . Currently have one neutered male who loves a playmate to chase around the yard. Currently working part-time so I’m fully available to pamper your pets on my days off. Need a daily walk and love furry company. I have a fenced yard and a friendly, active, snuggle dog who likes someone to chase him around the yard. After, he will head to the couch for a snooze. I’m the go-to drop in or sitter for my friends and neighbors when they are out of town. Let me take care of your baby too!
“Hayli was great with Ash! We would definitely use her as a babysitter again! We ran late because of traffic and she was super understanding. We appreciate you watching our doggo!”
“Having Jiahna care for Gideon has been a real pleasure. She was very helpful and flexible as we did a meet and greet and evaluated if Gideon would be a good fit. She took time to ask really good questions about Gideon and learn all she could so it's the better care for Gideon. From the get-go, Gideon loved being at her house and sharing time with her puppy. It was a good fit. I always knew that Jiahna had Gideon's best in mind, and I always got good reports at the end of the day. So very glad that I got to meet and have Gideon stay with Jiahna. I highly recommend her as a safe and professional Rover person for your canine needs. Gideon will miss her for sure and I have really appreciated the care and great connection that she showed in caring for Gideon. 💜🐕”
“Was the first time Missy was left with someone not family. Very happy with Sheena in going above and beyond to make our spoiled little girl comfortable. Looking forward to boarding her with Sheema again in July while we go on a short vacation.”
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
About: Growing up I was raised on a farm so there’s not a day where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. Whether it be going to a 4-H show on the weekend or going on a run with the dogs, we always had an animal with us. I now have a golden retriever and she’s like another kid to me so I completely understand wanting to find someone you can trust with your animal while you’re gone. I can guarantee that I will treat your pet as my own, and give them the love, care, and attention they need until you come home. I am more than happy to keep you updated on anything you’d like to know and do anything to accommodate you and your pet😊 I’m currently only working 2 days a week and am very blessed to be home with my 2 year old, so I’m available throughout the day, and I am more than willing to spend it with all the pups! I’ve always loved being around animals, so it’s a nice way for me to escape the day to day responsibilities 😊 I have a 2 year old daughter so she would accompany your pup and I on any walks we take. As for my drop-in pups, I’m happy care for them in any way their owner needs, and I’m happy to bring Mazy (my golden) over for a play date if your dog needs one!

“I want to thank Jordan for looking after my two dogs. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was constantly updating about the dogs, and sending pictures and she took the time to play with them, fed them and took them for a walk. She was very patient with the dogs. Sanji and Robin are very playful since they’re about a year old. Honestly, after an unexpected long day at work it was great to know my dogs were im good hands. Thank you for asking about taking your shoes off inside the apartment it was very thoughtful and thank you for following all the instructions for the dogs”
“Rachael is great with our 2 dogs. They can be a handful but Rachael has the patience and calmness to manage them. My golden chow mix who is usually apprehensive of new people warmed up to her right away. She was able to stop in and take the dogs out on short notice for me when I sprained my ankle. Very helpful. I would recommend!”
“Naomi is the only person we’ve used with rover and we can’t imagine anyone else could be better! Our puppy loves Naomi! She is communicative, punctual, and trustworthy. I’d give her ten stars if I could!”
About: I'm a certified veterinary assistant. I've spent the past 6 years working in daycare boarding and rescue facilities. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, medicating and microchipping. I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to spend with all types of animals. Doing a job like this allows me to spend more time with my family. I care for every animal differently depending on their needs/ their owners needs. I also use a slip lead while using a regular leash just in case one fails.
About: Growing up around a large quantity of dogs taught me very quickly what they need. I have never not had a dog or cat in my life, and I understand that pets are family. I already go on daily walks and am used to feeding my dog so the needs of other pets would fit very easily into my life. I have one very friendly dog, a fenced yard, and extra leashes/ a crate if needed. I live near parks and in a very walkable area so your pup will get plenty of exercise!
About: I have been taking care of pups since I was 6 years old. I started my own dog walking business in middle school and have been working with WAG! For the last 6 years. I am experienced in giving medications including shots. I am currently open availability due to being an Independent contractor. I am available from early morning to late nights. No specific times are blocked off and I will communicate ahead of time if unavailable. I always ask what owners would like/prefer when going to their homes that way their fur baby is not having to switch anything or go out of their comfort. I will always try and accommodate and make a fur baby feel like home in my home.
About: I've been a Veterinary Assistant for 3 years and have been involved with animals for even longer. I have extensive experience in all sizes of dogs, from Chiweenies to Mastiffs. And experience from rasing puppies and kittens to caring for my cutie geriatric patients. . I also have experience caring for reptiles, small(er) mammals, birds, and even horses! . I am very confident in my ability to read your animals behavior and translate it into the words they can't say. My hours are pretty flexible at the moment as I work from 10-6 and am free on weekends! I'd love to squeeze in some time with some cuddly faces before and after that! I can medicate your babies as needed and make sure they're getting enriched while their parents are away! Can walk and play and ensure their food is fresh for the picking!
About: Hi! I'm Colleen, and I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your dog. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I care for every dog as if they were my own. I have experience caring for my own dog as well as dog sitting for friends and colleagues over the years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, sniffing every tree along the way, or simply enjoys companionship and a little extra attention, I'm happy to tailor my care to their personality and routine. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details. I know how important it is to follow feeding schedules and any routines that help your dog feel comfortable while you're away. I also believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet care, so I'll send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, respectful of your home, and genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and becoming someone you and your dog can count on! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care throughout the week. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I understand that dogs thrive on consistency, and I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that's a morning walk, midday potty break, playtime, feeding, or simply spending quality time together, I'll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, positive experience for your dog while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, reliable hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what helps them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any routines that help your dog feel at ease. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before going outside, and I prioritize safe, enjoyable walks based on your dog's age, energy level, and the weather. I respect your home as if it were my own, keeping it clean and secure while you're away. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. For the safety and well-being of your pet, I do not administer medications or care for pets requiring medical treatment. My focus is providing dependable, loving care for healthy pets of any age and giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve.
About: With a background in veterinary support, I’m eager to take care of your pets like they’re my own. I’ve worked with pets from boarding settings to animal shelters. If you’re looking for a pet sitter or dog walker you can trust with your furry friend, you’re in the right place! I’m a college student attending school online and in person on a part time school schedule allowing me to fit bookings around these different priorities. By being mindful of your pets cues, signals, and behavior, I will assure that your pets needs are always met, comfortably and safely for everyone.
About: With over 6 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own, so you can feel confident your furry family member is in great hands. I'm currently working pier diem, so I can set my hours and change my days off which works wonders when it comes to watching your furry pet! I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly pup! I can take them potty as much as they need, keep them on your schedule you have at home, and they will get plenty of walks and playtime!
About: I have 2 Yorkshire Terriers, Dash who is 10 and Chevy who is 6 months. Dash has diabetes and requires insulin as well as oral medication and I am comfortable giving both. I also frequently take care of a friend’s senior Goldendoodle. I’ve house sat for up to a month at a time before which I am okay doing. I have more experience with dogs but I’d love to take care of your cats as well! I am currently finishing my last few pre-requisites for nursing school and most of my classes are online so I’m at home/available often. I do take care of my puppy when I’m home but I live with my family who takes care of him as well. I’d love to fit your pets into my schedule! If your pet comes to my home I do have a fully fenced front and back lawn. As well as a great neighborhood for going on walks. My house isn’t huge but I do keep my space clean and always make sure the pets aren’t able to get into anything.
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian and cared for him through his senior years, so I know the extra patience and gentleness older pets need. I also raised my brother’s kitten to adulthood and have dog sat for relatives and cat sat for friends and coworkers, from playful puppies to shy kitties. What sets me apart is that pets have never been a side interest for me. Pets have been a part of my daily life since childhood, and I treat every animal like my own! As a student, my schedule gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week, so pet care fits in naturally rather than being squeezed in around a rigid 9-to-5. I can build feeding, walks, and playtime into my day without rushing, and I have the free time to give each pet real attention, not just a quick check-in. That flexibility also means I can adjust to a pet’s routine instead of asking them to adjust to mine. I only provide care in the client’s home, since I think pets do best staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual smells, sounds, and routine instead of the stress of a new space. When I’m there, I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure to spend real one-on-one time with them, not just handle the basics. I also keep an eye on anything that seems off whether it’s their appetite, energy, or behavior so I can flag it to the owner right away.

“Natasha has been wonderful with my pup! She’s knows how to effectively communicate and I always know she’s taking the best care of my pup!! So thankful I found her support while I’m away!!”
“Nicole is so professional, responsive, warm, and our dog absolutely loved her time with her! Nicole was extremely flexible to our needs with timing to come check on/ walk our fur baby. Thank you, Nicole, for making us feel like our pup was in good hands while we were away.”
About: Hi, I'm Trisha! I have been married for a little over 5 years to my husband Shawn. I have 2 children, a 10 year old boy, named Orion, and my daughter Kaylee, who would have been 22 years old, unfortunately she passed away from a car accident in 2020. I grew up in a little country town in CA. And was raised with animals. My grandpa was a big animal lover, and we had everything from a baby bear cub to kittens. I was in FFA for 4 years and raised a pig all 4 years to sell at the fair. Shawn is from the Arlington area and was also raised with animals. He has raised everything from goats to kittens. We feel that your pets aren't just pets, but more like a child, and we know the importance of finding the right care for your Fur-Babies. A majority of the pets we have cared for have been rescue pets. The the transition for them is hard enough as it is being left at a stranger's house, and we don't want to make that transition any more difficult for them. We ask that you bring an item with them, something that they associate with you and home. Also we ask for these items as well: food, food bowl, and water bowl, bed or bedding, toys they may want to play with, treats, and of course a daily interaction log ( we want to keep them on the same routine that they are use to, or as close to it as we can) I also try and send pictures daily, but in the off chance I miss a day, I send extra shots the next day. If we sound like a good fit for you, we are always happy to set up a meet and greet at our place for introductions. (We have also taken in fur-kids without meet and greets.) Drop off and pick up are as followed: Drop Offs: before 6:30am are an additional $10.00 Pick ups: after 8pm will be an additional $1.00 per minute unless prior arrangements have been made with Shawn or myself. Also we have a $20.00 off your first booking with us, for you! (Can only be used for our services) please ask for coupon code! Have a great day. And we look forward to caring for your Fur-Babies🐱🐕🐶🐩🐺🐈 I currently work 7am to 3pm Monday through Friday. And Shawn works from home as an independent contractor, so your Fur-baby would always have someone with them. We live in quiet housing complex right off of Smokey Point Blvd. that gives you quick and easy access to I5. We have a 6'' fenced back yard, live at the end of a dead end street, very little traffic.

I look forward to encountering as many breeds as possible in my life so that I can understand more about what makes each dog different.

“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“We are so glad we found Sheri! For years we took our dog to a kennel when we traveled. They took good care of him, but he always came home stressed. Now he comes home calm and happy. He loves going to Sheri's house for his own little vacation when we travel. She takes him for walks daily, he gets to be her shadow at home and he gets lots of healthy treats. What could be better?! ”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“AMAZING experience. My friend who uses rover told me about David, and am I just the luckiest person when I heard he was available to accept Daisy. The perfect duo David and his wife sent me videos and pictures, they kept me updated and just made sure I knew she was okay and felt comfortable with them. I love this app but I will forever check if David is available to watch daisy before anyone else ever. Rover is the way to go. And David should be your first choice.”
“We are so grateful that our precious boxer Lulu was able to stay with Monica while we were on vacation! She was given care, attention, surroundings, and activities that were not only far better than any kennel could give, but probably better than we manage to provide ourselves. And Monica sent wonderful daily notes and pictures of all the fun we were missing. We have promised Lulu that we'll work harder to please her, so that maybe she won't miss Monica so much!”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“This was Lola’s 3rd visit with Alexa. I trust that she’s in good hands when she’s with Alexa and I get random texts and pics of her antics (mainly furniture hogging) during her stay. We will continue using Alexa anytime we need a place for Lola to go while we’re out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Kimberley does a great job watching our dog Louie. She gives photo updates and it’s obvious she loves animals. We feel lucky to have found Kimberley for dog sitting!”
“Katie took such great care of our 2 boys. She gave us regular updates and shared photos often. They were very happy with Katie and her family and pets too! We will be booking Katie again soon!”
“We have an anxious 9yo Boston with Cushings who can be handful. Linda was amazing! Before his first sleepover, Linda met us at a location so both Mugsy & I felt reassured & safe. The anxious owner (myself) was very appreciative of her updates - texts & photos during Mugsy's first visit. When I picked him up the next day, Mugsy was calm & didn't show any stress or need to leave right away. Linda, thank you for making this process so easy & relaxing!”
“Samantha was great with Beau. We were gone for a week and felt like we could enjoy our trip knowing that Beau was in good hands with Samantha and her girls. Will definitely book again knowing that our dog was well taken care of.”
“Sarah was great with our dogs and was willing to administer Ivy's medicine when she unexpectedly hurt her back just before our trip and gave her extra care. Thank you Sarah!”
“Kimberly was amazing with our pup! She has a great setup and an obvious heart for pets. She was so kind to send us pictures/videos to help us feel better about leaving him behind. We’ll be using her again!!”
“Sheena took great care of our 4-month old puppy and 4-year old Moodle. We did a meet and greet and our nervous puppy liked her immediately. During our trip, we got pictures and updates whenever we asked for them as Sheena responded quickly. When we picked them up, we got a full report of everything they did with a wonderful update on eating, playing, pooping, etc. Sheena is very experienced and provided dog and child socialization for our puppy in a safe and structured environment. The pups came home tired, well-behaved, and very happy. As a bonus, we paid Sheena to do a little nail trimming since she is a professional groomer as well. Highly recommend Sheena and we will certainly be back!”
“Thank you so much Isaac. Looked like Emma loved playing with your sweet dogs. She came home happy. We will most definitely your your boarding services again. We appreciated all of your updates and puctures. She certainly took advantage of all your amenities. She rules our house too. Im sad to say ;) Have a great Christmas. Ann and Emma”
“Anita is a very wonderful sitter, took care of my doggo like her own, played with her when he did not want to walk, gave him home made food and took him on long walks. She shared lots of updates too.”
“Kris was a great pet sitter! Our pups Summit and Lilo loved their stay so much!! They were very responsive and we got picture updates everyday. They made our trip to Mexico a breeze! We would recommend them 1000%!”
“Elena is amazing. Great, constant communication and pictures. I had zero worries or complaints - never had to follow up or ask for anything. Will use her again when I travel. Savannah had a blast and was taken great care of.”
