I am very appreciative! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”

“We have a nervous girl and it was the first time leaving her while we’re on vacation. By the last visit, our Winnie was taking treats out of Nicole’s hand - she doesn’t even normally do this with me! Nicole provided detailed updates and pictures even when Winnie was hiding.”
“Cali did amazing with our 3 cats and us being out of the country. She did great with our 1 very difficult cat. Kept 2 separate from one, so no fighting. They warmed up to her better than expected. Cali gave wonderful daily updates, pictures. This was our first time using this app and our first time leaving our babies. I felt very comfortable! Cali was respectful to our home as well! We are extremely satisfied!!”
“Julia did a great job! She showed up at the agreed upon times and did exactly what was asked of her. Very grateful to have someone reliable to take care of my kitties when I am out of town.”
“Becky was so wonderful! She stopped in twice a day to watch our cat Percy while we were away and she took great care of him. She went above and beyond, playing with him, sending updates, and gave us complete peace of mind that he was being well taken care of. Percy definitely misses her since we have come home, he seems even more playful after her visits. We are so thankful to Becky and highly recommend her!”
“Sydney was a wonderful sitter for my Petra!! She sent me many photos and updates, and even took my trash out. She was so great with my kitty and provided a sense of relief since I was out of town!”
“Jesika went above and beyond for our Abby Lou. In the past, if someone struggled to give Abby her medicine, they would give up and say sorry there’s nothing I can do and we’d be struggling to find a last minute sitter while already out of town but not Jesika! She went home and literally cooked a meal to mix her meds in with. 😊 Your pets are in good hands here. 🐾”

“Skylar is awesome and very kind I immediately felt comfortable & trust in her, which felt great as I can enjoy a much needed getaway! Skylar, handled things really well with both my cats and household. Apparently it didn’t take long for my cats to sense Skylar could be trusted and came out for her! I can’t express my gratitude enough to finally having someone like Skylar☺️ Thank you Rover for the connection with Skylar! Thank you Skylar for your compassion and your love for animals because Dusti & Graci knew it & I could see it!!”

“We hit the jackpot with Christy! She accepted the job, watching my puppy, last minute when I couldn't keep him quiet in his crate. Christy is active during the day with much play time and walks. Levi comes home happy, content and well cared for. Christy follows any special rules you may have and also is not afraid to make suggestions if she feels there could be an improvement for your pup. She definately has much love and care for all the dogs she cares for. Thank you for providing such great care and taking on a puppy at the last possible moment! I highly recommend.”
“Great experience, Brandi was able to accommodate my Velvet in short notice when we needed it the most, sent picture updates regularly and that made me feel more comfortable, also Velvet liked going back there which means Velvet enjoyed it too.”

About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 3 years old. Cats, dogs, birds, ferrets gerbils and as an adult horses cows chickens although I'm assuming you're not going to be dropping off any of those I am pretty much home anytime and available to watch animals day or night. I am self employed as a farmer during the summer but off during the wonter I have a newly updated 100-year-old home with two rooms that kitties can stay in if they are shy and don't play well with other cats. Dogs I keep with me at all times. I
“Great place for day care! My dog had so much fun he was so excited to go and didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. Very communicative through the process! Would recommend.”
About: Having grown up on a farm, I have been around dogs and other animals all of my life. I love all animals and have a special fondness for dogs. I will treat your dog like my own. Please let me know about any special needs your dog has, from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns-I am very accommodating and will do my best to make the transition from your house to mine as seamless as possible and would like your help in understanding how best to do that for your dog. Please include the following in your care instructions and/or inquiry if they apply: - Food or environmental allergies - Toy or treat restrictions - Any history of destructive behavior - Any history of reactivity (such as barking/lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, or uncontrollable excitement) towards other animals or humans - Any history of separation anxiety - Any other special needs, likes or dislikes that I should be aware of I work from home much of the time during the week so am available for doggy daycare or boarding often during the week in addition to weekends. I am able to crate your pet if that is what they are used to for during the night. Please bring their crate with you and any other items they feel comfortable with while crated.
“Becky is everything you could hope for from a pet sitter. We were in her area for a funeral and left our dog with her for the day. The experience was great. Her communication was excellent, she has a gorgeous dog-friendly neighborhood and home, and she took excellent care of our dog. She and her kids returned him to us happy and tired, which is no small feat. I would go far out of my way to leave our dog with Becky again. Thanks so much!”
About: I've taking care of dog for a year plus now. My friends and family trust and relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and have their pets stay overnight at my house. My house is especially a good environment for dog because my yard is fenced and the dog have their own furniture and their own room. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom and a bake at home so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pet which I love doing. My yard is fenced and I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company while he/she is here. I have plenty of toys and treats available for the dogs as well.
“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”
About: I had a huskey when I was younger that I took care of everyday. I now have a 1 year old Aussie doodle. I am trained in emergency situations.

I have an underground fence for my own dog. He is super friendly and loves to play. I live close to the dog park for plenty of fun and exercise. I have multiple crates to use as needed.
“Liloo loves Scott and his squad of pups. She was antsy and anxious when we first dropped her off but on a subsequent 2 week boarding stay, she blossomed! Scott sent regular updates (complete with photos) of how she was doing: from sulking and guarding the oven in the kitchen, to letting loose playing, to napping with the other doggos. I send Liloo to Scott for day care now and shes so happy frolicking with the dogs and enjoying treats!”

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service.

I love to take them on walks and play with them outside. I also love teaching them new tricks and making sure they have fresh food and water. I can take your dogs on walks if they need them daily. I would also love to play with them to keep them entertained and get there energy out. If your dog sleeps in the bed no worries I love to have a snuggle bug next me.
