“This is the first time we have boarded our dogs with Maria and Nayibe. We were so pleased with the regular updates they provided. Maria and Nayibe were so kind and caring, always attentive to our dogs' needs. They kept us informed on how our dogs were doing and sent pictures daily. They even went to great lengths to ensure our dogs ate well, which was a common concern for them when we were away. Our dogs were so comfortable that they were in no rush to leave. We will definitely use Maria and Nayibe's boarding services again.”
“Yolanda and Rashad’s years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs showed in their confidence taking in our sweet, old pup, and managing him among many others. Their kind, calm demeanor also made him feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Best of all, he returned to us, healthy and well.”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Izzie had a great time! Scott & his family did a great job taking care of her!! I received multiple updates and pictures per day & they were also quick to respond to me. I always worry about leaving my girl with someone new but they did a great job with her. I will 100% be using them in the future”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Evita was great with my pups. She was super welcoming and her home was perfect for my dogs. They really enjoyed her backyard and all the playtime. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of our dog for 3 nights! We appreciated the photo updates and thoughtful communication. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing! I received multiple pictures a day of my dog enjoying spending time with her pups and family. She was treated her as if she was a part of the family. In fact, when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave ha! I would most definitely book Angela again in a heart beat. -Allie”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”
“Max and his girlfriend took great care of my pup!! She loved having other dogs to play with. Max has a wonderful personality and vibe. He is very compassionate and you can tell has a spot in his heart for dogs. My pup had a ton of time playing outside, took walks and had a park adventure. Max is accommodating and was happy go alloys my pup to relax on the furniture and most importantly sleep/snuggle up in bed at night. Would HIGHLY recommend anyone to Max gor dog sitting.”
“Julia and Colin were great! They communicated well and even met Toast before boarding! We received a lot of pictures where our dog was smiling and having a good time with them. We will definitely book again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Laura did a great job with my pup again! I know that he is well cared for and safe when she is taking care of him. He always has a great time with her dog Diesel and goes on nice walks. I love how he always comes back to me good and tired! I highly recommend Laura and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”

“Kathy is fantastic! One of our cats had a health scare when we were out of town. Kathy was great at communicating during it, and even went to the pharmacy to pick up some medicine for out kitty. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was really attentive to our cat and responsive to us. From the booking process to the exchange of keys. She fed him and played with him while also sending plenty of pictures. Would 100% book her again if we needed some help!”

“So happy I booked with Katelynn! She was very communicative, flexible, and understanding. She followed all my instructions and adapted when my boys didn't. She helped with some extras too, likely bringing in my packages/mail. I felt my boys were in good hands and will book again in the future!”
“Christina communicates well regarding the visits. She got a good read on our feisty cat, and adjusted as needed, based on the cat’s behavior. Good intuition. We hope to use her again.”
“I’ve had a great experience with Ana! My dogs liked her immediately during our meet and greet, and I could tell she knew her way around bigger dogs. Communication was super straightforward and fast - she even asked how often I want updates, which I really appreciate. Ramses was very relaxed when I came home after Ana’s visit. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Kelsey took great care of my two cats while I was away. They are sometimes scared of new people, but warmed up to Kelsey from the beginning and came out most days when she arrived. I will definitely book Kelsey next time I travel. Thanks!”
About: I'm a bit newer to cat care as my experience prior to the last few years was only barn cats. That being said, I've definitely grown to love caring for them. I currently care for my neighbors very sassy cat Tang when his owners go on vacation. I also have cared for ferrets and guinea pigs in the past so, as long as I have your instructions and tips I can provide all the love and care your pet needs.
About: I have a diverse experience of taking care of dogs. One of my previous jobs was working in a dog daycare/kennel where I took care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been a dog walker and sitter for many years now, and have been around dogs my whole life! I currently own a mini poodle puppy! I am currently a full time student and can help walk your dog on weekends, holidays, and some odd days throughout the week. My schedule does change, so I can’t provide consistent care, but would love to help out when I can! I take dog walking very seriously, and make sure that the dog’s safety is prioritized. It make sure to be very observant of the dog’s surroundings and temperament, and will be ready to pivot whenever necessary. Communication is very important to me, so I am as prepared as possible for every situation.
“Brooke watched my cat Douglas while we were out of town and she did an excellent job!! She provided detailed reports of he was doing and took lots of pictures. She cuddled and played with him every visit and followed the feeding instructions we gave her perfectly. It was such a relief knowing Douglas was in great hands 😊 definitely will be utilizing her services again!!”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
About: I’ve always had pets in my life from little fish to big dogs! I think pets are family, so my love for animals runs deep, and I’d love to spend time with your pet 😊 I have experience with large (100lb+) and small dogs as well as cats.

I have experience with visiting and caring for people in the area's pets and also having them stay with me at my apartment to go for plenty of walks and visit many parks near me.

Open to price adjustments to what fairly fits your situation best.

“MJ was amazing with Bobo and warmed up to him in such a short amount of time (usually it takes a while and even days!) He knew how to read Bobo and knew exactly how to interact with him. Definitely will be seeking out MJ to look after Bobo many more times.”
“Erin is the best! So is her furry kid Woodson! She took my doggie in at the last minute on a snowy morning and he was so happy when we picked him up! She sent lots of updates the whole day, too! We will be asking her to watch King again??? THANK YOU ERIN!! We hit the jackpot finding you!”
“Maria & Nayibe are awesome, highly recommended! We weren’t sure how our puppy would do all day with other dogs the first time. They went out of their way to introduce slowly and everything worked out great. Appreciate the flexibility on early hours and that you treated Rory like your own. The pictures show she thought it was her house as well! She is a picky annd light eater and the fact she was eating there both days tells me all I need to know. Thank you! Look forward to having her with you again!”
About: After several busy months on Rover with almost nonstop bookings, I have had such great stays with dozens of dogs, no accidents in the houses, no bites, no runaways, zero negative experiences. I feel confident that with me, you’re getting a premium stay for your pets for a really good value! I’m incredibly hands on and present with the pets, with them 24/7 and very adaptable with the different needs and personalities. I’m attentive with different care instructions and really shower the animals with positive attention 😊 I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting because it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
“Elizabeth was fantastic and put our anxious pup at ease. Dobby thrived with her and Enoch and came home happy and well cared for. We would happily have him stay with her again and would recommend her to others.”
“My partner and I wanted to spend a couple of hours on my birthday at some places that don't allow pups - after quick and easy communication with Michelle, we booked daycare with her. Our pup is very social with dogs and people but is always super cautious at first. When we dropped Navi off, she was a bit skittish and didn't really want to go in the house. This left us feeling a bit worried. However, Michelle immediately sent us an update with pictures after we drove away showing Navi explore the house and the backyard. Throughout the day I received so many pictures and videos of Navi playing in the pool and with other pups. It genuinely was the best birthday present I could have asked for. It made us so happy to receive so many updates showing Navi living her best life with her new friends. It was clear Michelle loves doing what she does and cares for every pup like they are her own. If we are ever in the Milwaukee area again, we would love to have you watch after our girl again! Thank you again, Michelle!”
“Linda was super accommodating for a last minute booking, she was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times and she was very kind to us and amazing with our babies!”
“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
“star had a great stay! communication was excellent, and i felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. i especially appreciated how understanding they were when i reached out after her stay to share some new information about her recent hip dysplasia diagnosis. they genuinely cared about her well being, and i wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🫶”

About: Looking for a reliable, experienced dog sitter who will give your pup one-on-one care? I've loved dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. My home features a large fenced yard and a doggie door for safe, supervised fun. I only board one dog at a time and treat every dog like family and provide a loving, stress-free stay with regular updates, walks, and lots of affection. I work from home, so I am able to meet any meal or medication routines throughout the day. Your pup will be well taken care of! I have a large fenced-in yard and a friendly 4-year-old staffie that would love to show your pet all the best sniffing spots! Your dog will be able to roam free or can be crated if desired.
“Yesterday was my Rover’s first daycare with Dan. As soon as I parked my car Rover was excited to go inside. That is impressive since Rover only met Dan and Holly during the initial meet and great. Dan sent pictures and updates of Rover throughout the night, which I very much appreciated. Rover and I both are very lucky to have found Dan and Holly.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and now have a 2 year old golden retriever that I raised as a puppy. I’ve invested a lot of time learning how to train dogs effectively so that I can best care for my own and others dogs. I work from home full time, so would love to provide day care for dogs that get along well with others and that would benefit from individual attention and another dog playmate. **I just started on Rover so that’s why I have only a few reviews. Setting prices low to get initial clients, so take advantage! Happy to talk through any questions to make sure you feel great about your pet’s care!** I work fully from home so am available for day care during the work week and some weekends. I can also do dog walks or drop ins during the work week. I’m open to overnights as well after first successfully testing out day care. I have a back yard (not fenced, but I have long leads if needed) and a large unfinished basement for play. I have a 2 year old golden retriever that is very friendly and great with all dogs.
About: Hi! I’m Bella, a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of hands-on experience working in advanced obedience, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and sport dog training. I’ve helped dogs and their families work through leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, and high-drive challenges—and I bring that same knowledge into every boarding, daycare, or drop-in service I offer. 🐾 What makes my care different? I provide structure, clear communication, enrichment, and individualized attention—not just cuddles and playtime. Whether your dog is working on manners or needs a calm, consistent place to stay, I’ve got you covered. 📍 Based in New Berlin 🏡 Calm home with safe setup (crate-trained dogs welcome!) ✅ Experience with large breeds, working dogs, and nervous pups 🦴 Optional training add-ons available during daycare or boarding Let me know your dog’s needs—I’m happy to customize care to give you peace of mind and your dog the routine they thrive in. (Website with training info available upon request.) Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I’m home during the day and structure my routine around walks, training sessions, feeding, and enrichment. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, dogs are integrated into a calm and structured environment throughout the day. I provide a peaceful, secure home environment with crate space available (if needed), structured downtime, and consistent routines. Dogs are supervised, enriched, and treated with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to high-drive working dogs to those needing a little extra patience or support.
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.

“Michelle did a fantastic job with Finn! She was attentive, communicative, and sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be requesting her for walks in the future.”
“Mary is great with our 10 month old Brittany! I’m impressed with her enthusiasm and she is a quick learner of his routines! She is helping us work on training which is so helpful. I would highly recommend Mary!”

About: I am a true animal lover at heart! My family always owned dogs growing up, I adopted my own, Bear, in 2017 and my cat Luna (aka Tuna) in 2021. After recently losing Bear unexpectedly, I’m hoping to help heal my heart and get some puppy love by offering walks and drop-in visits to your babies! Prior to adopting Luna, I offered in-home boarding for many years through Rover. Unfortunately she’s not a fan of having other dogs around, otherwise we’d still be offering that service. I also worked at a doggy daycare during college because I loved dogs so much, and I wanted to spend time with them even though I couldn't get one at the time. This obviously provided me with lots of experience in handling multiple dogs! I promise to love your furbaby like my own and provide lots of pictures and updates :) I work remotely on Monday/Thursday/Friday so I’m available for drop-ins or walks during the workday! Would love to arrange regular services over lunch time. As some who believes that pets are family, I promise to do everything in my power to keep your pets safe under my care. When I have hired Rover services myself, I love to receive lots of pictures and updates from my sitters, so I promise to do the same for you!
About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable with post-op care and administering medications. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am available most mornings (before 6 am), evenings (6-9 pm), Fridays, and weekends! I am interested in taking dogs for walks, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, and overnight stays to care for pets in their homes. The care and safety of your pets and home are extremely important to me, as a pet parent to four kitties, a fish, and a snail. I am happy to adhere to your preferences and requests for your pet’s comfort and safety.
About: I’ve always had pets in my life from little fish to big dogs! I think pets are family, so my love for animals runs deep, and I’d love to spend time with your pet 😊 I have experience with large (100lb+) and small dogs as well as cats. I also have a rescue dog of my very own, so I have experience with pets that need some extra time to warm up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I am happy to do whatever I can to make your pet feel safe and comfortable 🥰 I work part time, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits 8am to 7pm most Fridays and Sundays. You may see additional availability pop up when I have extra time though! Great pet care is the way that YOU care for your pet! I’m happy to accommodate whatever you typically do to make your pet happy in your home or on their walks even if it’s abnormal - keeping a consistent routine helps keep your pet happy. Before any services, I do want to meet you and your pet to ensure that we’re a good fit and that I understand your specific care expectations.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 7 and currently have one of my own!

I am also available for weekend care! I have fenced yard at my own home and in my clients homes I will take care of you dog or cat per your instructions only. I am happy to share many photos!
“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”
“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”
About: I’m a genuine animal lover and caretaker with 8+ years of experience caring for neighborhood dogs. I currently have a deaf white Boxer/Pitbull mix who is my best girl and has taught me so much about patience, communication, and unconditional love. We’re an active duo who loves long daily walks, playtime, cuddles, treats, and lots of affection. Training a deaf dog has given me hands-on experience with positive reinforcement, patience, body-language communication, and adapting training to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve also worked extensively with my dog on leash reactivity through play, socialization, and gradual exposure. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood in Wauwatosa, so we’ve learned how to confidently navigate busy walks, give other dogs space when needed, and build positive relationships with our neighborhood pups. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of the family—with plenty of love, attention, patience, exercise, and, of course, treats! 🐾💕 I have a very consistent routine that makes it easy for me to give pets plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. We start with an early morning walk, followed by a quick potty break around lunch. I work 9–5 and work within about 15 minutes of home, so I’m able to check in easily and have plenty of flexibility throughout my workday. I’m also the boss, which gives me the flexibility to work from home 1–2 days a week when needed. Evenings are usually another nice walk, playtime, and lots of cuddles. On weekends, we love getting a pup cup, visiting the dog park, or taking a long walk on one of the nearby trails. I’m happy to include your pup in our routine or tailor their care to whatever schedule and activity level works best for them! 🐾💕 I like to follow each pet parent’s routine and preferences as closely as possible. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your rules when it comes to crating, furniture, sleeping arrangements, feeding, and daily routines. I’m comfortable crate training, keeping dogs separated when needed, or allowing them on the furniture and in bed for extra cuddles—whatever makes them feel comfortable and at home. My dog, Nova, is a deaf Boxer/Pitbull mix and is fully free-roaming in our home rather than crate trained. She loves other dogs and has learned to adapt to different personalities and read other dogs’ cues through regular socialization and occasional daycare. Safety and supervision are very important to me. I have Furbo cameras throughout my home and keep a close eye on alerts throughout the day, especially when I’m away. I’m also comfortable giving dogs their own space or separating them when needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to make their routine feel as familiar, comfortable, and stress-free as possible.
About: I grew up having three different dogs ever until I was about 13. Over the last couple years, I’ve watched, walked, and overall taken care of several dogs for friends and family. I genuinely love to be around dogs and to play. I work from home full-time so I can give your dog a good amount of attention throughout the day with breaks to play and take a necessary potty or walk. I can watch dogs currently anytime during the work week! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard, but the area I live in has grass near by to go to when needed. Otherwise, we do go on walks throughout the day in our apartment community to get some exercise. We hold the safety of the dogs at highest priority so making sure they don’t get into anything they aren’t suppose to and making sure that they have what they need!

“Yolanda and Rashad’s years of experience caring for all kinds of dogs showed in their confidence taking in our sweet, old pup, and managing him among many others. Their kind, calm demeanor also made him feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Best of all, he returned to us, healthy and well.”
“MJ was great, my usually shy skittish dog immediately felt comfortable and started playing with the other dogs staying there. MJ clearly understands animals”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Goose while we were gone for a quick overnight! Goose got lots of walks around the neighborhood and played well with their kids, both in the yard and outside. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future!”
“Monique was awesome! She’s an expert in introducing all the pups to each other and making sure play is safe. We received regular (sometimes hilarious) updates that assured us that Coltrane has happy and healthy. The space is amazing and Coltrane loved it! We also received a report of how Coltrane’s time went, which was great. I would definitely recommend Monique and book with her again.”
“Izzie had a great time! Scott & his family did a great job taking care of her!! I received multiple updates and pictures per day & they were also quick to respond to me. I always worry about leaving my girl with someone new but they did a great job with her. I will 100% be using them in the future”
“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”
“Evita was great with my pups. She was super welcoming and her home was perfect for my dogs. They really enjoyed her backyard and all the playtime. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of our dog for 3 nights! We appreciated the photo updates and thoughtful communication. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”
“Linda was amazing! She was able to accommodate my dog very last minute, which I truly appreciated. She was very kind and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. She took her on multiple walks each day and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and Linda made the experience so much easier than I expected. I could tell that she genuinely cared about making sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to watch their dog!”
“Mitch was very accommodating with my last minute booking request. After a quick meet and greet, I left my 4 year old pup in good hands for an overnight stay. Mitch has a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to play, he was very responsive with his communication and provided photo updates. Would definitely recommend.”
“Sherry was so amazing in accommodating my senior pup within her home. Tedi was very comfortable and was able to enjoy all of her favorite things with Sherry from naps on the couch to car rides. I appreciated the photos and updates I received and could not have felt more comfortable being away from Tedi for an extended period of time. Definitely will be asking for a repeat stay should her schedule allow!”
“We recently left our 5-year-old Golden with Nikki for a week, and she did an absolutely incredible job! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. This was our first time leaving him with someone outside of close family friends, and he had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Nikki with him again in the future! Throughout his stay, Nikki sent multiple updates and photos each day, which was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. Basil loved spending time outside in the fenced-in backyard and had a blast snuggling and playing with Nikki’s kids. Thank you so much, Nikki, for taking such amazing care of our boy!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with Dawn and her husband! They were so welcoming at our Meet and Greet and made us feel very comfortable leaving Zeke overnight. She sent us updates and pictures of him having a blast in their back yard, so I could tell Zeke was having a great time. I highly recommend Dawn and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!”
“Laura did a great job with my pup again! I know that he is well cared for and safe when she is taking care of him. He always has a great time with her dog Diesel and goes on nice walks. I love how he always comes back to me good and tired! I highly recommend Laura and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Kim was amazing with Millie! Millie stayed with her for three nights, and Kim kept in touch and sent us pictures every day. It looked like Millie had a wonderful time and was very happy and comfortable with her. We had such a great experience and would definitely have Millie stay with Kim again!”
“Scott was a wonderful sitter to our dog, Phoebe. Excellent communication, professional, and friendly. He sent us a few pics while we were away to let us know how she was doing, which I especially appreciated. Definitely recommend Scott, and his cute dog Lucy, to anyone looking for a sitter and a playmate.”
