“Katy and DJ were "above and beyond" caretakers for our boy. They walked him daily, took him on car rides, and sent lots of photos of him playing. They were easy to communicate with, flexible when we had to make a pick-up time adjustment, and sent our boy home happy and tired. They live in a great space to host dogs and Nelson loved his time with their family pets. Highly recommend!”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Jenifer did a great job watching our Cockapoo. He can be anxious at times but he felt right at home with her. Loved spending time with Jenifer on her deck over looking the lake.”
“Kylie was super accommodating to helping my girls adjust and feel comfortable. She sent pictures and videos throughout their stay. I felt very comfortable with the dogs in her care and would definitely use her again💕”
“Mary was awesome and Findley had a great time. Mary kept us informed with text messages and pictures. She had plenty of toys and kept him well entertained both inside and outside. Thank you!”
“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”
“Maria and Nayibe were amazing with Copper. They send photos regularly and updated us on how he’s doing and were very flexible. Copper enjoyed his stay with them!”
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“We first did the "meet & greet" to make sure our dog gets along with hers but it seems it went well, Ellie really enjoyed herself at Marie's house. Marie was very responsive and also very accommodating when we had to change our schedule. We also really liked Marie's daily text updates with pictures of Ellie'daily activities.”
“We left our Simba with Savannah for a weekend & it went great ! He enjoyed playing with her dogs & we could definitely tell that he wasn’t so worked up to come home (we have tried boarding locations in the past & he is very eager to get out of there asap & has never truly enjoyed that type of environment). We are very happy that we found Savannah to care for him ! The communication was great & and we are just happy that Simba had a safe/fun experience. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
“Christina was wonderful! She kept in contact with us and sent us super cute pics. Her dogs were very well behaved and I think our dog had a blast with them. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”
“My dog was apparently incredibly bad with Lauren (NOT HER WORDS. She was very sweet about telling me about his behaviors). Not because of her, but because of it being his first time being away from us and not knowing what to expect. She was patient and communicative with us. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and talked through any problems that's arose. I would definitely work with Lauren in the future.”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”
“We are return customers and we are so thrilled with the care Homer gets at Anna's. He is treated like one of the family and absolutely loves it there. Our family has no hesitation leaving Homer with Ana because we know he will be getting the best possible care while we are away. ”

“I never doubted Ziggy was in good hands! Jenifer is kind, friendly, and attentative to Ziggy's needs. The frequent updates and photos of Jenifer's visits brought me peace of mind and comfort. I will certainly be booking again!”
“Julie was so kind and took great care of our cat while we were away. Truly such a sweet person who loves animals! Our cat was so happy when we came back and Julie went the extra mile to send us photos while we were away to give us peace of mind. She even offered to check in on her when our flight was delayed. Definitely would recommend her to all and we look forward to booking her in the future!”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Tami did an excellent job caring for both my cats who have medical needs. My older cat is a diabetic with severe skin issues requiring multiple medications on an alternating schedule in addition to her twice a day insulin. She did a good job asking questions and making sure Kitten got the medications she needed on the correct schedule. She successfully gave both oral and injection medication and Kitten was in great shape when I got back (which is not always the case after a vacation due to her detailed care needs). There were some minor things that came up but those were mostly me being very particular about some specifics and in the end, were not that important and didn't affect the care of the cats. The house was clean and the cat food and litter box trash taken out, which I appreciated.”
“We got our dog the same week that we had Kylie complete mid day check ins and I truthfully don’t think we would have survived the week otherwise! Willy felt so comfortable with her which is more than we could have asked. Expectations were met and exceeded!”
“Katie is amazing! She was available for a last minute request and I could tell my boys adored her. She took pictures and sent me a nice report detailing their visit together. Would absolutely recommend booking with Katie!”
“Katelyn did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 fur babies and our home. She sent pics and videos to us on a daily basis and asked questions when she needed to. I would highly recommend her”
About: Growing up I always had animals (dogs, hamsters, a guinea pig, a turtle, a cat, sugar gliders) and can’t imagine my life without animals. I adopted my pup right out of college, I know that sometimes it takes a village raising & caring for pets! I love dogs of all breeds, shapes & sizes ❤️ I have dog &cat sat for family members & love doing so! I’m happiest around animals. I’ve walked, played, fed, bathed, and have given medicine to dogs and am comfortable doing so. I promise to send cute pics of them too! I work very part time in the summers which gives me plenty of availability to stop by and love, play with, and/or walk your pet!! I will ensure your pet has food/water, is left where you’d want them (in a certain room, crate, etc), and any other specifics you need or want before I leave! Growing up around animals and having 2 rescues myself I understand that some animals need extra time to warm up &/or certain things (covered crate, routine, medicine, etc.) to help them feel safe and comfortable. I will work with you and try my best to ensure that your pet has whatever he/she needs to feel safe and comfortable!
“Luke is awesome! I would highly recommend him! We have two dogs, one with special needs (she is 2 yrs old and completely blind). He is prompt to respond, communicates well, shares pictures from his visits and takes great care of both of them! Super happy we found him to help us out!”
About: To be completely honest, I was afraid of dogs when I was a child. But since my family got our puppy in 2015, my love of dogs has skyrocketed. Now when I see a dog, I have this intuition to pet them, with permission of course. So with my care, there will always be love in the air! A little fun fact about me is that I love to go for walks. So watch out furry friends, the feeling of being worn out is coming your way! I am a full-time student, however, I do have time during the day on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays to hang around with your furry friends! My time range is from 11-3:30. Or perhaps you’re stuck at work late in the night, and your dog or cat has been crossing their legs to use the bathroom, and I am more than welcome to stop by and take them outside any night of the week (after 6 pm)! Just like people, your animal should have food, water, and exercise. I will take your dogs and/or cats on walks and make sure their dishes are filled with water. And give them lots of pets as well, because what animal doesn’t like a little love?
“We’ve always used family members to look after our fur babies, but this time they came on vacation with us, and we were left with no one to look after Riley and Murphy. Thank goodness we found Susan – she was absolutely terrific! Right off the bat when we first met Susan, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pets. During the time away Susan sent us text messages and photos which really put our minds at ease. Our one cat, Murphy, is very timid and doesn’t usually come out while strangers are around. Susan was concerned when he wouldn’t come out for dinner. I reassured her that he would come out when he got hungry. I ratted Murphy’s hiding spot out, and she was able to feed him there the next day. I had to laugh when I received the text that she was “quite determined to make friends with Murphy.” By the end of the week Murphy was coming out for dinner and even let Susan pet him! I knew she would win him over 😊 We would not hesitate to use Susan again to look after not only our kitties but our home. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Susan! Brian, Lorrie (Riley & Murphy)”

About: Welcome to your furry friends pawcation retreat in Eagle, WI. Pet sitting, grooming and showing dogs is my full time passion (can't say job because I love what I do) not just extra income. I take every furry guest seriously and treat them like my own. My home is a retreat for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, relaxed all while enjoying the joys of being in a dog friendly home. I have been caring and showing dogs for over 30 years. My home has a large 6’ high fenced in area with doggie windows for potty breaks. I always go outside with them to supervise as it's just the routine that I do with my own dogs. I only cater to a few dogs at a time and that allows more attention for our furry friends. They can hang out with our resident Field Spaniel furkids, Starlet, Russell, KC and Trixie. Some dogs are quick to play and explore, while some dogs are shy and require more attention. I love all dogs and adapt my approach to your dog’s personality. If you see I am not available for certain dates, but still want service if I can rearrange I try to accommodate. In some examples of accommodation it has turned from pet sitting needs in the sitters home into me traveling to your house instead. ~~~ Check out my review stay photos to have a glimpse of the spoiling that your dog(s) will receive in my care. ~~~ In addition, I match the activities to each furry guest while they are boarding and that includes pets with special needs. Each day or overnights may include dog walks, car rides, playing fetch and simply being a house dog lounging on the couch. Additional services offered include pampering in the doggie spa or focusing on dog training sessions. Think of our home as a pet friendly home for pet sitting and dog grooming. We want all the dogs to feel as if they are home while you are away having fun. Dogs that work well in my home: I do not accept high energy dogs or dogs that are too large to handle. I prefer dogs that are calmer and dogs that can be left loose and do not mark on furniture. Please be honest when making a doggie overnight reservation. I understand dog behavior and know what works well with my own dogs. About my yard: 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. (Please note some of the photos seen are from an older house and not my newer resident in Eagle, Wi) Why I love dog sitting: I have been caring for dogs for over 30 years. My house and energy is very calming. My house is a retreat for dogs while the parents are away on vacations. I look forward to having your furkid(s) stay with me soon! Sincerely, Kylie I currently stay at home full time and can dedicate all my time as needed to our furry guests. They are my number one focus! Typical day can be waking up early (between 4am and 6am to let out and feed), all the fun stuff in between and bedtime is around 8pm due to my significant others schedule. 6’ high fenced yard with doggie windows for the dogs to see outside the yard. In addition, I have a safety plan in place because the dogs come first before my needs.
About: I love animals and would love to give you the peace of mind while you are gone. My husband and I understand the importance of finding the right Rover sitter. We both grew up with large breed dogs but I have also had toy breeds. I currently am a stay at home mom and will rarely need to be gone from home for very long. Your pet is my priority while they are in my care and I look forward to spending time with them. The way that I would care for your pets is how I would my pets. They could possibly get better treatment than mine at home… but don’t tell my dog that!
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I love to walk and play with them and also have snuggle time if they like that. My schedule is flexible to accommodate their needs! I have not done injections but am willing to do if trained I’m retired so I have plenty of time to care for your pet in my home or come to your home for check-ins and walks. I have a fenced yard and am close to a local state park for long walks. I also live in a very walkable subdivision. I don’t mind a well behaved pet on furniture.
“We had a last minute booking that they were able to accommodate. Great communication before and during stay. We loved getting pics and video, too! Boone well loved and comfortable during his stay. Came home a very happy guy.”
“I dropped off Moose (5 yr border collie mix) for the first time for daycare and to my surprise, he had separation anxiety issues (sitting by the door, whining). Madison was so kind and patient. I received texts updating me how he was doing. Eventually...success! I got a picture of Moose laying next to Madison on the couch looking calm and content. This was a good experience all around. Thank you!”
About: Hello! My family and I love animals. We've been on Rover since January 2024! We currently have 2 indor cats and have backyard chickens (in coop) that are pets and lay eggs for us. We live in a quiet Hartland neighborhood in a cul-de-sac that is very low traffic. Part of our yard is fenced for play and potty breaks, and I love taking walks around our neighborhood. The majority of the week, my husband is working from home or I am home. The longest your pet may be left is 6 hours if staying with us during the work week. So usually someone is there to spend time with your pet! We are available any day of the week for boarding. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac. I always practice sit-stay when opening the door to prevent bolting out. Part of our yard is fenced and outside the fence your pet will always be leashed. If I am away for a short period and it's needed for safety or per your preference, we do have a large crate and an enclosed pet gate.
About: I grew up on a farm and have always had and cared for animals. Im also an puppy and advanced obedience trainer. I breed and whelp litters and also offer training lessons or programs. Im also a certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluater. Im a dog trainer with pets of my own. Both my training and boarding pups live life with me and my babes and are cared for just the same. I have an open back yard with plenty of room to move around. I also have steamed out tie outs for those who arent as confident with their recall.
“Our Ruby spent the day with Carrie and her family recently. Ruby is 13 and not as active as she used to be, but she loves being around families and enjoys playtime with other dogs. She did very well and was well cared for. I am sure we will contact Carrie again to be Ruby’s sitter.”
About: I have always had a dog growing up, so I learned from a very young age how to care for a pet. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their dogs since I was around 12 years old. This includes stopping in the house to take them to the bathroom and feeding them, as well as giving medication if needed. Lots of snuggles and playtime too of course! I have taken care of dogs in the client's home for up to a week and cared for them at my home as well. No need to worry about any complex feeding schedules. I can manage it all. I am very comfortable with any age, breed, and sized dog! I have a one-year-old pup, so I am very familiar with training and puppy classes. I have volunteered at the humane society and when I was in high school, I job shadowed at a veterinary clinic. I currently work as a substitute teacher so my schedule is extremely flexible! During the summer months I am completely open. Weekdays and weekends any time of day. I make my own schedule so there will be no conflicts. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for some off leash playtime! My dog loves to run around playing fetch with a ball or stick. I have a walking path across the street from my home and am walking distance to nature hill for some extra exercise. I always have water, waste bags and small treats with me when going on walks. (My dogs personal favorites are cheerios). I am comfortable walking with any leash, collar or harness. I have two kennels in my living room if your dog needs to be crated. At least one crate is big enough to fit a large or XL dog. I have a baby gate in front of my stairs, and the basement door is always shut. I personally love going to the pet store or drive thru to get my pet a pup cup! I would be more than happy to take your dog for an adventure and for some extra love and enrichment!
“Lauren was absolutely phenomenal with Rory! He struggles with separation anxiety, but she made him feel comfortable and he warmed right up to her. He even ran straight inside on their second day together, ready to play! Lauren is very responsive and takes lots of great pictures too. I couldn’t recommend her more! We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again, Lauren!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our little sweet pup. He had a walk, breaks, fun with his ball. Heather was extremely accommodating and flexible. Once you meet her, she outs you at immediate ease. Will happily use her again!”
About: I am an animal lover and will take great care of your pet. I have experience owning dogs and currently own a 5 year old Doberman Pinscher named Moon. I am extremely active and love to take dogs on walks, to the park to play and outside to get fresh air. Having experience volunteering at the humane society, I am aware of different pet personalities and cautious of their well-being and comfort. I will honor the owner's rules and routines in order to make the experience positive for all parties involved. I live in an area great for walking dogs and running them with toys. If the pet needs extra attention or additional exercise, I will be able to accommodate with my flexible work schedule. Thanks!
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up I had three dogs, 5 fish, and even a turtle. I love animals of all kinds. I have taken care of friends and families pets that included cats, dogs, and even a bunny. I enjoy all the parts about taking care of an animal. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule. I am available for pet sitting at a clients home. I am also available for early morning walks or after work, and even drop in visits during the day. I care for other’s pets as I would want anyone to treat my own pets. I believe our pets are part of the family and I would want anyone to treat my pet to the best of their abilities.

“Ana was excellent to work with! She took great care of Maple and was exceptionally responsive during her visit. I would 10/10 recommend Ana to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their furry family members.”
“Excellent, so helpful. Very friendly, constant communication and photos! She took care of our baby and even offered to bring her treats & brought up our garbage cans! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Rachel was the perfect person to stop over and walk my two dogs! She is clearly very knowledgeable and comfortable with all different pet personalities and behaviors. One of my dogs can sometimes show aggressive behavior to other vehicles/pedestrians on walks, and Rachel handled him with the utmost care, responsibility, and comfortability. I trusted her so much with my dogs and felt very reassured leaving them in great hands. She’s very dependable and excellent at communicating. We loved her consistent updates and photos! Will definitely be using Rachel again!”
“Julie was absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive and took great care of our pup. Thanks for helping us out and walking our fuzzy kid! I would use again in a second!”
“I had to change the date last minute and Tara was extremely understanding and responded to the new date within minutes. She’s arrived early to meet Jax and stayed later to play with him. I appreciated the extra time she spent with him and he didn’t want her to leave”
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.
“Jenny was so kind to my puppy. My puppy loved walking with her, she took Streator care of him and he came back happy and tired. She was great about stopping for water breaks on a hot day. She was also so flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is wonderful! She met Dobby and he loved her. I could tell she was a doggy person right away! She took great care of my fur baby, sent pics, updates, and was very flexible with her schedule. I will be using Katie again and again for our pups walks.”

About: Hi, I’m Ella, and pet care isn’t something I just do, it’s a huge part of my identity and something I continue to explore as I pursue veterinary school! From the outgoing border collie to the chillest basset hound, I’m ready to take on whatever your fur-baby needs! 🎓 Schooling: Currently in undergrad pursuing a pre-veterinary degree—specializing in horses 🌻 Experience: Ran a pet care business since I was in middle school in my neighborhood. Currently training and studying horsemanship! 🐴 Critters: Horses, dogs, and cats I currently work as a horse trail guide and vet assistant. When I’m available, I can take requests both in the early morning, afternoon, and nighttime. 🏥 I treat every pet in my care with the same attention, compassion, and dedication that would give to my own pets. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Building trust with both pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to create a positive, stress-free environment where your pets can feel at safe.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for pets, as well as following any specific care instructions. As a previous pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I am available during most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I coach youth basketball in the evenings and occasionally have weekend tournaments, but I plan my schedule carefully and communicate availability clearly to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable care and attention. I live in a gated community with a secure, fenced dog park that provides a safe space for dogs to exercise and play. I also have two friendly cats in my home. If a pet is staying with me for boarding, I can keep them separated from my cats if needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Having owned dogs and cats throughout my life, I understand the importance of creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, prioritize pet safety, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care Right In Your Backyard! Hi - I am a part-time local pet sitter who truly understands that pets are family. I am here to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, overnight (at your house) sitting, and can care for dogs, cats, and some birds. My goal is simple: keep your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible and to give you peace of mind. When you book with me, you can expect: -Plenty of love and attention (belly rubs included!) -Photo updates -Recap notes on how they did -I can administer oral meds if needed -Clean food and water bowls, tity litter boxes, and refreshed spaces I will always schedule a meet-and-greet first so I can learn about you, your pet's personality and preferences, and complete a profile for my records. I take reliability seriously and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I currently work full-time, and pet care is my part-time passion. My weekday availability (Monday–Friday) is limited to 5:00–6:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. I do have some flexibility on Fridays and am happy to discuss specific timing upon request. Weekends are generally open unless otherwise marked unavailable on my calendar. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s needs—I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible! At this time, I do not have the means to board pets at my house for an extended stay but am looking into it in the future.
About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.

“Katy and DJ were "above and beyond" caretakers for our boy. They walked him daily, took him on car rides, and sent lots of photos of him playing. They were easy to communicate with, flexible when we had to make a pick-up time adjustment, and sent our boy home happy and tired. They live in a great space to host dogs and Nelson loved his time with their family pets. Highly recommend!”
“My dog absolutely loves Kandice. She was amazing. She’s had my dog for boarding for 3 weeks and I’ve been able to pick my dog up and play with her and drop her back off after. Very accommodating and loves and cares for my dog like her own!”
“Jenifer did a great job watching our Cockapoo. He can be anxious at times but he felt right at home with her. Loved spending time with Jenifer on her deck over looking the lake.”
“Kylie was super accommodating to helping my girls adjust and feel comfortable. She sent pictures and videos throughout their stay. I felt very comfortable with the dogs in her care and would definitely use her again💕”
“They were great! Mikeale was very communicative & quick with responses, sent daily updates with pictures, and accommodated my short-notice stay. Ruby was very tired when she got home <3.”
“Jamie and her family took such good care of Rusty! It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and they updated us with pictures and messages throughout our vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with our dog, she was very responsive to our request, accommodating to our time windows, and kept in communication with us the entire time we were gone. She was so loving and welcoming to our dog that he didn’t even want to come home! Highly recommended!”
“I can not say enough about the outstanding care our dog received from Scott and Ashley. We received frequent updates and messages to keep us up to date. We are so very grateful that they invited our dog into their home.”
“We first did the "meet & greet" to make sure our dog gets along with hers but it seems it went well, Ellie really enjoyed herself at Marie's house. Marie was very responsive and also very accommodating when we had to change our schedule. We also really liked Marie's daily text updates with pictures of Ellie'daily activities.”
“We left our Simba with Savannah for a weekend & it went great ! He enjoyed playing with her dogs & we could definitely tell that he wasn’t so worked up to come home (we have tried boarding locations in the past & he is very eager to get out of there asap & has never truly enjoyed that type of environment). We are very happy that we found Savannah to care for him ! The communication was great & and we are just happy that Simba had a safe/fun experience. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
“Christina was wonderful! She kept in contact with us and sent us super cute pics. Her dogs were very well behaved and I think our dog had a blast with them. Thank you so much, Christina!”
“Dana is wonderful! She takes good care of Hunter and sends pictures/ videos often. We really appreciate all the attention she gives him, and she is also super flexible. Thanks again, Dana! We appreciate you!😊”
“Yolanda and her family did a wonderful job with Gizmo. It was our first time leaving him for a week and with someone through Rover. Yolanda's patience, kindness, and experience brought me relief knowing that my dog was in great hands. She did everything possible to calm my anxiety-ridden fur baby and made him comfortable; kept me updated and was responsive; sent me photos; and was very easy/flexible to work with. By the end of the week, Gizmo was playing with other dogs and taking long walks twice a day, which he never does! He's been home for almost 24 hours and I can tell he misses Yolanda, but mostly, he's been sleeping like a baby. LOL. I couldn't thank Yolanda and her family enough. I finally found someone who was willing to take in my dog and refused to give up on him even when times were hard. I highly recommend her services! I've found my FOREVER dog sitter :) Thank you again Yolanda!!”
“My dog was apparently incredibly bad with Lauren (NOT HER WORDS. She was very sweet about telling me about his behaviors). Not because of her, but because of it being his first time being away from us and not knowing what to expect. She was patient and communicative with us. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and talked through any problems that's arose. I would definitely work with Lauren in the future.”
“Cheryl and Josh did an outstanding job of taking care of my “fur baby”. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. Great communication and they sent lots of pictures. Would definitely book them again.”
“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”
“We are return customers and we are so thrilled with the care Homer gets at Anna's. He is treated like one of the family and absolutely loves it there. Our family has no hesitation leaving Homer with Ana because we know he will be getting the best possible care while we are away. ”
“This was our first time using Rover and we didn't know quite what to expect. We set up a meet and greet to make sure it would be a good fit. As soon as my dog got out of the car, I could tell she was going to like it there. Alex was very communicative during the whole stay and sent daily pictures of how my dog was doing. This made us very happy to know she was in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely work with Alex again!”
