“Marilyn was a fantastic dog sitter, and I'm so happy we've already got her booked for another upcoming weekend away! At our meet and greet, our Zephyr was comfortable with Marilyn right away, and she clearly settled in and made herself at home while we were gone. Marilyn sent us plenty of updates and photos, and I could tell our pup was having the best time ever! Marilyn cared for Zeph probably better than we do! At the risk of this review contributing to making Marilyn so popular that we won't be able to book her again, I'll she's easily one of the best dog sitters we've ever had, and I can't recommend her more highly!”

Danielle R.

“Nothing but great things to say about Kara & Ben. They took such great care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. I am not from the area and this was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a little anxious. Both Kara and Ben provided pictures and reassurance that they were being well cared for. I am very appreciative! 10/10 recommend 😊”

Laura T.

“Brandi was very communicative and understanding. They were flexible when we had to drop off the dogs due to travel accommodations. Our dogs felt right at home and had a blast playing with the other dogs.”

Manda

“I highly recommend Shawn And Joey. Bella warmed up to them right away. Dogs can tell these things. After initial meeting, we had no qualms about boarding. They updated us daily, with photos of walks, dog park, playing with other dogs. When we arrived to pick her up, she wasn't super excited to leave. Thank you for your outstanding care and keeping our minds at ease. We'll definitely bring Bella again when we need long term care.”

About: Taking walks around my pond, lots of cuddles, and play will be enjoyed at my home. Open to working with your feeding schedule preferences for your pet. Weekends, I will be home more to play and cuddle. I work outside of home during the week, but in the evenings I will have lots of time to play and have fun. If you have a crate, I would love for you to bring it for the dog. This way, if I am sitting with multiple pets while I'm gone, they are safe. Also, I will always have a leash in my complex.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for pets of my own, as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific routines for feeding, walks, medications, and individual pet needs. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to provide dependable care, playtime, and lots of affection for your furry family members! I currently work mainly remote, so I am able to have a flexible schedule to tend to your pets care and needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day! I love starting with walks, playtime, and attention to help pets feel comfortable and happy. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and routines. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own while they’re in my care. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for.

“Leora and her pups were a delight. Mine was a little overwhelmed but Leora was a champ. She knows how to comfort and be with your pup. I’d use her again.”

Feliz M.

“Dash seemed to have fun and was wore out when we picked him up. We didn’t get any updates throughout his overnight with her which would have been nice. No complaints though!”

Callyn O.

“Julia did a great job. She met my kitties before her visit. She checked in and sent pics to show me how they’re doing. She also took the time to send a little update. She does a great job!”

Shellie A.

“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.”

Stephanie K.

“First time hiring Riana and she was fabulous. We have two loving but quirky pets and she took fabulous care of them! Will definitely hire again!”

Kasha H.

About: I am a huge cat lover aswell as dogs, i have had both for most of my life, i know how to give medicine aswell as care for their hygiene!

“Sydney watched my cat Promise in her home while I traveled for 2 weeks. Promise was very happy with her. She sent me regular updates. Promise is an only pet so tends to be a little territorial with other cats. Sydney has 2 cats. They were very well behaved around Promise & Sydney kept them all happy. She is a very good pet sitter and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their furry friend.”

Grace K.

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life, aside from when I was in the dorms during college. I currently own 2 cats and have recent experience with nail clipping, tooth brushing, and medication delivery. I am definitely a cat person and will make an effort to spend time with your kitty how she/he likes it (play time, lap time, snack time, etc.)

“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. 🐾”

Grace H.

“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!”

Claudia M.

“Debora was here today for her first drop-in visit. She was prompt and sent a couple pics as requested. She also left a note for me on how the visit went. My pup and her hit it off great at the meet and greet.”

Denise B.

“She took my cat on less than a days notice, treating her like her own, and when my flight got delayed a day, she was super understanding. Would recommend to anyone who has pets. I will be using her again indefinitely”

Madeleine F.

“Thank you so much for taking care of my Othello! I could tell he had been well cared for when we came home. I also appreciated the additional photos and the fact that he let you pet him means he must have really trusted you! I hope to be able to book again with you!”

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.

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.

“Randee was so accommodating. He has a nice area for any dog to get there exercise and sunbathe. Tonka was certainly tired when he came home. We’ll definitely be asking Randee for another play date!”

Kelly M.

“Due to a family emergency, I needed last minute doggie daycare, but my regular provider was already booked. Leora allowed me to meet her on short notice. Thankfully, Leora and her fur babies, Kiwi and Daisy, made my boy, Toby, feel right at home. My boy seems happy to go to his new friends' home and content when he returns home. I trust Leora to watch after my fur kid and I do not trust easily. Thank you, Leora, for being a genuine pet lover.”

“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!”
