“Renata was so caring and patient with my dog who was a little nervous being away from me for the first time. She updated me a lot and sent a lot of pictures as well. Definitely will be asking for her services again!”
“Perfect ! This is the second time, Camille and Nadège take care of our dog during 5 days. We had pictures and news daily, it seems our dog was comfortable and had a good time. Thanks again and see you the next time :)”
“Ashton and Jay were great taking care of my husky/pit mix, Jersey. They were patient and loving with him while he adjusted to his new environment and they provided updates daily. Jersey definitely got enough playing and walking in as I got him back happy and tired! I will definitely be using them again when I’m in the area and recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Erin is awesome with Percy! We feel so comfortable leaving Percy in her care. Erin has the cutest dog, Kobe, also which is a major bonus! Thank you for all of the communication and the great care you take of Percy! Can’t wait till next time 🤩.”
“Caroline and her mom (the whole family really!) take such good care of dogs. My Daisy girl had such a great time and was so well cared for! I’m so happy they went above and beyond for my girl and am looking forward to having Daisy taken care of again soon!”
“Helped me out last minute when I was in a pinch and didn’t have anyone to watch my dog Smokey. He sent me photos and daily check ins, and updated me about some behavior smokey was doing while he watched him. He even hand fed Smokey when Smokey wasn’t eating (he gets anxiety and won’t eat when I’m away). I Will definitely be reaching out in the future as needs arise. Thank you!!”
“Anastasia was great with our dog, Jamal. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and we could tell when we picked him up that he really enjoyed himself and was comfortable there with her. Definitely recommend!”
“Winnie looked like she was having a blast when I received the photo updates. Thanks for being so kind and quick to respond. I hope my crazy hyper dog wasn’t too much trouble.”
“Melissa and Christopher took great care of our pup while we were out of the country. Kaja loved their space and fenced-in yard. Melissa and Christopher were communicative, friendly, and accommodating, and we appreciated the photos and videos that they sent us daily.”
“Chelsey was able to take my cat, Pharaoh, last minute in the middle of a move and short trip. I rarely spend time away from her so it was very hard to trust someone. But upon seeing Chelsey had 11 repeat clients I decided to take the chance knowing it was probably for good reason. Chelsey took amazing care of Pharaoh, gave me constant updates including photos and videos, and overall allowed me to feel at ease and focus on what I needed to do. Peace of mind especially with an animal you raised from 3 days old is absolutely priceless. I highly recommend booking with Chelsey!!”
“Our dog Scout has stayed with Sandi multiple times. Sandi is fantastic. She is responsive, loving, attentive and Scout definitely feels at home. When we get close to Sandi's house Scout whines and cannot wait to get out of the car. Highly, highly recommend!”
“They did an amazing job watching over my Pomeranian. Very responsive and sent plenty of pics and video updates. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable sitters!”
“Michelle and her family took care of my dog really well! Communicative, gentle, kind and patient. My dog really enjoyed staying with them it feels just like home for her!”
“Hershey had a wonderful time staying with Nayira and her family! We were updated daily with her well being and all the pics showed all smiles. Would reach out again for future sitting needs as I am happy with the care, communication, and enrichment our Hershey received during our time away.”
“Emma’s so kind and sweet! Took care of Peanut very well, she kept me updated, gave the food according to my instruction, was patient to Peanut. I highly recommend her! Thank you for taking such good care of my Peanut.”
About: I've been a professional dog walker/pet sitter for the past 15 years, and new to Rover! I take care of dogs and cats, and have a lot of satisfied customers, including the pets (they just can’t put it into words). Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness is always my top priority, so rest assured they’ll be well cared for. I'm a freelance writer in my spare time, with pet sitting being my main job. I take care of dogs in my home or your home for walks and/or drop-in visits, and cats in your home for drop-in visits. For day care or boarding, I live on the ground floor of a 4-unit house with a small fenced-in, shaded yard for the doggies to go potty and play in, and there’s plenty of room for zoomies! Yard time is always supervised by me (they’re never out there alone), and I also take them for walks in my tree-lined neighborhood. There are dog beds & comfortable couches they are welcome to plop on.
“Karin and her sister are the sweetest ladies. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We had a lovely meet and greet and I witnessed their genuine affection for dogs. They also sent pictures and videos of Lilly having a great time. I will definitely bring Lilly back to them for sitting.”
“My dog, Bert, loves being with Stacey and her dog, Lucy. Stacey sends lots of pics and Avery always looks happy. I appreciate all that Stacey does to make sure Bert feels right at home and loved. Thanks❤️”
“I appreciated Melisa and Alexis daily review and they followed my pet’s routine. He was a bit nervous as it was his first time boarding but they kept on sending me pictures and updates every few hours. I appreciated that they let me know about his anxiety his first night, with restless sleep and offered to correct what was causing his anxiety which worked the 2nd night. He slept better and I really appreciated their proactiveness with it. I am at ease now knowing that I found a loving family to take care of my lil Cinco when I need it. Thank you so much Melisa and Alexis.”
