“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”
“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”
“Gabriella watched our lab Bentley on a last minute notice and did an amazing job caring for our big guy! She was super responsive and sent photos throughout the stay. Would highly recommend and absolutely book again! Thank you!”
“Sky was very accommodating and sent me some cute pics of my Louis. She is so good that he even ate for her and potties for her. He rarely does that with a new sitter without some coaxing. He felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Asma is great! We had a nice meet and greet and Lulu has an awesome day with her. Asma was communicative and sent really cute photos throughout the day. Lulu the dog approved!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!
“Grace is so wonderful and my puppy loves her! She is very responsive and sends updates throughout the day. My dog has separation anxiety so going into the office is a little tough, but I am so glad I found Grace to take care of Carmelo while I’m at work. Now, I don’t feel guilty leaving him because I know he is having so much fun with Grace!”
“We found Mac on Rover and connected based on tremendous reviews for doggy daycare. Mac is outside awaiting Keely’s arrival each morning, takes her on nice walks, and communicates well with us and our varying pick-up times in the afternoon. Keely knows the name “Mac” after just one week and is so happy at morning drop off. We are thrilled with the time and attention Mac provides for Keely!”
“I’m so grateful to Allison! She is very responsive, flexible, very patient and sweet with my dog who is very anxious and shy. I feel very relieved knowing he is in good hands. Thank you so much for watching my sweet angel!”
“Katherine is wonderful! She was very flexible when we needed a last minute sitter for the day. Sends lots of great photos to keep you updated during the day. Definitely recommend!”
“Silvia is everything I was looking for in a pet sitter: kind, communicative, and responsive to my needs! Plus, she has lots of fantastic experience with dogs, so I knew my pup was in good hands!”
“Jason agreed to watch Charlie, our senior citizen dog, at the last minute. Charlie seemed to have a really great time with him. When my wife picked him up, he had a real pep in his step, which is always a good sign. Jason was very responsive, flexible and understanding. We will certainly use him again.”
“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”
