“Drew was awesome. Communicated thoroughly and took time to send pictures of my dog. He was flexible with both drop off and pick up, which was a huge lifesaver due to change in travel plans (out of my control). I am super grateful- my dog came home clean, happy and healthy. Highly recommend!”


“Our little Willow (Mini Goldendoodle) was cared for as if she was their own. Very good communication through out the boarding stay. Pictures and videos of how she was doing gave us the comfort of knowing she was having a good time with the pack. We would definitely reccomend Jessica's family to anyone worried about boarding their fur baby's. A very good first experience with the Rover App.”


“A wonderful family with a beautiful home! Truly cared for our dogs to have their space outside, comfort all around with the people in the family, comfort for sleeping, attentive to their nutrition needs, and updated us with pictures and videos with we love to see!!! Our Spock and Cosmo will definitely be coming here again 🥰. It was so nice knowing they were in great hands.”


“Itzayana is absolutely incredible! She is so attentive and loving with dogs in her care and was wonderful with June. She was very communicative, too, and it was great getting sweet pics of June having fun with her and the other pups in her care. I especially loved how she made time for us to come by and help June adjust to her home before the overnight. It made everything so welcoming. Thank you!”


“Jess took excellent care of our dog Maggie! She received lots of walks, cuddles, fun time with the family and their pets! We have used Jess for cat care too, she goes above and beyond and stays in touch!”



“Andrea was fabulous when my dog Oreo stayed with her. He is shy and takes a great while to open up. Andrea knew exactly how to handle him. Providing me with such ease of mind while away traveling. She kept me posted with pictures and notes about his day and sent him home with a goodies bag as well at the end. She is great source to leave your beloved dog child with!”


“I was very satisfied with everything that Nichole did and communication was superb! My Cooper is on prescription food and that was absolutely no problem. Her location is good too- close to college and convenient to many areas of Rochester. Will use her again if needed!”


“Stacy did a wonderful job taking care of Bonnie. She sent pictures and updates daily. I felt confident that Bonnie was getting the proper care she needed and never once worried about that during my trip.”


“Tyler was great at communicating! Our dog did well for the weekend, and she appreciated the outdoor time and playing with Tyler's dog - I would definitely use Tyler again to watch our dog!”


“Jennifer was so great with Karl! Her home was very clean and welcoming. She made sure that Karl was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time he was there. Karl was taken on walks as well as brushed during his stay. Karl got along great with her dogs and I could tell he was a happy pup when I picked him up. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay and I knew my dog was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”


“Juliana kept Leica for two nights while we attended a wedding. From the videos looks like Leica had a great time with Julian's dogs. We definitely will use Juliana again when we travel. Appreciate all of the attention you gave Leica.”


“So great and so easy. She could tell our pup was anxious via her doggy cam and came home early to help settle her. I would not have expected that and am so grateful. Definitely hope to be in touch again!!”


“Moki had a great visit. She was well cared for and loved the social interaction with the other dogs. We were kept connected through photos, videos and chat. We really enjoyed that. The location is readily accessible from our home and it was located in a nice neighborhood. This will be out location of choice in the future.”


“Kirsten took such amazing care of my cats!! I appreciated the updates she gave on them throughout the week and they were happy and well cared for when I got back. Thank you!”


“Charity took great care of my dog while I was away! She sent daily updates and photos, and was always quick to respond to any messages. My pup was clearly happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Charity to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and I would gladly leave my dog with her again!”


About: Born and raised in Germany with beautiful cats of all shapes and sizes. My very first cat was my beloved Minki that was a proud 17 years and deaf in both ears! If that wasn't enough, she also only had three teeth and was rescued from the roads. She taught both my mother and I how to be responsible and how pets ARE family. After Minkis passing, my beloved Imy has entered our hearts. Imy was a strong headed almost human-like boy. He knew how to potty on the human toilet, went on walks with me and accompanied me to my school. He was very protactive of us and very clingy. We unfortunately lost him in 2014. Also his name choice might be surprising, but I was a little girl that thought that pretty kitty must be a girl! Well, the name stuck with us! In 2014 we adopted two pretty twin kittens Pixel and Gray. They are going strong at 11 years old, and live with my mother in Germany. After leaving my life behind in Germany to be with my husband, I was determined to be pet free, no hair, no bills - yay! Until we drove to an appointment on a super cold day and encountered a barely alive kitten - our now baby boy Basil. Basil is the light of our hearts and became a big brother as we adopted Toast just a little over a month ago! I have experience with both female and male cats, disabled, old and young. Both indoor and outdoor cats are familiar to me as I had lived with both at some point. Currently my cats are indoor with occasional cat-walks outside on the leash or when heading out with a cat stroller. My husband has experience with farm cats as he grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. I am a 911 dispatcher and my schedule varies. I work 12 hour shifts and my husband is currently in the process to become a trucker. He will not be over the road, and comes home after his shift. I have several days off due to me working a stretch, but my cats are truly taken care of. We rent a small 2 bedroom house with access to a front and backyard. We live next to neighbors that have a beautiful male ragdoll cat that likes to visit from time to time. I love to clean and am very adament about my cats hygiene as well. Their litter boxes are cleaned up to 4 times a day, they never live in filth, they receive hair care and groom care. Their nails are trimmed regularly, and they receive wet food including dental care. I am also very concious of their safety. Basil tends to be scared of strangers at first, but we own a kitty cam, the cats have plenty of room, with access to all rooms, except basement (as it is not directly accessible through the home). Have window benches, a cat tree, and are allowed to lay wherever they want. The only boundary we have is them being on the kitchen counter.

“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
