“Jessica was great and the dogs seemed so happy and well taken care of after their stay with her! I will definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”
6. Owen B.
“Owen is the best! I had never used Rover before and I was nervous about it, especially because I have a husky puppy. But Owen was great with my dog, walked her and played with her the entire weekend and sent me regular pictures and updates, which I definitely appreciated. He has a huge yard and he stays with the dogs all day. He even sleeps in they same room with them so they feel secure (which is a plus for huskies, who need people around often). Will definitely use Owen again!”
7. Ana L.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, back home I have four dogs, one beagle, one husky, one labrador and one border collie so I know how to take care of different breeds. I've also had my neighbors, friends and cousins rely on me to care for their dogs, feed them, take them on walks and play with them. I really love dogs and I miss my dogs every single day! I am a full time student but I have a flexible schedule. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays on the mornings from 6-10 and after 3pm, and open availability whole weekend! I am always on the look out for them and take them on walks/play with them. I can crate them if needed and also feed/take medicine if needed.
8. Amber D.
“Amber is truly the best sitter I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Mochi always had a great time at her place. She even took Mochi to see the cherry blossoms. We highly recommend Amber to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
9. Haven P.
“Haven and Mike were wonderful with our cat Gizmo. Super quick to respond to all my messages, and they helped Gizmo feel at home even though she was a little nervous at first. We would definitely book Haven and Mike again!”
10. Tory A.
“Tory was wonderful with Nala! Nala loved her beginning with our meet and greet. Tory sent daily photos of Nala where I could see the smiles on her face and how comfortable she was in Tory’s company. Tory also took Nala on daily walks in different environments like the beach! I highly recommend Tory and look forward to Nala’s next stay with her.”
11. Joseph L.
“Cooper had a great time and was exhausted when he came home. Joseph has a nice environment for dogs in the city with a fenced yard. There were other dogs so they had plenty of playtime!”
12. Andrea R.
“Andrea and her daughter were so sweet and took amazing care of my little baby!! Will definitely be booking with them again!”
13. Brittany & Christian H.
“I had a last minute trip and reached out to Brittney & Christian. They got back to me right away. And they said they would be happy to take Summer :) my pup. They were so lovely and welcomed Summer into their home with their sweet dog Herbie. It was nice to have another little pup there to also keep my dog company. I’m so incredibly happy to have found them. They sent pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. Best of all when I picked her up she was happy and content. I will always use Brittney, Christian, and Herbie ;)”
14. Chanel H.
“Chanel was a loving caretaker for my pup and has a wonderful home with a great yard which was exactly what my puppy needed to get her runs in and her play on. Chanel is clearly an animal lover and formed a bond with my pup in just the short time she watched her (two days and two nights). They loved each other and Abita was sad to say goodbye! Highly recommend!”
15. Madi B.
“Great experience. Madi was an excellent communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up time. My dog stayed with her for 2 nights, and she sent multiple photos and videos without me even requesting it. When I went to pick him up, her and her roommates seemed sad to see him go. You could tell she gave my dog a lot of attention. 5/5, would hire again without hesitation. Thanks!”
16. Naoko G.
“My pup was very comfortable and happy at Naoko’s! She was a loving caretaker for my pup and took excellent care of him, he had a wonderful time! It is also nice they have a fenced yard. I will definitely rebook with Naoko again!”
17. Wendy S.
“Wendy is really great with dogs! You can tell right away that she is such an animal lover and is the kindest person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again. Thank you, Wendy!”
18. Joanna M.
“Joanna accommodated a last minute booking for me and always responded promptly. She has a dog door and a large yard. Forest was very happy there!”
19. Ryan K.
“You can tell when someone simply loves animals and this is the case with Ryan. He genuinely cares deeply for these pets and he will care for yours like how own.”
20. mary s.
“Thanks to Mary, my 18 year old precious kitty felt supported and loved while I was out of town. It was the first time I had ever taken her to someone's house while I was gone and I was very nervous. But my kitty came home in much better spirits than when I have left her at home alone with just twice a day feeding visits.”
