Dani is great with dogs. Our dog Hart spent the week there while we were on vacation. We got pictures and updates every day and he enjoyed his time there. Dani is conveniently located for us and very kind. Your dog will be in great hands!

Jessica is amazing!! She has taken care of my two dogs now on multiple occasions and takes extra special care of my senior pup. I feel so comfortable every time I leave them with her and she sends me updates without me even asking. She is passionate, caring and such a great sitter! I will always recommend Jessica and choose her as my sitter every time!

We have a 10 month old rescue and were looking for a family with multiple dogs to keep our pup entertained and engaged for our first time leaving him for over a week. Kristin is the perfect fit! She is patient and accommodating and very communicative. Our dog thrived in her care and yours will too. We hope she is available next time we go out of town.

Stephen was phenomenal with our pup!! Extremely communicative and friendly. We got multiple photos and videos each day! He took him on walks every morning and let him play with all the tennis balls he could find! This was our dogs first time staying with someone other than family and it seemed like a vacation - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. Highly recommend Stephen and we will definitely use his dog sitting services the next time we go away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”

Cailey took care of my senior cat for an extended time and took great care of her. Cailey kept me updated on how my cat was doing, including for a period of time where my cat wasn’t eating as much. My cat will do this on occasion so I wasn’t concerned, and appreciated Cailey noticing and checking in with me about that. I would absolutely work with Cailey again, thank you!

There is no one more understanding on dog behavior like Rebecca. She understands and listens to you, your dog, she tends to every need, goes above and beyond on communicating with you before during and after the stay. I highly recommend her as my pup was so happy and comfortable with her; I'm very pleased to have found her! Thanks for everything you do Rebecca, Tesla & I love everything about you.

This ensures that your animal companions feel safe and secure with someone they are familiar with while I am in their home.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 6 years and I'm excited to continue my pet sitting journey on rover. I look forward to meeting your dog and treating them like part of the family! I am available any day of the week between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm however, these hours are flexible especially for doggy day care. I have a large yard with a 100ft dog runner. However if you or your dog are uncomfortable with the runner let me know and I can leash for bathroom breaks instead.

Sunny had a wonderful week with Sabrina and her family in their beautiful home. She loved the large fenced in backyard and playing with Luna. It’s always hard to leave our fur baby behind when we travel, but Sabrina put us at ease. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Sunny!
