“Michelle did a great Job watching Sadie Mae! Was sent pictures consistently and updated. She took her for a walk/jog even in the cold weather. Will be using her for future boardings.”


“Madeline was great with our boys! One of our dogs is very shy and he warmed up to her right away. We felt super comfortable leaving them with her. She sent lots of photo updates and it seemed like our boys had the best time with her! Would definitely have her watch our dogs again.”


“Shawna was a great sitter for my pup! She took my fur baby on frequent walks, sent me lots of pictures, and made sure my doggo was comfortable and adjusting well to being away from home for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend having her as a sitter!”


“Alex went above and beyond when caring for our dog, Sumo. Communication was excellent, easy drop off and pickup, and kept us up to date while Sumo was in his care. He was even kind enough to clean our dog’s bed AND get new treats for Sumo to help him take his meds more easily. I would highly recommend Alex for any pet sitting needs. I’ll certainly be using him again in the future.”


“So kind! Lisa kept me updated all throughout my cats time there, sending me multiple photos daily. She had fresh litter waiting and plenty of beds for them to lay in. She kept them company and showed them lots of love for me while I was gone. Communication was great and I appreciate all of her help. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future if needed. Thanks Lisa for your hospitality! 🐱”


“Joan and Timothy were so amazing with our son! We were gone almost a full week for our wedding and it was such a blessing that we found them. It was clear from the moment we first met them that they were very experienced in dog sitting and their home was perfectly equipped and spacious for our boy. They made sure to walk through his entire daily routine with us when dropping him off and they provided us with daily updates, pictures and videos on how he was doing. He came back to us a smiling and happy pup. Would absolutely book with them again - thank you so much Joan & Timothy!!!”


“Jillian was so awesome to work with! She was easy to communicate with and was flexible with making plans for our last minute booking. She treated our cat like a king and sent video/picture updates the whole time we were gone! I will only be using Jillian for all my cat’s sitting boarding needs in the future.”


“Erica was absolutely amazing! This was our first experience boarding outside of friends and family, and she made us feel so comfortable with pictures and updates. Arthur had the best time and came home a very happy pup. Erica went out of her way to know our preferences and make sure Arthur felt at home. 100% will be booking again!!”


“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”



“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”


“Mindy was fantastic with my Argyle sending daily updates with photos and video. I would definitely recommend Mindy and have Argyle stay with her in the future.”


“Allyn was a wonderful sitter and extremely patient and flexible, with several things I had going on at the time we booked!! I was all over the place, due to several personal matters and mishaps, and Allyn remained friendly, open, and accommodating throughout, which I REALLY appreciated. She also handled my Sienna with wonderful tender, love, and care, providing updates and pics and even applying my optional tip to play jazz music for her while Allyn was away!! I highly recommend Allyn and would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Allyn!! <3”


“Couldn’t be more happier to had crossed paths with Kimberly. She understands my crisis I’m in and has been nothing but welcoming, supportive, sends updates of my pets, in communication there is never any delays which is great. I’m able to pop in to check and get love from my pets which is more than ever needed for me at this time. I’m greatful for Kimberly and the outstanding service she provides for my pets. I’d highly recommend Kimberly to other fur parents”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve owned many dogs throughout my life and currently share my home with two happy, well-behaved four-year-olds who are walked, bathed, and spoiled with love on a regular basis. Friends and family often rely on me to pet sit because they know I’m attentive, trustworthy, and caring with animals, always making sure their specific needs are met. I also have a 2-year-old daughter who adores animals just as much as I do, so your pets will be surrounded by lots of love and attention in our home. I’m happy to host your pets here or care for them in the comfort of your home, whichever makes them feel most at ease. You can count on me to treat your pets like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are Accommodations can be made to adjust to whatever your needs may be. I currently work a hybrid model that offers flexibility and only need to be in my office three weekdays. The remainder of the week, I spend working in my home office (making sure I take plenty of breaks for puppy snuggles) My house is set up to meet the needs of a dog owner and the location is very quiet and streets are not busy. There are gated areas in my home to prevent dogs from going into rooms they shouldn't be in, or to simply give anyone space if needed. We love to play with our puppy friends in our fenced in back yard. My pets follow a daily routine and I am excited to see how I can help care for your pet while you are away!

“This was the first time Luka stayed with Genevieve and her son Alex. It was an overnighter! It was the first time in a long time that Luka was away overnight. While Luka showed some signs of anxiety i believe Genevieve and Alex handled it with the utmost of compassion. They are really focused on the pets they care for. At pick up time Luka was still very attentive to both of them and showing signs of affection in her own ways. When she got home, she was very calm and right back into her routine. I have nothing but positive feelings about her stay and care. Also very important, Genevieve communicates well with owners which is very helpful in knowing how things are going. Thanks for a great first experience.”


“Jake was amazing. He is so calm and kind to be around and my dogs loved him. He sent me photos every day, which was reassuring. He took excellent care of them for 6 days and we plan on booking him again for our next vacation. I had such peace of mind that I was able to really relax and not worry about my dogs. Jake completely exceeded my expectations.”
