“Willow seemed to enjoy her stay with Kristin and Bruce! They sent sent us status updates and pictures every day so that we knew how she was doing. I'd definitely board with them again!”
“Amazing people who love and care for my pup while he is with them - they also send the cutest pictures and updates! They were also super understanding when I got stuck in traffic on the way to pick my dog up.”
“Bob is the best dog sitter I have ever met. He is so caring and responsive. He kept us updated with how our dog was doing, and our dog had a great time with him. Our dog is typically very shy, but she warmed up to Bob right away. I recommend him wholeheartedly, and hope to use his services again.”

“Emily and her family took amazing care of my dog Dove! They welcomed her as part of the family and did a great job gauging and responding to her energy level as needed.

I knew Dove was being so well taken care of, and I (and she) look forward to having her stay with Emily again in the future!”

“Christine is BEYOND amazing! This was the first time leaving my big boy for a week while I went on vacation, so I was extremely anxious about it. Christine immediately put those fears to rest!! The amount of pictures and updates I received was incredible!! Shadow had plenty of friends to play with and was frequently out on walks or at the dog park. I spoil my baby way too much, but Christine treated Shadow like he was her own!! I know now when I go on vacation that I have someone I can count on to truly care for my baby!!!”
“Tessa did an amazing job watching Rena. She gave the best pup-dates complete with pictures and videos so we had peace of mind knowing our gal was doing ok! Tessa took extra care understanding Rena had some anxiety and gave her love, attention, and - most importantly - lots of walks and outdoor time. We can’t thank Tessa enough!”
“Clover had an awesome time with Sarah and her pups. This was our first time using Rover and Sarah made us super comfortable with the process. She was very fast with responses, and sent updates and photos while we were away. Her dogs were very friendly with us and made quick friends with Clover. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”

“Joe watched our dog while my husband and I were on vacation and we couldn’t have been happier with the situation. How kept us up to date with how our pup was doing and knowing she was being looked after the entire time we were gone put my mind at ease. I am so happy we found Joe! I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with their dog!”
“Ryan and his family provided exceptional care to Jake. My usually anxious dog adjusted well! Thanks for providing him with extra cuddles when needed and some trips to the park. I will definitely book again!”
“Wanqing took wonderful care of our dog! She came home happy and tired. We got frequent updates and photos. We are grateful to have found Wanqing and will definitely be rebooking with her when we have a need.”
“I could not be more thankful for Maggie! She and her family took incredible care of Lincoln while we were out of the country. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family so I was nervous. But Maggie patiently listened and I never once worried about him after dropping him off. She sent the most detailed videos and photos with updates every day and treated him like their own. He enjoyed walks, playing with Nova, treats, chilling, and lots of snuggles. In fact he didn’t even want to leave their house when getting picked up. So nice knowing he was loved and happy!! Thank you Maggie, Seth, Tanner, and Nova!! We appreciate you SO much! Lincoln looks forward to his next visit!”
“We felt Teddy was very well taken care of. He got lots of love, plenty of tennis ball throws, and sweet cuddles from Heather and her daughter. It felt great knowing Teddy was in such good hands while we were away.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.
“For a newbie on Rover she definitely delivered and did an excellent job! She has enough help around the house to make sure dogs are taken care of and getting attention at all times. She kept me updated as much as I would hope for and I felt the dogs were in good care while I was gone for the week! Would book again next year:)”
