“Bobbi and her husband took such great care of our fur babies!! We got a few photos while we were away and they had such a good time!!! We have a puppy who actually had a few accidents in their house and they were so kind and understanding about it. 10/10!!”



“Christina kept our Australian Shepherd this past weekend. Our dog has lots of energy, but Christina was very patient and our dog loved staying there. We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter.”


“The pups didnt have friends this weekend, but Rhett was ready to play with Echo as soon as he got there. And they have been running around like crazy. And also plenty of snuggles at night. Thank you again”


“A+++ amazing. I haven't used Rover before, and definitely never left with someone who wasn't friends or family, so I wasn't quite sure how he'd be, and I was afraid of worst case scenarios. Heather put all my fears to rest immediately on meeting her. She has a way with animals, and a calm and reassuring demeanor that both I and George appreciated so much. George isn't much of an "adventure" dog, so when I go on my next adventure, I know exactly who I will contact to care for him!”


“Sarah is a very good dog sitter, she take very good care of my dog, and sent me photos and updates. Very good communication, her place is near a small dog park, fun for my dog. I would highly recommend Sarah if you need a dog sitter. This is my first time use rover, experiences are good and easy, so much better than dog hotel or kennel.”


“Shelby and her family were so welcoming and patient with my girl, Winnie. I scheduled with her last minute and also had to delay drop off due to work schedule that day — but Shelby was super accommodating. Shelby took the time to ensure Winnie was introduced to the new home and surroundings. Her adorable kids are very gentle, quickly best friends with, and give tons of love to the doggos. I will absolutely use Shelby (and her family) again in the future - it is such a relief to know my girl is with such a loving family while I am gone.”


“Kodi was able to accommodate us very last minute and did so super friendly and willing! She was very communicative during our trip with updates and pictures but she also was respectful of our time on vacation and didn’t bombard with questions or messages either. The perfect mix of staying connected and space to enjoy our family. She went above and beyond caring for our Koda. I would definitely use her again!”


“If you're looking for a top-notch pet boarder, look no further than Elizabeth! From the start, Elizabeth was a breeze to communicate with—super responsive and incredibly easy to talk to. When I picked up my dog, the sheer joy and excitement on his face spoke volumes. It was clear he had an amazing time and was well cared for. 😊 I’m thrilled with the service and will definitely be returning to Elizabeth for all of our pet boarding needs. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”


About: I am an animal lover. I have three dogs of my own, all small rescues. I love big dogs but can’t have them in our tiny house. I am a full time nurse practitioner but take care of animals on my days off. I know how hard it is to find loyal and trustworthy people to care for my animals. That is why I wanted to provide this service. Also, walking and playing with dogs and cats is fun. We also travel and are interested in keeping dogs during travel. My husband and I work together to make sure our dogs are outside regularly throughout the day. I will only be taking appointments on my days off, so my schedule is a little sporadic. For overnight stays, I need to have walked your dogs at least 4-5 times and/or completed a trial of doggy day care to make sure your dog gets along with my personal animals.

“Erica was amazing! She kindly took on Bruce with no complaints even though he was a puppy. She kept me updated everyday and sent numerous photos for me to view which helped us stress less about leaving Bruce after just welcoming him into our family not too long ago. Erica is well prepped with toys, snacks, and play areas for any cat or dog and I highly recommend her for your pup or kitty!”


About: Distinguished pet sitter that will help train pups and care for seniors. Each furry friend will get personalized attention according to their needs and personality! I have been around so many different dogs my entire life, we were the family that took in every rescue. I love animals and will always go above and beyond to make your fur baby to feel at home! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, ensuring feeding, exercise, and affection! I am able to customize my own schedule which makes pet care fit perfectly into my schedule! Personally, I have 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog great company, as well as in our neighborhood we have plenty of space to walk, a great backyard, doggy pool, and a lot of room for play! A safe environment and keeping our space tidy is of top priority for me!

“Dena was the best! It was our first time using Rover and we were extremely nervous about leaving our baby with anyone. She stayed in contact with us and sent plenty of pictures and videos! My Draco came home happy as could be and even smelt better than he did when we dropped him off! I will most definitely be contacting her when we are back in that area!”


About: I have taken care of many people’s animals as well as my own for years! I grew up on a farm and had several dogs and cats. I would love to get to know your animals too! I am currently working full-time, but would love to do overnight stays with your pet, drop in visits after 5:00 pm or before 7:00 am. I am available Saturdays and Sundays all day. I would love to take your pet on walks in the evenings as well! I have two very friendly and playful dogs of my own that would love to meet your fur baby! We could go on walks and I can even bathe your pet for you.
