“Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”
“Brianne cared for our puppy during our holiday travels. She provided plenty of walks and play time. It was great that our energetic, friendly pup could spend time with a family and other dogs. Brianne sent pictures daily, so we felt at ease while we were away. She was excellent with communication, responding promptly when messaging on the Rover app. We picked up a very happy and tired pup after his stay. Would definitely book again!”
“This was our first time boarding Maple so we were very nervous and anxious. Maple also had a last minute health issue come up the day we were to drop her off. Andy was great, he provided daily photos and constant updates and was very responsive! We also really appreciate how accommodating he was with the last minute medicine that Maple needed to take”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“We are so grateful to Alex and Daniel for being willing to take a chance on our pup, who has had some behavioral issues with strangers. During the meet & greet, Ella immediately warmed to them both...so we knew that we had a great fit here. Ella had a glorious stay at their home, with lots of TLC and belly rubs. We've already booked her next visit!”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“We had an excellent experience with Chad and his family when boarding our somewhat anxious dog. They provided a nice calm environment for him and were communicative and accommodating to his needs. We were able to have peace of mind while away knowing that our pup was safe and secure.”
“Lee Ann and her family took wonderful care of Roxie. She sent frequently updates and pictures throughout the day so I knew that Roxie was in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Lee Ann and plan on using her again in the future. Thanks again!”
“Erin was kind, loving with Duke, and super communicative. One of the things I love best is receiving random pictures and videos of my little man when I’m away. Thanks so much for taking care of him!”
“Diana was warm and kind even before I made the booking—she explained everything clearly and her gentle tone made me feel instantly at ease. On the day I dropped Brownie off, she welcomed us into her home, showed me around, and gave Brownie the chance to meet her dog. It was lovely to see how they slowly got to know each other. The environment was clean, calm, and very comfortable, which gave me peace of mind to leave Brownie in her care. While I was away on my trip, Diana sent short updates and photos everyday— just enough to reassure me that Brownie was doing well and enjoying her time. I felt completely at ease thanks to her thoughtful messages. If you’re looking for someone to care for your small dog, I highly recommend Diana!”
“Johanna was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Rylo. He can be a little nervous in new environments, but we felt like we were in expert hands with Johanna. She shared regular updates and photos and was so great to work with. Rylo already can’t wait to play with her again soon!”
“I board Winston with Michael every time I go out of town. I get pictures of all of the activities they do together and all of the new doggy friends Winston makes. I feel entirely confident that my dog is getting the best care when I’m away.”
“We love Roseline and Zeus! Our dog was in such good company with Roseline’s own pup, and was so spoiled by Roseline! We got photo and video updates every day, and appreciated Roseline’s patience with our dog’s quirks and energy.”
“My active pug had a great stay with Colleen and family. I knew he was in great hands and they kept in touch with pics of Vinny and their lab Lily. Lucky to have found them!”
“Having Hailey staying with Madelyn puts my mind at ease. I know she will be safe and loved. Madelyn keeps me posted with photos that I enjoy when I’m far from home. Hailey and I are lucky to have found her.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member, and that’s exactly what I offer. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or making sure your dog feels right at home while you're away, I treat every dog like my own. Plus, your pup won’t be lonely—my friendly dog at home loves making new pals and will be a great companion during their stay. With years of hands-on experience, a big heart, and plenty of tail wags to go around, you can count on me for safe, reliable, and loving care. I work from home and have great flexibility. Your dog will not be alone. My dog gets 4 walks daily and you can expect the same for yours. I have a puppy proofed home and can provide a separate space for your dog if needed. My dog loves friends and will provide company to your dog. I am happy to crate if that is preferred.
“EJ took great care of Willa, sent plenty of photos and updates, and was really great to communicate with leading up to and throughout our boarding booking. Would absolutely recommend and use again!”
“My experience with Ms. Gabriela, who watched Oli for a week, was excellent. I could tell she took great care of my dog, sending daily pictures and updates that put my family and me at ease. It was wonderful to see how happy and relaxed Oli was. Gabriela is very kind, lovely, and gentle with dogs. ****I highly recommend Gabriela, and I will definitely use her services again!***”
“As it was our first time leaving Emme with people outside our family we were very nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for better people to look after her! Argos and her seemed to have the best time and she was clearly looked after very well. Mallory stayed in contact and updated me with lots of pictures and videos- which really helped me to feel comfortable. We recommend them without a doubt!”

Natalia is an excellent dog sitter. We feel very comfortable leaving Gigi in her care. She is very communicative and accommodating. She puts our minds at ease sending photos and updates when our dog stays with her. I would recommend her to anyone with small dog needs.
Johanna took amazing care our dog for boarding over 4 days! She was very responsive and communicative with photos and updates which provided assurance throughout the experience. Would definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Shanilka and Saliah were so wonderful to step in after another arrangement fell through at the last minute. I got updates several times per day and was happy knowing that my dog was well taken care of by such a sweet family. He got lots of walks, love, and attention and they never left him alone (which is even better than being home) :)
Michael took excellent care of my dog over her 6 day boarding stay. He provided consistent updates (with pictures!) and even took her on a roadtrip to one of her favorite spots. Michael went above & beyond and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and communicative sitter. 10/10!!!
Amy is AWESOME! We were gone for a week & she provided daily updates & pictures/videos! She was very communicative & is knowledgeable of dog needs & behaviors! She taught us how to properly interact with our puppy. This was our first time away from our 2 year old puppy & Amy was extremely patient with our clingy labradoodle!! I was able to actually enjoy my vacation and not worry about my dog’s safety… he even made new friends!
