“Yajaira and her family was so good to my fur baby! She kept me updated with text, pictures, and accommodated my fur baby in every way to make him feel at home. Thank you for giving M’baku a home away from home during the holidays.”


“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”


“Stacey was always our go-to on the east coast. Our fluff ball had a blast every time he was with her and their dogs. She was always available and flexible. Thank you Stacey for taking such good care of Sheru. He misses your warm care. We wish to see you again next time we are around the East coast.”


About: I started using Rover way back in 2013, doing housesitting and dog walks! Took a break for a long time, but I'm on the school schedule so my summer is open! In 2026 I have my own home with a fenced yard, a small dog who loves visitors, and some dog-friendly cats. Your dog will love it here! I'm on school hours, so I wake up early for a morning potty break for my dog, then he eats his breakfast while I get myself put together, then a quick leashed walk. He's alone for about seven hours. We have a potty break, playtime, dinner, an evening leashed walk, and usually another potty break in the yard around 10pm. During the summer break things change a little, my dog is alone a maximum of five hours, I'm not on quite as early a schedule. My yard is fenced! Small dogs can potentially wiggle under my gate, so yard breaks are supervised. I have a patio and many toys as well as plenty of grass to roll around in.
“Anjali took very good care of my pups while I was away. She messages back quickly with correspondence. She also sent pic updates, which I love and appreciates so much. I highly recommend this rover sitter. Her son also had a lot of fun playing with one of my pups. All and all, very positive experience. Thank you!”

“Kara took great care of our Gilly guy while we were away. She sent updates morning and night with details about how his day/night went along with pictures. The pics were the best bc we were really missing our guy and the kids loved seeing the pics each day. Would definitely rebook with her. It was super easy and painless the whole time”

“Martin and Annette are great with Layla Nicole! She fully enjoyed her stay with them. When we went to the Meet & Greet; Layla was immediately comfortable in their company and home. She went to both of them for love when we got inside; her tail a wagging! We were pleased with her response. After spending time with Martin and Annette, we felt confident that this was a good match for our family. They work well as a team and spoiled Layla as much as we do. We r sharing our experience with everyone we know who has dogs. WE WILL DEFINITELY USE MARTIN AND ANNETTE IN THE FUTURE!! They r a blessing to have in our circle of friends. Ty again Martin and Annette and may God continue to bless u.”

“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”


“Sarah was great with our Golden Retriver when he was boarded with her for 3 nights. She frequently sent pictures and updates on how he was doing as well as answered any questions we had along the way. I felt very safe and comfortable with him there and I would definitely use her again in the future!”

“Jenny and her family were fantastic with our dog, giving periodic updates and sending pictures and video. Allowing us to be at ease while on vacation. This is a very loving home. Her and her husband (and others) took great care of our dog, giving him plenty of walks and attention…he probably had a hard time leaving!”

“Zoey had a wondefurful 5 night stay with David and Phyllis. Our very anxious pup made herself at home quickly and enjoyed all of the attention she got during her stay. This was Zoey's first time work David and Phyllis, but I'm sure it won't be her last. Thank you both for taking such great care of her!!”

“Adrienne cared for our George as if he were her own. She was very communicative. She took George out to various events and he seemed relaxed in her care. I would 100% use her in the future and highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

“Shelanne was great with my dog. She cared for her like she was her own dog. She is very organized and made sure that she sent several pictures and videos while my furbaby was in her care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.”

“Monica and Conrad were amazing with Heron, our 5 month old puppy. Heron was so comfortable and had Pongo as a playmate. I knew when we met them before scheduling the boarding that it would work out because Monica and Conrad are kind, caring people who love dogs. Pongo was calm and playful with a new puppy 'roommate.' We received daily photos and a review of the day and previous night. We will definitely book another boarding for Heron with Monica, Conrad and Pongo! Thank you so much!”


About: Hi, I’m Jai! I’m a passionate animal lover, certified dog groomer, and dedicated pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — even when they’re away from their family. 🐶✨ My journey with animals began through my 4 years in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I gained hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and proper handling. I also have experience working on a farm, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, patience, safety, and the importance of providing consistent care. Throughout high school, I completed 4 years of agriculture classes, including animal science and anatomy studies, which helped me better understand animal health, body structure, and overall well-being. Along with my dog grooming certification, I have built a strong foundation in caring for dogs and understanding their individual needs. I am also continuing my education with the goal of opening my own affordable, high-quality dog care facility, where every pet can receive loving, dependable care without families having to worry about the cost. My passion is creating a place where dogs feel at home and owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring hands. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup is a playful adventurer, a shy sweetheart, a senior needing extra patience, or a cuddle-loving companion, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable. When your dog is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Safe, reliable, and personalized attention 🐾 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection 🐾 Walks and activities based on your dog’s energy level 🐾 Grooming knowledge and attention to their comfort 🐾 Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected 🐾 A patient, caring, and responsible environment Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’m passionate about and continue to build my future around. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I’m already dedicated to creating a structured, safe, and loving environment. My days are built around routines, responsibility, and making sure everyone’s needs are met — including my furry guests. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. One of the things that makes my home special is my 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and exploring. My property includes a walking trail, a river area, and an invisible fence system that helps provide an added layer of security while they enjoy the outdoors. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every pup is comfortable and cared for during outdoor activities. I love creating a home-away-from-home experience where dogs can relax, have fun, and receive personalized attention. Between my animal care background, grooming experience, and love for dogs, I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, care, and affection they deserve. I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide personalized care. My daily routine allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, including regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. I have 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised adventures, including a trail for walks, open areas to play, and access to nature while being protected by an invisible fence system for added security. I understand that every dog is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, comfort preferences, and daily habits. My background as a certified dog groomer, along with my experience through FFA, agriculture classes, and working on a farm, has helped me understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of patience and proper care. My goal is to provide a home-away-from-home experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they are receiving dependable, attentive care. 🐾If a pet is crate-trained or an owner requests it, I can comfortably use crates for rest periods, meals, or bedtime to help maintain their normal routine. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, and I work to keep their schedules as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while away from home.
“I’ve boarded Murphy with April and her family 2x and it’s been a great experience. She always keeps me up to date with how he’s doing and he takes very long naps when he gets home - that tells me he had a lot of fun. Murphy is looking forward to his next stay!!!”


“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”

“Danielle was great! She was very attentive to our dog Dylan, who stayed with her and her two pups for three nights, and Dylan got along with her dogs--Gunner and Ruby--swimmingly. She gave him his meds on schedule and took him for walks. She also greeted us outside when we arrived and invited us in, which was much appreciated. Oh, and she sent multiple pictures Dylan each day. We will use Danielle again.”

KitKat stayed with Nicole and her husband many times over the years, and I always felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. You never have to worry when leaving your fur babies with her. She is passionate, caring, communicative, and treated KitKat like her own. I truly appreciated all of the updates and attention she gave him over the years, especially as he aged and needed extra TLC. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you both for everything you did for him. I am truly grateful for the extra love and care he received.

Jenny and her family took great care of Theo for his few day’s stay with her. Jenny kept us updated with pics and videos throughout Theo’s stay. It gave us complete reassurance that Theo was in very good hands. He was very spoiled with lots of attention, and he enjoyed having a dog friend for companionship. I will definitely book Jenny again for future care.
