“Kevin was fabulous with Skye from the very first messages until I picked her up. He sent me pictures and videos and texts every day, several times a day, to ease my mind that Skye was OK and she was in good hands. From the pictures I could tell she was happy and content and well taken care of. I will definitely be contacting Kevin again next time I go out of town.”

“We were nervous about boarding our dog the first time (mainly my wife) and Lisbeth was an absolutely fabulous person to trust our puppy with! She is a professional, caring, and responsible "sitter" and we will be lucky if she is available the next time we need her. Yes this is a lot of praise, but it's for good reason. Thank you!”

“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”

“I refer to these young ladies as, The Girls. Only because I usually can't remember their names! Lol. They are always there for me. They can take my furbaby on short notice and I need that in my line of work. My dog loves them. I highly recommend these ladies!”

“Marlene took my 2 huskies on to board overnight on short notice and took excellent care of them. She was very accommodating to the one’s anxiety and was very attentive. I would definitely recommend using her services 😊”

“Sarah and Aaron made our little King Charles feel like the Princess she believes herself to be, and she was very happy during her 15-day stay with them. They sent regular updates showing her daily life, and they did a great job keeping up with her heart medication. Our Dani will stay with Aaron and Sarah again and again.”

“Tito was very happy after his stay with Lorraine! She and her dog Dixie provided a very welcoming home. Communication was great both setting up the stay and during the stay. Thank you!!”

“My dogs had a great experience here. Came back home healthy and very happy. Will definitely take my dogs here again. Jessica and Melissa are great - and they sent lots of great pictures. Highly recommend.”


“My Dog Bailey stayed with Donna for week while my family & I were vacationing. It was the first time Bailey had ever stayed away from us for more than a night and the first time it wasn't with family. I was naturally nervous, but Donna made me feel very comfortable with it. She sent us updates and pictures on a daily basis, so we could see that Bailey was doing great! It was comforting for us. Bailey had a great time with Donna and her dogs :) She was great and we will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”

About: I've had animals my whole life. I was taught that a pet is only a pet in the beginning. Then, they're family. Know that your baby will not only be safe, but also cared for when in my care. I have a flexible part-time schedule and take classes online, so I spend a good bit of time at home. Plenty of opportunities for cuddles and multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard. I can supervise outside, if preferred. I have 3 cats. The boys are interested and my come up to your pet, but that's all. My female cat will just ignore them. They're pretty docile.
“I was really apprehensive about using a stranger to watch my two yorkies. To make matters worse, I had read horror stories about people leaving their furbabies with someone they found on Rover. I didn’t want to board my babies, so I decided to try a pet sitter instead—and I’m so glad I did! I found Carol through the Rover app and started a conversation with her. We set up a meet and greet the week before we were leaving. Carol was very warm and welcoming, and she immediately connected with my dogs. Her house was immaculate, and she had a nice fenced-in backyard. She even mentioned that she’d still walk them on a leash because they’re small and she didn’t want to take any chances with them slipping through the fence. That showed me how thoughtful and cautious she is. During our visit, my yorkies wandered around her house, sniffing and exploring. Before long, they jumped up on her couch and made themselves right at home! After meeting Carol in person and seeing how comfortable my pups were, I felt so much better and confident they’d be in good hands. Carol watched my babies for five days and four nights. Throughout their stay, she sent me regular updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Most of the time, they were snuggled up on the couch looking completely relaxed and happy. One day, Carol messaged to let me know that my female wasn’t eating much. I asked if she could get her a hamburger or something I knew she would eat, and I’d reimburse her. Carol offered to make chicken and rice instead, and after getting my okay, she whipped it up—and my pup ate with no problem after that! I really appreciate Carol for taking such wonderful care of my yorkies while we were away. She treated them like her own and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using Carol again for future trips. She was amazing!”

“Louie had a wonderful stay with Ms. Linda! She took him for long walks and cared for him like he was her own. She kept me updated with pictures and videos! We will be booking with her again!”

“I think Sammie will hope we go on vacation more often! He was so well taken care of- I felt he was treated like part of the family. Plus, he had the bonus of a playmate to spend his days with. It certainly made our time away more enjoyable, since we didn't worry about him. Thank you so much for the great attention and care. We will absolutely request you again!”

“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”

“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”

“Leyanna and her family were wonderful to work with! They sent pictures every day which were so cute! They have a beautiful home and nice, large, fenced in backyard so my kids were very happy there. I do plan to use them in the future and I would recommend them to anyone.”
