“Felicitas was absolutely amazing! We needed a sitter last minute to check in on our dog while out of town, and she was very accommodating. She sent us lots of videos during each check in visit, and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. Our golden doodle Benny absolutely loved her and we will definitely book with her again :)”


“Danielle did an amazing job watching my fur babies!! I was super nervous leaving them but she always responded to me when I had a question or just needed to let her know something! I will be using her again in the future!”


“Joselyn was excellent. I have a very old 16.5yr old dog and she could not have been more attentive and patient. She leaves very detailed notes about the visits and goes above and beyond. We are thrilled to finally have found a sitter we can trust and will definitely book her in the future.”


“Claire was just outstanding. She took care of my kitty like she was her own. She went above and beyond to interact with her, scratch her, let her spend extra time outside on the sunny days, and was all-around a great sitter. I would have Claire watch Smudge again in a heartbeat.”


About: I have been taking care of pets for many years from dogs to a diabetic kitty that needed shots. I have also cared for goats and chickens , that was a new one but I loved them too. I clean houses most mornings and am free to help with your pets most afternoons and evenings. I would be available early morning as well. I would take excellent care of your pets in your home and have many references. I like to sing silly songs to them and earn there trust.

“Ashley went above and beyond to take care of our pups! I was nervous using the app as it was my first time, but I felt so comfortable leaving them in her care! I would 100% recommend having Ashley take care of your fur babies!! She was amazing!!”


“This was our first time using Rover or trusting anyone other than family with our pets. Shelbie immediately made us feel at ease with how attentive, professional and friendly she was with us and our pets. She was on top of everything and gave our pets quality care and love while we were gone! She provided thoughtful updates and helped our pets feel comfortable and come out of their shells. For the first time ever we were able to take a vacation and have peace of mind. I highly recommend her as a sitter!!”


“Kim is extremely kind and our puppy just loves her! She did a drop in visit for us, and sent pictures of her time with our pup which made me feel at ease. We met up prior to the visit twice for a meet and greet and to go over a few things. I will definitely be calling on Kim again, and I'm sure our pup will be thrilled!”


About: Hi! I’ve been working in animal welfare for over ten years. I previously worked in a small boarding facility and also helped occasionally with a large scale open boarding facility! I have been working and training with dogs since I was 9y old (over twenty years of dog training and competing!). I currently train with my two german shepherds in dog sport now since 2015. I have a quiet household with no children and I only sit one family’s pets at a time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like individuals and give them what they need then reach out to me! I’m well versed in working breeds, can help with training needs, and manage many different kinds of behavioral quirks in my house as well (from reactivity to resource guarding). I work full time currently and would love to provide boarding for dogs that will be safe, fun, and enjoyable! They will become like my own while at my house and treated with the utmost respect and care. I have a 4ft fenced yard for your dog to enjoy while staying with me and I never leave dogs unsupervised outside to their own devices. I also love to walk pups at the park up the street when I’m home! Dogs are kenneled while I’m not home as a safety measure or depending on the health/size of your dog I could potentially baby gate in the kitchen. I have a large dog pen as well for pups that aren’t destructive, but would like more space when I’m not home!

“Taylor did a wonderful job with all of our pets and kept constant communication. She kept me up to date on my cat's progress after his surgery and was very professional. We would definitely work with her again.”


“Tori was so amazing!!! Our dogs were so well taken care of and they absolutely loved her. We were not concerned at all while she was gone and we appreciate the amazing care she gave them.”

Erica L.
“Erica is absolutely AMAZING with my dog! My elder guy can be a large grumpus which made me nervous leaving him with anyone. However, Erica has exceeded all my expectations of care and communication when she watches Rufus due to her vast knowledge and experience working with dogs of various backgrounds and behaviors. She sends me lots of pictures of them out on walks and adventures and you can clearly tell he is having a blast! When it's time to drop Rufus off with Erica, he doesn't even look back at me for good bye kisses- as if his time there is his own stay-cation of rest and relaxation! He truly enjoys his time with Erica and she takes such great care of him that I can travel in peace and come home to a happy well loved dog.”
