“We came home to happy healthy pets after traveling for the holidays! Maya was super responsive, responsible, and flexible. Our travel plans changed very last minute and Maya kindly accommodated our request to take care of our pets for an extra day. We would definitely book Maya again and recommend her to others!”


7. Emma S.

“Emma was on time for our meet and greet and on the day she cared for our dog. She listened to and followed all instructions, asked appropriate questions, and took excellent care of our dog at our home. Next time I need a dog-sitter I will contact Emma first.”

“Kailee stayed @ our house and took great care of our golden doodle ! We loved having someone at the house and being able to keep his routine Our doodle got lots of love and some extra walks ♥️”




9. Eric H.



“Our dog requires some special attention. She's anxious, scares easily, and can present as aggressive towards other dogs when out in public. Eric met with us, reviewed all of our dogs needs, and didn't shy away once. When he first arrived our dog was not very gracious. She wouldn't let Eric near her. He very calmly made her feel comfortable, and soon they were fast friends. He also survived a dead battery in our smoke alarm and a busy dog day at the local park. Through all of the unfortunate events that came up on Eric's stay, he calmly and patiently informed us of all the goings on. We received multiple pictures and texts daily, which was very reassuring for us. We felt very comfortable with Eric watching or girl and would book with him again! Your pup will be in excellent hands :)”


10. Natalie B.


“We left for a week and looked to Rover to support our pups while we were gone. I reviewed several great recommendations but Natalie was the best. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable in her understanding of different breeds and their behavior and very personable. She sent us pictures of our dogs every day (which we thoroughly enjoyed) and left our home in great condition. I’m happy to recommend!”


11. Marsha E.

“Marsha watched our three elderly dogs (2 14 yr olds and a 12 yr old) for five days in our home and did a fantastic job. She was able to understand their many needs and she catered to them immensely. Marsha kept in contact with us and sent pictures to us. This was the first time we had a stranger to the dogs watch them and she won them over hands down. Marsha is a wonderful person and dog sitter and we would easily have her back again!!”


12. Rachel H.
About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work a full time sales job, but it is very flexible when I have a heads up. I love taking dogs on walks after work as well, we have a really good dog park nearby! I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. I don’t have my own dog yet, so doing this to get my dog fix in :)


13. Jaida M.

“Jaida clearly cared about my kitty's happiness and provided friendly updates. My house was well taken care of!”


14. Miranda C.
About: I grew up caring for animals on a farm and trained dogs for obedience and agility shows. I love big dogs (and small one too) and carry the confidence needed to handle them. I currently work mostly from home and have great flexibility with time. I enjoy time outside, so walks and playtime are encouraged. A typical day of work is 9am-4pm M-F and 3pm-10pm on Saturdays. I have a closed off basement if a safe/secluded area is needed along with a fenced in back yard. I am very careful about open doors and windows along with making sure food is not left on counters or tabletops.

19. Apri G.
About: I have had dogs since I was 10 years old, Calli was my 1st dog, she is a Alaskan Malamute/Husky mix, then in 2020 we got our 2nd dog Rico, he is a Bichon/Shih Tzu mix. I have loved these two since the day we got them and I have all the skills to take care of a puppy to a senior dog, I am free every week, weekends are a hit or miss in the summertime but other than that I am available to puppysit and board the fur babies over night. I am a photographer so, I will be taken a few pictures of your fur baby, under the owners consent. I live out in the country with 3 acres of land so the dogs will have enough space to run around, it's not fenced but we keep a close eye on our two dogs. We have a two story house with plenty of room for another two dogs to join the family for a little bit.

About: I have been dog sitting for 16 years. I have three dogs and one cat. I have loved animals my whole life and have always had one. My goal is to make your furry baby feel right at home while I am there. I work a part time job on Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other weekend from 11 am - 4 pm. I'll feed your dog or cat in the morning and in the evening along with several small treats throughout the day. I'll pet them, comb them and give them lots and lots of love! Looking for a drop-in visit? I will spend our time playing and rough housing, combing their fur or just hanging out with lots of pets and love! How about a walk on your dog's favorite route or even go to his/hers favorite dog park and have some fun? I'll take care of them and get some that pent up energy out that they may have. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. Please let me know and we can set up a initial visit with myself, you and your pets too. I look forward to taking care of your pets. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can take them for walks, comb them and play with them or just cuddle on the couch and love on them. I let your pet come to me. I know they all have their own little personalities and when they are ready, they will come to you when they feel they can trust you. I have a special little dog just like that! If they feel safe in their kennel while I am gone, I will put them there and if they want to cuddle, I will do that too.
