“Emily was great. She took very good care of my dog Benny. Benny is blind and hard of hearing. He needed some extra care. She always sent pictures and updates through out the day.”
“Craig is great! He stayed in our home with our 13-year old Sophie. She liked him at the meet and greet, and again for the hand off. Craig was communicative throughout the week, sending updates and pictures. It was obvious to us that he understood Sophie's personality and respected her boundaries. We had peace of mind while away, knowing that she was well-cared for. We will definitely be calling on Craig again. Great experience!”
“Sara was so great with our dogs! She sent pics and kept us updated frequently. The house was exactly as we left it and she even washed a load of towels/sheets for us! Highly recommend having Sara watch your pets!”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was a child. I have been involved in fostering for local rescues & shelters for 5 years I have co-ran my own 501c3 rescue for almost 3 years I do work full time, so I am gone Monday- Friday from roughly 7A.M until 6 P.M. (depending on how far you are from my job). I drive Uber on the weekends during the summer months, but those hours are flexible & can vary based on your pet's needs. I have a fenced yard, but I have 3 senior dogs of my own and because of running the rescue, I usually have a foster dog as well so taking a dog into my home would be more challenging, but if I were to drop in or stay at your home, your dog(s) would get all of the one on one attention &time that they require
“I cannot say enough good things about Tawny! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs and home. Taking care of multiple large-breed dogs is no small task, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience, and so much love. My dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Not only did she ensure their routines were followed perfectly—including feeding, exercise, and playtime—but she also took the time to give them the extra attention and affection they need. She kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. On top of caring for my dogs, Tawny also looked after my home as if it were her own. Everything was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she had gone the extra mile to keep things in order. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Tawny. She is a gem, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Alyssa was a great sitter! You can tell how much she loves animals! Excellent communication and photo updates. The house was spotless when we got home. Would definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing with our two fur-babies. She came by twice ahead of the stay to allow our pups to get familiar with her (especially our older pup Raisin). She was extremely proactive in communication and sent us daily photos of our boys while we were away. I am typically very nervous leaving our pups with a new sitter but Kayla put us at ease instantly. I was able to not worry about our pups knowing they were fully taken care of and spoiled by her. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! She’s amazing and we will be booking with her again so long as she’s available moving forward!”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. As a retired mom with decades of caregiving experience, I bring patience, calm energy, and a deep sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. What sets me apart is the time and attention I offer. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, a stroll around the block, or following a detailed routine, I treat every pet like part of the family. I believe in clear communication, a clean and safe environment, and creating a low-stress experience for both you and your pet. While you’re relaxing at the beach, you can rest easy knowing your pet is in loving, experienced hands. Animals have always been a joyful part of my life, and caring for them fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, or playtime in the afternoon, I structure my day to ensure pets get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’m retired, so I have the flexibility to give your pet the time and care they deserve—without juggling a busy work schedule. Every day includes cuddles, check-ins, and keeping things calm and consistent to help pets feel safe and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like family—with a cozy, clean environment where they have room to relax, play, and feel secure. I make sure all areas are pet-safe and free from hazards, and I follow any routines, dietary needs, or medications just as you would at home. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding times to walk schedules and any special care your pet needs. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible, so they feel loved and cared for even while you’re away.
About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.

“Tyler is the best! He communicated daily and followed our guidance to ensure our Vizsla dog was exercised, stimulated and properly care for. He left our home in great condition when we returned home. He is the only sitter we will have for our dog.”
“Abigail (Ebbi) was very sweet, patient and kind. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend her and she’ll put your mind at ease in leaving your fur babies behind. We’ll definitely use her again if the need arises. Thank you so much Ebbi!!😍 Ruby and Joy also thank you! Woof! Woof! 🐾🐾”

“Nicole has cared for my dogs and cats many times throughout the years, and I couldn’t ask for a more dependable and compassionate pet sitter. She has always gone above and beyond, even willingly taking on the extra responsibility of helping with a foster dog or cat I had in my home. One of my cats is medically complex and requires daily medications and a strict routine. Nicole was open to learning everything he needed and handled his care flawlessly. She kept him on schedule, administered his meds without issue, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She also cleaned up after them in the yard, and my home was kept immaculate. Both me and my pets highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy, capable, and caring pet sitter.”
