“Al and Hannah were phenomenal! They were very responsive and sent a lot of updates through my dog's stay. It made me feel very comfortable leaving Cas with them, and I absolutely will again if the need arises. Highly recommend!”

“Really appreciate Joan's kindness and care in watching Lacy. Lacy has stayed three times this summer, and we always feel so happy with the care she gets. Lacy comes home tired and happy!”
“Finny had a blast! I got updates every day and I could see how happy and content he was while I was on vacation. I was very comfortable knowing he was safe and having a great time, and when he got home he was good and tired. Thank you so much! I would be super happy to bring him back and would highly recommend.”

“Finn had a wonderful time with Duane and Lauren. They took such good care of Finn, kept him happy, busy and excercised. Im so grateful! Will book again soon!”

“Edith was wonderful,she kept me updated everyday with pictures and text messages. We were gone for ten days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was taking care of and giving the best care to my two dogs. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well taken care of. We look forward to working with Edith again and we’ll recommend her to our friends.”

“We're very happy with the care Kaycee and Robert provided are beloved labs!!! We recommend them if you're in need of pet sitting. They were very flexible and easy to communicate with. Will definitely use them again for our future needs.”

“Suellen was so great to Ari! She kept me updated with photos and videos and was very lenient with pick up/drop off times!! I would 100% recommend Suellen!!!”

“Fantastic! Can't recommend them enough. Our pup had so much fun, we got regular updates, and he got a REPORT CARD with lots of details at the end of his stay. Just wonderful!!”


“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”

“We love Margaret & so does our pup, she’s at ease whenever she gets to the house and sees her favorite dog sitter. She’s the only Rover we choose and we couldn’t be happier with her excellent care!”

“Excellent host! They send daily pictures and updates. My dogs looked so happy being in their home and backyard. Great communication and very flexible and accommodating.”

“Monica and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our puppy! They boarded him overnight while we were out of town, and from the start they were so kind, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. They sent tons of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy had a blast playing with their puppy and got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, I was a little worried he was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come home 😂 We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again! Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer and her family took amazing care of Finn. Also, their dog is super sweet and played well with my dog. Cant wait to have Jennifer sit Finn again soon!”

“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currently my mon-Fri dog daycare and sitting slots are full. I am occasionally free on weekends or have last minute cancelations and still have some evening avilability so please feel free to still message to ask :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick I have availability in the evenings and Friday-Sundays all day I can absolutely do drop ins and walks! Feel free to ask me about dates even if it says busy because I usually still can do drop ins and walks especially in the evenings or I might have last minute cancels :) I am more than happy to board or babysit more than 1 dog from the same household/family :) In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“Sofi took incredible care of our girl! She was always responsive and sent us frequent updates where I could see how happy Kiwi was. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and I would trust her with Kiwi anytime! Thank you again for giving so much love to Kiwi!!”

“What a great environment for my dog! He had two awesome dogs to play with and two awesome loving people to take care of him. Thank you so much. I didn't worry one bit and I'm excited for him to go back to you guys. Wonderful experience.”

“Out guy has a fabulous time and enjoyed his time with Alexandria and her household! They took great care of our boy and always sent us great updates while we were in Reno for a tournament. Totally recommend. The apartment complex was super dog friendly. He made a number of new friends while staying there.”

“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”

We had a great experience working with Derek and Yoki for a recent overnight for our dog, Sunny. Communication was quick and easy, drop off and pick up were a breeze, and they were available with only a few days notice. They sent us photos throughout her stay to keep us updated, which was great! We will definitely be going back the next time we are out of town!

Alyssa was excellent with our pup, Maggie! I can't recommend her enough. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was very helpful with our chaotic schedule. She sent several timely photos and updates, which was very reassuring especially when we missed her on our trip. Definitely would love to book again!

Trevor's been very responsive and helpful in setting up boarding, even when my schedule has been uncertain and we've needed multiple exchanges to sort out dates. He seems to like having Ollie and Ollie seems to be getting all the walks and cuddles he wants. Thanks!

I had a two week business trip and I felt so comfortable leaving my baby girl here for the entirety. I had no concerns or worries - she had an amazing time and enjoyed both her doggo and human companions while I was away. It means the world to me that I have a dog sitter I can trust for such long trips! Highly recommend - Ben is my go to dog sitter!

Rufus and Daisy's second "vacation" with Brian and Jessie - just as great as the first! We love how well they get along with their host doggies and seem to settle right in to the household. Brian and Jessie kept us updated with plenty of pictures that showed just how comfy the dogs were there. 100% would recommend and 100% will continue to board our dogs with these very fine folks!
