“Lana and Wayne are very accommodated. Very sweet couple and they took care Luna very well. Luna is very happy, her tail is wagging when saw their dog. Thank you so much for your care. I am sure Luna was not an easy dog to take care since she was an old dog. Luna also has anxiety since her partner died last year, she sometimes got accident in her crate. Lana must be busy took care Luna's mess. Again thank you so much. It was a little break for Jay and I.”
“As usual, Vanessa and family are always amazing! She's become my do to dog sitter because she's kind, understands dogs and sends great updates during our pups stay!”
“Bella had a wonderful week-long stay with Heather. Heather was great about having a meet & greet beforehand and was very accommodating about having our adult son pick-up Bella before we returned to town. I love that Heather only takes one client at a time, has a huge fenced yard for play and took Bella on the daily walks she's accustomed to. Many thanks for loving our girl, Heather!”
“Yvonne is a fabulous dog sitter. Great communicator, sent pictures daily and definitely has a lot of experience with dogs. My baby came home as happy as she could be!”
“Emily is a great sitter! She sent cute pictures every day and it seemed like Rigatoni had fun at her place. He has a daily pill + cleaning routine for an infected nail and she did a great job with that. Rigatoni clearly loved hanging out with Emily and Lamar- we had a hard time getting him to leave! It was really easy coordinating pick-up and drop-off because Emily was really easygoing and flexible with times. We’re really glad we found her on Rover and I’m sure Rigatoni’s looking forward to staying with her again sometime soon!”
“Anthony was great! We couldn’t have had a better experience! Very easy to work and communicate with. We got wonderful pictures each day that relieved so much stress and concern! We will definitely use Anthony again!”
“Angelina was great. She sent me a number of videos that showed me what a great time Moose was having. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my dog Cooper. She texted everyday sent me pictures and kept me updated on how he was settling in. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Emily and William are the best! Our dog Kodi is always excited when we pull up to their house to drop him off and they send plenty of photos providing updates during his stay!”
“We’re so happy we found Megan! This was our first time using Rover and our second time ever having someone watch our pup overnight. We were a bit nervous since our pup is 10 months and weighs 70lb! We could tell he had such a good time, loved Megan, and didn’t want to say goodbye his new friends! Megan is so knowledgeable about dog behavior and caters to each dogs’ needs so well. She clearly loves dogs and takes such good care of them. Megan also was kind to answer all our questions about his behavior so we could identify what to work on with him since he’s a pup in training. All in all, we’re picky people, and Megan ticked all the boxes! Thank you Megan!”
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”
“I’ve never left my dog with a non-family member before and was nervous about doing so, but Sara exceeded my expectations. My boy seemed to love his time at her house and she provided so many updates with pictures. I highly recommend and will definitely use Sara again when I need a dog sitter.”
“Katie was amazing with my Danner! I had an emergency pop up where I had to fly to my home town and Katie was so nice and flexible with me! Danner came home happy and pooped from all the fun he had! Definitely recommend Katie!”
“Keyana has great communication and I felt super comfortable leaving Mowgli with her. Mowgli had a great time. Definitely plan on booking again. Thank you!”
“Sharon boards in her home and has a great play area for the dogs. She is very caring for all of her boarders. We will definitely use Sharon to board our dog in the future.”
“Amanda was great! Gave me updates during my trip to make sure I knew my dog was doing good :) very nice woman. I’ll be using her again.”

“Crystal took great care of Bailey during an extended trip. Bailey is a senior pup and has special needs. Crystal handled her meds and was flexible with her rhythms. Crystal was very responsive to Bailey’s needs and very communicative with us which helped us to have peace of mind on our trip.”
About: I've always loved animals, and several dogs have "owned" me over the years. I lost my bestest girl about 2 years ago and I still mourn her. Now that I'm retiring, I can't think of a better way to spend my time than helping care for your furry family members. I have experience with senior dogs, as well as giving meds. I've watched pets for friends and family for years. I'm currently working part-time Monday-Thursday and home by 3:00 on those days, so I'm able to give long walks and snuggles. Friday through Sunday I'm home so able to board pups and cats during those days. I'm able to stay in your home any days of the week. I live alone so your pet/s will have all my attention. I live in an apartment and will walk your pup several times a day with at least one long (@2 miles) walk if weather and their health allows. I allow pets on the furniture and on the bed if they are used to that. I'm happy to send update pics during the day. I admit that I have lots for my favorite pet friends, but I don't often do selfies, so the pics on here show pets that I've cared for doing activities, but don't include me.

If your sweet dog is like another (or your only) child - this is the place for you! Thank you, Gregg!
Keyana treats our 2 dogs like her own. She is sweet kind and loving towards animals. She is the only person I book. Me dogs love her.
Can’t say enough good things about having my dog stay with Cynthia the past 2yrs. She always comes home super tired and happy, and has the best time of her life with her puppy friends playing out on the trails and in the river. Cynthia is the best!
Lana and Wayne are very accommodated. Very sweet couple and they took care Luna very well. Luna is very happy, her tail is wagging when saw their dog. Thank you so much for your care. I am sure Luna was not an easy dog to take care since she was an old dog. Luna also has anxiety since her partner died last year, she sometimes got accident in her crate. Lana must be busy took care Luna's mess. Again thank you so much. It was a little break for Jay and I.
Amanda was great! Gave me updates during my trip to make sure I knew my dog was doing good :) very nice woman. I’ll be using her again.
Our puppies had a great time with Africa! We’ve never left our dogs for this long (almost 2 weeks) but we knew they were in good hands. She communicated with us daily and wore them out with activity. We will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you Africa!!!
Noah was amazing. My dog had a blast. Noah was very responsive and very flexible. Would absolutely book again, and highly recommend.
My dog had a wonderful time staying at Kylie’s house. He isn’t always interested in playing with other dogs but LOVED playing with her Golden. Kylie was great at sending updates, and I wasn’t sure my dog wanted to leave once the weekend was over because he was so content. Will definitely book with her again!
Mary was terrific, super responsive and flexible with our needs. She made things very comfortable for us and our dog. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.
Chloe is super friendly, asks all the right questions, keeps people up to date with pictures and summaries while the pet is staying in her home. Highly recommend Chloe for any breed/temperament!
Incredibly friendly and kind to my lil old guy. Always fast with communication, took great care of my dog. Sent me the absolute cutest pictures of him!
Mackenzie greeted me and my two pups at the door and instantly knew they would be loved! It was a last minute booking and I was nervous. She took AMAZING pics of my dogs (professional, I am telling you!) and I knew they were happy! Her son played with them too. I would not hesitate recommending her to take care of your pups!
Mariell is a superb pet sitter. Our pet was with her for 7 days and adjusted with her family very well. Mariell is very patient, gives a lot of attention and kept us well informed with pictures multiple times a day. Best part is that she has similar size pets and lot of space in the back for them to run around.
