“Richard did a great job with Al. He kept me updated on Al’s daily activities with pictures and video. Al was able to play nicely with his dogs in the fenced in yard. Communication was easy and prompt. I’m happy with my experience with Richard and recommend him!”


“Kathy does such a great job with my dog Cooper. She is so kind and loving to my dog! I get many Pictures of him through out the day. I know he is very taken care of. And gives great walks!!”



“Very impressed with the care and attention Victoria gave my dog. As a veteran on Rover I have experienced many sitters and Victoria is one of the best I’ve had. I truly had no worries leaving my dog with her as she cared for her as I would have. Wonderful communication with videos every morning and evening while always asking all the right questions to be sure my dog was always happy and comfortable. We have found our new sitter. Highly recommend!!”



“Today when I took Breya over I was happy because I can tell she likes Amy and has a great time with her by the way she greeted her. She does the excited whining and jumping like she does when she's happy to see me.”


“Rose was a great dog-sitter for our dog, Wednesday! We loved getting a daily update with pictures of our girl. Wednesday and Rose’s dog Daisy had fun playing together, too! Already booked another stay for Wednesday with Rose for our next trip!”


“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”


“Great dog sitters for my anxious little dog. They sent updates and photos daily. My dog was more comfortable the second time around. I will be booking you again in the future! Thank you.”


“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”


“Christine was so great w/ floof. He can be an anxious boy and she went out of her way to do lots of small things to make his stay as stress free as possible, working to accommodate him and what he needed to feel at home. She sent regular updates and pics, he came home a happy boy :) We'd love to use her again for future vacations”


“Amazing with my little void! Everyday pics and video and my little baby looked so happy to be there! Went above and beyond and made little toys for her!”


“Kevin was exceptional - this was our first experience with a dog sitter, and he was courteous, responsive, and accommodating. His greyhound, Maki, is a gentle soul who got along wonderfully with our smaller dogs. We were especially grateful for the updates and photos of our pups relaxing and out on walks. I highly recommend Kevin and would be happy to entrust him with our pups again in the future!”


“Breanna was amazing! Always kept in contact and we felt our sweet boy was loved and taken care of! Definitely the best experience we had with Rover!”


“Adam is the best companion and sitter for your dog you could ever imagine. Our dog Auggie spent 12 days in Adam’s home during our recent vacation and we could not be more grateful for the care, love and attention he paid to Auggie. Adam opened his entire home to our dog, got to know him and bonded with him super quickly; he took him regularly for long walks, dog parks, visits to his friends and other dogs, and shared daily with us countless pictures of their joyful activities. Thank you Adam, Auggie and you have bonded forever.”


About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.

“Thank you, Geoffrey, for taking such good care of Benji. I really appreciate your love of animals and the frequent photos and updates while we were traveling. I think he felt at home with you. I will definitely book with you again.”


“Tessa was great! My dog isn't usually the cuddly type, but he cuddled right up to her. She was always communicative, sent regular pictures and updates, and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet to be sure she knew what my dog needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”


“Brad was amazing with Kelso! He made sure he kept us updated the whole time we were gone, worked on training, and even got Kelso to start going to the bathroom in the yard vs only on walks! He made our experience leaving our baby better than we could have imagined! Would recommend Brad to anyone who wants their dog loved and taken care of!! Thanks again Brad!”



“Adrienne took our dog for a really nice hike. She is a high energy dog and really needed this. When we picked her up we knew she had been spoiled and loved on.”


“Ronald was very responsive and took great care of my old gal! Would highly recommend.”


“Abby and Jason took such great care of our fur baby while we were away on vacation. Ron had the absolute best time playing with Wall-E, and the two became very quick best friends! This was our first time leaving our dog for a few nights, and Abby and Jason made us feel very at ease with lots of updates and pictures throughout our trip. Would highly recommend them!!!”
