“Shelanne was great with my dog. She cared for her like she was her own dog. She is very organized and made sure that she sent several pictures and videos while my furbaby was in her care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.”
“Kristen and her family was very welcoming to my baby Oreo. The communication was both prompt and clear. She sent many pictures of Oero the whole time. I definitely would recommend her. And hopefully we can use her again.”
“Amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my two furbabies with Eileen for five days. She gave regular updates (with video!) and I truly couldn’t have taken better care of them myself! I know she loves my furbabies as much as I do, which makes leaving them so much easier for me.”
“Alison was great with our dog Maggie! She took great care of her, kept her on her normal schedule, and showered her with attention and walks! Alison kept us updated during Maggie’s stay with texts and pictures. We felt very at ease knowing Maggie was so lovingly cared for while we were away!”
“Rose was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, not only to us but especially to our dog, who she cared for like her own. Her home was clean and welcoming, with a great fenced-in yard that gave our pup plenty of space to play. Rose accepted our request quickly and kept in touch with great communication throughout the stay, even sending us pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfect—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Kara took great care of our Gilly guy while we were away. She sent updates morning and night with details about how his day/night went along with pictures. The pics were the best bc we were really missing our guy and the kids loved seeing the pics each day. Would definitely rebook with her. It was super easy and painless the whole time”
“I’ve boarded Murphy with April and her family 2x and it’s been a great experience. She always keeps me up to date with how he’s doing and he takes very long naps when he gets home - that tells me he had a lot of fun. Murphy is looking forward to his next stay!!!”
“Dierdre took great care of my dog, Baxter, from April 24–May 5. She sent frequent photo updates, and he was clearly happy and well cared for. Her family was warm and welcoming, and Baxter even bonded with their dog. Highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“Steven was great with my 2 large pups! He sent pictures and was very quick with responding. It was my first time leaving them with a stranger so I was nervous but Steven made sure they were well taken care of and comfortable. He walked, played and hung out with them each day. He even went and bought them a little extra of their food when they ran out! I would 100% use him again!”
“Adrienne cared for our George as if he were her own. She was very communicative. She took George out to various events and he seemed relaxed in her care. I would 100% use her in the future and highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”
“Ashley is an angel on earth. She loves and care for my pup like he is her own. She sent picture and video updates often!! She even was flexible with flight delays, taking a lot of stress away for me. Cannot recommend more!!!!”
“I was nervous leaving our girl for the first time - but from the moment of our meet and greet- Carrie made everything feel so comfortable. She has a lovely family, lives on a farm with three sweet pups. Ellie was treated like family - from relaxing on the recliner with her husband to sleeping in her bed. I’m so grateful she was so well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Carrie again. She was very interactive with me throughout Ellie’s stay which was very reassuring. Thank you Carrie!!”
“Our little guy Dexter had a great time during his vacation with Brooklyn! She made us feel comfortable leaving him with her for a long weekend and she sent lots of pics and definitely made him feel right at home”
About: I have always had dogs in my life, from growing up with family dogs, owning my own, and dog sitting friends and my family's dogs. I have a large backyard, completely fenced, enjoy walking, and spending time outside. I have two teenage children who love dogs! I am a school teacher so able to board on weekends and summer months. A typical day includes at least one walk and access to the backyard freely all day long. I have a fenced in, large yard, and one dog to keep your pup playing and happy while they are here. I have one cat that is indoor/outdoor and tends to keep her distance:)
“Yajaira and her family was so good to my fur baby! She kept me updated with text, pictures, and accommodated my fur baby in every way to make him feel at home. Thank you for giving M’baku a home away from home during the holidays.”

Clayton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Brooklyn was great with Roscoe and made me feel really comfortable leaving him with her. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and was happy to meet him ahead of time, which I really appreciated. While we were away, she sent pictures and updates throughout the stay, and I could tell he was being really well cared for. Honestly, the biggest thing for me was the peace of mind. I wasn’t stressed or worried about him while we were gone, and that means a lot. I would absolutely recommend Brooklyn to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their dog. 🐾
