“This was our first time to leave our small dog and we couldn’t be more happy. Paula goes above and beyond to give love and attention and sent us several messages, photos and videos to ease our concerns about Milly possibly not adapting. When we picked her up she was happy as could be. We highly recommend Paula!”
“John, Rachel and their entire family are incredible! This is our second time using them, and our second time not having to worry about leaving out babies while we go out of town. It’s that peace of mind that makes all the difference. I highly recommend them!”
About: If you are new to Rover, I encourage you to use my promo code KAYLAM49673 when booking with me to get $20 off your first service! I've always had dogs in my family growing up, which lead me to finding my passion in caring for animals. I have experience in giving pups medication, grooming, identifying illnesses, and body language thanks to my last job at a doggy daycare! I've been around and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes! I understand how important your furry family members are and will make sure they have everything they need (and make sure they have tons of fun of course!) I have experience with cats as well, having one of my own and taking care of our local strays. :) I have also owned many fish and am comfortable with any other pets you may have! I have respect and compassion for all animals and would love to provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently pursuing Rover full time so I have lots of flexibility. Let me know what your schedule is and I can be available whenever you need me! I understand the meaning of integrity and integrate it fully into my services. I will treat your home and your animals as if they were my own. The same goes for any pets boarding with me as they’ll be part of our family while they’re in my home. I can give them a safe environment where they feel loved and secure.
“Bridget was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and spoiled her just like I would. She sent pictures and kept me up to date on my dogs stay. I will certainly be rebooking the next time we go out of town!”
“Jacqueline and her family were absolutely wonderful. I have a senior dog and a puppy they were very well cared for and I had no worries whatsoever. She went above and beyond.”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”
“We never used rover before and were nervous about using it but I was shocked when I met her so caring and can really tell she truly loves animals fair pricing for two dogs I would absolutely recommend her for anyone if she has availability use her just meeting her will put your mind at ease and quick responses and pictures . Obi and aspen if they need boarding again I know who to text first !”
“Our Luna absolutely loved her time here! It was my first experience using this service and choosing yulian was the best decision for our pup! We got great updates and photos and felt like it was a home away from home for our sweet girl!”

About: I have raised dogs since as long as I can remember. I truly love having them around and making sure they have the absolute best stay with me. I personally know how frightening it can be to leave your pets with people you barely know, so I can assure you they will be in great hands. Thank you for reading through my profile and considering me to take care of your fur babies! I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to take care of pets full time. I am here 24/7! We typically do walks around my neighborhood at lunch time, then food and a treat. the rest of the time is usually just all playtime! I have a fur baby and he is the absolute most sweet playful baby ever! He likes to chill around most of the day but he does love to run around outside and inside with everyone. We have enough space for pets to roam around and outdoor space!
“I would give more stars if I could. I loved all the texts and fun pictures while I was away. Honey was loved and played with and had a wonderful time. Cheriese is amazing and I will definitely be turning to her when I need Honey cared for!”
“Wonderful communication! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Her dogs got along so well with our pup! He truly seems like he had the best time playing all weekend long! Cecelia sent us picture and video updates and responded super quickly anytime we wanted to check up on him. I HIGHLY recommend her and felt super comfortable leaving our puppy dog with her!”
“Merley took great care of my little, old Schnauzer. I got regular photos, videos and updates. And when I picked my dog up afterwards she was happy and relaxed. I immediately rebooked for our next trip. I’m so grateful to have found such a great dog sitter!”
“They were great with our unpotty trained puppy. They helped quite a bit and we are trying to rebook them again for another weekend trip a few weeks out. We hope to have our puppy on a better potty schedule by then and have no doubt that Daine and Ashley will keep up the routine. They are great.”

Kayla M.
Star Sitter
“Kayla is an excellent caregiver when she watched and walked our two dogs. One was a Jack Russel terrorist, Rosie. Actually Rosie was the best dog we have ever had, very smart, disciplined and obedient. The other was a Basenji, Baroo who was not so much. He also had to take medication for a seizure disorder. Kayla was excellent with them and they would get excited when they saw her. She would dog sit and house sit for a couple weeks at a time while we were on vacation. We knew they were very well cared for and loved. Kayla is very responsible and loved the dogs as if they were her own. The only regret that we have is that she moved away and we can no longer have her to love and care for the dogs.”
