“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”

“Michelle did a terrific job for MIllie and myself. Both Millie and myself were experiencing separation anxiety, and Michelle did a great job for both of us.. Lots of photos and email dialogue reassuring my wife and I that Millie was doing fine. Truthfully, I think Millie missed being there and took a little time readjusting to being home. Will definitely try and book Michelle when we back in Florida next year.”

“I really appreciated Stephanie and Elizabeth's kindness and patience with our dog, Penny, who has a hard time adjusting to new people and places. They sent photos/videos and updates each day of Penny's stay, and also gave her meds successfully. Thanks so much for taking care of our girl!”

“My dog is super high anxiety and he was so calm around Lisbeth on the scariest day of the year (4th of July). Normally we can’t leave Richie home alone because of his separation anxiety but with it being the 4th of July, he definitely couldn’t be alone as he is terrified of fireworks. Lisbeth was great and has such a calming energy about her that she was able to keep Richie chill all night long. I would recommend her to literally anyone. She’s great with animals; they just love her and you can tell and she loves them too!!”

“Kym & Glen kept our 7yr old mini schnauzer for 3+ days while we traveled for family! As soon as I met Kym, I felt very comfortable and knew he would be well taken care of! & he was!!! They even let him sleep with them!! Additionally, they are very responsive & send many photos! 10/10 & would recommend! :-)”

“My dog stayed with Karlee for 4 nights recently and he had such a great time! She brought him on multiple adventures including the beach and made sure to send many pics and update me daily. I would highly recommend Karlee for dog watching and sitting!”

“Our dog spent the weekend with Janette, and we couldn't have found a better 'home away from home' for her. This is an oasis for any dog: a large, fenced yard provides plenty of room for exercise and entertainment, and her dog is great company for visiting canines. This is a true pet paradise, and we'll be recommending Janette's pet-sitting services to our friends. ”

“Eve was outstanding! She pampered our Ginger more than we’re do including letting her sleep in her bed! She’s the first non-family dog sitter we had, and will be happy to use her again.”

“Ranae is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat client. She was very good at making sure our baby was comfortable and happy. She also checked in with me at least once per day, with photos, to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her.”

“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”

“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”


“My mini schnauzer, Greta, had a great time at the Christmas holiday and had so much fun with Olga's two little 4 legged pals. She even came home with a little reindeer toy and pictures of her stay. How thoughtful! I will definitely bring her back the next time I go out of town.”

“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”

“Charlie is the absolute best!! My Piper was right at home and I got so many updates and photos. He was flexible and played with her so much She came back home nice and tired. The best feeling after traveling. Highly recommend Charlie!”

“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”


About: I grew up with two large breed dogs in the home at all times since i was born. I spent a couple years volunteering at PAWS Adoption Center in St. George, Utah and have experience with all kinds of pups: Big, small, old, young, fluffy, stinky. Bring it on! I currently own no pets and love animals. I'd love to give your pets some extra lovin while you're away! I work monday-friday during the day for 8 hours but have the ability to come home during lunch time for check ins, potty breaks, etc. I am free on weekends all day. My pets have always been family to me and your pets will be treated exactly the same. I am on this app because i love animals want as much of them in my life as possible. I'm extremely patient, attentive, and able to adapt your pets specific needs. I have experience as an in-house pet sitter as well and in my own home so this is familiar work for me.
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”


“Akira had a wonderful time with Abigail. I got lots of pictures and videos whilst Akiras was there. She was immediately super comfortable and catered to. Akira will definitely be coming back 😊”
