“Kim is great!! Both Milo and Daisy love her so much! So far, best sitter for my babies. Every time we needed someone to take care of them, she was available for us! As long as my babies are happy and loved, we are happy!”
“I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with Jackie. She kept me updated with photos and videos every day, and the dogs were very happy with her. I plan on booking with her again!”
“Ashley took great care of our husky, Cleo. We got so many pictures and videos which was really appreciated! Ashley was very communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely board Cleo with her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for doggie daycare and boarding in the area!”
“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“My dogs love staying at Miss Danielle's! She gives them lots of snuggles and playtime in the backyard. They always come home exhausted for about the next 24 hours after I bring them home! I'm glad we have someone we trust with our fur babys when we're out of town.”
“We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!”
“We can't say enough good things about Jackie and her family! Frank and Homer were in the best hands while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos, and both dogs were happy and tired when we got home. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of someone reliable and loving to care for their dog!”
“Dana is AMAZING!!! Skylar has such a fun time at her house and she made new friends. Dana sent us pictures and updates of our Skylar everyday which I loved to see. I would definitely refer her to everybody around and also will contact her again if we happen to need someone to watch Skylar again. Five stars!!!”
“We used Eric for 2 weeks of boarding when we were out of the country. We received daily communication and answers to our questions. He was wonderful with both dogs -- especially the new puppy. Highly recommend!”
“Miriam and Terrell treated LT like their own. I received tons of videos and pictures of him getting attention and snuggles. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Mera and her family gave my dog a wonderful and loving environment. She was responsive when I texted, and gave me updates with photos often. I look forward to having her watch my dog again in the future. She gave my mind at ease, knowing that my dog was in good hands.”
“June is wonderful! She gives us regular updates with photos. We always know our pup is in great hands and well taken care of. It’s so nice to know she has a comfortable and safe place to stay while we are away. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and I now have over 18 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets the same love and attention they would. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making every dog feel safe and happy. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. Also im at full time college student I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where animals can relax and feel safe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide lots of attention, and make sure they’re supervised at all times. I can also crate your dog if required.
“Katie was amazing she made us feel comfortable leaving Max with her beautiful family, she was always sending us pictures of him and letting us know how he was doing! I will definitely recommend her to take care of your Fur baby. Thank you so much 😊 i will gladly give her 1000 star ⭐️ review”
“Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.”
“Elena and her family were great. From the start at drop off, I could tell our pup would be treated like family. She was really good about keeping me updated on how things were going on a frequent basis. She sent us some great pictures and a few brief summaries of how the day went. Two weeks is a long time to take someone else’s dog for any reason but I’m really happy it was Elena and her family. Will try to use her again if they’re willing.”
“Susan and her husband were great pet sitters. Seth loved them and their property. She kept in contact with us for the time she had Seth with texts and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
