“Brooke and her loving family gave my Papillons (Gracie and Yoshi) 24/7 care! Brooke sent photos and updates on their well being, which gave me a peace of mind while on my trip! I highly recommend her if you have upcoming travel plans or just need a wonderful sitter to complete projects around the house.”

“The pups had another outstanding stay with Lindy. This is definitely a second home to them. She provide clear communication and made sure I knew how our fur babies were doing every day.”

“100% Recommended, Victor is a Five-Star 5️⃣ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Dog Boarding place with excellent service and location. He always kept me informed about my pet by constantly sending me pictures. My dog enjoyed playing with other dogs.”

“My dog has high anxiety with people he doesn’t know. I’ve tried a lot of options for his care without much peace of mind. I decided to try in-home care with Heather. She sent photos and videos everyday my boy looked so happy! She was organized and a great communicator. I trust her. Finally, peace of mind!”

“So glad I found Bri - from the first visit, I knew I would feel 100% comfortable leaving my girls in her care while I'm out of town. She's fantastic, takes her role as caregiver very seriously, and I cannot say enough good things about how well she cares for my dogs. Can I leave more than 5 stars?!?”
“Blake had a great stay at Annie's. He was excited to be with her and so comfortable throughout his stay. Annie sent happy pictures throughout. Great peace of mind tha Blake was so well cared for.”

“The best. Gave my furbabies lots of lovies and snuggles. I got lots of pictures and texts to let me know that they were just fine. After 8 days they came home happy and content. I got to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. Awesome 🤩 ❤️”

About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!

“Taylor did a great job with our Old English Bully. Our Luna is a high energy unique Bully and Taylor was able to keep up! Taylor has great communication and she is mindful about the dogs needs and behaviors. Luna had a great time and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away.”

“What a blessing to have found Kimmie!!! I was super anxious about leaving my little girl Emma...I am hardly ever without her!!! But Kimmie really put our minds at ease from the very first time we met and all through Emma's stay. We got lot's of updates and pictures, which made us feel so good. We were looking forward to "Emma and Kimmie texts" :) Kimmie really took care of Emma as if she was her own and I'm sure that my little princess was spoiled and loved on the whole time, including lots of play, walks and snuggles :) Kimmie will be our sitter for any future needs...no doubt about that!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our little girl <3”

“Absolutely awesome caretaker of our English Bulldog. She was attentive and communicated some health concerns that's may have led to more serious issues. We are so thankful to have found Isabella on Rover. She may have helped save our dog! She sent pictures, and kept us updated throughout the visit to the vet I recommend 5 stars!”
