“My dog Batman had a wonderful stay with Vanessa and Geoffrey. They have a great set up and were very attentive and loving towards my dog. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be booking again in the future!”

“Great sitter, took care of our pup while we were out of town. She sent picture and updates daily keeping us at ease that our Bailey was in good hands. Will use again for future trips.”

About: Hi, I’m Taylah! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12, helping raise Great Danes, a Husky, and puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and doggy day care. I also welcome holiday bookings—just send me a message! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I go on walks every day, so bringing a furry friend along is always a joy, not a task. Whether it’s morning strolls or evening wind-downs, I’m already active and outdoors, which makes it easy to give your dog the exercise and attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just a little extra love throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, dogs have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax, with plenty of room to play and nap. I follow their regular routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions—to make the transition smooth and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s comfort zone. I keep things consistent by sticking to your pet’s usual routine, offering companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well-cared for—whether they’re in my home or their own.
“Camila is so friendly & sweet! I know our golden retriever absolutely loved her and her family! I had a peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and had daily updates thanks to Camila! I would absolutely use Camila’s boarding service again. Thanks again, Camila!”


“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

“Jim took great care of our 9 1/2 y/o black lab mix. Alex has Cushing's Disease and drinks a lot of water. Then needs to go out a lot. Jim was very accepting of this. He provided lots of walks with Alex and time to explore the world. We were away one night and Jim provided multiple pictures of Alex out on walks and enjoying himself. Alex was very happy staying with Jim. We would not hesitate to use him again.”

“We love Traci! She’s become our go-to for boarding while we’re away. You can expect reliable and detailed communication with photos throughout your pups whole stay. We highly recommend her”

“Dayana and her family are wonderful sitter’s! They treat Bella like family and have given her the nickname “Queen Bella”’. Communication is great - I receive morning and evening updates with pictures and videos. I recommend Dayana/Sonia 100% and will be using them as my dog sitters going forward.”


“Heather was fantastic with our dogs and a pleasure to communicate with. She provided pictures daily and worked easily with us on the meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. We are so thankful to have found Heather and will definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't be happier with Seyla's pet sitting services. He provided multiple daily updates, including time-stamped videos and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our boys received plenty of exercise and were clearly well cared for—Seyla treated them as if they were his own. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with him again!”

“I just had my dogs at her house for this weekend. She was amazing. She picked up my dogs from my house and even dropped them off for me. She is very flexible and will work with you. She sent me pictures throughout the day without even me having to ask, which shows that she really cares. They were able to play outside in her yard with the other pups and she made my pups feel like they were home away from home. I highly recommend her, you will not regret it!! Look no further, Vanessa is your girl!!”

“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”

“I appreciate that my dog was cared for while I was away. I always worry about him when I have to leave him so I am happy that he was well taken care of. I will be rebooking again.”

“Just perfect. Michelle has a lovely home with a nice park and lake area in the backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Very safe area well away from roads. Michelle communicated very well, sent photos and updates, and was completely flexible with drop off and pickup times. Someone was home with my pup all the time and Zoey really seemed to love her stay with Michelle. Highly recommended.”

“The boarding went very smoothly! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and even with my late drop-off (completely my fault), everything was handled with patience and professionalism. I felt confident my two little rascals were in great hands!”

“Michael is a very friendly guy and a great sitter. Michael waited in front of his building to welcome Theo when I dropped him off and Michael took him to get a pup cup immediately which is Theo favorite thing to do. Overall, Theo really enjoyed his stay with Michael.”

Dumfries dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lei was absolutely AMAZING! She came to our home to meet our dogs, learn their routines and quirks, and connect on expectations. She had great questions that made me feel confident in her attention and commitment to caring for our dogs. Both pups came home so relaxed and ready for naps, which we appreciated after a long travel day. Lei provided a few updates while we were gone as well; which was appreciated. I cannot recommend a better sitter in the area, she will absolutely treat your pets like her own.

Sonia and Dayana took such amazing care of our pup, Nala, while we were away in Italy for a week. Leaving your dog behind for that long is never easy, but they made us feel completely comfortable from the start. They were so loving, attentive, and thoughtful with her, and it was obvious that Nala was happy and well cared for the entire time. We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and the genuine care they showed her. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. We are so grateful to both of them and would absolutely trust them with Nala again in the future. Highly recommend!

Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.

When the dog sitters are sad when you pick up your dog, you know your have the best sitters ever. Noelle was truly part of the family; on the couch, the children played and laid on her and Noelle protected the Elcy. I am soo happy with Elcy and family. Thank you!!!
