“Leaving our dog with a sitter through Rover for the first time was very nerve wracking but Joshua reassured us from the meet and greet to the very end of our vacation. He sent us updates everyday and communication was top tier. I would book with Joshua again. Highly recommend!”

“Donna and Roland were wonderful with our little Maisie. They clearly love dogs and cats and they were very understanding about the fact that Maisie gets anxious when separated from us. Maisie seemed to adapt quickly due to their kind attention. We will definitely contact them again!”

“We can't say enough great things about Kate and her time with our dog Genie. Kate was easy to communicate with and was so flexible in arranging pickup and drop-off. During the visit, Kate sent frequent updates and pictures, and Genie was obviously beaming in all of them - she clearly had a blast and got a ton of attention. We will definitely be using Kate again and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Mike and Linda took amazing care of our dog, Sunny!! She played in the yard, went on walks, and snuggled right up on the couch. We do not go away often so this experience was new to Sunny but they made her feel like she was at home. We are so grateful and will certainly request Mike again!!”

“Sadie and her husband took great care of our dog, Millie! She sent me many pictures of Millie making herself right at home in their home! Even texted me to ask if she could take her to the dog park. Millie loved her pups as well and we'll definitely be using Sadie again if we go away!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my heart my whole life. Growing up we always had a dog in the house, big or small. Fast forward to now, my partner and I have fostered almost 40 dogs in recent years. Since then, I have cared for dozens of local dogs that are reactive, anxious, high energy, you name it. Whether it be a puppy who needs constant attention or an older dog that is set in their ways, I have handled it. Your dog(s) will be in caring, assured hands with me. I will care for any breed of any age, size or temperament. I currently work as a local dog walker, boarder and groomer. I am also home quite a bit as well. This allows me to take your pup on an adventure with me during the day where they can go on pack walks, explore and sniff or they can chill in the yard if that is more their style. I am fully insured and certified in canine first aid and CPR, so your dog is always in safe, capable hands. My family dogs are friendly, laid back and always welcome to new friends. My home is set up with multiple boundaries to allow dogs to have quiet time when needed.
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”

About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.
“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”

My two dogs are also here to play and keep your dogs company. I have two dogs to keep your dog company and play. I also have an invisible fence so they can come in and out as needed.
“This was the first time I've had to use a dog sitter outside of my family/friend group, and I felt super comfortable leaving my small dog with Denise. She provided updates and took very good care of my baby. Would totally go with her again.”

“Cecelia is the best of the best! We truly have never had such exceptional care, service, flexibility, and attention for Clover before. She truly is the best sitter we’ve ever had. Clover was staying the week while we were away for our wedding. She was so accommodating asking about her routine, if clover would like special treats, and so much more that went above and beyond. We were a little hard to reach during our wedding weekend but she kept up with the greatest updates so we knew clover was in good hands. I can’t stress how much clover loved Cecelia and we did too! We hope Clover gets to stay with her multiple times in the future. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi, I’m Leah! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember, and I bring that same lifelong love and care into every visit, walk, or cuddle session. Whether it’s a long walk, playful games, feeding, or medication, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they do with you. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family, so I make communication and dependability my top priorities. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, and you can relax knowing they’re in capable, compassionate hands. Pet care isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time passion. I’ve dedicated my schedule entirely to caring for animals, which means your pets get my full attention, flexibility, and consistency every time. Experience: I've been immersed in the world of pet care since I was young, starting at the tender age of 5 when my cat Spooky had a litter of kittens. Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of caring for pets at every stage, fostering a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors.

“I couldn’t be happier with Bob and the care he gave to Hamilton over the weekend. I’m always nervous when trying a new dog sitter, but Rob was so fantastic and made me, and Hamilton, feel comfortable his entire stay. He sent plenty of pictures and Hamilton came back happy and well cared for. Hamilton will be back soon. Thanks again Bob!”

“Teddy had a great time with Nicole! We really appreciated the daily photo updates and felt very comfortable knowing that he was in good hands. We will definitely be rebooking with Nicole again.”

“Rebecca was great! She kept me posted on Piper the entire time and sent lots of pictures showing Piper having a great time and playing with her new friends. Piper seemed quite happy while there over the long holiday weekend.”
