“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”

“Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!”
“Shea was wonderful, she watched my dog in my house and took good care of the house and my dog. She was also able to accommodate a day of last minute holiday weekend booking and made the boarding work with her schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay and I would definetly recommend her and use her again!”

“I know that my girls are happy that I am home. However I swear they keep running to the door looking for Rebecca. This makes me very happy. All 6 of our "kids" are happy and were well cared for. We have officially adopted Rebecca. So happy we tried Rover and found her!”
“Ryan was an absolute awesome sitter for our little Luna. He was very accommodating and came a little early per our request to bond with Luna and give her time to feel comfortable around him. She seemed very comfortable and happy and wanting to play. Ryan was very respectful and helped also keep things tidy , bringing in our packages and mail. We definitely will book with Ryan again for our next trip.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.
“Celeste's communication while we were away was fantastic! It felt like she really understood how important our pets are to us and kept us updated to date! We came home to happy pets and a clean house.”


About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have raised chickens, goats, pigs, cows, and so much more! I have experience with all types of pet care! I am a collegiate swimmer at home for the summer. I will have some practices mostly in the morning, sometimes in the evening. I will have lots of time to take care of your pets and be available when needed! I have a yard with two other fun pups where they have lots of space to play in. I will make sure to let your pet out where you prefer and do what is most comfortable for them!
“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”

“Jen has been so kind to our two animals. She has been great with their special needs of pilling and monitored feeding. When I returned home after my dog and cat spending a week with Jen, they were happy and healthy. 10/10 I will rebook with Jen.”

“Karen is phenomenal! She took such great care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. She provided us with fantastic communication, very trustworthy, kind and fantastic with pets! We highly recommended Karen 😁”


“Amanda stepped in at the last minute to assist with my cat sitting while I was out of the country for almost two weeks. Extremely grateful for her help with this! She sent video and a quick synopsis of the cats every day which was very comforting!”


About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.
“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”


“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”

“James did an amazing job taking care of our dog Lois. We got multiple updates every day and lots of photos. It was great to have James stay over and give her all the usual care we give and think she really appreciated the one-on-one attention he was able to give her! We'd highly recommend James for anyone in need of a pet sitter”

“Jenna did a great job communicating while taking care of our dogs! It was clear she spent a lot of her time with them making sure they were comfortable while we were on vacation. Would definitely recommend her to dog sit!”

We are so glad we found Julia & Eric. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, and we always felt informed and reassured. Loved all of the photos & video updates. Knowing Gracie was in good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Will definitely be booking with them again!

Jessica is an amazing pet sitter. I have booked her twice now and she goes above and beyond, communicates well and regularly, and somehow leaves my home cleaner than when she arrived. 😂 She sends photos and videos often, and somehow it is always right when I’m thinking about my sweet kitty. I am very anxious when leaving my ragdoll and have felt super comfortable knowing she is with Jessica. Your pet is definitely in great hands with her!

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.

This was an outstanding experience! Liz took the time to meet our pets before we made our decision, which gave us peace of mind. Her experience and education in animal care are evident, and she has a natural affinity for animals. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with regular videos and photos, ensuring we were always informed. We returned to a perfectly clean house…trash taken out, beds stripped, and more. We will definitely book with Liz again as soon as possible!

This is our second time booking with Leah and she is fantastic! She stayed over during our wedding weekend and a few days before one of our little guys hurt his back leg. She kept an eye on him while keeping us updated. Very responsible, great at communicating, left the house clean, 10/10 :)

We had a great experience with Olivia our house sitter over Easter weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. It was clear the dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in her car. I’d highly recommend Olivia
