“Michele is a wonderful dog-sitter! She is very knowledgeable about dogs. We met in advance of my dog’s stay so Michele could ensure compatibility and understand his needs and routine. My dog has separation anxiety, and Michele was extremely caring and accommodating. She sends photos and messages frequently. This was my first experience using Rover, and I have booked another sitting with her for May 2026. Thank you, Mickey!”
“Leaving our dog, Mazie with Sandee gives us total peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us multiple updates and photos daily. It is comforting to see how happy and relaxed Mazie is in her care. We always return to a happy, healthy dog and feel completely confident that everything is taken care of. We're very grateful that we have found her and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and experienced sitter.”
“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”
“Kelly was wonderful and sent pictures throughout the day. We so appreciate her diligence in helping us with our dogs. One of our dogs requires daily medicine and an ointment. Kelly didn’t seem to have an issue with it and took wonderful care.”
“Brenda is a wonderful dog sitter. She loves animals and it is evident in everything she does from walking the dogs to watching them in their play yard through she and her children making doggie treats for her pets as well as yours. I am almost anxious to go out of town again just so Beauty can go back to visit. Brenda and her family were great.”
“When our flights got canceled, delaying our return home by a day, Eric was incredibly generous and offered to continue watching Pepper. It feels as though Pepper is incorporated into the family and Eric always has Pepper’s best interests at heart. He will continue to be our first pick for dog sitters on Rover.”
“Jermaine was so accommodating for me as I book him for a last-minute work trip. Text me pictures and update as I was on my busy trip thinking of my baby girl. Definitely will utilize his services again.”
“Alexa was the BEST! She went above and beyond my expectations. She constantly kept me updated, sending pictures and updates about my dog, Benny, throughout the day. She was born for this job and excels at it. She has a true love for your pet and treats them as her own. I would trust her with any of my pets and will definitely be using her in the future. She is wonderful and I couldn't recommend her more!!”

Fabulous references to attest to my quality care. Contact me for a free consult. I look forward to adding you to the Animal Lovers family! I accept dogs that are friendly to all dogs and humans. No aggressive behaviors. I also can only accept potty trained dogs. I can administer medications and only work outside the home part-time so can easily provide potty breaks and walks every 4 hours.

“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“We moved to the area recently and searched for a new pet sitter. My husband and I could not be anymore happier with the care Karen and Sean provided to our Molly! Our Molly felt right at home on her first stay. Karen and Sean took Molly on walks and gave her plenty of playtime. Definitely will be using Karen again in the future ❤️”
“Libby was great with Chloe! We got pictures and updates regularly and Chloe even and a hat and scarf in some pictures! Huge fenced in yard to run around in! Lots of love and attention! Definitely will use Libby again!”
“We left Meadow - our 6 month old rescue - with Brooke for two weeks. Brooke was reliable, clearly skilled with all sorts of dogs, and was a great friend to meadow during our summer vacation. The supervised exposure to other dogs under Brooke’s care was really great for Meadow’s social skills too! Endorse without reservation and will use Brooke again for sure next time we are in area.”
“My 3 yr old red lab was totally comfortable and at home with Bob & Susan. There were great with pre-visit info as well as ongoing communication during her stay. I’ll definately be bringing her back!”
