“Stephanie took great care of our two senior pups! When we arrived home after 10 days, they were excited to see us, but weren’t frantic like they have been with other sitters. They were well cared for and received lots of snuggles.”

“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”


“Molly was great with our two dogs Doc and Harper! Honestly, I don’t have anything bad to say. I chose her based off a recommendation from my parents who she has done some house sitting with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy her company and our house was left in wonderful condition. Molly went above and beyond taking care of things at the house while my wife and I enjoyed our vacation! Our mail, packages, bed sheets, and even the dog poop was taken care of! Thanks Molly you rock!”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Christy is the BEST dog sitter we have ever used! Our quirky two basenjis are not the easiest dogs to care for and the almost one year old had a few potty accidents. Christy took it all in stride and never made us feel anything but supported and relaxed about our time away (first time leaving the young one). Her communication was excellent and both our pups fell in love with her immediately! She was so helpful with everything and we can’t say enough wonderful things about how well she cared for (and loved) our dogs.”

“It was awesome meeting Leanna, and I felt totally at ease leaving my pup in her care over Labor Day weekend. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Super professional, super responsive—any time I reached out, she got back to me within minutes, which really gave me peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Leanna, it was a great experience. I’d happily recommend her to friends and family. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Chris meet and exceeded my expectations. He took great care of my two girls and I could tell they were comforted by his presence when I received my photos. I was able to fully relax on my vacation and not worry about my puppers. I have experience with quite a few boarding and pet sitters and Chris has been the best. House was also well cared for and as clean as when I left it. Very respectful and reliable sitter.”

“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”

“Our second time booking Alyssa and it was just as great as the first. She’s so patient with our little rescue Chiweenie and will absolutely be our go-to sitter going forward. I’d give her 100 stars if I could. ❤️”

About: I have experience working with all sizes and manors of dogs. I have pet sat for years, and have cared for dogs, cats, fish, plants and more. I walk several reactive dogs back in California, one exceeding 50 pounds. I am excited to meet the dogs of the area!! I work most weekdays, but my afternoon and evenings are usually free. I usually don’t have plans on the weekends. I will begin school in the fall. I can walk the dogs, play ball or even just give them some pets. I usually can check up on them 2-3 times a day if pet sitting. If just walking, I try to gage the energy level, and adjust my walking distance and location accordingly.
“Lorna looked after my 2 boys while I was away for the weekend. She sent updates along with photos and videos to calm my nerves as this was the first time I’ve left them with anyone outside of family. Not only were my boys extremely well taken care of, but so was my home❤️ I most definitely will be using Lorna again in the future!!”

“Kelly was AMAZING. She stayed with our dog and 3 cats. This was our first time leaving our rescue dog while we went on vacation. She was so patient with our anxious pup, winning her over and making her feel comfortable. We highly recommend Kelly to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

“Aiden and Hunter took exceptional care of our fur babies- even winning over our shy cat and socially awkward pup! When we returned home, all three pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. This was a last minute booking and they immediately put us at ease with excellent communication and regular updates throughout their stay. They truly went above and beyond, even washing the linens on the guest bed before they left. They genuinely care about the animals they look after- we will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
About: I've grown up around dogs and taking care of them! I have experience delivering meds, taking multiple dogs on countless walks, and throwing a stick for hours on end! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am mostly available on weekends, and most weekdays in the afternoon. In home, your pets will be well taken-care of! I am happy to spend time in a backyard with some pups or go on walks!
“Rachel is amazing! Her calm nature and constant communication was our saving grace and hers, since our youngest dog had separation anxiety at first. I appreciate everything she did to help the dogs relax a trust her abilities.”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I am highly knowledgeable about dog care, behavior, and overall well-being. I have experience helping whelp puppies and have cared for and trained dogs throughout every stage of life, from puppies to seniors. I currently have a senior dog myself, giving me firsthand experience with the special attention older pets need. In addition to dogs, I have farm experience caring for horses, pigs, chickens, and other animals. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same love and attention I give my own animals. Let’s plan a day for me to come do a meet and greet :) I currently work full time, but I am transitioning to part-time in the near future to dedicate even more time to pet care. Until then, I am available on weekends and am committed to providing dependable, attentive care to every pet I look after. As my schedule becomes more flexible, I look forward to expanding my availability and spending even more time doing what I love most—caring for animals. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and I am dedicated to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free environment, caring for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand that many pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, and I am committed to maintaining their routines and giving them the individualized attention they deserve. With experience caring for animals of all ages, I am attentive, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and compassionate.

GG was amazing with Charlie. She sent me an update and pictures almost every day and Charlie looked happy and well taken care of. I just moved here from Colorado and had a Rover person there too. I feel very relieved and confident that Charlie will be well taken care of here as well. Thanks!!!!!
