“Joni was wonderful with Violet. It was the first time she had ever stayed anywhere besides Home and I felt very comfortable leaving her there. You can definitely tell that Joni‘s heart is in this and that she loves the pooches thank you Joni. I will definitely use her again.”
“Toni watched our two dogs over the Fourth of July weekend. One of ours is easygoing, but the other has fear aggression and did not do well with the fireworks. Toni gave him tons of love and extra attention and he eventually warmed up to her! Words cannot describe how much we appreciated that! Thank you, Toni, for being so understanding and patient.”
“Our dog, Darla, had such a good time! Marty sent me wonderful updates including pictures, which is always so great. She is warm, sweet and accommodating, we will be using her from now on! Thank you Marty and family ❤️”
“Love Fay, what a wonderful dog sitter, I’d trust Fay with my kids if I had any small children anymore. Fay was very caring, sent me photos around the clock of my dog’s activities which included long walks, napping, making friends with Fay’s dog. It was nice my dog Bao had a friend for a while in her care. I’d rebook with Fay in a heartbeat. Wonderful person.”
“Victoria and Rishi are incredible! Leon took a liking to them immediately and felt like staying with them was his second home away! Leon was always happy when I picked him up and actually didn’t want to leave 😂. I know that Leon is safe and happy in their hands. If you are type of person that likes to be communicated with frequently about your pup, you can text them and they will give you an update.”
“Sara was amazing! Super friendly, great to work with, and our doggie was so well taken care of! Frequent updates with photos. Excellent experience. Highly recommend!!! She (and her adorable kids) are now our go-to dog sitters! 😁”
“Paige gets a 10 out of 5 stars from us! We were nervous about leaving our spunky puppy with anyone during our trip, and Paige was extraordinary. She and Decky were loving and took such great care of Maisy. Her care gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our travels. She sent us so many photos and went above and beyond what we asked carewise. THANK YOU!!”
“Kasey was an excellent choice for watching our puppy, Rocky. She provided regular updates throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. When we returned, Rock was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Kasey for pet sitting!”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“Boji had yet another great time. He's super happy and ready to sleep the night away! Definitely book with him! They are the best out there and the most flexible!!”
“Ellen was absolutely amazing and so flexible when I asked to change my pickup time. She’s so sweet and was intentional to send me photos of my pups throughout their stay!!”
“Our energetic girl had a great 3-night stay with Cari. She was well cared for and enjoyed herself tremendously! Cari sent updates/pictures several times a day, which was reassuring, especially since it was our first time using Rover. We recommend Cari highly!”
“Hayley has watched my puppers before and Iroh always comes back happy and suckered out from playing with her two dogs. He loves it there. Hayley is also so kind, working with me on a new pickup time when my original pickup time proved difficult. Thanks for the flexibility, Hayley!”
“If you are looking for someone to take care of ur little baby just like the way you do at home, Mariah and Max are the ones!! They took such excellent care of Jorge while we went on vacation and Jorge had an absolute awesome time with their dog tucker! They also did an awesome job sending us pictures and updates!! You know that they had a good time when they are sad leaving the sitters and that was def Jorge! Will def visit again!”
“Holly is great!! We would give her 10 stars! Bear had never been away from us, he had a couple of rough night at first. But Holly was right there helping him, keeping us informed. Holly sent us pictures sometimes twice a day!! That helped us, because we missed him so very much. We knew he was having so much fun in her big fenced in area and going on walks to the library (where Bear had some friends he could see). We are definitely go to use Holly again IF WE ever leave Bear Again! We totally recommend Holly, actually I already have!”
“I had a great experience with Bre as my dog sitter. When I picked up Nola, she was happy to see me, but what really stood out was that Nola wanted to go back into Bre’s house—showing just how comfortable and cared for she felt. Bre is incredibly friendly and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I felt confident leaving Nola in her care, and I would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Chris was a great dog sitter. Copper had a great time with all the cuddles he got, and Chris sent pictures a couple of times. Would definitely use Chris and his family to watch my dog anytime.”
About: Hello! I’m a passionate, aspiring dog trainer with a special love for German Shepherds. I recently raised a litter of puppies, which deepened my understanding of early puppy development and the importance of critical socialization. That experience sparked a stronger interest in training and caring for dogs during their most impressionable stages and beyond. I’m currently expanding my hands-on experience and would love the opportunity to care for your dog—whether it’s through boarding, walks, or helping with basic training and structure. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each dog’s unique needs. Whether you have a playful pup or a more mature dog, I’m here to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment. Let’s give your dog a happy, enriching experience! I’m currently doing pet care full time with aspirations of starting my very own dog training program one day. I’m soaking up all of the experience I can get right now. My backyard is secured by a 6ft wooden privacy fence and features a 900sqft barn which has multiple crates for dogs of all sizes. My house is dog friendly as well being completely puppy proofed.
