“I absolutely love her and so does my buddies?... what I love the most was the constant communication, pictures, and videos during my fur baby stay. Will definitely be using her services from now on!”
“There is nothing more anxiety inducing to trying to find someone to watch your fur babies and love on them like you do. I am so fortunate to have found Amber on Rover to watch my two babies and have such peace of mind leaving them in her care. She is so attentive, communicative, and just overall an amazing human being. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dogs, really care for them and love them - look no further! I will be using Amber for all future puppy sitting needs and would gladly recommend her to anyone.”
“They are super a super sweet couple who were kind enough to step up on short notice after the sitter I initially hired had a family emergency. My dog enjoyed her time at their house and all the extra outside time and walks. They administered her medicine with zero issues. We got lots of great updates and photos while we were gone, too! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Our dog Steve had a great time with Julie-Ann. She took great care of him and sent at least one picture a day. I highly recommend Julie-Ann and her husband, and we will definitely try to use her again the next time we go out of town.”
“Katelyn was amazing! I left my dog with her for a whole month and she was very patient and loving to him. She took him on tons of walks and multiple activities. Would definitely use her again. My dog also got along great with her dog.”
“Miranda is amazing! She made sure Midnight well taken care of. I could tell how happy my dog when she was with Miranda. The pictures and videos of my dog always made me smile. I would definitely recommend! Definitely will be going back to her.”
About: I’m not just here to care for dogs, I’m also here to learn from them. I’m currently working on socializing my own dog, so I value every opportunity to observe and support good behavior, boundaries, and communication between dogs. I approach each pup with patience and curiosity, and I treat them like individuals with their own personalities and needs. Every experience helps me grow into a more attentive, well rounded caregiver. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally. I currently have a flexible part-time job that allows me to take breaks as needed, so I’m always able to check in and give attention to any dogs in my care. On top of that, my husband and I work opposite schedules, which means someone is always home; it’s a huge help in making sure dogs are never left alone for too long and always have a calm, present environment. In my home, I’ve created a safe and comfortable environment for pets with two designated floors just for them; our main floor and a fully furnished basement that acts like a large, cozy bedroom. This gives dogs plenty of space to play, relax, and feel at ease. I also have an extra kennel available if your dog prefers or needs a more secure space. I tailor the setup based on each dog’s personality and comfort level, whether they love to lounge in the sun, need quiet time, or enjoy a little more structure. My goal is to make them feel like part of the family while keeping routines and boundaries in mind.
“Stephanie & Sam took great care of our Axe. This was our first time using Rover & we felt secure on our 1 week trip, even with the Temps at minus 50° for the week. Coordinating was easy, Axe was loved and played with, their other 2 dogs were great company, we received a few updates without feeling pestered, and we would certainly use Stephanie again.”

“Annie was the perfect person to leave our one year old husky mix with!!! We came up to town for a race and left our dog with her 7am-5pm.
