“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”


“Rachel took amazing care of our puppy. His daycare visit was even better than I could wish for. Rachel really understands dogs and you can tell she takes the time to learn your dog’s behavior. She sent us so many pictures and videos. Hobbes can’t wait to go back and play with his new friends.”

“I just want to say Virginia (Joyce) and Pete were truly amazing and godsend. I had a sitter but she fell through twice which left me in a predicament and since I had to be at work. But finding them is amazing and I don’t have to worry about him. It’s like sending your kid off to daycare or school for the and I was extremely nervous however they have made this experience amazing and I will definitely highly recommend them.”


“This was my first time using Rover and it was such a great and smooth experience. Veronica is very prompt in her responses. My pup played with other dogs and was completely wiped out when he got home (which he rarely is). I also appreciate that she sent photos of him. I will definitely be using Veronica in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of every type of dog breed since I was a little girl, and I got into the pet professional care business right after college in 2010 and never looked back!!! I absolutely love this job. It fills up my cup and it’s very rewarding, as we help people live a worry-free life while we care for their dear animals. What could feel better than spending time with these sweet pets in nature and caring for them in the same manner as their own pet parents would?! I treat every pet like my own, it is my passion and means that much to me. 🐾🐾🐾♥️♥️ ♥️ I am currently available full-time, so I have plenty of time to visit pets during the week, and board over the weekend, and even do some overnights during the week or weekend as needed!! 🐾♥️ I care for these pets in the same manner that their pet parents would, following all instructions left for me, and making sure that there are no signs of allergies or any safety concerns at all times when with the animal. I also keep all lines of communication open, so that the pet parent is up-to-date with everything throughout my entire time the pet is under my care. ♥️🐾 I have been complimented about my due diligence and giving updates, being prompt, and always honest.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets all My life! Dogs have the most pure love and loyalty! They deserve the best care and im here for it! I always home! I live close to nice path and parks to walk dogs. My dog Perla loves to play with others dogs! A house full of dogs is a house full of love! Our family always have dogs/pets around so we are very careful leaving things around. We love walk the dogs and go to play since is important for the dogs health! Also on hot days I will make sure they get enough water and taking care of their paws!
“Kristi-Ann, Andrew and their pup Loki were so welcoming of my crazy mutt! They took him in like one of their own and have a great dog-friendly setup. Thanks for having him on a hot day—he had way more fun than staying at home!”

“Guojin was awesome from start to finish, they answered our booking request within minutes and were extremely responsive and communicative. I got tons of pics of my sweet dog and he looked so happy. Thank you for our last minute request”
“Joanna and John have been amazing with Peanut. I’ve been to many sitters around the area, in and out of rover, and I’ve never had a better experience than here. They are extremely friendly, super flexible, and will make sure your dog gets all the attention they need. They are very detail oriented to make sure my dog got the best experience and ensured that he will be very comfortable during his stay. Joanna kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and a breakdown of how he’s doing so far. She’s is also attentive and very responsive if I ever had any questions about how things were going. Another plus is that they have a very big yard for peanut to run around in. Joanna will take him outside multiple times a day to run around and makes sure he gets a lot of exercise. She makes sure to create a safe environment for all the dogs to play together as well. The house and yard are kept extremely clean everyday for the dogs, so I know I can feel comfortable every time I bring him over for daycare or to stay the night. All in all, I’m super happy I found them, Peanut has been having a blast. I will definitely be booking more stays with them in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend!”

About: I've owned dogs most of my life!. From newborns to seniors with different needs. I love their unique, resilient, playful and grateful personalities. Through the years I've helped mommas during labor, cared for newborn puppies (2 with cleft palate), cared for my sweet girl during her last weeks with cancer, I've cared for a wonderful blind dog over the years (I still do! He is a Poodle❤️), I've rescued a stray dog without knowing she was pregnant and took care of her and then made sure her puppies went to good homes. Having their company is like chocolate to my soul! Then unfortunately my son developed a dog allergy when he was little :( so we couldn't have a dog but lately he is been getting better allowing him to be around "hypoallergenic" dogs. This why we would love to care for your hypoallergenic doggies. 👩🙎♂️🙋♀️I am a stay at home mom who enjoys the company of dogs specially when my preteen and teen are in school. I'm ready to spoil them and go for walks or running with them. Once they get home they like to play with the pups and get to know their personalities. 🏡Our townhouse has a high fenced patio. The neighborhood has a dog park if that's what they like. Our area is quiet and safe to walk around. Starbucks is close by in case they are allowed a pup cup ;)
“Fantastic time for my pup! We learned she loves cats and now has a new best friend! My dog was having fun being chased around the house by a cat. Catherine was super flexible and very attentive to Cami as well as her whole family.”

“Joy and her family were so kind and accommodating for my last minute trip! Thank you Joy, and the fam, for your hospitality and generosity during Molly’s stay, she had a wonderful time! I am forever grateful you took great care of my fur baby.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. Growing up my family had a Dachshund — my first lesson in just how much personality a small dog can pack — and later a German Shepherd, who taught me that larger dogs need confidence, consistency, and genuine respect. I also spent years walking a neighbor's Irish Setter, which gave me an early appreciation for athletic, high-energy breeds that need real exercise and engagement, not just a quick lap around the block. Most recently I had a rescue dog I adopted when he was older and already managing some minor health issues. He later developed a heart condition that required daily medication — which I administered myself throughout his illness. Caring for him through that journey gave me hands-on experience with senior dog care, medical management, and the kind of patience and attentiveness that serious health conditions demand. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs for neighbors and friends — from drop-in visits to boarding them in my own home. My regulars have included a Westie who, despite the breed's famously stubborn reputation, spends most of his time demanding belly rubs and reminding me that Westies are really just cuddly dogs in a tough-dog costume. I have also cared for a Pit/Boxer mix who turned out to be one of the most docile, cuddly dogs I have ever had the pleasure of caring for — a reminder that reputation and reality are often two very different things. I judge dogs on who they are, not what breed they are. I also manage a regular medication routine for the Westie in my care. If your dog has a medication schedule, it will not be skipped, forgotten, or treated as an inconvenience. I am fully dedicated to pet care right now — home throughout the day, taking a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets real attention. Whether your dog needs a calm quiet environment, daily medication, or just someone who will truly enjoy their company all day — I am that person. I am home all day every day and fully available for pet care morning through evening. No day job, no busy schedule pulling me away. I follow each dog's individual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. Pet care is my full-time focus and I treat it that way. My home is calm, comfortable, and set up with your dog's happiness in mind. Every dog in my care gets out daily — just nearby is a beautiful park with a lake that makes for a perfect morning walk, along with plenty of neighborhood routes for dogs who love to explore and sniff every corner. Inside, dogs have comfortable resting areas and a relaxed, welcoming environment to settle right into. Your dog will never be cooped up or bored.
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”

“Christy is everything you would want your Rover host to be. Logistically she checked all the boxes living not too far from major highway I took to my office. Easy to drop off/pick up and get back on the highway again. She responded quickly when I made an inquiry about a weekly daycare hosting for my shy miniature poodle. She demonstrated kindness and patience when our Meet and Greet began later than scheduled. During his stay, Christy texted pictures of Blinky going on a long walk or playing in the backyard. Lovely family took very good care of him. On the second day, I dropped Blinky off, he rushed through the front door without looking back. To me that said a lot because Blinky was not a social butterfly by any stretch of imagination. I can whole heartily give Christy five stars, just for that alone!”

My fur baby, who is very anxious, has warmed up to Serena within 2 visits. It was such a relief to see her run up to Serena excitedly when I drop off her off. It's been great to see my baby have a great time. I appreciated the photo and video updates from Serena.
