“I would highly recommend Christina! She took such good care of my puppy who is about 60 pounds. He was able to run around in their yard and it looked like he had a lot of fun. I also had to travel during the stay and she was very flexible with drop off and pick up times.”

“Andrew was a great sitter! Sent lots of videos and photos and did an awesome job taking care of our pregnant dog! He helped her during labor, and took care of the puppies. He even bathed the mother, and got her treats.”


“Lynnette provided excellent care for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is very thorough and professional in her approach to care, and her home had a wonderful set up to make our dog's stay comfortable. Very quick response times on all communication and we received lot of updates and pictures to confirm he was having a good time. Highly recommend!”

“Tiff was more than amazing. I will be booking her from here on at. The environment is very clean and safe. She treated my baby pup with love. She keep me updated it was my first experience getting a sitter. She was beyond amazing. I’m so grateful I found her. ❤️”

“My Buddy had such an amazing time with Emily & Ryan and their 2 fur babies! They were so kind and accommodating when I had to bump the time up for our meet and greet. I believe we have found Buddy a new home away from home!!! Thanks again guys you are amazing and I can’t wait to bring him back :).”

“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”

“Pam watched our two boys for a week and I never once felt worried or uneasy about anything. She truly loved the boys like they were her own. We live in Illinois and made the hour and a half drive based on recommendations from my Mom! I would make that drive anytime that I know Pam is watching my babies.”

“Leandra did a great job taking care of Millie at my apartment. She was trustworthy and I could tell felt comfortable taking care of a rather anxious, but sweet little dog. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”

“Our pup Lilo had a great time at Sara's! She got to visit with other dogs and get lots of cuddles! I received updates every day along with pics and a few videos. It was so nice to hear how she was doing especially since she is so young and it was her first time away from us. We will definitely be choosing Sara again in the future!”


About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the home. When I was about 8 years old, I had my first dog-sitting job! -my dad may have helped a bit. Haha! Our neighbor had a golden retriever that I watched every Christmas break for years. Since then, I’ve been dog- and cat-sitting for many others. I have the most experience with large dogs, but honestly, they don’t seem “large” to me because growing up we always had a Lab mix or Poodle. So, they’re just normal-sized in my eyes. Now I have two black labs. Layla is 8 years old, and Halo is 4 years old. I have experience administering medication and maintaining a strict feeding schedule due to my dog Halo, who unfortunately has epilepsy and cannot miss a dose of her anti-seizure medication. I am currently a stay-at-home wife and dog mom. I have a very flexible schedule, and apart from the occasional appointment, I will likely be at home all day with the dogs! We have a fenced-in backyard it’s not huge, but it’s not tiny either. Our dogs are allowed on the couch and bed, but if you prefer them off the couch and bed, I can easily keep them all on the floor while they’re here. The house has two stories, but if your dog has difficulty climbing stairs, I can comfortably stay on the main floor. We enjoy cuddling, playing tug-of-war, and a bit of fetch around the house, but if your dog needs its own space, we have extra bedrooms that can be exclusively for them!
“Mathew and Migchalee were fantastic watching Rudy! Updates with photos/videos were given daily which helped ease any worries and concerns on how my pup was doing. They took very good care of him; wouldn’t hesitate using them again if needed!”

“We are very happy with the support and willingness Jeremiah gave my husband and me for our dog. He took Xabela in for us at night, sent us photos of Xabela every day, and agreed to give her back to us late at night. Xabela was very well cared for during the days we had her. We would definitely trust Jeremiah with our beloved Xabela again. Thank you for everything!”

Fnw dog parents share their Rover experiences
Andrew and his girlfriend took great care of my dog and made sure he felt welcome, their dog Jameson made sure that my dog, (who had never had interactions with other dogs) felt welcome and they played all over. I would trust Andrew and his girlfriend any other time they are great and caring people!
