“Great guy (was able to fit me in at the last minute). Good space. In an area that’s easy to let dogs out and about. Also, he made my princess feel special and she made some friends too!”
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
About: I have watched dogs for years. I took care of my dog when I lived at home (sadly she passed). I am super affectionate so there is no worry that they will be neglected. I love to run/walk with dogs as it makes me very happy! I am a very trustworthy person: many of my friends call on me to watch their dogs when they need help. I am very reliable and extremely punctual. From January to May I have plenty of flexible availability that we can discuss. During the summer my availability changes slightly, but I will always make lots of time for you pets. I am loving to the dogs, but firm when I need them to listen. I have never had a problem with any dog, no matter how big or small!
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs since birth, and love both immensely! I am a dog mom to two rescues, Pretzel and Ducky, who I adopted in 2017 and 2019. My clothes may always be hairy, and my face never dry, but my heart melts every time a pup lays their head in my lap. I have dog and cat sat for friends, neighbors, and relatives as an excuse to enjoy “bonus pets” for a few days. Plus, I’m well trained in the arts of tug of war, play fighting, squeaky toy retrieval, and “da bird” for the kitties. Pets are a beloved and irreplaceable part of a family. I will treat all animals like the fuzzy little treasures they are. I recently left my office job, and your pets will have my full attention. My only fixed commitments are less than two hours in duration, so I can work with your schedule. As a lifelong pet owner, I ensure all doors and windows are shut at all times, and have mastered the art of squeezing through narrow openings without letting out curious creatures. I am happy to comply with any instructions for your pet’s care to keep them safe- be it food restrictions, closing toilet seats or bathroom doors, toy access, harnesses, etc. I live on a quiet col de sac. There is a large yard with a four foot aluminum fence (affectionately referred to as “the gilded cage”) which has successfully contained my own resident escape artist, Pretzel.
“Jane was terrific! She sent adorable pictures and fun updates every morning and our dog clearly enjoyed his time with her. We will definitely try to book with her again in the future!”
“Ryan was a fantastic sitter for our Bailee. We felt very comfortable with leaving her with him and his family. I loved how he said “he was honored to keep her”. We would definitely use him again.”
“It was our first time using the Rover app and first time using Jennifer. She took care of my dog Macy very well and I'm very thankful. I plan on using Jennifer in the future”
“Matthew was amazing. I’ve only had Oakley for two weeks and am still getting to know his habits, on top of the fact that he is already 85 lbs, but none of that bothered Matthew. He sent daily pictures and confirmed that all was going well. He is very relaxed and Oakley got along very well with his three dogs. Matthew has a very large backyard and a 100’ lead that was great for Oakley since he loves to just lay outside. I highly recommend Matthew and will be using him again.”
“Nathan did a great job with our dog and was very caring, helping her through some thunderstorms and separation anxiety. He was very considerate from the first meeting and excellent at communication, which I super appreciate. We felt very comfortable leaving our sweet dog with him and would gladly book again!”
“Dion took great care of my dog! He had an excellent backyard for her to play in and I know she had lots of fun. Dion was also great at communicating quickly and efficiently, and was flexible when my travel plans changed last minute.”
“Alycia and Scott were great with our 2 dogs! The dogs seemed happy safe and comfortable in their home. We received pictures every day. Will definitely contact them in the future.”
“Karly was awesome! She took such good care of our dog Cleo, and kept us updated with photos and videos and was very easy to communicate with.”
“Hannah was very attentive to my dog Zee and sent pictures often. He was very well taken care of and had lots of opportunities to play and exercise. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
“We absolutely love nicole! Leaving my dog always causes me so much anxiety but nicole makes sure he’s taken care of and loved at all times. It’s like he’s on his own little vacation! We won’t be using anyone but her. Nicole, thank you so much for taking care of Bennie!”
“Stacy was so great to our Wali, and we would definitely book again! Really appreciated how thoughtful she was- from introducing him to the other dogs in the household, being flexible with drop off and pick up times, and sending so many pictures everyday! Thank you Stacy!!”
“RYAN is our super thorough dog boarding expert. Mavericks and Goose had a long stay over the week before and during another holiday weekend. We appreciate it very much!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great. We have a 12 1/2 year old lab named Hunter. They gave him so much attention. We received pictures and texts from them every few days. When we returned from our trip we could tell Hunter had received great care.”
“Rachel stepped in and helped me out after another Rover cancelled on me less than 24 hrs before my scheduled travel. I’m very appreciative - and fortunate! Rachel is a pro sitter - my greyhound was well taken care of and always had company (dogs & people). I highly recommend Rachel (and family) and will have Prince visit again.”
“Ginger took great care of my senior dog requiring injections and several meds as well as my rescue dog who doesn’t like most people. She provided daily updates so I knew they were doing okay. I was nervous about leaving both of them, but wouldn’t hesitate to ask Ginger to care for them again. Her dogs were great with them too.”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!

Becca H.
“Becca has taken care of mine and my wife's dog multiple times when we've gone on multiple day trips. With her being a close distance away from us, she made sure to not only walk, but check in and love our dog several times a day to ensure he is loved. Becca knows our dog has had a rough background and every time she's called upon, she goes out of her way to not only walk but love our dog with everything she has. You'd be hiring a real winner with her.”
Kathleen B.Star Sitter
“Katie has been absolutely wonderful with our dog, Nellie! From the very first visit, we could tell Nellie felt comfortable and loved in her care. Katie is attentive, kind, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Nellie always comes home happy and relaxed. She even sits outside Katie’s house whenever we walk by, hoping for a visit! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our pup.”
