“Ruby and her facilities are amazing! This was definitely the easiest hand off I’ve ever had. No look of panic on my dog’s face. She literally just walked away with Ruby seconds after meeting her without looking back. My dog is a little clingy and prone to pouting when left somewhere, and judging by the snapchats Ruby sent she did plenty of that. However, even she eventually had a little fun and socialized towards the end. Great time for dogs to play together in large settings. Thanks Ruby!”


“Ellen was wonderful! She sent pictures and videos of Twyla having a spectacular time. It was so nice to know someone was looking after her and treated her as one of her own. We will definitely be booking with Ellen again in the future!”


“David was/is amazing! Why? He was responsive and accommodating. His extensive knowledge of dogs was clear when we met him - we knew our pups were in good hands. We received daily updates and in each photo the dogs looked like they were having the time of their lives and/or taking a nap on David’s lap 😂. We live downtown Madison and I could tell our pups enjoyed the beautiful country property as they came back tired and content! As a former Rover, I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a sitter. 10/10!!”


“Emma is amazing with Angus! People generally don’t like to watch him because he’s a large breed. She treats him like family and always goes above and beyond what you would want for your fur baby. Highly recommend her.”


“Courtney was wonderful. Dasher just chilled and while we were enjoying time at a wedding intown we were sure he was completely safe and taken care if while we had a great time with friends and family.”


“Paige S. was an excellent babysitter for my Babycat. My Babycat is all that I have in this world and I would trust Paige S. with my Babycat anytime. After communicating and speaking to Paige on the phone, I realized that Paige was a true animal lover like myself. It was then I booked with her to board my Babycat while I had to go to the hospital for 2 nights. During my stay at the hospital, Paige answered text and even sent pictures of my Babycat to reassure me. She also helped load and unload Babycat in her carrier, as I am dealing with a handicap.This is how Paige takes excellent care of animals and their humans ! Thank you to Rover for having respectable, professional and loving caregivers like Paige S.! Thank you very much to Paige S. for all your care and extra help with my Babycat! Raul "Dan" Ornelas”


“Michael was so easy to book with..he was very accommodating despite the last minute need for a sitter for my fur baby. Sent photo updates and responded promptly. Definitely will be on my list for a sitter when I travel in that area. Thank you!!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with 2 husky mixes and 3 cats in my childhood home and I currently have 1 cattle dog and 2 cats. I also had the pleasure of house sitting for a few families consistently while they were away on vacations. I work early mornings so I have plenty of the daylight to spend time with your dogs! I’m available after 1pm to do daily walks, checks ins, and will have hours available for boarding. I have a fully fenced in yard and a 2 year old cattle dog that loves to make friends and play but also understands boundaries. I have a cat as well but I have a two story house so she can be separated from your dog if need be! I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. I am very flexible and accommodating to whatever your fur baby needs to feel comfortable and safe.

“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”


“Oh my gosh! Both my dog Pela and I LOVED Jenny! 😍 She was personable and professional every step of the way! I can't think of anything that could have gone better. Jenny is just the best!”



“Michelle was great! She texted updates, photos, and videos every night during their stay. The girls were so tired when they got home after a weekend at Michelle's. I'm pretty sure they had a blast, eating up all of the attention and time with other dogs. We can't thank Michelle enough! They will definitely be back any time we have travel plans in the future.”


“Was incredibly nervous to leave my dog not knowing how she would react to being in a strange place but she seemed to thrive here. I appreciate Katelynn making her feel comfortable and welcome! I will most definitely be using her services again and she definitely gets recommendations to all my friends!”


“Kota took on my 13 week old puppy and I am so pleased with how well my puppy did at her home! Kota snuggled and loved and cared for her like she was her own! She communicated daily and sent the cutest pictures! I give my highest recommendation to her! So much better than a kennel when you need boarding! Your pet will be welcomed into their home and treated like a family member!”


“Kayla was fantastic with communication during Hudson and Nadia's visit. It was our first time leaving home together since moving to WA state, and had trouble finding a trusted sitter. We will be using Kayla and Jason again in the future for our sitting needs. :)”


“Absolutely perfect people to watch our dog on such short notice and sent pictures of our dog during the week that we were gone felt like we left our dog with family thank you guys so much”


“Sophia was a Christmas blessing! This was the perfect stay for our very energetic young dog, Noah. They were very welcoming and it was like Noah became part of their family for Christmas. It was a comfort to know that she was conscious and responsive to Noah’s wellbeing and quirks. He got along great with the two household dogs and loved being with her kids. Although he did not get along with the rabbits, Sophia was accommodating by keeping the rabbits in a separate room. We also really enjoyed the frequent pictures and video updates. Because we were traveling and not certain of our arrival Sophia was able to stay flexible and work with us on our drop off/pick up. We would definitely recommend her and her family.”


“We're so happy to have met Donna and she totally spoiled our Stella while taking care of her! Donna was great with communication, sent lots of pictures, and happy to do a meet and greet before Stella's stay. We'd definitely have her take care of Stella again.”

Kaitlyn M.
“Kaitlyn is a fantastic pet parent. And would make an even better pet sitter. I’ve known Kaitlyn over 10 years now, and one of the very first things I learned about her was her love for all animals. Whether her own, mine or a random strangers off the street. She has 2 cats and more recently, adopted the sweetest dog, all of whom she places needs before her own. She spends hours training her dog with the patience of a saint and yhe utmost love. Which is no surprise because she treats all animals like they are her own. She is always more excited to see my pets than she is me. She is a pet lover through and through. The amount of love, time and effort she puts into animal care is completely unmatched. Kaitlyn also finds staying up to date with vaccines, annual bet visits and exercise of great importance. Finally, Kaitlyn truly believes that pets are a part of our lives for such a short time, they deserve all of the love, kindness and attention. Because of these traits, i know Kaitlyn would make absolute best pet sitter for anyone, putting their pets needs above all else.”
