Megan and Nick were phenomenal! Lola felt right at home with their family and Bubba, their dog. They were responsive and sent my partner and I daily photo updates of our girl. I was afraid Lola wouldn’t want to leave come pick up because she was oh so loved and entertained during her stay with them. We found our trusted sitter family!

About: I am American Red Cross First Aid Certified I am insured & offer weekend and some weekly pup play & stay. Your fur baby will enjoy a loving home environment with supervised playtime, cuddles, attention, and a safe place to relax while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and provide regular updates so you can feel comfortable and connected during their stay. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have a calm, comfortable environment with lots of companionship. I’m available most weekends for boarding, daycare, and play stays. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, walks, cuddles, and rest throughout the day to help your pup feel safe and at home. I have two friendly toy poodles and a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Dogs in my care can roam freely throughout the house and enjoy a calm, loving environment. I also understand some dogs prefer their own space, so I’m happy to provide separate quiet time away from my pups when needed.

First time using Rover since I needed a last minute sitter for my dog, Luna. Conner made himself available for a meet and greet on short notice and Luna had a positive connection from the beginning. He provided daily updates with pictures / videos which helped keep my mind at ease. Will definitely be rebooking with Connor if Luna needs a sitter again and recommend him to others

About: With experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s energetic play, calm companionship, or following a specific routine. I make space in my life for animal care, not just fit it in, and I always take time to learn about a pet’s favorite activities, schedule, and temperament to ensure they feel safe, understood, and loved. I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.

Lucas and Katherine were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bentley. This was the second time they cared for him, and once again they exceeded our expectations. They kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bentley experienced a minor tummy issue during his stay, and they were incredibly attentive, caring, and proactive in making sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They also showed great flexibility and understanding when our travel schedule shifted, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that they genuinely love and care for the pets they watch. We felt completely confident that Bentley was in great hands. We highly recommend Lucas and Katherine to anyone looking for trustworthy, communicative, and compassionate pet sitters. We will absolutely be booking with them again in the future!

Happy and relieved to have found our new go-to dog-sitter!! Ashley was so kind and loving toward our girl, Piper. She brought her into her home as if she was one of her own. She is very conscientious and has lots of little things in place to ensure your dog is comfortable and safe. I really appreciated all of the pictures and videos she sent so we could see that our girl was happy and loving life at Ashley’s house. We will definitely be using her for boarding going forward!

Could not recommend nor say enough nice things about Caren. Our dog Bailey stayed with her — she went above and beyond to make us and Bailey comfortable prior to the stay, and during sent updates daily with photos and assured Baileys comfort. We also had a family emergency during the stay and Caren was so sweet and accommodating. Would certainly recommend to anyone, and will be staying again in the future. Thanks Caren!
