“Abigail was very friendly and responsive. She also was willing to do anything that would help our dogs while she was at our home (dog medication, staying longer, etc).”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend sitter for my dog, Wonka! Jordan is very detailed-oriented, did a great job following all of my directions for medication administration and potty breaks needed for Wonka’s medical condition, and provided frequent updates which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog, who is usually skeptical around new people, also warmed up to her quickly, and before long they were the best of friends! I won’t hesitate to use Jordan as a sitter again!”


“Ana is very responsive, and during her stay, communicated daily with pictures. She also arrived on time and even offered to stay longer, if needed. I came home to happy babies and a clean house. She was also very intentional at leaving some lights on so we would not come home to a dark house. I would absolutely hire Ana again for future services and would highly recommend her if anyone is looking for trustworthy sitter.”


About: Hi, I’m Laura, a dedicated pet lover and experienced dog caretaker. I’ve had dogs my entire life; and I started Rover-ing after my heart dog, Pepper, a special-needs pup with EPI, crossed the rainbow bridge after 14 years together. My years of caring for pets have taught me patience, compassion, and the joy of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with daily medications, special diets, and keeping up with clever, determined dogs who will do just about anything for a treat! I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet with someone new, so I pride myself in giving the kinds of daily updates that I wanted to see as an owner. I am canine First Aid & CPR certified and outfit every dog that boards with me with an AirTag for the length of their stay I understand most animals thrive on a set schedule and working remotely gives me the freedom to adjust my schedule to match what they are used to with you at home. I’m a runner and like to start my day early with some exercise to beat the heat. If you’ve got a high-energy pup that needs to blow off some steam, I’d love to have them join me! If a walk is more their speed, we can do that too; or if it’s too hot, I can always hit the treadmill while they sleep in. My work allows me to take frequent breaks so you’ll likely get some update pics mid-morning or early afternoon of your pet playing. Maybe some fetch in the backyard, a quick stroll through the neighborhood, a play session inside, or a treat puzzle. After work, I like to go for a walk before prepping dinner; and then relax on the couch until bedtime. Whether your furry friend needs structured exercise or cozy companionship, I’m here to make them feel at home. When boarding, I like to provide a home-like environment more than a kennel or doggy daycare. When I agree to care for your pet, I treat them like they are part of my family, not a client. That means I bring them with me whenever I can, we work on training, they get treats for being good (and for just being cute!), they get brushed, and most importantly - loved, and snuggled like they would at home. I never take on more than one boarding family at a time; limit my daycare slots to 2 dogs, so I can give my full attention to your animals. I always keep pets separate during feedings for safety. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, my calendar is blocked off for only them. I won’t be leaving for long stretches to care for other animals, or to go to an office. My main goal, outside of the health and safety of your baby, is to have your pet think of me and our time together like a fun vacation. When it comes to. health and safety, I am canine CPR-certified and have independent pet sitter insurance; so in the event of an emergency, I am as prepared as possible.

“Rhoda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond and by the pictures she sent I could tell my cat was enjoying his “vacation” as well. I will definitely be booking her for future sittings! Thank you, Rhoda!”


“Michele was great. I was a little nervous because Angel just lost his brother and is having separation anxiety. She was very good with him ans stayed and comforted him. We will definitely use her again.”


“Jennifer was amazing! Very thorough updates and always sent pictures. I could tell my cat was very happy with her as well. Would definitely re-book in the future. Thank you, Jennifer!”


“Madison is always so responsible and reliable. She keeps me updated with photos and is always eager to help with anything necessary. We had a major trip planned and it got cancelled and she was great about being flexible with us as we tried to make it back home. We have booked her several times - sometimes for long trips - and I never have to worry about my 3 senior dogs. Definitely recommend!”

“Michael is amazing with animals- I really can’t put into words just how helpful he has been in watching over my new family member, Shadow. He sends me photos and updates, and actually helps me beyond standard sitting by also giving me great training tips. I highly recommend him!”


About: Hello there! I’m Sai, and I’m absolutely pawsitively thrilled to be your go-to pet sitter. 🐶🐱 Growing up surrounded by wagging tails and fuzzy whiskers, I’ve developed a deep love for all things furry. Dogs, cats, hamsters—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it. I am currently studying. I’ve got a heart full of love and a schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your beloved pets. So, whether your fur baby needs a midday cuddle or an emergency treat stash replenished, you can count on me! 🐾 I live in an apartment complex with very lovely people and an amazing environment to go on walks and play outside in the park we have. ☺️

“Yesenia was great with my two big dogs with anxiety issues. She was great about staying in touch with me and sending photos. She even stayed a night or two with my babies because they were scared. I would highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. From a young age my parents emphasized the importance of properly caring for and loving all the animals I had, and trust me we have had our fair share! I’ve had cats and dogs, birds, fish, and frogs… and even a bearded dragon! Now it’s a little more lowkey as my boyfriend and I live with our sweet 2 year old rescue pup named Koda. Nothing brings me as much happiness as caring for and spoiling my fur baby (hopefully another fur baby soon) and I would love to help do the same for your pets as well! I currently work remotely from home. My schedule is pretty flexible other than my 2-3 set meetings each day. I am available for drop ins or overnights since I can take my work with me and plan my day around my meetings! I am a firm believer that pets deserve all the love in the world. I pride myself on how much time and attention I pour into my rescue pup and I think it’s important that the same standard applies for any clients animals I have the pleasure of taking care of. Being a rescue pup, my fur baby has a lot of special quirks that have taken time to learn and address accordingly to give her the best life possible. I believe each animal deserves the same attention.

“Lindsay was great with my dogs and left my house neat and organized when she left after staying 5 days with my girls. She was communicative and very caring toward our pups. Will definitely hire again!”


“Could not have asked for more from Patrick! He was extremely easy to work with and did a fantastic job watching my dog Koda for 8 nights. He sent frequent updates with pictures, videos and even went above and beyond to give Koda a bath. He was very responsive and made me feel so at ease. I will definitely book with him again!”
