“Teresa and her husband were the first sitters we used on Rover and it was an amazing experience. They made sure to update us with text & photos. They treated Duke and cookie as if they were their own. definitely recommend them and will be using them again.”


“Second time boarding with Ben and my dog Harley is glad to visit him. Great peace of mind going out of town knowing he’s being well taken care of and happy. Above and beyond with a flight delay ending up needing an extra night of care last minute. Highly recommend to anyone in the area for a great pet sitter.”


“Amy was such a pleasure to book with. My baby Deuce loved his stay with this beautiful family. He is now home and snoring. Safe to say he ran and played a lot of his energy off. Hahaha.”


“Carolyn is awesome. She knows how to handle dogs and keeps you informed about how your fur baby is doing. Trip came back from his visit tired from all the activities and that’s a good thing. It was a great experience and she’s going to be my go to when I have to leave town.”

“Jennifer watched my mom’s dogs and was amazing! My mom was anxious leaving her furbabies, Jennifer put her right at ease. She made sure my mom was comfortable. Jennifer also sent photos of the dogs every day. She was a fabulous dog sitter!!!”


“I cannot recommend Brenna highly enough! They took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—my dogs took to them right away, which says a lot! Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates, photos, and even a video, which made being away from my pups so much easier. It was clear they treated my dogs like part of the family—with walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I returned, my dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to watch your dog, look no further. I’ll absolutely be booking with Brenna again!”


“Some people you just know you can trust early on when you meet them and Ramona is one of those people. She asks the questions you expect an experienced sitter to ask and has a safe and comfortable place for your pooch to stay.”


“Sage did a great job with our puppy! He has a lot of energy and has a mischievous personality but Sage had patience and loved him like her own. I was sent daily pictures and updated on his shenanigans on a regular basis. We will definitely be repeat customers!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life growing up with dogs, cats, and even small animals gave me a strong foundation in compassionate and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through while others travel, where I stayed in people’s homes and looked after their animals like they were my own. I’ve also spent time fostering animals, helping them adjust to new environments and providing them with love and routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just companionship, I’m experienced and comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments from playful puppies to shy rescues Pets are naturally part of my daily life! I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals in the past, so caring for pets is already built into my routine. Whether it's feeding, cleaning, playing, or giving love and attention, I make time each day to ensure animals feel safe and happy. I'm home often, which allows me to give pets the consistent care and companionship they deserve throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I offer a calm, welcoming environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore or relax. We also have a peaceful pond area that many pets enjoy watching. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine consistent, give them comfort, and respect their space like it’s my own.

“Tiffany was so communicative with us during our little guy’s stay. It looks like he had the best time! We definitely would recommend her over and over again. The absolute best!”


“First time having to use Rover for dog boarding and I was nervous but Eli and Mar made the whole experience safe and fun for our fur bebe. They really took care of her and went above and beyond. Our bebe Nala had fun socializing with couple other dogs and had a lot of playing time. They followed her routine instructions very well and Nala even got a polaroid picture and an artwork at the end of the day. Thank you again so much Eli and Mar!”


“Kodie was great with Cooper and took good care of him. We will definitely check with her when needed. He came home all chipper and active. (Happy) Thank you Kodie”


“Van was super easy to work with. She responded immediately to messages and was flexible and accommodating. We received reports every day during our dog's stay. Our senior dog had a few special needs but that didn't seem to be an issue.”


“Hannah is awesome! She helped me out with a super last minute booking - extremely kind, personable, and took such great care of my dog. Will definitely book again!”


“Wonderful experience! Blake went above and beyond taking my dog Lola into her home and looking after her. While on my short vacation, Blake updated me regularly throughout the days that I was away with photos and messages of what my pup was up to. Knowing that Lola was in great hands made the transition seamless and easy. Would recommend Blake to anyone who needs a reliable dog sitter!”

“Katie was very professional and has a lot of experience. She was on top of keeping update while I was on my trip. Her and her family were very kind and welcomed Bella with open arms. I would definitely book them again.”
