“Dominique was an outstanding sitter for my pup Ranna! Not only is she highly experienced with sitting dogs that have very specific personalities and needs, she’s extremely responsive and always provides me with timely updates and cute pictures of Ranna while I was away. I’m thrilled to have a great sitter to lean on when I need someone to watch my pup.”

“Jeffrey was amazing with our puppy! It was our first time leaving her and we were super nervous about it. Jeffrey communicated everything and sent reassuring photos while we were away. Our puppy loved Jeffrey and we are already looking to book him again!”

“Caitlin was very helpful and asked a lot of questions in her initial meeting with our babies! The animals all seemed content and well taken care of when we returned from our trip.”
“Hannah took such good care of Brandi and Rue. She kept us up to date each day and was so attentive with the girls! We are so thankful she cared for them and our home like her own!”

“Logan was so great with our dogs and we would definitely book him again! One of them has resource guarding issues and Logan was confident in handling any aggression that might come up. He spent tons of time with them, walked them and played outside a bunch too. He asked how much communication / how often we wanted updates and sent tons of great pictures. He even printed out a few for us to have for frames, which was so thoughtful and sweet! I could tell our dogs had a great time with him and I felt great about having him there watching them. Logan also made sure to ask questions during the meet and greet and made me feel confident that he could handle any issues and that he cared for my dogs. I would definitely recommend him to others!”


“Destiny was great with our two pups! We went on vacation and she stayed with them at our home. She was always super responsive, gave frequent updates and made sure to get in contact with me if anything happened outside the norm. I can’t recommend her enough! It was also very comforting to have this type of support as it was our first time away from our 6 month old puppy. Have already booked her for another sit :)”

“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”


About: Hey, I’m Doug. I’ve had dogs pretty much my whole life and can’t imagine it any other way. I’ve owned and loved several different breeds over the years, and right now I share my home with a big, lovable German Shepherd and a 16 year old calico cat who has a lot of sass and attitude. I’m also a dad of two, and while my kids are in school I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being outside, going on long walks, throwing the ball until your dog is tired before I am, and ending the day with plenty of snuggles. I’m very responsible and take pet care seriously, but I also try to keep things easy and fun. I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like they’re part of the family, I’d love to help out. I’m primarily available on weekdays between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, which lines up well with mid day check ins, drop ins, and visits while you’re at work. I’m also available some evenings, depending on the day. I’m a parent of two, so I focus on providing reliable care during school hours and select evenings when I can give your pet my full attention. If you have a schedule question or a special request, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to talk through what might work best. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important familiarity is, especially when their people are away. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, medication, litter box care, playtime, and any little quirks your pet might have. I always make sure your home is left just as I found it. Food and water areas stay clean, litter boxes are scooped, and I do a quick check to make sure everything looks safe and secure before I leave. I also spend time with your pet based on what they’re comfortable with, whether that’s playtime, gentle attention, or just calm company. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos so you know how things are going and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that both your pet and your home are being well cared for.
“Karena was a wonderful pet sitter for us! Our usually skittish chihuahua mix even came to like sitting by jet and getting pets. Her calm caring energy really helps anxious dogs! Karena also sent pics and videos throughout our booking which was very reassuring. Overall, we highly recommend her!”

“Olivia was amazing. My dog got sick and she kept in touch with me, got him to the vet, stayed with him, and made sure the house was put together afterwards. She is very responsible and a fantastic pet sitter. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Livvy!”

“Sarah (and the Rover platform) were a last minute vacation-saver for us! Sarah took excellent care of our very old and very young pups. Sarah communicated well with us throughout the week, solved problems when they arose, and kept the pups safe and occupied. Absolutely recommend!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Victory! She took amazing care of our mini Schnauzer, Ollie, last weekend, and I’m so grateful for her help. From the moment Victory arrived she made sure to follow Ollie's normal routine, which allowed him to get acclimated to her quickly. Victory's time with Ollie was seamless and non-disruptive for him, which I really appreciated. Not only did she give Ollie the best care, but she also took fantastic care of our house. When she left, everything was tidy and spotless. Victory went above and beyond by sending me daily updates and pictures, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and goes the extra mile to ensure they’re happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Victory to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is thoughtful, responsible, and incredibly reliable! Thank you, Victory, for taking such wonderful care of Ollie and our home! Will definitely have Victory watch Ollie and our home again!”

“Vanessa took care of our Dexter, all day on a Saturday ,while we were out of town for the day. She followed our instructions , took him out frequently, gave him his dinner and water, and made sure he had company so he wouldn't be anxious. He was happy when we got home :) I would definitely call Vanessa again!”

“Makena did an amazing job with our 3 pups! She sent us so many updates and took care of our wild doggos with ease. She also kept our house SO clean! She is now going to be our go-to dog sitter!”

“I was very pleased with her as a sitter. She came over and got to know my dog and showed up on time the first day. She sent me pics and kept me up to date throughout my trip. My dog was comfortable with her. I would let her watch my puppy again.”

“Chelsea did a fantastic job with our girls! She was communicative, reliable, and cared for them so well. Would recommend her to anyone needing some extra care for their pets!”

“Angie did an excellent job taking care of my boys! She sent many photos and updated me during her stay. She definitely gave them the care that they needed and loved.”

“Heather watched my condo and senior pup, Rusty, overnight for 4 days. Rusty is 13, has a heart murmur, is blind in one eye and has very limited sight out of the other eye. A few days before our planned trip my Rusty’s heart murmur increased to a grade 5 and he went on heart medication twice per day. Heather watched over him and kept a very detailed care diary for me since it was his first week on the medication. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos throughout their time together. Heather really put me at ease and gave me peace of mind leaving Rusty for a few days after some medical changes. Rusty really seemed at ease with her. I cannot sing her praises enough. I will definitely book with her again.”

As always, Logan and Audrey did a wonderful job taking care of out fur babies while we were out of town for 5 nights. It’s so nice to know that they’re being taken care of, and I don’t have to worry. Also, communication is top notch and the daily updates with pictures are priceless! I would definitely recommend them!

Laney is amazing! She was so punctual for any meeting we had. She always got up the same time every morning to take care of our 4 animals. She sent us pictures while we were gone and left the house exactly as we left it while being comfortable but extremely respectful of our house. Could not recommend more.

We couldn’t have asked for a better rover than Sam to watch our dog for a week when we went on vacation! She was consistently updating us with pictures and we were NEVER worried for a second about our dog while we were away. Our dog definitely loved her and she was great with him especially considering he’s very big and energetic. Overall, we would recommend Sam to anybody and will definitely be booking with her in the future!
