1. Christian G.

“Christi kept us well informed and lots of pics of our fur babies. Our doggies said they had lots of fun with her and she was a good playmate. Thank you”


2. Josilyn N.

“Josilyn was great! Our puppy had a medical emergency the night before our vacation and Josilyn was not only kind enough to pick him up from the hospital, but went above and beyond to make sure both of our pups were happy and cared for until we came home. She is our go-to sitter from now on!”


3. Matt B.

“Matt went far above and beyond expectations. He house sat my 6-month-old puppy and 2 cats for 6 days, and they really tested him. The puppy chewed up a mattress pad and peed in my bed, and he washed and cleaned up EVERYTHING. Both the puppy and the cats loved him. He was gentle with both of them and gave lots of pets to everyone (cute pics of happy animals). I will definitely book him again; highly recommend to anyone!”


4. Crystal G.


“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”




5. Johana M.

“Johana provided excellent care and peace of mind for my two large (spoiled) dogs while I was traveling. She provided me photos of the pups when she arrived and throughout her stay to assure me they were doing well and were being lavished with attention:) She stayed at my home, house sat and dog sat. I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided and the kindness and conscientiousness of Johana. Thank you so much! I will definitely call you again.”


6. Scarlett M.

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”


7. Anna D.

“I was really worried about leaving my dogs with a stranger again. My last rover sitter basically abandoned my dogs and left them crated for 20 hours a day. I was really nervous that they were not going to be treated well, especially when Anna was our 5th meet and greet. Many people made me seem like my dogs were an issue. Anna made me trust rover again. My dogs had the best time with Anna and she kept me well informed of their visit. I got lots of great pictures of my dogs during her visit and I came home to really happy dogs. I would recommend Anna to anyone who needs a sitter especially if you have big dogs like mine. Thank you Anna! Halo and Hercules can’t want to see you again!”


8. Jeweliana W.

“So polite and professional. Took amazing care of my baby. Will be booking again.”


9. Shana S.

“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”


10. Laura S.


“The dogs settled in nicely while Laura was watching them. She understands dogs need time to warm up and was very gentle with them. She’s prompt and reliable.”


11. Leslie A.


“Leslie is amazing with our pets, Buster and Cricket. She sends us updated photos everyday and I always know when we leave them in her care they are in excellent hands :)”


12. Dillon S.

“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

About: I always thought I grow up to be a dog trainer and even made an obstacle course for my dog at the age of 8. I love all types of dogs and especially high energy pups. I have had a Border Collie, an Aussie, a Labrador and currently have 2 Doberman. We go for several walks through the day and they love to play with other dogs. I work at the fire station for 48 hours on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the week I stay at home and care for my pups, unless I pick up an extra shift. I take the dogs for several walks a day and have a small unfenced yard to let them out on leash. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates at my house if your dogs perfers to sleep in a kennel. I also keep a close eye on my dogs because they are known to get into mischief due to their high energy. I keep them busy with mental stimulation toys through out the day so yours will get those also. I also have a separate upstairs area of the house for dogs who want to be away from the energy of the Doberman. But most of all, I am very flexible and can work with you and yours to make it work!




20. Danielle K.
“Danielle has made a wonderful impact on my fur babies while I am away. I can trust that they will be well taken care of and well fed. I love that she updates me on them while I am away and they are always so happy and responsive to her. She follows my instructions to a T and I can trust that she cares for them and takes the time to make sure they feel loved. She truly has a warm place in her heart for animals.”
