“Malia did an awesome job sitting our 12 wk old puppy while we were away. Puppies can require a lot of extra care and Malia and her family went beyond our expectations in seeing that our pup’s needs were met.”
“Maria went above and beyond when she recently boarded our dog, Koah, for two weeks. Her home is tidy, comfortable and quiet, all the things our anxious doggy needs. For the first few days of the boarding, Maria stayed nearby so that Koah had an easier transition to a new place. While away, we received numerous photos each day as well as consistent updates on how Koah was doing and any other relevant updates. She even went out of her way to buy Koah an additional chew toy and treat! We cannot recommend Maria enough if you're looking for a dog sitter or dog boarder who is genuinely a dog lover and will treat your dog like her own. We will certainly be booking with Maria again for future needs.”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”

About: I have taken care of my own fur babies since I was a child. I'm also a mother to four children, ages 19, 18, 7, and 6. Additionally, I've been a nurse for over 15 years. Caring for others (human or fur animals), is in my blood! I live in a 2/2 apartment, with a nice dog park. I do own one female, Toy Australian Shepherd, and she has been spayed and vaccinated. My two older children have moved out, so it's my husband and our smaller kiddos. I work remotely, so I'm able to be with your fur babies almost all the time! I can walk them every few hours and keep them fed/watered throughout the day. Lots of time for play and cuddles, too! I live in an apartment, but we have a nice dog park to allow your pup to run and play. I will walk your pup on a leash at all times. If he/she is crate trained, please be sure to bring their crate with them.
“My first time away from Babie🐕 (my dog) for more than a couple days and I was anxious, but Brianna took wonderful care of Babie and I knew she was comfortable right away and their dog Zeus was very playful with her, I don't think she wanted to come back! Brianna also kept me updated the entire time. Reliable and attentive. I’ll book again with them.”
About: I have four pets of my own and know how challenging it can be to find care you can trust. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, and am adept at giving medicines, walking, house sitting, and engaging play. I value your animals as I expect my sitters to value my own.! I am a teacher Monday-Friday during the school year from 7am-2:30 pm, but I am happy to do drop in visits before and/or after school during the week and on the weekends I have full availability. I do offer house sitting as long as any family is ok with their pet/s being alone during the day while I am at my other job. On the weekends they would have my full attention unless I am at a drop in. Summers I have wide open availability. I am happy to visit your pet as often and long as needed during those time frames. Because I have two large dogs of my own, I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I provide feeding, walking, medicine-giving, litter box cleaning, stimulating play, and really any specific needs your pet may have.
“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”
“Staysha is awesome! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. BB was well taken care of and we think a little sad to leave. Staysha sends tons of pictures and updates. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I am a loving, caring, and compassionate animal lover with experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, and farm animals. I understand the importance of providing pets with safe , attentive, and reliable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether walking dogs, feeding and caring for household pets, or assisting with the daily needs of farm animals, I am dedicated to ensuring animals feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. My genuine passion for animals, combined with my responsible and dependable nature, makes me a trustworthy caregiver for pets of all kinds. What truly sets me apart in dog care is my ability to provide adaptable, expert attention whether I am hosting your pup at my home, walking them in your neighborhood, or dropping by for a visit. I don't just watch your dog; I seamlessly sync with their unique lifestyle and daily routine. From managing high-energy leash pullers on active walks and patiently comforting an anxious rescue to providing a secure, engaging environment with my own dogs, I bring the exact same level of total dedication to every single service. Because I am home all day and deeply experienced with canine body language, your dog always gets focused supervision, the right balance of structure and play, and absolute physical safety. I bridge the gap between fun and reliability, ensuring your furry family member is happy, tired out, and well-cared for while giving you complete peace of mind through transparent updates. When you board your pet with me, they aren’t just getting a place to sleep—they are getting a loving home away from home where their safety and happiness are the top priorities. I treat every guest like a member of my own family, offering free-roam comfort, personalized attention, and a consistent routine that minimizes any separation anxiety.

You will receive frequent photo updates and clear communication throughout their entire stay, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is safe, pampered, and having a five-star vacation of their own. Choosing me means choosing absolute peace of mind, because I work from home and am here to provide supervised, 5-star care all day long in a structured and loving environment. Your pup will enjoy the ultimate backyard vacation in my massive, securely fenced yard, where they can burn off energy and play safely alongside my own friendly dogs for built-in companionship. I prioritize both emotional comfort and physical safety, which is why my home is fully equipped to accommodate your dog’s specific routine—including the ability to comfortably crate them for meals, bedtime, or relaxing downtime if they prefer a quiet, secure space of their own. From constant companionship to tailored safety measures, I ensure your furry family member feels completely secure, happy, and right at home throughout their entire stay.
“Stephanie was great! It was my first time using rover and she helped me get through it and she also was wonderful with my two dogs! Not to mention I asked for her to doggie sit the day before I needed it and she came to the rescue! The puppies must have had fun because they were exhausted when I picked hem up! She also sent me pictures which was great so I didn’t have to constantly worry about how they were doing!!!!! She has an amazing set up for the dogs with a fenced in back yard to the point where I didn’t have to worry about my 4lb yorkie getting away because it was so well fenced! I absolutely recommend Stephanie and I hope she’s available when I need a dog sitter again!”

“I don't have a lot of experience with boarding so I was a little anxious leaving my boy somewhere but I could tell at drop off that he would be treated like family. I would definitely request Jason for my future pet care needs.”
