1. Judy K.
“Absolutely wonderful Rover sitter. Took wonderful care of my dogs and house while I was away. Kept in contact with pictures and texts. Will definitely use Judy again.”
2. Sherri S.
“Sherri did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. She sent frequent updates WITH pictures showing me that everyone was eating, playing outside, and relaxing. I saw no stress with any of them. Sherri was always on time and she made it easy for me to feel confident in her skills even with short notice for this job and my newness to using Rover. She left the house even cleaner than it was to begin with! I am so happy to know there’s someone who can come and stay with my older pets if I need it and they can remain in their own home in comfort and with less stress than being put in a kennel. This is the service I’ve been looking for in this area, and Sherri’s care is worth every penny of the cost. Thank you! I would highly recommend!”

“Jesse was an incredible sitter for our 18 year old Chihuahua with daily Medication needs!! It was Rocco’s first Rover experience and when we came home from date night, Rocco was CALM, rested and HAPPY. :) He’s a VERY VERY PICKY CUSTOMER so JESSE made this worried Dog Mama Very RELIEVED and Thankful! We Will BOOK AGAIN!”
4. Ben T.
“Ben’s service to our dog and our family was top-notch. He was prompt for the meet and greet meeting, he messaged ahead on the day of the booking to see if there was anything that needed changed. He went above and beyond with watching our dog: taking her for a walk and playtime in the backyard. He texted us photos and even a concern about a skin blemish with our dog. He cleaned up very well after himself, even laundering our guest bedroom bedding. We recommend his services to anyone who has need. And we will definitely be booking him again.”

“Shannon did an amazing job house sitting with my baby boy Bogie. She was on time, communicative throughout the stay, asked questions, and took care of Bogie and our home like it was hers. She’s friendly and very easy going! I will definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you auntie Shannon for being so good with Bogie!”

About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog owner and occasional pet sitter, I have a deep love for and understanding of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment, whether it's during walks, playtime, or extended care. Your furry family member will receive attentive and affectionate care, ensuring they feel happy and comfortable while you're away. Reliable, responsible, and ready to meet your pet's unique needs, I'm here to make sure they have the best experience possible! I work from home and can ensure your dog will not be left alone. I like to hike and can take your dog along with us if you are comfortable with that. Rest assured, your dog will always be well cared for when you require pet services. They will receive abundant love and attention while you enjoy your day. I love the outdoors, and I'm eager to pamper your pets as if they were my own. Expect a wonderful atmosphere filled with plenty of love and hugs for your pets.

“Kendall is great with dogs! She has been a dog sitter for us for years. Our pup absolutely loves her - when Kendall comes over Freckles goes right to her and will sit in her lap and snuggle. One time our neighbor accidentally let Freckles get out and Kendall came to the rescue and found her the next street over. I would highly recommend Kendall to anyone who wants an absolute dog lover to care for your pet. Just be warned that Kendall will get attached to your pet! :)”
10. Cassidy M.
“Cassidy did a great job at taking care of my two senior dogs and 3 cats while I was away on a trip. My dogs have special needs and she was able to lift them to take them in the car to the dog park, give them their vitamins, and stay with them overnight. Additionally, she had no problems with my cats who all have very needy personalities. She also would send many updates along with pictures of my pets which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone looking!”
11. leah p.
“Gabby and Baylee had a wonderful stay with Leah at our home while we were away for a family event. Leah kept us updated with their activities and went the extra mile to make sure "the girls" were happy and in their normal routines of play time, nap time, meal time & bed time. We will absolutely use her again to house sit our pups and for drop in visits. Thank you Leah. P.S. Monday morning Baylee went over to the guest room door and sat down waiting for Leah to come out to play!! That's a real pup satisfaction review!”
12. Eva L.
“Kathy is the ultimate dog lover. She takes great care of dogs and provides peace of mind to the owners. She will go above and beyond and do all that the owner requests. She's adept at providing medication if needed and any special food or treats. She handles any dogs in her care as if they are her own. She's also very reliable and trustworthy.”
13. Katirna J.
“Katrina was wonderful. She was very nice and Alvie took to her right away so I had no anxiety about leaving him. I would definitely recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a dog sitter and we would absolutely use her again.”
14. Alexandra D.
“We have requested Alexandra‘s pet sitting services on several occasions over the past year. During our first visit, and introduction to our dogs, she was very thorough and made notes of their individual needs. She has always been professional, trustworthy, generous with her time, and most importantly, compassionate and loving to our two dogs. I would highly recommend Alexandra to anyone searching for an attentive and devoted animal caregiver. I cannot thank her enough for all of the love and care that she has provided our pups during their time together. I am confident that anyone that engages her pet sitting services will quickly feel the same way.”
15. Amanda C.
“She was great with our dogs! She sent pictures to me and was available when I texted her. Was very pleased!”
16. Rachel and Mark B.
“Rachel was wonderful! My dogs took right to her and she was very knowledgeable about their needs and how to manage feeding of all of them. She sent great pics and messages. I highly recommend her.”
17. Lily R.
“Lily loves all animals. Growing up she has had everything from hermit crabs to dogs and cats. Lily always takes the time to research how to best take care of the animals she wants before she gets them. She gets the best food, supplies and toys to make sure they are properly taken care of. She has lots of experience with all sorts of animals. She has had reptiles, small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs. She has had 3 chinchillas for many years. Lily is not only great with animals, she is great with kids. She has the patience to entertain and play with kids and has had years of experience watching other people's children. I only say this because she is amazing with animals and kids and has lots of patience. She pays lots of attention to her animals and will be great with other people's furry family. She has also had experience watching pets over the last year.”
18. Robert S.
“Robert is a conscientious young man and truly loves animals. He has cared for both dogs and cats. He is trustworthy and is an excellent sitter.”
19. Laura P.
“She took great care of our two dogs. One of them has tons of energy and Laura played lots of ball. I felt great peace of mind that they were being well loved and cared for while I was gone.”
20. Cynthia W.
“Cynthia is awesome! I unexpectedly added two cats to the mix that had to be kept in a bedroom and she was super super sweet about it. My dog Scout is on lots of medication and my other dog Sophie is old, 15 years, and it’s not the easiest thing to take care of. But Cynthia did a great job and my house is spotless!”
