“They did an amazing job! They’re such a sweet family. Trevor has glaucoma and has a very specific medication application that needs to be done twice a day which made me nervous about not taking him with me to my vacation. However, when I got back his eyes looked so much better than before! So, I knew they took care of him well. They updated me daily with pictures and he looked so happy during his stay. Will be booking again.”

“Our dogs love going to Ron’s house. They have fun in his yard and with his dogs and love having a dog door. Ron is a great communicator and always sends lots of photos.”

“This was our first time booking through Rover.com and we couldn't be happier. Shawna & Ethan were great. When we met them, it was clear to us that they are dog lovers. Their home is in a lovely location and very dog-friendly. They have an established routine with their own dogs, and it is very much like what our dog is used to. While we were gone to attend an out of town wedding, they sent us pictures of our dog and the activities they were all doing. It was so nice, because we knew he was happy and we didn't need to worry about how he was doing. We will definitely book with Shawna and Ethan again when the need arises. It's a relief to have your pet taken care of by someone you trust rather than a kennel where they are basically ignored. Five stars for Shawna & Ethan - would give them more if that was an option.”

“Our dog loved Erica. He came home very happy. She took him on walks (which he loves) and send us lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely come back. Thanks Erica.”

“Korrina was an excellent dog sitter for us, she would send us pictures and videos constantly and answered any questions we had throughout our one week outing. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”

“We will definitely be using Loren again! She took great care of our doggy and gave us daily updates and pictures. He came home happy after a few days at her house and we can tell he was well taken care of.”

“Christina did a great job! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of ours. No issues whatsoever. Sent us frequent updates and photos, which were much appreciated. 10/10! Definitely recommend!”

“Sally is the sweetest!!! This was the first time I ever boarded my own dog. It was a great experience. Sally sent lots of pictures & updates. Cashmere socialized with other doggies and had lots of TLC. I highly recommend Sally!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Kat took such great care of Luna. We were able to meet ahead of time for my dog to get acquainted with kat’s dog and house. Kat sent photos and kept us looped in the whole time we were away. I felt 100% confident that my dog was well cared for and happy.”

“We are passing thru and fortunately found Gina to take care of our fur babies. If we lived here Gina would be our go to sitter!!! Both pups were happy and healthy when we picked them up and it was clear they were loved by Gina and family 💝”

“Melissa and David are wonderful! I have left my senior dog, Caleb, with them several times now and he has been well cared for. They always send pictures and updates and my dog is very happy. Their other pets are very friendly and Caleb loves visiting with all of his new friends. I feel that he is well loved when he goes to stay at Melissa and David's house.”

“Barbara took great care of our two dogs! She paid attention to each of their personalities. I think our dogs had a nice few days away from home in Barbara’s care. Thank you!”

“Jan is AMAZING!!! Our 2 pups loved her and their stay at her house. She took them on plenty of walks and sent us TONS of pictures and videos. I always get nervous leaving our girls, but Jan made us feel more than comfortable. I never want to leave our girls anywhere, but I can safely say we would be repeat customers!! Thanks Jan!”

About: Although I don’t have professional experience caring for pets, I do have experience watching the pets of friends and my own. I have had kittens born in my home and have lived with and care for both dogs and cats in my own on a personal level. I also have provided childcare and care of seniors. My upmost goal is to serve those in my care to best of my ability with love, respect, and attention. I am available at all times. I do attend church daily so there is an hour and a half period where I would be at home every day, but as long as your pet can handle an hour and half of me away I’m available as needed. I am available for whatever the individual needs with provided instructions. I can walk the dogs in my complex and there are trash bags available for use.
“Jessica was a great host! Before the stay, she asked about personality, play style, feeding habits, leash/walk habits, sleeping preferences, etc. I could tell from the daily pictures that Roxy was having an awesome time. She kept her busy with plenty of playtime and walks. Looking forward to having Roxy stay over in the future. 10/10”

“Alondra took great care of our pup! She was responsive, kind, professional, and sent picture updates of our girl. We highly recommend her services and will be looking for availability in the future!”


“We are so appreciative of Robyn! Our dog is generally nervous with new people and new places and she does great with him, he has stayed with her twice and we would definitely book with her again. She sends lots of photos and updates and he comes home happy and well cared for. We are so happy to have found her!”

“Karen was a delightful sitter, who provided updates and gave good care to my pup. I appreciated that there were lots of green walking spaces around her home to have daily walks and I did not have to worry about him while out of town. Would have her watch my pup again in the future!”


“Kalee is just great! She was able to watch my dog for the second time and she was able to watch him very last minute and seems really great with dogs! Will definitely be taking my dog back to Kalee!”

About: I've had animals for 35 years, and have worked with trainers with all of them so that they're well trained, respectful, and obedient. Your dog will be safe and well cared for in my home. I have a large back yard that's walled in, and the entire back yard is also rattlesnake proofed. I'm retired, and spend most of my time at home either gardening or reading. I have a fully flexible schedule, and can attend to your dogs needs throughout the day. I have a large back yard that's fully walled, and is fully rattlesnake proofed. The gate to the back yard is padlocked, so no one can enter or exit without my knowledge. Being a dog owner myself, I know how trustworthy someone needs to be to feel fully comfortable with a provider. I'd take care of your dog as if it was my own.

It has been such a comfort to have Shawna watch our girl for years now! We know she will be well cared for and she will have some fun with her dog friends, Penny and Brutus. When we pull into the driveway, Pumpkin gets so excited and happy that she cries and wags like crazy! We feel lucky to have her.

We recently moved to Tucson and needed someone to watch our dog for a long weekend. We're really happy we found Robyn. She took good care of my dog. She sent periodic texts and pictures so I knew my dog was doing well. We'll definitely be using Robyn again. My dog came home happy

Jodi is an excellent pet sitter who gave my little Oso (pomeranian) lots of love and care. She was very attentive and integrated him into her family immediately. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures! I really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while my baby was away from him family 🥰 Thank you Jodi!

I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters than Bill and Angus. I knew from meeting them for the first time that they would be the perfect match for my dogs. Their home was comfortable and they had a large yard for my dogs to explore. I received updates and photos. My dogs were also treated to several daily walks which they love. Thanks again, Miika & Bandit will look forward to their next visit!

If you are looking for the absolute best, Miriam and her husband are it! Miriam holds a Star Sitter designation and after our experience, it's easy to see why. She didn't just do the job; she completely poured her heart into caring for our Teagan. We had total peace of mind knowing our pup was in the absolute best hands. A truly exceptional 5-star experience, and we will definitely ask her to care for Teagan again the in future!

Teri is very reliable, caring, and she loves dogs. She took care of my dog (Leia) like her own. Teri is very flexible, we were very lucky that she accommodated Leia. She gives us updates, sends photos everyday of Leia’s activity, and she is very quick to respond to our messages. Leia was very comfortable with Teri, she gets a lot of exercise , while with Teri. She gets along very well with Teri’s dogs. It gave me peace of mind leaving Leia with Teri knowing how comfortable Leia was when she got inside Teri’s house, and immediately start to play with Teri’s fur babies. 🥰 Thank you so much Teri.

Misty took amazing care of our sweet corgi, Jasper, for three nights! He absolutely loved staying with her and had the best time playing with her Mini Aussie, Rip. She has a great property with plenty of space for the dogs to play and a fully fenced yard, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Misty took Jasper on walks, kept him busy, and gave him plenty of attention. We could definitely tell he had a great time because he slept so much once we got him home! 😂 She followed all of our care instructions, including his feeding, treats, and crating routine. It’s such a relief to have someone you can trust to take good care of your fur baby while you’re away. Jasper came home happy and exhausted, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to Misty first the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!
