“Absolutely wonderful experience! Karen was so kind and welcoming to our very energetic pup! She has great attention to detail and took the time to truly get to know our dog and his unique personality and needs. Getting updates and pictures of our dog having the time of his life with Karen and her family made us feel so at ease knowing that he was in great, loving hands. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen in the future and our pup can’t wait to go back! ☺️❤️”
“Emily is excellent! she is very responsive to any questions and accommodating to the needs of your dog and matching those with the needs of any dog staying at the same time. Our pup had a great time staying with her and we’re excited to have a great and trustworthy sitter in our area.”
“Luke is so committed to giving great care to your dog. He keeps them safe, hydrated, listens to your requests & helps them to get exercise & socialization in his fenced yard. Rachel will “love on” your pet too..He sincerely cares & will communicate well with owners.”
“Sandy is the best person to care for your dog while you’re away. She takes the time to find out about your dog before she takes care of them. It’s obvious that she truly loves caring for dogs. I know my little guy will miss all of the love she gave him in my absence. Lisa L.”
“Sparkles spent a wonderful five days of doggie day care with Katie and her family. She was excited to return each day so we knew she was enjoying her time with her new human and doggie friends. We are grateful Sparkles was in such good hands when we needed the extra help. Would gladly have Katie care for Sparkles again!”
“Fantastic. I had very short notice and Jessica and her husband were super accommodating. Alpine must have had a great time. He wore himself out playing with the other pups! Thanks a million. As a first time Rover user, this was an excellent experience.”
“This was the first time we used Rover. We left Gunner for a daycare day to start. Carolyn and Kristopher were great with Gunner. Carolyn wrote down all the details of Gunner’s normal routine and his particular needs. He came home very tired which was a win. We will be using them again in February for a longer stay. So thankful we found such wonderful people to leave him with.”
About: Leaving your four legged loved ones at home when you go on vacation is never easy. I strive to make sure they feel cared for and loved while you are away so you don't need to worry! I have over 18 years experience caring for animals of my own, rescue fosters, and shelter animals, and caring for others' pets while they are away. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience with cats, dogs, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, and more. I have cats and dogs of my own currently. Whether you are looking for a dog walker, a drop-in pet sitter, or a comfortable place to board your four-legged (or more or less) family members, I can be of service to you. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard, and a separate dedicated nicely sized bedroom dedicate to boarding. Whether I'm housing your pets or visiting your home, my goal is always to make them as comfortable and as happy as possible! I am currently working part-time from home. I am available for boarding, walking, and drop-ins, on a relatively flexible schedule. I am also offering sitter pick-ups and drop-offs as a boarding add-on. My style of pet care is catering to their needs and your desires. I have experience with shy, rowdy, low-energy, and other types of personalities. Each pet and each situation requires a unique approach.
“Jessica and her family are amazing hosts. They were easy to coordinate with and took great care of our senior husky. We will be rebooking with them in the future if they’ll have Cricket!”
About: We just lost our beloved Pitbull of 10 years in December. While not ready to own a new dog, I would love to be around them! I’m very active and would love to take your dog for a nice long walk and give them all the pets and snuggles needed! I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a lot of time during the day to hang with your pet! I am typically home all day. We live on 5 acres but do not have a fence. Our dog was trained to stay in the yard. We have a long tie out for dogs if they do not stay in the yard.
“Thank you for caring for GiGi. It was also nice that you had a nice fenced back yard. You live in such a convenient place, a couple minutes off of the Highway and 10 minutes from major shopping and great restaurants.”
About: I grew up on a farm and my parents were both veterinarians. I love animals and am even tempered. I’ve had a dog my whole life (except during college) and I know how important exercise & companionship are for our furry friends. I’m currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play & go for walks with your pup. My availability is very flexible. My backyard is fully fenced and a great size. My home is in a central location with great access to walking trails and not too far from the highway.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and am grateful for the companionship they bring. I can provide a safe and loving environment while you are away. I am also familiar with special needs dogs, puppies and seniors. I work from home and am available to help care for your beloved pets while you are away. I also own a small dog and a cat, so I take frequent trips outside for exercise and bathroom breaks. I have a fenced yard and go on daily walks. I love dogs and will spend time watching over your dog in a safe and nurturing environment. I also have a small dog that would enjoy making friends if your dog would enjoy that.
About: I have experience in feeding, grooming, walking, administering medication, and ensuring a safe environment for dogs since childhood. This began with my family dogs, which taught me the importance of love and patience with our furry family members, and this mentality has continued into my adult life with my own pups. I can’t wait to have pawsome adventures with your pet 😊 I am a stay at home momma so I have a lot of availability and flexibility all week long for boarding, daycare, check ins, etc. I have a yard with 3 friendly fur babies of my own to keep your pet company! I also have endless tough chewer toys to keep your pup’s tail wagging!
“Our dog Aggie had a great time with Julie! When we booked, she asked if Aggie would be ok having another dog around. We said Yes and the two Cockapoos had a wonderful day together. We appreciated Julie being willing to take on a second dog since we were asking last minute.”

Monika T.
“Monica has the kindest heart for animals and truly is a cat whisperer. When I was forced to move, I wasn't able to bring my cat with me. Monica took in my lil Raven without a second thought. It was obvious that Raven incorporated well in her care and thrived. Monica pays extra attention to not only the medical needs of the animals in her care, but also their emotional needs. If I had to have someone care for my animals, I wouldn't take a 2nd thought about who I would entrust in their care”
