“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”
“We left our pup with Deanne for a 7 day trip and she was incredible. It was all positive vibes from our first meeting onward. Our dog was clearly comfy, wonderfully cared for, and loved! Deanne will be our first call for future trips!”
“Brooke did a great job watching out 3 year old doodle. She was responsive during booking, and even helped deal with our dog's small medical issue (including keeping a cone on Ruby all weekend). Thank you Brooke!”
“Outstanding experience with our sweet rescue puppy. This was our dogs first tine being boarded and we felt very comfortable; Nicole took such great care of her and kept us updated throughout the whole stay. Would 100% use her again. It's obvious she truly loves animals.”
“We were so happy with Teresa. She boarded our 1.5 year-old puppy for a few days—our dog looked so happy and comfortable within minutes of arrival and was exhausted when we picked her up (always a sign of a good time). Teresa was great at communication, sent daily photos of our puppy, and was very communicative via the app. we also really loved that Teresa had other dogs (both hers personally and others that she was boarding) so our dog really got to engage and play actively. We would definitely choose Teresa again!”
“Tetiana is an amazing petsitter! She is communicative, attentive to details and, most importantly, has a loving and giving heart. She and her lovely mom Maria treated my Edna like their own, with play and cuddles and outdoor adventures — many pictures clearly showing to me Edna’s enjoyment. I hope Edna can return to Tetiana’s and I highly recommend her.”
“Candice was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!! This was my first time leaving my baby boy with anyone! I was kept updated with messages and pics. Would definitely recommend and/or book with Candice again.”
“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs more than half my life. They are family and should be treated as such. I use a gentle approach and we will make sure we are the right fit before committing to a stay. I currently work from home with our fur baby Goldie. We go for walks or hang out in the AC, or by the warm fire. Offering play and enrichment throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of doggie beds, treats and tons of affection. A super friendly medium sized dog named Goldie and a fast moving 8 year old daughter. Must be dog and kid friendly. No cats in home.
“Taylor went above and beyond for my senior dog. She is patiently and creatively dealt with Ruby’s separation anxiety. When Ruby had a medical issue, Taylor communicated immediately and provided detailed and accurate information. Taylor dealt with this unusual occurrence calmly and intelligently. I recommend Taylor without hesitation.”
“Mary and Todd were wonderful hosts to our 4 month old puppy, June. Everything was handled very easily and leaving her behind with such nice people was really comforting. She even got a longer walk than she would have with us!”
“Yenifer took excellent care of my dog. He was so happy with her! She made sure she communicated everyday with us during the stay, sent us pictures and updates. We are very happy with her services and would strongly recommend her. Thank you, Yenifer.”
“Benny was amazing! When my sitter canceled 40min before drop off (I know) I scrambled to find some else or cancel my vacation and Benny saved the day. With 26 acres of farm to explore this was Arlo's heaven. When he wasn't out walking he had his own air conditioned room to relax in (which is his preference). Benny sent up dates everyday and was very promt to communicate.”
About: I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals over the years. From mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks - I love to pamper them all! I've learned to understand each animals' individual needs and am hyperfocused in their comfort. Being a committed pet parent, I've experienced and indulged in all the milestones - so I'm ready for the puppy edition all the way through caring for your senior family member. Being very detailed oriented and personally spoiling my own critters, I can support even the most high maintenance of fur babies! My fiancé (also on Rover!) ensure your furbaby is entertained around the clock! I work from home and handle the early bird shift, including your pup in the sunrise (bright snd early) farm chores. My fiancé provides the daytime activities including long walks and hikes on our farm, supervised yard time, play time. Evening activities include additional walks and games. Pups will have their last walk and tucked in for the night around 1030PM. I am extremely conscious of pet safety and following instructions provided by owners. When pets are at my home, they will not have any interaction with other animals- just me and my fiancé (who is also on Rover!). Dogs will always be on a leash, with the exception of being enclosed in a secure fenced in area. We have a 1 acre fenced in yard where dogs can have supervised zoomie time. Dogs will never be left unattended in the yard. Our fur guests spending the day or night will have their own room with a bed, crate (if preferred for their comfort or if they are beavers), ad lib water, etc.
About: Hi there! I'm Ashley, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom ready to give your pup the care and comfort they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, especially after caring for my fur daughter, my sweet long-haired Chihuahua who was by my side for 17 wonderful years. I understand the slower pace and extra TLC that older pups need, and I’m here to provide just that. We’ve also had two German Shepherd mixes in the past, so I’m no stranger to larger breeds. While I typically prefer small to medium-sized dogs for our home setup, I’m open to exceptions for well-mannered larger dogs — especially seniors. Because I work from home and my kids are at daycare during the day, it’s just me and your pup…which means plenty of calm, one-on-one attention and companionship in a quiet environment. I know how stressful it can be to find care you trust…especially when options in our area are limited. That’s why I treat every dog like family, with love, routine, and lots of affection. I’ll care for your furry loved one as if they were my own and will happily share updates and photos as often as you'd like to give you peace of mind while you're away. I provide attentive, loving care while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I work from home with a lot of flexibility, I can offer daily daycare with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight boarding for dogs who need a home-away-from-home. Throughout, I’ll keep you updated as much as you’d like, so you always feel comfortable and connected. I care for dogs in a safe, comfortable home environment where your dog will be treated like a valued family member. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, your dog will always be supervised and safe. They’re always free to explore and relax throughout the home. Because pets are part of the family, we often allow them on the couch and beds to snuggle and feel at home, but I’m always happy to follow your preferences to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved.
About: I am an all around animal lover who pays close attention to detail every step of the way. Your animal will get attention, cuddles and love all around. Mornings are the best time for me and even early to mid day to take your puppy out. I am flexible with scheduling and am open during the week mainly There are many options available, I have 3 cats and 1 puppy who loves other dogs. I also am able to go to your home and take them out. I am flexible.
“You and your dog will love Alister! He makes sure your dog gets lots of playtime and exercise. Alister is great with the daily updates and pics! I felt comfortable leaving Chester with him and confident he has the dog experience to handle any situation. I will definitely use Alister again!”

Kimiko & Benjamin C.
“I'd highly recommend Kimiko for any pet sitting needs you may have. Her calm, competent attitude is just as reassuring to my pets as it is to myself. She can also handle a wide variety of situations. I have three dogs with very intense personalities, and two cats who don't always love the dogs, and she easily navigates their relationships. My oldest dog is reactive and dog selective and I've never had any concerns when he's in Kimiko's hands. She also has plenty of experience with providing medication and handling dogs going through rehab. I seriously can't say enough good things about KImiko. You won't regret having her take care of your pets.”
Ashley D.
“Ashley has cared for our 2 boxers many times. She deeply cares for your pets well being like they are her own. Over the time she spent pet sitting she would also send pictures of them. It was a great way to see them while traveling. I would highly recommend Ashley for your pet care needs.”
