“Ziggy and Zuzu had a great time with Amanda and her family. They loved all the attention and pets playing in the backyard. Amanda gave me great updates with pictures and responds quickly. Hope she can sit for us again!”

“Cory was amazing! He took care of my dogs and house as if it was his. He kept us updated, left my house better than what it was. I will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with the animals. Thank you Cory!! I appreciate you so much!”

“RaeAnna was so great! It was extremely helpful that she was available last minute, and then took such great care of my pup. She was timely, responsive, and sent very sweet updates.”

“Jaelyn was a fantastic pet sitter and home sitter! She was very pleasant to work with and watched my pets at my home for several days. I was sent many photos of my pets and texted updates on their days. Both my fur babies seemed relaxed and totally comfortable in her care. Jaelyn administered medication for my senior cat. My dog enjoyed walks and play time each day. She also watered plants, brought in mail, and took out trash for us. This was my first time using Rover services and she made the experience very easy. We will definitely request future services from Jaelyn!”

“Elizabeth J. Did a great job house sitting and watching our 2 dogs and cat! They were very communicative and sent cute updates of our girls. They also left our house in great condition. 100% would recommend and will be hoping to have them as our rover in the future again!”

About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and I specialize in caring for small dogs in my home. I have a small dog of my own, so I truly understand the unique needs of little pups and how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and protected. Because I have experience with small breeds, I’m very mindful about their safety. Small dogs can be more vulnerable to things like larger animals, big birds, or unsafe outdoor environments, so I always closely supervise outdoor time and make sure they’re in a secure, controlled area. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here. I focus on providing a calm, attentive environment where small dogs can relax, play safely, and receive plenty of attention and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home full time so I will be available to be with your pup all day and give all the care he or she needs! Safety is my top priority — pets are always supervised, introductions are done slowly and carefully, and I follow each owner’s routines and preferences. I keep a clean, pet-friendly home, provide comfortable rest areas, and can crate your dog if requested. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“She did such an awesome job with our dogs and house while my little family was away! Very quick to respond and sent regular updates! My dogs can be a handful to new people but she loved them like her own :) the house also looks just like we left it! 10/10 will be booking with Hailey again !”

“Heaven did great for a seven day house-sit! I had quite the menagerie at the time - fish, frogs, birds, cats, and came to all of them happy and healthy and the house just as tidy as when we left.”

“I have a very challenging extra large dog with fear aggression. Ariana was a natural with her and absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my beastly pup and home. I will definitely be hiring her again to dog/housesit.”

“Best pet sitter ever! Benita is amazing with my pack and she took wonderful care of them. Dealt with their quirks;, provided lots of updates with pics and video, administered medications and kept them all happy and loved. Will definitely book again lots! I highly recommend her for any and all pets. She is wonderful! Came home to happy, healthy pets :)”
“She kept us informed on how the dogs and cat was doing with texts and pictures. Our older dog ended up getting kennel cough right before we left. She gave her the pills and kept us updated on Thistle's progress. We got back and Thistle was back to her usual self. Our house was cleaned and could find nothing wrong with the place!!! I will book f a. again when we go out of town!”


“Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!”

“Erica went above and beyond for our dogs. She helped us out in a bind with a last-minute booking/availability and quickly came by to meet the pups. It was so nice to leave town for a night and not have to worry about them, and she kept us updated often with texts and pictures. Highly recommend! Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Erica!!!”

About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.
“Kira took fantastic care of my two dogs over Thanksgiving week. They absolutely loved her, and it was clear from their relaxed, happy behavior that she gave them lots of attention and affection. She also went above and beyond with my chickens. She noticed their heater wasn’t working, figured out how to build a functioning fixture from parts in the garage, and then continued to check it daily to make sure it was still working properly until we got back. I will definitely be asking Kira to watch my animals again. She’s competent, communicates clearly, and is truly compassionate with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. And here ADA dog is a sweetie too!”

About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
