“Jill and her family took excellent care of our baby! Great Danes can be a bit of a handful, but Jill took everything in stride and was super communicative about how she was doing. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

6. Caitlin D.
“Caitlin was my first ever go at using the Rover app & the first place my dogs have ever stayed without us. It felt as heavy hearted as leaving children with a sitter for the first time. I quickly realized that our 1.5 year old Corgi & 8 year old Black Lab were in the BEST of hands. Caitlin went ABOVE + BEYOND for our babies. Our Black Lab has severe separation anxiety due to being locked in a closet all of her puppyhood. She's attached to my hip and sleeps with us in our bed every night since we came in her life, always needing to be touching me in some way when sleeping. Caitlin knew of our dogs background & let our dog sleep on the sofa to be comfortable, attempting to give her a chance at some independence. She quickly realized that Iona (our black lab) was feeling way too anxious to be by herself. She didn't hesitate or have any i'll feelings towards Iona & compassionately chose to sleep on the couch with her. That spoke volumes to us. To show that much compassion for a dog that is only with you 1 night & you've never met prior to this.... was just stellar to us!!! I COULD NOT RECOMMEND CAITLIN MORE!! She was such a doll & so accommodating! She was able to take us on as her clients last minute, the day of. Such a beautiful soul inside and out! Thank you again Caitlin! Will be back ASAP! 10 out of 10!”
7. Hannah L.
“Nash had such a great time with Hannah. Before and during the stay she was very communicative. I got picture updates about how Nash was doing. Nash had a great time playing with her dog Duke, and he came home tired but very happy.”
8. Melissa L.
“Melissa did everything she could to make Chloe at home. Offered her food to he, gave her her medication, allowed her to use her "comfort pillow" and mat. Melissa allowed her access to her yard to get air, and take care of her needs. Unfortunately this was Chloe's first overnighter with anyone, and she didn't eat as well as if she'd been there before.”
9. Samantha V.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 and have always had a heart for animals. I now take care of my own farm and it is an absolute joy. I love animals and being able to provide services to people and their pets. I have a very flexible schedule to ensure your pet is getting the proper care and attention it deserves. Pets are family and deserve to be treated like it! I have two acres fenced in, so your pup can get plenty of fun and exercise. I have a golden retriever who loves to play with other dogs and will be happy to keep your pet company, along with an outdoor dog and cat on my farm. Your dog will have full access to my home and yard while being supervised, and can easily be crated if that is what you prefer.
10. Darah Q.
“Darah did a great job with Finn! She sent me photos showing him playing with her two dogs, and also sent me updates. Finn would have been happy to stay another day! Thanks, Darah!”
11. Lindsey H.
“I couldn't have ask for anything more. This was my dog's first time staying with a sitter and I wasn't sure how things would go but Lindsey's experience in boarding and working in kennels put my mind at ease and I knew my dog was in capable hands. She kept me updated the whole 5 days I was gone, sent photos and was overall great to work with. She is now my go to person in the future.”
12. Monica C.

14. Rumi S.

15. Wolfie J.

17. Jeffrey V.
“Jeff loves dogs & has been great walking & playing with my golden retriever . A former educator , he is reliable & trustworthy . He is retired and flexible with his free time , but stays busy playing competitive pickleball , so he's in good shape to care for an active pet . I would highly recommend him .”
18. Jamie D.
“Jamie and her sweet family has loved and cared for our sweet senior dog Gracie May so well that after the first stay, I was completely comfortable having Gracie there. She sent pictures, and often texted me to just say, “she’s doing great”. I feel like God sent the perfect family to care for until she is no longer with us. We lost our sitters for Gracie unexpectedly and I had to search for a new sitter. We found Jamie. I couldn’t be happier!!”
19. Emily C.
“Emily took our dog very last minute and even made time for a meet and greet before his stay with her. She was responsive and sent pictures of our pooch. I felt good knowing he was in such good hands! Her dog and kids were adorable.”
