“I’m so glad I found Carolyn! She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our dog Tucker. She sent video and photo updates and made me feel much better while I was out of town. 10/10 recommend.”
“Best dog sitter in the area. She provided constant updates and made sure my dog had everything he needed while I was away. My puppy had so much fun, I was scared that he wouldn’t want to come home. She took care of him like he was her own, and that’s all I could have asked for. Thank you for your hospitality and compassion Chelsea! 10/10!!!”
“Teresa and Paul were fantastic with my 2 dogs for an extended weekend trip! My son was nervous about leaving them but they kept us informed with updates and pictures about how they were doing. My dogs were very comfortable with them and enjoyed their time!”
“As usual Buster Brown came home healthy and happy. I know Katie B and family make him feel right at home. Thank you for loving him while I’m away. Feels so good knowing my sweet boy is in good hands.”
“Ben did an outstanding job taking care of my little 15 year old miniature Doberman. He provided scrappy with many walks and sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated on how scrappy was doing. I would definitely recommend letting Ben watch your fur babies, as he is very accommodating and understanding with any of your pet needs.”
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
“I was very happy with the care my fur baby received. He stayed with Ms. Phyllis for a week and there were no problems. This was Osiris's first time being away from home and I wasn't sure how it would work out, but he had a good time. I received pictures and updates daily to let me know how he was doing, which calmed my nerves, and isn't something you get with a kennel. We will definitely use Ms. Phyllis again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve raised puppies from the ground up and currently care for two energetic, lovable dogs of my own — a Lab Collie mix and a German Shorthair Pointer. I understand the importance of exercise, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s puppy playtime, long walks, or keeping a consistent routine, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m confident with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care every time. I work part-time during the day, which gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. On weekends and evenings, I’m usually outdoors or spending quality time with my dogs, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits in perfectly. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy and build into my lifestyle. When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I provide a calm, dog-friendly environment where pups can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. My dogs are well-socialized, and I make slow, supervised introductions to ensure everyone gets along. I keep my space clean and secure, with plenty of room for play and quiet areas for rest. I stick to the routines pets are used to — feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a quick visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and cared for like one of my own.
“Wonderful experience! Blake went above and beyond taking my dog Lola into her home and looking after her. While on my short vacation, Blake updated me regularly throughout the days that I was away with photos and messages of what my pup was up to. Knowing that Lola was in great hands made the transition seamless and easy. Would recommend Blake to anyone who needs a reliable dog sitter!”
“I cannot recommend Brenna highly enough! They took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—my dogs took to them right away, which says a lot! Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates, photos, and even a video, which made being away from my pups so much easier. It was clear they treated my dogs like part of the family—with walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I returned, my dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to watch your dog, look no further. I’ll absolutely be booking with Brenna again!”
“Alyssa and her family were wonderful yet again (this was our dogs’ second visit). Alyssa is fantastic. I believe that she genuinely cares about our dogs and us. She stays in touch during their stay and is always very responsive and flexible when needed. If you’re looking for great people to watch your fur babies, look no further! Thank you for all that you do!!”
“This was our first time using rover with our 1 year old Goldendoodle Callie. We couldn’t have been happier with how things turned out. Katherine was great she was very responsive and sent pictures and updates everyday. she was welcoming and mindful of Callies habits. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her in the future.”
About: I've worked in the Dog training and handling industry for the last 5 years. So I know how to handle all different types of quirks and personalities. I live On-Post with a fenced back yard. I can accommodate a dog crate with a variety of different toys! I've taken care of a large variety of breeds big and small. Anything between a sweet couch dog and dogs who love to run and play I can handle it! I work full time but take time out of my day to ensure dogs are let out for breaks throughout the day. I can take dogs for walks either before or after work and on the weekends. On days with fair weather the back door can be left open with a screen to allow dogs access outside throughout the day as well. I have a crate at the house if it is needed. My back yard is fenced with a locked gate. I have two female dogs at the house that are extremely friendly, but can separate if need be to accommodate your pet.
“First time having to use Rover for dog boarding and I was nervous but Eli and Mar made the whole experience safe and fun for our fur bebe. They really took care of her and went above and beyond. Our bebe Nala had fun socializing with couple other dogs and had a lot of playing time. They followed her routine instructions very well and Nala even got a polaroid picture and an artwork at the end of the day. Thank you again so much Eli and Mar!”
“Diamond was very professional, kind, and communicative with us while our boy Koda was staying with her! We received pictures and updates frequently and he looked happy in every photo! Our Koda can be very timid around new people, but he made himself at home right away with Diamond and loved playing with her dogs. We recommend Diamond to anyone who is looking for an attentive and experienced caretaker for their pets!”
“I highly recommend Christina to watch your dog. She is knowledgeable and organized. Her kids help love your dog! She is flexible and helpful. My dog obviously loved staying with Christina’s family!”

Aaliyah L.
“Aaliyah has always had the most genuine love and compassion for animals. From a young age, it was clear that caring for pets wasn’t just a hobby for her it was part of who she is. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even the occasional stray she finds, Aaliyah treats every animal with kindness, patience, and respect. Her ability to connect with pets is truly special. She understands their needs, picks up on their moods, and provides them with the comfort and care they deserve. What sets her apart is how deeply she values the bond between humans and animals. She’s not just a pet lover she’s a true guardian and advocate for their well-being. Any animal that crosses paths with Aaliyah is lucky, and anyone who entrusts her with their pet can rest assured they’re in the best hands possible.”
