“Jenn and Brian were outstanding. I gave them a long list of details about my puppy and they were able to accommodate everything. I was given a bunch of pictures throughout the day of him having a great time. Burned all his energy and had a bunch of fun. Didn’t want to leave as we were pulling away! Would highly recommend.”


“Jessie is such a sweet person, a true dog-lover. She is super flexible with pickup/drop-off hours! I’m very grateful that she was able to watch him during my long work days - 6:30a to 8p. She took our pup, Vincent outside for a bunch of playtime, and got him tuckered out for bedtime. Our pup is great with kids, and had a lot of fun playing with Jessie’s kids. She’s very responsive with messaging and sends lots of videos. Our dog’s balls inevitably rolled under her furniture while he was playing with them (always happens at our house too), so they were missing for a day, but she found them soon after and returned them. Vincent was excited to see her each morning we brought him back, so I’d say he had a great time.”


“Mindy is an excellent, patient and understanding dog sitter. She watched our puppy for a few days, and made more progress with his loose leash walking than we’ve managed to! She’s a real animal lover, and it shows. Our puppy was super exited to see her when I dropped him off on his third day with her. He got to play in the backyard with other dogs, get accustomed to cats thanks to Mindy’s social Bengal mix, and got plenty of walks, exercise and cozy naps. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day.”


“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”


“Always a great day at Bev’s! Oscar enjoyed himself and we were able to take care of home improvement activities and rest assured he was safe and well engaged.”


“Kimberly is super kind and chill. She watched my dog even though he had a cone. She kept me posted on how he was doing and was prompt at responding. I'll definitely be using her again!”


About: I bring a calm, confident energy that pets naturally respond to. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog who needs a gentler approach. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs, special routines, and administering medications if needed. What really sets me apart is my attention to detail and the love I put into everything I do. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique habits and needs so they feel safe and at ease. I also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can offer plenty of bathroom breaks, play sessions, and supervision—especially helpful for puppies, senior pets, or dogs with separation anxiety. Caring for animals adds so much joy to my routine, and I truly love making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine. Mealtimes, walks, play, and rest. So they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I treat the space with respect and make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to. In my home, pets have a safe, cozy space to relax, with lots of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I keep things clean, quiet, and low-stress, and I always provide regular updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“My dog looks like he has had a great time with Cynthia. Cynthia was very responsive and flexible. She had a dog friendly house and knew how to take care of my dog. She was honest saying that my dog was nervous and uneasy at first. This is really helpful. Even though my booking was last minute, she accommodated all my needs.”


About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.

“Our pup Avocado had a blast with Beth’s three dogs, each of whom was an excellent host. Beth was responsive and caring, and exceptionally kind and understanding when Avocado had tummy issues due to the fact that he (unbeknownst to us at the time) ate some food that disagreed with him before we dropped him off.”


“This was a last minute booking and Holly was more than eager to watch our Anakin. Holly was a delight to meet, very friendly, outgoing, and personable. She was great with Anakin and sent us updates, pictures throughout the day and had him play with her dog and asked if she could give him things before providing anything. Holly made us feel at ease and Anakin was very happy when we picked him up and even got a new toy which he has not let go. We highly recommend Holly for your pet care needs and will use her again if we’re in the area. Thank you Holly!”


“Michele was very attentive for the two doggy care sessions she provided pup Bella so I could sightsee while my dog was lovingly cared for and had companionship of the owner’s dog too for two days.”


About: I have many many years of dog care experience. I grew up with high-strung Dalmations, raised children with Golden Retrievers , loved many Heinz-57s, and am currently a senior with a fabulous Golden Doodle. I’m a stay at home experienced “”Mom” who loves to work around the house (both inside and out) with my four legged friends as companions. On occasion I may make a run to Wegman’s however that kind of errand can be scheduled around my care of your dog. Our dog Chai is an integral member of our family. Chai usually follows me around both inside and outside the house. She loves having play dates with other dogs and is skilled at modifying her behavior to best suit her friends.

“Erica made my 1st experience so comfortable. I was so nervous about this whole process, but from the meet and greet, all my nervousness and uncertainty melt away like ice cream. I'm so glad I chose her to be my sitter for my Bella. I know my upcoming boarding appointment will be a smooth transition. Thanks Erica!!!”


“Ashley is a wonderful sitter. She takes into account all my pups special needs and is almost always available on weekends which hard to come by on Rover. I definitely recommend her and Lucy loves going back to her house.”


“My pup is like my child and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate knowing that she is in excellent hands when she is with Jordyn. Jordyn’s home is a fun and safe home-away-from-home for my dog. Thank you Jordyn!!”


“Jacquie and her family were great! It was Brody’s first time being away from us and he seemed to have a great time with his new friends, Rufus and Grandpa. I’m very happy I choose Jacquie to take care of Brody. Brody will be planning his sleepover soon!”


“Monica was great! She was available and super wiling on short notice! It was my first time using Rover and I was not at home but actually in a new city. I wasn’t sure hit I really needed a hand so I gave her a shot! She was great, kept me posted and updated the whole time. I think my doggo had a good time because she was real tired when I picked her up lol, slept the whole way! Definitely will book Monica again when I’m in the area.”


“Bailey took wonderful care of my pup today! He had such a great time, and I could tell he was immediately comfortable and at ease with Bailey. She is very gentle, and so good with animals. Also, my pup has some health and spinal issues, and I felt totally comfortable leaving him in Bailey’s care. We’ll definitely be booking with Bailey again soon — highly recommend!”



“Kimberly was very quick to respond! She even got back to me fast after my sitter cancelled last minute. My dog's loved her! She took them out for walks and let them play all day. She sent updates and pictures every few hours as well. When my pups came home they were exhausted and slept through the night. She is very sweet and bubbly. I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a sitter.”
