“Rosalia cared for our dog Winnie for 3 weeks while we took a dream vacation. It was pretty hard for us to feel good about leaving Winnie for so long, but Rosalia made it easy with daily updates. It was clear to us that Winnie was having a great time, which enabled us to have a good time on our trip. Thanks Rosalia!”

“My dog and I met Cindy and her dog before we boarded with her for the first time. It was apparent right away that she was capable of providing a good, caring home environment for my dog. I felt very comfortabke knowing he would be in the best place away from home. My 12 year old dog takes daily meds that were adminustered properly. He ate his meals,was abke to go into the yard and enjoyed her glass front door to look out. I highly recommend Cindy as a dog sitter and have booked our next visit She is the type of person you can feel confident leaving your beloved pets with.”

“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

“Apollo can be a handful with his anxiety and reactivity, and Bri handled it beautifully. They had a rocky first night, because he kept barking at every small noise. After several hours of this, he had her a bit worried about whether or not she could get him to settle down and sleep. But she stuck with it and got him to calm down and pass out. From there the visit went great. She followed our feeding and medication instructions exactly, worked on some training with him during his stay, and did a nice job with redirecting his attention when he got reactive on walks. Communication was excellent throughout. I received regular photos and updates, and she flagged any concerns as they came up rather than letting them sit. The best sign of how the weekend went: at pickup, Apollo planted himself on and between her feet multiple times while we were talking about how the weekend went. He clearly trusts and adores her, which can be difficult given his anxiety. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me so much joy. I’ve had the honor of caring for all kinds of pets, including cats and dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful pups full of energy to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet for who they are. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. ❤️ I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I want every pet I watch to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their individual needs, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is not only to take care of your pet, but to make sure they have a happy, comfortable experience while they’re with me. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want someone to give mine. 🐾💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my family is my biggest priority, but I also wanted to find a way to continue contributing while doing something that genuinely brings me joy. Pet care has been the perfect fit for my life because it allows me to be present for my family while also opening my home and heart to caring for other people’s beloved pets. For me, Rover isn’t just a way to earn extra income—it’s a way to contribute, connect with animals, and do something I genuinely love while being there for my family. 🐾❤️ Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our family while they’re here. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats who are comfortable around other pets. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and handled safely with leashes. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.

“I recently entrusted Shell with the responsibility of watching over my pet ghost, and I must say, she did an absolutely fantastic job. Not everyone has the expertise or the calm demeanor to handle the care of an ethereal companion, but Shell exceeded all expectations. From the moment I handed over my ghost, Shell's attention to detail was evident. She made sure to understand ghost's particular habits and needs, ensuring that the environment remained just right for a happy haunt. Her understanding of the supernatural, combined with her warm and reassuring presence, put both my ghost and me at ease. During the time Shell was in charge, ghost was not only well-cared for but also seemed to thrive. I received updates on how things were going, which included thoughtful insights into ghost’s mood and activities—something only a true ghost-sitter would think to do! Shell's care was both compassionate and professional. She handled the things with ease, making sure ghost remained content and well-occupied. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed her time ghost-sitting, which made me feel even more confident in my choice. In summary, Shell is not just a ghost-sitter; she's a ghost-whisperer. Her dedication, expertise, and passion for her work make her the perfect caretaker for any spectral pet. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring individual to watch over their ghostly friends. Thank you, Shell, for doing such an outstanding job!”

“Would book again! Megan was a gem! I She took care of my two chi-poos for 3 nights. She’s friendly, respectful, and caring. When I dropped off my two girls, her kiddos and senior dog eagerly greeted my pack. Her dog is calm and tolerant to my more vocal chihuahua - which is always a must when I am looking for a boarder! Megan was attention to the particular needs of each of my dogs. She administered eye drops with no issues. Her kiddos entertained my girls with fetch, cuddles, and attention per the photos I received! She was accommodating, communicative, and responsive the whole weekend! Overall, I feel confident in recommending her to anyone looking for a loving and safe place to leave their fur babies!”

Buddy and I were very comfortable with Josh, his communication, his expertise and his friendly demeanor were excellent. I liked that Josh has a large backyard where the dogs can roam around. Buddy enjoyed running around with Blitzen and the other dogs although they were bigger than him, lol! I will not hesitate to utilize Josh's dog sitting services again and when he is available.

It was hard trying to find someone to care for my 7 year old Maltese, Cooper. He has separation anxiety and this was the first time that he was staying with anyone other than family. We took him to meet Rosalia to make sure they and Rosalia's dog, Kiki, were ok with each other. That was a good visit. Cooper and Kiki were both pretty mild mannered. I was confident that Cooper would be fine with her. I was more than happy to hear from her each day with comments and pictures. Looking at the pictures, it was obvious to me that Cooper was feeling a little shy but comfortable. After one day he was eating with her which is not normal, even when he stays with family. He usually sleeps and doesn't eat until I get back. Rosalia has a soft and gentle demeanor which works for him. And it is obvious she has a way with dogs and probably with most animals. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Rosalia.

Jason stayed in touch and sent pictures of Boogie having a good time on walks and hanging out. Boogie gets anxious and bored when he stays at the kennel, but this time he was happy and calm when I picked him up. He was obviously well cared for and had a great time with Jason and his new doggy friends!

Michael took care of my three dogs for 12 days and did a wonderful job from start to finish. When my flight got delayed, he was able to add on an extra day without any hassle, which took a huge weight off my mind while I was traveling. I picked up three very happy dogs. If you're looking for someone reliable and genuinely good with dogs, Michael is your guy. Highly recommend!
