“Azure is amazing. I am very grateful she took great care of my big baby while my family and I were out of town. Azure was very helpful, kind, and very communicative throughout Bears stay with her. 10/10 experience”

“Jennifer and her family were amazing. She took wonderful care of our sometimes anxious pups. She even made sure they took their medicine and felt safe during a thunderstorm. Her home was clean and well-equipped for dog sitting. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”


“Kristin was amazing. She sent lists of pictures and compliments about Boo. Upon meeting Kristin I didn't have any worries. You could tell she loved animals and was very organized. Her house is adorable and the yard was in pristine condition.”

“Our experience with Emily was great! She sent plenty of pictures and let us know how our pup was doing. Never had to worry about her and could just enjoy our trip! Emily's dogs were great playmates and very patient with our girl's puppy energy lol. Pick up and drop off was very quick and easy! Would definitely recommend.”

“Very nice and very sweet! My dogs are pretty anxious but they were more than fine with her! Heard they got a lot of cuddles and play time which shows with how tired they are at home! Appreciate how much my dogs were loved !”

“My dog Scarlett has a hard time being left at kennels and being around other dogs scares her sometimes. She felt very comfortable around Mindy and Carter when she spent a week with them and gave us piece of mind also. She also looked to love their big yard too.”

“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”
“"Heather was absolutely wonderful with Lucky! It’s never easy leaving him, but she made me feel so comfortable. He was well-loved and well-cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!"”

“Sara did an excellent job communicating and working with our hectic schedule. Our roadtrip included major vehicle repairs, and thankfully Sara was super flexible. We highly recommend her care for dogs.”

“Heather is very reliable. I’ve used her several times and am happy with her care! She’s very responsive and timely to my inquiries. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I've been around dogs ever since I was a child. I rarely come across a dog that I don't like or that doesn't like me! I currently do dog sitting and walking for friends and family and would love to expand my services to others looking for high quality dog care. I work part-time so I usually have a very flexible schedule with a lot of availability. Mornings through afternoons are usually the best times . I meet the needs of the dog owner when watching dogs in a client's home. I understand that dogs can have varying needs/schedules. I feel comfortable giving dogs necessary medicines and meeting any special needs. I can go the extra mile to make sure your dog(s) are happy and safe. I've even saved a dog that fell in a pool once!
“I definitely recommend Kayla, she took care of my labrador puppy Arya for 4 nights. When I brought Arya she did not walk with her leash because she did not want to and when I went to look for her Kayla had taught her. Kayla take care of her with a lot of love, teach her new things, trained Arya and help her share with other dogs and cats. I am very satisfied and happy to be able to entrust the care of my baby Arya to such a committed person. Arya was really happy and have a great time, Kayla even give her new toys!!”

“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them! I have experience caring for my own Goldendoodle, Ruger, and understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow each dog’s individual routine and needs. I currently work night shifts, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m home during the day and can be flexible with drop-offs, pick-ups, and care routines. I live in an apartment with several walking trails right in my backyard, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and exploring! In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, bathroom, and exercise routines so they feel right at home.
“For my first time ever using Rover, Carli is a great option! She sent lots of photos and multiple updates, which i greatly appreciated! Will definitely be booking with carli again! Loved the experience!”


“Alexis E. Did an amazing job. I chose her for her ratings and she delivered! Communication was exceptional. Libby (my goldendoodle) got to socialize with peers and was in 'dog heaven' with Alexis. Loved that Libby had huge fenced area to run and play! Alexis was a treasure!”

About: Hi! I’m Alexis an avid dog lover. I have two pets of my own, and lots of experience with animals. I am pet first aid and CPR certified through Purdue university, I have 5+ years of dog training and behavior experience, and I also worked as a veterinary technician assistant for 1 year and gained valuable animal husbandry and care skills. I’d love to hangout with your pup! I run my own pet brand where I work from home so I am able to host dogs, or come visit your pup any day of the week and anytime. I can make my schedule fit with yours! I live in a good neighborhood where we can take leashed walks, or drive to a nearby park to play. I can crate dogs or let them free roam, I have two other dogs to keep your pets company or I have the ability to keep them seperate if that’s what’s needed. For in home visits I can do anything you require!
“Evan and her family did a wonderful job with Otto! We had no worries at all with him in her care. We appreciated the frequent updates with how he was doing and all of the fun exercise and activities he was taking part in. We will definitely be using Evan for future trips!”

“We had a great experience with Amber. She was always quick to answer and flexible with our schedule to drop off/pick up. She kept us updated with pictures of Ginger and was very kind. Her dog Tater and Ginger had a great time together! We would definitely recommend her.”

Natalie is such a great care giver to our dog! He loves going to see her and her daughter, and is always smiling in the picture updates she sends. Sometimes his anxiety gets high and he eats less, but Natalie is so good at giving him love and time and ensures he gets at least a meal or snack in. I can always trust that my boy is in good hands with her. Thank you for the wonderful care you give- and for giving daily updates! We appreciate you!

Mindy and Carter were absolutely lovely! Macy and Olive had the best time staying with them and loved getting to play and spend time in their beautiful, fenced in backyard. From the moment we arrived, I felt completely comfortable and knew my girls were in great hands. Their home is beautiful, welcoming, and such a great environment for dogs. Having just moved to the area, I’m so happy and relieved to have found people I can trust with Macy and Olive. They clearly felt right at home, and I know they already can’t wait to go back! I would absolutely recommend Mindy and Carter to anyone looking for wonderful, trustworthy sitters
Melissa took our two pups on super short notice and they had the best time. She sent many updates with pictures which weren’t necessary but absolutely appreciated for anxiety ridden moms like me. Will definitely be using her again for future trips and am thankful for how well she took care of our dogs.
