“So, relying on folks we knew as reliable dog/house sitters hasn’t worked out well for us. So I thought “I’ll use a service.” Perhaps paying folks I don’t know - and who will rely on my review of their service as a means to obtain more business - and truly treating this as a business transaction, would be a better route than assuming all of my friends love my babies as much as I do. I chose Tracy solely based upon his large number of positive reviews. Tracy was all business, and I appreciated it. As a first time customer he made time to stop by and meet me and the pups and let me show him around the house. We agreed upon the time he would spend here, and that he would take my puppy back to his house for the night. And what we agreed upon is exactly what happened. I got regular updates and he humored me through my constant texts. I never waited longer than a few minutes to get a reply from him. It was equally refreshing to come home after being gone all night and have it seem as though nobody had been in my house, and to have the dogs happy, calm and content. Thank you Tracy!”
“Lisa did a great job watching our two boys. They adapted to her quickly, not usual for Shelties. Fun to see them so well cared for when we returned. Def gave us peace of mind as we negotiated out of town surgery w/o having to worry about Mac and Fionn. Would def have Lisa again.”
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
“We are so thankful to have found Bree. She provided constant updates and was always willing to check in more if we wanted. We will 100% be using her for our extended vacations.”
“The most marvelous dog and cat sitter ever!!!!!! Stephanie made me not worry at all on our vacation!!! I would use her anytime I need someone! Top notch!”
“Amy was amazing! We have a 15 year old bichon who gets anxious when we are not home. Amy was so good to our little guy! He warmed right up to her! Amy was a fantastic house guest. We would definitely use Amy again and I would highly recommend her.”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies. Followed all directions and asked questions when things werent clear. She let me know whenever she was leaving the house and when she was expecting to return.”
About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.
“Great in home sitter. Very attentive and responsive to our dog's needs. Regular communication and updates. We were gone for 2 weeks and felt very comfortable the entire time leaving our pup with Sami. Would book again.”
“Hannah helped me out with a last minute request when my sitter got COVID. She was awesome!! Kept me updated and took great care of my pets. Highly recommend booking with Hannah!”
“Samantha was such a great house sitter!! She stayed with my two beagles and geriatric cat for a full week. She successfully managed their shenanigans and was very communicative the whole time, sending me pictures and updates. She also took great care of the house. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!!”
“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”
About: Book your dog a vacation with me at my Doggy Vacay, while you vacation! I have fostered and boarded pups of all ages and breeds. I have a real love for training and rehabilitating pups to be a blessing to their families. I keep pets on a routine and am familiar with enrichment activities. My home will be your dog's home away from home where they will be spoiled with love, play time, and trained on manners using only positive encouragement. I work a hybrid schedule where I am in office 2-3 days per week (mon-wed) and remote 2-3 days per week (some Mondays and every Thur Fri). There is another adult in the home who is often available for mid-day potty breaks and play breaks on those couple days I am gone. During the summer I have even greater availability. I have a large fenced in yard with two of my own fur babies who are so gentle and playful if your dog enjoys company. I can also give your dog it's very own space in the house with their crate door left open and access to their food/water in my kitchen/dining area. My home has multiple living spaces and my two dogs are crate trained as well.
“Tonie is great! We have some high-maintenance animals and she handled their care perfectly. So, so happy because we had a not so great pet care experience in the past with a different sitter, so we were nervous to try again. Tonie came over and met the animals, saw the house, asked all the right questions. We are very happy she was there to care for our dog and two cats! Also loved all the pictures we got!”
About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!
“Lydia didn't exceptional job watching our dog, Fiona! She was very helpful when I needed to extend our trip and have her watch Fiona longer. She did a great job with Fiona!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and have experience with young pers and senior animals! I love getting to know that they are well taken care of. I love to be able to spend my free time with animals and working with them, whether that be pet sitting, walking, or just hanging out with them! In homes, I will make sure that pets are able to use the bathroom as they please, and I will follow the feeding schedule provided to me. I will use only treats that are provided, and use them sparingly!
About: Hi, I'm Rheagan! As a lifelong animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, caring for pets is second nature to me. I've had the joy of living with and looking after a variety of animals over the years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and quiet environment, I adapt to meet their needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in building trust through patience, kindness, and respect-just like I do with my own fur family. I'd love the opportunity to meet your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve while you're away! I currently have a limited schedule to weekends. If you need services outside of that, feel free to send a request and I’ll let you know if I’m available. I am currently available for sittings, walks, and drop-ins Friday - Sunday 7am - 11pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and follow routines that keep tails wagging and paws relaxed. With lots of love, attention, and respect for your pet’s needs, I treat every animal like my own.

Natalie S.
“I’ve yet to meet someone who loves dogs as much as she does. She takes the time to train them (crate, sit, down, shake, heel/touch, and even to ring bells on the door when needing to go out) and she excels at it. I know she has been fostering dogs for quite awhile and always makes sure the dog is ready for its eventual owners. Even if it came from a bad situation, is weeks/months old, and even if deaf. I would highly recommend her for anything dog related!”

Carter & Mindy D.
“I can't say enough good things about Carter and Mindy! My dog is very old and extremely scared of strangers, so I was nervous about leaving her with someone. But Carter and Mindy were absolutely wonderful, kind, gentle, attentive and incredibly patient. They really took the time to make her feel comfortable and by the end of the stay she loved having them around. It was such a relief knowing she was in such caring hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters!”

Lofton Woods pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bree was absolutely fantastic! We hired Bree for a weekend trip and she was everything we could ask for. She met us prior to leaving to get comfortable with our dog and home; she was very responsive throughout our time away including many photos of our animals and updates. Awesome feeling coming home to a happy dog! Thank you Bree
Stephanie was great to work with! Always gave plenty of updates throughout the day about the dogs and sent pictures of them as well! This was the longest time we have left someone with our pets and I am so thankful that Stephanie was the one watching them. She treated them as her own and our house was left just as we left it! Will definitely use Stephanie again and recommend her for any services!
This was the second time Natalie watched our girls and she was just as wonderful as the first! She stayed with them, gave them so much love, and we could tell they were so happy and well cared for when we got home. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such great hands—we’ll definitely continue booking with her!
