“Adonis and Kristina were wonderful hosts for Nikki for her first Rover experience. Nikki is a picky eater and can be a handful, but they were very patient and caring and kept me updated with notes and photographs. I hope to use them again if they have capacity.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in on, feed, walk, and play with their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m currently balancing caregiving responsibilities while building a new business, which gives me a flexible schedule. I have availability for weekday walks, drop-ins, and visits, as well as weekend boarding with advance scheduling. I’m able to give pets plenty of individual attention and care. I have a small fenced-in yard and one friendly dog who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, attention, and care.
“Stephen and family were wonderful caretakers. My dog instantly felt comfortable with them. I greatly appreciated Stephen's communication, flexibility, and questions to better get to know Bodhi. Knowing my dog was in a great place where he was being cared for and loved helped me enjoy my vacation even more. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Will definitely use again!”
“Kim, Sean and their kids are amazing! We knew right from the meet & greet that our pup would love spending time with their family. Our Quinn was happy, well cared for and very tired when she got home from all the play. Glad we found you guys as our new sitters!”
“Leslie went over and above to make sure my pup felt comfortable and happy. Brookie Rose had a wonderful 10 day stay. I received pics and updates during her stay. Thanks again, Leslie😘”
“Shannon and her boys are so good with our two dogs!! They always come home happy and tired from all the playing and walks. We get regular updates and pictures which we greatly appreciate.”
About: I love taking care of our friends' dogs when they are away on travel! We don't have pets of our own so we can give your pup all the care and attention they crave based on their own needs and personality! I currently have a lot of flexibility to care for your pups! I'm available for walks and boarding most weekends, as well as weekday early mornings and evenings. I have a small, fenced yard and will commit to being at home while watching your pup! They will get as many walks and all the attention they want!
“Kellan and his pup, Yoshi, were the most awesome host for our 3 year old pittie mix, Prudence. Kellan took her on adventures and we felt like she was cared for just as well as she is at home. Kellan was great at sending us updates and communicating as well. We will definitely book again!”
About: I’m certified in K9 CPR and First Aid and have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, from family pets to high-drive working breeds. I grew up working at a dog grooming and boarding facility and have continued building my experience through dog sports, training, and rescue work. I partner with Malinois and Dutch Shepherd rescue organizations and occasionally take on foster and rehabilitation cases. I also actively compete in dog sports with my own dogs. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a seasoned sport dog, or a professional couch snuggler, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I can help maintain their existing routines and training or simply provide a safe, comfortable, and loving place to stay. I work from home and intentionally accept just one guest dog at a time so your pup gets plenty of individualized attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work from home, which allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and provide plenty of attention throughout your dog’s stay. I intentionally accept only one guest dog at a time so I can focus on their individual needs, maintain their routine, and help them settle in comfortably. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, companionship throughout the day, and a balance of activity and downtime based on their energy level and preferences. I can accommodate their usual feeding schedule, walks, medications, and other care routines. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here! I work from home and welcome one guest dog at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention throughout their stay. I have two friendly dogs of my own, but I tend to keep them separate unless discussed prior to your stay. I live an active lifestyle and can accommodate dogs who enjoy walks, outdoor adventures, and plenty of activity, as well as dogs who prefer a slower pace and cozy downtime. My goal is to match your dog’s routine and energy level rather than expect every dog to fit the same mold. I’m happy to maintain your dog’s existing house rules, routines, and training. I can also administer medications and provide regular potty breaks. We have access to fenced areas within walking distance for outdoor time. I do ask that boarding dogs be crate-trained, as this helps me safely manage introductions, downtime, and the occasional errand. You’re welcome to bring your dog’s own crate, bed, and favorite belongings to help them feel at home. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of individual attention.
“Margaret is a go-to sitter for our dog. We've used her 3 times now and have had pleasant experiences each time. She communicates promptly and is someone we will continue using in 2023.”
“Barbara was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Remy while I was out of town and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed Remy. I would definitely book with Barbara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Sami & Joel were wonderful with our two dogs! Their home and backyard were very dog friendly and I know that our furbabies enjoyed the time they spent in their home while we were away. Both came home so very tuckered out! Sami and Joel were very responsively and sent lots of pictures which helped put our minds at ease while we were out of the country for the holiday. Highly recommend.”
“Justina is fantastic!!! So helpful and flexible as some of my travel plans shifted. So glad we were able to meet and I could tell my dog loved staying with her.”
“Rui was so attentive and loving towards Millie! It was so nice knowing that Millie was comfortable and settled, while also getting lots of exercise and play time! Will definitely book with Rui again. Thank you!!”
“We had an amazing experience with Rebecca! She is very professional, communicative, and truly caring. Our dog, Milo, was well taken care of, happy, and healthy throughout our vacation. Rebecca provided regular updates and photos, that made the kids’ day while away . We highly recommend Rebecca and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Lauren and Matt we an excellent choice for our fur babies. We received lots of updates, pictures and knew how our family was doing every step of the way. I will 100% rebook with these amazing people!”
“Elizabeth watched our 2 dogs for a week and a half while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures and/or videos daily and was very quick to respond to all communications. My old boy is super easy but my young female dog can be a handful and has hit the phase where she feels the need to challenge other female dogs, so I was a little nervous since one of Elizabeth's dogs is female. She and her partner reassured me that they would keep them separate if needed, would never leave them home alone in the same room, and would control their interactions until they became more comfortable with each other. I'm so grateful that they watched my dogs because after a few days, I was getting pictures/videos of our girls playing and laying together which gave me hope for my little wild one's future interactions with other females! Thanks for doing such a great job with my babies!”

If you are looking for a wonderful, responsible, and enjoyable place for your dogs to stay when you are away, look no further than a stay with Heather and her family. My two dogs were obviously so well cared for during my trip. Heather made the whole process stress-free and I never worried about them once. (and I am typically a worrier when it comes to my dogs). Very highly recommend Heather and her family! 🐾❤️
We couldn’t be happier with the care rio received while we were away! Valeria welcomed him into her home and treated him like one of her own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for\. Her communication was wonderful, and we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter and will absolutely use her again.
Charissa was great with Cody during his first stay with her. He was a little more challenging in a new place and with new people, but Charissa’s messages made it all seem like things were going just fine. I appreciated that she did let me know what was happening, but I never felt like she couldn’t handle it. Loved all the photos she sent and would definitely use her again (if she’ll have Cody)!
My girls had a BLAST at Robyn’s house! Robyn is very kind and loving to my dogs, her dog was also very friendly and playful. I was able to leave for the weekend without worrying about my girls because I knew they were in good hands. They got to learn a new skill of using a doggy door ! And got to enjoy a spacious and safe fenced in backyard while I was away. We will definitely book with Robyn again
Jessica and her family were amazing with my dog Maverick! I was nervous to leave him for an extended stay, but I was always provided with updates and pictures and he was so well taken care of. Jessica stayed on top of all of his medications and handled his medical needs with lots of attention and care. I would definitely let Maverick stay again and would recommend her to anyone!
Brian was so wonderful with my boy, Ludo. He was responsive, flexible, attentive, and able to attune to Ludo's needs. He sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell from the photos that Ludo was relaxed and having a great time. Will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter. Thanks, Brian!
Another wonderful stay with Irina for Otto! She was very accommodating of a last-minute request for sitting, as well as a change in pickup date. Communication is perfect as always, Otto absolutely adores Irina. If Irina is available she will ALWAYS be our first choice for Otto.
