“Alyssa was amazing. She was kind, communicative and so so so great and communicative. I was stressed to part with Channing; but Alyssa was so wonderful and let me ramble on and on until I was ready to leave. She sent plenty of updates to ease my stress. Would highly recommend! Thank you thank you again!”
“Lavinia went above and beyond to take care of our fur baby. She was extremely attentive, caring, and patient. She sent us regular updates with lots of photos, so my husband and I were not worried about our dog at all. Our dog opened up to Lavinia so quickly, which is very rare and we appreciated that she took our dog on long walks even in rainy days! She also kept our house very clean. We would book her again without a doubt whenever we need to be out of town!!”
“This is the 2nd time that Ona was watched our dog and he loves her so much! We didn’t have to worry at about him at all when we went on vacation, and we came back to a clean house!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Mushu was very well cared for while we were out of town for a week. Dominic provided us a great piece of mind and we knew that our high-energy dog had all of his needs met!”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”
“5 Stars! Nikole was a very attentive and loving caregiver for our fur baby. She followed our instructions meticulously and gave us frequent updates with lovely photos. We will definitely be rebooking with Nikole.”
“John did a terrific job house sitting for us with our dog Ottie. He was responsible and communicative, and kept us well-informed throughout our trip. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Anika came to dog sit our two dogs (one adult and one puppy). She was so lovely and sweet - our dogs loved her. She was on time and provided photos throughout the day. We are very grateful to have found a trustworthy sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs of every kind since the summer of 2016. Family and friends have come to me to care for their fur babies when needed. If boarding , please note there are 3 children in the home ages 6,7,8 and 2 cats who’s shots are up to date as well ( the Yorkie in my first to photo is my late MJ, the other photos ,are of pups I’ve boarded/have done drop in visits over the last few months ) I currently don’t work right now , so I’m open to most schedules that I’m given .I offer discounts to veterans and/or pet owners with disabilities as well 🙏🏽 30$ for 2 -15 minute walks per day , plus feeding and play time if needed. MESSAGE FOR RATES AND DETAILS Your fur baby is guaranteed love and absolute care 💙🙏🏽 If needed I will walk them or bathe them. If yard is fenced in, I let them out a couple times during the day, feed them at allotted times or when needed. It also depends on the level of care your pet needs
“Anna was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and it was an extremely last minute situation — Anna was able to accommodate our needs and did a great job watching Chubb! She sent lots of updates with pictures and gave him all the love. We were admittedly a little nervous at first, again just since this is the first time we had a stranger watch our animal and stay in our house — but we could not have been happier with the outcome of this! She was also quite tidy and cleaned up very well, I will definitely be using this service / her again in the future :)”
“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”
“Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.”
“Nikki did such a great job watching Lakota! She took the time to come over and do a lengthy meet n’ greet so we were able to get to know each other and we could share details about Lakota. When we arrived back home the house was clean and Lakota was calm and I could tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Nikki for all of our dog watching needs in the future!”
“I thought to myself this morning how I barely worried about my cat during my five day vacation…. and it's because of Jada! She kept me updated throughout - let me know when she was leaving/going and sent plenty of pictures.. I 1000% recommend her! Thank you Jada!!”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”
“Barbara did a great job watching our dogs and cats for the weekend! She communicated well and sent frequent pictures, which really helped put my mind at ease. She took my dogs on lots of walks, which they loved and was patient with them while they got used to her. Highly recommend!”

Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.
Thank you so so much Jada for taking wonderful care of our very high maintenance animals! Pet sitting for a diabetic cat, an elusive cat, and a quirky dog who only walks where and when she wants to is not easy but they are all doing wonderful. Thank you again!
Rene was great! My petsitter plans for the weekend fell through last minute, so I was happy to find her. We only adopted our pup 5 mo ago, &, being a rescue from a puppy mill, she is still scared of new people. But I knew Rene would have the patience & kindness needed for her. Rene stayed at the house, so my dog & cat had plenty of attention. And Rene kept in contact with me, including sending me pictures. She will be the one I contact next time I need a pet sitter!
Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!
Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.
