“Stephanie and her family took such wonderful care of my Max! I’d been turned down by other sitters that weren’t comfortable that Max is a pit bull, and I was nervous as I’d never left him for any length of time. She sent me pictures and videos of him snuggling with her family, going on walks and playing in her back yard. I’m so glad we found her, and will definitely be requesting her services again.”
“Laura was amazing! Kept us informed through the weekend and sent pictures of our fur babies. Our dogs were very comfortable with her. We look forward to having her sit for us in the future. Glad to find a trustworthy sitter!”
“Summer did a great job with the my dogs. She has cats and dogs of her own and my dogs were so interested in their new friends that they almost didn't notice me leaving. I'll definitely use her again!”
“Jane was terrific. My dog had a relaxing experience. He loved her large fenced in yard. Jane sent me photos and comments reassuring me that he was being well cared for. I will definitely use chain again in the future and recommend her completely.”
“Shirley was magnificent in caring for my puppy dog. She went above and beyond my expectations. The reassurance she gave me, have made me excited about planning more trips without worrying about who will keep my precious puppy dog. Her entire family made Pushkin welcome in their home and surroundings. He really enjoyed Chance the dog of the home...”
“Christina K. was splendid! My fur baby was treated with care and I was updated during the stay at the perfect frequency. If you are ever in need of the perfect boarder, Christina is the perfect choice.”
“My 5month old high-energy Aussie did great at Damien’s house! He came back to me very happy and tired, having played with his dogs during his overnight stay. Very good communication, photos and videos during the stay. Kindly allowed me to pick up 30 minutes later than planned.”
“I really enjoyed meeting Sandra and she was so caring and loving to our fur babies. She kept me updated with pics and texts. I am new to Rover and wished I had met her sooner as we are moving out of State. Thank you Sandra for taking great care of Sage and Sequoia ? ?”
“She was amazing with my dog. He had the best time and she kept me up to date with pictures and how was doing each day. They were even very accommodating when I was running 30 minutes late as well. I would absolutely book with her again if she is available.”
About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl. Being raised on a 160 acre farm that includes.... horses, mules, dogs, cats and goats. I know animals are not just our “pets” but they are our family! I know what it’s like to be away at work or vacation and concerned if your dog is okay. Rest assured they would be in caring hands with me! I love to send photos/updates. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I’m available in the evenings (5pm to 9pm) and anytime on the weekends to help care for your doggos! I own my home and live in a subdivision, I do have a backyard but it is currently not fenced in. For this reason I’ve been prioritize more drop in visits for people and staying at your home instead of mine. Although with the right situation/pet, animals are welcome to stay at my home!
“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”
About: Taken care of animals since I was a kid. I absolutely love animals. They need someone to stand up for them and a voice willing to protect them. I'm a Army Veteran who is looking to keep busy. Hi, im here to take care care and support your loved one. I know what it means to have an animal as part of your family. I can take care of your animal as I do with my 2 Chihuahuas , with care and love. They will be well taken care of. I'm here to provide the best care as possible

About: I am the biggest animal lover! Everyone I know has relied on me to take care of their beloved fur-babies and you guys should too! I am new to Rover, but not new to animal care! I have had animals my whole life and pride myself in giving the best care. I currently am a high school social studies teacher. As an animal lover, however, I am very much looking forward to incorporating pet care into my daily schedule! I have had pets my whole life and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies! I live in an apartment with two cats—Princess and Lilly. I would be happy to provide in home boarding for your cats or drop in visits! My cats are a little indifferent on dogs, however, so it would take a meet and greet before deciding on boarding a dog! With that being said, I can do walks and drop ins before and after school and on weekends. I will be happy to help in whatever way I can!
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals and would be called many peoples go-to animal watcher when they go out of town! I also am training an ESA animal! I work full time, but I am always free in the evenings. If your dog can hangout alone while I’m at work then I will be perfect for you! I will follow all instructions from the owner and make sure they get updates on their furry friend! I will crate them when I leave the home if that’s what you want and will make sure they have pottied before I leave your home.

Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! I’m available most weekends and some evenings during the week.

“Sheridan was one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had. She really cares about the animals and it shows. She sent me pictures everyday and text me to let me know how my fur babies were doing. Sheridan went up and beyond what I asked of her. I felt completely comfortable with them being in her care. I always stress when I’m away but she made sure to keep in contact with me and she made sure to abide by my dogs routines. I will definitely be using her again. My dogs didn’t even want to come home!!”
