“Returning client! Our dog settles right in at Rachel’s which tells me she’s comfortable and at ease. Rachel sends daily updates and the peace of mind we have while we are away from home without our dog is such a relief. We’ll be back again!”

“When I met Jon and Natalie, I knew they would be great dog sitters and I was right. They treated my dog as if she were their own. I’m very thankful for the excellent care they provided and it’s comforting to know that I don’t need to worry about my dog when I’m away from home. Thanks Jon and Natalie!”

“Jenny was wonderful! She was so responsive and took great care of our dog Koda over a holiday weekend. We almost had a change of plans and she was very flexible and understanding as we figured things out. Her pup Mango played great with Koda and they had lots of room to run around in their awesome fenced in backyard. He came home happy and tired! We definitely plan to use her services again and would recommend her to anyone looking for boarding for their fur babies.”

“Robert was incredible to work with. He picked up and dropped off Woofly for us and sent lots of pictures during his stay. He was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pup. We’d happily send Woofly back to him again. Thank you, Robert!”

“Shontay did a great job taking care of our 2 pugs while we were away on vacation! She is a very kind, thoughtful, loving dog mama. She really knows how to take care of dogs. We highly recommend Shontay as a dog sitter!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to big ones. Before PA school, I raised a golden retriever from puppyhood to adulthood and handled everything hands-on: crate training, basic commands, daily walks, feeding, grooming, and vet visits, including emergencies. That experience taught me how to stay calm and act quickly when something isn’t right. What sets me apart is my medical background. Before every stay, I’ll ask about your dog’s usual appetite, energy, and habits so I know what’s normal for them. My PA training has taught me to pay close attention to details, so if anything seems off, like skipped meals, unusual tiredness, or limping, I’ll notice and let you know right away. Now that my classroom training is done, I’ve been spending time with my aunt’s dog, a high-energy puppy with a leg injury. I take him on lots of walks to burn off that energy while keeping an eye on how his leg is holding up. It reminded me how much I’ve missed having a dog around. I can’t own one while I’m in school, so I’d love to give your dog the care I’d give my own. I’m in my clinical year of PA school, and while weekdays are busy with my rotation, my weekends are available. I spend them studying at home in my apartment, which means your dog gets a friend all day instead of hours alone. I’m available on weekends for boarding and walks. My current rotation is local, and I’ll have my upcoming schedule by November 9, so feel free to reach out about future dates! I live in a smoke-free, pet-friendly apartment with no other pets or kids, so your dog will have my full attention. My corner unit sits right by the exit, with quick access to grass for potty breaks. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, and the walking paths around Como Park and Como Lake are just a short walk away for longer outings. I have space for a crate, food, and toys, and I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine for meals, walks, and bedtime. Since I study at home on weekends, your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I keep doors secured at all times. I'll also send photos and updates during their stay.
“Thanks Brooke! I was so glad you were able to take him on such short notice. He obviously had a great time with you and the pack. I think you were a hit with him, and I'll definitely be reaching out for the next boarding! ~bill”


“Dawn is awesome! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. She did such a great job with my fur baby and helped him feel at home, even with his separation anxiety. She takes care of all the pets she takes in like they’re her own. Such a kind person!”

“Aish and her family were wonderful. They sent many pictures and videos. My dog, Pepper, seemed to have a good time playing with the other dogs she had there. This was our first time using Rover and we were super nervous about leaving our baby with anyone. I think Pepper misses being over there now playing with the others. Due to the BWCA wildfires we had to end our trip early. Aish made sure to refund the money for the other days right away without me even asking. She responded immediately to all my texts. I would definetly use her to watch my Pepper again.”

“Kristina took great care of our two adult rescue dogs! She provided great daily updates and the dogs seemed very happy in her care. Much appreciated and hope she can care for them again!”

“Wonderful sitter! My dog loved hanging out with Liam! Great sitter and great updates throughout the whole boarding time! Highly recommend! This is my first time using Rover, but because of Liam, I will for sure be using him and this site again! Thanks for an amazing first experience for both Max and I”

“I'm always so grateful for Jie's care for my sweet senior dog. He is comfortable there and it's wonderful to return to the same sitter again and again. I can actually enjoy my time away because I know he is well cared for and safe. I appreciate how adaptive they are for my dog's unique needs.”

“My furry daughter loved her :-), and we like Kira's stay too! She is quick to respond to your messages, and she sends a lot of updates with pics about my dog. Will definitely consider her for our future needs. Thanks Kira!!!”

“Bethany took awesome care of my dog! My dog is a very anxious guy and it really eased my own anxiety to know that he was with someone who could handle his quirks.”


“This is our first time using Rover and it could not have gone better! Brock and Laura were so nice, understanding, and supportive. We got multiple updates to reassure us, the dogs got so many walks - rain or shine. I will definitely be using them again!!!”

“Liss was amazing when it came to taking care of our 11 week old puppy. We were nervous to leave him behind as we went on our week long trip however Liss showed confidence in taking care of biscuit and we absolutely loved the friendly updates with photos of our pup. Thank you Liss!”

“Caitlyn was excellent at communicating right from the start and providing updates throughout the stay. I could tell she made Ruby feel extremely welcoming and comfortable through daily pictures notes. Will definitely contact her again!!”

“I recommend Topsy! She took wonderful care of Jerry, sending regular photo and text updates that I really appreciated. She was particularly attentive to the specific needs of a Greyhound, asking all the right questions to make sure he was comfortable. Even though Jerry was anxious, Topsy handled him with such warmth and compassion. A truly great sitter!”

“I highly recommend Jessie. She was so great to our dog Ivy; she took her on walks, car rides, to Bachman's, and gave Ivy treats (approved by us). Jessie sent us updates every single night with lots of pictures. Ivy definitely missed Jessie once she got back home 🥰”

“Sally is the best! Beginning with the initial meet and greet, I could tell that my dog, Joy, felt instantly comfortable. Joy has a bit of separation anxiety, so Sally’s warm and welcoming nature made the stay extra enjoyable for Joy. By the end of the trip, Joy was not wanting to leave. Highly recommend!”

Joanna and John seriously go above and beyond every time when caring for our pups! Not only are they organized and responsive, you can also tell they truly care for the dogs and spoil them. Mine never want to leave when we come to pick them up ☺️ we also had a significant delay with our flight coming home and they were flexible and understanding. I can't recommend them enough—it's so nice to know they're in good hands!

I highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for a reliable, communicative, and professional sitter. I needed several days of watching for my older dog, and Ryan was more than willing to keep an eye on her for several days. He was respectful, and he also went above and beyond to help me with transportation due to an unexpected delay/issue on my end. I tend to believe your dog is the best indicator of how things went, and mine whined for several hours after Ryan dropped her off. She also kept watch out the window, seemingly hoping he would come back. I think that speaks for itself, and I will definitely rebook with Ryan for any future needs. Finding a trustworthy sitter is tough, though again, I (and Ava) definitely recommend Ryan!

Juneau absolutely loved her time with Robert and he definitely went the extra mile to make sure she had everything she needed. He also provided regular photo updates - still getting to "see" her on a regular basis made such a difference. I would book with Robert again without question and I know Juneau looks forward to the next time she gets to hang out with him.

Sarah was incredible with my dog Mochi! I am always a little apprehensive to send my large high energy dog to sitters without a fully fenced, but Sarah took Mochi on lots of fun adventures to get her energy out! She always sent photos daily which I appreciated. I could not recommend Sarah more!

Katie and Josh were absolutely fantastic dog sitters. They were great communicators, so friendly, and incredibly patient and kind with my anxious Pomeranian. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such caring, attentive hands. I can’t recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again!

Kari and Brian are absolutely the best!!! They cared for Jackson (our high energy husky mix) for 4 nights as though he was truly part of their family. They walked him multiple times per day and sent photos and updates regularly to reassure us while we were away. They also brought Jackson home for us the night of our return. We HIGHLY recommend them for dog care! 🐕
