“Lucy was amazing with my Golden retriever, Chip! She provided photo updates daily, a meet and greet before booking, and even accommodated us when we had an unexpected travel delay. We will definitely be booking her again!”

Holly B.

“Telicia did an excellent job with my pup. She communicated very well and was pleasant to deal with. The most important aspect though was I knew that she and my loving dog bonded. Telicia sent photos to prove that to me. I will let her keep my pup again and again.”

RC M.

“Second time Louie has stayed with Michelle and Bradley. He loves being there, is well cared for and enjoys their dog, Joni. Michelle and Bradley are clear communicators and great representatives of Rover.”

Jeffrey E.

“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”

Susannah S.

“Ben and Cassie were fantastic! They sent pictures and updates each day and truly allowed Nellie to be a part of the family for a week. Thank you!”

Claire E.

“I was really dreading going on vacation, because I was worried about leaving Ruby. However, when I met Danielle and her family all my worries were gone. She and her family were kind and loving with Ruby and reassured us that she would be in great hands. She sent several pictures which REALLY helped. I would heartily recommend Danielle, if you’re looking for a fabulous pet sitter!!!”

Cheryl R.

“Took great care of my puppy while I was on vacation. Always a quick response and pictures every day. Will definitely rebook if I need to board her again.”

Kallie B.

“Aaron was amazing! Rudy didn’t want to leave! Aaron helped me out in a pinch and I’m so thankful! He sent pictures of Rudy to me and kept me undated with him! Thank you so much! Definitely will be using his services again!”

Brandy S.

“Elizabeth gave great care to my two dogs. They were very happy there. It was such a good experience. So much better than putting them in a kennel. She walked them twice a day and gave them love and attention. I will definitely board my dogs here again.”

Vicki W.

“Liz was great and accepted my reservation last minute as we were heading out of town. She sent me pictures and videos of them walking/playing. Rocky came home excited and tired from the weekend. Will definitely be reaching out in the future!”

Roddy S.

“Andrea is absolutely incredible! Before drop off, she asked great questions, the drop off process was incredibly smooth and she sent picture updates multiple times a day of what my pup was up to! She is definitely my first choice for when I have to go out of town again!”

Kanon P.

“Greg was a wonderful host for my dog. He was very accommodating and really did a great job making my dog comfortable. I had a last minute cancellation with my friend so i had to find a sitter with short notice. Greg was awesome, and i'd recommend him to anyone who needed to use this service.”

Luke S.

“Emmet was very well taken care of. Victoria kept me updated with photos which was very comforting. I will definitely be utilizing her services again!”

“My dog had a great time at Dana’s house! I appreciate that she consistently sent me photos and kept me up to date. Will plan to use her again!”

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Andi! My goal is simple: to be your pup’s second best friend and to give you absolute peace of mind while you are away. As someone who has personally raised and loved four dogs of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals - they are family. I understand how tough it can be to leave them behind, which is why I treat your pet's routine, comfort, and safety with the highest level of care and respect. When I’m watching your dog, keeping their regular routine is my focus. Whether they have a strict feeding schedule, specific potty and playtime breaks, or just do best in a calm predictable environment, I make sure everything goes smoothly. You can travel guilt-free knowing they are happy, safe, and sticking to their normal routines. Because I work from home most days, I am nearby to ensure your pup has consistent companionship and care. My workday structure allows me the flexibility to step away and manage whatever your dog needs, keeping their daily routines seamless. Mornings: The day starts with a timely potty break, breakfast and fresh water, with some morning companionship before I focus on work. Mid-Day: I am easily able to take breaks for mid-day potty runs, quick playtime stretches, or a walk. Your pup will have a buddy nearby throughout the day to ensure they feel safe and secure. Evenings & Nights: Dinner is served right on time, followed by an evening with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Before bed we'll do one last potty break and settle into a calm, relaxed environment. A Quick Note on Schedule Variations: While I am home most of the week, I do work from the office on Wednesdays from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I always make sure dogs get a great morning routine and potty break before I head out, and I am right back in the afternoon for their next break. Additionally, I occasionally work a second job on weekends. If a stay falls over a weekend, there may be stretches where the pups are left alone, but they will always be safely settled and completely taken care of before and after! Because I view your dog as family, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Having raised four dogs of my own, I know how to spot potential hazards and maintain a secure, low-stress environment. I only host or sit for one family's pet(s) at a time. Your dog will never have to compete with unfamiliar dogs for attention, and you don't have to worry about the unpredictable behavior of other people's pets. They get my full focus. I am incredibly mindful of open doors, gates, and secure leash attachments. I keep a tidy, dog-friendly space so your pup can lounge, explore, and enjoy a truly relaxed environment. Trust starts before the stay even begins. I never skip a Meet-and-Greet because I want to learn your dog's unique quirks, what makes them nervous, and exactly how they behave in different situations. If anything ever seems off—whether it's a change in their usual energy, appetite, or bathroom habits—you will be notified immediately. I treat your pup with the same watchful eye and care I gave my own.

“Crissy was flexible, accommodating, and sweet. We loved the photos she sent. Our two dogs came back happy and tired! We will definitely be in touch with her again.”

Zoe H.

“Mo did an excellent job watching my pup. She was great with updates which I really appreciated. She also was great at keeping in communication with me with quick responses as well. My pup seemed happy when returning home and I can tell she was well taken care of. I would definitely use Mo again.”

Ashley R.

“When we book with Rover, I'm sometimes sent pictures of the dogs where they appear to be pleading with their eyes, saying something along the lines of "Where are you? What did I do to deserve this?" These picture are most emphatically NOT what I get from Karrie. In every single picture she sent, both of our dogs are grinning from ear to ear and appear to be having the time of their lives. When I took the dogs over, it had been quite a while since their previous visit with Karrie -- but they clearly remembered her and couldn't wait to ditch me and get into her house. I can't recommend Karrie enough -- she's a fantastic sitter!”

Randy C.

“Angela was absolutely wonderful! She’s very easy to work with and was willing to let me extend his stay when my flight was delayed. She has a plethora of fun friends that he could play and cuddle with. I only had to bring Ham and his food as she took care of the rest; she ate even wrestled him in his carrier so all I had to do at pick up was scoop him into the car. She’s my go to now for sure!”
