1. Vikki H.


“This was my first time using the Rover App and surely I made the best decision! To those who are on the borderline whether to reserve through Vikki, I was on the same situation as you are. Vikki really cared about my dog, she took pictures how things were, and gave dinner per instructions provided. I would personally never book through any others since I know my dog had a safe and pleasant time.”


2. Colleen C.

“Coll is n took extra time to meet with Lycky so he would be comfortable with her. Shes great!! Lucky enjoyed his time”


3. Elizabeth M.

“Elizabeth took great care of our Aussie Doddle, Rue. Great communication and clear instructions were always appreciated. Would definitely book again.”


4. Ashley G.

“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! I was really on the fence about leaving our 7 months old German Shepherd with someone I have never met before. Especially since he has never stayed with anyone but us before. I’m so glad we did. Wonderful calm and relaxing environment during an exciting and certainly somewhat stressful first Road Trip. He is pretty shy around new people, but Ashley has great energy and he was super chill. Great first time experience for Buddy. Highly recommend!”


5. Nancy & Gabriel N.


“Gigi loves Nancy! She is very attentive and a very trustable person. She promptly answers all the time and sends constant updates during the day with video and pictures. She is reliable and I always have peace of mind when I leave my puppy with her. She will take great care of your fur friends and they will love her I guarantee you. She is definitely one of my favorite pet sitters out there ?”


6. Joanna V.

“My dog is shy and apprehensive around strangers but Joanna made her feel safe and comfortable right away. She sent pics throughout the day which made me feel more comfortable too. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Joanna again it was a good experience for both my dog and myself ?”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. I am available for boarding every night. I will care for your pets and meet their special needs. I will take them for potty breaks every 2 hours while boarding overnight and however many times requested while stopping by for some outside time. I will also send fun pics to you so you know they are loved while you are away. **Please ensure you bring along any food for your pet, as I do not provide this due to individual diets. Also anything else that would bring extra comfort to them etc, blankets, crates (although I have a large crate if needed), bedding, toys, treats as well as any medications or probiotics/vitamins they are taking.


8. Shelly S.

“Shelly is wonderful, she really saved the day when we needed someone to watch Milo for the entire day at the last minute. Milo is very shy but Shelly took great care of him and he seemed to warm up very fast. Also Shelly’s home is doggy paradise!! A big screened sunroom for the dogs to relax and catch some rays and a huge fenced yard for them to run around in and take frequent potty breaks. Thanks Shelly!”


9. Timothy & Crystal G.
About: I’ve had just about every type of animal pet growing up. I especially love dogs and cats. I’ve dealt with young and old my entire 42 years of existence!! I work five days a week at night and my wife works five different days during the day. So one of us would be with the pets at all times. We also have two girls- one young adult and a 10 year old. They adore pets!! I have a vinyl fenced in back yard for the pups to run around and play. We are animal lovers, we lost our dog Dec. 2022. We would like to travel in the next couple years and can't commit to another pet of our own at the moment. So, we would LOVE to be able to love on your pet while you're away!! We take many walks, lots of snuggles, have a family environment. We enjoy meeting all the different animals. We work opposite schedules so someone is usually home. We treat your baby as if it is our own! This is our solution to let the kids get more time with other animals without having to get another pet ourselves! We would love to watch your pet- We typically board one family at a time, so sorry if we aren't available for your dates. We take day bookings as well as longer bookings. We love our repeat pups and they have become like family!


10. Fiorella T.

“My 7 month old puppy had a great time playing with another Shih tzu at Fiorella’s house. She sent pics during the day so I could feel more at ease. He was well taken care of and we will return in the near future!”


11. Debbie G.

“Mazie had a great day with Debbie and her dogs. Debbie was so kind to help us out last minute so we could spend the day fishing. 🎣 We are so happy we found her on Rover and connected. We look forward to seeing you again, Debbie!”


12. Jhomairis A.

“She's was great with dutch, and I'm glad she took good care of him while we were gone, she was honest and always updated with him by sending us pics and messaging me about his daily status. I would highly recommended her again.”


13. Holly A.


“Holly was great, very friendly, communicative and considerate. I Work crazy irregular hrs and she was flexible with changing schedules on the fly. Home was great and my doggos were always tired at pickup”


14. Sharon E.
“I highly recommend Sharon for any of your pet care needs. Her genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction, and she consistently demonstrates responsibility and care in her duties. Sharon's punctuality and excellent communication skills provide peace of mind while we're away, knowing our pets are in capable and loving hands.”


15. Amelia & Gregg S.
About: Been dog sitting for friends and have had my own dogs throughout my life. Always been a sucker for their puppy ways.. everyone of them have their own cuteness and personality I work from home.. So I am quite flexible.. This is a nonsmoking house and plenty of room for play time or just chill out .. Any question please feel free to ask. Thanks We currently are empty nesters.. So it will definitely be nice to have furry friends to keep us entertained.. our beloved Zazz did pass away last year from old age .. So we are still healing from that so we are in no rush to get a new baby.. So we thought we could just give all our attention to your .. I work from home all day long might leave to go grocery shopping. .. the weekend we do run errands. But the dog won’t be left alone for no more then 4 hours We have a big back fence but we can make it smaller so we can keep an eye on .. Gregg loves walking the dog also when he gets home. We have a quiet, bike trail one block away that we can walk the dog if the dog need to burn some energy .. but if the dog doesn’t like walks we always have a big yard. So they can have fresh air or use the rest room

“Wonderful sitter. Taz had a great visit with her. Highly recommend Gerri.”




19. Julie M.

“Our pup had the best time with Julie! We came down for spring break and dropped our dog off during the day for day care. It was the first time we left our pup alone with anyone so we were a bit anxious as to how he would react, but we had nothing to worry about. Every morning he would get so excited to get there and was always tired and happy when he came home. Julie sent text messages and pictures throughout each day and always kept us posted as to how our pup was doing. Julie is very knowledgeable, kind, was great to work with and had a wonderful rapport with the dogs. She made our vacation all the more enjoyable because we knew our pup was happy and well cared for. I only wish we lived closer to each other so we could drop him off everyday! Thanks again, Julie, for helping to make our vacation a great one!”


20. Mayvellin C.
““I cannot recommend May enough as a dog sitter! Her genuine love for my dog shines through in everything she does. Any time I leave my dog in her care, I have complete peace of mind knowing my girl is in the best hands. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just plenty of cuddles. It’s clear she truly treats my dog like one of her own. I’m so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and the joy she brings to my furry friend!””
