“Our standard goldendoodle Teddy had the best time with James and his family. We needed somewhere for him to play while we spent a long vacation day away from our house, giving Teddy his own doggie vacation. He was worn out from playing with the other dogs and had a sleepy, relaxing day afterwards. Thank you!”


“Jeremy & katie are a genuine dream rover! Great communication, lots of pictures, kid and other dog-play, walks—a dog summee camp! They had our Rex for about a week and we picked him up safe & sound. We would definitely recommend them to future Rover users!”


“Jessica and John were fantastic! Not only did they make my pup a part of their family and take her on adventures but we're also very understanding when there was a last minute change in plans. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again!”


“Another wonderful stay with Maria and Jose! They receive my highest recommendation! I am so grateful for their daily communication with pics and videos. Their attention to detail is exceptional! It is a huge comfort knowing that my pup is in the best of hands when I travel. Thank you again, Maria and Jose!”


“Cara was great with our pup Smokey. She has dogs of her own which meant Smokey had plenty friends to play with. Cara was communicative and attentive. I would gladly use Cara again.”


“I highly recommend Vicky for dog sitting! She treats our Fiona like she is her own and gives frequent updates. Fiona is very comfortable with Vicky and we love being able to leave her knowing that not only is she being treated with care, but that Fiona feels like she gets her own vacation while we’re away!”


“Terri has watched my pup a few times now and it's been great each time! The most recent time was for a whole week. I was concerned about finding someone who could handle a wild and not-yet fully trained puppy and Terri has been so sweet, gracious and relaxed about everything. She even sent me photo/video so I could see how Zelda was doing. I love the farm atmosphere that Terri provides. She's clearly a true animal lover and Zelda seems to enjoy spending time visiting with both the human and animal friends she's made at Terri's. So glad we found someone capable, trustworthy and kind!”


“I am SO happy we found Ethan & Hope! They have a perfect puppy sitting home, they are so kind and sent me the best pup-dates. Dezi can’t wait to stay with them again!”


“Micah took such good care of Coleman—we could tell he was comfortable, calm and content when we picked him up. Micah has such a wonderful, peaceful energy—she immediately made us feel good about leaving our baby with her, and she kept us updated with photos while we were gone. (She also didn’t roll her eyes when I gave her many pages of instructions! :-)) Her dog, Koda, is a sweetie and didn’t seem to mind having an extra buddy around. We would definitely use Micah again!”


“Maria is a natural with animals. Her calm demeanor puts you and your pets at ease. My dog doesn't take to strangers well but he felt right at home with her.”


“Morgan and her son took such great care of Eve! They gave her lots of love, play, and snuggles which is exactly what she needs! Eve looked very happy during her stay and is returning home very calm and peaceful! We will be booking with Morgan again soon!”


“Milendi was very accommodating and quick to respond to my last minute requests. She took really great care of my Mastiff puppy and made her comfortable, and happy! She is amazing!”


About: Hi there! I’m Lindsay - a responsible, experienced dog owner with a calm home, a fully fenced yard, and two friendly dogs of my own who love having company. I’m new to Rover, but not new to petsitting. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for years, and I treat every guest like family. I work full-time from home, which allows me to offer consistent supervision and care during evenings and weekends - perfect for pet parents who need flexible, reliable support they can trust. My home is peaceful, pet-friendly, and designed to help dogs relax. I only host a limited number of dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and space to decompress. Whether your dog loves fetch in the yard, long sniffy walks, or curling up on a soft bed, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the pack. I have hands-on experience with: Dogs of all sizes and temperaments Crate-trained and free-roaming dogs Feeding routines, medication schedules, and senior care Multi-dog households and managing introductions During every stay, I provide regular updates and photos so you never feel out of the loop. You’ll come home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog who’s been treated like one of my own. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits within a 15-mile radius — it’s a great option for getting to know me (and for your pup to get familiar) before booking an overnight stay. I love building long-term relationships with the dogs and families I work with. Let’s set up a meet and greet - I’d love to get to know your pup and welcome them into our routine! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my day starts and ends with feeding, playtime, walks, and snuggles. I work full-time at home during the week, so I'm home in the mornings, evenings, and all weekend. That makes evenings, weekends, and holidays ideal for boarding or daycare. I only take on a small number of pets at a time to make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, calm energy, and time to decompress. Your pup will fit right into our rhythm here! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family - they have access to cozy, pet-friendly areas, a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and a calm, structured environment that helps them feel at ease. I supervise all introductions carefully and only accept pets that are a good fit for my home and resident dogs. Feeding routines, medication schedules, and special needs are followed exactly as instructed, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or drop-ins, I approach every pet with patience, care, and clear boundaries to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well-loved.

“Paul is an excellent sitter, and my pup got so much attention and care staying with him! He has a wealth of experience with dogs, and is very attentive to their needs and behaviors. He is incredibly responsive and flexible, and I was happy knowing that my dog had a yard to play in, a dog companion to be with, and humans who were around to give her lots of love. His home is comfortable and catered to the needs of dogs, with plenty of cozy dog beds and places for them to look out of windows. He sent lots of photo and video updates, too. The next time I need a dog sitter, I will be booking with him. Thank you, Paul and Remi!”


“Katie and Preston were awesome with Charlie for his first stay with them! They provided daily feedback and pictures of Charlie and were very responsive with texts/message. Will definitely rebook with them!”


About: I speak dog. I am a natural born doggie mom. Dogs like me and I like them. We just get each other. I can't imagine my life without being surrounded by dogs. Twenty years ago I started up a pet care company on a fluke, just for fun, and it took off like gangbusters and grew to be the second largest pet care company in that town. Then I sold it to a single mom who had been working with me when I moved out of the area. I have started businesses from scratch and grown them using processes, systems and technology to stay organized and professional. I limit the number of dogs I care for so that they all get individualized attention. I also make sure that any dogs that join the pack are screened to make sure they are healthy and friendly with all the other dogs so everyone gets along. I have a huge doggie apartment in my home for everyone to hang out in and a large fenced in yard for them to all play in. I work from home and love being surrouned by dogs. We provide constant supervision while your dog is visiting. Someone will always be with the pack except for brief breaks to run an errand of take a potty break. I work remotely from home as a business and career coach. So, I am home all day and I have a housemate who is my assistant pack pal to make sure everyone is happy, healthy and well taken care of during their entire visit with us. Dogs in our care are never left unattended for longer than a few minutes to an hour at most. Safety and socialization are our priorities. We have designated drop off and pick up times of 7:30 am - 9am drop offs and 4 - 6 pm pick ups. We provide a large clean, safe, comfortable indoor space for dogs to play, lounge, and get lots of tummy rubs. There is also a large covered patio area and fenced in yard for pups that like to play outside and get their zoomies on. We will feed dogs according to their routine and ownders' requests. We will give approved treats to visiting pack pals on owner's approval. We provide a balanced environment and routine for pups to play or rest and relax, and make friends to supervised socialization that empowers them and builds their confidence. We welcome new pack pals into our home as if they were one of our furry family members. We don't use crates of kennels. Everyone is treated like an honored guest and given space to roam and relax in a cozy home environment. I have a whole area of my home in the basement that is designated as the pack pals play pen with a huge fenced in yard for them to play in. We have a doggie door so they can go in and out as they please. The entire doggy den is supplied with lots of comfortable dog beds and a doggy couch for dogs to nap and sleep. We don't use crates of kennels, unless a doggy parent has crate trained their dog and prefers that we crate their dog at night to sleep. Dogs are given a nice balance of a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor space to play and sleep over, as well as a fenced in dog yard and covered patio for potty breaks and play time in the sunshine. We also subscribe to a pooper scooper service that comes mutliple times per week to keep the yard clean and healthy.

“Felix had an absolutely wonderful time with Megan! She gave him so many special activities and attention just for him. We mentioned that he because of his diet he can’t have treats, but he loves ice and they went straight to pick up ice for him, took him to the on walks and to a dog park an even had a special movie night just for Felix! And on top of all that she kept us updated with these wonderful descriptions of what their activities were an absolutely amazing pictures of him 😍 I couldn’t recommend a sitter any better than I can for Megan especially since she was willing to accommodate taking care of Felix at a very last minute request absolutely wonderful lady”
