“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”

“Emmeline worked out perfectly for us! She was very responsive to our needs and when we met prior to the stay, Lola took to her right away. She was thorough in making sure she had all the info she might need for Lola’s care. The pictures that Emmeline sent throughout Lola’s visit were so adorable and let me know that she was in very good hands. Great experience! Thank you, Emmeline!”

“Allison and team is top-notch! She is very good at communicating with texts and pictures of the pups, and accommodated our needs before hers. She is a true pet-lover and takes every effort to ensure the pups are comfortable and well taken care of. We used her services a couple times now, and always pleased. We highly recommend Allison for your pet-care needs!”

“Mk was amazing, so attentive to our Zane, he definitely enjoyed himself. She sent daily pictures of how's he doing, went above and beyond even gave him a goodie bag 😊 will definitely book her for the future”

“I chose Margerita as my sitter the first time I used Rover and will always choose her. She is terrific. Even though it was last minute, she helped our family and we were able to attend a wedding out-of-town without worry. She even sent photos of him having a blast!-Camille D.”

“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”

“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”

About: I’m an experienced dog handler with a background in rescue, foster care, and shelter assessment work (SASA and 501(c) rescues). I’ve completed Fear Free Shelters core modules and continue to build skills in canine body language and low-stress handling. I provide calm, structured, individualized care—reading dogs well and preventing issues before they start. All care is on-site in a controlled home and yard, with a predictable environment where dogs can settle comfortably. I’m retired, so my schedule is relaxed and easy to work around. I have plenty of time to keep your pup happy and engaged, and I enjoy making their day fun and interesting. Most of my availability is during daytime hours, with occasional morning or evening care when needed. I also send regular photo updates so you can see how your dog’s day is going. I provide low-volume, safety-focused care in a calm, controlled home environment. I work with only one client household at a time, allowing for focused attention and a predictable, low-stress experience. My home features a large, secure fenced yard with locked gates and a clean, level surface for safe movement and play. I avoid dog parks and chaotic group settings. Instead, I use structured routines, careful introductions, and close supervision to prevent issues before they arise and help dogs settle comfortably. I pay close attention to canine body language and stress signals, adjusting as needed to keep each dog feeling relaxed and secure. My goal is simple: dogs feel safe, understood, and well cared for at all times. For new clients, I require a brief meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.
“We had a great experience with Taylor and Brian taking care of our dog, Kellie. Taylor’s background in a veterinary clinic made us feel very confident in her care. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience, especially with fostering. Caring for animals is a natural calling for her. Kellie was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again for Kellie in the future!”


“Shinead and her family were wonderful. They took care of my dog for 4 days and she always kept me updated with pictures. It was our first time leaving our dog to someone for a long time and we felt really safe leaving him in her care. My dog seemed to have loved it as well he got along with everyone that took care of him. She’s amazing will definitely rebook when I need to!”

“Ana took great care of Hunter while we were away over Thanksgiving. We received daily videos and pictures assuring us that he was ok…which allowed us to enjoy our holiday without worry. This was our first experience using a sitter from 🐾Rover, and we are satisfied. Thank you, Ana!”

“Tracey and her family were amazing. They made Milo feel very welcome. They made us feel very at ease during our vacation without worrying about Milo. She sent us photos and text to keep us updated. We would be definitely booking with her every time we go on trips.”

“Melissa took wonderful care of our older dog toffee while we were away for the weekend ! She sent lots of photographs and sent regular updates . We are so grateful to have found her”
“This power duo took an amazing care of our Mochi. They gave daily updates and pictures that we greatly appreciate. We also want to thank you for the treats and thoughtful card left in her bag. We will definitely be using your services again!”

“Marissa is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our fur baby. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pet. When we came home after our weekend away our pet was relaxed and happy. During our time away Marissa sent us photos and videos of our pet having fun with her own pets which was really nice and we felt relaxed and knew our pet is safe with her. I look forward to booking Marissa again in the future!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.

Nadine did a terrific job dog sitting our little Chihuahua. She’s an older dog who needs medications and has a strict schedule for food and Nadine made sure it follow it precisely and send pictures and everything. I’m so happy to have found someone who I can trust to watch my little one while I’m away!

Taiwana was an amazing sitter! She was so kind to accept my last minute boarding request and was so accommodating when I had to have my dog picked up later than expected. She sent updates daily and made sure to let me know that my baby was safe and happy. She was very kind and immediately you could tell Mac was going to be safe and taken well care of. Thank you so much!
