“Our dog and cat love Lilah! She's very caring with our babies, and has followed our wishes for their care including some training time! Her Rover cards are an excellent way to feel included in their day and she does an excellent job at them! We will continue to work with Lilah and strongly recommend”


About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but I did not realize how deep that love could be until I adopted my first dog, Flynn, 11 years ago. He was a 90lb German Shepherd with reactivity towards other dogs, which led me down the path of learning everything I could about canine behavior and training. I have taken multiple dog training classes focused on positive reinforcement techniques and have used tools such as clicker training, prong collars, and e-collars. I learned how to navigate situations in which Flynn was reactive, making sure I had full control of a very strong dog at all times. I raised Flynn from 8 weeks old (puppy shark phase) to his calmer senior years. The challenges I faced with Flynn taught me how to read canine body language, manage reactivity, and handle high energy, strong dogs with patience and love. After losing Flynn, I thought I could never get another dog again, but come February 2024, I welcomed 7-week-old GSD mix Artemis (Artie) into my life. It has been a completely different training experience in much more challenging ways. From potty training to crate training and leash manners, she has tested everything I have learned (and helped me learn more). Every challenge and every puppy shark bite has been completely worth it. She is now thriving and continues to learn thanks to consistency, structure, and ongoing enrichment. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care. I started caring for our elderly family dog (Socrates) after my father passed away 4 years ago. He is now a 14-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix with limited mobility and some incontinence. I provide daily care, including hygiene and administering medication, and provide a clean, comforting environment to support his quality of life. He is getting a lot of treats and love in my care. My goal is to build trust and communication to maintain a safe environment for dogs and others. Whether your dog is a puppy in training, a reactive adult, or a senior who needs special attention, I bring patience and knowledgeable care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours special. I'd love to meet them and offer care you can trust. My life revolves around my sweet pup, Artemis (aka Artie). This means that besides work and taking care of her needs, I am quite open. I work remotely some days and can drop in on your babies during the day or in the evenings. On the weekends my availability is wide open. Building trust through consistent communication is important to me. Since I know that every dog is different, I understand each has individual needs and am eager to learn them. As a dog owner, I also understand how important it is for someone who is caring for your dog to know your dog and know what they need (I'm the type who writes a whole manual for any sitter). In my home, I have a senior dog who likes his alone time and an energetic, young GSD mix dog. For daycare, your pups can interact as little or as much as appropriate. I also have a small fenced yard where I can play with the dogs.

About: From dogs, cats, frogs, and everything in between, I’m an avid pet lover! My current rescue is a German shepherd mix named, Butters. I spent my day’s walking and playing with her. We also love visiting her fur friends! I am currently working part time so my availability is open Mondays-Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for day visits. Weekends I’m free all day! I have a large, fenced yard with a loving fur baby, Butters. She is a social pup and would love some company! Dogs can be in and out of the home as they please. But bedtime is always inside! I also have room for a crate if needed.

“Elli was incredible - SO responsive and responsible!! She took such great care of ShiShi while I was out of town. She was detailed with her questions and made sure that she had everything she needed to look after ShiShi. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!!”


“Ashlee was great! She stopped in right on time, fed and played with Bella, scooped her litter, and topped off her water! Bella was a happy camper when I got home and she didn’t even notice I was gone 😂”

About: Hello, my name is Halley and I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals in all shapes and sizes. I’ve owned 5 Guinea Pigs, 5 Dogs (raised from puppyhood), Cats (2 bottle feed kittens), fish, and even a horse for a short time. My mom is a professional dog trainer who owns her own business so I’ve grown up helping out training and rehabilitating animals. So no matter your pet care needs I can do it. I’m currently self employed as a personal shopper so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can do what’s best for you or your pets schedule. I can’t currently care for pets in my own home However I do have a big SUV and a pet of my own if you want a friend for your dog to play with. I currently work as a pet sitter full time and I’m also going to school for my BA in History so my schedule is pretty flexible. I currently can’t board pets in my home however if you would like me to watch them in yours that would be no problem. When taking care of my own dog I like to take her for a walk to the local park once a day for about 30min to an hour depending on the weather and her energy. I also like to do 20 min of enrichment twice a day whether that’s playing with a toy together or chewing on her bully bone. These are all things I can incorporate when caring for your animal if you would like.

“Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!”


“Crystal was excellent on her services ,she is very much a dog lover and was able to accommodate our needs on a short period of time. This was our very first time leaving our 2 dogs and using this service and she made sure to answer all our questions and meet our family before deciding to use this service vs. dog boarding. Great communicating, sending photos, and following our instructions. She went out of her way to meet our needs and not to worry about our pets while we were away.”



About: Hello dog owners, I used to have total of five dogs in my lifetime. I know that being an owner, you don't want your dog to be lonely and neglected. My last dog passed away because of old age. I finally have the opportunity to help owners like you to care for your dogs. I can provide play, walks, take out for peeing and pooping, feeding, bathing, brushing, towel dry, blow dry, brushing teeth, and lounging. I have a backyard that is gated and fenced. Just letting you know that I do not provide food and supplies for bathing, brushing, or teeth brushing at this time, maybe later I can provide these services.. My hours are flexible. If your dog have fleas, please have the fleas control before having me take care. If your dogs/pets need medical meds or injections, I am not servicing that because I have no experience how to. Thank you for reading this material. Respectfully, "Annie" Keslyn N Please let me know since I will be only working with your pet for only weekdays and probably a few hours or whatever schedule what your pet weekly routine is so that can service...for instance, consistent feeding times, dedicated exercise periods like walks or playtime, and quality interaction time throughout the day, ensuring your pet has a predictable schedule for their basic needs and wellbeing. I have fence around my home. If you prefer, I can walk the dog around your area. Also I live across the street from the park, I can walk or jog walk the dog there or play fetch.

Adriana H.
“My Bella babe (yorkie mix) is my absolute best friend/baby. Since my 3 kids moved out to college and on their own, and my husband and I got divorced about 6 years ago, I’ve been very lonely. I’m getting older and am so busy at times I just don’t have time for dog walks very often but luckily Adriana has been my right hand for that, so when I say I wouldn’t just trust anyone with my prized Bella I mean it. Adriana has been trust worthy and is always so safe and loving with her. She is definitely worth the booking thank you again Adriana for everything!”

Morning Sunwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlee was an excellent carer for Bear! She took lots of photos and made sure to give him quality time by playing with him and cuddling with him on the couch, so he wouldn’t get bored/lonely. Her notes were very detailed and complete and her communication throughout the whole visit(s) were perfect and clear!

Carli was so conscientious, helpful, and reliable. She took such great care of our pup, followed our instructions, sent us daily updates and pictures, and went above and beyond making sure our pup felt loved and cared for while we were away. Thank you again, Carli!

Alaina is the best!! She watched our two cats while we were in Europe for a week and did an amazing job. She sent lots of pictures every day and our cats were both very help and well cared for when we got back. They love her and we will definitely book her for our next trip :)

Elizabeth was a tremendous help taking care of our dogs while we were away on holiday. She sent us daily pictures and updates. It gave us ease of mind that our doggies were well taken care of. She is super nice and very gentle with our dogs. We highly recommend her and she will be the first one to call if we need a dog sitter!

Elsa was amazing. She took care of our cats, Bobbie and Zoee while we were away for two weeks. The attention given to our cats was incredible. She was proactive and had initiative. We received daily updates in both photos and videos. We appreciate it so much as our time away from our cats were free of stress and worry.

Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!

5 Stars – The Best Pet Sitter We’ve Had! We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marisol was absolutely amazing with both our cat Gin and dog Makii during her house drop-in visits. From the moment she met them, it was clear she had a genuine love for animals, our usually shy cat even came right up to her, which never happens! She was super attentive, gave both pets plenty of love and playtime, and kept everything incredibly clean and tidy. We came home to happy pets and a spotless home, which made the whole experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly great with animals, Marisol is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Harmony was super receptive to all of our needs & requests for our six month old puppy. She was gentle and kind with her from the beginning, and sent us plenty of updates throughout the day. When Hallie did some spooky barking out the window, Harmony went out of her way to close the blinds to create a visual barrier, practice Hallie’s tricks to get her confidence back up, and redirect her to help her settle back down. It’s so important to have someone so willing to patiently engage and be so tuned into our pup’s behavioral needs. We highly recommend her! We felt safe and comfortable with Hallie in Harmony’s care.
