“Jennifer did an excellent job caring for our dog Oscar and we would happily use her services in the future. She seems to really love dogs and that helped put us at ease when we were away for a few hours and needed her help with a drop in.”

“Diana is amazing she takes such great care of our boys and even checked our stove because she had smelled gas, she is so attentive and just a great person thank you so much I trust her so much with the care of our dogs and house”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid and I'm still taking care of my German Shepard/ border collie mix now. I'm currently working as a nanny part time, so I have plenty of time to take on new clients. When I’m not working I’m a stay at home mom to an almost 1 year old, 10 year old dog, and a 5 year old cat. I live in a studio apartment (so I am unable to board anyone else’s pet) so for Abbey we take lots of walks and play outside daily. We stick to a consistent daily schedule. When it comes to your home and your pet I will make sure to respect your space and treat your pet like family.
“Serena took fabulous care of Raiken for his drop in visit. She was an excellent communicator from the get go. My dog is high energy and I could tell her presence helped to put him at ease and that she was prepared to manage his energy level. She followed all of the guidance I provided and I have no doubt he was well cared for while I was away. Thank you for providing me such peace of mind. Raiken can’t wait to see you again!”
“If you need a pet sitter just ask Ashlee, she did an amazing job, she was always on time to feed and play with our cat. Very convenient and nice, our sleepy boy that usually don’t like strangers really loved her. Thank you again and will definitely book again!!!”

“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my cat Bella and my fish Bumble. Bella is usually pretty outgoing, and Andrea did an amazing job keeping her entertained and happy. I loved getting the updates and pictures—Bella looked so comfortable and content, and Bumble was well cared for too. Coming home to such happy pets and a tidy space was a great feeling. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for someone who truly cares!”


“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 been taking care of dogs from all various age ranges since I started dog sitting and walking at the age of twelve. While I don't have any professional training, I can easily connect with dogs on personal level because of my warm and friendly personality. I have two large dogs of my own and have an understanding of what it takes to care for bigger breed dogs. I love to spoil my own pets and will do the same for my current and future clients. I currently work as a teacher so I'm available to take care of a clients pet in the early mornings and anytime after 2PM. I'm more available on the weekends and will usually take the pet out for longer walks as my schedule permits. I have never taken care of another clients pet in my own home, I always get offered to stay in my clients homes. The clients always introduce me to the pet before I take the job, to make sure I will be a good fit and am trustworthy to be in their home. All clients I have house sat for, leave detailed written instructions as to what their pets daily needs and routine are. I make sure to follow all directions exactly how they are written and I keep the client up to date on how the animal is doing plus I send check in pictures whether they are requested or not.
About: I am the one that my friends and family call when they need their furry children to be watched or cared for. I treat all furry friends like they’re my own family. I have hands-on experience in pet sitting without formal training, demonstrating strong responsibility, patience, love and care for pets of all ages. I have developed key skills such as feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and ensuring pets’ safety and well-being. My experience has also helped me understand different pet behaviors, manage their needs, provide appropriate care for both young and senior animals, and communicate effectively with pet owners. My ability to handle pets in various situations, provide companionship, and maintain a clean and comfortable environment showcases my dedication, adaptability, and reliability as a pet sitter. I am super active, fun, intentional, nurturing, and attentive. You can trust me with your fur babies! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether you need care on weekdays, some weekends, or occasional visits, I can adjust to fit your schedule. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and general pet care, ensuring your furry friend gets the attention they deserve when you need it most. I provide attentive and responsible pet care in clients’ homes, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for their pets. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I keep the home secure by maintaining clean spaces, properly storing pet supplies, and ensuring doors, gates, and enclosures are safely closed. I also monitor pets closely, recognizing signs of stress or illness and addressing any concerns promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and owners by providing loving care while maintaining a safe and familiar environment.
“Anna is PHENOMENAL. My cats are pretty friendly but they were in pure bliss with her. Her Rover cards and updates were so entertaining and left us knowing our boys were in the right hands. While doing a meet and greet before our trip, she also met our slightly people-reactive dog and knew exactly how to interact with her to win her over. Anna is a gem!! Our cats miss her already.”

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and ages. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about providing safe, loving care tailored to each dog’s needs — from playful pups to gentle seniors. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I already work at a doggy daycare. When I’m not there, I’m spending time with my own dogs—taking them on walks, to the park, and keeping them active. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care for other pets too. Since I live with my family, I don’t bring pets into my home, but I’m happy to care for them in their own space. I always make sure to get a full tour and all the important details before sitting, so I can keep their routine consistent. I also love sending lots of pictures and videos to keep owners updated and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 7 to 10 years old. Also good with any size dogs, walking, sitting I can do. I have dogs of my own that I take care of most of the time. I have a small chihuahua up to a medium boxer. I am very playful with dogs that are hyper. I have a hyper boxer who loves running and playing and sprinting around the back yard
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.
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I currently own a golden retriever who is downright spoiled! I also love cats! I recently rescued a kitty after the passing of our other cat, that is super energetic and lovable. My dream is to one day own enough land to rescue and foster several dogs, cats, goats, and chickens! I work remotely and my job is very flexible, so I can be very accommodating to your schedule! I’m also a very active person, so I’d love to take your dog out for a walk or even a run if they enjoy that! I’m very responsible. I’ve owned my own dog for 5 years and grew up with 3 dogs in my family that I was responsible for caring for in some capacity. I also own a cat, so I’m very familiar cleaning the litter, feeding, and even administering medications. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animals (I get very anxious myself), so I am happy to flood your phone with pictures to ensure your baby is well taken care of :)
“Joy was the ultimate professional, and went above and beyond to make my cat feel seen, and loved while I was out of town. I could never compliment her enough for the high quality work she did. If I was given the chance to hire her 100 more times, I would do do it every time. Thank you, Joy!”

About: I’ve always been an animal person, but never in my life would I have thought to have make it a career! I’ve trained and boarded over hundreds of dogs in my 3 years of experience. I treat every dog that comes into my home as if they were mine. I’ve trained puppies from ages, young as 4 months to seniors dogs as old as 11 years old. I know how it can feel to leave your dog with someone for the first time or new person but I can guarantee to you that your dog will have a blast with me. I also provide frequent updates since I know most owners will miss their pups. I also do offer private lessons, board and train programs along with boarding services. I’m your one stop shop! I’m a full time dog trainer that works from home which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs whether they just want to hang out and sun bathe or play some fetch or tug. I do 5 rounds of potty breaks thru out the day, with 20-30 mins each round which means your dogs get plenty of time outside and aren’t stuck in a kennel all day long. I also offer training sessions while your dog is boarding if interested. I don’t like to overbook that way I make sure each dog get their proper time and attention outside. There’s always water available for them inside their kennel. I’m available to board any day of the week from 8am-8pm I built a kennel room that’s indoor climate controlled room right on the side of my house that’s specifically for my dogs and clients dogs. My dogs stay exactly where your dogs will be staying. All types of dogs are welcome. I have cameras set up all around the outside of my backyard and my kennel room as well so I have eyes on them at all times. My backyard is fenced to provide safety from escaping. I have two dogs who are pretty neutral to other dogs, my male dog helps me with aggressive dogs and my female helps me with building confidence for other dogs. All dogs stay in kennels and get rotated every 4 hours. If they’re puppies it’s every 2 hours.

Morning Sunwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
I’m so grateful to have found Amelia. My cat has been having stomach issues and was eating less than usual. Amelia was great at giving her medication, keeping me updated on how much she was eating and on her behavior. I would’ve probably cut my trip short if it wasn’t for Amelia and the trust I have on her caring for my baby.

Serena took fabulous care of Raiken for his drop in visit. She was an excellent communicator from the get go. My dog is high energy and I could tell her presence helped to put him at ease and that she was prepared to manage his energy level. She followed all of the guidance I provided and I have no doubt he was well cared for while I was away. Thank you for providing me such peace of mind. Raiken can’t wait to see you again!
We're very happy with the care, service and sweetness provided to our cat during a 4 day trip. She took the time to make sure that our cat was happy, purring and chatting with her. There were fun photos taken and regular updates. We would definitely request Elizabeth again for needed drop-in visits. ;-)

Kylie has watched our little guy a few times now and there is no one else i’d trust more honestly. Kylie is so warm, caring and communicative! She knows how Ralph likes to vibe - and granted he’s a chill guy, but he doesn’t love everyone, so knowing he loves Kylie so much just gives that extra bout of trust. Thank you so much Kylie!! You’re the best 🙂

Joy was the ultimate professional, and went above and beyond to make my cat feel seen, and loved while I was out of town. I could never compliment her enough for the high quality work she did. If I was given the chance to hire her 100 more times, I would do do it every time. Thank you, Joy!

Carli took care of our 11 year old shih tzu while we were out of town for about 5 days. Our fur baby warmed up to her so well, she made sure to send detailed updates and took the cutest pics! Even did a last minute late night trip when our power went out. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry because we knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!

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 :)
