“Leesa stayed with my babies overnight and they were super happy. She took them for walks, snuggled with them, sent me photos, and all was great when I got home. Highly recommend Leesa.”
“Sophie was amazing with our pups. They have missed her since we got home. Dogs had plenty of attention and she even took them on a walk. Will definitely use her again!”
“Monroe did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and was very flexible. I have a lot of anxiety leaving them and she did a good job checking in and letting me know how they were doing. Definitely would book with her again!”
“Tatum was absolutely amazing! Last minute booking that saved our vacation! The updates through out the day and pictures where reassuring things were going well! Maverick enjoyed her company. Would love to use her again!”
“David is an excellent pet sitter! I have used him twice and have been pleased with how many updates and pictures I get! My dog is fairly shy and David gave him the time to adjust and won him over with many treats.”
“The dogs love Deborah, she must give them all of the cuddles they need. She watched our 100+ lb Newfie and Rottie over Thanksgiving week, and they had no complaints upon our return! :) Their food ran out while we were gone and she cooked them up a rice & turkey meal for Thanksgiving when their Chewy delivery was delayed. She also kept the house as clean as humanly possible with the yard being 90% mud during the rainy week. 10/10 our go-to sitter, thanks Deborah!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them
“Christina was attentive and sent updates and pictures often! I appreciated Her care and love of my dogs! We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jasmine is a rock star. Our plans changed a bit last minute, she was very understanding and flexible. Took great care of our girls. Very pleased!”
“This was my 1st time using Rover and having a dog sitter that comes to my house. Yolena was very great with caring for my 3 dogs. She gave me daily reports and addressed any concerns or questions I had. I plan on using her services again in the future.”
“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”
“Katharine was great! She followed the instructions we left, kept all of the animals happy and our home was left in great shape. We appreciated all of her updates throughout the day and spending time at the house so that our puppy was able to play and run around while we were away. We’d absolutely hire her again.”
“Jadyn was our first dog sitter experience and we couldn’t be happier. We had so much anxiety going on vacation with a brand new puppy. Jadyn had a metal fencing for him, sent pictures and videos of him going on his very first walk and put our worries at ease. We’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her services. We appreciate making our vacation so much for relaxing. ☺️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 1 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I also have a medium sized crate and pad to keep your pup in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.
“Claire did a fantastic job house sitting for my senior dog and three cats over a long weekend. I really appreciated her communication and picture updates. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats/animals of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets along with caring for my own. I am an advocate for being there for your family and pets offering non-traditional hours/days that help provide flexibility for complex schedules.I work full-time and I am also in the Air Force Reserves so I understand the struggles of trying to find genuine love and care for your babies during these non-traditional hours/days so I want to be the answer! I currently work from home full time so I am home all day to give your pet(s) the attention they need to have a stress free stay away from home. I will work with you to provide unique days/hours to assist. Availability for House Sitting may vary but if you have WiFi, I can always work from your home if that works best to accommodate your family’s needs so just ask! Message me with your drop-in visit needs and we will work it out! I have a fenced yard and a friendly Boxer girl to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if that is preferred.
About: I've taken care of pets of all ages since i was about 12 for my friends and family members loved every minute of it. Elder pets to young and active. I currently work full-time during the weekdays. On the weekends i have plenty of down time for pet visits and spend time with furry friends. I have a fenced in backyard for your furry companion to run around and have fun 1 older dog that keeps to her self and another that likes to play and a nice size pet bed for any dog size.
“Mia made fast friends with my 2 rescues! And they don’t usually warm up to strangers quickly. (They weren’t treated well by the people who had them for the first 6 months or so of their lives.) Mia kept me up to speed on their adventures while I was gone, sending me pictures and telling me how they were doing. I am so glad that we found Mia - I will definitely use her again to care for my kids! 🐾🥰”
“One of my dogs had to have emergency back surgery 3 days before our trip out of town! Serenity came to the vet to get instructions and took such great care of my baby I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in good hands. She sent plenty of pictures and cared for my dogs as if they were here own.”
“Alanis was great! When she met Swirly, Swirly was a bit anxious and crazy. Alanis took it in stride and was undeterred. She was able to handle Swirly swimmingly well, took her on hikes, and sent cute pictures. I would definitely recommend!”

“I cannot remmend Tyler highly enough for anyone looking for pet care! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and their needs, providing special attention to any dogs in her care with remarkable attention to detail. What truly sets Tyler apart is her genuine connection with animals. Miles literally jumps for joy when she arrives, which speaks volumes about their interactions. I would have complete peace of mind knowing my pet is in trustworthy hands. Tyler is reliable, communicative, and I couldn't imagine a better caretaker.”

She is very professional and makes sure to treat your fur babies like they are her own!”
