“Karolina was a wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog, Hank, and kept him happy and comfortable while we were away. It was clear she really cared about him, and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. When we got home, everything was clean and just as we left it—she even tidied up before heading out. We will definitely be using Karolina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Betty did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs! She was very communicative and sent awesome photos and seemed to really just love on our pups while we were out of town for the weekend.”
“We had never left our pets before and Donna took great care of them, providing us with daily updates and pictures, which made us feel comfortable being gone. We will definitely use Rover again as long as Donna is available!”
“Great communication and easy to work through details of the stay. Ron is a super kind person who will take great care of your pets! Don’t hesitate to book him to hang out with your pups!”
“We could not be much picker then most when it comes to who is watching our dog. This was our first-time using Rover, we spoke to a couple people and then met Roxanne. She had a lot of experience with older dogs, she was professional and paid attention to our needs for our Eva from day one and remembered them all when came for our first getaway for the day. Roxanne took great care of Eva, took for a couple walks, fed her and just made her feel like a friend was hanging out with her (she didn’t day that, but I just know it) ?. So now we are planning or vacation for a week away and plan on Roxanne being our good to sitter for Eva.”
“Morgan is fantastic! She showed up on time and fell in love with my puppy from the minute she arrived. She sent pictures, played with her and kept her cuddled up and happy until we returned. She is great! I would highly suggest her!!”
About: Experience in pet care. I've worked with cats and dogs of different breeds, which allows me to create a safe environment for them and I actually do that you say 🫡 Due to other work, my availability is: "Mon-Fri: 9am-12pm, 1pm-8pm. Weekends: Flexible." Within these hours, I'll make sure your dog enjoys their walk. Contact me to schedule! Having many animals in our farm when I was growing up help me learn to understand how cats dogs and other animals relate and interact with each other
“Sara was terrific! Last minute on my part and we were able to talk it through and work it out! I would definitely hire Sara again. She is very professional. It turns out she is close to my home, so I am considering taking my dog, to Sara's day care, to become more socialized. Thank you Sara.”
About: I'm a devoted Dog Auntie to a spirited Mini-Aussie, two lovable Labs, and even four horses! My heart still holds a special place for my Puggle rescue, Henry, who was my adventure buddy across three states and a cherished therapy dog for seniors until his passing in 2021. With over 25 years of experience, I connect instantly with dogs of all ages and personalities. From training playful puppies to providing compassionate care for senior dogs, I’ve done it all—including guiding my Puggle Henry in his professional training. Your furry friend will be treated like family in my care, with plenty of love, fun, and attention. Expect fetch sessions, refreshing walks, and cozy snuggles! Book with me for peace of mind knowing your pup is in experienced, caring hands. I'm currently a freelance writer who works from anywhere: cafes, coffee shops and even your couch. This enables me to pop in for a walk during the day or spend the weekend (or longer) with your dog while you're away. I live in a tiny home with very little space, so while I will consider watching your fur baby in my home, I believe they would be more comfortable in their environment. I have been pet sitting in the valley for several months now, and have excellent references.
“We so appreciate Kaitlyn's communication & conscientiousness with our dogs. They are clearly very happy and relaxed with her, and I rest easy while away knowing they're in such good hands.”
“It's always tough with a new sitter but Ari took great care of them. The best part was we came back to healthy and calm dogs, the house looked good, the tomato plants and fish alive!! She was an excellent active listener, had lots of experience and was above all loving to the dogs and sending us communication regularly. Thanks so much Ari!!”
“Karla was amazing with our 5 month old puppy. She stayed in our home and left it immaculate! We appreciated her love and care for our new puppy (we had lost our 12 year golden just a few days before our trip). She made sure our puppy got lots of love and attention. We will absolutely use Karla again.”
About: Anytime I watch an animal I do my best to keep them in there normal routine. This is especially important with young and senior animals. I have a senior pup and while he’s flexible with me, I understand the stress it can cause animals to be away from there family and out of the daily routine. I work full time caring for aquatic animals and when I come home I care for the furry kind! I have been house and dog/cat sitting for many years for co workers, friends, and my volunteers who I work with. I have always loved animals and care for yours like they are my own. I walk my dog first thing when I get home to get us both out of the house and enjoy exploring the outdoors. I have an unfenced yard but the animals never go out in supervised. I have 20ft leashes that easily reach the grass and farther for those who tend to wander.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Very flexible schedule. Grew up with dogs all of my life. I've cared for a variety of dogs.. from chihuahuas to Rottweilers. And any age. My dogs are very friendly, and could join for dog walks to make fur friends. I would love to help out with your pup, since we all have busy lives, and don't want them cooped up all day. I hope I can help out. I can do overnights, just would prefer dog walking and checking In. But we can discuss overnight stays if I work with you and your pup for a good amount of time. I can do drop bys frequently, since I have a flexible schedule. Thank you, and have a good day!

Riley cared for my mature herding dogs over 4 days and nights. I got very frequent communication about status and good questions about their care. She obviously is a concerned and thoughtful sitter. I am already planning on rebooking her for another stay a couple months out. Highly recommended!
Sara was great, I came home to happy, relaxed pets! She took wonderful care of my old cat and dog and kept me updated on how they were doing. I felt comfortable being away from them knowing that they were in good hands with Sara and her sister. Thank you so much! ❤️
