“Lynn is an absolute Godsend! She provided me multiple updates daily including photos. She offered food and health recommendations as well as resources to review and research. Lynn pampered and spoiled ChiChi during our nearly weeklong vacation. I would trust her with my own life, not just my dog’s life. She’s that darn good! I will only use her from now on and recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!! Thank you again Lynn!!! 🫶🏼”

“Tiffani was absolutely fantastic with Apollo! She sent updates and pictures and kept me completely informed about how everything was going. I'll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her!”

“Paul & Kelly took excellent care of Dewey and were easy to work with. I came over before my trip for a meet & greet and they were very reassuring. I got regular updates & pictures. Dewey loved the big yard & got lots of gentle attention & play time from the Boys.”

“Thanks so much, Emily & Ryan! We appreciated all the picture updates, and Calvin obviously had a wonderful time. You guys were always quick to respond, helpful, and flexible. We hope to book again in future.”

“Rex had an amazing stay with Andrew and Jane! we would definitely have him stay there again, they were great with communication and sent us videos and photo updates.”

“This was Tucker’s first stay with Christine and it went very well. She is very good at keeping the dogs busy and exercised so they stay involved and don’t think about missing us. She sent us several videos during Tucker’s stay that helped us see he was doing well. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Kathy was a great communicator! She was more than flexible with meeting up ahead of time so that our pups could get introduced. She showed us around and was very transparent about what to expect while watching our dog, who felt right at home. I highly recommend her, and I’m looking forward to using her again in the future.”

“Siena had a great stay with Chris. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided daily updates with pictures which helped me feel comfortable and at ease while Siena was staying with him. Thank you, Chris!”

“Victoria took really good care of Beans, kept me updated and always responded to my messages quickly. She was kind and had a great environment for pups. She took her for walks and let her sleep with her in the bed. Beans had a great time there!”


“Pamela saved our day when another Rover sitter had to cancel on us, last minute. We did not have time for a meet and greet so we were a bit nervous. Once we met her on her beautiful property, it was easy to tell she loves taking care of pets and takes it very seriously. She liked our dog Gipper but more importantly, Gipper liked her. They bonded almost immediately which made it possible for us to enjoy our trip. Nothing like picking up your dog who is happy, energetic and happy! Thank Pamela!”

“I highly recommend Lindsay! You can tell she loves animals which is very comforting. I love the updates and pics she sends to ease your mind. We will definitely be booking with Lindsay in the future!”

About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“Day was amazing! She recently relocated from our neighborhood to across town, and was so gracious in picking up and dropping off Gus. Wonderful friendly demeanor and very responsive. Great experience.”

“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”

About: There has never been a time in my life that animals weren’t around. Have been around dogs,cats, birds, and snakes my whole life. I’ve always owned pets! I work as an artist which means that ultimately I do make my own schedule. I can be as flexible or busy as I wish! I truly understand the importance of pets in a home & the role that they play in their owners life. I give all pets the attention, love & care they need
Near Northwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was the first time Lucy spent the night away from home and we could not have asked for a better experience. Andrew, Jane, and their dog James took such good care of our girl 🥰 She came home after her one night stay happy and extra sleepy after getting to play with so many new friends.

Was in town for the weekend and my dog couldn’t stay with me at my hotel but it was fine because she was in great hands with Nicholas!! She is an Akita and she is a rescue so that can be a lot to handle but not for him: he even got her to socialize with his dog. So much so, that when I went to pick her up, they were still busy chasing each other around. Anyone who has dealt with a difficult breed or a rescue knows how much time is needed and I’m grateful!!Thanks again for helping out!
