“Literally could not be more impressed. I have 3 medium-large dogs and two cats, each with a variety of medications and strong personalities.. They eat raw food and have a complicated “outside” routine. I am also a control freak about my animals and their routines, and even went to the length of typing up this huge document of how to follow their normal schedules and routines of things….. Justyce followed it METICULOUSLY and really REALLY cared about “getting everything right”, which means the world to me. Lots of communication, lots of pictures, tons of true actual professionalism you don’t always get from hired services. I’ve never used Rover before and was so nervous about it, but now I’m not. I’m very very happy with my experience with her and I am just so thankful ❤️❤️”



“Stephanie is awesome! We have been using her for over a year now to take care of our boy when we go out of town. She’s always been reliable and trustworthy. We’re very thankful we found her!”


“SUPER SITTER‼️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Daniela not only took care of my two dogs (one is nervous and reactive, the other is a senior on joint meds), she loved them. Every picture she sent me showed them exploring, walking, or smiling. She communicated with me so consistently, and let me feel at peace being away for a week. Everything was in order when I got home- she even watered my plant and took in the mail- and, most importantly, my dogs were happy and well cared for! I would highly recommend Daniela and will be asking her to come back again.”


“Wynn is great with our dog, even took him on a walk in these sub-artic temperatures! I know he is always well taken care of when Wynn stops in for a mid-day visit.”


“Devynne was wonderful taking care of my Jameson. I was so nervous leaving my baby for the first time but she sent lots of videos which helped so much! Would absolutely recommend her.”


“Lindsay is the best! She always responds quickly, is very attentive to my dog, Sophie, and is really helpful. I am so lucky to have found her. I have booked Lindsay several times, and she will always be my number one choice to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend her!”


“Jessica was amazing, she arrived promptly and despite the bad weather had a nice play date with my dog Frank. She sent adorable pics which really brightened my day! I will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”


“Donna was an amazing sitter who got along with my cat greatly! She is very nice and obviously loves being around pets! Will definitely contact her again if I need a sitter!”


About: Looking for a loving, safe place for your dog while you’re away? We would love to help! As someone who has fostered and cared for dogs for years, we've developed a deep understanding of their needs. Growing up with animals, and having recently lost our beloved English Bulldog at the age of 14, our home feels incomplete without a furry friend. That’s why we'd love to welcome your dog into our life. Right now, my pet-free home is perfect for dogs who need to be the only pet. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor fun. We take daily walks and hikes for exercise and adventure. We offer a loving, one-on-one care from someone who truly treats dogs like family. As a part-time volunteer at my children’s school during the day, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your furry friend—whether it’s playing, going for walks, or enjoying a hike together. I have a fenced in yard on a wooden lot so your furry friend has plenty of room to explore without encountering strangers or other dogs. We have a crate available for dogs that are crate trained. Your dog would have free access anywhere in our house and yard following whatever rules you have at your home. We love to go hiking or the local park, if that is something you are ok with.

“Peyten is very friendly, responsive and flexible. She is great with my pup Luna! She does drop in walks and plays with Luna mid day. Would recommend her services and will continue to use Peyten in the future!”


“Christine was very prompt, professional, and caring with our pups. I would recommend her as she is very easy to work with and reliable. Our pups were very tired when we returned which always shows that your dogs are well exercised. We would book with Christine again.”


“Adrienne was super helpful checking in on our two cats for us while we were away last weekend. We had Detailed updates with pictures for all three drop-ins. Her love for animals is evident. We Would reserve her services again!”


“Kristen is the best, most caring rover I have ever had. She truly loves my fur baby like her own and has been very reliable! I hope she stays for a long time!”


“Donna is the sweetest pet sitter out there! She was timely, understanding, and consistent. Donna took so many cute photos and videos of my cat that helped me feel comfortable while I was away. I will 100% use her in the future!”


About: I know how important it is to find someone who really understands your dog’s needs, especially if your pup is nervous, shy, or slow to warm up. As the owner of a rescue dog myself, I have firsthand experience with dogs who are sensitive, easily stressed, or hesitant around new people. I approach every visit with patience, empathy, and respect for your dog’s peace and comfort level. Whether it takes a few minutes or a few visits, I’ll be there with calm, gentle energy to help your dog feel safe and supported. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily build pet care into my daily routine. I’m available during the day for check ins and potty breaks, or in the mornings and evenings for walks and quality time. I treat your home with respect and follow your pet’s routine to keep things calm and familiar. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to keep your pet happy and stress free until you’re home again.
