“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“Yahret and her family are the best you could possibly ask for!! Incredible people who love my pup like their own. You couldn’t ask for a better family to watch your pup!!”

“Bradley was awesome and super friendly. Clean house with a cut spacious front and back lawn. Provided us with plenty of updates and would definitely take our dogs back to him!”

“Ms. Cheryl Turner was God sent. She treated my Fur-baby as if he was her own 🐶 Leo really enjoyed staying with Cheryl. She took him on walks, outings and drove him around in the car—Leo loves driving the car!😹😂 I would rate Cheryl 100⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went out of town, knowing that I did not have to worry about my fur-baby—which made my vacation SO much more relaxing and stress-free just knowing that my fur-baby was in excellent care. At our meet & greet Cheryl made us feel right at home—Leo made himself at home too!😍 Cheryl sent me daily updates/pics of their outings👏🏽🤳 If you’re looking for a “steller” sitter, I highly recommend Cheryl!!!⭐️🙋🏽♀️💕 #DogLover🐶”

“Whitney did a fabulous job. I have a dog that isn't comfortable with other dogs and new people. Whitney took this on like a champ and made my doggo feel right at home. I received so many updates while I was away.”

“Christine was great! She had excellent communication, and we got lots of pictures/videos while we were away! Charlie had a blast and made some new friends!”

“Elisa did a great job with Winston. It is not easy dealing with a high-energy 7-month puppy who is new to boarding and meeting other animals like kittens. She is very attentive, provides prompt pictures/updates, and Winston enjoys her fenced yard and dog.She is on my "speed dial."”

“This is the second time we’ve trusted Susseth with our two babies and and they love staying with her. They always have the best time playing with the other dogs and we love all of the pictures and updates we get.”


“Keri was so great with my dog! She sent me cute pics and plenty of updates. Her backyard was nice and spacious which I know my dog loved! I would absolutely book with her again and reccommend her”

“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”


“Ben was great with Crosby. He was really flexible and understanding about a scheduling error and seemed to have a good time with our boy. Ben was super friendly and helpful, made leaving our pup with him a lot easier.”

“Camilo has been amazing with our dog Momo. From day one, he was reliable, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs of different personalities. He communicates well, shows up on time, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. Momo always comes back happy, calm, and well exercised after every walk, and it was clear Camilo pays attention to details and routines. You can tell he treats this as a profession, not just a side gig. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and great with dogs, I would absolutely recommend Camilo as both a dog walker and sitter.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and even taught my puppy how to use the stairs. She has an awesome backyard and cozy home for pets to enjoy and lots of experience, she even has a vet background the moment she held my puppy she knew he had a hernia which I did not even know until a vet told me and I did not inform her she was smart enough to notice on her own.”

“Matt and Michelle took great care of Sydney and Lucy while we were gone for 9 days. They kept us updated while we were gone and sent us photos. We would use them again! Thanks guys!”

About: Caring for a pet means much more to me than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. I enjoy getting to know their personality, respecting their routine, and making sure they feel calm, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I am responsible, patient, and very attentive to each pet parent’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, habits, and preferences, which is why I carefully follow the instructions I’m given and maintain regular communication so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me. I offer walks and care for both dogs and cats, whether in my home, in the pet’s home, or during walks. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and paying attention to the little details, such as their behavior, eating habits, energy levels, and overall comfort. I also like to keep pet parents updated throughout the stay, sending photos and updates when appropriate. My goal is for your pet to receive personalized care and for you to have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I work part-time, which gives me enough flexibility to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. When you’re away from home, I can keep your pet company, play with them, give them plenty of affection, take them for walks, and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I also offer daycare in my home and overnight care, depending on each pet’s needs. I want them to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, just as they would at home, while their families are away. In my home, pets are part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced and secure yard with a small grassy area where they can go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. Inside the home, they have a comfortable and safe environment where they can relax and spend time with the family. I want pets to feel at home and be part of our family life, so I do not use crates as part of their daily routine. They are free to move around the safe areas of the house and yard, always taking into consideration their personality, needs, and their owner’s instructions. I have a one and a half year old Yorkie who is part of our family and is used to enjoying the house and yard freely. Of course, whenever I care for another pet, I respect their boundaries, energy level, and any special instructions provided by their family. If I care for your pet in your home, I maintain their usual routine and carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any other needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, accompanied, loved, and at home while you are away.
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”

“Luisa was so wonderful to our dog Millie while we were away for spring break. It was our first time leaving Millie and she took such great care of her. It took Millie a few days to adjust to being in a new place and Luisa was very attentive and sent us lots of updates. Thank you Luisa!”

“Ann had kept my 2 dogs at least 3 times this year and she is the absolute best. My pups love her, she has so much experience, and I never have to worry about something happening or going wrong when they are with her. On top of that she is very kind, compassionate and flexible. Can’t wait for our next stay!”

Janeth and her husband were absolutely amazing with Moose! We got so many pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose has lots of anxiety, but he seemed so calm, comfortable, and happy with her. It was clear he was getting lots of love and attention. We couldn't have asked for better care and would definitely book with Janeth again! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for somone who will care for their pet like family!

This is our second time having our dog stay with Barbara. She is amazing, and we feel confident having her care for our doodle. We especially love her amazing communication, the photos ever 3+ times/day, and ease of working with her. Lindey looks forward to her next visit with Barbara!
Malchom provided great care of my girl while we were away for 2 weeks. They treated her like a member of the family and I know she loved being with them! Thru sent daily updates and photos, much appreciated, and she came home happy and worn out- the perfect combo! Will certainly book with them again!

Harlem had the best time with Haley and Skipper. He got to play in the yard, go to the dog park, and he got lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I received numerous photos and videos each and every day, and it let me enjoy my trip without worrying one bit about his well being. Haley is the absolute best person to care for any dog.

Since our 2 dogs are seniors (18 & 15) and have special needs, we had to look for a person who understands the challenges of taking care of them. We got lucky with Angelina and how she was able to help take care of our dogs for a week while we were away. She was extremely flexible with learning what works for our dogs, and you could actually see that she cares. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day,on a daily basis, which was very much appreciated! I couldn't recommend her enough, esp if you're looking for a sitter/caregiver that understands seniors and special needs dogs.

Jasmin & her pup, Andy, were our dog’s dream come true. Peach was showered with love, play with Andy, time in the beautiful yard, and plenty of walking. Delightful pics and videos were sent daily. Truly the highest quality sitters on the Rover market. Thank you to Jasmin & family!
