“Karla was excellent in watching our Rubble. He has a history of seizures so he needs someone to stay with him overnight in case of an episode. She was very accommodating and provided quick feedback to our questions while we were away. We loved having her and look forward to working with her again.”

“Sara did such a great job with my 3 dogs! I think they were disappointed it was only me when I finally got home! She was so responsive to my crazy dog mom questions and she stayed in my home and tooks such good care of it as well. I am so happy that I have her booked for my next trip!”

“We had an incredible experience with Ehlaura! She watched our dog for a long weekend and our dogs were taken such good care of and our house was better than when we left. She communicated often and quickly and made for a stress free vacation. Will be booking for additional services and would highly recommend her to everyone!”

“Anna is terrific! We have not used Rover before and were a little hesitant with someone staying in our home when we plan on going on vacation. Several weeks before our trip, Anna Mei came to our house and spent about 2 hours with us and our dogs. That was a great way for us to get to know each other and see how comfortable our dogs were with her and she with our dogs. At her suggestion, we spent one night in a hotel as a trial run while she stayed with our dogs. Everything went really well, and she kept us updated on what was going on. She definitely earned our trust, and we are relieved that we found a reliable sitter for when we are on our vacation. We will definitely request her again. Thanks Anna!”

“Ashley is wonderful! This was our first time using the Rover service. She took great care of our boy, Rokket. She let us know what they did for the day and would send us pictures. If we needed her services we would definitely book her again! Rokket approved!”

“We've had less than positive experiences with boarding in the past and our dogs are a rambunctious bunch. They need constant supervision to keep them and the wildlife in our yard safe so house sitting is our only option. Macy took care of everything, stayed for the whole long weekend, and we came home to untraumatized dogs. Would definitely book again!”

“Angela was great with our 2 dachshunds! She gave us updated and pictures with each visit which we loved!! We will definitely book with her again knowing our dogs are in good hands!”

“Ashlyn did a great job watching our three peis. She was very communicative and sent updates with pictures. She was able to meet all their needs including administering medication for one of them and she left the house was neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend her and would also use her again.”
“We had such a great experience with Michelle. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated. Our 3 Doodles were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We’ll absolutely book again and highly recommend! Thank you, Michelle!!!!!!”

About: I have my own pup who is now 4 years old and I started out as a pet sitter for my neighbor for a good couple of years. I have experience with senior as well as small dogs.

I can leash walk your dog, play with them off leash in an enclosed area, feed them, crate them, or just hang out and cuddle. I work part time a couple days a week but animals are a true passion of mine and i always have time for pet in need of service I make sure that the clients home looks just as good as it did before when I leave. I like to make sure that after a long vacation a client comes home and the last thing on their mind is their pet! I’ve got everything covered and your pet will always be in great hands!
“Key was very respectful of our home and our pups. She managed our expectations and I think it should be noted here: she does not stay in the home with your dogs, more like drop on visits in bulk. Exactly what we needed. Thank you Key!”

“We needed a sitter super last minute & Laura came to the rescue! Our pups warmed up to her immediately & I had no worries about leaving them with her while we were away. She not only treated us & our dogs with respect but also our home. I would book her again without a doubt!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy!

Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority.

I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.
“Joselyn was amazing, and I'd recommend her to anyone! She consistently responded in a very short amount of time. She came over for a home visit before and asked a lot of great questions and interacted well with my pets. She was very thorough and took very good care of my animal house (cat, hedgehog, hamster and fish!) and was very respectful of our home and little ones. I would not hesitate to rebook or recommend her :)”
“Kathryn was fantastic, and I would highly recommend her to anyone. We have two dogs, one of which can be very nervous. Kathryn came over before our trip and made sure to befriend (Shadow, the anxious dog) even before we left to help make the transition smooth. She walked the dogs while we were away, sent us pictures of them, and was clean. Great experience overall. We will for sure be using her again in the future! 10/10 stars”

Karla is the absolute best with our boys! She was constantly updating us and sending pictures, we also came back to a clean house! Thank you so much for taking care of our babies, you will definitely be the only one to watch them in the future! Highly recommend!! 🐾

We had a wonderful experience with our sitter. She took such loving care of our pups and treated our home with the utmost respect. She kept in great communication throughout the day and was so thoughtful and attentive! She bonded with all of our dogs right away and they clearly adored her. She went above and beyond in every single way. She is responsible, kindhearted, and truly treats your pets and your home like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!

Kacie is great! She’s very organized, communicates throughout her stay, sends pictures and most importantly takes great care of my pups! She’s also very helpful while she was at my house by bringing in my packages that were delivered and was willing to bring in my trashcan since my trip coincided with trash day. Kacie is observant and takes great care of my pups and lets me know if she notices anything that I may need to keep an eye on, like when she noticed one of my dogs was having some eye irritation. I would definitely recommend Kacie if you need a great sitter!

We had the pleasure of working with Kayden, who cared for our four dogs while we were away, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and professionalism provided. Managing multiple pets is no small task, but she handled it with ease, attention to detail, and genuine affection for each of our dogs. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Kayden provided regular updates, photos, and promptly addressed any questions or concerns. It was clear from the start that she took the responsibility seriously and had a true love for animals. Our dogs were happy, well-exercised, and relaxed upon our return — a testament to the calm and caring environment Kayden created for them. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, especially for households with multiple pets. We will absolutely be booking Kayden again in the future!

Fabulous job! Our dogs, guinea pig, and wild flying squirrels were very pleased and well taken care of in our home with all of their routines intact. Also, we were helping our next-door neighbor sell their house and of course they needed assistance while we were away. They needed some paperwork handed off and Courtney stepped up to help. Would book again!
