“When I picked up Rocky at the end of our visit, he was calm and happy and not particularly excited to see me. This is the highest possible praise for Nicole. Normally my dog is an anxious mess after not seeing me for even a few hours, so he must have felt safe and been extremely well cared-for. Pick up and drop off were seamless, Nicole sent just enough pictures and updates. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of animals since the age of 7. I started with a bunny and 10 years later my family got two dogs. I occasionally walk dogs in my neighborhood. In the middle of a job transistion so I am very flexible right now with my schedule. Availability most days morning afternoon or evening for the next several weeks. I have a fenced in yard, a cozy dog crate, treats, and plenty of toys to play with to keep dogs safe, secure, and happy.
About: I have been the proud dog dad of Franklin, a rescue 15 year old terrier mix who suffers from separation anxiety, for over 10 years. More recently, I have cared for him through eye removal surgery as well as terminal joint and heart issues. As a result, I have experience giving oral, ocular and topical medications. I have this experience with other dogs as well, as I am always quick to volunteer for any opportunity to walk or babysit a friend or families dog - even going so far as to visit dogs rather than people at family weddings. I am a recovering lawyer who wants to devote 100% of my time to your dog! Please check my schedule or reach out. Thanks, and tell your dog I said hi! First and foremost, I care for animals by showing them love and respect. When it comes to caring for your pet, I will conscientiously follow all instructions you provide and never put your pet in any danger. I am 100% focused on your dog when they're in my care, so I don't give them an opportunity to do anything unsafe!
“I only have great things to say about our experiences with Shawna! She's great at communicating - she was always quick to respond to qurstions and sent daily updates and pictures. She is also just a very nice person who immediately puts you at ease when leaving your pup in her care. She took great care of our guy and we will definitely use her again!”
“Alissa was terrific!! We were nervous to leave our pup but Alissa put us right at ease sending us updates with pictures throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her services:)”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pooch. I am sure he enjoyed the company (canine and human), the outside time, and such comfortable inside accommodations. I am sure he will want to come for another visit soon!”
“James and Reichel are the best dog sitters! My dogs hate being left behind so I was shocked when they ran to James because they were so excited! Lots of great pics and videos and you can tell they love your dogs like their own.”
About: Your pet is not a guest in our house, it’s a loved family member for life! We individually your pet’s care based on its preferences and habits. I am a pet lover working from home who loves the company and snuggles. My kids are crazy about dogs and love them dearly also. We live in a beautiful home with a big fenced in yard but do take the dog(s) out daily to explore in the woods and have fun!
“Elizabeth watched my two dogs for the first time for two nights. My two seven year old boys are higher energy requiring more attention than many other dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and deeply responsible. Both my dog felt right at home from early on and absolutely enjoyed the walks and playtime. She sent me regular updates with pictures allowing total peace of mind. Perhaps more importantly, my two knuckleheads found a new best friend and I found a sitter that will definitely be used again for future needs.”
“Christian responded quickly to our initial request & because we had a long drive he agreed to accommodate a 2 hour drop off window (we texted updates). He was friendly at drop off, happily engaged the dogs, asked good questions about their needs & sent photos as requested. At pick-up he offered details about their stay. Both dogs were happy to see us but seemed to have enjoyed their night with Christian. Would book again”
“Paul took excellent care of my dog Pierre while I was away for 4 days. Pierre became a member of the family, eating, sleeping, hiking, playing and just hanging out. I was very reassured to see how excited & happy Pierre became when Paul arrived to pick him up. Pierre was a shelter dog, and has struggled with anxiety, so this was momentous! I will certainly use Paul again through Rover for any other services I need!”

“We hired Georgina after the person who we had hired to care for our dog was not available. We have a great experience with her. She aswered back very quick to all of our messages. Our dog seems to enyoy the time with her and her dog. We recommend her.”
“Rick and Laura are the best, and our dog could feel it the moment she met them! Sophie enjoyed playing in the fenced-in yard, going for walks and even a hike. She is timid about some things, like seeing other dogs, but Rick and Laura took the time to help her through it, so she could continue her walks. Great communication, frequent updates, and the level of care is phenomenal. Their love and compassion for animals really shows. We're planning to have Sophie go for some day stays, since she had such a great time!”
“My dog never gets left with anyone because I know how nervous she gets but we couldn’t bring her on a trip and Briana and her family were a perfect match for her. Coco was used to lots of attention with my kids and she loved it there. She was well cared for and I had complete trust she was in good hands. Thanks Briana!”
“Kassandra was a great sitter. She was able to help my girlfriend and I last minute by looking after our puppy while we were at work. She sent us a lot of great photos throughout the day of our puppy and made sure she was cared for all day. Would highly recommend other pet parents seek her out for help”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 yrs old there’s nothing I love more than taking care of dogs and making sure there happy and need everything they deserve, I’ve taken care from puppy to senior dogs. Til this day I make time for animals I have 4 days off out of the week and I would love to help out those who need genuine care for there dogs I always make sure my dogs are on a leash, making sure there’s no wild animals out in the yard before I take them out, if I’m walking your dog and I see another dog coming I put myself to the side holding the dog close enough in where the other dog don’t get near us.
“Liz was GREAT!!!!!! She watched my pit bull mix for a few days and I could not be happier with the overall experience. Liz was very very very accommodating with pick-up/drop-off times, thorough with my dog's needs, easy to communicate with, and she even sent me frequent text updates & pics of my dog. Plus her fenced in yard was a HUGE bonus. I would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Alexio was a wonderful overnight carer for our nervous 12 year old Yorkie. He asked pertinent questions about our dog so he could provide a comforting and familiar environment: he had good ideas about how to cope with peculiarities of our particular dog. Alexio took our dog out for plenty of walks, which he really enjoys, providing sufficient opportunities for relief; he also stuck to the medicine schedule ensuring that our dog's health was maintained. Alexio managed giving a variety of medications and eye drops, which can be tricky with an unfamiliar pet. We received plenty of photographs documenting how our dog was doing, which was comforting. When we picked up our dog he was calm and happy. We'll certainly ask Alexio to care for our dog in the future!
I had such a wonderful experience with Karen! After our initial meet and greet, I was able to easily book our stay online. In between the meet and greet and my dog’s stay, some of his needs changed due to a recent separation anxiety diagnosis. Karen was incredibly understanding, accommodating, and reassuring. She was able to administer his medication and prepare his homemade food with ease, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her home and backyard are absolutely lovely and provide the perfect environment for a dog. My dog loved having the space to play, and he got along wonderfully with Karen’s dog. Karen communicated throughout his stay with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. Pick-up and drop-off were also a breeze, and she handled everything so easily. My dog seemed to acclimate very quickly to her home, her family, and her dog, which meant so much to me. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. She was able to give him individualized attention. I truly feel like she is a rare find and genuinely cares about the pets in her care. I’m so grateful we found her!
Gabi was a phenomenal host to our 11 year-old dog. She took her for multiple daily walks, sent photos, and kept us informed of our pet’s well-being. Gabi was very thorough throughout the entire process, from taking time to meet our dog ahead of the three-day stay, to sending communications us throughout the weekend. We were lucky to find Gabi!
We are extremely happy with the care and attention Jodi gave our 11-year old terrier mix, Dasher. Jodi offered us a meet and greet before our vacation dates that put us at ease right away. Dasher checked out her home with his nose while reviewed his daily routines, medicines and likes/dislikes. Jodi asked great questions that showed us that she truly loves dogs and gets their individual personality quirks. Dasher took to her quickly and enjoyed ear rubs during our meeting. We received at least one message and photo of Dasher from Jodi each day he was in her care. He clearly looked happy and comfortable, and got lap time with Jodi as well as walks and supervised yard time. We're already booked to have Jodi care for Dasher again soon. Highly recommend!
