“Amber was amazing! She took such great care of our old man and treated him like her own! She was quick to respond to all messages, and sent us updates without using asking. I can not recommend her enough; we had such a peace of mind leaving our dog with her!”


“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”


“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”

“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”


“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of.

She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”

“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

“Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!”


“I didn’t know I needed a fairy dog mama until I booked with Jerimah!!! SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! From the initial inquiry until I picked up Bishop, she was great. She provided constant communication, sent photos, and even shared highlights of their time together. I have already stated raving about how great she is. 10 out of 10, I would definitely recommend!!!”


“Courtney and her husband were dog lovers for sure; they sent me pictures every day, and my dog was so attached to them. Courtney is very responsive and attentive, she answered my text and sent me the pictures even at midnight”
