1. Heather J.


“This was our 1st time using Rover and we couldn’t have been happier with Heather’s care of our dog. We were away on vacation for a week and she sent us daily (sometimes twice a day!) pictures and updates. Our dog is an only dog in our house and he he quickly became besties with her dog Zephyr who is a very gentle and even tempered dog. We highly recommend Heather and Wes for boarding and we look forward to having our dog go back when we need boarding!”

“Samantha and Sara are absolutely terrific! Hobbes stayed with them over this past brutally cold weekend and were so attentive and wonderful while we were busy with our son's wedding. Thanks so much for welcoming Hobbes into your home! He loved staying with you.”

7. Emily F.

“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”


8. Sherry Plath O.

“My big wannabe lap dog had a great time at Sherry’s house. I was updated with pics on how he was doing throughout his stay. He had lots of fun with Gus her golden retriever. Would recommend and use again for future stays.”


9. April R.
“Our dog, Gus, had such a wonderful time staying with April and Cory. It was so nice knowing he was in the best of care while we were away. They were fantastic communicators always sending us pictures of our pup letting us know what he was up to. This is our second time using them for overnight care, and we’ll definitely continue to come back! ☺️”


10. Erica H.

“I can't recommend Erica highly enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away. From daily updates and adorable photos to ensuring my pup got plenty of exercise and playtime, her attention to detail was outstanding. My dog came home happy and healthy, and it was clear she received so much love and attention. Erica is reliable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about caring for pets. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next trip!”


11. Carol S.

“Carol was so kind and warm and my sweet Daphne felt very at home with her and Shorty while we traveled. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet beforehand and that she sent photo updates while we were away. When our return flights were delayed, Carol was gracious and flexible about the extra time. I feel lucky to have found such a great person and petsitter.”


12. Emily O.

“We loved Emily! Our Goldendoodle Sadie stayed at her house for a little over a week. She was well cared for and we appreciated the photos, video and comments we got every day from her. We will definitely use Emily again!”


13. Megan O.

“We need someone on short notice to watch our dog, while we are on Vacation. She stepped up and took care of our dog. Bella had so much fun over and we will have her watch our dog again.”


14. Kathleen M.

“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”

17. Donna T.

“My dogs had a great time with Donna and her crew. The only downside is, they could've cared less that I came and picked them up. They were like......"oh there's what's his name to pick us up. Darn it." Will definitely send them back when I need to board them again.”


18. Mary L.

“Mary was an awesome sitter for a last minute booking. Great communication and neighborhood/home/surroundings were very nice!! Lilly can’t wait to visit again!”


19. Kelsey N.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I most recently had a Great Dane and previously a Shitzu. I have cared for friends animals as well. I work a rotating schedule so my availability will change but I will keep it up to date on the app and will be available regularly. I have a large fenced in yard with a pet free and child free home. Your dog will have my full attention and free roam of the home if that is ok with you.


20. Olivia M.

“One of the best sites I have had. My boy is very important to me and Olivia understood. I received pictures and updates on a regular basis. The pictures told me all I needed to know. Je was happy and being well taken care of. He was shedding like crazy I felt so bad but Olivia said she didn't mind and brushed him. He looked great when I picked him up. Will definitely recommend and go back if she'll have Ted. Thank you!”
