“Eman was excellent! She has excellent skills with dogs and sent us pictures throughout the day of our baby! He slept well and had fun on their farm on nature walks! This is Kings first time ever staying with anyone other than family, Eman was just like family and we appreciate her!”
“JeBecca absolutely LOVED her stay with Cheyanne and her family. Cheyanne sent several pictures everyday showing JeBecca playing with her other dogs/puppy. I am so thrilled that I have found such a loving family to watch over my fur baby when I have to go out of town. 10 out of 10, the BEST!”
“Layna was a great sitter for my dog. He is still young and active, and he came home ready for a restful evening after quick run around home. Upon returning home, I think my dog may have missed having another dog to occupy his indoor time. I will definitely use Layna for future bookings.”
About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I’m committed to taking the best care of your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust! I currently work from home all week & am available pretty much all day for potty breaks, feedings and play time! I live near a lot of trails and I love walking companions! I have one small dog who would absolutely love a play partner. I live in a very walkable location and my husband and I are constantly taking our dog for walks, another companion would be great! My schedule is so flexible so I am able to accommodate any specific needs!
“I was a nervous wreck! John and his fiancée were wonderful hosts for my 2 large, spoiled dogs. The dogs had access to their home and a huge backyard. I got photos and updates, daily. The dogs came back happy and tired. Will definitely use them again!”
About: As a pet parent myself, I treat every pet like family not just a job. I know how important it is to have someone who genuinely cares. “I send consistent updates, pics, and videos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.I take time to learn your pet’s personality, quirks, and routines to give them care that feels like home.Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being calm company, I adapt to your pet’s energy and needs not the other way around. I also help with my mom's pet transport business so Ive been around all breeds and know how to care for them. Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life ,I'm a pet parent myself, so my days already revolve around feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love. Adding other pets into my routine just feels like expanding the family In My Home When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I make sure they have a cozy, stress-free space with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I stick to their usual routine,mealtimes, potty breaks, and sleep schedule to help them feel at ease. I also keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and safe, with lots of toys and comfy spots for relaxing. In Your Home (house sitting/drop-ins): When I’m in your pet’s home, I aim to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding instructions, walking times, medication needs, and any quirks that make your pet feel secure. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected:mail brought in, lights managed, and your pet loved on every step of the way. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always get daily updates, photos, and any notes on how things are going. Whether your pet is playful or more low-key, I match their vibe and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for.
“Alexis watched my dog Cassie while I was in town for a few days. She was communicative in the lead up and during the stay. She took great care of Cassie and I would definitely book with her again next time I'm in town.”
“Marketa and her family were so sweet to Snickers and treated him wonderfully. He came home happy and healthy! I loved all the pictures and updates sent throughout the week. Definitely will use again in the future!”
“Sofia was fantastic—super accommodating and flexible, very communicative, and such a sweet and gentle caregiver for my kitty. I boarded Kiwi with her for a week on super short noticed, and she was willing to go above and beyond with pick up / drop off, daily medicine giving, and regular photo updates. I wish she lived in Boston year-round so that she could be my go-to sitter when I’m away for work trips! I’d 10/10 recommend Sofia to anyone looking for a Rover sitter!”
“Pamela and her family are very friendly and gave me a good feeling about leaving my pup with her. Pamela has great communication and even offered a “meet and greet” before I scheduled the booking. I will definitely use Pamela and her family again.”
“Cody was absolutely fantastic with Bella and Gracie. From the moment I dropped them off, I felt confident they were in great hands. He was incredibly kind and attentive—not only taking excellent care of them, but also spending quality time playing with them and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. He even went above and beyond by sending me videos and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Bella and Gracie really seemed at ease with him, and I could tell they had a great time. I would absolutely trust Cody to watch them again—no hesitation. Highly recommend!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for most of my life, including huskies, shepherd mixes, hounds and small breeds. I have cared for several senior dogs and worked closely with a trainer for my husky pup. I work a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to devote to your fur baby! I live an active lifestyle so I can provide lots of outdoor exercise time as needed. I am comfortable with taking your fur baby on walks, feeding and playtime as well as litter box cleaning for the kitties. I am respectful, calm, clean and reliable.
“Jennifer was very attentive to my sweet puppy and flexible with pick up/drop off times. She is very professional and prepared for the job. Will definitely be using her services again!”
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and taken care of them from a young age! We have experience with small dogs and large dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. My husband has a flexible work schedule that allows him to come home frequently and when needed for pet care. I am home midday in between working that allows time for walks, potty breaks, etc. For boarding services, we prefer small to medium sized dogs as this best fits our home size! We have plenty of space for walks at our apartment complex. We are happy to house-sit as well, if preferred!
“Heather is super awesome and very sweet! She treated my puppy as her own and sent lots of pictures! Her other pups are so cute and playful, Zeus had his own vacation with them! ? will book again and again!”
“Jaimee and her family cared for our dog while we were away for several days. They took wonderful care of him and made him a part of their family. She is fast to respond and sent pictures every day while we were away! Would definitely recommend to others looking for a sitter.”

My dog can be a little anxious in new environments, but Lexie treated her like family—patient, attentive, and full of love.
