“Cashmere and I love Tara. She is thoughtful. During the storm, I couldn’t make it to Cashmere. She kept her for me. She ensured that Cashmere was safe and as well as me. She always sends videos.”

“Derek took great care of Zai! He was available at the last minute and very communicative! Zai was a little nervous for the first night but Derek made sure she was loved in and she warmed up quickly with his pup. Thanks Derek! We’ll definitely use you again .”
“Shanina takes such good care of Zelda while I am away- once again she came back to me happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!! We will see you again soon! 🫶🏼”
“Shoshana (and her family) was the perfect sitter for my senior dog. She provided plenty of updates and was amazing with keeping my dog happy while I was away. Her house setup is perfect for dogs, especially dogs that enjoy hanging out with other pups. I truly appreciate her care for Reagan while I was away and recommend her services for anyone else looking for a reliable sitter to provide loving care for their pets.”
“Madeline was amazing with our French bulldog!! Sincerely a 10/10. She sent lots of pictures, and updated us throughout the week! We were super nervous since this was our first time on Rover but would highly recommend her. Next time we leave we will check in with her first. Thanks Madeline!!”
“Boarded my puppy for over a week with Rebecca. She was great with communication and sent me photo updates every day. My dog seemed to have a great time there.”
“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Atlas! She was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs, and I loved that she sent me updates throughout his stay. It made such a difference being able to see him happy and settled, giving me 100% confident that he was in great hands and being well taken care of the entire time! 🤍 Would recommend and book again.”
“Abby watched Tobi and Maki for a little over a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better care! Her communication was incredible- she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates, including the cutest clips of her interacting with our dogs and their dog Theon playing with Maki! It gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. She lives right by plenty of grassy areas and parks, so our pups got tons of outdoor time, walks, and enrichment. She was also super accommodating with our dogs’ very specific breakfast routine and followed all instructions perfectly. When we got home, Tobi and Maki were both happy and relaxed, which tells us everything we need to know about how well they were cared for. We would absolutely book Abby again. She’s truly a gem!”
“Melissa and Dustin take such good care of our dogs! They always have a great time over at their house! Our dogs get so many cuddles and activities! They were very understanding when our flights got cancelled and we needed to extend stay! The best sitters!! ❤️”
“WOW! So very, very grateful to have found Amy and her wonderful family! My pup-dog was so well-loved and enjoyed tons of play time, snuggles, and lots of TLC. He had such a good time and was SO happy! When the entire family stood out in the yard to wave good-bye, it was so sweet that it was very hard not to cry! I highly recommend Amy... except if I need her at the same time you do! LOL!! She's terrific!!!!”
About: I’m a dependable animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and good at following routines, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving pets extra attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable communication and updates so you can feel at ease. I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels, from playful dogs to more relaxed pets who just want company.Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority, and I’ll treat them with the same care I’d want for my own. ❤️ I am full-time at home with no other responsibilities outside of caring for your pet, which means I’m available for consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and even short-notice bookings whenever needed. I have a non-fenced yard with lots of area to play and run. I have no animals of my own, so that is nothing to be concerned about. However, I don't own any crates or leashes to use with your pet.
“There's no one I trust more with my pup's care than Madelyn! My pup, Millie is always happy, at-home, and well-cared for with Madelyn. Madelyn is responsible, communicative, kind, and so very accommodating. Recently, I had a medical emergency while Millie was boarded. Madelyn offered above-and-beyond services to make sure Millie had care until I could return. Highly recommend!!”

I've found my forever sitter for Wesley! Justin and his wife are super! It takes special people to handle all the energy Wesley has to expend! Somehow, Wesley was quite calm at their house. Maybe Wesley felt special, spoiled and free. He will be returning that's for sure.
Mark was great! He took great care introducing Bear to the other dogs in his care. He communicated well when my instructions were unclear and also sent an update with multiple pictures each day. It was obvious Bear was living his best life playing in Mark’s backyard with the other dogs! We would definitely recommend Mark and will use him again!
