“Vinny loved his time with Erika & Mark! They have a lovely home with a great yard for all the doggy play time! Vinny got along so well with their dog, Nora. They became instant besties and I loved I receiving all the cute photos and videos throughout the day! I felt so comfortable knowing he was in great care. Vinny would love to see Nora + Family again soon 🐾💘”

“Michelle and Steve treated our puppy like one of their own. Their home is a doggy's dream playground and their dog Daisy is a very sweet and friendly companion. Tapi loves going there and can't wait to go inside during drop off. We'll definitely use their services again.”

“Tiffany was amazing with milo! Milo unfortunately was dealing with allergies and was in a cone. Tiffany assured that was not an issue at all and milo had a blast ! He was whining not wanting to leave on pick up !”

“Thank you for taking such great care of our two puppies. This is our first time leaving our puppies in the care of someone else and we feel very fortunate that we found a family that will love them like we do. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Our little Penny's first sitter and we couldn't be happier. Perfect yard, other friendly pups, and caring household. Everything to make us feel comfortable. Thank you Kate!”

“Christy did an awesome job watching my dog - she was great with communication and sent so many pictures and videos while he was there! The second day pulling onto her street, he got soo excited in the car that he was coming back and having the closed in backyard was great for my energetic dog, would definitely recommend!”


About: I am an animal lover at heart. I have had cats and dogs for a good portion of my life and treat them as my family. Currently I am working with Second Chance Dog Rescue as a foster mom for shelter dogs. Being a foster mom has been a very rewarding experience by providing rescued dogs with the love and socialization necessary to find their furever home. I work from home full-time which will allow your dog to be loved and cared for while you are out of town. I have been dog sitting (for large and small dogs) for friends for 20+ years, as well as, owning my own dogs and cats. While at my house your dog will play with my 3 small dogs and have plenty of time to play in the yard. Book your stay today, I would love to meet you and your dog! I work full-time from home. Your dog will be with me while I work and will play with my three dogs. I take all animals out for potty breaks every couple hours. This routine is very familiar to me as I have been doing it for 14+ years. I have a completely fenced yard. When your dog goes out to play or go potty, I will be there supervising to ensure all is well. I have a big turf area in my yard for dogs to run and play. All dogs will sleep inside the house either with me in the bedroom or in a crate if they are crate trained. I work from home full-time. Wake up time is between 6-7 AM. Dogs are fed around 7 AM for breakfast and 5 PM for dinner. Your dog will hang out with me while I work inside my home. I have a completely fenced in yard where your dog will run and play on the turf with my dogs. We like to play fetch as well.
“They have provided such great care for my Belle after moving here recently from Arizona my biggest stress was finding a place for her on my long workdays. So grateful to have found the perfect place for her.”

“I usually don’t like to leave my dog with strangers but I’m so glad someone like Claire is able to take care of my boy, and show him love. Claire is very loving and responsive. I’d definitely take any pet to her before anyone else on this app. I can tell my dog loves going over there with her!”


“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”
“Hana is so sweet and such a professional! You can tell how much she cares for dogs and her knowledge is vast with dog training! Our dog, Brodie, used to go to daycare at a big facility but would always be too overstimulated. With Hana, his demeanor is way better! Would recommend her to anybody!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve helped neighbors and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and general care, and I’ve also fostered kittens. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a gentler approach. Spending time with animals means a lot to me, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a full-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or check-ins, I can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. My schedule is especially open during the summer, with even more daytime availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and any medications—so your pet feels secure and well cared for. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, stay aware of our surroundings, and choose calm, pet-friendly routes. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and ensure everything is secure while you’re away. For boarding and daycare, I offer a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I have a small fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs to a nearby dog park if requested. I’m mindful of each dog’s comfort level and energy, and I tailor care to match. I provide consistent photo updates for walks, meals, medications, and playtime so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to offer dependable, thoughtful care that gives you complete peace of mind—and helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.
“We are from Denver and booked Liz to watch our golden retriever while we went to hike Hanging Lake. Liz was SO great. She was super responsive and really prompt. We dropped off our pup early and she was waiting outside to get her and brought her out for us when we got back. It truly couldn't have been easier. It was clear that she took great care of our girl. I highly recommend her for locals or traveling hikers!”

“Our Jo is always so so happy to visit Shannon’s, she doesn’t even look back at us on her way in! We really couldn’t ask for a better place and people for her play days and boarding ❤️”

About: Hi! I have my own 2 yr old dog Ozzy. So i know what it is like to leave your pet while out of town! Communication, and following your detailed instructions are very important. Tell me what your pet loves. I work remote so I am very flexible when checking in. I make my own schedule most of the time which will allow me to check in on your pet at anytime. I make sure to take my own pup on walks early AM. But happy to adjust to your pets needs I live near dog parks, i walk 10,000 steps a day, and my pup is very friendly. If you’d like your pet to not to be around my pup this is understandable and we can discuss this.

Ari was absolutely exceptional with Venus and Killian! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, clear, and so reassuring. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos from their walks! Both of them came home so happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Ari took the time to give them attention, love, and a great experience. I would 100% trust Ari again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets. Thank you again!
