“Lori was an absolute joy and pleasure to sit my pup. My furboy was happy and content 100% of the time and she sent plenty of pics with plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend people to book with her!”
“Ashley and David were super nice, kept good communication and took good care of my dog for the weekend while we were out of town. Great hosts for my pup and would recommend to anyone looking for a good sitter :) Thanks again!”
“Sydney was amazing! She took extra care in gathering information about our pup to ensure his comfort and care. I get anxious about leaving him overnight, but we felt at easy during his week long stay - we received daily updates/pictures and could tell our boy had a blast! Sydney also updated us when our dog's allergies started acting up and administered his medication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a pupsitter 😊”
About: I’m a retired teacher who loves all animals. I want to play with your fur babies. I’ve had 4 cats and 4 dogs and know how important it is to have a loving relationship with a pet. I know how much your pet means to you and I would love your trust in such a big role in your pets life. I’m newly retired and have a wide open schedule to care for your baby’s needs. I’m available 24/7. I can travel, stay, and play with your babies The way I would look after your pet would be the same as I look after my own. Nurturing and patience are my most important values. I can walk and play, administer medications, and do some light training and grooming.
“Chip had plenty of room to run. Settled in and got so much attention from the kids. Was one happy pup and could tell he felt right at home. Appreciated all the photos sent to keep up while we were away.”
“Laura is amazing! Period! We left our dog with her while traveling over the holiday and could not have been more comfortable having him in her family's care. She treated our boy like he was a member of the family. He has never relaxed into a new place as quickly as he did in her home. We 100% will book with Laura every time we are in need of someone to watch our dog b/c the peace of mind knowing he was being treated so well was awesome.”
“We were very nervous to leave our 7 month-old golden with a Rover for the first time but she was well taken care of and had lots of fun. Amanda sent a lot of pictures too which eased our minds!”
“Stephanie was a great sitter for my border collie, and sent daily updates and a few photos during the week I was overseas. She listened to the few instructions I left, and i could not have found a better sitter. Excellent communication. 5-star recommendation. Will use again.”
“We planned a spur of the moment overnight stay for memorial day weekend and Samantha was the perfect fit for that trip. Molly had a great stay with Samantha! And we loved her flexibility with timing and amazing communication. We appreciated her photos and updates and felt like we could thoroughly enjoy our time away knowing our girl was safe! Thanks again for everything!!”
“Chandler boarded with Lia and Jonathan for the first time, he had a blast. I received regular updates and pictures of him interacting with their dog and another dog that was boarding. I felt so at ease and received prompt response when I texted with questions about Chandler. They have a great yard he could run and play in and was super tired when I picked him up!”
“Steven has cared for my dog twice now and my dog has come back home well cared for and happy. Steven is accommodating and communicates well. Due to delays in our trip he kept our dog for longer and helped us. Thanks”
“Britnie is amazing. She’s very communicative and helpful, sending us loads of pictures every day. My dog is always very happy with her, and so are we!”
“Kayla was so amazing with our cat! she communicates very quickly and sends lots of updates :) I felt so at ease and safe leaving our little kitty with her ❤️ Will def be rebooking in the future !!!!”
“Teresa was an absolute angel in disguise. She took care of my babies (dogs) that are 11 and 14. They have never been boarded or watched by someone other than family. I couldn’t have been more blessed to find her. I was just sick about leaving them but she was so wonderful with daily updates and pictures and you can tell she just loves animals. My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary trip because we knew she was loving our dogs as we do. Her husband and son were great too! We thank them From the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care and loving on them for the week! If I could give 10000000 stars I would !!!!!! Thank you from Owen and Zoey and of course mom and dad🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰”
“Ekaterina was a great host for my Lilly! She kept updated on how Lilly was doing and sent me plenty of pictures and videos during my weekend away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! She had a great set up with where dogs stayed, play time and time outside. :) I would trust Ekaterina again to watch my dog when I go on a trip.”
“Katie was amazing! She made me feel so at ease and comfortable knowing my Fiona was in her care. Fiona was so happy to get to Katie’s house and looked so happy in her pictures! I can’t thank Katie enough for taking care of my girl!!!”
“Molly does an EXCEPTIONAL job with our home and pets every time. She follows our routine and keeps everything in order while we are away and can relax and trust everything is well cared for. We cannot recommend her and her talent with animals enough. She is beautiful inside and out and gifted with love for pets and plants! 15/10!!”
“I’m so happy i found June to care for Pepper while I was away. She is extremely thorough, communicative and sends many pictures and updates which I love. Pepper had a vacation of her own there and had such a great time and received so much love! Best rover I’ve had and will hopefully get to have her stay with June and her family again”

Molly is the best human, truly kindness personified! That kindness shines through in the way she cares for our dogs while we’re away. She gives them exceptional attention, loves on them endlessly, and spoils them just the right amount (because really, can you ever spoil them too much?). We couldn’t recommend Molly more highly to anyone looking for someone to love and care for their pets like family
Ashley & David were great, I am certain Tig would be happy to go back to play with kids and dogs. Great updates and response to my questions. I can't recommend them enough. If you want your dog in a home and not a kennel, then David and Ashley are the place to use.
Molly took great care of our puppy Asher. It was the first time we left him and it was for 10 days. Molly took care of him in her home, provided updates every day, gave him lots of love, and even work with him on walking on a leash. We will definitely be using her services in the future. We highly recommend Molly!!!
Molly is amazing. We basically have a small zoo over here and she was attentive and caring with every animal! She sent pics while we were gone which we loved. She went above and beyond with our two puppies. Took amazing care of them and helped train them a bit too! I really felt like I could trust her and I knew all of the animals were in great hands! 10/10! Super sweet and friendly too!
