“This was my first time using Rover for my pet Shelby. I was pretty lucky to find a great pet sitter, Jenna was fantastic. She has a wonderful puppy friendly home and is very knowledgeable and loving with animals. I'm grateful my puppy was in good hands.”
“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 😊”
“Lisa was so accommodating with my fluctuating schedule. She took great care of my Tank. He must have played an awful lot because he slept most of the next day after I picked him up.”
“Can’t thank Cheri enough for taking such good care of Denali while we were out of town! She provided frequent updates and spoiled Denali with lots of playtime. It is nice to have someone you can trust with your pets while away. Will most definitely use Cheri again!”
“We are so glad that we found Laura she's such a caring person. She's the best we ever had. Very focused highly responsive. Keep sending updates and pictures about everything including meals and recreation. One on one attention. Highly recommend.”
“We were very excited and nervous to leave our puppy with a sitter. Snickers, is easy and we knew we would have no problem. Luna, our very energetic puppy we were nervous, Britnie introduced her slowly and she played well with the other dogs. Britney sent daily notes and pictures that made us feel very comfortable about what they were doing. We will ask Britnie to watch our furbabies again.”
About: I’ve had both large and small breed dogs my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Bloodhound mix named Otis and a 1 year old cat named Stars. Otis is the sweetest guy and is a great friend to his furry pals when he is boarded. I have fostered a dog before and Otis did great with him! I am a full-time teacher but I am available for weekends and most school breaks. I have some weeknight availability, as well! I am also available for summer care. I have a large fenced in yard in a quiet cul-de-sac and plenty of room in my home to host your fur babies. I also have an extra crate (large size) and doggy play pen at your request.
“She was absolutely amazing! I’m so happy to have someone like her in the neighborhood. She sent me lots of photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Seeing how relaxed and happy my dog looked, I could tell she treated her like family. I would definitely love to ask her again next time!”
“Amanda was great with bear! We used her when we went on vacation for about a week. Bear is big and full of energy but Amanda did amazing with him! She sent pics and was in contact the entire time. We will be using her again!”
“We did a meet and greet initially. Mary kept us informed of Hunter and how he was doing as we started the process. She was excellent and Hunter seemed to enjoy himself once he was settled. Thank you Mary!”
“Bony is very kind and Bear seemed to enjoy his stay with her, her dog Winter and her kids! I had a last minute request and she was gracious to be able to take him on such short notice. She sent me a photo during his stay and kept me updated throughout the day. I will definitely be calling on her to dog sit again!”
“Absolutely ecstatic with the care my fur baby received from Kate. Impressive was her professionalism, compassion and communications during my pet’s stay. I will be requesting to leave my pet with her in the future.”
“Mou and Yanling were exceptional with my baby! I received several videos throughout his visit and he enjoyed his stay. They were excited to keep him for me. We will see them the next time I travel.”
“Sandra was so attentive to our boy marshall. She sent us pictures every day and gave him so much love and affection. We will definitely utilize her services on our future trips!”
“Lisa was phenomenal she did check ins with us and the dogs seemed very happy when she sent us daily pics of all the pups. She communicated very well and we will be using her again in the future.”
“I am in the hospital and my regular sitter needed to go away for the weekend. I booked and confirmed with her very easily. She was great with communication with both myself and the regular sitter who dropped my dog off and picked her up. She regularly updated me with photos of them on a walk and my dog looked very happy in them. Everything went great I would for sure use Angie again.”
“Joshua watched Stella for 4 nights. He took wonderful care of her. We had a great experience. He sent daily updates and gave us such peace of mind during my daughter’s wedding week. Reliable, communicative and trust worthy, I truly appreciate all his help and would highly recommend him.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“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!!”
“Sheri was fantastic! Lucy was treated like her own dog. She was spoiled and loved and Lucy got along really well with Sheri's dog. I know Lucy is going to miss being at Sheri's house. I'll definitely use her again would highly recommend her to anyone needing excellent care for your dog.”

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.
