“We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our dog. Azure gave our pup a wonderful home away from home and we will definitely trust her to take care of her again! We received pictures and updates every day and knew that Saffy was in good hands.”


“Karisa was AMAZING! Not only did she send me pics of Dez while she sat him, but she also gave updates! Her daughter made doggy treats for Dez, she took Dez on walks and gave us a thank you card! Karisa and family were the kindest people and we will DEFINITELY book her again! Thank you for being awesome, Karisa!”


“Natalie was great! She sent lots of updates and photos that made me feel like I was still there with Hero. She was extremely good with communication and ensuring all of Hero’s needs were met. I will definitely be using her again in the future!!”


“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”


“Alexis sent pics and videos and was wonderful getting my little dog to take his meds and eat his food. It was apparent that both of my dogs were happy and well taken care of. I goofed up the reservation and Alexis explained to me patiently and kept the dogs until I got back from my trip the day later to pick them up. Alexis watched my dogs when they were outside even though her yard is fenced. She was great with both of my dogs!”


“Jada was Great, she even arranged a brief meet and greet before so that everybody could meet each other and make sure our dogs were comfortable. She provided great communication and kept us up to date om how our dogs were doing.”


“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”

“This was our first time taking our dogs to a sitter and Stephanie has set the bar high! She and her husband Chris made us feel comfortable immediately leaving Marley and Mack with them- especially over the holidays. Stephanie sent pictures and updates daily that we greatly appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again!”


“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”


“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”

“Millie and her kids did a fantastic job taking care of our baby boy while we went on vacation! We were so excited to receive updates and photos throughout the days we were gone! The communication was great, and we can tell our boy got the love and attention he deserves! Would definitely recommend Millie! I felt very confident leaving our boy in her hands!”


“Laura and her family were very welcoming to Lily and was very flexible to work with my schedule. She treated Lily like family and gave her lots of treats and love. Will be booking with her again!”


“Dogs were worn out after playing with Emily’s very friendly dogs. Had no issues, will definitely trust Emily and her husband to watch over our dogs again!”


“They were awesome with Finn. He only stayed for a short visit because of a change of plans but I still got plenty of great photos of him playing in the yard and being a good boy which was great”


“Omg Anne was simply amazing and super easy to work with. She was able to accommodate me while my plans changed and allowed me to be able to put my mind at ease knowing my fur baby was being well taken care of. I will be using her on an ongoing basis and I strongly recommend her to care for your pets any day of the week. I appreciate this app so much!!”


“Kim was super sweet and very accomodating. They are very knowledgeable with dogs. Took good care of our german shepherd who is very cuddly and energetic. Will defenitely book again!”


About: We are new to Rover, and ready to meet your furry family member! I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and we work together to care for your dog during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

About: I love animals and always grew up around them! I have a dog of my own. I believe pets are a part of family and deserve to be loved and cared as such! I would be so happy to help care for your pets while you’re away! My husband and I work full time but we give our dog plenty of outside time and walks when we are home! On the weekends we make sure to be with our dog as much as possible! We take great care of the dogs we get by giving them a safe environment and making sure their needs are met! We always want them to feel at home!

She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well-exercised, fed, and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, Diggs was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—she’s truly the best!”
