“Sujanna was WONDERFUL! She took thoughtful care of our Toby and went above and beyond. Toby got lots of love and attention the entire time he was there. Toby will definitely be back. We highly recommend Sujanna!!!”
“Second time having my older dog stay with Kristie and family and first time for my new additions - can’t say enough good things about how well they care for my pups. They are so happy and comfortable with them when they stay. The text updates help me to not worry, since I know they are in good hands! Really appreciate the care and attention they give my pack!”
“Dana and her family were the perfect match for our Luna! Our pup had all of the family members attending to her, from TV snuggles to fresh air hikes around the lake nearby... and with constant communication and photos from Dana during her stay. We love that Luna has another family to love her like we do while we are away! We will most definitely be calling Dana for our next trip!”

“Laura and her family could not have been any better for our Duke. This was our first time (2 times both with Laura) looking for our dog to be care for in a persons home instead of a standard kennel. When I started my search on rover I concentrating my search for people who would know how to handle my dog breed - a boxer. Duke is a good boy, but he is every bit an energetic, strong, super friendly Boxer. Laura and her family have tons of first hand knowledge with boxers, so it was a perfect fit. They obviously know how to care for all dog breeds. Needless to say we were more than happy with Laura and her family watching our dog. Duke has so much fun with Laura. And the video updates to see him having fun were perfect.”
“Nicholas & Payal were absolutely wonderful with Murdock! They were attentive, caring, and made sure he was happy and well-exercised during our time away. They kept us updated during our time away. Murdock came home calm and content, which says it all. Highly recommend their services! Thank you so much!”
“Marisol and John were the best to take care of our pups! They are so sweet and caring. They have an amazing fenced backyard! Our pups ran their hearts out everyday! My dogs always try to leave in a hurry from a sitter, but this time they didn’t want to leave. Our pups love them; I think more than they love us.. lol .. Marisol and John are very attentive and have a very warm household. The entire family is awesome!”
“Meagan is a wonderful and caring host, and looking forward to having her watch Timmy again when we’re away. She provided daily updates, plenty of pictures, and I didn’t have an ounce of worry at all.”

About: I am an animal lover since childhood! We have screened in outdoor areas plus over 3 acres of yard. I have been a sitter of friends and family dogs for years, both at home and in their homes. I'm currently at home full time and have the opportunity to offer at home service to take care of other animals or I may end up adopting too many! I currently have 1 dog (7yrs) and 1 cat (12yrs) I have a large yard to walk your dog as well as a fenced in area where the dogs can play with my very friendly large dog, or I can crate them as well. Whatever makes them most comfortable.
“Jillian and her family did an amazing job watching our pup while we were away. She gave her medicine with no problems multiple times a day. I was nervous leaving Ruby for the first time and everything went great. Really appreciate all they did, and will definitely be reaching out again the next time we go away!”
“Jennifer was a great sitter and Dakotah took to her Right away. I didn't know that Jennifer has a baby and this was Dakotah '1st exposure with a baby and they also formed a nice connection. I would highly recommend Jennifer and will be booking with her in the future. The Rover service fee's are pricey. That's one huge drawback, but i had a positive experience with my sitter Have a great day and thank you again kindly Jennifer.”
“This was the second time leaving Carmine with Ben and Irene. They sent regular updates with pictures and videos of Carmine’s stay. I know he always has a good time when he is there. I will book with them again in the future!”
