“Can’t say enough great things about how well Briana and Isaiah care for my pup! We love them and fully trust them to care for her when we are away! I never stress if my dog is okay and she’s always happy to see them and happy and healthy when we get her back! You’ll have no regrets leaving your fur babies with them!”

She really helps us out on short notices.She is caring with our big boy Deuce and sends us multiple photos & videos.Paris is incredibly nice and accommodating, and communicated with us frequently.

“Jenn & Bob were awesome! First time we used Rover and it was a great experience. I can't say more about how they took care of our dogs while away. We even received report cards on each dog along with daily pictures and updates. We will for sure be using them again!”
“Richard was awesome for my baby Cosmo! He was very attentive when we first arrived and asked a lot of questions and took notes regarding Cosmo. He stayed in contact with me and sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 20 years and have experience with furry, feathery, and scaly creatures of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with puppies and kittens all the way up to senior pets, with and without special needs. I have experience with blind and deaf animals and can administer pet medications. We have a half acre that is fenced in and perfect for your pets to play. I’m a teacher, so during the summers, fall and spring break, and weekends I am home full time. During the school year, I am usually home by 3 p.m. Pets may use crates (collars off) or free-roam in the house depending upon what they are used to at home. I like to keep our rules consistent with what pets are used to at home. I allow our pets on furniture and beds.
“Camille and her wife are wonderful wonderful people! They took such good care of our little Tommy! He was clearly spoiled just like at home. She did an amazing job of sending us regular updates and pictures. I am 100% sure I have found the very best doggie sitter on here! Thank you again for taking such great care of him in your home for 10 days. We enjoyed our vacation without having to worry about our puppers! Highly highly recommended!”
“Emma was great! She kept me updated on our dog Maggie throughout our vacation. We really appreciate the care and attention that she gave to our dog! We highly recommend her services!”
“When I picked up my furkids, they went straight to sleep. I guess that is a good indication that they had way too much fun at Tarina’s doggie playhouse. Will definitely be coming back. Tarina agreed to have a meet and greet prior reservation. Thank you, Tarina and Tony.”
“Erin is the best, I was hesitant to book outside of a pet hotel, and Erin accommodated Cooper as if he was her own, she was extremely flexible when my flight was delayed a day, and even brought my buddy to me, so I wouldn't have to get a pet friendly Uber at 1am.... She will forever be Coopers sitter, if you don't know, now you know, if you want the Best , book with Erin, Thanks again Erin!!!”
“First time using the service and I would use Shayla over and over again. Phenomenal with communication, update, shared picture and videos while I was on vacation to put me at ease.”
“Finn had another wonderful stay with Melanie! We loved the picture & video updates and felt at ease while we were away. My dog seems very comfortable at her house and loves playing with her pup!”
“Pat & Bee are absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond any of our expectations. They send frequent updates with photos and videos. They are kind and loving and extremely prepared. We absolutely loved our experience with them and will us them for ANY future boarding needs. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of Ellie!!”
“Amanda is a wonderful sitter! We used her services for a long weekend trip. The pups did great in her care and we received a bunch of updates/pictures. Could not recommend her more! Thanks!”
“This was our first experience using Rover, & we couldn’t have been more pleased! They were both so caring & loving to Rocket. They updated regularly on how he was doing & sent plenty of pictures of him throughout the day. Their dog played wonderfully with our very active pup! Lucy was the sweetest companion for Rocket. We are using this family next week for a long trip & I feel so relieved he will be in good hands! Will be using them regularly in the future as well :)”
“Wonderful family that took great care of our 80lbs Shepherd, Archie. They treated him like a part of their family which is the best you can hope for when you have to leave your dog behind. Looking forward to having them sit in the future!”
