“Ryan is great! He has watched Niko, our GS mix a few times now. This last time we were gone for over a week, when we picked up Niko he was freshly bathed and tuckered out from his 3mile walk. We hope to use Ryan again!!!”
“Anna was AMAZING! So thankful we were able to leave our dog with her. He always gets sick to stomach after/when we are gone. He had no problems!! With this I am certain she kept him calm and stress free! It was such a joy to have someone who understood his behavior and used effective ways to help him stay calm!”
“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”
“Sierra was scheduled to sit our two pups while we were out of town for 5 days. Unfortunately, our eldest Dozer, had a mast cell tumor that needed to be removed immediately a few days before our departure. Sierra was extra careful with him and even took him into the vet when his incision became infected. She sent pictures a few times a day and was extremely responsive. She is byfar the best sitter we've found on Rover and would highly recommend her to watch your pups. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 I took care of him like he was a human being. I love taking care of dogs 🐩 I am currently a full time college student and I am looking for a part time job to help fulfill my schedule and why not spend it doing something i really would enjoy doing I have a nice fielded area where the dog can go for walks and play and use the bathroom in my home I would offer that the dogs are potty trained and comes with the dog food and treats to help me take care of your fury cute companion
“Amazing dog sitter! I boarded my dog with her for a day and a night and she was great. Aubrey kept me updated on my pup and she seemed to take very well to her. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Lisa was wonderful! This was our first time having to leave our baby with someone that he doesn’t know and it was great. If you want someone who will continually send pictures, videos and updates, Lisa is the one. I will definitely be booking with her again, no doubt about it!”
“Casey was such a great sitter! I felt comfortable the whole weekend because she sent pictures and videos the entire time I was gone. She was professional and communicated well.”
“Chibie seemed very happy and having fun when I picked him up. He was following Ms. Rebecca around the house, which is a sign that he likes her. All good signs that he was well cared for. I hope she will watch Chibie in the future.”
“Carly was wonderful. So sweet. I never worried once the whole time we were gone. She sent lots of pictures and updates which my kids loved. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Dogs had a great time, we loved getting pictures of them while we were away and had peace of mind with their fenced in yard. Grateful they took such good care of our dogs!”
“Ezgi was absolutely amazing. She took care of Cajeta for 8 days on very short notice and treated her like she was her own dog. We received 50+ photos and constant updates, which made it incredibly easy to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Cajeta was happy, loved, and well cared for. Cajeta clearly felt comfortable and at home with her. I will absolutely be making Ezgi my first choice any time we need boarding again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.
“Was a last minute weekend stay for my dog and quickly felt comfortable with him staying there. She shared photos of dogs playing together and was quite responsive if ever messaged.”
“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
“Jeanie was amazing! She took such great care of Cuddles. We were kept up to date on how she was doing, and providing photos. Jeanie was so sweet and accommodating. Will 100% use again!!”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“We needed someone last minute, as our original puppy sitter got into a car accident. This was our first time leaving Max with anyone, so we did not know what to expect, and Max was nervous. Arlissa made Max feel at home and exceeded our every expectation. She was very prompt with her messaging, and sent us updates and pictures throughout his stay there. It was so nice to see how happy he was and the fun time he was having, not to mention being well cared for. We will be contacting Arlissa next time we go out of town and need a sitter for Max. Our experience was nothing short of amazing.”

Amber gave regular updates with pictures. She took Val on walks and kept her safe and by her side while she worked in her garden. I liked that she had no other pets which gave Val 1 on 1 attention. I had no worries about her cate while we were gone. I would book with Amber again. She knew Val likes to counter surf and took precautions to keep her safe.
Katherine was amazing. She really listened to my instructions and was very easy to communicate. I can tell she really cares about what she does. I also can tell by my energies dog when I pick him up that he had a lot of fun. Maybe more fun than when he is with me😀
Karen was amazing. She accommodated our last minute request and made us feel so comfortable. She sent multiple photos and videos with updates every day. She implemented safety measures for the dogs which we really appreciated. The dogs had a blast playing in the pools! We will definitely be back.
Arlissa came highly recommended by a friend, and we are so thankful to have found her! We needed a more home like environment for our aging dog who began to struggle at the boarding facility. Both he and our younger dog seemed to have had a great time with her. We received daily (sometimes multiple times a day) updates, adorable photos, and questions/concerns about health/skin- which we appreciated her attention to detail. The pups came back relaxed, clean, and not as spun up and anxious as in previous stays at boarding facilities. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and recommending her to friends.
They took great care of our pup. The communications were fantastic. We got daily updates. Due to a major flight delay we would have been very late picking our dog up. Mahamat was very helpful both offering to figure a way to extend the booking or getting our dog ready early so our son could pick him up and take him to our house. I would 100% use them again and recommend them.
Macy was an amazing babysitter! She was able to take her last-minute request and make sure that our puppy was in good hands. She sent us photos and videos throughout when she was babysitting to let us know our puppy was doing good and would definitely recommend her!
