“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Scout and Murphee had a blast at dog camp. They slept the whole day after we picked up. I can tell Kevin truly loves dogs and enjoys spend time and caring for them. We received many pictures during our vacation and it was nice knowing they were being well cared for. I would not hesitate sending the dogs there for another visit.”


“Jerrie is an amazing dog sitter. She is so loving to the pups and sends pics every day. She is very responsive and the pups have an big, beautiful area to play and run. Jerrie is the best sitter I have ever had and I would highly recommend her to everyone!! Our dogs LOVED her!!”

“David was great with my emotionally needy pup and clearly understood dog dynamics. Seeing Delta and another dog snuggle up together was not something I had expected to see pictures of, but she seemed to do well when left with a stranger for a week.”


“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”

“Barbara took such good care of my very senior girl, Rosey. She was patient as they got to know each other and as Rosey got used to new surroundings and routines. Not easy for an old pup. Highly recommend! Thank you!!”
“Annmarie took wonderful care of our dog. We received several photos, videos, and other updates during our dog's stay. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet our dog before our trip”


“Kat was amazing with our dog, Jax. Jax is a standard poodle and struggles with confidence issues. Usually, when meeting new people Jax is very stand-offish and nervously pees. Kat had such a great energy that Jax was not intimidated by her and he actually initiated contact with her during our meet in greet. This was our first time being away from Jax for an extended period of time (8 days to be exact). Kat sent us daily updates with pictures and videos of Jax! It made our vacation so much better to know he was having a mini vacation of his own with Kat! We are incredibly grateful to have found Kat! We will definitely use her again for our next vacation!”

“I’m new to the area and didn’t realize when booking just how far away they lived from us lol We will 100% be booking again though, even with the nearly hour drive It’s tough leaving your dog while you’re out of town but they made it so much easier, sending videos and photos of her having a great time. It was clear she was genuinely being cared for, not just somewhere with someone doing the minimum. Can’t recommend them enough”

“Sarah was a Rockstar with my puppy Beau. She went above and beyond to try different training techniques to prevent him from pulling and getting distracted during walks. She sent me detailed instructions on things that worked and didn't. I would highly recommend her fur baby care to anyone.”

About: I am new to Rover, but have worked in the Animal Health Industry as a Veterinarian Technician (animal nurse) and outside sales/customer service for the past 30+ years. Along with the background check Rover provides, I also have a Business License and I am Insured/Bonded. Animal care is my only business/job. I have experience with most animals from reptiles to cattle and currently have a little 5 acre hobby farm with a horse, goats, chickens, dog and cat. I am very flexible with days you need pet care. My days are filled with animal care of my own/yours, walking/hiking, gardening and home/property projects. Your pets will be treated with great care while spending time with me. I have a gated 5 acre hobby farm with 1/2 acre fully fenced area around my home. My farm animals are fenced in separately for safety. I also have 3 acres of wooded trails/not fenced for leash walking. I am able to provide care and exercise depending on your pets needs. I will only accept dogs that are not aggressive towards people or other dogs for a positive/fun experience. I have giant wire crates/bedding for night sleeping/feeding and can take up to 3 dogs. I would prefer same family, but may be some overlap with scheduling. Otherwise they will be spending time with me in my home and on my property. There are two large porches for either sunning or shade. I also have air conditioning. Please be up to date on vaccinations (including kennel cough), worming and monthly flea control. I live in a quiet/peaceful valley. Please no excessive barkers and bring their food, treats and special toys. If you have an older/well trained dog that would be happy sleeping in a dog bed at night, I can be accommodating. Especially, if I have no other dogs boarding here. Must have been crate trained at some point in there life. Waking up in the am to an intact couch is nice! 😊

“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“Alexis took amazing care of my dog! The day-to-day at her property is extremely enriching, and she kept my herding breed dog feeling fulfilled. She sends multiple photos and updates throughout the day, and in each of them, my dog looks so happy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and understands the precautions needed for my dog, who is not dog-friendly and only takes one booking at a time, which I find extremely responsible and gives me peace of mind. She bathed my dog before we picked her up, and I had such great peace of mind knowing not only that my dog was well cared for, but she was having a vacation of her own. I have very high pet care standards, and Alexis went above and beyond.”

“Jennifer is an amazing person who is understanding and communication is very good. She is always keeping me updated about my dog. She shows how passionate she is on what she does and I know for sure my dog is happy when she is in her home. I totally will continue to take my furry best friend to her as long as she allows it when out of town :)”

“Our Rottweiler Raider had a great time with Tanya, family, and her dogs. This was our first time boarding our puppy. Our worries were little as Tanya sent us updates and pictures letting us know how Raider was doing. We will definitely will continue to have Tanya take care of our fur baby when we are out of town.”

“Desiree and her little helper were wonderful. Xena was able to play with Desiree's precious little helper which allowed Xena to interact with children. We felt comfortable that Xena were in good hands with the pictures and video that we received. Thank you Desiree and little helper!!!”

“Keep was our first ever Rover sitter and we couldn't be more impressed! I just picked them up and both dogs are so relaxed and mellow. It's like they had their own vacation while we were away on ours! Keep was very reassuring about caring for my elderly pair, answering all of my questions and putting my concerns at ease. She sent us photos and updates on the dogs at regular intervals so we could see for ourselves how they were doing. Mostly, I am so grateful for how both dogs came home without any stress or frantic energy about returning home. We will definitely book another stay with Keep in the future. Thank you so much! Keri”

“Our dog had so much fun with Pamela. I will use her services again. Excellent care and no worries. She heard my concerns as we have a young dog and didn't know how he would interact while eating. Her report showed me she heard us and in the end, our dog had no aggressiveness toward other dogs when his food was presented. Excellent.”

“Our two pups just completed their first stay with Deidre and we couldn’t be happier on the care they received and the communication she had with us. We hope that she will have the availability to care from them in the near future but anticipate that she will grow in popularity due to her 1st class service!”

“John was fabulous and took lovely care of our dog. Pictures and updates were appreciated. He let us know how she was becoming comfortable at his home and she loved the daily walks.”

Toni was a fantastic sitter to our dog Sadie! She is so warm and welcoming and I instantly felt at ease dropping off our dog for the first time at her house! She sent pictures and was very communicative. We look forward to the next time we’re in the area and booking again! Thanks Toni!
