“Theresa is simply amazing. She came through for my fur baby at the last minute when we needed to leave town. She was kind, patient and answered all of my questions to help soothe any anxieties with leaving my fur baby in someone else’s care. She was on time for pickup and drop off. She sent pictures and responded to text and phone calls promptly. You can’t go wrong with Theresa!!”
“Sumer went above and beyond! She was there for me in a time of crisis and I will never forget that. She helped me out and was very flexible when it was really needed. Also, my dogs love her! I can't believe how fast my shy guy came out of his shell for her! Yay Sumer! Thank you so much!”
“I am very pleased with Tanya's care and attention. She provides a CLEAN place and a space where your pet would be comfortable. She's communicative and her price point is very justifiable as she provides top care. She's by far the best! Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on many animals. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!
“Carissa was absolutely the best! Taking care of 2 large breed puppies isn't easy, but she was so great with them! She really knows dogs, and obviously realized what they were capable of as far as mischief and issues with cats and other dogs but handled them perfectly with no problems. My dogs were comfortable with her, and well taken care of with her house. Not to even mention the beautiful yard! She was beyond generous with updates and pictures. She really went out of her way to reassure me that they were alright. (I was nervous!) I am so excited to have a trusted sitter, and Carissa will definitely be seeing more of my pups in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. My own pup, Wilfred, is deeply loved and spoiled—just the way every dog should be! I regularly dog sit throughout the year and truly love animals with all my heart. I'm kind, patient, and gentle with every pet I meet. I also pride myself on keeping a clean, safe environment and staying active to ensure your dog gets the play, exercise, and attention they deserve. With me, your furry family member will be treated like my own—loved, entertained, and well cared for. While I now work during the day, I’m still fully committed to providing attentive and loving care for your pet. I’m available for midday check-ins during lunch and am free after 4:30 PM to spend the entire evening giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. Your pet’s well-being remains a top priority in my home. I provide a calm, loving environment and tailor care to each pet’s routine and needs—whether they stay in my home or I visit theirs. I’m available for midday check-ins and spend evenings giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Your pet will be treated like family every step of the way.
“Hanna did great with my dog! He had such a blast with her boxer, he came home completely exhausted! Would definitely recommend and would take my baby to her again in the future!”
“Mary was the perfect choice for our dog Max and I am so glad I found her! She had a large yard for him to roam around in and she gave him so much love and attention. She also provided us with daily updates which the kids loved! I felt comfortable leaving him with her and was confident he was well taken care of and being spoiled. I will definitely use her the next time we need someone to care for Max!”
“Jacqueline and her family took excellent care of our pups. They were patient with our pups despite the challenges they presented. We received regular updates that included videos and text. I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!”
“Meranda was great to work with. She was very flexible with pickup/drop off times when my flights were delayed. She sent great pictures/and updates throughout Gracie’s stay, and I felt very confident that my pup was well taken care of. I highly recommend her!”
“Cujo had a WONDERFUL time with Chris, Dan and their dog, Thor! (He even learned some German while there! :-) ) Chris sent us a few photos and video to make us feel relaxed that they were all having a great time. We highly recommend Chris and Dan, they offer a great loving, fun environment (and fenced yard!). Will call them 1st next time we ever need Rover services. SOOOOO much better than going to a kennel!”
“Jennifer was great! It helped us relax on our trip knowing our dog was with someone who was treating her like their own dog. Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!”
“Mary did and excellent job of taking care of my dog Clyde. She exceeded my expectations. You can see her love for animals and the joy it brings her. She welcomed my dog into her home like he was her own. I can't thank her enough for taking such good care of Clyde. Mary now is my go to dog sitter. Thank you again!”
“Chloe enjoyed her stay with Angela. It was nice having her stay in a home versus a kennel. Angela did a great job of sending us updates and photos for the 2 days she had her. I would book with Angela again in the future.”
“Clover had an awesome time with Sarah and her pups. This was our first time using Rover and Sarah made us super comfortable with the process. She was very fast with responses, and sent updates and photos while we were away. Her dogs were very friendly with us and made quick friends with Clover. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”
“Brandi was wonderful from drop off to pick up. Lots of updates on our pup while we were gone on a week vacation. He is still a puppy and lots of energy so we were glad he could be with someone in their home while we were away. Definitely would recommend.”
About: Currently the school year has started so my availability during the week is limited. If you need weekend care, we would love to help you with that! Justin and I have always had soft spots for dogs. We've both grown up with dogs ans ever since we have been together we have dreamed of owning our own dogs. Justin and I both work full-time, but we are able to care for your dogs just like we do our own. I am a teacher and have summers off, winter break, and spring break. School starts back August 14th. We have a fenced in yard with a large backyard for roaming and playing. Our two pups will help keep yours having fun. Both of our dogs love other dogs of all kinds. We walk our dogs daily through our neighborhood and sit outside with them for a few hours every night when we get home from work, weather permitting. When we are gone at work or for errands we let our dogs free roam the house.
“Ewa was amazing with my puppies. She took care of both of my Pomeranians. She’s a very nice lady who seemed to really enjoy dogs overall. Not once was I anxious about my puppies while I was away because I know how well she was going to take care of them. Thank Ewa!”
