“We were very happy with Mike and Amy, they took great care of our girl Luna. Luna got along well with their dog Bear, and had a great time with him. Luna felt right at home there. Mike sent plenty of updates with pictures which was nice.”


“Amazing sitter. Was nervous at first because my dogs are kind of not well behaved and I never had to use an outside sitter before. Megan was amazing and confident with handling my dogs. Throughout my trip I received plenty of updates I just couldn't be more happier.”



“This lady and her husband are the best kept secret of Rover! My dog has typically refused to eat for the first day or two of boarding, but with Sue, she ate the first night, her tail was high and wagging! She was a happy little camper. I would recommend Sue, without any reservations. She truly cares for her boarded dogs- they do know who loves them. She will always be our first choice!!”


“Kara was amazing with my two fur babies, while I was out of town. I didn’t have to worry leaving them and she checked in frequently and also sent me pictures. I highly recommend her and am very grateful and pleased. Thanks again”


“Cansu watched our puppy Winston for a week while we were out of town and made him feel right at home! It was our first time leaving him and she made me feel very comfortable sending us videos and pictures daily! He got along well with their dogs and loves running around in their huge fenced in yard! Thank you again Cansu!”



“I was so happy to find Lori to care for my newfie, Bella, for a few days. I knew it was the right place for her after the meet & greet when Bella was on Lori's deck laying down within 10-15 minutes! Lori sent pics & updates every day. I highly recommend Lori, & without any doubt I'll have Bella stay there again on my next trip out of town.”


“Jennifer was great! Everything went smoothly with our interactions, meet and greet, drop-off, and pick-up. Our dog came home happy and tired out! He's looking forward to his next visit with Jennifer. Highly recommend having her care for your dog!”


About: My name is Heidi and I have loved working with animals my entire life! I went to school for veterinary science but, unfortunately, I dont have the stomach for it. I grew up with rotties, a Shepard and I currently have a Yorkshire terrier so I'm comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes. I also have always had cats so I'm more than comfortable with them as well. Building up trust and relationship with the animals I work with is one of the best feelings in the world. I do work Monday through Friday but have flexible hours and can always make time to stop in at least 3 times a day. I'm more than willing to come to a meet up before the sit date to make sure all connections are good! I do work Monday through Friday until 4pm, but I work from home and can work anywhere with internet access if you're comfortable with me working during a stay! Please tell me any guidless, rules or typical schedules for your pet so I can keep things as comfortable as possible for them. Routines are respected as much as possible.

“We had a great experience with Camryn watching our dog. This was our first time using Rover, and I'm glad we picked Camryn. She did such a great job and it was great seeing pictures of our happy dog while we were away! Highly recommend her and would happily use her again!”



“Melissa took such great care of our Pax! She was very responsive and sent pics of him to keep us updated, and he looked like he had so much fun playing outside with the other dogs. He seemed very relaxed and happy when we picked him up, so I know he had a great stay and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Melissa!”


“This was my first time using the app. Candace made my 6 month old Bassett hound feel so welcome. She sent me photos of my baby and updates. He came home exhausted and well taken care of. ♥️?”
