“Angela has been a wonderful caring sitter for Zeus. She sends pictures and has worked with us when our travel plans needed adjustment. Zeus is well cared for while staying with her.”


2. Rebecca M.

“Rebecca took great, loving care of my wiener dog. She sent lots of cute pictures and wonderful written updates. I truly think she was genuinely sad when he had to come back home. She will 1000% love your doggy as if they were her own.”




3. Stella G.


“I was so lucky to find Stella! Boarding the girls in a loving home was exactly what I wanted. Having a fenced yard was a great vacation for them. The updates and photos were great. Highly recommend!”


4. Madeline S.

“My pitbull is high energy and loves running. Madeline and her family not only walked her but ran with her Bit also Let her socialize with their family dog and the children. When I picked my dog up, seems Like she preferred Madeline over me! If I could give 100 stars I would!”


5. Kim K.

“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”


6. Tommy & Julie F.

“My experience with Tommy & Julie was excellent. We contacted them last minute and they were kind enough to take our Dozer in for several days on very short notice. They're very nice people who know how to take care of multiple animals and were great about keeping in touch and updating us with pictures, and were great about responding very quickly whenever I had a question. They even have live cameras in the backyard for us to watch our dog play. We were happy to see Dozer enjoying his time with the other dogs. This was my first time using the Rover app and to be honest, I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I hadn't met, but Tommy & Julie quickly set my mind at ease. It's very clear they love animals and focus their time and attention on them. I would absolutely leave Dozer with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet, whether it's just the evening, or for a few days.”


7. John & Louis F.

“Ahna loves her vacations with John & Louis! She doesn't even want to get back in our car! The long walks are great for her. She needs a day of napping to recover from them and so much attention. Our dog is in great hands when we are away.”


8. Debbie K.


“This was my first rover experience and it couldn’t have gone smoother . Debbie and Tom are super nice and were communicative throughout the whole process! Nyla was very well taken care of and clearly had a lot of fun during her stay :)”


9. Megan W.

“Megan was wonderful with Maverick. He had a great time playing with the other dogs. She sent pics and videos to keep me updated. I would highly recommend her.”

“Elisa seems to be a devoted person who takes care of dogs with love. Thank you so much for taking care of the dog carefully so that he doesn't feel any separation anxiety for 2 nights and 3 days away from our family. Thanks again!!”

“Norma was awesome. She sent me pictures and video. You can tell she really loves the animals. My dog was very happy and had fun playing with her dogs.”


12. Rebecca D.

“Rebecca was great watching my dog Roxy. It seems like she had so much fun playing in the yard with their dog Tullie. She slept for hours once she got back home. Would definitely use/recommend Rebecca and her husband.”


13. Chisato A.

“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”




14. Jennifer E.


“Buddy and Chevy loved their time with Jennifer and her family! It was great getting to see all of the pictures that Jennifer posted throughout their stay and I could tell that my dogs were loving getting to play with the kids! I feel confident that my dogs are being well taken care of and will definitely be using Jennifer again the next time I need to go out of town.”


15. Bob and Francine A.


“So great. Moose had a great time. They sent pictures and were very flexible when a family issue came up. Will definitely use them again when we need them.”


16. Melody C.

“Melody was so awesome! Very responsive and sent tons of pictures and videos of our pup while we were gone. We did a meet up with her prior to our trip so she could meet our dog and get acquainted/ask questions etc. During his stay, they went on lots of walks and had so much play time. Melody goes out of her way to make your pup her number one priority. She had extra toys and even got him treats! She even gave some advice for some of his skin/stomach issues she noticed. Will definitely be bringing our pup back to her!”


17. Tessa S.

“It was our first time boarding Gus overnight with Tessa. We had a worry-free trip knowing Gus was well taken care of by Tessa. I got pictures everyday and he looked happy and content. Tessa kept me updated on his meal intake and meds ( since we had told her that recently his food intake had been a bit erratic.) We feel very comfortable leaving Gus with her.”


18. Mary & Norman B.

“Mary and Norm welcomed Bambi in as part of the family and I could tell from the photos it took her no time at all to adjust to her new surroundings. She can't wait to stay with them again.”


19. Christy W.

“We only needed to book one night with Christy, but she still sent an update with a pic...and took our Temo for a little car ride! We appreciated her flexibility with drop-off/pick-up. We would recommend her, and would utilize her services again.”

About: I've been raised with and cared for many different types of animals. Being raised by a avid pet lover gave me the experience I needed in my adult life. Cats Dogs Birds Chickens Saltwater and Freshwater Fish I have 2 cats and a Shiba Inu dog that I care for myself. My family pets. So it's already a daily routine for me! The same way you would! I can be trusted to take them for walks, drop in care. I'd be happy to go over details with you.
