“Jessica really went above and beyond! We have two old dogs, one of whom is blind, so they are special in a few ways. She sent several updates each day, with lots of pictures, so we were reassured that they were in very caring hands with her and her family - including a very gentle little one. Our boys were so happy and relaxed when we brought them home. Honestly they didn't seem super thrilled to be leaving when we picked them up - we know they must have had a wonderful vacation of their own at Jessica's!”
“Being a first time user of Rover this experience couldn’t have gone any better! After meeting Robin I was at ease. She sent pictures/videos. I’d definitely use Robin again!!”
“My family and I were in town for a couple of days and we needed a last minute dog sitter. Cait had some good reviews and so we decided to move forward and have her dog sit. She was awesome! Our dog had a great time and Cait said she enjoyed playing with her dogs. If we’re in town again, we would definitely reach out!!”
“Shuling was a fantastic and attentive sitter to our dog while we were out of town. We got regular updates about his care with photos and videos, and she made sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful while watching my Gigi. She provided me with daily updates and made the whole dog-sitting process so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!”
About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.
“Lindsay was great!!! She was punctual, pleasant, and took great care of my two dogs! They played, enjoyed her kids, loved playing with her dog in the huge fenced yard… I couldn’t have chosen more wisely! Thank you Lindsay!”
“Leticia was wonderful with my Frenchie, Arya. She sent many updates with pictures and it was obvious that Arya was happy and well taken care of. I truly felt that Leticia treated Arya as one of her own and I will be using her services again!”
“Vy was great! She sent photos and videos of sailor everyday and we didn’t question for a minute if he was having fun! Also, special thanks for Forrest for being the sweetest companion this past week!”
“First time using a sitter for my two dogs who are now seniors. Andy was responsive and met with us first in person so we felt comfortable. During out trip, he kept us up to date with what was happening and sent lots of pictures. We will use Andy in the future!”
“Lindsey was great! She took wonderful care of our fur baby. Her kids gave our dog lots of attention and she had a great time. Lindsey gave regular updates and sent photos. It felt great knowing that Jovi was in good hands and I wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog with her again.”
“Kate was so great and accommodating ! She was a great communicator and so good with my dog. He felt so comfortable with her . I got lots of updates and pictures which I was happy to receive without having to ask. Def recommend using her and will continue using her in the future! Wish I could give her 6 stars!”
“I cannot recommend Maddie enough! She watched our dog, Jameson, for a little over a week during Thanksgiving and went above and beyond in every way. From the start, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated with frequent pictures, videos, and messages, which made it so much easier to be away from Jameson. One thing I especially appreciated was how she allowed Jameson to socialize with other dogs during his stay. He’s still relatively new to us, so we’re still learning each other, but it’s clear now he thrives on interaction, and she ensured he had safe and fun playtime with the other dogs. It was heartwarming to see how much fun he was having while we were gone. Here’s the most amazing part: After spending so much time with JameO and seeing how much joy he brought into her home, Maddie decided to get a puppy of her own for her family! It’s such a testament to her love for animals, and I couldn’t be happier for her. When we came back, Jameson was happy, healthy, and relaxed—it was like he had his own mini-vacation! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring dog sitter, Maddie is hands down the best choice. Thank you, Maddie, for treating Jameson like one of your own and for being so incredible!”
“We had a great experience with Faith! She was able to accommodate us on a few days’ notice, and was flexible when we had to change our pickup time. Charlie came home happy & healthy & sleepy. Will definitely book again!”
“Best sitter I could have ever asked for. I received pictures and updates on CJ the entire time. Stacey provided the care and attention my dog needed. Will always look to use her first anytime we may be away. Thank you Stacey!! ❤️?”
“My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.”
“Hannah was great, she sent us pictures and videos of our dog. We missed our dog while we were gone but we glad Hannah sent us pictures and videos, we felt that our dog was being well taken care of. . Definitely would leave my baby with her again.”
“Fulton truly enjoyed his stay there for the week. The pictures received showed how much fun he had in a new pack. I’ll definitely use Rachel and Ryan in the future.”
“Diana is fantastic with communication! Even though my dog is almost 9, it never gets easier leaving her somewhere! Diana sent me pictures throughout Heidi’s stay and kept me updated on everything! I would definitely recommend Diana as a sitter!”

Seth G.
“I have known Seth for nearly 6 years and in that time I have seen what an incredible pet caregiver he is. He adores and takes such good care of his own dog, Ziggy (the sweetest boxer in the world), as well as a flock of lovely chickens who also adore him to the point of wanting to come into his house! I’ve seen him interact with and take amazing care of other animals too, including cats and ducks. Seth has such a warm personality and you can tell he truly cares for and loves animals. I would absolutely trust him to care for my own pets. He’ll go above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for, not only covering the basics (feeding, watering, bathroom time, etc.), but also providing love, affection, and play. I highly recommend Seth to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
