“I could not have asked for better sitters for our 10-month old puppy! Amy and her family went above and beyond to care for Jojo and ensure she had a great time while we were out of the country on a 10-day vacation. I can't thank them enough for giving us a worry-free vacation, with daily pictures and videos and hilarious updates. Not to mention Finley was the best boy and companion for Jojo! Amy cared about every detail prior to our departure to ensure Jojo was safe and well taken care of. We are so lucky to have found Amy and family (and Finley) and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”

“I was very lucky when I found Ilona S to care for my small pup, Lula. The original plan was that Lula would be able to join me at the VRBO my Family had rented so it was quite a surprise to find out that the property owners would not welcome any animals. So, the hunt began to find a space where she would be safe and welcomed. After speaking with Ilona S, I felt comfortable enough to book Luna's stay. And as soon as we arrived at her home, I knew we had made the best possible choice. Such a warm, friendly person. I met her Family and was impressed at how charming the house was decorated for the Fall season. Clean, tidy and festive! I received daily photos, video clips and texts about Lula's activity. All communications were clear. I would absolutely recommend Ilona S. for your board & care needs and will book her again should I require care for Lula. 5 Star Rating.”

“Britnie and her fiancé boarded our two dogs two times in a month for a week each time. After the first stay, there was no question Dixie and Yoshi would be staying with them again. Britnie sent an update with tons of pictures every day and I know our pups got the love and attention they needed. I didn’t feel I had to worry at all about them while enjoying vacation. I would highly recommend Britnie’s services and will definitely plan on using her again in the future.”

“When I say my FurBaby was well cared for- he was!! They took exceptional care of Hendrixx. They sent numerous videos everyday- which I loved and appreciated. I highly recommend Mou and Yanling. I definitely will be using them for all of my boarding and sitting needs for Hendrixx.”

“Monica is the best! It’s so great to be able to leave our fur baby with her and know that she’ll be taken care of as if she was at home! Mazie just loves to go to her house and snuggle the day away!”

“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”

“Sogol was wonderful and attentive to my dog Chance. I appreciated the frequent updates that she provided. I could tell that Chance was well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Sogol again and I would highly recommend her! 😊”

“Kristen was great! She was able to be extremely flexible with our travel plans and allow for an early drop off and late pick up which made it very easy for us. Her timely and relaxed communication made us more comfortable with leaving Maui in her care for the week while we traveled out of the country. She gave us just the right amount of updates and pictures to let us know Maui was having a great time in her care! She was able to accommodate all of his needs and we couldn’t recommend her services enough! When we picked up Maui we could tell he had a great time and made a new friend! Thanks again Kristen!”

“Samantha and Zachary are fantastic sitters! My dog Stella had a great time and made two new friends in Krypto and Bailey. Provided daily photos and videos of Stella during her stay and they were always quick to respond to all my messages. Would highly recommend!”

“We have used Steven several times for our pet boarding and he is excellent with my Spinks. Spinks is always happy and exhausted from all the exercise he gets at Steven’s. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting/boarding needs.”

“Holly had a wonderful experience spending the week with Vinata and her family. We loved getting our daily pictures and updates and it made it easier being away from our puppy. I would absolutely use her again! Thank you!”


“Heidi did an amazing job watching my young and crazy dog! My dog is very high energy, she is jumpy and playful and can be very needy. Heidi did a perfect job! Documented the entire stay and communicated throughout! We will be using her services again.”
“They were great!! They were flexible about drop off and pickup, sent great updates and pictures, and are just really nice people. Their dog was also a fun bundle of energy who just wants to play!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I grew up with German Shepherds and Dachshunds, and later had both a French Bulldog and an English Bulldog of my own—so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to more laid-back companions. I’m currently an elementary school teacher, which means I have a reliable schedule along with extended holiday breaks and time off throughout the year—perfect for giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. Right now, I don’t have any pets of my own, and I truly miss having animals in my life. Pet sitting allows me to do something I love while helping others feel confident their pets are in caring, capable hands. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, company during the day, or overnight care, I’m happy to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! My schedule varies slightly depending on the time of year due to my work as an elementary school teacher: 📅 During the School Year (Now – June): • Available for drop-ins and walks before work (early mornings) and after 4 PM on weekdays • Available for evening visits and overnight care • Full availability on weekends ☀️ Summer Break (June – August): • Open and flexible schedule with full availability throughout the day • Ideal for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-ins at any time 🍂 Holidays & School Breaks: • Extended availability during school holidays and breaks I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care around my schedule, and I’ll communicate clearly so you know exactly when your pet will be visited or walked. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I live in a first-floor apartment with a sliding back door that gives easy access to a small yard, so pets can enjoy fresh air and playtime whenever they need. Pets are welcome on my furniture, and I make sure they feel right at home while respecting their comfort and routines. I follow each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise preferences. Whether in my home or at a client’s home, I give pets plenty of attention, play, and affection while keeping a close eye on their safety. I also provide updates with photos and messages, so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy, safe, and loved.
About: I have had a passion to take care of animals since I was in elementary school. My dream job is to become a professional pet groomer and pet care provider. Helping animals is my passion and always will be. I have always had family pets such as cats and dogs that I would take care of. Over 8 years of providing pet services, I have built special bonds with pets and their owners. I am very caring, empathetic, understanding, and patient. Anything you and your pet need, I will be sure to provide as much as I can and your pets will be happy and safe in my care. I have part time availability to provide pet sitting, daily check ins, and walk your dogs. I have another job where I bathe dogs for a few hours during the day. I will stay as long as you need me to be to make sure your pets never feel alone while you are away. I will make sure they are fed, watered, and get plenty of exercise. You won't have to worry about coming back to a messy home because I will clean up any mess that is made.
“I’m not from here so I was very nervous when it came to Rover. I am so glad I decided to use Judith and her family. The communication was phenomenal. I truly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos. Preacher had such an amazing time and I’ll only use her family from now on on Rover”

“Lindsay was amazing, her home was very professional, doggy friendly and clean. She was the sweetest and very educated on animals. We felt very safe leaving our pupper in Lindsay's care. P.s. i would re-book just so I can play with Sasha again ?”

Shelby pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura took such great care of our dog, Telly, while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates with photos and Telly always looked comfortable and happy like she was on her own vacation. Laura carefully read our instructions for care and feeding at drop-off and made sure she understood Telly’s needs before we left. She even cooked Telly more chicken to top her dog food with once the chicken we provided ran out. You can tell Laura truly loves dogs and I had no worries about leaving our pup with her for the week. I would definitely hire Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter!

Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Kaitlin was so great with Ollie. She sent me plenty of great pictures during his stay and many of them looked as though Ollie had a huge smile on his face. When my business trip was extended she was not able to watch him during that extended time but helped me out a great deal by packing his items and bringing him to another place to stay. I will surely have her watch Ollie again when needed. Thank you again Kaitlin, you are awesome!
