“Dayna agreed to take my 1 year old Shih Tzu, Jack on a last minute basis while I worked a few overnight shifts and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving him with her and Paul. She sent me photo updates throughout the evening and Jack honestly looked right at home! I can’t say enough good things about them- Thank you so much Dayna, Paul, Pumpkin and Louie!!”


“As a new dog mom I was hesitant to leave my puppy with a sitter. But I am happy to say that Atticia made me feel very comfortable. She responded to messages in a timely manner and kept me informed with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely use her again.”

“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work.

About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

“Alani is great and helped me out with a last minute booking. She took great care of my sweet pup and was very communicative, I would definitely recommend her!”


“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”



“I had a great experience with daycare/dog-sitting at her residence. I booked with Elizabeth very last minute and she was gracious enough to accommodate my request! Her yard was perfect for my dog who enjoys being outdoors.”


“Erin was absolutely amazing with Milo! I felt confident leaving my puppy with her because I knew he was in good hands. Such a great experience for my first time booking on Rover!”


“Hannah was superb! She took such good care of Ben while we were in town visiting. She gave periodic updates and was really accommodating even when our puppy had a few accidents. Overall, such an ideal experience and would recommend her to anyone who needs dog sitting!”


About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I have experience with big dogs and small tea cup sized dogs. I love cats and I am excited to meet your fur babies! My first dog sitting experience landed me a job for almost 12 years! I owned a large god for 10 years until she passed. Nothing brings more joy then providing love, shelter, support, and lots of snuggles to pets while their families are busy doing human things. I love taking dog on walks and playing fetch. Training dogs is difficult and rewarding for both master and pet! Keep me in mind when you make your choice about where you want your fur baby to stay! Did I say I love dogs!? ❤️ Pet care and self care are the same thing. You café for your pet the way you care for yourself. Daily walks, training(if needed) eating a routine diet. I make sure that pets have ample food or per owner request. Make sure that there is water, play time is important. Socializing is important in the animal world.

“Ange was so wonderful with Zazu! Super punctual and communicative. Zazu was so excited to see Ange day two of being minded as she clearly treated him so well. Couldn't recommend Ange more highly and I will definitely request Ange's skills and talents again.”
