“She was amazing with Jinn! Will definitely be coming back. Had timely updates with pictures and vids and Jinn had a lot of fun with his fur buddies and was definitely used up all his energy”

About: I've been around pets me whole life. I have always loved dogs of all sizes. My parents owned Shih Tzus since I was a kid and I was constantly around close family members' German Shepherds as well. I've done drop-ins countless times over the years for cats of friends and family. Now along with my husband, we live with our dog, Melon, and our cat, Amy. Melon is a 50lb 1-year-old mix breed, and Amy is an 11-year-old senior cat. They can be hectic and they keep us on our toes, but I wouldn't have it any other way! When your pets are in my care, I'll always treat them with all the love and adoration I give my own. I am currently between full-time jobs, so my schedule tends to be open and very flexible for caring for your pets, whether it be on weekdays or the weekend. For pet care at your home, I will prioritize sticking to whatever routine keeps you and your pets comfortable and happy! I know how stressful it can be when family members aren't home, and will do whatever your pets need to know that they are safe and loved even in your absence. If your dog comes to stay at my house, you can take comfort in knowing they'll have access to a fully fenced back yard to run and play in, so they are secure and entertained. My dog, Melon, LOVES other dogs and nothing would make her happier than a new friend coming over to hang out with her.
“Mary was communicative, friendly, and super flexible with my puppy's first stay away. He is in a challenging phase but she handled it in stride. My pup was extremely happy in the photos and videos she was kind enough to send and came home ready to snooze :) Thank you!”

“This is our first time using Rover and we are so lucky to find Mary. My Shiba Inu Jiro never had any daycare or boarding experience before, Mary eased my nerves by having a Meet & Greet even before our first booking. Mary is very patient and experienced. She asked me questions about Jiro, and tried to understand Jiro better. During the day, She sent me messages and photos telling me Jiro was doing great. She also took small video clips. Jiro had great time at Mary’s place, and I will definitely book again. Thank you, Mary!”

“Great experience! We highly recommend Jackie. She sent us pictures and videos thoughout the day. It was obvious to us LOKI was enjoying his time with Jackie. She clearly loves dogs.”


“We loved working with Katey! We left our fur baby in her care and we couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in keeping us updated. It was the first time we had to leave our doggo in someone else’s care. So the texts and pictures meant a lot! :) Katey is super kind and sweet! And she has an awesome family! We have already booked her again!”

“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”
“Albina was amazing! She continuously updated me on my puppy. I obtained photos, confirmations in feeding, adjustments when needed, and so much more. Overall, she made my first experience with Rover great. I will be using her services again.”

“Naomi & Johann J. will always be our 1st choice to watch Javy whenever we need to leave him with anyone. They sent many photos and reassuring messages about Javy’s eating all of his food…he wouldn’t have eaten anything, had he been stressed about being there. Wonderful pup watchers!”


“I dropped my dog Maya for day care with Eric. He took great care of her and I also received a couple of pictures of her throughout the day. I will definitely use Eric again!!”

“This place is amazing!!!! I feel very fortunate that I found them!!! I contacted Jessica to watch my dog while I was going on vacation. I adopted my dog about 3 months ago. She was returned 2 times to the shelter (nobody ever took the time to properly train her..she's a bit hyper). We did a meet and greet and she gave me the idea to drop her off for a daycare session to let my girl know that mama would be back for her when we went away for vacation, because I have been worried that she thinks she's being given up again. When I got to Jessica's house, I could immediately sense that she was a kind soul and so good with dogs! I feel SO comfortable leaving Miss Buttercup here for a week with them!!!”

About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
“Marilyn and her son Adam were awesome. I took my 11 month old and 50 pound pitbull mix to them for a few hours and it looks like my pup had a great and fun time. From when my pup first met them, she was shy but she warmed up to Marilyn and Adam within minutes. She came home pretty tired as she probably ran around quite a bit and was entertained by them during their care. Thank you both!”
