“Jason was really sweet with my dog. She isn't the easiest dog and he was able to make her comfortable. He also took her on walks and showed up when he said he would. I appreciated the photo updates as well. Will definitely rebook with him!”


“Rhea did a great job with Spock and took pictures so I could see how he was doing! I got home to a happy kitty and I appreciate her also bringing in a few packages I got. Thanks so much!”


“I am so thankful for Ally. She really gave me peace of mind helping me out with drop in visits. The pictures she sent were great and really showed that she interacts with the dogs. I got a feeling she was there to be their friend not just doing a job. I happened to see her on camera being very very sweet to them as well and I could tell my dogs were happy to have her as a new friend.”


“Lizzi is a loving caring responsible life saver for my pup. Great at accessing needs. Flexible to add service when i was out of state. Professional and reputable. Can't compliment or say enough about her capabilities to take care of my difficult unique trauma relief sassing pup. Any questions about feeling confident with leaving your pet alone. Lizzie is the one!!”


About: I bring not just experience, but heartfelt understanding. I currently have two young, energetic dogs and had the privilege of loving my previous senior dog. That journey taught me the full spectrum of pet care-from playful puppyhood to the tender needs of aging companions. I work full-time in healthcare, mostly from home. With an internet connection I can work almost anywhere. My dogs are rarely left at home for more than a few hours and never left alone overnight. I give that same time and energy to your pets. I will follow whatever guidelines you prefer within your home. Whether that’s crating, sleeping on the bed, or their own special bed. I take frequent walks (if desired) and do not leave pets outside unattended.

“We worked with Elizabeth for dog-walking our golden retriever, Steve, and had a great experience. She was on time and very friendly. She set the bar high as our first time using Rover - I can definitely see us booking with her again.”


About: I’ve had love for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a variety of pets growing up such as dogs, cats, fish, and ducks! I’ve watched many of my neighbors pet growing up as well! I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home and love being around animals, so taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my week. I enjoy going on walks, spending time outside, and just hanging out with animals I just try to make pets feel at home, whether I’m in my space or theirs. I’ll be sure to stick to their routine, making sure they’re fed per usual, while making sure to give them lots of playtime/walks and love. :)

“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”


“This is our first time using Rover. I was extremely nervous because nobody has ever watched our dogs outside of family and have never had anyone stay in our house. I can honestly safe after meet and greet with Hanna I was sold! She is absolutely responsible, kind and attentive to the dogs. We had Hanna come in a a few days to do a check in before we leave this weekend. She has made me feel so at ease with the process. She has messaged me sent pictures of the time spent. Her response to any questions you have is speedy! I HIGHLY recommend Hanna!”


About: Tyler and I have both grown up around dogs all our lives. We’ve raised our golden doodle Pabu since he was a puppy and he would love to have a friend to play with! We know how to take care of puppies and Pabu is a lazy boy who loves to hang out with other animals! Pabu is not territorial at all and will love having somebody to play with! I’m currently a student, and Tyler works remotely so at least one of us is pretty much at home all day! We take Pabu on daily walks and try to go to the dog park at least a few times a week. We LOVE our baby boy and will also treat your dog like family :) We live in an apartment complex with a dog park in the complex that your dog can play in! It is a nice neighborhood with walking trails. The complex is super dog friendly, and Pabu is friends with many of the dogs living here! Pabu chills with us all day and is allowed on all the furniture (we purposely bought comfy furniture so he could take better naps).

“Lavina did a great job taking care of my cats. Even when they were being shy and hiding under the bed, she spent time in the room with them. She gives good updates and responds quickly to questions.”


“Samantha was wonderful! Very reliable, she sent a lot of pictures each visit and it was clear our dogs love her. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She played fetch and took them on a walk. We will definitely book her again.”

As a devoted dog dad myself, I understand just how much your pets mean to you. I treat every animal in my care like family.

“I am so happy I booked Lisa! There was a power outage at my home while I was gone and my litter box has an electric component which left the litter box unusable by our cat. At that point, I would not be coming home for another 3 days! Lisa was able to reset the litter box along with putting out wet food, checking on the dry food auto feeder and searched for our recluse of a cat because the door to the garage was left ajar when we left. I am so thankful to Lisa for being so thorough, professional and for treating Banksy with such care and love. Thanks Lisa!”



About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old and am a lover of all animals. I have had my own dogs since I graduated from college in 2017 and they have been the light of my life. I currently have a 6-year-old female black lab named Nellie, who gets along with most dogs. I would require a meet and greet before boarding to make sure they get along. I regularly care for friends' dogs and enjoy playing fetch, going for walks and cuddling. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, so I am aware that they may have unique needs. I work from home 3 days of the week, and on the days when I do work from the office, I am only there for half the day. I have plenty of time at home to spoil your dog and care for their needs. I have a fenced yard and plenty of room to run around the house, as well as a lot of toys. My house is big enough to separate the dogs if they need some space/time to themselves, and I have a crate that I can use if you would like me to. My dog and your dog will not be left together unattended, and feedings will be done separately.

I’ll actually play with them, walk them and make sure they’re comfortable with me. I’ll communicate with you! I’ll just make sure I’m following through with my word ALWAYS

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, currently own two dogs and two cats, and watched dogs for a few years, before taking a little break. I currently work during the day, but can do drop ins after work and on the weekends. If need be I can always shift my schedule a little bit. I always check to make sure water and food bowls are cleaned, litter boxes are taken care of, and nothing is left out too be a potential choke hazard.
