“Denise is kind and caring. She has taken great care of our little Terrier and always updated us as well while we were away. Thank you Denise! We so very much appreciate you!”
“Diane was great! Lilly seemed comfortable there and it’s nice to have the fenced in backyard since we don’t have that at home. I appreciated the updates and pics over the weekend!”
“My pup had such a great time being boarded with Dylan, his partner, and their pup! I received lots of pics which I’m super grateful for. Would absolutely book with Dylan again in the future!”
“If you are looking for a home away from home for your fur baby, look no further! Tessa, Tyler, and the kids will care for and love your fur baby as if they were their own. Leaving your fur baby for a night, a couple nights, or an extended time can be a stressful event but this sweet family will take that stress away. I appreciated the daily check-ins and I could tell from the pics and videos that my girl Poppy was having the best time ever and I know she will be so excited to go back! I could not be happier that I have found such a wonderful place for Poppy when I need to be out of town. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!”
“Sarah and Anthony were the perfect sitters for our little dog. They also have a big dog and small dog to keep her company. Their house is very dog friendly as are they, thank you so much for taking such good care of her and sending pictures. This experience could not have been better!”
“We recently adopted our dog, who has been through a lot and were worried about leaving him for the first time, but the Armstrongs immediately made us feel comfortable, and that our dog would be left with a loving family. Our pup has some unique behaviors (liking to sit alone, enjoying time outside even if it is raining) and they were more than willing to allow him to be himself, without us having to ask. They also sent so many nice updates that made it easy for my partner and I to enjoy our vacation. Also, when our dog was having trouble eating his meals they kindly found a solution after checking with us to make sure he got food. Looking forward to having our dog stay with the Armstrongs again soon!”
“Seemed to be very caring with our dog and stayed in touch with us. Baxter came home and seemed happy and ready to crawl into his favorite space and take a long nap.”
“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
“10 stars! Elizabeth has a great love for dogs. Mochi was in the best care with her. She took him in like he was her own. She made sure he had so much fun with so many outings, doggy play dates, and snuggles. She had great communication throughout. We highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”
“Mari was absolutely fabulous! Our dogs had a grand time, and we felt very comfortable with leaving them in her care. Plus, we loved all the photos! Thank you so much, Mari!”
About: I've had both dogs and cats as family pets most of my life. I love having them around and taking care of them. Enjoy taking them outside and for walks as needed. I have been dog-sitting for friends for years and I have 3 kids who love animals as well. We have a full fenced yard for safe outdoor play. I am happy to personalize care for your pups individual needs and routine. Your pup's safety and care is my top priority. I am currently a Stay at home Parent so my schedule is very flexible. I'll be able to meet your animals schedule needs and will be present with them often during the day. I have a fenced yard and no other animals at home so your pet will be our main focus and will have a safe area to be inside or outside.
About: I have spent my life as a pet owner and I like to treat everyone's animals the way I would like mine to be treated. I have, at one time or another, owned dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, snakes, rats, goats, horses, and chickens and am comfortable caring for many more. I know this site is mostly limited to dog and cat care, but I'm happy to pet sit anything. I am happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours and I'm very flexible regarding my schedule. Every day I care for my own household animals, and I'm more than capable of taking care of plenty more. My animals include 3 dogs of varying sizes, two cats, a parrot, and an aquatic turtle. Though I have plenty of experience with other animals as well. I'm happy to either host animals in my home or venture to pets in their own homes. I believe that my job in caring for a person's pets is to adhere to their wishes for their pets. I want to follow the expectations set for any individual animal. I love to lavish animals with love and affection, but that isn't the right approach for every animal and I need to respect the wishes of their humans within the scope of safety.
“Brandy and her family were incredible! They gave my pup an incredible Thanksgiving full of family and friends and a turtle. She seemed bummed to go home when I picked her up. Will definitely be giving Brandy a holler again next time I need a sitter.”
“fantastic. care. we were apprehensive leaving our baby and Tina & James were amazing! Updates with pictures were sent with great little notes attached. We highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Wilna was the most wonderful dog mom (or grandma, as she called herself!) for our little Charlie that we could have imagined! She sent us tons of sweet pictures and updates on Charlie's fun, and let us know how he was doing throughout every day. He came home happy and relaxed! We couldn't have asked for a better or more caring sitter for Charlie. Thank you so much, Wilna! We definitely recommend Wilna most highly, and we will definitely use her services again!”

This our third sit with Jacqueline. Cinnabon LOVES her. I love knowing that Cinnabon is having a blast and I love getting lots of updates. This time on the way to her house Cinnabon started getting excited when she recognized the neighborhood. It made our goodbye so much easier. Am I little jealous of my how much Cinnabon loves Jacqueline? Absolutely. But I love that for her! Can’t recommend her enough!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely outstanding experience with Joel & Crystal! I couldn’t have asked for better people to care for Murphy while I was away on a hunting trip in Wyoming! From start to finish, Crystal was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and wonderful about keeping me updated. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing my boy was in such loving and capable hands. It’s one thing to find someone you trust to watch your dog, but it’s another to find people who genuinely treat him like one of their own. They even went above and beyond by giving Murphy a bonus bath! The best part? When I picked Murphy up, Crystal jokingly admitted she had considered not giving him back because they loved him so much! 😂 I told her I’ve heard that from just about every Rover sitter Murphy’s stayed with, but sorry, that’s my boy and he’s coming home with me! That pretty much says it all. Murphy clearly had a wonderful time, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was happy, loved, and well cared for. Five stars aren’t enough! Joel and Crystal have earned my highest recommendation, and Murphy will absolutely be back! 🐾
Jessi was unbelievably kind and accommodating for my special needs dog. Even though I told her not to bother sending pictures because we would be out of cell range - when we got service back I was welcomed with a bunch of happy pictures! Nova didn’t want to leave, which is seats a great sign!
Mahalia was great with my German Shepherd during a multi-day stay. She was friendly and easy to work with from our first meeting through pickup. I really appreciated the open communication and daily photo updates, which showed my dog was happy and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely book with Mahalia again.
