“Victoria is an incredible sitter, and Ghost and I are looking forward to booking her again in the future! She is extremely thoughtful and truly a dog person. We scheduled a meet and greet very quickly and had a lovely time getting to know one another. She introduced Ghost to two of her dogs and walked us through her daily routine while sitting. After a horrific event at a boarding facility this past fall, I was anxious to leave Ghost again, but Victoria made me feel so comfortable. She sends multiple videos and check ins daily. I can’t begin to describe how at peace I felt seeing him after the first day with her and the other dogs! Victoria is so wonderful, and we feel so lucky!”
“Amy was amazing!! She sent pictures of my dog frequently and provided a lot of updates. She took such great care of my dog. She is reliable, prompt, and attentive! She made sure my dog got lots of walks and did fun activities. I will be using her again in the future!!”
“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”
“Sierra was most accommodating to my dog's anxiety levels and care needed. She was kind, patient and communicated well. She gave him some extra love by taking him to the dog park. We would hire her in the future.”
“This is the second time we have booked with Audrey! And she is phenomenal! She sent daily photos and treated Winston like her own. I loved to see photos of Winston and Blush playing together! Super excited for their next play date! Audrey will be a go to sitter from now on!”
“Ellyn and her family are simply the best!! They’ve watched our little Bobo (80 lb australian shepard lol) a few times and the most recent was for about a week and a half. She kept us updated and sent lots of pics which helped as I get anxious leaving him!! They live in a great location and bobo got so many walks and even had other doggy friends staying with him. We could tell he loved his time with her!! 10/10 recommend:)”
“Ashley did a phenomenal job watching Finn while I was in Ireland. I have never boarded my dog or left him at a Rover’s house before, but Ashley relieved any anxieties that I had! She sent daily updates- pictures, videos, and stories! These were a highlight of my day. I knew Finn was having a great time with her, and I will definitely leave him with her the next time I travel.”
“Sharon is wonderful! She kept us constantly updated with lots of wonderful photos and videos of our dog, making me feel reassured and connected throughout our time away. Highly recommend Sharon for her excellent care and thoughtful communication.”
“Tevon was great! We had a last minute need for a sitter (same day!) and he was so willing and ready! I was a huge blessing to get someone so highly rated and trusted. I knew our boys were safe and loved with him. He was great about communicating and sending us cute pictures and videos every day. Thank you Tevon! We will definitely look you up when we need to travel again!”
“Kristina and Fletcher were great! Very friendly and accommodating people. Most importantly, doggo was happy and healthy with them! She got lots of walks and attention, and we got plenty of pictures of her loving life while we were away. They were conscientious about her care, and we felt at ease leaving her with them. We will certainly be using them again!”
“Our dogs were well taken care of over a weekend at Shannon and Steven's home! They were very communicative and based on all the photos, we know our dogs received the thing they crave the most = snuggles. We were thankful they were able to accomodate us in the mix with their 2x dogs. We'd definitely book with them again if Louie and Bess would allow it! ☺️”
“Joseph took very good care of our dog during our recent vacation. He was very flexible and accommodating when the airline delayed our scheduled return. We felt very comfortable leaving our precious dog with Joseph and look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“The communication before and during the stay was excellent. It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm. My best fur friend, Maggie May, has been with me for 10 years. We love walks, hikes, car rides, and hanging out at home. When we’re at home, we’re also hanging out with our two black cat homies, Bellatrix and Sirius, who have been with us since 2020. I work from home 4 days per week and have a fairly flexible schedule. I go on daily walks/hikes permitting. I have no problem at all staying home and crafting while hanging out with my pets on a weekend night! I have a secure tie out in my backyard and plenty of cozy places to hang out inside. My dog, Maggie, is lackadaisical about most dogs and just wants to get a good sniff in.
“Tia is responsive, easy to work with, and gives the pups plenty of attention. She sends photos and updates regularly and despite not wanting to be left at the sitter’s I can tell my dog has a good time!”
“Christine is a great sitter. My Winnie is happy at her place and has great interactions w other pets while she's there. I love the communication and photos she sends.”

Rebecca W.
“Rebecca has been a long-time pet sitter and dog walker for our household for several years now. We have two Australian Shepherds and one Tabby cat that she has house sat for many weekend trip that my husband and I have gone on. She not only takes loving care of our insanely high energy Aussies with tons of snuggles and frisbee time, but also tends to the needs of our senior Tabby who requires multiple feedings and medications as well. She manages walks with both Aussies well. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone who adores their pets and wants them to be treated like family. She takes care of ours as if they were her own and she is one of their favorites to see.”
