“Amazing with my little void! Everyday pics and video and my little baby looked so happy to be there! Went above and beyond and made little toys for her!”


“Richard did a great job with Al. He kept me updated on Al’s daily activities with pictures and video. Al was able to play nicely with his dogs in the fenced in yard. Communication was easy and prompt. I’m happy with my experience with Richard and recommend him!”

“Great dog sitters for my anxious little dog. They sent updates and photos daily. My dog was more comfortable the second time around. I will be booking you again in the future! Thank you.”



“Today when I took Breya over I was happy because I can tell she likes Amy and has a great time with her by the way she greeted her. She does the excited whining and jumping like she does when she's happy to see me.”


“Brad was amazing with Kelso! He made sure he kept us updated the whole time we were gone, worked on training, and even got Kelso to start going to the bathroom in the yard vs only on walks! He made our experience leaving our baby better than we could have imagined! Would recommend Brad to anyone who wants their dog loved and taken care of!! Thanks again Brad!”


“Adam is the best companion and sitter for your dog you could ever imagine. Our dog Auggie spent 12 days in Adam’s home during our recent vacation and we could not be more grateful for the care, love and attention he paid to Auggie. Adam opened his entire home to our dog, got to know him and bonded with him super quickly; he took him regularly for long walks, dog parks, visits to his friends and other dogs, and shared daily with us countless pictures of their joyful activities. Thank you Adam, Auggie and you have bonded forever.”


“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”


About: Hi, I'm Shannon and I petsit with my husband, Steve. We have both grown up with dogs and have been devoted pet parents for over a decade. We’ve cared for everything from mischievous puppies to wise old seniors who needed daily medications and extra TLC. Whether your dog needs a slow stroll, a game of fetch, or a quiet lap to nap on, we’re here to make them feel at home. Our own pups—Louie and Bess—are friendly, playful, and used to sharing their space. We treat every dog like they’re part of the family (and yes, we talk to them in silly voices). Pet care is our routine! Either Steve or I will be home full time when your dog is with us, so they’ll get plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Our dogs love their daily walks, and visiting the dog park (with your permission) is always a highlight. Between window watching, sunbathing, and playtime, your pup will be enjoying a mini vacation of their own—while you’re off on yours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. At our home, pups are never left alone—either Steve or I will always be here to supervise, cuddle, and play. We have a securely fenced yard (6 foot privacy fence) for safe outdoor time and a spacious first floor where the dogs can relax, play, and snooze in the sun. If your dog needs medication, special feeding, or just a little extra love—we’ve got it covered. You can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and very loved.


“Kathy does such a great job with my dog Cooper. She is so kind and loving to my dog! I get many Pictures of him through out the day. I know he is very taken care of. And gives great walks!!”



“Very impressed with the care and attention Victoria gave my dog. As a veteran on Rover I have experienced many sitters and Victoria is one of the best I’ve had. I truly had no worries leaving my dog with her as she cared for her as I would have. Wonderful communication with videos every morning and evening while always asking all the right questions to be sure my dog was always happy and comfortable. We have found our new sitter. Highly recommend!!”


“Breanna was amazing! Always kept in contact and we felt our sweet boy was loved and taken care of! Definitely the best experience we had with Rover!”


“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”


“Thank you, Geoffrey, for taking such good care of Benji. I really appreciate your love of animals and the frequent photos and updates while we were traveling. I think he felt at home with you. I will definitely book with you again.”


“Krista was a wonderful sitter for my extra large pup Koda! And her dog Griffin was an excellent playmate and so well behaved! She kept me informed with updates throughout the stay, and was incredibly patient and understanding of Koda’s quirks and unique needs. I will absolutely be looking to book with her again next time Koda needs a place to stay!”


“Rose was a great dog-sitter for our dog, Wednesday! We loved getting a daily update with pictures of our girl. Wednesday and Rose’s dog Daisy had fun playing together, too! Already booked another stay for Wednesday with Rose for our next trip!”


“Ronald was very responsive and took great care of my old gal! Would highly recommend.”


“Christine was so great w/ floof. He can be an anxious boy and she went out of her way to do lots of small things to make his stay as stress free as possible, working to accommodate him and what he needed to feel at home. She sent regular updates and pics, he came home a happy boy :) We'd love to use her again for future vacations”



“Pam was wonderful with my baby Zeus! I had a house emergency last minute and she was so understanding and flexible! I would recommend her to anyone (:”


“Tessa was great! My dog isn't usually the cuddly type, but he cuddled right up to her. She was always communicative, sent regular pictures and updates, and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet to be sure she knew what my dog needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”



“Ali was a perfect fit for Lizzy! We couldn't have been happier. We went away for a week, without access to Wi-Fi. Ali met with us beforehand, and we instantly felt comfortable to leave Lizzy in her care. She was so gentle, Lizzy relaxed and felt right at home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.”

Stanton Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abby and Jason were incredible with our five month old puppy. We were anxious about leaving her for the first time, let alone for a whole week, and we were at ease as soon as we met them and Wall-E. Prior to booking they were communicative and that continued through the stay with daily updates. As soon as I picked her up I could tell she had a great week. As I am writing this she is taking a nap and we have already requested a stay for our next trip!

Matthew was personable and communicative, sending updates and pictures daily without prompting. I am confident that my dog was comfortable there and well taken care of.

Sydney was absolutely incredible! She was extremely accommodating and was able to help me out last minute. Very quick to respond and sent updates of my little munchkin multiple times a day. I will definitely be booking again!

I highly recommend Natalia!!! She was wonderful with my high anxiety dog. She gave him lots of love, exercise, sent great pictures with updates a few times every day, and he was happy to play with her adorable dog. She let him sleep with her (which is how he sleeps at home) and we appreciate that. She was very flexible with the pick up time. I will absolutely ask her to watch Hudson again!!

Sarah does a great job taking care of my dog! Good communication and treats them like her own pet. Repeat client and plan to use her services again.

Excellent communication and flexibility. Luna had a great time and everyone seemed to get along well.

Krista and her sweet dogs took such good care of our pup! Lots of updates and we knew he was in good loving hands.

Brad is hands down our favorite sitter we’ve used! If we travel we look at his calendar first. We have a senior dog with some challenges and medication. Brad is amazing at taking care of our older guy. He follows the instruction provided and gave me daily updates. I would highly recommend Brad if you get the opportunity!

Mary's communication is great: flexibility with drop off and pick up times. She sent us pictures of the pups when we were away -- which we love. She's organized; easy going; and our pups seem happy when they are with her.

breanna did a great job of looking after our 7 year old dog. she treated her like she was her own. i felt so comfortable leaving her with breanna - she kept us updated with pictures and updates every day. i would absolutely book with her again for our next trip out of town.

Tessa took great care of our dog while we were gone! She was very friendly and communicative. She sent photos and updates while we were away.

Best! Our Auggie stayed with Adam many times, which has always been a treat for Auggie (and the most trustworthy place where we feel we could leave him). Thank you, Adam!

Lucy and Matt were the best!! Our pup, Frankie, stayed with them for a week while we were away. They sent daily pics, took her on so many adventures, and introduced her to new friends!! We will absolutely be using them in the future and would recommend for anyone who needs a dog sitter for their fur baby!!

Warner took in my puppy for emergency daycare with no questions asked. He answered his messages late in the evening and I was able to make it into the office on time the next morning. Easy drop off, easy pickup, happy and well loved dog!

Rae did a great job with our dog Rosie. She was very conscientious - took extra care to text me with any concerns, took Rosie for walks, and sent nice pictures. The large, fenced-in yard was great for our 90 lb. English lab - lots of room to enjoy. Thanks Rae - we will definitely use your dog-sitting services again!

Zsofi was an amazing host for our rescue dog Julie! Julie was immediately comfortable and had such a great time on all their adventures together. You can tell Zsofi had a lot of dog experience because she knew just how to prepare for the Fourth of July fireworks to make Julie extra comfortable even in a new place. We hope Zsofi is available again the next time we go out of town as I’m sure Julie would love to go back!

Harry had an amazing time with Ella after she adjusted to her new environment! Would definitely book again. Harry will be back!

Oh my gosh she was so awesome! Sent me multiple pictures a day and constantly kept me up to date. Most definitely recommend if you are in need of a dog sitter. 10/10!

Was great with my girl Diamond she gave updates that put a smile on my face. I would definitely rebook for future trips.

Our Pup loves Melissa's home and family! On his last stay he lept out of the car and ran right to the front door. He has had multiple stays on long trips and we know he'll be well taken care of. We always get lots of photos and peace of mind that he's in loving hands!
