“When you find someone that calms your nervous system when it comes to taking care of your pet, that you love dearly, that’s a really good feeling. Syd has given me that from the start. Competence is comforting. So happy she’s been able to step in and take care of my dog, Piggie. She’s been great keeping me advised of things going around my house, I have projects happening while I’m gone at work, and sending me a bunch of pictures of Piggie as well. So if that’s what you’re needing, it is a excellent choice”


“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Alejandra was wonderful during her overnight stay in our home with our dog. She is professional, trustworthy, and compassionate, and her excellent communication gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive to our dog’s needs, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our dog and our home. We highly recommend Alejandra and will be happily booking her again soon.”

“I’d give them 10 stars if I could! So many updates, so many pets, and they followed all instructions. Elsa is a pretty shy dog yet she was excited to get some last minute pets from Dan when he dropped off the keys and he got her to walk past the front door for potty breaks/walks. Those are huge wins for my pup.”

“Hired Lisa to watch our 15 week old puppy during the week while we were at work. She was amazing. Showed up on time, sent updates, cleaned up after him, and took him on LONG walks. The walks really improved his behavior when he was left alone and we appreciate her so much! 10/10 recommend Lisa.”

“Rachel was fantastic! She was so calm and caring, which our dogs needed. When we got back from our vacation, our house was in great shape and the dogs were happy. She was willing to collaborate on dog care with my mom, and even set up two meet and greets so that the dogs would remembered her since we booked her way in advance. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Christopher looked after our kids for 9 days and my old Great Dane just fell in love !! The young ones kept him quite busy and he diligently took care of each with a warm heart and lots of love hugs and kisses to all the fur babies . Absolutely fantastic to know you can rely on such a competent and friendly dog sitter like him. Got home today and my kids was over the moon .. Definitely a 5👌🏼in our books ..”

“Casey was absolutely incredible with my (almost) 16 year old Lhasa Apso. This was my first time using Rover or having anyone other than family and close friends watch my dog and I felt uneasy and uncertain hiring someone I didn't know to stay in my home and take care of my dog, especially now that she's a senior. Admittedly, I've been reluctant to take trips as my dog is aging and has more needs now. Casey made me feel very at peace with updates throughout my business trip including photos and messages. This allowed me to feel more comfortable being fully present with my trip. I will definitely use Casey every time I travel as long as she's available and now feel completely comfortable traveling again, for the first time in a few years.”

“Shea was so great watching our puppy over the long holiday weekend. Asked great questions for set up, sent pictures throughout, and Willow definitely loved having her stay at the house.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining each dog’s regular routine. I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog feels at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and any special instructions to ensure consistency and peace of mind. You can count on regular photo updates, reliable communication, and dependable care throughout your dog’s stay. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make their time with me fun, safe, and as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m available for weekend boarding and love giving dogs a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. Every dog receives personalized care based on their routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, snuggles, or simply relaxing in a quiet environment, I make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved throughout their stay. Please message me with your scheduling needs and I will do my best to accommodate. Thank you <3 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with plenty of space to relax and a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor time. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I closely monitor them during play and throughout the day. A crate is available if your dog is crate-trained or if they feel more comfortable having their own quiet space.

About: I enjoy getting to know each doggo. Everyone has a different personality, habits, ages & stages. It’s important to make a genuine connection and effort. I am available for in house drop ins from Monday through Thursday. My hours will vary depending on how many clients I have a day. Otherwise, I look forward to spending time together. I care for pets in my clients home by making sure the pets area is clean, that they have access to water, and that I am paying attention to their needs. They will let me know if they need to use the bathroom with subtle changes in behavior. Or the owners will let me know their schedule and I’ll follow the doggos routine.
“Jacquelyn was great with our 8 years old dog, Kixy. She was caring and cuddled with Kixy to reduced her anxiety while we were away on our trip. She also took good care of our home and communicated regularly with us. We very much appreciated Jacquelyn and her time and love for our pup!”

“Brionna was easy to communicate with, shared lots of photos of our pups, and was very caring with both our dogs. Upon returning home, it was clear the dogs enjoyed being with Brionna (even our grumpy senior dog!). Felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in experienced hands. Looking forward to booking with Brionna again soon.”

“Chrissy watches my cat while on vacation and put me at ease. She followed all instructions and my cat responded well to her. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future.”
About: I've had pets all my life and I currently have 4 of my own. I am someone that can be trusted with your pets and they will be cared for just like my own. I'm a freelance performer and my availability is very flexible. Should someone need a last minute sitter I am the person to call. I try to be active with my fur babies and I will make sure they are fully stimulated so they are behaved and happy when the owner gets them back. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats to keep your baby company. I also have extra crates if needed. I take them to the beach
“Kara was fantastic. Super diligent and flexible in preparing for her long stay with my pup, updated often, and I came back to a dog that was happy and relaxed. Can’t say enough good things!”

“We were first time Rover users and Adrianna helped us to feel comfortable right away. She was able to stay at our house on short notice to watch our two dogs. She was in contact with us the whole time and sent photos of the dogs daily. We would highly recommend Adrianna if you are looking for someone to take good care of your animals.”

Jacquelyn was really sweet with our puppy and senior dog. She kept their routines and made sure they were in bed by the time we came home. We appreciated the photo updates of our babies having fun while we were away. And she was super respectful of our home. Would definitely book again!

Rachel is fantastic! So sweet and very quick to respond! It was my first time getting a sitter outside of my family for my sweet 14 year old dog and Rachel was great at sending me pictures and reassurance that Zephyr was comfortable. Respected our home and kept all my plants happy as well as my fish and aquatic turtle! We were welcomed home to a very happy/healthy dog and clean home! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!

Jack does a great job as both a house sitter for our dog and overall house sitter. He sent us photos regularly to keep us up-to-date on how our 14 year-old dog, Chloe, was doing under his care. Those photos made us very comfortable that Chloe was happy under his care and doing well.He also was a great houseguest based upon the condition of our home when we returned.

Christina is fairly new to us and Prudence. She has done a few Drop-in’s but this was her 1st time with Prudence while we were away. She did a great job, super communicative, amazing photos, our pup was just as happy as she is with us, and left the house better than when we left. She is a gem.

Shauna is wonderful! I’ve used her several times now, and she always does a great job. She works full-time, just like we do, so she understands how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for our pets while we’re away. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job with our animals. We’re so happy to have found her and will definitely continue using her. Highly recommend! ❤️

This was our first time leaving our dog. We felt we could trust her with Alejandra. She asked very good, clarifying questions, reassured us, and communicated with us, including lots of photos. Our dog has a lot of anxiety, and Alejandra was very patient with her. We would definitely ask her again!

Shelli was amazing! She watched our very large Great Pyrenees at our house for 11 nights. We received nightly updates, including pictures and videos of our girl. She took such great care of our dog and our house and we were able to go on our vacation and not worry at all. We will definitely use Shelli in the future! She is the best!

Haley did a wonderful job staying with our little stranger-averse terrier for a week while we traveled internationally! She sent tons of photos, kept us up to date, and communicated well. She also left our home in pristine condition when she left--bedding washed and dishwasher run. 10/10!

Mary has helped me with staying in my house with my dog while we were away. She was very attentive to our dog when we first met. While we were gone she kept us updated and even handled the unexpected well. Our dog was happy and our house was immaculate when we got home. We will be booking with Mary again

Ebony was absolutely wonderful! She sent us so many pictures and gave us so much relief while we were away for the weekend! Blue can be realllllly high energy and it always makes me self conscious that he’ll be a little too much for people but Ebony absolutely loved him (and Sans) just like I would and just made me feel so much relief that they were both okay. She made sure the house was taken care of too which wasn’t something I was expecting but appreciated so much! AND she made banana bread, which after days of hotel food, I absolutely devoured. Absolutely will be booking again anytime we leave for a trip! 1000000/10 recommend for your pups!

Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!
