1. Sarah P.


“Sarah was very thorough with details and understanding of our our elderly dog's needs. She was flexible and communicated well. Thanks for loving on our sweetie!”


2. Megan M.

“Megan was a God-send for me. I needed a sitter to watch Gracie while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. 3 weeks before the wedding I had some car issues that resulted in added stress to me. Megan worked with me on getting things booked, and knowing that having Gracie taken care of w was so relieving during that time. Her kids were amazing with Gracie and we loved getting daily updates on our sweet girl. We will definitely use Megan and her boys for Gracie in the future. Thank you sooo much for loving our girl.”


3. Nathan & Jenna R.

“I highly recommended this family to be your dog’s sitter! They have watched my min pin Daisy seven times. They promptly respond to requests and have a nice sized backyard for her to safely run around in. The pictures and videos sent while she stay’s here are both adorable and illustrate my dog’s love for this family. 🐶🐾 Amy”




4. Mark and Vicky H.


“Excellent Experience!! This was our first experience with Mark and Vicky, and all I can say is outstanding. Mark and Vicky looked after our Westie Bella for 2 weeks. They sent us regular updates and photos and gave us total piece of mind that she was happy and cared for. Mark and Vicky are compassionate and clearly love dogs. We are thrilled with the service will definately use them again.”


5. Kaylee J.

“Kaylee was great! I had an emergency and she was available with such short notice. She took great care of my dog and I will definitely reach out to her again when I’m in need of a great doggy sitter!”


6. Pat S.

“We are so happy we found Pat on Rover. She took special care of our boy Loki. We received lots of updates throughout his stay which we love. Happy that Loki has two new friends, Pat and Lexi. Thank you!”




7. Mark & Elizabeth Y.

“Mark and Elizabeth are outstanding dog sitters. They treated Wrigley as if he was their dog. They even allowed Wrigley to cuddle with them in bed. They sent pictures consistently to update us on how he was doing. They are also super nice people. I highly recommend trusting your dog with Mark and Elizabeth.”


8. Jenna B.

“Jenna was so great with our dog! We really appreciate that she only takes one family at a time. She sent updates which was comforting and thoughtful. Our dog felt very welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend her! Hoping she’s available the next time so our dog is happy and comfortable again!”


9. Kaishin K.

“Kaishin and family are sooo nice! They showered our dog with love and care. She sent daily updates of all the fun and snuggles they shared. Can’t wait to use them again for our next trip!”


10. Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”


11. Shellie F.

“Shellie was awesome with my goldendoodle Daisy. Prior to me dropping Daisy off with her for the day, she took the time to message me and get to know as much as she could about her; her likes and dislikes, her daily schedule; pretty much everything and anything. When I met her I immediately loved her! She’s sweet and personable and I knew I couldn’t have found a person with a bigger heart to trust my baby with. She updated me throughout the day to let me know how Daisy was doing and that meant the world to me. I’ll ABSOLUTELY use her in the future anytime I need a sitter for Miss Daisy May. Thank you so much ! ❤️??”


12. Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”




13. Emily Ann C.

“Right away at the “meet & Greet” I knew my Domino would be at home with Emily and her sweet Schnauzer! Domino is a senior dog and Emily accepted that. He fit in great with the family! Such a comfortable feeling that your special pet is being so cared for! ‘TIL next time Emily! THANK YOU!”


14. Sharon K.

“Sharon was amazing with my pet. She was very responsive and friendly. My dog felt comfortable with her and I received updates regularly. I would recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”


15. Jan H.

“Jan did an excellent job watching my Yorkie Bichon mix! She was a pleasure to meet and the experience of introducing my dog and getting the arrangement set up went really well. She sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. She helped put me at ease with her level of care and attention to detail regarding the entire stay. I would highly recommend Jan as a dog sitter and I definitely will be going back in the future I’m sure!”


16. Carrie Haring K.

“Carrie was awesome! She communicated quickly and let me bring my dog for a visit before I booked with her. She sent updates everyday and she really pampered our pup! I highly reccomemd her!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm... I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed… Thank you

19. Cornelia B.

“I never have to worry about my little Ollie when he is with Cornelia. I know he is getting his pills on schedule and is getting a lot of love and attention. He was so relaxed when I picked him up. Thank you & your daughter from me & Ollie!”


20. Kate W.
