“She did an amazing job! Jett even gave her a kiss prior to us leaving. I was extremely happy with her care for Jett and will be using her again!”


“I have never left my dogs before and was very nervous about it. But Stephanie was amazing!!! She sent me pictures and updated me and I never felt more comfortable while on vacation. She’s truly a gem and animal lover. I would 100% recommend.”


“Natalie was great! She sent lots of updates and photos that made me feel like I was still there with Hero. She was extremely good with communication and ensuring all of Hero’s needs were met. I will definitely be using her again in the future!!”


“Karisa was fantastic! Our dog is older (15) and can get a little nervous, so a caring, home environment is what we were looking for. There was such peace of mind leaving our pet with Karisa. She even sent pictures so we could see how cozy Tilly was in their home and she was sent home with a “goodie bag” of homemade doggie treats! We highly recommend!!!”


About: I’m currently pursuing my education with one goal in mind: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of your beloved fur babies! Whether it’s training energetic puppies or giving extra love and care to senior pets, I’m here for it all. I’ve been caring for animals since I was just 4 years old, and with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences—concentrating in Ecology—I’m excited to bring both heart and science together to provide the best care possible. Making tails wag and pets feel safe is truly my passion! I’m currently available on weekends, which means I can dedicate lots of quality time to caring for and playing with your fur baby! Now that I’ve finished college, I also have plenty of free time—perfect for early morning potty breaks, training sessions, fun play routines, and even overnight visits with attentive monitoring and late-night potty runs. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority! I have spare crates available and two sweet pups of my own who love making new friends! With plenty of toys and regular trips to public parks, your fur baby will have lots of enrichment and playtime. My apartment even has a doggy-gated play area where your pup can run around safely and freely! For added peace of mind, I’m fully prepared for emergencies—I can crate when necessary, and I use doggy seat belts for safe car rides. I’m also CPR-certified and have hands-on experience with syringe-feeding medications if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority!

“This was the first time using Agna and we love her! She took such great care of our dog and sent us wonderful photos. You will definitely use her again!”


“Alexis sent pics and videos and was wonderful getting my little dog to take his meds and eat his food. It was apparent that both of my dogs were happy and well taken care of. I goofed up the reservation and Alexis explained to me patiently and kept the dogs until I got back from my trip the day later to pick them up. Alexis watched my dogs when they were outside even though her yard is fenced. She was great with both of my dogs!”


“We had a last minute cancelation and Jocelyn was very accommodating. Our dogs got along fine with her two pups. I would recommend her and will use her again.”

“Jennifer has great communication and her/ her family were wonderful with our pets!! We got multiple pics a day of them and they looked so happy while they were with her! - Def makes me feel better about leaving them!”


“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”


“Very great FIRST experience. My boy did not have a personality change and was just as happy when I picked him up after 3 days. I highly recommend!”


About: I’ve spent my life around dogs and had the privilege of raising my own from puppyhood to his senior years — 14 amazing years together. While I’m not looking to bring a new dog into my home full-time right now, I still genuinely enjoy being around them. I tailor care to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their rhythm — from active walks to quiet downtime. My husband and I work full-time, and our schedules allow us to care for dogs during early afternoons through the evenings on weekdays, as well as full days on weekends. We team up to provide consistent, loving attention for your dog. Safety and trust mean a lot to us. Our girls have grown up around dogs and always show so much love and care — they’ll stop every dog we see just to say hi, give hugs, and plenty of belly rubs. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and no other dogs in our home, so your pup will have plenty of space and attention. We always follow the owner’s instructions to keep up with their usual routine — activity, meals, naps, and all — to make sure your dog feels comfortable and at home. We know dogs need both chill time and playtime, so we make sure there’s plenty of space to relax and feel comfortable, plus lots of chances to get active and use their energy. As a family, we work together to give your dog the best care possible, treating them like one of our own.

“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”


“Dogs were worn out after playing with Emily’s very friendly dogs. Had no issues, will definitely trust Emily and her husband to watch over our dogs again!”


“Kristen is awesome!! I’ve left my dogs with her several times now and it’s so nice to be able to travel without worrying about how my pets are doing. She sends lots of pictures/updates and I always know my dogs are in good hands. She is incredibly kind and sweet! Best pet sitter ever!”


About: I love animals and always grew up around them! I have a dog of my own. I believe pets are a part of family and deserve to be loved and cared as such! I would be so happy to help care for your pets while you’re away! My husband and I work full time but we give our dog plenty of outside time and walks when we are home! On the weekends we make sure to be with our dog as much as possible! We take great care of the dogs we get by giving them a safe environment and making sure their needs are met! We always want them to feel at home!

“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”


“Gail and Charles were wonderful with my little Sadie. She came home rested and not stressed out. I had booked a kennel for her but thought she needed cuddle time - I am so glad I did not send her to the kennel! I will definitely use Gail and Charles again!!!”


“It was such a blessing to find Anne because I needed to leave my Lady for the first time for 2 weeks . It would be stressful for my dog to travel abroad on a very long trip. So as soon as I met Anne I knew it would be her I would choose to take care of Lady. I was so happy and delighted during these days . Every day I received pictures and updates about her. I saw Lady was fine and very well taken care of.I strongly recommend Anne she made my trip so peaceful and enjoyable. ❤️”

Summit Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie did a great job watching both of our doodles! She updated us throughout their stay and treated them as if they were her own! We highly recommend her

Stephanie cared for Paw Paw and Pepper as her own family members. Prompt response. Ample updates. Dogs came back to US very relaxed and well taken care of. Definitely recommend.

We’re so grateful for the incredible care Emily and her family gave Onyx while we were away! This was our first time ever leaving him with someone else, and we were a little nervous, but her daily updates and photos truly made all the difference. He looked so relaxed and happy in every single one! Truly he was having a blast hanging with Emily’s pups, it was so comforting to know he was in good hands and company. Emily, thank you for treating him like one of your own, we came home to a very content pup! We’d absolutely love to book with you again next time we travel and for play dates! 🐾💛

Azure is very welcoming and I knew that my fur baby was in good hands. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up and I could tell he had a good time.

I can always rely on Jennifer T. to take care of my 120 lb. Dog , Kamora and treat her like she is a part of her family. Highly recommend.
