“Heather is wonderful! It is clear that she loves what she does and loves the dogs she cares for. We are so grateful we found her and are at ease knowing our dog is in good hands”
“This was our first time using River and so we were a bit nervous about leaving Betts with a complete stranger. Wes and his family made us feel at ease and our Cocker Spaniel Betts was well taken care of. We received regular updates, which made us very happy we'd chosen Wes and we highly recommend him!”
“Any time you leave your pups with someone you don’t know, you naturally experience a sense of anxiety. That apprehension went away as soon as I dropped off my pups with Alan. He volunteered to show me the space where my dogs would be in his house, shared pictures of my dogs throughout the stay and gave me periodic updates on how they were doing. All this was greatly appreciated. You could tell Alan really loves dogs and enjoys pet sitting. I highly recommend Alan and plan on using this again!”
“Doggy heaven! Obviously a favorite sitter, your pup will have plenty of playmates, activity, and room to play and relax - outside and inside. Booking with Martin was easy, quick, and he communicates very well and promptly. Martin exceeded our care needs in a fun and safe environment. I'm sure our Brandy can't wait for us to leave town again! 😁”
“Katherine and her family are the best! My Abbi was cuddled and loved as if she was theirs! I received photos and a report every day on how she did. I highly recommend them for caring for your fur baby!!❤️”
“We are so glad we found someone who loves our puppy just as much! Our puppy stayed for a whole weekend. Samantha is great at communicating, kept us updated with the activities throughout the day and sending us pictures was a plus for us! Definitely recommend her, and will absolutely book with her again.”
“Had our first stay this weekend with Damariz. Freda to to her right away. Damariz was vary caring and attentive. I received updates Freda and she was having a great time. I would recommend without hesitation Damariz for the care of your pets.”
“Stacy took wonderful care of our two dogs Renzo and Chloe. She’s a true animal lover, very attentive, professional, responsible and compassionate. We will definitely hire her again!! Thank you Stacy for all the pictures and updates on the dogs. <3 We really appreciate your help.”
“Hands down absolutely the best. I’ve never left my baby with non-family but they took amazing care of Steve, with daily photos and updates, and even stayed up late to make sure I could pickup my baby as soon as I got home. What an awesome experience to find someone like Lisa who I can trust & highly recommend!”
“Sonia is amazing as always and provided so much peace of mind on our pup's 5 day stay! We will not be using any other sitter from now on! Both of our dogs love her and her family so much! 10/10!”
“Hendrix has a second family. He fit in so well here with their kids and dogs. I was tempted to extend his vacation because of how much the family loved and took care of him. He’ll most definitely be back.”
“Vanessa took great care of my baby boy while I was away! She gave me regular updates. My boy came back so happy and exhausted from all the fun he had! I would highly recommend trusting your fur baby with her 🥰”
“The best sitters I could have asked for! Super communicative and knowledgeable! Truly felt like our dogs were cared for like they were their own. Camila gave us a tour of their home when we dropped off our dogs. It only made me feel more comfortable and secure leaving my dogs with them. We received updates often and lots of pictures. I don’t think our dogs wanted to leave! I cannot thank Camila and Chuck enough for opening their homes to our boys! We will be recommending them to all our friends and families!”
“Very responsive, had to book last minute and she was very accommodating with pick up time/drop off. Received a lot of pictures and videos. Snoopy had a great time!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience fostering dogs for a rescue organization and taking care of friend's dogs. I find true joy in caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether it’s playing fetch at the park, going on long walks, or just spending quiet cuddle time together, I genuinely love making every dog feel safe, happy, and special. I grew up in a home filled with dogs and have had my own rescued doodle for the past six years. I personally trained him to become a certified therapy dog, and we volunteer together at schools to bring comfort and smiles to kids. Although he is very mellow and does not play too much with our dog friends, he loves having dogs stay with us! We live on the back of a property and have our own fenced-in yard. For the past three years, I’ve also fostered and volunteered with a senior dog rescue, Frosted Faces, which has given me valuable hands-on experience with older dogs who need extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my deep empathy and attentiveness to each dog’s individual needs. I’m experienced in administering medication and caring for needy pets, and I’m always gentle and patient as dogs settle into new environments. I truly see each dog as unique, and I strive to give them the love and respect they deserve every step of the way. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my daily life. When I’m not working, I dedicate as much time as possible to caring for and bonding with the pets I sit for. As a teacher, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability on weekends, holidays, and evenings. This allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent—whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, or a calm, comforting presence. I offer a safe, loving, and relaxed environment for pets in my care. I live in a cozy, private home located at the back of a quiet property, complete with a securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely explore and play. I’m also very active and love taking dogs on walks to a nearby park that has both a large grassy field and a fenced-in dog area for safe off-leash time. My own dog, a gentle and friendly 35-pound doodle, is incredibly calm and welcoming with other dogs. He’s been a wonderful companion while I’ve fostered senior dogs and often sets a great example with his mellow demeanor and friendly energy. I'm also happy to care for pets in your home if that’s what your dog prefers. In most cases, I would bring my doodle along with me, as he’s well-socialized, non-aggressive, and comfortable in new environments. I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine, whether at my home or yours.
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated with videos and pictures and was quick to respond to al messages. Stephanie took my dog on walks, to play the park, sent videos of him playing fetch and tug of war...I can totally tell that my dog felt right at home and got along great with her two older dogs. To top it all off, I had missed my flight back and was unable to pick up my dog until the following day; Stephanie had zero hesitation to continue watching my pup for another night and was nothing but empathetic and happy to help me out. She also has vast experience working at a Veterinarian clinic so I was secure knowing she was able to handle any sort of emergency that may have transpired during my absence. Stephanie will definitely be my go-to person! Thank you so much, Stephanie!”

Big or small, old or young and healthy or needs special care. We are still friends to this day as she is a caring and truly good person. Katherine Brydon”

Terra Nova dog parents share their Rover experiences
I keep going back to Melinda to keep an eye on my little fur baby when I’m out of town. Always get greeted with kindness and happy thoughts when I show up. Communication is so great whether it be text, phone call, or just pictures of my fur baby’s day. So grateful to have someone, like Melinda, to keep my pet safe while I’m not able to!
My dog had an amazing stay! She got plenty of love, attention, and daily walks to the park. Juliana kept a close eye on a minor tail injury my dog had and made sure it was cared for properly. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend!
Aviva really loves dogs! She welcomed my dog into her home and made him feel a part of the family. My dog was very well cared for and Aviva kept me posted daily with pictures of how my dog was doing. He was walked every day and Aviva followed all my instructions about my dogs routines. He spent 11 days there and I could tell he was given lots of attention and was well groomed. I hope to be able to line up Aviva again when we have a need.
Michelet was amazing and quickly put my mind at ease. He was in constant communication with daily updates & photos of my two senior furbabies. I have two senior dogs, who are anxious and may not do so well in new environments. Girasol & Zan were very well cared for by Michelet & his family. I am so happy with the experience we had. This was my first time leaving my furbabies with someone other than family. Thank you Michelet & Family!
Stacy was amazing! She took such great care of Lulu and Raven while we were away. It was clear they were happy and comfortable with her. She kept us updated and was super reliable. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to leave our pups with her again. Highly recommend!
So great! Jess was welcoming, patient, and obviously has such good experience with dogs. Her communication was timely and consistent, and she cared for our puppy like one of her own. Additionally, her fur baby, Stroopy, was such a wonderful playmate! Looking forward to more family getaways with the knowledge that our pup will be comfortable and loved. Thank you!
Thank you guys so much for taking care of Charlie. I appreciate the love and care you given him. The pictures and updates of Charlie was amazing. Your kindness and responsibility gave us great peace of mind. Thank you for spoiling him. I think he misses you already 😊.
Alyssa watched my dog while I was out of town. She is amazing! She was very flexible when I had to change both the time for drop-off and pick-up. She brought my wild child to the dog park nearly every day. He came back so happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend her with any fur baby 💗
Chris was awesome! She took care of mambo and made him feel so loved and welcomed in her home! Always communicated and provided updates. If you guys want to leave your fur babies with her, you can rest assured they will be taken care of. They also have other pets at home that will play and keep your pet company too! We really recommend her!
