“Seriously the best sitter ever. Great photos and updates along with communication. I ended up in the hospital during our trip and Crystal took the stress off the dog away while I healed. She was incredibly professional and kind, we can’t thank her enough.”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone over night and it was an amazing experience, she was very flexible with scheduling and took him out to run around and play. I loved the photo and video updates, 10/10 would recommend.”
“She took great care of our boys ( 8 month golden retriever & 10 year old chihauhau) they both require special care and needs being a playful energy filled puppy and a senior dog with health issues. She was awesome and sent us alot of pictures keeping us updated. Would recommend her to anyone looking in the area!”
“My babies enjoyed their mini vacation. They were excited to see me when I picked them up but they didn't seem stressed at all. They were definitely loved on the whole stay. I always got quick replies to my messages, updates and pictures. Will definitely reach out again if needed.”
“Brian provided daily updates, pictures, and even video. His own animals are very sweet and interacted well with our dog. Brian and family were very attuned to our dog's particular needs. All of this gave us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation.”
“I had Jennifer keep my little guy over night, and want to say that she is just the person for the task. She loves dogs, and I knew she’d take care of him like her own. And upon pick up he was happy and taken care of! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Melody was great with Bucky! She was very flexor with our schedule and helped watch my dog while traveling for the holidays. Extremely friendly. Would let he watch Bucky anytime.”
“This was our first time using Rover for overnight stays. It was such a great experience. Jessica and Robert responded within an hour of my request to set up a meet-n-greet. There was constant communication and pictures during the overall stay. Our dog Luna had a great time with their Maya. I would definitely book again.”
“Bob is the best! He sent us pictures every day, along with notes about how Charlie was doing. She had been recovering from a soft tissue injury, and he was super careful about making sure she got the rest and recovery she needed. It really made us feel comfortable about leaving her for a week, knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Pups had a great time, went on walks, runs, went to the dog park, and had endless interactions with the whole family with many photos of said events. 10/10 would stay again!!”
“Meghan was great! She took great care of my very energetic puppy, taking her on plenty of walks and the dog park. I had no issues and she kept me updated as I requested with adorable photos and messages! I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter and would absolutely book her again!”
About: I grew up taking care of animals, anywhere from chickens to hamsters to dogs! I have the patience for shy animals, and the energy for energetic pets! I’m here for all. I stay quite active, going on walks or runs. But I can always just relax and stay at home. I’m flexible and responsible when it comes to anything. I care for my pets with plenty of play time, outside and in. I have a fenced in yard, water always on standby! I spoil with treats and bones!
About: Hi there! My spouse and I are lifelong dog lovers who have been surrounded by pups since childhood. Between the two of us, we've grown up with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. We have five dogs of our own, and we also volunteer as fosters for a local dog rescue. We’re comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from playful puppies to big couch-loving seniors. Whether your dog is active and energetic or prefers a quieter routine, we’re happy to accommodate their needs with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Our home is full of dog-friendly energy, and we treat every dog like family. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be in caring and capable hands while you're away! Whether we’re caring for our own pack or welcoming a guest pup, we maintain a calm, structured environment with lots of love and consistency. Because we’re already on a dog-focused schedule, it’s easy for us to adapt to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means early morning walks, medication reminders, or just extra snuggle time. When caring for dogs in their own home, we prioritize consistency and comfort. We maintain your dog’s normal schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel secure and stress-free while you're away. We treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. In our home, your dog becomes part of the family. With five of our own friendly, well-socialized dogs and plenty of experience as fosters for a local rescue, we provide a warm, dog-savvy environment where pups feel safe, stimulated, and loved. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with space to play, lounge, and rest—whether your pup prefers fetch in the yard or a cozy nap on the couch. We follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and preferred activities. We welcome all breeds and sizes, and we’re especially experienced with multi-dog dynamics. Whether your dog is social or needs more one-on-one attention, we adjust accordingly to ensure they’re comfortable and happy.
