“Holly was amazing and 100% trustworthy which is always my biggest concern when booking a sitter! She keeps you updated multiple times a day and sends tons of pictures! She took my dog on so many walks, she’s fantastic! Will definitely book again and HIGHLY recommend her!”
“I am so pleased with how well Shardee took care of my Max!! She sent pictures and videos each day multiple times which made me feel so much better. He was playful and happy in the videos which was great to see. This was the first time I used a sitter and I’m happy I did because Max was so happy when I picked him up unlike before when I have lodged him at animal clinics. I will definitely be using Shardee again!”
“It was a nice relief to know I didn't have to worry about my 2 pups when I boarded them for 2 nights. She responded fast and gave me updates and pictures my rascals. Definitely would recommend.”
“Bonnie was wonderful with Sophie. Sophie is older and Bonnie was patient and loving. Sophie had a difficult time leaving them. I would recommend Bonnie for all your pet needs. Thank you again Bonnie.”
About: Since I was around 5 or 6 I was always drawn to different types of animals especially horses, dogs, and cats. Everyone whose met me will tell you they would trust me with their pet cause of how well taken care of mine are. I also have years of veterinary technician experience and I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid including CPR. I do work full time but get off around 1 or so. My summer availability does open up a good bit so I'll be able to do more and be a bit more flexible. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own and everyone whose been around me knows that mine are spoiled rotten and I do the same for theirs. What other way would it be though?
“Kelly is AMAZING!!! My sweet baby Tucker had the time of his life with Kelly and her sweet pups! I highly recommend her. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about fur babies. She treated him like one of her own. She recommended a better food option for him and sent him home with his new favorite toy. I will definitely rebook with her when I go out of town. Also, I will be looking into her doggy day care services. Tucker became best friends with her dogs and I know he misses them!”
“This was my first experience using Rover. Kourtni made us comfortable from the very first visit. She treated our baby, Carter, just like her own. I loved the pictures and updates Kourtni sent everyday. Carter had a great time and would definitely go back. I would recommend Kourtni to anyone needing to use Rover.”
“Don’t delay….book with Sophia and Trey!! Our pup Lucy stayed with them over the Thanksgiving holiday while we were in town visiting family. Due to our crazy travel schedule, we needed to make some unexpected and very last minute changes to the reservation. They were so very flexible about it and went above and beyond to kindly accommodate us. I loved the pics and updates they sent. It was clear that Lucy had a fabulous time and her love tank was filled to the brim. I will definitely book with them again when I’m back in town visiting family. 💜”
“Mary Bess was awesome ! We felt comfortable leaving our dogs with her as she has a nice big fenced in yard !and plenty of room in her house for the dogs to roam. She is highly recommended and we will for sure be using her again !”
“Fantastic! Highly recommend. I had to go out of town last minute for two weeks half way across the world and didn’t know Hunter prior. Well, let me say I would leave my German shepherd with Hunter and his wife again and again. It was clear his well-being was a priority and he got along super well with their two pups. I received daily video, photo, and text updates about my dog, Kuno. They even gave him a bath midway through his two week stay. We did a meet and greet at a local park a couple days before my trip, and that went well, and I appreciated all the communication I received before during and even after his stay. Hunter and his wife even helped me out by picking Kuno up when I was running late for the airport. Kuno was sad to leave their house and he’s been sleeping off all the fun he had. Definitely reach out to this couple! Thanks again!!”
“As a first time Rover user, I was hesitant in trusting our fur baby with strangers. I am so glad I read their reviews and went with my gut instinct! Rue had a great visit and was not in any type of distress after we picked her up - unlike after being boarded. The communication was excellent and we even received daily pictures! I would not hesitate to use them again!”
“Excellent!! Lori is an amazing petsitter! She sent me pictures and updates and had a fenced in back yard as well as a doggy door. My babies didn't want to leave! She truly treated Cable and Floof like her own fur children! She asked me questions any time she wasn't sure about their food or habbits. I'm so glad I found her! Will be using her every time we go out of town!”
“The best sitters! Pyro loved his time here and got along great with their pup too! Could always count on them to send me photos and keep me in the loop! Will definitely be using them again!”
About: I have had dogs since I was 5, and I have also taken care of everything from hamsters to horses. I have pet sat for family and friends for the better part of 10 years. I personally own a cat, and she is completely indoors. My roommate also has a dog that lives mostly inside and we take it on regular walks. I'm confortable with dogs if all sizes, and willing to run or walk with them. I am also very comfortable handling dogs of any temperament- be they aggressive, shy, or friendly. I am available at any time, even for emergencies. My current schedule allows me to be very flexible and open to help you and your pets get the care they need. I have worked in multiple pet care environments, from vet hospitals to trainer kennels, and have had the opportunity to work with dogs of multiple dispositions and temperaments. I know how to handle myself and your pet in a manner that can keep both of us safe and happy.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 11 years old. I cared for my dogs and my neighbors, friends, and family pets. I am currently working full time so I would be able to care for your pets and give my undivided full attention Friday through Monday. I have an open, big backyard and a front yard for play time and I can also crate your pet if it’s needed or wanted.

“Nicky is, without a doubt, the biggest animal lover I know. Her life revolves around her own fur babies and she never hesitates to help others with theirs. I have 10 animals of my own, 5 different species, and she's the only person I would ever trust caring for my beloved pets because I know she will always show them as much love as I do. She is VERY knowledgeable about proper pet care and takes it very seriously. She's honest, trustworthy, and has a heart of gold. Any pet would be incredibly lucky to be under her care.”
