“Esmeralda was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative and our dogs did not want to come home because they had so much fun! We will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊”
“This was our first time to use a sitter other than family. We met Lauri prior to our vacation and she put our mind at ease. She sent us pictures of Bailey, (our mini golden doodle puppy) daily - Bailey seemed to enjoy her time with Lauri. We will definitely be calling on Lauri again.”

She is a dog of 10 years and has some special needs with taking medicine.when we picked Bella’s up she seemed very happy.which tells me she was well taken care of.

She has everything to make a pup feel cozy and comfortable. She potty trained my puppy in one day! Definitely a repeat sitter for my Joey ?.”

She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. Buttercup was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“Allie and Chipper did a great job taking care of Gracie. We looked forward to the pictures she sent of Gracie playing with Chipper and getting belly rubs from Allie. We will definitely ask Allie to keep Gracie next time we need a sitter.”
“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”

About: Every pup needs a Step-Ma. Someone he/she can call when no one is around. Accompanied with 50 years of motherly, animal-loving experiences - meet a near retired, empty-nester looking for a way to fulfill a nurturing need now that all the children and animals have moved into their own home. Special skills include an ability to go on brisk walks around the neighborhood with your pup, add-on a talent of novice dog-training skills acquired from being raised by a dog whisperer mom, and fun time with tennis balls and frisbees. I currently work part-time throughout the week, but make my own schedule a week in advance. I am available most days from the early mornings til 11 AM. My works shifts are only 3 hours at a time, so I will be able to spend much needed time with your fur-baby when visiting/boarding and hanging out at my home. I have a fenced yard with a nice back deck if your pet likes to lounge outside. There are no other dogs here, just a couple of yard cats that patrol the perimeter and stay far away from dogs. I have a 2-story home, if your pup is like my son's boxer, Riley - she enjoys running up and down the stairs to play tag. There's soft furniture available for cozying up when spending the night, and a fireplace for the wintertime to snuggle up to after a brisk run in the cold night air. There's other fun stuff, too, like tennis balls, stuffed animals, bubbles, and water sprinklers. And, of course, treats.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and other small animals. I can administer medicine to friendly animals, and cleanliness, kindness and communication are my priorities. I am currently a full-time online graduate student and am therefore usually very flexible. My daily routine involves taking my child to and from school and sports. For in-home boarding, I have a fenced yard and a separate indoor/outdoor space for my own kitties to remain separate from your pet. Small dogs can enjoy hanging with me and/or playing outside during the day. I'm always up for lap cuddles! I prefer to crate the dog during night-time hours, from about 10pm until 6:30am.

“Charles is an amazing person. He gave me a lot of updates and pictures. You can tell that he is truly knowledgeable about pets. I will definitely book him again.”
About: I’m an animal lover who’s happiest when I’m outside walking, running, or biking and I love having a furry buddy join me for the adventure. I grew up with four dogs, so barking, potty breaks, and a little (okay, a lot of) dog hair are just part of life for me. From a young age, I learned how to keep pups happy, safe, and entertained, and that’s stuck with me ever since. Your dog’s needs always come first with me whether that’s playtime, snuggles, or just a nice chill nap in the sun. I’ve got a soft spot for every kind of dog, even the grumpy ones, and I’ll never say no to a good cuddle session. At home, I have three super sweet Ragdoll cats who love dogs (seriously - they’re like dogs in cat form). I’ve also got a big fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for running around. Since I work from home, your pup will have company all day and can hang out inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of playtime, lots of love, and lots of tail wags. That’s what I’m all about. I work from home, so I’m around all day which means your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor breaks! Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I’ve got a pretty flexible schedule and can easily fit in long walks, snuggle breaks, or just some good company while I work. Your dog’s safety always comes first. I’ll never make a decision about your pet without checking in with you first, and I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, or whatever helps you feel at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
About: We are a recently retired couple with 50 years combined experience raising children with a variety of pets. Now we have a loving, playful rescue dog that gets our full time attention. We are home all the time. We also engage and play with our pets all the time. We have plenty of toys to keep them amused too. Our large back yard is fully fenced and safe and clean at all times. We constantly clean up debris. We monitor playtime and meals to make sure they are safe at all times.
About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll still be free to care for your pups! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.
“I highly recommend Michael to anyone that wants someone that will spend quality time with your pup(s) while you are away. This was my first time to use Rover for Marly & Charmin, and I’m so glad I found Michael!! I signed up hoping to find someone that would show them lots of attention when I’m out of town. I am that dog mom that has as much separation anxiety, as my dogs usually do when I leave them. When I left them at Michael’s, I knew they had already made a new friend. Michael sent me several pics through the stay and it was obvious that both pups had already made themselves right at home. This was the first time in 10 years, I felt completely comfortable that they were ok while I was away. When I arrived to pick them up, they were not anxious to leave and kept going back to Michael to be petted. Michael will be my go-to person from now on for doggy day care or boarding when I’m away from home.”
“This was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was kinda nervous with the idea of leaving cooper with someone I didn’t really know but Jennifer was so nice and communicated amazing from the very beginning. Cooper had the most amazing day and has been asleep since I picked him up, which as a puppy owner many of you can agree is the most amazing time to be a puppy owner lol but over all 10/10 experience.”

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbor’s, and friend’s pets since high school. I have experience with small and large dogs, puppies, and elderly dogs. I love animals so much, and have so much love to give as we don’t have a dog of our own right now. I am an active, stay at home mom to two young kids. They are both in school at the same time for two days a week, so I have that time completely free. I am also available some weekends. I am happy to travel to your home to take care of your animals, take them on walks, and give them plenty of love and attention and play time.

I am experienced in many breeds and species including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. Pet care is part of a daily routine which begins with a morning check in to ensure fresh food, water, and a walk or trip outside for a potty break. Throughout the day exercise and play time are included for the pets’ physical and mental well being. Every pet has its own personality, needs, and quirks which I can adapt to as needed. All pets are loved and cared as I provide top notch service to my clients. Clients will receive effective and routine communication while I care for their pets.
About: I bring hands-on experience from working in both kennels and animal shelters, where I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments. My time in these settings has taught me the importance of routine, trust, and compassion. I also have a unique skill set in caring for exotic animals, making me versatile and prepared for any type of pet. Whether it's a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra attention, or any other kind of pet that requires specialized care, I’m ready to provide the best care for your furry (or scaly) friend! As a college student on a pre-vet track, I’m used to balancing a busy schedule while still making time for animals. I have multiple availability blocks throughout the week, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. I’m organized and plan ahead, so I can make sure pets get consistent care whether that’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life and future career goals, so I naturally prioritize it in my day-to-day routine. I care for pets by treating them like family and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine for meals, walks, and playtime so they stay comfortable in their own environment. I’ve had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to give them not just the basics like food and water, but also attention, patience, and affection. Every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel most at ease.

“Our Marlo enjoyed his time with Piper. They had a spacious fence back yard. We received daily photos of his stay. Will be using her services again for our summer vacation.”
“This was our first time to use a sitter other than family. We met Lauri prior to our vacation and she put our mind at ease. She sent us pictures of Bailey, (our mini golden doodle puppy) daily - Bailey seemed to enjoy her time with Lauri. We will definitely be calling on Lauri again.”
“Ann did a wonderful job with taking care of our beloved Bella. She is a dog of 10 years and has some special needs with taking medicine.when we picked Bella’s up she seemed very happy.which tells me she was well taken care of. Ann also sent us pictures every day which was a great piece of mind for me. Thank you very much Ann. We definitely recommend her and will leave Bella with her again.”
“The most humble and amazing experience for my puppy Joey! Callie is so attentive and patient with all the fur babies…She creates an atmosphere that is home away from home. She has everything to make a pup feel cozy and comfortable. She potty trained my puppy in one day! Definitely a repeat sitter for my Joey ?.”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“Miss Brenda is wonderful! Bear enjoyed his time with her. She was so sweet and gave him the rubber chicken toy that he liked. We will definitely book with Miss Brenda in the future! She sent us video/picture updates. We loved to see that he was having fun!”
About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of attention I would give my own animals.
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life and love all animals! I also have been a pet caretaker on the side for many years for my neighbors and enjoy taking care of people’s pets while their away! I am a public school teacher and would love to take care of your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule since I’m off all holidays and summer.

“Robin was the best! She watched our pups while we got married. I couldn’t have imagined a better sitter for such a busy weekend! She was constantly sending us updates with pictures and videos! She made my dog mom anxiety basically non existent. If you’re deciding between sitters to go with CHOOSE ROBIN!!! My dogs were so happy and well cared for!! She was truly the best!!! Couldn’t be happier”
“I cannot say enough about Victoria and Danny. My puppy has never been around big dogs or young energetic dogs. He has only been around my husband and I as well as my husband’s parents, who usually keep him when we’re away. They have a dog, but their dog is 8 years old and very calm and quiet. When I realized our family would all be out of town on the same weekend, I was very worried about putting our pup in a large boarding facility for fear it would overwhelm and frighten him. My fears were confirmed when I took him walking one day and we came upon a larger energetic dog. My poor pup was afraid of the friendly dog who just wanted to meet him. I knew it was time to socialize him more, but wanted to do it in a smaller setting with fewer dogs and someone who could give him a bit more attention. I was so blessed to find Victoria. I explained everything to her and she was so kind and on board to help in any way. We met a few days before his boarding day and although he was very timid and only wanted to stay by my side, she was so patient with him and gave him time to grow comfortable with her and his new surroundings. She even interdict”
“I definitely hit the jackpot with Jennifer! I was so nervous about having to board my dog but when I read the reviews on Jennifer and her bio, I immediately felt comforted! She’s the dog whisperer…my Ellie loved staying with her and playing with her dogs! Jennifer sent pics and videos which made my heart happy! I was worried that Ellie might not want to leave because she looked comfy and cozy there….it was the best stay with Jennifer at her doggy daycare! She has a passion for dogs and it’s obvious because she loves your pet as if they were her own! The bow on this package is that she put together a gift basket with all of Ellie’s favorite things…definitely an act of kindness going above and beyond for my pup! I’m so grateful and definitely recommend her AND will be using her again! Thank you to Rover and Jennifer for making this the best experience for me and Ellie Mae!”
“The best dog boarder we've had, she took extra special care of my girls I'm sure they felt like they were at home. Lots of space that's fenced in so they were able to play and be safe we'll definitely be seeing her again. Thank you again for being so welcoming.”
