“Linda was incredibly responsive to my request and so easy to work with. She took such good care of my Yorkie and I’m pretty sure he got all the love and snuggles he needed. She is a kind, gentle soul who gave me peace of mind on his 8 day stay. I owe her a huge THANK YOU!”
“First time boarding my 2-year-old mini golden retriever. It was for 3 days 2 nights. Kirsten was amazing and professional. We met her and her pup before booking—big yard and nice view. I was very pleased with how communicative she was through Messenger. Answered all my questions and concerns I had and how quickly she responded. On the day of our trip, I felt very confident that Max was in good hands. Sending me updates and photos of Max. I never felt pressured to pick him up. On the contrary, she was very flexible with her schedule and mine. It’s never easy to leave your baby (pup) behind with strangers but in this case, Kirsten was outstanding.”
“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”

“Katelyn and Paul took great care of our pup, Calvin.

We look forward to being able to drop Calvin off during our future travels, knowing that he's in good hands!”

I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”

It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at.

“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing.

“Jane is absolutely fantastic, and if she’s available she’s the one you want to choose! She gives her undivided attention and care to my dog, and since my pup is older - Jane is mindful of her energy levels. She was also incredibly patient and understanding with my dog who tends to get nervous when I’m not around. I also 100% trust her - which makes a huge difference in “dropping in real quick” vs needing to be there to hand my dog off to her. BOOK HER SHE’S AMAZING! 😊”

“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”

“First time boarding my 2-year-old mini golden retriever. It was for 3 days 2 nights. Kirsten was amazing and professional. We met her and her pup before booking—big yard and nice view. I was very pleased with how communicative she was through Messenger. Answered all my questions and concerns I had and how quickly she responded. On the day of our trip, I felt very confident that Max was in good hands. Sending me updates and photos of Max. I never felt pressured to pick him up. On the contrary, she was very flexible with her schedule and mine. It’s never easy to leave your baby (pup) behind with strangers but in this case, Kirsten was outstanding.”
“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Katelyn and Paul took great care of our pup, Calvin. Despite having undergone an unexpected major procedure one week before leaving for our wedding, Katelyn and Paul did not hesitate to take Calvin into their care. He healed up nicely, he got to go on beach adventures, and he absolutely loved playing with their dog Winnie. We look forward to being able to drop Calvin off during our future travels, knowing that he's in good hands!”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“My dog Mele recently spent 10 days or so with Madison and Moses. They regularly sent me photos of her, sometimes playing with other dogs. She seemed happy and healthy when I picked her up.”

“So kind to our pups and made it so easy to coordinate. Super fast response times and sent lots of pics while the pups were with them. They even sent them home with cute bandanas that we will cherish always. Amazing care takers!”
“From the moment I reached out to the meet & greet and then dropping off my sweet boy, Adrian was very responsive, welcoming and made Cosmic feel right at home. She was in constant communication with me and sent me pictures and videos frequently to show just how well Cosmic adjusted as he is a shy dog at first. Cosmic can’t wait to be back playing with his new dog pals and he even made friends with her family. I highly recommend Adrian!”
“Cerita took good care of my senior dog while I was away for a couple weeks. She sent photos and videos throughout his stay. He seemed happy and content. So glad to have found Cerita to board my 🐶.”
“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
“Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“Andrew was awesome. Took great care of Stella for two nights, sent perfect updates and even helped her with some behaviors. She had a great stay with his two beautiful dogs. Highly recommend.”
