“We dropped Dakota off for a short three day stay, and these two were great! They were very communicative throughout the entire process, and provided lots of pictures and relevant updates. They were very flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Dakota CLEARLY had a great time with them, and we would not hesitate to use them in the future if the need arises.”
“We are so grateful to have found Derek and Leslie! We had never boarded any of our dogs before and it was a really positive experience. Our new rescue, Ludo, is nervous and we were heartbroken to have to leave him for a few days, but felt confident with leaving him in their experienced hands. Ludo loves their kids and was calm and relaxed in their care, as evidenced by the photos they shared.”
“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”
“Angela came through again on a short notice request. Our dog, Merle was excited to be dropped off and scratched at Angela’s front door when we arrived. Thanks again Angela!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Nancy was amazing. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable leaving Maple with her, as I can tell she truly loves like her own. Maple will be back!!!”
“Johnna and her family were wonderful with my Kai. He seemed very happy and well taken care of during the week long boarding stay. She was great about providing photos and updates daily, and taking him on little adventures.”
“Adrienne was absolutely amazing with our 9 week old pitty and we won't be looking to anyone else in the future! She treated her like she was her own and sent frequent updates, pics and even videos! Highly recommend her to anyone wanting amazing care for their fur baby.”
“Galady was great! It was Zoe’s first time to meet and stay with Galady, and it was a last minute booking. After all that, Zoe had a great time and meeting new furry friends! Galady sent me updates and pictures throughout Zoe’s stay. Thank you so much Galady for saving my weekend and taking great care of my Zoe girl. I will definitely have your info in my back pocket for future visits!”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Olesia and her husband! They took incredible care of GG and treated him like their own. Their updates were thoughtful and consistent, and it was so clear how much they genuinely cared for him. GG can be particular, but he warmed up immediately- which says everything! We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. We’ll absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Olesia! ♥️”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“Macey takes such great care of my pup, Genji. Macey and her family treat my dog as if he were theirs. Macey also has well-socialized dogs of her own that also love and take care of Genji. This includes her Husky who is about 30xs bigger than Genji. I’ve used Macey twice now and will continue to do so.”
“Greg was an exceptional host for my pups! I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with and I had a last minute need and he was there to help. He kept me more than updated and ensured my pups were exercised and loved. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate caring individual to watch their pups!”
“Piper had a GREAT time with Darlene during her 1 week stay. Darlene provided multiple updates & sent the cutest pictures ever of Piper eating, playing & sleeping. After bringing Piper home she was very happy & well adjusted- absolutely no evidence of trauma or anything negative related to her stay. Darlene is the best!”
“This is my second time leaving my girl with Nadya and her family. My dog got excited when we got close to their home. They treat her like family and I feel so comfortable leaving her with them. So grateful to have found them”

“Nora did an awesome job taking care of our many cats. She followed instructions perfectly, and our cats were very happy. We would definitely request her again, and we highly recommend her.”
“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”
“Mckenzi is very reliable and dependable, putting my mind at ease when I'm nine timezones away! She's really understanding and flexible, for example, I live on a two-house property with an extra gate to deal with and four felines very eager to get out the door -- it's no problem for her! Thank you Mckenzi for the great service and pics of my fur babies so I can see they're doing fine!”
“Johnna was wonderful. She went above and beyond in caring for my elderly cat, and helped me understand how Rover works. (This was my first Rover booking). She is reliable, detailed, and gives great updates on your pets. I am so relieved to know that there is somebody I can trust to come into my home, and care for my fur babies. I look forward to being able to call on her in the future.”
About: I'm a lifelong cat person and currently share my home with two cats of my own, so I understand firsthand how much personality (and routine!) each cat brings to the table. Beyond my own two, I've cared for many cats over the years, including seniors who need a little extra patience, and cats with special dietary needs where sticking to a precise feeding schedule really matters. Whether it's administering a specific diet, keeping an eye on an older cat's mobility and comfort, or just knowing that some cats want to be your best friend while others prefer to watch you from across the room, I tailor my visits to what each individual cat needs. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication reminders, and simply giving cats the calm, attentive company they're used to at home. Your cat's comfort and routine are my top priority — I'll treat them like my own.
“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
“David did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties! We have multiple kitties, all with different requirements, and he kept all the spoiled little monsters happy. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with only cats my whole life and have been a reliable cat sitting for most of my neighbors and connections I’ve made through them for about 15 years. I helped foster kittens which typically involved bathing, training, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care.
“Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Kate was fantastic! She took excellent care of our four cats while we were away, giving them plenty of attention and making sure all their needs were met. We especially loved the daily photo updates ❤️ It can be nerve-wracking to trust someone new with your pets, but Kate quickly put our minds at ease. She was reliable and attentive, and her communication was clear, prompt, and friendly throughout. We highly recommend her, and we will absolutely book with her again!”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
“Very happy with Susan's care of my cat Bella. My cat tends to be pretty particular about new people and Susan was very patient with her and bonded well with her over time. I was gone for quite a while too (3 weeks) and Susan has proven to be someone I could trust in my home and with my Bella. Thank you Susan!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
About: I have a degree in Animal Science and Agribusiness from Cal Poly SLO. I have also worked in veterinary clinics as well as many different farms and ranches around the country. I’ve worked with lots of household pets and livestock both. I’m happy to house sit if needed as well! I had several longterm clients where I used to live who were all very lovely people, and I hope to find some new longterm clients here in the Sacramento area. I recently moved to here and am re-enabling my Rover account for this reason. I am also happy to do one-time and/or short term gigs! I treat all animals with the same compassion and love that I treat my own, and am confident I can take great care of yours! Thank you :) I’m a full time student at Cal Poly and participate in several extracurricular activities such as the Cal Poly Equestrian Team, the Swine and Lambing Enterprises, and more. I have a very busy, active schedule, and I do a lot of volunteer work at the various animal units at Cal Poly which makes it hard to have time for holding down a typical part-time for right now. Pet care/animal care is something that I’m very practiced in and used to do professionally so it is much easier for me to hold a job like this with my current academic schedule. I can do whatever services my clients hire me for whether that’s bathing and grooming their dogs/cats, walking them, playing with them and getting them exercised, feeding and watering them, administering medications, and more. I am very patient and loving with animals and would treat my clients pets with caring and friendly energy.

“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Alexis and her family. Bonnie loved spending the day playing with the kids and other dogs. Communication with Alexis was also great - we’d happily book again!”
“Ariana is very friendly and takes great care of my dog. I can tell that she is a "dog" person and that she knows what she is doing and really cares. It is a bonus that she does not over-charge for her services and offers the convenient pick up and drop off services. She takes several pictures and keeps me updated, which I appreciate.”
“We have hired multiple sitters in multiple cities using this app. This doggy daycare is by far the best that we have had the privilege of sending our puppy to. Our five month old puppy is going through a trying time, with a terrible habit of humping everything in sight when he gets excited. We are working on it, but he’s such a difficult puppy to deal with right now. This host was very strategic with working around our puppy’s shortcomings and very forgiving. And was even helpful with giving us pointers on how to work on this bad behaviour. We are so very grateful to have been able to relax during our family’s belated Thanksgiving dinner knowing our baby was in very professional hands.”
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, but as an adult I've personally adopted 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I have cared for pets at every stage of their life. I'm a freelance digital artist so my availability is open. I don't do artwork outside of my home, however. If I'm working for you that has my full attention. In my home I have a pool. My pug can swim but I'm still always outside when she is. Im very attentive when I take on responsibilities. My house is spacious and we are open to crating. Our pets sleep inside with us.
“Lucas was great with Suki. His calm manner was helpful for her high energy puppy mode. He started the day with a walk with two other dogs and didn't freak when she jumped on him, staying calm and kind.”
“Pepper had another awesome day with Darlene. I am leaving Pepper and my other fur baby with her next weekend. Pepper told me he’s excited to introduce Darlene to his sister Slinky.. lol”
“Jennifer took such amazing care of my dogs Luna and Reggie! She gave us plenty of photo updates and I could see how happy and at ease both Reggie and Luna were. I highly recommend Jennifer and Reggie and Luna cannot wait to see her again!”
About: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
“My puppy was one of the pack by the end of the day, after playing with the chihuahua, and napping with the boxers. What a great day of camp while Inwas at work! Thank you, Julie and Sherry!”
“I had a meet-and-greet with Lucy to see if she and my dog would be a good fit. Lucy asked thoughtful questions about his temperament, any special requirements he might have, and his daily routine. I really appreciated her attention to detail and preparation. When I dropped him off at her home, I realized I had booked her for the wrong weekend! Thankfully, Lucy was incredibly accommodating and still able to care for him, even on such short notice. Her flexibility and willingness to help allowed me to catch my flight and enjoy my trip without any stress. I’ll definitely be booking with Lucy for all my future dog-sitting needs.”
“Olesia was wonderful. We dropped off our dog for around 6 hours and she was very communicative. She sent lots of photos and our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would definitely use Olesia again!”
“John did a great job. My pup was on daycare with him for the first time and looks like he enjoyed a lot. He has a big backyard which was entertaining and playful area for my pup. He really took good care of him.”
“Kerstin took excellent care of my young pup! My options were limited for my three month old pup and we were able to connect quickly. She followed my instructions well and has even help train my pup to be gentle when giving treats! My dog has so much fun that when I puck him up, he doesn't want to leave lol! He is happy and tired by the time we get home I highly recommend!!”
About: About Me Looking for a stress-free alternative to crowded kennels or chaotic multi-dog homes? Welcome to a premium, boutique pet-sitting experience. I cater exclusively to families who want undivided, 1-on-1 attention for their furry family member. When your dog stays with me, they are the only guest pet in my home. Because I do not offer high-volume daycare services, your dog receives my full, uninterrupted presence, love, and supervision. ________________________________________ ✨ Why Premium Owners Choose My Care • Total Exclusivity: No other guest dogs, no pack dynamics, and zero socialization stress. • Constant Companionship: My day revolves entirely around your dog’s established routine. • Tailored For Every Personality: Ideal for dogs who prefer 1-on-1 human companionship, anxious pups, and senior dogs needing gentle care. • Proven Track Record: Trusted by a loyal community of local repeat clients with a consistent history of 5-star care. My days are structured around your dogs regular schedule. While in my care I accept no outside commitments or drop-in visitors. Dogs are in my company throughout the day and rarely out of eyesight. For long-term visitors, I may run errands for no longer than 1 hour. My home is a quiet, soothing, and comfortable place as their home away from home. We interact with toys, puzzles and play; they can enjoy a lick mat if their diet permits, or rest wherever they feel most comfortable: in my lap, on the couch, or the cool floor. Some dogs enjoy the patio where they can watch squirrels and hummingbirds or just soak up the sunshine. Outdoors, our 15-acre park allows your dogs the privacy to comfortably explore and exercise without the anxiety of interacting with other, unknown dogs. My 20'-45' leashes give active dogs the freedom to play Chuck-It or Frisbee.
About: Hi! I’m a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo studying Nutrition, and I’m focusing on pet care this summer. I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies who need lots of attention and exercise to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also very detail-oriented and great at sticking to routines, so I’ll make sure your pet gets the care they’re used to while you’re away. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, providing overnight care, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is always to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I make communication a priority and am happy to provide updates along the way. My number one goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands! I am very flexible and I am open to care on weekdays and weekends. I am usually available throughout the day, from mornings to late nights. My availability for care ends August 12th. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I pay close attention to their routines, behavior, and specific needs-especially during walks and daily care. With experience ranging from puppies to senior dogs, I adjust my approach to match each pet’s energy level and any special requirements. At home, I have a medium-sized senior dog named Amber who is very laid back and gets along well with other pets. When I care for animals in my home, I always do slow, careful introductions and prioritize safety and comfort. I make sure each pet has their own space and only allow interaction when both animals are fully comfortable.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was ten years old. I have experience walking, assisting in training, and entertaining super high energy dogs! I currently work online and take online classes and so I have a very flexible schedule and I can adjust to what your pup needs! I understand your pet is your fur baby! I look forward to adjusting to whatever your needs are and making sure your pet has a fun, safe time!
“Brooklyn has been walking Maggie for a week now and Maggie loves Brooklyn! Brooklyn is prompt to respond to requests and easy to communicate with. Maggie will be 14 this year and she requires accommodations and special handling. Brooklyn has demonstrated compassion and understanding with my detailed instructions. She takes care to pay attention to Maggie's energy and gait and provides updates on her activities. Brooklyn is trustworthy and I feel comfortable with giving her access to my home when I'm away. Thank you Brooklyn!”
“Can't recommend Bill enough. He's been the best care taker for my dog when I'm not around and I feel at ease knowing he's in good hands with Bill. Always love reading the personalized notes after each walk. Thanks for your help always!”
“Riley has been such a amazing help while I was recovering from an injury that prevented me from being able to take my dog on a walk. He was very careful of her limitstions of being dog reactive and made me feel comfortable that she was in good hands!”
About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for two years, caring for the home and animals of family and friends who trust me with what matters most to them. That trust is something I take seriously - every client I’ve worked with has told me their house was cleaner when I left than when they went away, and their pets were happier for having me around. What sets me apart: I treat your house like it’s mine to protect, not just occupy. Dishes clean, surfaces wiped, everything put back where it belongs - you’ll come back to a space that feels cared for and not just sat in. I keep your pets routine exactly as they know. Feeding times, walk schedules, medication, bedtime habits - I stick to it precisely, because I know animals feel safest when nothing changes. I have real experience with a wide range of pets and needs. I’ve cared for Labs, show dogs, dogs on medication schedules, and senior dogs, along with senior cats and cats on special diets. I’m comfortable handling medication administration, mobility needs, and extra attention older or health conscious pets require - nothing catches me off guard. I’m a life long animal person, not just a sitter. In have two cats of my own, so I understand pet behavior and needs firsthand - from routine care to reading the subtle cues that tell you something’s off. I come with a track record, not just promises. Two years of repeat sits with the same families and friends means I have real references who can speak consistency, trustworthiness, and care. Whether it’s a weekend or an extended trip, I’ll treat your home and pets like they’re my own responsibility to protect - because to me, they are. I'm home for the summer from college with no other job commitments, so pet care is my main focus during this time. That means I have flexible, wide-open availability throughout the day and week — including weekdays, weekends, and extended stretches for house sitting. Since I don't have a 9-to-5 pulling me away, I can be fully present with your pets rather than squeezing in visits between other obligations. Whether it's a quick daily check-in or a multi-day house sit, I have the time and attention to give your cats a consistent, calm routine while you're away. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk, safety and consistency come first — pets feel most comfortable when their environment feels calm and predictable, so that's what I aim to create every time. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): I treat every home like it's not my own to take liberties with, but exactly as it was entrusted to me. That means: Following your instructions to the letter — feeding amounts, medication schedules, house rules (furniture, gates, closed doors) are treated as non-negotiable, not suggestions. Keeping doors and gates secured at all times, especially during entry and exit, so there's no risk of an escape. Doing a quick safety scan on arrival — checking that nothing's been knocked over, chewed, or left in a place that could be a hazard, and that food/water bowls are clean and full. Keeping cleaning supplies, medications, and anything toxic out of reach, and letting you know right away if I notice something that could pose a risk (an unlatched cabinet, a chewed cord, etc.). For house sitting specifically, maintaining your home's normal security — lights on a sensible schedule, doors locked, and treating your space with full respect and privacy. Sending photo/video updates so you can see, not just hear, that your pet is safe and settled. On Walks: A secure leash-and-collar (or harness) check before we ever step outside — I don't take a pet out the door until I've confirmed the gear is snug and secure. Sticking to routes I know well, so I can anticipate things like busy intersections, off-leash dogs, or construction — and adjusting the pace or path if something feels unsafe. Carrying water on hot days and watching closely for signs of overheating, fatigue, or discomfort. Keeping a firm, calm hold and clear boundaries around other dogs or people, so your pet never feels put in an unpredictable situation. Immediate check-ins with you if anything unexpected happens — an injury, an unusual reaction, anything out of the ordinary — rather than waiting until the visit is over. Building Trust: For every new pet, I take the first visit slow: letting them approach me on their own terms, learning their specific cues (what makes them anxious, what makes them relax), and following any introduction routine you'd like. I'd rather spend a little extra time earning a pet's trust up front than rush into handling that makes them uncomfortable. That calm, structured approach is really the foundation of everything I do — pets do best when they know exactly what to expect from the humans around them, and that's exactly what I aim to provide.
“We have a sweet but anxious little rescue dog. He doesn't like anything new or out of the routine, and he doesn't like anyone but his ONE human. David was able to help him feel less insecure, and now he has one one human on the (short) list of humans he can trust. THANKS, David, for helping our Buster feel secure!”
“Raina has done a wonderful job walking our dog. We had a lot of additional details and she can be a bit of a high maintenance pup and Raina took it all in stride. Our pup loves her and her walks!”
“Sweet person! My 18 month Aussie was so happy to get out and play/walk with her! She even gave her a bath when she had an accident! Will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Brandie was great with my dog. She came over twice to become aquanted with him beforehand and then took great care of him during her visit. Her communication was too notch and my dog was very happy with her.”
“McKenzi was the primary walker for my sweet girl, Olivia, for over a year and she was by far the most reliable walker that I had. She is amazing at communicating well in advance when she isn’t able to walk her so I can plan accordingly. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a walker, you won’t regret picking her!!!”
“Have had Isabella dog walking service for a few months now, and I am still thrilled with her service! She's super attentive for my pup and I've seen such a growth in independence and potty training since having her. Thanks a million again, Isabella!”
About: I absolutely love pets! I’ve taken care of all different kinds of cats and dogs for about 15 years and have experience volunteering and fostering with both elderly and newborn pets. Most of my work includes feeding, cleaning, bathing, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care (if needed). I am currently working part time, but I still have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available every day during the week. I don’t have a set schedule with work, but it is very flexible and can be discussed depending on your schedule. I personally have strict rules of keeping my pets inside at night due to frequent coyote sites in my area, and have no problem reigning in your pets if needed as well for whatever reason. I can absolutely bend to my clients rules in whatever means I can to ensure their pets safety.

About: I have been an avid animal lover, my entire life. I have cared for critters of all shapes and sizes, from reptiles/amphibians to cats/dogs. I currently have a dog, two cats and a gecko and they are my pride and joy. I am a huge believer in treating animals fairly, with love and respect. They rely on us and we should do right by them :) With having 4 critters myself, my routine very much so is focused around my animals and making sure they have all their needs met. My dog is a high energy gal and I focus on spending several hours each day, with exercise and enrichment activities for her. My kitties require regular grooming and playtime which also has a structured schedule. I firmly believe in respecting and caring for others and their animals as they would like to be treated. I worked as an in home caregiver for several years and know how critical it is to provide the upmost care, attention to detail and compassion for all living beings. That being said, I will not go against personal morals upon someone’s requests. I am not willing to walk dogs, in adverse temperatures or subject any animal to any type of harm or neglect.
About: Animals are my absolute joy. They are such innocent and pure characters… hilarious, too! I’m used to providing dog care services to multiple dogs & I am extremely thorough in all the care I provide. My strong points are connecting to the needs of your pet while also having an extreme eye for details, schedules & punctuality. I respect your baby’s time as if it were my own. I work on weekends, only occasionally during the week. Otherwise, I am free. I prefer the flexibility of working Rover, it allows me to balance all of life’s responsibilities while doing something I love. We have a second bedroom and three very social dogs to make playtime a riot. We take frequent walks & field trips to local nature trails. As a rule, I assume I am always being recorded and I act with the utmost respect for your privacy and safe space.
About: I have cared for and owned many kinds of cats & dogs throughout the years. I've had purebreds and mixed breeds, rescues and ferals even special needs.

“We dropped Dakota off for a short three day stay, and these two were great! They were very communicative throughout the entire process, and provided lots of pictures and relevant updates. They were very flexible with our drop off and pickup times. Dakota CLEARLY had a great time with them, and we would not hesitate to use them in the future if the need arises.”
“We are so grateful to have found Derek and Leslie! We had never boarded any of our dogs before and it was a really positive experience. Our new rescue, Ludo, is nervous and we were heartbroken to have to leave him for a few days, but felt confident with leaving him in their experienced hands. Ludo loves their kids and was calm and relaxed in their care, as evidenced by the photos they shared.”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Nancy was amazing. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable leaving Maple with her, as I can tell she truly loves like her own. Maple will be back!!!”
“Johnna and her family were wonderful with my Kai. He seemed very happy and well taken care of during the week long boarding stay. She was great about providing photos and updates daily, and taking him on little adventures.”
“Galady was great! It was Zoe’s first time to meet and stay with Galady, and it was a last minute booking. After all that, Zoe had a great time and meeting new furry friends! Galady sent me updates and pictures throughout Zoe’s stay. Thank you so much Galady for saving my weekend and taking great care of my Zoe girl. I will definitely have your info in my back pocket for future visits!”
“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“Macey takes such great care of my pup, Genji. Macey and her family treat my dog as if he were theirs. Macey also has well-socialized dogs of her own that also love and take care of Genji. This includes her Husky who is about 30xs bigger than Genji. I’ve used Macey twice now and will continue to do so.”
“Greg was an exceptional host for my pups! I am very particular about who I leave my dogs with and I had a last minute need and he was there to help. He kept me more than updated and ensured my pups were exercised and loved. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a passionate caring individual to watch their pups!”
“Piper had a GREAT time with Darlene during her 1 week stay. Darlene provided multiple updates & sent the cutest pictures ever of Piper eating, playing & sleeping. After bringing Piper home she was very happy & well adjusted- absolutely no evidence of trauma or anything negative related to her stay. Darlene is the best!”

“Chong was FANTASTIC with Luna. She sent updates everyday to let me know how she was adjusting and pictures my whole family looked forward to everyday. Luna came home happy and content, I knew she had a dog friend and was well taken care of.”
“Very pleased with ease of communication, Sarah was accommodating with my lack of transportation to get my dog to their place and back to mine. Would love to have her take care of my dog again if schedules allow.”
“Ann and her husband were such great pet guardians for Angie! Ann's extensive experience with dogs and her gentle energy filled me with confidence that Angie would be in good hands. They're good people and I will happily use them again!”
“Amy and Justin are fantastic dogsitters. Right away from their meet n greet/interview you can see that they are committed to providing the best, personalize care for your pup. Lots of photos, great communication and details of the stay. Clover seemed to fit right in with their household. She even received a sweet handmade card from their oldest child that said, "I love Clover". 🥹🩷 Will definitely be booking again with them!”
