“Patricia was just wonderful with our dogs and very attentive to their needs. She paid extra attention to my shy pup and helped her acclimate to other dogs. She brushed them and sent many pictures of them playing, having fun, and relaxing. Will definitely use her service again in the future!”

“Megan was wonderful! She watched over my pup for a week while I was visiting family, and safe to say he felt right at home with her! I will definitely be using her services again for any trips we go on!”
“Ashlie and Shiloh took wonderful care of my dog! Their dog and children were incredibly sweet, and my pup clearly loved spending time playing with them. I really appreciated the daily updates and knowing my dog was getting regular walks. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—always a great sign. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”
“My dogs had the best time with Courtney! I never felt worried about them and knew they were in good hands. She also sent plenty of pics and updates the entire time we were away! It makes me feel great to know that we have found a safe and reliable sitter and will definitely book again for future trips!”
“Koda had the most amazing stay with this wonderful family! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that they truly care for dogs and treat them as part of their family. Koda was showered with love and attention, and I could tell that she felt right at home. They made sure he was comfortable, engaged in fun activities, and even sent updates and photos throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind and was so appreciated!”
“Lori is awesome!! We mean awesome. It took some time for Winston to get settled in as he hasn’t stayed with anyone in a while. But Lori and her sons made Winston feel right at home. We’re truly thankful for Lori’s kindness and really thoughtful approach to caring for Winston. She is a blessing!!”
“Abigail did an amazing job with our Walter! It was like leaving him with family. She kept us updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures, and was always so kind in our conversations and quick to respond. I'm so happy we found her on Rover, I know Walter will be so happy to visit her again!! :)”
“MJ & Devin were the best sitters and will be our go-to sitters for anytime we are out of town. I appreciated them wanting to meet our dogs prior to booking to ensure our dogs would get along with theirs. That already showed to me how much they cared about the well-being of our dogs. They were very communicative and made sure to follow our feeding schedule and any special requests. We received photo and video updates daily, which was great to see how they were thriving. They treated our dogs like their own and we loved seeing our dogs so comfortable to lay out on their couch. We had just moved to the state a week prior and were a little worried about our dogs adjusting to another new house so quickly. MJ & Devin took such amazing care of them, that this was never an issue. Our dogs fit in so well into their household. Since we had flights leaving at 6 AM and returning at midnight, they were so flexible and great about picking up and dropping off our dogs. Highly recommend MJ & Devin! They're the best!!”
“Eileen and Mike gave our doggie individual attention and great care. She loved them, and they loved her. She was very much at home with them, and my family and I loved visiting with them too! They are just really great people! Recommend them 100%!”
“Sarah was great! She took very good care of Lucy and spoiled her. She sent pictures every day and kept me informed on how Lucy was doing. Will be booking Sarah in the future”
“Such a lovely sitter!! Sam made himself right at home and we received photos throughout his stay which was nice to know that he was enjoying his night and cuddled up in bed. Iolanta has such a sweet dobie and Sam came home and napped for hours. It was a short notice booking and Iolanta was wonderful and set up a video call to meet Sam and I. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!!”
“Leidy was absolutely amazing. The pictures were wonderful and my Winnie looked to be having a grand time with her. I was gone over a week and she couldn't have been happier.”

“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our newly sick cat. Our cat was diagnosed with gastroenteritis a week prior to us leaving on a long trip. Kaitlyn followed instructions diligently and administered all her meds which for our cat is quite the challenge. She’s great! Definitely recommend!”
About: I graduated from PIMA Medical Institute with high honors as a Veterinary Assistant and have experience working in veterinary clinics, boarding facilities, and animal rescues. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being that others may miss. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while providing personalized care. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or has special needs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away. I also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in caring and experienced hands.
About: I currently have my two baby girl cats that I have had for about 5 years, at least my first one for that long, and before having cats myself I had experience in feeding and engaging with them through jobs. I love playing with cats with their preferred toy, giving them treats, and lots of pets if they trust me to do so. I have experience in administering eye drops from when one of my baby’s had an eye infection, and experience administering medication and am comfortable doing so! Although no one loves scooping poop, I know the importance of keeping a clean litter box for cat’s health and comfort. Making sure the animals we love are taken care of is extremely gratifying, and I hope you choose me for the job!
“I am definitely a worry wort cat mom and Michelle was the first person I really felt comfortable with having check on our cat Taco. From the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with her and she did an amazing job checking in on him during drop in visits. I couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our pet and will absolutely book Michelle for any future car sitting needs. 10 out of 10 Can't say enough good things!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised around dogs and have always had a special love for animals, including the many cats who have been part of my life over the years. My experience goes beyond simply loving pets. As a teenager, I worked in a grooming environment, and later worked within multiple animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’ve also raised my own three dogs from puppies, giving me plenty of experience with everything from puppy antics to the unique needs of adult dogs. I’m also certified in dog training knowledge and behavior, so I understand that every dog is different and deserves care that fits their individual personality and comfort level. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. They’re family, and finding someone you genuinely trust with them is a big deal. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for in their own routine. Whether your pup is energetic and ready for an adventure, shy and needing some patience, or happiest curled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you—and they—can count on! I am a stay a home mom, so I am pretty much available whenever you need. Just give me a few hours notice if possible! I have a fenced in yard and pet crates if needed. I am a helicopter mom to my own personal dogs to ensure they do not get into mischief, and I am extra careful with other dogs as well.
“Riley was a very communicative and excellent sitter for my senior cat. She always sent pictures from her visits and did a wonderful job caring for my cat as well as keeping her engaged with brushing and play. I really appreciated her promptness with communication over the rover app. Would definitely recommend Riley’s care!”
About: I am a pet parent of an 8 year old Boston Terrier, a re-homed Chihuahua, a 3 years old kitty and a new kitten. Previously I raised three other Boston Terriers from puppyhood until each of their passing and a cat with FIV. I am experienced with puppies & kittens, adult dogs & cats, and senior pets as well as pets with illnesses. I have had kitty training as well as dog handling training through the Denver Dumb Friends League. I believe pets are family members and are to be treated with love and respect. Wheather your pet is at my house or I am at yours, you'll never have to worry about their well-being and will always know your pet is safe. This is my promise to you!
“Cami took WONDERFUL care of my pups when I needed a sitter check-in. She played catch with Dexter's so he was nice and pooped when I got back. She paid close attention to details and instructions and executed flawlessly. I will definitely book Cami again for my sitting needs!”
About: I have taken care of cats for a good portion of my life. Available in home only. I am great with kitty cats and give them the love they need while you’re away. Trusted & experienced cat care.
About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask. I have a dog and cat of my own, your pup will be treated like they are part of the family. The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.

About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own now for 8 years. Dogs are an important part of my life and I enjoy them so much. I did dog walking with Wag for about a year while I lived in Denver, I had several repeat customers who enjoyed my services. I am careful with weather, environment, and triggers for each dog. Playtime or walks are something I find very important and I ensure happens to keep them exercised and healthy. I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the week and evenings. My weekends are wide open to care for your pet so you can getaway on your trips! Let your pawed friends enjoy the freedom of the country without the hustle and bustle of the city! I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the daytime during weekdays. My weekends and evenings are wide open to care for your pet. I have a fenced yard for dogs to freely roam and go potty. There are nice shady trees if they enjoy lounging outside and plenty of new smells to explore. There are sticks available if your dog is a stick lover (please inform if this is not allowed.) My home has AC to keep pets cool and give shelter from summer heat. Dog water is RO filtered and pure. I can ensure there are multiple water dishes to ensure there is always water available. Potty time is always available. Walks around the neighborhood are leashed. There are no unexpected encounters with off-leash dogs on walks, the occasional neighbor dog barking from the distance. My home has distance from the next neighbor with pets. My "caged pets" that is shown on my profile is a 70 gallon saltwater aquarium with fish and corals. Should not be an issue with any pets. Some might even be curious to watch them moving around.
“Chayna and Jacob were super wonderful with my little buddy! Every day he came back happy and tired from all the walks. I could have asked for a better situation for Zuko! We are so happy we found Chayna & Jacob, working on fort Benning made the pick up and drop off seamless :)”
About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
“Ashlie and Shiloh are awesome! Pomni had such a great time playing all day, they sent lots of pictures and communicated with us about everything! Really appreciate knowing Pomni had a good day while I was away!😊”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lori! She was absolutely amazing with my senior pup, Trudy. From the start, I felt completely at ease knowing Trudy was in such caring and capable hands. She sent me thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay (without me even needing to ask) which gave me so much peace of mind. Trudy looked so comfortable and well-loved in every update. It’s clear she truly cares for the dogs she watches, and I’m beyond grateful for the attention and compassion she gave to my girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving sitter!”
“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 8 years old. My family had rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, and various other caged creatures. I have recently have the joy of a new puppy in my life that I am in the process of training to provide emotional therapy to children and adults. I am a disabled veteran entrepreneur that provides me with the opportunity to be available 7 days a week. Since getting my puppy my life revolves around pet care. I have a puppy and my roommates have her brother and a collie. All three love having friends over to play with. lf I'm coming to your house I can bring my pup for socialization or not it's totally up to you. Either way they are going to get great care and attention.
“Jennifer provided excellent doggy daycare for our 6 month old puppy. Our pup was excited to go each day, which shows she had a great time. Jennifer had great communication and provided frequent updates. Overall, she made me feel so comfortable, and we will be using her again in the future.”
“Carrie and her husband did such a great job with our dogs. They were both exhausted and very content when I picked them up and provided great photos of their day together.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. Here is a recent review mine of my clients wasn’t able to put in my reviews Survey submitted Rating: 1 - Not at all, I felt unheard or frustrated Anything else we should know?: Look No Further Than Paula — We Found More Than a Pet Sitter! ❤️🐾 Finding someone you can completely trust to care for your pets while you’re away for two weeks can be stressful. We were incredibly fortunate to find Paula in Peyton, CO. From the very first moment we met Paula at her home for our meet-and-greet, our anxiety and worries began to disappear. What stood out immediately was how comfortable our two pets were around Paula, in her home, and even with her grandchildren. They seemed to settle in as though they had known her forever. That gave us a sense of reassurance that is difficult to put into words. While we were on our trip, Paula sent us pictures every single day. Those pictures meant so much to us because we could see for ourselves that our pets were happy, relaxed, and being genuinely cared for. It wasn’t simply someone feeding them and keeping an eye on them—Paula truly bonded with them and treated them as her own. Even after we returned home, Paula continued to check in and ask how our dogs were doing. That told us everything we needed to know about the kind of person she is and the genuine connection she made with our pets. Honestly, it felt less like leaving our pets with someone we found on an internet site and more like having a family member take care of them. We didn’t just find a pet sitter—we found someone we trust, someone our pets love, and, more importantly, we feel like we’ve gained a new member of our family. If you’re considering Paula, look no further! We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with love, patience, kindness, and genuine care, Paula is that person. Paula, thank you for giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our two furry family members were safe, happy, and loved. We are so grateful we found you! ❤️🐾 Five stars doesn’t seem like enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard with locked gates and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. Our yard is small so not much room for larger dogs to run. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We only host one family at a time so your babies get all our attention.
“Tyffanie did a great job with my Dalmatian puppy. He’s a little hyper and I was extremely nervous to drop him off but I got so many cute photos and updates from her throughout the day! He came home so tired he immediately fell asleep and seemed worn out from all the attention he received! So happy to have found her and will be using her for all my puppy’s daycare needs!”
About: I work from home with two friendly pups who love new friends! We’ve got a fenced yard, daily walks, and frequent dog park trips. Pup cups are a must in our routine. Your dog will feel right at home here! My life basically runs on dog time! Working remotely means I’m always around for walks, play breaks, and pup cup runs. My two dogs love having a buddy to join our daily adventures. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it is my schedule! In my home, dogs are treated like family! I keep a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, walks, and downtime. Since my own dogs are crate trained at night, I ask that visiting pups bring a crate too for bedtime comfort and safety. I also prefer dogs who are housebroken, enjoy walks, and are good on a leash. To make sure everyone gets along, I like to schedule a quick meet-and-greet so your pup can meet my two friendly dogs before their stay. With a fully fenced backyard, your pup will have a safe space to play and relax.
“Lisa is kind, thoughtful and takes extra special care of the pups she watches. Cooper had a wonderful time playing with her pup and came home exhausted. Thank you, Lisa.”
“I couldn't be more pleased with Silvana's care for my 12-month-old puppy. From the moment he arrived, she showered him with attention, sending heartwarming pictures, ensuring he had enriching walks, and making sure he was well-fed. I spent the day worry-free, knowing my furry friend was in excellent hands. Silvana's genuine love for animals shines through, and we look forward to continuing to entrust her with our pup's care. A solid 5-star experience!”
“Michelle is amazing! She welcomed us enthusiastically with very little notice ( the night before needing care when we were in a bind). Michelle arranged a met n greet right away, and although our pup was shy with Michelle at first, our pup came away from doggy daycare with new forever friends! Michelle made our pup feel like she was a well-loved little queen! If Michelle is willing to work with us in the future, we plan to have her caring for our pets regularly. I told Michelle that she is a gem! And she is just that - a rare gem and a kind soul! Michelle cares for her clients pets as if they are her own. Highly recommend Michelle!”

“Dixie agreed to a last minute booking to walk Winston for a few days. He can be a bit nervous around new people, but he warmed up right away. Dixie was reliable and asked questions to make sure she was prepared for any quirks Winston might have on walks I was so relieved to know he was taken care of while I was away from home. I would highly recommend Dixie!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have cared for both male and female pups since they were tiny puppies. I handle every part of their care — daily feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and regular vet visits. My dog have always been part of the family, so I know how important it is to find someone who’ll love and care for them like you do. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with their routines, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m home most of the day since I’m a stay-at-home mom. My 2½-year-old son goes to daycare five days a week, and my husband works from home — so there’s always someone around to give your pup attention and company. Our schedule is flexible, and caring for pets easily fits into our daily routine. Whether that’s boarding them at my home, doing short drop-in visits to feed and check on them, or offering quick potty breaks and playtime. Your pet will always be safe, loved, and never left alone for long. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. At home, I have a sweet 6-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who’s gentle and friendly with other small dogs. We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks for walks and we’re close to a dog park for extra playtime. Our yard is fully fenced, so dogs can run and explore safely under supervision. Inside, pets have a clean, cozy space to relax, and there’s a gate at the stairs to keep everyone safe and contained when needed. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routines — feeding times, walks, and play — so their pup feels comfortable and secure. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
About: My name is Sonia! I have been dog sitting and walking since 2015 and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I truly love spending time with dogs and enjoy everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to long, adventurous hikes and energetic play sessions. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have two dogs of my own: Blossom, my sweet long-haired miniature Dachshund, and Cactus, my playful black Goldendoodle. They have given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable caring for both high- and low-energy dogs and am happy to tailor walks and activities to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup prefers a short stroll, a long walk, a hike, or simply some playtime and companionship, I’m happy to accommodate them. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, feeding schedules, exercise routines, and other special requests. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m available all day, every day for the next six weeks! Beginning in late September, I’ll be available weekdays after 2:00 PM and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide plenty of flexibility for your pet’s needs. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or routines your pet has. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home with your pets, so I’ll treat both your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve loved taking care of friends and families animals since I was a child, and have always felt honored when entrusted to do so. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats in pill form and also eye drop medication, some minor experience in training dogs (would just need clarification on their command words), love giving them all the cuddles and scritches and pets they want, and helping them get out those zoomies! Whether your need is drop in check ins for food replenishment and company, outings like walks or dogs parks, or transportation to appointments, I can do it all! Dependable animal care is so important to be able to relax on vacation or to focus when taking care of important business, and I hope you choose me to make it easier for both you and your furry friends!! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time dedicated to your pets! My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to work with you for the times that suit you best! I know the importance of keeping a close eye on pets and keeping them on leash unless in the dedicated areas of the home and a fenced in yard! I will also have a plan of care in place in case of emergencies, with location on carriers and crates, and the emergency vet clinic of your choice! Your babies will be safe and cared for with me, and this plan ensures that I can get them emergency care should a medical emergency happen!
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages. I have three dogs of my own—two that are a year old or younger and one senior dog—so I’m comfortable meeting the different needs that come with each stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, training reinforcement, and lots of exercise to senior dogs who require a gentler pace and extra attention, I understand how to provide the right care. I walk my dogs every morning, so regular exercise and maintaining a consistent routine are already a part of my daily life. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m currently a college student and attend classes three days a week, which leaves me available in the afternoons. On my days off, I enjoy taking my three dogs to the park or on long walks to keep them active, happy, and mentally stimulated. Caring for my own dogs every day has made pet care a regular part of my lifestyle. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, feeding, companionship, or extra attention, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits their routine and helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, fresh water, and lots of affection. Since I have three friendly dogs of my own, I always make sure introductions are done carefully and that every pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is to give pets a stress-free experience where they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

About: I recently lost my dog Atlas on Sept 2023 to cancer. I’m not able to or ready for another pet of my own yet, but I’d love to help you with yours! I like to help people meet their pets needs such as exercise, potty breaks, and feeding them. When my dog was a puppy, I had to provide a lot or work from home to meet his needs. I wish I had some help at the time. I know how hard it can be as well having an older dog with bladder problems that need frequent potty breaks, and making sure they take whatever medication they need to. I know all the tricks to get them to take their medications. I also love cats and can petsit them as well. I look forward to meeting your furry animals! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I work 9-6pm and work from home. If I'm able to work from home at your house while watching your animals, that would be great. I'm able to keep an eye on your dog for potty breaks and walks when I'm working from home because it's super convenient. And my weekends are generally free and flexible! I can assist with whatever you need, frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding. I'm not able to provide services at my place since I'm renting, but can assist by watching your dog in your home if need be!

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”

I'm so happy we found her on Rover, I know Walter will be so happy to visit her again!! :)”
“MJ & Devin were the best sitters and will be our go-to sitters for anytime we are out of town. I appreciated them wanting to meet our dogs prior to booking to ensure our dogs would get along with theirs. That already showed to me how much they cared about the well-being of our dogs. They were very communicative and made sure to follow our feeding schedule and any special requests. We received photo and video updates daily, which was great to see how they were thriving. They treated our dogs like their own and we loved seeing our dogs so comfortable to lay out on their couch. We had just moved to the state a week prior and were a little worried about our dogs adjusting to another new house so quickly. MJ & Devin took such amazing care of them, that this was never an issue. Our dogs fit in so well into their household. Since we had flights leaving at 6 AM and returning at midnight, they were so flexible and great about picking up and dropping off our dogs. Highly recommend MJ & Devin! They're the best!!”

Iolanta has such a sweet dobie and Sam came home and napped for hours. It was a short notice booking and Iolanta was wonderful and set up a video call to meet Sam and I. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!!”
