“Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎”
“Excellent stay and care for Sweetie 💕 Beth was amazing and very friendly, responsive and took great care of my pup. Additional perk, Sweetie found a new BFF. 100 % recommend”
“Our dogs Piper and Tucker loved their stay with Thelma. We had a great pre-meeting, Thelma asked thoughtful questions for their care. We appreciated knowing our dogs were in good hands while on vacation.”
“I was worried about boarding my anxious dachshund for 9 days at a kennel so I brought him to Cyndee. It was obvious that he had a relaxing stay at her calm and cozy home. Thank you Cyndee”
“If I could give Morgan 10 stars, I would. We had holiday travel that had us away for 10 days. We found Morgan as an alternative to your standard pet resort. We knew we wanted the one on one experience for our yellow lab. Morgan provided that and then some. She goes above and beyond to make sure all the animals in her care feel like they’re at home. With daily photos and updates, we felt like we were right there in the action! This was our first visit with Morgan but most certainly won’t be our last!”
“Lori always takes such great care of our pups. She is great at communicating and sending pictures. She definitely treats them like her own. We highly recommend her and will continue using her for dog sitting!”
“Our Yorkie Jack had a great 1st Visit with Charlotte. We received daily pictures and updates and when we returned he looked very happy and well cared for. Will use her again for sure.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with them over the holidays. I received great communication and beautiful pictures. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend!”
“My dog Chip just had his second stay with James. He immediately got excited when we arrived and was excited to go inside. That’s all the reassurance I needed. My pup is happy arriving and upon pick up. Thanks for caring for my sweet boy!”
“Stephanie and Elisabeth were awesome. They sent to us news and pictures each and every day. They took care of our fur baby like pros ! We will certainly return back to them for our next vacation.”
“Merve was absolutely wonderful with our dog — hands down the best experience we’ve had with a sitter. She was always prompt with her communications, took the time to understand all the unique things our dog needs for care, and was super warm and caring for our dog. Plus, she consistently proactively provided picture and video updates so we knew all was good. Would highly recommend Merve!”
“Our little dog, Miss JJ had a wonderful time with Nancy! Nancy sent us photos and emails during our travels, and we loved hearing from her. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Tara is a saint! I don’t know what I’d do without her! She’s watched my 2 doodles several times, but this time she literally came and picked them up spur of the moment when I was sick! Shes the best and a life saver”
“Cindy and Steve were the best hosts we could have asked for our pup. The yard is perfect with lots of room to run around, and we got timely updates on Ruger's status including photos and videos. I would definitely go back to them in future.”
“Viktoryia was flexible and accommodating with our tight travel schedule and kept us updated with plenty of photos while we were away. Finn looked happy and well cared for. Thank you!”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for my 1 year old Cockapoo. I was a little nervous about finding a sitter when we moved in September. Thanks to Rover and Linda I found a way to be comfortable about leaving my baby. After having a meet and greet with Linda, I was sure that I found the right person. I was happy when she advised me during the day and sent cute pictures. It made my weekend away so much better knowing my puppy was well taken care of.”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“It was a pleasure working with Crysta. Terrific communication throughout the booking and stay. We would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. Our dog was relaxed and enjoyed the stay. Thanks again…”
“Nicole and her family were wonderful with my pug and French bulldog! They are a true dog family and Nicole has prior dog experience that was very helpful in terms of gauging behavior, interaction with other dogs, and any individual needs. They gave them lots of playtime as well as breaks/rest, asked good questions, and shared photos & videos. Nicole has a large fenced-in yard that my dogs loved tearing around in. Their family also were able to help on short notice when I had a family emergency out-of-state, which made a huge difference. Thank you SO much for caring for my pups!”

“Rebeca took such good care of Didi that I've already booked her for my next out-of-town trip. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she sent. Didi obviously liked her. Rebeca went over and above what I expected, so I trust her with my feline sidekick.”
“We had a very difficult time leaving our 3 cats to a stranger but Kim put our fears to rest. We met with her several days before our trip and she spent almost an hour at our home going through every detail about our cats and taking notes. We plan on continuing to have Kim cat sit on a regular basis because she is very caring, conscientious and loving to our fur family.”

“Jill was amazing and so attentive to our kitties. She was very thorough in explaining her visits step by step via text & pictures. I felt confident the whole time that our cats were taken care of and safe. Jill even went above and beyond and watered our flowers for us. She is very responsive and on time with her visits. I plan to book with Jill again for future visits and can’t recommend her enough to take care of your pets!”

We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Hudson had such a great time with Sidney and her crew! Hudson enjoyed playing with her other dogs and you can tell Sidney cares a lot for the dogs she takes on! Sidney was kind and responsive, and was very flexible with a short notice booking. We will definitely be re-booking for daycare in the future 😊”
“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”
“I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to have someone to take Ziggy on days when I have long work hours. He loves Jennifer and gets excited as soon as I pull into her driveway.”
“This was my first time booking with Stephanie. I am visiting from out of town. She kept my 2 Cavaliers for the day and all went very well. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day. They got outside time in the big fenced back yard and they were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I was very satisfied and will book again.”
“Thank you Audrey and Carson!! I know Mia had the best day (she’s currently out cold on the couch) It was a super last minute reservation and they were more than accommodating and answered very quickly. Thank you too!”

“Betsy watched our dog, who has separation anxiety, so we could attend a baby shower. Since we don’t live in the area, we really appreciated how accommodating and responsive she was throughout the whole process. When we picked our dog up, she was very calm and comfortable, which gave us great peace of mind. Betsy is very sweet and attentive, we would definitely recommend her!”

About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
“Joshua stepped right in and did a wonderful job with Gus. He walked him everyday at the park and all the neighbors mentioned what a great guy he is and seemed to really enjoy Gus. Will definitely rebook.”
“Jewell is an amazing dog walker. She arrived early to meet Nauni which was very thoughtful. Nauni was very happy when she returned from her walk with Jewell. I will use Jewell again.”
About: I volunteered at the Humane Society and have experience caring for animals in my own home. I have also helped lost and stray animals by reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving new homes. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Its a blessing to have a soft heart for animals since a little girl My availability is very open & flexible as i am currently doing online school studying Int Arch with a passion to love and provide a safe space for all pets. I am part of the worship team therefore unavailable on, Sunday 9AM-3PM, Tuesday & Thursdays 7-11PM. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs and routine. My priority is making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will keep your pet fed, provide fresh water, offer plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any special instructions you provide. I have two dogs with opposite personalities, so chances are your pup will find a friend they feel comfortable around! Introductions would always be done carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe- i also have an extra room available if any pet needs their own quiet space or a slow introduction. My cats are independent and enjoy sunbathing outside. Throughout the day, they come inside to eat, sleep, and play. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, your pet's comfort and safety will always come first.

Walking the pets, giving them all the kisses and cuddles they want, making sure they have play time, giving them fresh water and food as well if needed.
“Seth was an amazing caregiver for my dog. He walked my terrier mix Gracie several days in a row while I was out for the day with visitors. His service went beyond my expectations. From coaxing Gracie out from under the bed on the first day to getting her to walk over 2 miles by the end of the week. He would also spend time after each walk to bond with her. His love of animals really shows in the care he provided my dog. Seth also makes full use of the Rover app to communicate start and stop times and the route they took. He would enter a progress report and sent several pictures after each walk. I really felt at ease with Seth in my home and will use him when I need a sitter. He’s very conscientious about his job. I highly recommend Seth for all your pet care needs.”

I am extremely grateful I found her and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for stability, reassurance and great communication while you’re away from your pup! 🐶”

I recommend Dr. Hope and will probably reserve with her again in the future!”
