“As a helicopter puppy mom I couldn’t recommend Athena and Richi enough! They are absolutely amazing and kept me at ease my pets entire stay. I got plenty of picture and video updates which I loved! They seemed to be enjoying exploring the yard and their other sleep over buddies. My pups seemed relaxed and happy when I picked them up. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future. 😌 thank you so much for treating my babies like your own and giving them tons of love.”
“Matt is very understanding, communicative and flexible. He sent me photos even though it was a one night stay! He was perfectly fine with my dog's crate and accessories. He makes sure all the dogs get along. My boxer, Felice came back a happy boy after playing with some new friends. Felice was well cared for and I recommend Matt.”
“Janet was so accommodating to dog sit my westie at the last minute during the holidays. She communicated everyday with the cutest videos. She fed him some yummy healthy soup. Jake was a happy boy! Thanks for your wonderful care Janet!”
“Clary is a wonderful and responsive sitter! She met with me before to make sure I was comfortable leaving my dog with her. During the stay, she gave plenty of updates and Kobe had loads of fun. He came back with plenty of smiles. I would recommend Clary and will be using her again in the future!”
“Did an amazing job! I trusted them fully and had no worries while I was gone on vacation. They sent me pictures every day of him playing and kept me updated daily. He enjoyed every second of his stay.”
“Our girl Lisa had a great time with Trevor. We had a meet and greet and the place was very clean. He's a great sitter. Trevor sent us frequent updates with pictures Lisa having a fun time, which put us at ease during our trip. He took very good care of Lisa and we'll definitely book him again next time”

“Jennifer was exactly what we were looking for to take care of our little pomsky. She did an awesome job. I received many pics and videos which made being away from our puppy bearable. She has a great love for animals and you can tell by how well her own dogs are taken care of. Thank you thank you!!❤️”
“Mr Keith was great with my Italy Belle. I was terrified when I first left her because it was our first time being apart. But Keith put my mind as ease sending me pictures everyday of my baby. She made new friends and got to play! He made sure she was well taken care of. I would definitely use his services again!”
“They are awesome. We went on a 7 day cruise and they sent 2 pictures a day of our dog. I could not have asked for better guardians than Janell and Jeffry.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Anne. She recently took care of my dog, Lola, and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. From the start, communication was excellent — I always felt updated and reassured with pictures and messages about how Lola was doing. It was clear that Anne genuinely loves dogs. Lola immediately felt comfortable and safe, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and I came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time I need someone to take care of Lola.”
“Marisa and Bob and Goldie are awesome!! They took such good care of Otis. Otis and Goldie are both Pugs and they had a blast together. Otis enjoyed them all so much, I think he may have wanted to stay lol. We will definitely have repeat stays!! 🐶”
“We just completed our second boarding with Samantha and her family, and once again they were absolutely wonderful with Milo. Samantha is genuinely caring and has such a special way with pets. Milo celebrated his 6th birthday on 11/28, and it meant so much to receive photos of him enjoying a birthday treat with his furry friends. Samantha’s daughter even made an embroidered birthday cone with “6” on it just for Milo — such a thoughtful and unforgettable touch. Seeing how happy he was truly warmed our hearts. We are so grateful for the love and care they always give him. Thank you, Samantha and family! 🐾💛”
“This was the 1st time using Rover and it was a last minute booking, Cristina was in constant contact with us answering all of our questions. When we dropped off our puppy we knew right away he would be in the perfect hands, and her house was immaculate as well! She sent us pictures and videos during his stay, he was well entertained and exposed to new things! When we returned to pick up our puppy she said she taught him a couple of things, LOVED that!!! We will definitely be using Cristina again in the future.”
“Heather took the best of care of our little old man and even went out of her way to help us with drop off and met us at a convenient location! She kept us up to date with pictures and updates. We will definitely have her watch our pup again!”
“This is the 2nd time I have had Donna care for my pup. She communicates throughout the day and sends lots of pictures. My Finn always has a great time with Donna and she takes great care of him. He always comes home happy!!! Will definitely book with Donna again.”

“Nikki was so awesome! She met our cat a few days before we left for our trip, and I think that was really helpful. She sent great pictures of our cat while we were gone and we enjoyed the daily updates. I would 100% hire her again! Excellent service.”
“Lori has been so good with our 15 yr old kitty!! She’s loves and plays with him making sure he feels safe and loved on. This is our first time using Rover and Lori is truly a gem!!!”
“Emily was great from the start. She was professional and her attention to details made me confident I was leaving my cat with someone who truly cares for animals. 10/10 recommend.”
“We have never left our cats alone before to go on a trip, so leaving them was a bit anxiety inducting at first. We found Christy on Rover and she came over to meet us and the cats. Our skiddish cat who is afraid of anyone who isn’t us immediately warmed up to Christy and let her pet him. While we were away, Christy checked in regularly, communicated with us, sent pictures, and spent a good amount of time just playing with them and petting them which really went above and beyond. She is incredibly trustworthy and great to work with (and my cats love her!). I wouldn’t use anyone else but Christy when we go away now. Thank you so much, Christy for all you did for them!!! HIGHLY recommended!!”
“Bianca took amazing care of my cat Lucy while I was away. She spent time sitting with her on the patio so Lucy could watch the birds and turtles, and she sent me tons of adorable pictures and updates. I could tell Lucy was happy and comfortable, and it made being away so much easier. I’d absolutely trust Bianca to watch her again!”
“Victoria is always amazing to work with! She takes such great care of my cat and is very communicative. She’s the first person I reach out to when I’m heading out of town”
“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”
“Anastasiia's quick response for a last minute booking helped us feel at ease leaving for our trip out of state. She warmed up to our friendly cat easily and provided pictures daily of them playing. We will definitely be calling her again. Thank you for loving on Lucille!”
“We needed a last minute sitter and Caitlyn was available and super flexible! She was easy to work with and followed our instructions, and even brought in an Amazon package (: I would recommend her to anyone looking for a drop in sitter.”
“Trinity was the absolute best! She was timely for our cat visits and left the place looking perfect! Her communication was very much appreciated and she not only was prompt to notify with any questions or concerns but also left cute pictures daily to look at. My cats seemed to love her and I will definitely use her again for any sitting needs as well as highly recommended her to friends and family. Thank you Trinity for making my week away a breeze!”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She has such amazing experience working with cats. My cat, Luna, had gotten a cut on her paw and I had to rush her to the vet before I left for vacation. Jennifer made sure to pay special attention to Luna to make sure she wasn’t limping or hurt. My cats were a little shy around her at first but they warmed up to her. I’ll absolutely hire Jennifer again!”
“To start off, Ashley was wonderful! She provided multiple photos every day and made sure to give our cats attention when she went by. She is very communicative and diligent. I highly recommend.”
“Erin was great with my boy! She was super attentive to and provided updates throughout our time away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care for their dog while they’re away from home.”

About: I have over a year of hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, along with 5 years experience dog walking and pet sitting for clients. Working with animals every day taught me how to handle different temperaments and energy levels while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable and familiar with administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and keeping up with specific routines and care needs. Whether your pet enjoys lots of playtime and walks or prefers a calmer environment and quiet attention, I always try to make sure they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I make it a priority to provide dependable care, updates (photos and videos included), and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their babies are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have consistent experience working around dogs and structured care environments. I’m generally flexible throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule based on a pet’s needs. I’m used to early mornings, midday check-ins, and evening care routines from my time working at a doggy daycare, so I’m able to stay consistent with feeding, walks, and medication schedules. I prioritize reliability, so once I commit to a booking, I make sure I’m fully available and on time for every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions exactly as given to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks and that pets are supervised at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond quickly if anything seems off or if they need extra reassurance. I also keep the environment calm, clean, and stress free, and I respect the client’s home by leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and make sure owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.
“Kallie, was great and able to cater to all our animal’s needs. She was able to deal with the chaos of multiple dogs, different foods, and different walking schedules. We were so thankful to find someone who was flexible with our schedule and allow our pets to remain in their own home where they feel comfortable. Kallie spent time with each individual pet…above and beyond service!”

I also understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I make it a priority to be dependable and keep their routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, medications, and any special treatments they may need. 🐾 I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them with the same care I would want someone to show my own home.
