“Excellent boarding for our giant dogs! Just what we needed. No stress, no worry, great communication. We will definitely be using time and again. Thanks for an effortless service!”
“We had the pleasure of having Jillian as our dog sitter for nearly two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She provided outstanding care for our beloved Max, who seemed to have the time of his life under her watch. Jillian kept us updated with photos and videos of Max all along. Jillian's dedication to Max's well-being was evident from the start. She was attentive to his needs, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved. Her daily updates were a comforting touch that kept us connected to Max while we were away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in her work. We returned to a happy, healthy pup who had clearly formed a strong bond with Jillian. It's not just about watching over a pet; it's about creating a nurturing environment, and Jillian does this flawlessly. We highly recommend Jillian to any pet owner who wants peace of mind when they can't be with their furry family member. She's truly a gem, and Max is already looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Very kind. Great commutator. I will definitely use her again. My dog really seemed to like her stay there. Love that this Rover individual takes my dog on walks and interacts with her!”
“Easily one of the best sitters around. I never have to worry when our dog is with Emmanuel. Sends amazing updates and gives our pup all the attention and care he needs.”
“Angie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my pet in her care. She’s incredibly attentive, kind, and truly treats your fur baby like one of her own. Angie sent regular updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. My pet came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—thank you, Angie! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving.”
“I’m impressed with how well Lena was able to make Rosie feel right at home with her own pets. The pictures she sent each day showed that Rosie was having the time of her life. I highly recommend that you reach out to Lena if you need to have someone really care for your pet if you need to get away for a few days!!”
“Katie and her family were absolutely wonderful with Jasper. From the very beginning, we could tell that Jasper fit right in and felt completely comfortable with them, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Katie was incredibly kind, responsive, and thoughtful about keeping us updated regularly with photos and messages. It was very clear that Jasper was getting lots of attention, affection, and care, and that he genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and her family. We really appreciated how warm and welcoming they were with him. We would be more than happy to have Katie and her family watch Jasper again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy Rover sitter!”
“Stosh is great! My dog loves staying at his house and all the walks and play time he gets with him. It’s a bonus that my dog is so calm when I pick him up. I’m definitely booking all his stays with Stosh.”
“Lauren was a wonderful sitter for our Scarlet! She and her kids gave our girl lots of love, took her for hikes, and sent many sweet pictures. We truly enjoyed our time visiting family knowing Scarlet was in such loving hands with Lauren! We highly recommend her!”
“Auburn was absolutely fantastic in caring for our dog, Malo. She went above and beyond not only did she do an excellent job with all the tasks, but she also sent wonderful photos throughout, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We could tell Malo was relaxed and happy in her care. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Highly recommend Auburn to anyone looking for dependable, caring, and attentive dog care.”
“Our girl, Sparkles, truly enjoyed her stay with Lesley. She was treated like one of the family, had a great time playing with Lesley’s dogs, and I was sent lots of photos of Sparkles enjoying herself. :) I also loved the idea that Lesley was home most of the day so my girl didn’t have to feel nervous about staying home alone in a house she was unfamiliar with. Thanks, Lesley!”
“I found Sara to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She is very caring and loves playing with your pet. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job and your pets will love her and her family.”
“Karen and her husband were the best!! They treated Ganon like one of their own and sent numerous photos and videos where I could see Ganon having a great time! He was very happy when I went to pick him up too! Drop off and pick up was a breeze and they communicated everyday with updates. A++”
“We had a great experience with Mya! She watched our dog Ruby at her house. We got tons of pictures and communication. I felt comfortable knowing my demanding dog was getting all the snuggles she needs. Mya is clearly a dog person who will treat your pet like her own. We will definitely book again!”
“Oh my gosh, what a blessing Pat was. Our two dogs are seniors, one with high anxiety issues. We worried about them causing her trouble and after the first night we were afraid we might have to cancel our vacation. Pat assured us that they would be fine, and they were. She was patient, even cooked them chicken and rice when they got diarrhea. She sent pictures and updates on them which really relieved our minds. I cannot say enough good things about the care the dogs received and hope that she will be available the next time. I would give her 10 stars if possible.”
“Megha is wonderful! Your dog gets a comfortable, happy place to stay where they are well cared for and you get peace of mind. We were nervous about leaving our Golden Retriever for the first time. But we knew from the initial meet and greet that Bunker would be in good hands. Megha has the perfect set up in her home to care for the dogs. She is focused on safety as well as knowing their routine to keep them on their schedule as much as possible. The daily updates and pictures were reassuring that our boy was doing well and having fun! We can’t recommend Megha enough!!”
“Bryce was awesome. He kept us updated on Ace often, sending pics and videos. When Ace played a little too rough and looked as though he tweaked his leg, Bryce made sure we were notified asap and kept a close eye on Ace. We will definitely use Bryce again.”

“This was my first booking with Kye and Rover, 4 days with my 2 senior cats. Everything went smoothly and I appreciated the daily updates. The cats were shy, checked her out then hid, not unusal for them. They ate and used the litter box normally. Kye is easy to work with. I've already made my next booking with Kye, 15 days in June.”
“Molly is wonderful! She really cares about animals and it will show when she cares for your pets! She was so great with my cats and gave me detailed daily reports on how well they were doing. She's kind, caring, and very positive which is refreshing. She got my cats to really warm up to her and I have already booked her again for another trip. If you hire her, I'm sure you will be more than happy!”
“Emmanuel was amazing! After another sitter canceled last minute on us, he jumped in to help us. He was very responsive and was very kind. He did wonderful with our two cats. Would recommend to anyone!”
“They were terrific! Came into the job at the last minute while I was out of town and the house sitter I hired didn’t work out. She was attentive and caring to my two exotic cats…who were startled and stressed by the previous house sitter. She smoothed over a harrowing situation. She went above snd beyond the call of duty.”

My neighborhood is very small and safe so I can take them on plenty of walks.

“Emmanuel was an excellent pet sitter. He took the time to introduce his dogs to mine in my presence, was very attentive, and provided regular photo updates. His communication was prompt and professional, making the experience stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”

About: Hi, I’m Charity! Having had animals all my life, I truly have a deep love and respect for them. To this day, one of my most favorite jobs was my very first job in high school at a dog boarding facility a short four wheel drive through our woods. My responsibilities there were to let dogs out, love on, clean/sanitize kennels, feed and administer medications, and clean up the dog yards. I gained so much experience with different breeds while there, which made me fall more in love with dogs specifically. As an adult, my first dog was a West Highland Terrier named Gabby that my then fiancé (now husband) surprised me with. She sadly passed at 14.5 years old in October of 2024. We also have bench bred/English Labradors named Abel & Jett. Jett is the first dog I’ve had that I got involved with dog shows and sports with. He has multiple titles from obedience, dock diving, fast cat, conformation, and hunt tests. I am a stay at home mom which allows me the freedom to be available for your dog majority of the day aside from when I need to run errands. BOARDING: We have a spacious home on a culdesac with a large fenced in backyard. When caring for pets in my home, it is incredibly important to me to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while providing lots of snuggles and play time. Daily updates of how your dog is doing along with pictures are sent to help keep your mind at ease. During a client dog’s stay, they will be on the main floor with our family. We have a basement with access to the backyard complete with a dog room furnished with 3 4ft x 6ft kennels, Kuranda beds, & orthopedic beds that my personal dogs will utilize, and is available for client dogs as well if needed. I also have a baby gate on our laundry room doorway off the kitchen that can be used for client dogs to have their own private space. This allows me to ensure every dog stays safe when not supervised. *I typically only board one client at a time. This allows your dog(s) to get all the attention and, I believe, have an easier transition staying in a new place vs there being multiple dogs from different clients. If a ‘regular’ requests the same dates, I will sometimes make an exception and let both families know there will be an additional dog. With my home set up, I am able to comfortably keep several client dogs separated and will only allow interaction between them with the approval of both families. DROP INS: During drop-in visits, our time is spent going out in their backyard for potty breaks and play, going on walks, getting loved on, and fed if needed. Any quick tidying I can do in the house (vacuuming, mop up if it’s muddy outside, wipe down counters, scoop out a litter box, etc) I am happy to do as well.
“Kathy was amazing! We recently had her do daily walking for our dog Raolcan. She was communicative and professional, friendly and did a great job with Raolcan. I know he was happy to make a new friend for these last few weeks. Definitely recommend her! Thanks Kathy!”
“I was a little nervous about booking Xander’s first walk through Rover, but Madison really put my mind at ease. She was communicative, responsive, and thoughtful. She offered to bring Xander a treat for the first introduction and even sent me a picture of what she gave him. Madison made the entire process very smooth, and she demonstrated her experience with larger dogs very well. Xander had chewed up some playing cards and strung them across the floor, and she went as far as picking up after him and setting them in a neat pile out of reach! I will absolutely be requesting her services again.”

About: Hey everyone! My name is Mark and I’m a total dog lover. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I started doing house sitting and dog walking when I was 16. I also worked at a feed and seed store, so I have some knowledge on animal nutrition. I work part time at a local sober living community and do some other work from home. Most of the time, I will be available. I will check in and send you at least 2 pictures of your fur baby everyday. When I’m at your place, I will follow every guideline and rule you give me. Your dog will remain the focal point of my attention.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size. I have 2 dogs of my own. I’m available for visits and walks in the evenings in May. I’ll have week day and weekend availability in June and July. After July, I’ll be available mostly on weekends. I will follow any rules and routines you have set for your pet when visiting and walking your fur baby. I will make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. I’m happy to send photos of pets if requested.

“Excellent boarding for our giant dogs! Just what we needed. No stress, no worry, great communication. We will definitely be using time and again. Thanks for an effortless service!”
“We had the pleasure of having Jillian as our dog sitter for nearly two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She provided outstanding care for our beloved Max, who seemed to have the time of his life under her watch. Jillian kept us updated with photos and videos of Max all along. Jillian's dedication to Max's well-being was evident from the start. She was attentive to his needs, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved. Her daily updates were a comforting touch that kept us connected to Max while we were away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in her work. We returned to a happy, healthy pup who had clearly formed a strong bond with Jillian. It's not just about watching over a pet; it's about creating a nurturing environment, and Jillian does this flawlessly. We highly recommend Jillian to any pet owner who wants peace of mind when they can't be with their furry family member. She's truly a gem, and Max is already looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Easily one of the best sitters around. I never have to worry when our dog is with Emmanuel. Sends amazing updates and gives our pup all the attention and care he needs.”
“Angie is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my pet in her care. She’s incredibly attentive, kind, and truly treats your fur baby like one of her own. Angie sent regular updates and adorable photos, which made me feel so connected and reassured while I was away. My pet came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—thank you, Angie! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving.”
“Stosh is great! My dog loves staying at his house and all the walks and play time he gets with him. It’s a bonus that my dog is so calm when I pick him up. I’m definitely booking all his stays with Stosh.”
“Auburn was absolutely fantastic in caring for our dog, Malo. She went above and beyond not only did she do an excellent job with all the tasks, but she also sent wonderful photos throughout, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We could tell Malo was relaxed and happy in her care. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Highly recommend Auburn to anyone looking for dependable, caring, and attentive dog care.”
“I found Sara to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She is very caring and loves playing with your pet. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job and your pets will love her and her family.”
“Karen and her husband were the best!! They treated Ganon like one of their own and sent numerous photos and videos where I could see Ganon having a great time! He was very happy when I went to pick him up too! Drop off and pick up was a breeze and they communicated everyday with updates. A++”
“We had a great experience with Mya! She watched our dog Ruby at her house. We got tons of pictures and communication. I felt comfortable knowing my demanding dog was getting all the snuggles she needs. Mya is clearly a dog person who will treat your pet like her own. We will definitely book again!”
“Oh my gosh, what a blessing Pat was. Our two dogs are seniors, one with high anxiety issues. We worried about them causing her trouble and after the first night we were afraid we might have to cancel our vacation. Pat assured us that they would be fine, and they were. She was patient, even cooked them chicken and rice when they got diarrhea. She sent pictures and updates on them which really relieved our minds. I cannot say enough good things about the care the dogs received and hope that she will be available the next time. I would give her 10 stars if possible.”
“Megha is wonderful! Your dog gets a comfortable, happy place to stay where they are well cared for and you get peace of mind. We were nervous about leaving our Golden Retriever for the first time. But we knew from the initial meet and greet that Bunker would be in good hands. Megha has the perfect set up in her home to care for the dogs. She is focused on safety as well as knowing their routine to keep them on their schedule as much as possible. The daily updates and pictures were reassuring that our boy was doing well and having fun! We can’t recommend Megha enough!!”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, giving me a lifelong understanding of pet care across all life stages, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. I have hands-on experience caring for reactive dogs and confidently administering medication, as well as managing special feeding needs, including dogs with megaesophagus. Currently, I care for my own special needs 5 year old mixed breed “pound puppy” and a lively 2 year old Cavalier King Charles/Golden Retriever mix. When your furry family members are in my care, you can trust that they will receive the same love, patience, and personalized attention that you provide every day. I’m dipping my toes into early retirement and looking for ways to stay active and engaged. I currently do a bit of volunteer work throughout the week and have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule that allows me to focus on providing attentive and consistent care for your pets when needed. Pets staying with me have direct access to a fenced in area for quick bathroom breaks or sun-bathing. During the day, dogs have free access to roam throughout my home, allowing them to feel comfortable and at ease. At night, I accommodate each pet’s preferred sleeping arrangement—whether that’s in a crate for security or snuggling with me in my bedroom—ensuring they feel safe and loved around the clock.
“Katherine did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with photos, and welcomed him like one of the family. My dog felt very comfortable in Katherine’s warm and pet friendly home.”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Our dogs were well taken care of, walked plenty and came home happy. The communication was top notch with several pictures, videos and messages every single day making our vacation that much more peaceful with peace of mind. Our dogs were truly taken care of as if they were the sitters own and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter, I know we will book with them again.”
“Chan did a great job caring for our 4 month old puppy. The puppy absolutely loved Chan’s dog and they had a lot of fun playing in his fenced-in back yard. Made us feel good that he was having such a good time while we were away. We really appreciated that Chan was willing to take on caring for such a young puppy. Highly recommend!”
