“Very responsive and accommodating! Appreciated that she took the time to do a meet & greet beforehand so that I could make sure my dog would feel comfortable with her dogs. Sent lots of pictures and my little guy looked like he was being very well taken care of with lots of love, cuddles, and walks!”
“Amanda was great! She took my very energetic and sometimes anxious puppy over a holiday weekend with very short notice and he did amazing with her. She sent pictures and updates and spoiled him! We will definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Jamie is such a GOLD/DIAMOND STAR sitter. I messaged her at 9PM about an emergency pick up because my current dog sitter was not taking a good care of my dog when I was out of town. We never work with each other before but she was so responsive and was ready to pick my dog up at 9AM the next day! Less than 12 hours of notice! She gave multiple updates with pictures and video throughout the day. I feel bad sometimes because I don’t even response to them as much as she send them! She asked for dietary restrictions, patient with my dog when she first met him. She even gave him food topper from her own! He is eating better than when he is with me! When I have a delay to return, she make sure that my dog is actually being put in a good hand and not with the old dog sitter who did not treat him right. I feel so safe to have my baby in her care because she has such a great heart. I would 100% work with Jamie again! Her price is so affordable for the quality of care that she provides!”
“Sana is amazing. She took marvelous care of my cat Lucy. Lucy is very aloof however she allowed Sana to pet her when they first met. Sana was also very conscientious about giving Lucy her medication Sana also sent frequent pictures and updates. Lucy fell in love with Sana. I plan on using her again for my next trip.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Our dogs have only been left with friends and family before. Steve was absolutely AMAZING with our two little dogs. He was very cognizant of their needs and showed them patience and kindness as they warmed up to him. The moment I dropped them off I walked away with a true sense of peace and never worried once about them while they were in his care. He sent many photos and updates each day through out their stay, including each morning with an update of how their night went. Typically when we leave them with others, family and friends they know, they won’t eat for the first day or two, but with Steve they both ate right away, which let me know they felt comfortable. I highly recommend Steve and without a doubt will book with him again.”
“Ashley was very accommodating with my drop off and pick up times. She was confident with my dogs and they loved her. They were exhausted when they got home which was great. She has a large backyard and I would use her again.”
About: Currently dog sit for a friend when their family goes out of town that has lead my son and I into enjoying taking care of dogs. We enjoy their company, snuggles and companionship. Currently working part time hours so I am home often along with being home every night and on weekends which allows your fur baby to not be alone for long periods of time. Have a front yard easily accessible to use with a lead and a big fenced in back yard for running around, playing fetch or relaxing in the sun.
“Kat was a wonderful, caring sitter for our dog. She was very attentive to our requests, sent lots of pictures, and spent lots of time with our dog. It was obvious on picking up our dog that she enjoyed her stay with Kat.”
“Caitlin and family took great care of our two French bulldogs at her home while we were away on a family vacation. She was very patient and accommodating with the needs of our pups and helped them transition to being in a new environment. I received daily photos and videos of Buddy and Rocky on how they were doing. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that was given to our pups and will be using Caitlin for future family trips. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for a caring, dependable and knowledgeable person to care for their pets.”
“Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!”
“Eric was great with our girls! They were so happy and had such a good time while we were gone! Also 10 stars for his flexibility for drop off/pick up! It was a huge help when our flights were delayed coming back home! Will definitely be a repeating client!”
“We think Erin is great and would book again. It’s nice knowing you can leave town and your pet is well taken care of. Erin sent us pictures of Winston while we were away and that was so nice because we sure missed our boy! When we got home Winston got to play with other pups and he loves that, I think he was sad he had to come home.”
“Left my 3 dogs with him and can say It went great! I got daily updates and felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, I would definitely board again! Thank you So Much, Nathan!”
“Emily did an excellent job watching our two dogs! We needed someone last minute and she certainly delivered. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

Susan’s husband Mark is also very good and a dog lover . My dog had a lot of fun with her dogs . I highly recommend her . She took really good care of my dog for the week he stayed .”

“Sage was a wonderful sitter! She was attentive to our pets and took care of playing, feeding and their litter boxes and other accidents. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail, moving objects out of kitty reach and bonding with our animals by holding them and playing with them. She kept us updated daily with detailed notes and pictures. We would definitely have her watch our kitties again and would highly recommend to others! Thank you so much!”

About: I've taken care of dogs specifically since I was like 5. Whether it was a friend's dog, a family members or my own. Cats I have taken care of since I was 8. Changing litter? Done. Walking dogs? Done. Training? I do that too! I actually trained my own service dog who has since retired. Feed and water? Of course! Gotta get the essentials. Following directions, I will follow how YOU want your pet(s) taken care of. I have dealt with chihuahuas to great Danes to dogs bigger than that! No animal is too small. I will pick up messes, play with them, train them if you want, and obviously feed and water them. I can even stay over night with a pet if needed! I know some pets need extra support when their humans are a away, and I understand that may mean me staying over night. I have two dogs and two cats. I take care of the two dogs on a daily basis. Cats? Not so much but I do help out when asked as they are not actually mine but my roommates. I take my dogs out at LEAST 3 times a day typically more in warmer weather. But I take them out at least once when I wake up, once after or before lunch, and once before bed after they've ate their dinner. My dogs have stomach issues and only eat once a day near dinner time for me. I get them out more often to play now that its warming up outside In my clients home, as I don't do boarding at my own home, I can bring my own dog if asked for a play buddy but I would like a copy or to see the vaccination records to be safe. I will make sure the animals get some time to play and have plenty of attention while I am there. I will make sure dogs get outside to potty on either the specified schedule from my client or on a schedule I am able to run, but they will get out as much as I can make happen. Cats I'll make sure get some play time, if you're the kind of cat person who let's their cat out on a catio or leash or trust your cat out on its own for a bit I can make those happen too. I will make sure they have fresh litter when needed/requested. I will make sure both cats and dogs have fresh water and food on a schedule determined by the owner or when its needing refilled/changed.

“I’m so grateful I tried Rover and found Ashley! When Ashley came over for a meet and greet, Jasmine immediately loved her! She is so kind, loving, and a personable. Ashley took the time to get to know Jasmine and asked great clarifying questions. I absolutely loved receiving sweet updates and photos when I was gone! I was not worried the entirety of my trip because I knew she had it covered!! Ashley was even sweet enough to clean, wash the bedding, and vacuum without being asked. Ashley’s genuine love for animals and her strong communication skills make her the perfect sitter! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so thankful for her and will absolutely book her again!!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Danielle and I can't wait to meet your four-legged fur-baby. :) I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. Plenty of feline experience too! If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), and visiting nature trails are my jam. If your dog is less active, I can bring my activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I work full-time from home, but I have a flexible schedule to care for the needs of your feline or canine. For any scheduling concerns, reach out and let’s start a conversation. I live in a farmhouse with a few acres of land, so I offer lots of running around and play time and I always keep the water bowl full. My main priority is a happy and healthy pet for the duration of care while maintaining your peace of mind with plenty of updates and pictures. If I sound like a good fit for your fur-baby, I'd love the chance to meet y'all! Please note, I only board one family's pet(s) at a time unless discussed otherwise.

About: Dog sitting is more than potty breaks and bowls of kibble, it's loving an animal like they're your own, and I'm the best at what I do! I've had dogs all my life, and in addition to personal pet care I've worked in the pet business from the very beginning of my career. I've got a background in the veterinary world as well as a tour through the doggy boarding, daycare, and even training! I've done all the training and certifications to make me the very best in the industry! I understand the needs and behaviors of different dogs and can provide appropriate care based on their age, breed, and individual personality. I've got you covered down the very last detail! Your furry friend needs medication? I'm certified to administer everything from pills to insulin shots! Specialty diet? I'm minding every detail! Working with me is giving your dog a best friend who cares about them, from the tip of their nose to the top of their tail! I'm a stay at home wife, so I'm available all day every day to give your animal all the attention in the world! When you book with me you get the best of the best! If I'm in your home I'm a well mannered guest, I make the bed, do the dishes, and take out the trash. I leave it how you left it, my goal is for you to question if I was even there! When in my own home your animals have the run of our home during the day and a comfortable bed at night! I have two well socialized, well trained, pups who love to play but know when to settle and relax. We do kennel our dogs for their own comfort as they get restless when alone, but I offer a kennel free boarding experience!
