“Jenny took such good care of my reactive dog! She was patient and understanding, and knew what to do to get my dog to warm up to her. She also sent a nice amount of photos and updates which I sincerely appreciated!”
“Shaun and Katie are fantastic! Their family played with and loved on my pup while I was away and sent me photos and videos. She had so much fun playing on their farm that it was like she was on her own vacation! Knowing she was being taken such good care of allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more. I’ve already rebooked them twice for this summer.”
“Deirdre was absolutely amazing. She sent many pictures and updates. After meeting her I felt completely comfortable and at ease leaving my Fur baby with her. Definitely recommend working with her!”
“Our experience with Rachel was wonderful! She sent us regular updates, pictures and videos. Our Gracie girl was spoiled! Hoping we can book with again in the future!”
“Angie was a LIFESAVER with our 7 and 3 year old lab and frenchton girls over Christmas! We had a meet and greet to discuss needs and concerns after initial booking inquiry and Angie was so optimistic about the stay at her home. During the stay, our girls had some anxiety and sick episodes but Angie was so attentive with updates and caring for them that put any worries at ease. The videos, pictures, and responsive texts made this first boarding/pet-sitting experience easy on both us humans and our dogs. Not to mention how Angie did all this over the Christmas holiday - I know Leia Pup and Penny loved their time with their "babysitter" watching Christmas movies and playing with other furry friends they made during the stay! THANK YOU ANGIE!”
“Bethany was wonderful your Benny! She exercised him, played with him and kept him entertained with her two other dogs. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures while we were away! Will definitely be using Bethany again!”

“Jordon has done extended stays caring for my long haired cat, Oliver. Oliver really doesn’t like to be social with anyone, but me! Jordon sends pictures everyday and to my surprise some of the pics….Oliver is sitting next to and relaxing with Jordon. He is very responsible & caring. He goes above and beyond. I will ask for Jordon every time I need someone to stay with Oliver while I’m away. Thank you, Jordon!”
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“Shelby went above and beyond for my kitten. She sent me many updates and answered every question I had! My kitten wasn't feeling too good at the time and Shelby made sure she was comfortable and kept a close eye on her!”
About: I've taken care of cats my entire life! My first ever sentence was "pretty kitty". :) Cats mean the world to me and I have a lot of experience catsitting for my neighbors & other such things with cats. I also have volunteer hours at my local animal shelter specifically with cat care. I own 3 cats of my own and would absolutely go to bat for any random cat I met on the street!!! Seriously, I used to argue with people in YouTube comment sections about how much I love cats. I have plenty of experience raising kittens (I've had lots of pregnant mamas over the years) and have steeled myself against the firey claws of. Cat claws. My cat likes to ride my shoulder like a parrot so y'know you get used to the sting. I would certainly love to bond with your cat (or cats! The more the merrier!) as they are my favorite thing in the world. Seriously, even my nickname is Kat!!! If you let me take care of your cats, you will be reincarnated as a beautiful lotus flower. My only wish in life is to kiss every kitty on their soft head..😊

About: I grew up with dogs and love them! I am a current dog mom to a spunky 3 year old golden retriever. We spent two years training him in home and out. I am currently a work from home employee so I am happy to let the pups out at any time of the day and can walk them after work. I have a decent sized fenced in back yard for the dogs to play in! My dog is super friendly and will love having play dates. He is neutered as well!
“Rachel was great! Very friendly, open and responsive! And she was so considerate and kind around this being Cosmo’s first time away from home without family -both with him and with me. I appreciated her updates too. Plan to have Cosmo visit again. Thank you!”
“Shelby was a wonderful sitter for our beagle-hound mix who has never been boarded. We needed an in-home stay when we were going to be away from our hotel room for an extended time. She kept us up to date with pictures and texts throughout the day. I highly recommend Shelby!”
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.

“Shelby watched my high energy 75 pound Shepherd/Husky mix, and she did great! She gave him a one hour walk each day for nine days and never had any issues. I could tell she is experienced around higher energy dogs. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a piece of mind while you’re on vacation. I will definitely be using her as a dog walker in the future. Thanks Shelby!”
“Tee-Tee was EXTREMELY accommodating after the first walker I booked became unresponsive HOURS before I had to leave for a work trip out of state.
