“Michelle and her family are such a blessing for us. It’s so nice to know our fur babies will not only be well treated but will enjoy their time with her family. Thank you Michelle!”

“Krysten and her family were awesome for our dog. She was played with and we got daily updates. They were accommodating to her needs/usual living routines. Our anxious little dog did very well there.”

“Tracy did a phenomenal job watching after Axel. She and her whole family, including her fur babies, took Axel in like a member of the family. What a wonderful service! We have already scheduled additional times for Axel to stay there. Highly recommend!!”

“Paige was so friendly! She was an amazing communicator and sent us constant updates on how our ‘baby’ was doing. You can tell our dog was really loved on! I would definitely rebook with Paige!”

“I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with Jayne and her family! He seemed happy when we left, and happy when we picked him up. I really appreciated the pics and updates Jayne sent. I highly recommend her!”

“Christina was wonderful! Our dog is older and a rescue so new people/places can bother her but she settled right in at Christina’s home and did great. Christina showered her with attention & love. She was flexible with drop-off & pick-up times which was helpful. This was our first Rover experience - we will certainly use the service again & hopefully Christina will be available as she would be our first choice!”

“Larysa was so kind, patient, attentive to my pet. She and her husband are both caring people, have a clean, calm home, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with them and their dog. I will book again with her.”

“Justin is absolutely amazing. Communication was quick and honest. Our pup had a good time playing and was well taken care of. We will definitely be requesting Justin for all of our pup’s daycare needs in the future. Highly recommend.”

“Our dog loves Linsey and her family. Our dog is always excited when we pull up to their house. They have also been very accomodating in the past when our dog had activity restrictions.”

“Our Stevie was treated very well with Nichole and her family. She was very accommodating even though it was a holiday week. We appreciated the photos and that she even took our dog out for pup cups. We would definitely recommend and use again.”

“Jessie had the best time!! Amber sent updated photos on a routine basis, let me know how Jesse was doing, and was great at responding. She and her husband are super great! 10/10 will be using again. :)”


“We left our dog and cat for about 4 days for a vacation out of town, and when we got back, they seemed to miss the sitter more than they missed us. 5 Stars! We received daily updates about their care along with photos of our babies. Ashley was wonderful caring for them, giving us peace of mind while we enjoyed our vacation. We are already considering booking again for our next trip!”

“We booked with Lezlie a last minute 3 days board sitting for our dog Pete. She was supper accommodating and took great care of Pete. We appreciate all the pictures and how we were kept informed about his day. We can tell he had a great time! And would love to rebook with her next time.”

“This was my first time using Rover and/or boarding our cat. Maria was so kind and thoughtful with answering all my questions and giving updates! Every picture she sent really showed how comfortable my cat was getting and that she was making sure to give him love and attention. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone.”


“Alecia was incredibly caring, organized, and very attentive with my cats.🐱 Every day she kept me informed about how everything was at home and also sent me photos of them, which made me feel very calm and reassured during my time away. She not only took care of them and administered their medication, but also made sure their water bowls were always clean. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to clean the litter boxes, clean up vomit, sweep, and keep the mat tidy. These are the kinds of details that truly make a difference.✨️ She played with them, spoiled them, and cared for them with so much love and dedication. Alecia is very kind, respectful, and warm in her communication, which builds even more trust. 🌸 Without a doubt, I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry loved ones.🐾 It’s very comforting to know that someone like her exists someone who can care for your pets as if you were there yourself. It’s clear that she truly loves what she does, and her work is simply outstanding ✨️.”

“Oliver loved being at Lauren and Corey’s house. They took great care of him and made our first experience with Rover wonderful. We will definitely be contacting them again when we need care for him in the future.”

About: I work remotely so I’m home most of the day☺️ This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day! My husband and I are both dog lovers and have a dog of our own, Carter, a 9 y.o. black lab/blue heeler mix. She’s very friendly, easygoing, and gets along great with other dogs🐶 We don’t have kids, so our home is calm and quiet, and the dogs get lots of attention🥰 They’re welcome on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home, and we have a large fenced yard where they can safely run and play. We also live in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for regular walks! I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and do my BEST to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here🥰 Feel free to reach out with any questions about availability or how boarding/daycare works, I’m always happy to help!☺️ Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs lots of attention🥰 Walks and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine I only take up to 2 dogs per day to keep things calm, comfortable, and low-stress for everyone. I treat every dog like family and work from home, so they get plenty of attention and supervision! My home is clean, pet-friendly, with a large fenced yard for safe playtime, and I always follow each dog’s routine to help them feel at ease🙂
“Christina has a fantastic fenced in backyard and a very friendly dog. You can tell she enjoys interacting with the dogs too! She sent some videos and pics to let us know how they were doing. We can tell they had an absolute blast with her family! We barely made it in the door and they both flopped over from being tired! We will be definitely be repeat customers!! THANK YOU!!!!!”

About: Hi! My name is Melissa and I'm so happy to be here! I have 15 years of experience caring for and walking my own dogs, and sitting for friends and family. I know the importance of getting some exercise in for your fur friend, and how challenging it can be to find the time some days! So I am here to help, let me take care of that task for you! I enjoy walking and being outdoors and I'd love to have your pup accompany me! I also own my own home with a fully fenced in backyard, and I work full time from home, so if you need boarding or daycare services, my home would be great for you! I have two pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs, so if you are ok with that, we'd love to care for and keep your pup with us, too! I work from home full time, so it’s easy to attend to my pups (and yours!) during the workday. I can make a lunch hour walk or drop work easily. And afternoons and evenings are pretty open! I have a fully fenced in yard and I am able to let my dogs out as often as they need, and they would be perfect companions for your pups when staying here as well
“Anna and her family are great! We used her daycare services while we had some work being done at our house and she was super flexible when we needed to adjust days last minute. Anna takes such good care of our pup, I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi everyone - I was a mom to older English Bulldogs who have recently passed and understand the need for a sitter at times. I used to use a dog sitter myself during the day and understand how hard it can be to get home sometimes! Now that my doggos are no longer with me, I would love to help you out. I work from home so can accept daycare or overnight boarding at my place. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced in backyard for all of the potty breaks and I can also bring them on short walks if requested. I live in a zero-entry, one-level home with no steps which is great for pets with bad joints.
About: Professionalism and effective communication will set me apart from others on the site. Of course, I love dogs and cats, but I also enjoy people and take great pride in being dependable, someone you can trust. If you choose to work with me it will be a great experience for your K-9 and for you too! I will be available for boarding on weekends, and available early mornings and evenings, 7 days a week. Under special circumstances I may be able to expand my availability for boarding to weekdays, but only after building rapport for an agreeable period of time. Kindness and patience are the hallmarks of the care I will provide to the pets under my supervision. I am a loving father of three kids. I was a classroom teacher for 20 years. I grew up with pets. My respect and affection for animals is genuine. Most importantly, I do not think that I know better than you concerning the care of your beloved pet. My attention and the care I provide will align with your wishes and expectations.
“Emily and her pups were amazing sitters for our boy Sonoma today! We were nervous about leaving him with someone for the first time but after chatting with Emily and meeting her and her 2 dogs for a few minutes the day before the planned sitting…we were totally confident that he was in good hands. Emily is such a kind hearted person with a genuine love for dogs and it shows in her care for her own. Sonoma immediately warmed up to her and the 3 puppies were able to have a great time together. She was considerate of our routine/habits and sent pictures all day long, which we were so thankful to have! Sonoma didn’t want to leave Emily’s house and even sat in protest on her porch. We would absolutely love/plan to use Emily again and would recommend her to anyone looking for fantastic care in Paradise!”

About: Ive been pet sitting for numerous years as well as growing up caring for and loving many, many family pets! I throughly enjoy long walks so your pup will have the best care with me. Im here for all the walks, snuggles, and zoomies! My 8 year old daughter is also an animal lover and willing to play and cuddle any and all animals, including reptiles! Im currently working at home part time so I am very available to cuddle your pet, take them on long walks, and get all their zoomies out. As well as pet sitting overnight. My daughter is in the 3rd grade so I need my time taken up while she's at school. I have a small side yard at my town home and a SUV to fit a crate in if need be. I am willing to travel out of town for care and drive farther. I don't mind weird hours just as long as I get a heads up! My daughter is an animal lover so if your pet likes kids it is even better.

“Lisa was a wonderful human to Zeke while I got out of town for a weekend. She sent me a note and a pic of Zeke each day. He was very relaxed. I would say Lisa provided a home away from home. She will be my first call when I need extended care for him again.”
