“They took great care of my boy. They only sent one or two photos a day; our other sitters spoiled us with photos, but he was in great hands.”
“Lyndsey did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She had lots of play time and snuggles. She did a great job sending occasional updates. I will be reaching out to Lyndsey again when I need a dog sitter, and I would recommend her to everyone!”
“If you were to imagine the couple you’d want to watch your family pet its Alex and Jaycee. They are very professional, clean home, great communication, and evident pet lovers!”
“I had never used a service like this before and I was so happy to find the right person to help care for August while I was away! Being new to the area I didn’t have anyone who could watch her while I left and I’m glad I found Azure! August was happy as can be!”
“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”
“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad we chose Jennifer to watch our Golden Retriever. Our dog stayed 8 nights, and we were sent photos and daily updates. Not once did I feel worried about her well-being. I can tell our dog enjoyed her stay, and I'm not convinced she's glad to be back home! We will most definitely use Jennifer again in the future, and will recommend her to others.”
“We would definitely use Agnatha again. Our girl doesn't like when we leave her with other people but she did really good with Agnatha! Agnatha was very responsive when I messaged her, she set up a meet and greet well in advance of our trip, and sent photos and updates everyday we were gone!”
“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”

“So incredibly blessed to have found Kristen to care for my fur baby while away. She kept me updated with beautiful pictures, which kept my mind at easy being the first time being away from him. Definitely recommend her to care for your fur baby! Without a shadow of a doubt will book with her for all my sitting needs!”
“Very nice and very sweet! My dogs are pretty anxious but they were more than fine with her! Heard they got a lot of cuddles and play time which shows with how tired they are at home! Appreciate how much my dogs were loved !”

“Alexis was amazing & I will absolutely be using again! She did 1 hour drop-in visits for my 2 kitties for 8 days & went above & beyond my expectations. This was the first time I’ve ever had to leave them for an extended period of time, so it was also the first time I’ve had to hire someone to help take care of them, so I was pretty nervous. She came over ahead of time to get acquainted with them & myself, stayed in constant communication while I was gone, sent me lots of pictures & updates, & most impressive- got one of my babies to be snuggly & loving with her which is incredible considering their normal disposition around new people (hiding be pretty hissy/unfriendly). That alone let me know just how amazing she is with animals! When I came home their litter boxes were clean, their food & water were full, & they were both perfect condition. I’m so grateful for Alexis & how well she took care of my kitties while I was gone. I knew they were safe & well cared for which made being away from them 1,000 times easier! She will be my number 1 go-to anytime I need someone to take care of my cats in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Mariah highly enough! She watched my two cats for a week and I was genuinely blown away by the level of care, attention and kindness she provided. Throughout the week, I received thoughtful updates, adorable photos and little notes about how each cat was doing. The attention to detail settled a lot of my concerns while being away.”
“Bree went above and beyond when we had an emergency on our vacation far from home. Recommend her heartily (make sure to leave a nice tip if she has to climb through your window).”
“Risa did a great job taking care of our fur babies! This was our first time using Rover & she helped us navigate the app. She responded quickly and answered all our questions. Risa is such a lovely person…easy to talk to and filled with positive energy. She makes you feel at ease right away. We received daily updates on time and she collected our mail without us having to ask. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Charity was awesome visiting with our two cats. She made sure that our cat that loves people had plenty of attention. And went in search for our more reclusive one to put eyes on her. Very appreciated!”

Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”
“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”
“Rebecca took great care of my dog! She was kind, responsive, and made my nervous dog feel safe and at home during her stay. I would highly recommend and will be using Rebecca’s services in the future if needed.”
About: Hello! I am an active pet rescue volunteer ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I feel like I have the best job in the world because I get to meet and care for all kinds of species and breeds, like my very own personal menagerie! I truly look forward to meeting you and providing your furry family members with the extra special care and attention they deserve while you are away. 😊 Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away.

I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.
“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it could not have gone any better! Agnatha was extremely responsive. She allowed us to do a meet and greet and also a short trial run before Bobby’s first day with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos for reassurance. Bobby was very comfortable at her house and did so well! Bobby loves her and I know she loves him! We will definitely be using Agnatha again!”

“It is so nice to be able to leave your pet and know that they are loved and cared for while you are away. Lyndsey is great at communicating and send updates frequently, which definitely gives me peace of mind ❤️”
About: no matter what animal, I am looking forward to helping provide all the love, attention, and care they will need while you are away. I Grew up with many different pets and i’ve always had a big role in caring for them. From dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and chickens, to turtles, fish, lizards and spiders i got it! hello! my name is robin i speak english and i am learning spanish. i am a full time door dasher so i am try to keep busy with animals in my freetime. I am also available for same day dog walking. I love to exercise and I enjoy taking dogs on walks around the addition I live in. I have a trail in my back yard that leads eventually to a small lake that is my usual route I take. I also have a large backyard I run around with pups to get their energy out. I can guarantee the best care possible for your pets at all times. I am Happy to help with any specific needs for your pets care !
About: I have experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to senior and those with special needs. I previously had a small blind incontinent senior terrier who has since gone over the rainbow bridge, so I understand the extra patience and attention required to make them feel comfortable. I have also raised and house-trained two puppies into adulthood, who are still with my family today! One of them is a unique mix of Belgian Malinois, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute, and Rottweiler (Try saying that five times fast!). We had his DNA tested, so we can now confidently confirm his impressive mutt status. His high energy and intelligence required consistent training and socialization. After raising him, it's safe to say that I'm comfortable with puppy routines, basic obedience training, and how to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is that I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality and comfort level so they receive the best care that fits their individual needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an active adult, or a gentle senior, I will provide the best and reliable care while you are away. I am currently homebound so your fur baby will have my full undivided attention! I recently lost my senior baby so having a temporary walking companion would be great therapy! In my home, your dog will be family. I follow each dog's routine, including feedings times/medications, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. I keep leashes and harnesses ready by the door so dogs are always secured before any potty breaks or walk. If a dog wants to just sunbathe outside, I also have a stake and tie out, so no fence, no problem! To help prevent accidents, stairs and basement access are blocked off at all times, and rooms remain closed. All interactions between dogs will be supervised and there will never be any forced introductions. If a dog needs time to decompress or prefers their own space, I have multiple safe options available, including an end-table crate in the main living area so they can remain close by while I relax, a standard metal crate, and a dedicated quiet room for dogs that may become overwhelmed or simply need a break.

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

I understand that your dog is a member of your family, and I am committed to providing them with the same love and care I give my own children.
“So happy to be working with Taylor, she lets my 6 month puppy out every week. She provides me with pictures, and detailed report on how far they walked. You can tell she is a pet lover because she goes the extra mile! One time she stayed over a bit to make sure my pup could play a little before getting back in his kennel! 10/10 recommend Taylor.”
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. I've spent my whole life around animals and currently share my home with four wonderful cats and one happy dog. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently working full-time Tuesday-Friday 8a-6p so, unfortunately, I don’t have availability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends/Monday’s, I’m available morning, afternoon, evening and night! I will always create a comfortable and loving environment for you pets when coming into your home. I’m unable to allow cats/dogs into my own home at the time!
About: I am a loving mother of 2 and I will care for your pets as if they were one of the kids. I have dog sit before and loved it. When I was younger I use to volunteer at the animal shelter with my great-grandma and that's the reason I love animals today. We also adopted a cat a couple of years ago, and we just love him to pieces. We also just adopted a dog that we have previously sat for. I currently work at a nursing home, my boyfriend and I work opposite schedules so someone is always at home with your fur babies. Also with it being summer I have my two kiddos help out. I will make sure each animal has proper care including a clean safe cozy shelter, clean water, regular bathroom breaks, going on walks for at least half an hour, who knows it could be longer, and so much more!

“Lyndsey did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She had lots of play time and snuggles. She did a great job sending occasional updates. I will be reaching out to Lyndsey again when I need a dog sitter, and I would recommend her to everyone!”

“I had never used a service like this before and I was so happy to find the right person to help care for August while I was away! Being new to the area I didn’t have anyone who could watch her while I left and I’m glad I found Azure! August was happy as can be!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“We got lots of pictures showing just how relaxed and comfortable our dog was while we were gone. He came back home happy and healthy. Thanks for taking care of him for us!”
“Cory was very kind and made me feel so comfortable with leaving my pupper (Roko) with him. The communication was 100%, great amount of space for Roko to run off his energy and play, and just awesome understanding and care for him. I will be rebooking for the next time we have a family trip because my Roko felt so loved and comfortable and happy here.”
“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad we chose Jennifer to watch our Golden Retriever. Our dog stayed 8 nights, and we were sent photos and daily updates. Not once did I feel worried about her well-being. I can tell our dog enjoyed her stay, and I'm not convinced she's glad to be back home! We will most definitely use Jennifer again in the future, and will recommend her to others.”
“We would definitely use Agnatha again. Our girl doesn't like when we leave her with other people but she did really good with Agnatha! Agnatha was very responsive when I messaged her, she set up a meet and greet well in advance of our trip, and sent photos and updates everyday we were gone!”
“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”
“April was very gracious to accept a last minute booking for Kayla. She had a great time with April and her kids whom took wonderful care of her. She is a happy and tired girl! I will definitely utilize April and her family’s services again. Thank you so much!”
“Rebecca is fantastic. My doggo loves hanging out with her. She gives him lots of walks, attention, and hang time, while following our outline for his specific needs. He’s very calm and happy with her.”
“Heather was a wonderful sitter for my 11 month old puppy. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up. She was communicative and sent me photos and updates. I would definitely use her again.”
“Jami was a great sitter for our dog, Gizmo! He enjoyed being outside in the fenced yard and all the extra attention. My family enjoyed a week long vacation knowing he was is good hands. Jami was very accommodating and flexible with drop off/pick up times. We will definitely will be rebooking for future vacations.”
“Millie and her family are amazing, the daily pictures, updates and touch bases with how our dog was doing while we were away really made us feel like we were there with him the entire time. When our pet had an upset stomach Millie went above and beyond to give him chicken, rice and pumpkin puree to help calm his stomach.”
“We’re so grateful for the incredible care Emily and her family gave Onyx while we were away! This was our first time ever leaving him with someone else, and we were a little nervous, but her daily updates and photos truly made all the difference. He looked so relaxed and happy in every single one! Truly he was having a blast hanging with Emily’s pups, it was so comforting to know he was in good hands and company. Emily, thank you for treating him like one of your own, we came home to a very content pup! We’d absolutely love to book with you again next time we travel and for play dates! 🐾💛”
