“The BEST dogsitter!! Sarah and her husband take the best care of our dog and send frequent photos, loved the pictures she sent with our pup wearing a sombrero for Cinco de Mayo! I always know she is being well taken care of at her house and doesn’t want to leave!”

“Once again Sara did an AMAZING job watching my little old baby Bones. Not only did she take him on super short notice, but she had him all during the holiday season with a pick up on Christmas Eve. My dog is old and anxious but Sara worked her magic (as always) and he was happy and content during his stay. She sent me regular messages and photos and I never worried even for a second knowing she had it handled. Her background as a Vet Tech really comes in handy with my babies as they have either been old or sick and she just takes the very best care of them. I swear that I would not go on vacation if Sara wasn't available to babysit for me. She is the absolute best and I would recommend her 100%!”

“We’re so glad we found Diane + Kevin! Our girl was in complete heaven the entire time. We received several pictures and updates throughout. Diane + Kevin are a great stay for your pups!”

“I am so blessed to have such a wonderful first experience with Rover and allowing someone to keep my baby boy , because he’s my ESA !!! Diandra and her family were very communicative, welcoming and I don’t doubt for a second the love they have for dogs .. I would love for my boy to stay again if we are in town !!”

“There are not enough good things to say about Emily! It was like having a friend I’ve known for years look after my pet! The open communication and reassurance she provided is unmatched. She was patient with the fact I’ve never boarded my cat, so was a little nervous with how he’d do…but she was so understanding, compassionate and loving towards my little guy! I picked Emily randomly…and am so thankful I did!! Highly recommend and now feel at ease with any future trips…as I’ll be using her again.”

“Rachel and her family did an amazing job of taking care of our dogs during our vacation. It was great to not have to worry about our pets during our vacation and I know they enjoyed their time with Rachel much more than their previous “boarding” stays at traditional kennels. Beautiful home, large fenced yard. We will definitely book again!”

“Brianna was great with our dog, Comet! She clearly loves dogs and took such great care of him, sending us regular updates of Comet over the three days he stayed with her. We will definitely be repeat clients.”

“I believe my pups had an awesome time at Kelli’s during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Kelli sent me pictures and kept me updated on their stay which made me feel so comfortable. I didn’t worry much about them because I could tell they were well looked after. Kelli has great price and will definitely use her in the future.”

“Alisa was amazing!! She sent tons of pictures loving on our dog! She also took him for walks and he got plenty of outdoor play! Her house was so clean and smelled amazing, which is difficult when taking care of multiple pets! Plus, she is so nice and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Alisa and we are already booked for our next stay with her!”

“Emily was really accommodating, I needed to change my drop off time and ended up picking up early. In both cases she was really flexible and worked with me. As for her sitting; my dog Zelda was happy and healthy so if we need to board in the future we will use Emily again.”

“Bella is a repeat guest with Crystal, mostly because I know she lives as good or better than at home! The whole family loves on her and make sure she is well taken care of. Will definitely continue to book! KC”


“Five stars is not enough! Breanna treated our girls like they were family. They had such a great time and we miss our girls whenever we travel so the updates and pictures she sent us meant a lot! We will definitely have our girls stay with Breanna and her family again.”
“Amazing pet sitters. Thanks for taking care of Brennan for us and sending us a video and picture. We will definitely be booking again! He had a great time and seemed well taken care of.”

“Paco was tired after he came home from Tracy’s. He had a great time with his new friends. Tracy and her husband have a great way of helping the dogs acclimate to their new location. Thank you.”

“Highly recommend Kristen and Kenneth, Mac loves to visit and is well taken care of everytime! He has a best buddy with Zeke and it is a blessing to know they treat him like he's part of their family when he visits ❤️❤️”

“This was our first time leaving our boxer with anyone. Derrick was great. We felt like he treated our dog like his own. Appreciated the pictures he sent when he took her for a walk. His house is set up so the pets he’s watching have their own room with a bed and couch. We really appreciated that she wasn’t out in a kennel. We will definitely use Derrick again.”

“Kelly took excellent care of our dog and he had tons of fun! She sent pics and videos daily to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend and would allow her to keep our furry friend again.”

“Alyssa was awesome! She was super understanding even when we were a little late picking up our fur-baby. She was very communitive and sent pictures as this was the first time he was watched by anyone. She had a clean home and plenty of room for him to play. Very very happy with our experience I definitely recommend her! 10/10 will ask her to watch him again in the near future.”

“Melissa did a fantastic job with Chloe. She went above and beyond when my plans changed. Chloe was very well taken care of & we had no trouble resuming our normal schedule as soon as I returned after a 10 day trip. I received updates via text, photos & movies. I will be using her services again : )”

“Noah took great care of our two cats and was incredibly helpful when our trip got extended. He stayed flexible, kept a positive attitude, and handled everything with professionalism. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and truly appreciated his support. Highly recommend!”


“Alissa took great care of our crew of kitties! She made friends with all of them, including our most anxious and skittish of the group. We got pictures of them throughout the day and we could see they were happy and content! She was able to give the variety of medicine they needed without issue too!”


About: I have five cats of my own. I had a cat that had chronic kidney disease, which I had to give daily medications for. My five now range from 1 year old to 14 years old. I am comfortable with trimming cat nails as well if you are in need.

“Cali was wonderful! I've never used a pet sitter before so I was a little apprehensive but there was no need to worry at all. She kept me updated with the visits and great pics. I know my kitty Missy loved her visits and I appreciated knowing she was in good hands.”


About: I provide calm, attentive, and loving care for cats while their owners are away. I understand that cats can be very particular about their routines and environment, so I always make sure to follow your instructions closely to keep your cat comfortable and stress-free. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone nearby to care for them, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving your cat the attention they deserve. You’ll also receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as easy as possible for both you and your cat.
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”

“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”


About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Brownsburg resident, lifelong animal lover, and experienced caregiver. My background includes years of experience caring for animals through 4-H, including dogs, horses, and livestock, as well as caring for pets in home settings. I’ve worked with animals of different sizes, temperaments, and care needs, and understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. Professionally, I’ve worked in education, healthcare leadership, and caregiving roles where trust, responsibility, communication, and safety were essential every day. Those same qualities guide how I care for your pets and your home. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is different—and every pet is family. When you book with me, you can expect reliable communication, regular photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are being cared for by someone with both animal-care and professional caregiving experience.
About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings. I have most weekdays off of work and am always available for a morning check-in for your pet. I am able to move pets between rooms and crate animals if needed in your home. I do not host pets for boarding at my own home.
“Zach did an awesome job caring for our senior cat, Lizzie. He provided daily updates and cared for Lizzie as if she was her own. We highly recommend Zach for any of your pet sitting needs.”


About: I have been pet-sitting since I was a child, for the neighborhood. It all started with a cat next door, named Honey. Since then, I have close to 30 years of experience in Veterinary Medicine. I have 3 cats of my own, currently, but have had others in the past, too. I LOVE my furry feline friends!
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.

“Brianna was amazing with my sweet little Bentley! She communicated with me throughout both days, and sent me pictures as well. Bentley was well taken care of, and excited to go both days. I will definitely book more appointments with Brianna in the future. Thanks again, Brianna!!”

“Janet was absolutely wonderful! My dog Pumpkin stayed with her for the entire day for daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated and let me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Janet is so kind and caring, and it’s obvious she truly loves the dogs she watches. Her sweet basset hound, Mildred, is absolutely adorable too! Pumpkin came home happy, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands all day. I would absolutely book with Janet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little guy! 💕🐶”

“Kristen and Kenneth were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog Ace. They were so welcoming, made sure everyone was a good fit, let us see where the dogs would be and helped us and our boy get acclimated to the environment! They sent updates throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures! I never once worried about Ace (and we often do as he is a very anxious dog)! Not only this, but they helped us pull off an engagement and made accommodations so that the proposal could go perfectly without us having to worry about Ace (: we will 10000% be using them again!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or a calm and attentive sitter while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. **I also offer yard freedom for all my furry friends, as our home sits on .25 acres of fenced in yard, a sought after haven for those high energy babies who love to get their zoomies in!** I understand that every dog is unique, so I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and energy levels. From energetic walks and games to relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to what your dog needs most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and work hard to build trust with both pets and their owners. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and help make their days happier while you’re busy or away! I am a SAHM, so caring for dogs and cats can easily be built into my schedule! My little one loves animals, so taking him along or introducing him to someone new is always exciting, he also enjoys playing with them! We do love backpacking on trails, so there is no limit to the care and fun I can provide. I provide safe, attentive, and loving care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. Since I have animals of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I treat every animal like part of the family. For **boarding in my home**, I create a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow a routine similar to what they’re used to. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and a safe space to rest. For **house sitting in a client’s home**, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I also help keep the home tidy and make sure pets feel secure while their owner is away. For **dog walking**, I make sure each walk is safe, fun, and suited to the dog’s energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower sniff-and-explore pace, I tailor the walk to their needs. For **drop-in visits**, I stop by to feed pets, refresh water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, provide playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. No matter the service, I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.

“Brittany, was wonderful with my little Maggie and her dog Waylon was great with Maggie too!! She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again!”

“It was another GREAT day with Mrs. Emily today!! Hank can’t wait to see her every Thursday and he is always a happy boy when I pick him up.. Thanks Mrs. Emily for being such a fantastic sitter!! If you’re looking for someone to watch your furry baby, we HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Lori was warm and welcoming to my dogs and me. She was flexible with my chaotic day and super easy to work with. I really appreciated her help! Great yard space and secure fence, too!”

“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. This was our second time leaving our little fur-baby with her and he seems to really enjoy her and is opening up (He has a bit of separation anxiety)...I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Tracy is awesome. This was my first time leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of her and reassured me along the way too. I’ll definitely be using her again”

“Amelia was excellent. Easy to communicate with and schedule first visit. Great to have a backyard for our pup to play. Our pup enjoyed playing with all the kiddos. It wore our pup out which is great. Going back next week!”

About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. Maple was a diabetic for 7 years. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. My senior pets care needs helped build my knowledge in senior dogs. I am well educated on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.
About: Hey there! My name is Audrey and I've been an animal lover since very a young age. Grew up on a farm and started watching for family and friends about 10 years old. From chickens, cows, horses, you name it I've cared for it! I take care of my parents Shih Tzu Dollie (named after Mrs Dolly Parton, because of her big attitude and sass!). *****My husband Joey occasionally assists me with pet sitting and care. We have many people that we have watched pets for together. We just love giving all animals love and affection they deserve. I'm currently a full time worker, but only working Wednesday to Saturday 7:30a to 6p. So I am available to cuddle and play with your furry family member on my days off and if your comfortable with care morning before and after my work schedule. My husband currently works 8a-4p in Plainfield as well, but he’s able to assist with midday potty breaks and care if you so desire! My husband and I take the atmost care of your furry family member making sure their bellies are full and they have plenty of cuddles and play time in the comfort of your own home!
“Jaclyn is the BEST! I was so nervous to leave my puppy with someone but he comes home with the biggest smile and I know he was well taken care of :) I can tell he plays hard over there with her dogs! Nothing but great things to say ❤️”

“Jessica is incredibly quick to respond, kind, patient, and clearly cares about each dog’s individual needs and safety. They have a beautiful home with a large, well-maintained fenced yard, and it’s obvious they go above and beyond to make the dogs feel comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend them!”

About: I currently work at a veterinarian clinic and deal with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I would help on my days off at the vet clinic. I am always off on Sundays and major holidays. I would also try to fit any pet care on my days I work as well. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was twelve when my family got the first dog. I have always loved animals and have since owned three cats and volunteered at numerous animal welfare organizations. I currently work full-time, but I have the availability to come visit and walk throughout the week and ensure your pet gets let out in a timely manner. I absolutely spoil my cat and plan to grow my family in the near future! I would treat your pet as my own throughout their duration of care.
About: Hello, my name is Brianna! I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and exotic pets. I own Doggy Acres, a dog boarding and daycare facility with 4.5 acres of land that includes 2 fenced in areas and a large barn for play times. I also offer drop in and in home pet sitting options. I have been taking care of animals my whole life and started boarding dogs while I was in college. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medical cases, behavioral cases, administering medication, and more. Feel free to reach out at any time with questions or to schedule a meet and greet. I live next to Doggy Acres and also have staff that comes throughout the day to help play with our daycare and boarding dogs. Someone will be there to take the highest quality care of your pup 24/7! I offer boarding at our facility Doggy Acres as well as in-home boarding options. Pets will receive regular walks, access to indoor and outdoor play areas, scheduled playtimes, and more!
About: I’ve been looking after my family’s, as well as my own animals for years. I can appropriately handle both higher and lower energy animals, as well as care for animals that need special attention. Two of my kittens have asthma so I’m good with around the clock medications when they are needed. I’m currently a freshman in college, I have a part time job with super flexible hours and work schedules. I don’t mind staying over or even dropping by every few hours if they don’t need 24 hour supervision. I am very capable of taking larger or even smaller dogs on walks if needed, or just keeping an eye on them in the yard. I don’t mind cleaning up after them as well. Most of the cats that I have are rescues and require taking medication so I do have experience with administering those when needed.
“My last review was 7 months ago, and I am reviewing again because I am relocating, and I don't know what we would have done without Ana. Ana walks my 65 lb. Weimaraner every week 3-4 times a week, and she has not cancelled ever, not once! Occasionally my schedule changes at the last minute, and she's always willing to adjust and extremely pleasant to work with! She is quick to respond with the app and always sends pics of her visits. We are definitely going to miss her. She has set the bar very high when we move to find someone as great as she's been!”

About: I am very skilled with animals ! I’ve grown up with showing and raising different kinds of animals my whole life ! It would be a pleasure to help care for yours ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard ! I also have a dog which is a golden retriever and she loves other dogs !
About: I love bonding and interacting with the families and their pets. I love the enjoyment of animals and giving them extra love while their owners are away! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I'm able to stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feedings, and check-ins when needed. Before and after work, I dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give your pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. I can't currently have animals stay in my home. But depending on what the client is looking for, I can drop by their home and visit or stay with that animal if need be.
About: I have always taken care of family pets, and within the last 3 years have opened up to family friends, and their friends who looked for pet care. I do not limit myself to just cats and dogs, I can care for more exotic animals such as ferrets, turtles, reptiles, rabbits, etc. I am able to administer medications as needed. Pet sitting is a big part of my schedule. I have spent up to 3 weeks caring for family pets, both overnights and drop ins. Although I have the families I love to care for, I am excited to meet some friendly faces and give more love to! I care for peoples pets preferably in their own homes. I always like to do a meet-and-greet following up to my stays/visits. I always follow how parents ask for me to care for each pet to keep them in a routine they know and love.
About: It all started with the next-door neighbor's cat, Honey. She was my first pet I took care of when they went out of town. I have always loved animals. Since then, I have had (so many!) of my own pets, and I got into the Veterinary Business as a young adult. I spent close to 30 years in VetMed, and now co-own a dog training business. I can not only love and cuddle your pets while away, but I am very comfortable administering medications (including injections), trimming toenails and cleaning ears! I can't wait to meet and fall in love with your babies! I am flexible, but do have to work around a Full-Time job. I also co-own a business, but I can make my own schedule around other things. (One of the perks of business ownership.) I am trustworthy, and can provide references upon request. I will treat your home and your babies as if they were my own. I will also water plants and bring in mail!
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
“I reviewed a few months ago and wanted to follow up. At this point Zach has watched all my pups and I can’t stress enough how great he is. He takes the time to build with each dog, he asks a lot of questions, and genuinely cares about making sure they feel as comfortable as possible when we are gone. He is such a good dog sitter, and a really great guy in general. The only down side is now we don’t want to share him! Haha. Honestly though, your dog would be in very capable hands. Thanks Zach!”


About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.
About: I love and enjoy all breeds. I enjoy different pet personalities and learning their unique traits. I've had my own dogs and cats and have helped others with their pets. I'm currently not working a full time job and looking to fill my time playing with you fur babies. I'm adaptable to schedules and dependable. My yard is fenced and my dog enjoys the home to its fullest. As a black lab puppy he does crate for short times if I'm not home, but other then that he is out and about. There's a space for him in almost every room.
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming.

Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs.

I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.

About: I have had a Newfoundland for the last 8 years, he is back at home with my parents. I also just recently got a golden retriever/australian shepherd mix who is now 6 months old! I have always loved animals, especially dogs and I would love to get the opportunity to work with you and your dogs. It would also provide excellent socialization skills with my dog now. I don't have a lot of experience with small dogs, but I am more than willing to walk them and play with them. Since my dog is a large breed, I am more comfortable having medium and large+ breeds around him. He is very gentle and loves to play. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
About: I have been a lover of animals since I was a kid, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats! I have sat many people’s animals within my family and friends and I even have a dog and cat of my own! I work part time at Amazon, so I’m only gone for a few hours in the mornings. The rest of the day I usually spend with my pets, and/ or with yours! I care for pets in my home/ other people’s homes by making sure they’re fed, their water is clean and they have had plenty of play time with me or other animals, and of course, lots of cuddles!! (If they like cuddles.)

“We’re so glad we found Diane + Kevin! Our girl was in complete heaven the entire time. We received several pictures and updates throughout. Diane + Kevin are a great stay for your pups!”

“I am so blessed to have such a wonderful first experience with Rover and allowing someone to keep my baby boy , because he’s my ESA !!! Diandra and her family were very communicative, welcoming and I don’t doubt for a second the love they have for dogs .. I would love for my boy to stay again if we are in town !!”

“There are not enough good things to say about Emily! It was like having a friend I’ve known for years look after my pet! The open communication and reassurance she provided is unmatched. She was patient with the fact I’ve never boarded my cat, so was a little nervous with how he’d do…but she was so understanding, compassionate and loving towards my little guy! I picked Emily randomly…and am so thankful I did!! Highly recommend and now feel at ease with any future trips…as I’ll be using her again.”

“Rachel and her family did an amazing job of taking care of our dogs during our vacation. It was great to not have to worry about our pets during our vacation and I know they enjoyed their time with Rachel much more than their previous “boarding” stays at traditional kennels. Beautiful home, large fenced yard. We will definitely book again!”

“Brianna was great with our dog, Comet! She clearly loves dogs and took such great care of him, sending us regular updates of Comet over the three days he stayed with her. We will definitely be repeat clients.”

“I believe my pups had an awesome time at Kelli’s during the long Thanksgiving weekend. Kelli sent me pictures and kept me updated on their stay which made me feel so comfortable. I didn’t worry much about them because I could tell they were well looked after. Kelli has great price and will definitely use her in the future.”

“Alisa was amazing!! She sent tons of pictures loving on our dog! She also took him for walks and he got plenty of outdoor play! Her house was so clean and smelled amazing, which is difficult when taking care of multiple pets! Plus, she is so nice and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Alisa and we are already booked for our next stay with her!”

“Emily was really accommodating, I needed to change my drop off time and ended up picking up early. In both cases she was really flexible and worked with me. As for her sitting; my dog Zelda was happy and healthy so if we need to board in the future we will use Emily again.”

“Paco was tired after he came home from Tracy’s. He had a great time with his new friends. Tracy and her husband have a great way of helping the dogs acclimate to their new location. Thank you.”

“Highly recommend Kristen and Kenneth, Mac loves to visit and is well taken care of everytime! He has a best buddy with Zeke and it is a blessing to know they treat him like he's part of their family when he visits ❤️❤️”

“This was our first time leaving our boxer with anyone. Derrick was great. We felt like he treated our dog like his own. Appreciated the pictures he sent when he took her for a walk. His house is set up so the pets he’s watching have their own room with a bed and couch. We really appreciated that she wasn’t out in a kennel. We will definitely use Derrick again.”

“Kelly took excellent care of our dog and he had tons of fun! She sent pics and videos daily to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend and would allow her to keep our furry friend again.”

“Alyssa was awesome! She was super understanding even when we were a little late picking up our fur-baby. She was very communitive and sent pictures as this was the first time he was watched by anyone. She had a clean home and plenty of room for him to play. Very very happy with our experience I definitely recommend her! 10/10 will ask her to watch him again in the near future.”

“Melissa did a fantastic job with Chloe. She went above and beyond when my plans changed. Chloe was very well taken care of & we had no trouble resuming our normal schedule as soon as I returned after a 10 day trip. I received updates via text, photos & movies. I will be using her services again : )”

“Josh and Kate were great and really helped alleviate my anxiety in leaving him in someone else’s home. They were welcoming and knowledgeable about the best way to introduce him to the other let they were caring for. They sent updates which thrilled all of us, especially the kids, to see that he was being so well taken care of and loved while we were away. Milo seemed very comfortable and quickly made himself at home in theirs. It was a great experience and their care was very much appreciated. Can’t recommend them enough and rather than stress about who will keep our anxious pup while we are away I will be looking up Josh and Kate immediately. Thank you both for loving our big, sweet Milo!”

“Julie and her family took incredible of our golden while we were out of the country!! This is our second time leaving Lily with Julie and we definitely will be again in the future. Thank you so much, again, Julie!! :)”

“Jessica and David took great care of Mocha. They communicated well, sent us lovely photos of our pooch during her stay, and treated her to a walk, car ride and pup cup. They are true dog people! Absolutely would book them again.”
