“I feel so grateful for Kim watching my dog, Ollie. She obviously loves dogs and takes wonderful care of them. Ollie likes socializing with the other dogs but he’s older and likes relaxing too. Kim’s house is a relaxing clean atmosphere for the dogs to play and can go outside when they need to. Love how she has gated the front door so no little one escapes. She sent photos and texts showing me he is content. Hopefully Kim will be available again when we go on a trip.”
“Alycia always provide great care for our 11 year old pug/chihaua mix. Cady had a great time hanging with her dog and the guest dog. She also provided regular update photos--always a comfort to see your dog at rest or play!”
“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“My puppy came home super tired and very happy! I think she had a blast. They kept me up to date with pictures and texts and I didn't have to worry at all. She was in good hands!”
“Oscar enjoyed his stay and came home perfectly relaxed from a stress free time away from home. We were very pleased with the care he received from this family!”
“Tricia is so great and amazing. My dog, yuzu loves it when she is with Tricia. I love how Tricia sends daily updates with photo. She truly is the best. I recommended her to all of my friends”
“10s across the board! Rachel was a phenomenal sitter. So great, in fact, that we doubt this is the last time we’ll use her. She’s very communicative and sent plenty of pictures of our dog during the stay. She we felt completely comfortable leaving our Ethel with Rachel. Your pets will be in great hands here!”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“My pup seemed to have a great time and came home tired and happy! Stephanie sent us daily pictures, which meant a lot to us, and she was easily available for communication. We would definitely board with her again!”
“Abbie took great care of our dogs when we were out of town. They both get anxious about boarding and when we picked them up they were calm without any of the behavioral problems we sometimes experience. She has a big back yard and her house is comfortable for dogs with all sorts of needs. Definitely planning on reaching out again next time we go out of town.”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Absolutely fabulous, we had never left our dog before snd Matt and Jill made things extremely easy and nice with constant updates and pictures!! Highly recommend!!”
“Jane is wonderful! She is dependable, responsible, and so caring. I always know my boy is in good hands. Not only am I happy with Jane’s care, but Oliver runs to her and is so excited to see her. She is awesome in his eyes too!”
“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over four years now, pups of all ages!! I’ve been trained to give medication, I’ve been trained to work with animals that have special needs, anything your animal may need I can do! I can do drop bys during the day, stay over night, or even just a simple walk, whatever you may need. My schedule is very flexible and open! Depending on what you need, I can do it! Just know your pet is in good hands and will always be safe in my care.
“Wolf did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our babies while we were away! They took the initiative to stop by before we left for an introduction and to get to know us, which left me feeling completely confident in them. We got a great little summary every day of how the visit went and several silly pictures each day of the cats. Wolf was such a treat and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent and capable pet sitter!”
“I could not have asked for a better cat sitter for my kitties! We have four and he took care of each of them perfectly! He distributed their medication, provided tons of photos, and was excellent with communication. We even encountered a last minute mix up with our address and he accommated us no problem. One of our kitties is terrified of strangers but he loves Alexandru! Truly an example that shows how much he loves animals. Would recommend 10/10 times.”
“Hayleigh was absolutely incredible during her check‑in visits with Luna and Charles over the past couple weeks. Her communication was flawless—transparent, detailed, and consistent every single day. I always knew exactly how the pups were doing, and it was clear they adored her. She cared for them as if they were her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!

“Megan took such good care of my kitties when I was away! She was flexible and filled out a rover card so I could easily see when she arrived and left and all the care she provided for them! I would recommend her for any cat care!”
“Abigail was great with our two cats! She gave us peace of mind while traveling and was even able to give our older cat her subcutaneous fluids while we were gone! She let us know how each visit went and sent pictures.”
“Goose loves Ashley to bits so we couldn't be happier to have Ashley as our sitter! She sends the absolute cutest photos of our notoriously difficult to photograph kitty. She works with us to keep Goose close to her feeding schedule as well which makes us and Goose happy. As a fellow Rover sitter, I highly recommend her!”

“Jonathan was super responsive and willing to do a meet and greet with us. Our dog can be nervous around bigger dogs, so this was really helpful.

We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at.

We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)

About: Hello! A little bit about me: A student who is crazy about animals and would take care of your lovely friend/son/daughter (haha) as if they were part of my family . I was raised around dogs and cats and when I grow up, I decided that I would want to work for their own good. I was part of an Animal Welfare Organization in my hometown and hosted some homeless dogs and cats and took care of them until we find a new family for them. I'm so grateful for everything I've done for the animals, and if I could, I'd do way more. I live in a house with a big fenced backyard, your pet will have plenty of space to play. I also have a 1 year old very friendly Pomeranian who loves to have play dates ❤️

At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.

Thank you Akita!”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid growing up with German Shepards from all kind of different backgrounds. I graduated from a military college this spring where I learned discipline, responsibility and accountability amongst many other very crucial life skills. Skills that are needed when taking care of another persons beautiful dog. I’m currently unemployed looking for a job so I am very available for your needs everyday and can be there upon short notice. I figured with my love of dogs and having a lot of free time this would be a perfect way to fill it. I love playing with my sister’s dog, he is an all black German Shepard around 2 years old and he is the sweetest thing. I love to get them moving and make sure they’re getting there steps in!

“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“This was Pal’s second time visiting Hailey and he had such a wonderful time! He settled right in and Hailey was great at keeping us posted on how Pal was doing. We can’t wait to book with Hailey again!”
“Emily always does a great job keeping our boy when we go out of town! She keeps us in the loop as to how he is doing, with daily updates and pictures. I definitely always have peace of mind when our boy is with her. Highly recommend!”
“Avery agreed to watch our sweet Nim the day of & exceeded every expectation!! She worked so well with us, sent us daily updates, and welcomed Nim right into the family!”
“Tammi took amazing care of our 3 dogs recently. Her house is a doggie paradise! The yard was incredible. All 3 were well cared for and her communication 10/10. Don’t hesitate in booking Tammi.”
“I was super nervous to leave my dog when going on vacation with my family as she was spayed a few days before and I wasn’t sure how she would be. Katie and her family loved BiBi like their own and my mind was at ease after the first day she sent me pictures and gave me an update. BiBi seemed to really enjoy her time with Katie and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous to leave their dog.”
