“Melissa did a great job taking care of yummy! We had a two-week extended stay. She shared photo updates regularly and flags issues proactively. Would recommend to anyone.”
“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”
“Julie and Tiffany are the best! They took wonderful care of our dog and sent some great pictures that showed how happy he was. We are first time users and always used kennels to board him in the past. Never again! Thank you Julie and Tiffany for doing such a great job!”
“Kira and Steve are fantastic! They go out of their way to make sure Jax feels comfortable, and us too ... by sending lots of great pics and updates! We love the playtime he gets with other dogs there. We never like leaving Jax, but knowing how comfortable he is at Kira and Steve's makes us feel so much better :). Thanks!”
“This was the second boarding service with Stacy. Stacy was very considerate and did an incredible job of taking care of Charlie and Joey. I know my dogs loved to staying with Stacy because she has a fenced backyard and they love to running around off leash anytime they want. Highly recommend her!”
“We first met Briana before leaving our 2 dogs, and we knew immediately that she was the caring, dog loving person others have commented about. So, we ended up leaving our 2 dogs with Briana for a long weekend. The drop off was amazing, as the dogs were welcomed as if they lived there. Throughout the weekend we received pictures, and when we picked them up, it was clear that they had a great time. We highly recommend Briana, and look forward to the next time she will watch our dogs!”
“Jen and her family took good care of Leia. She was healthy, happy, and appeared well when I picked her up after her four day stay. I will ask her to watch Leia again in the future!”
“Mike is such an easy going and warm guy. Our pup Red was instantly comfortable in his home. We received daily pics and we saw nothing but a happy pup! Thank you Mike!”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“Paola and her husband are amazing! My dog has an anxiety disease which has been an issue in most sitters houses but he was 100% happy when I got him back and showing no signs of anxiety through his stay. Will be a returning customer! Thank you so much for the peace of mind! I never have seen my dog so happy!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Vignesh is a very professional and caring dog caregiver. He took care of my boy, Goldy for 3 weeks and his daily updates with photos, videos helped me both in not missing Goldy and in knowing that he was in good company (Goldy had peaches, Rico And Wolfie for company during his stay). I’d leave Goldy with Vignesh again when the next opportunity comes and recommend others that are looking for doggy care to choose his services.”
“Erin is a very compassionate and loving sitter. She sent me a video every single day keeping je updated of my dog Hazel’s progress. The kind of care we got from Erin was amazing. She (and her family) truly cares for animals under her care. I would not hesitate to leave my baby girl Hazel with her again. She is an absolutely great human being.”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“I used Rover for the first time time with Emily and she kept me updated with pictures of my Lyla multiple times a day. She made me feel so reinsured and had a great fenced in yard for the dogs to roam. She even let my Lyla sleep with her which was so sweet! Thank you so much Emily!”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Liliya and her family were great with Sophie. This was Sophie’s first experience staying with a sitter so I was a bit nervous how she would do. During Sophie’s stay Liliya sent many pics and updates about Sophie’s routine. This really put my mind at ease and Sophie seemed very content. I also love that Liliya, her husband and two young kids played a role in the sitting which means Sophie got lots of attention. I highly recommend Liliya! I will be using her again next time I travel.”

“Pia came to the rescue when we unexpectedly needed a sitter for the following day. Pia responded quickly to our request. She maintained communication throughout her days caring for our cat. We looked forward to her regular updates letting us know how our cat was doing. She put us at ease while we were away from our furbaby.”
“Sydney was amazing! She took excellent care of my three cats. The most shy of the group even made friends with Sydney! Highly recommend Sydney if you are looking for someone to care for your pets.”
“It was comforting to know that Marcella was here taking care of my cat friend, Sonny. She did a great job communicating what was going on and dealing with my friend who hides from strangers. She was able to bring him out of his shell a bit. Based on my experience, I would recommend Marcella and I expect to ask her to look after my friend in the future.”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our elderly cats, and we were a bit nervous, but Jessica did a great job, everything we asked her to do. Our boys seemed to take to her right away and it was comforting for us to know that their needs were being met so that we could enjoy our trip. She sent pictures of both of them everyday and gave a nice report, letting us know how they were doing and what she had done in interacting with them. I would highly recommend Jessica and we will definitely use her again!”
“Nicole was great and my cat loved her! She kept me up to date with lots of pictures and texts during her visits which was awesome. It made leaving my cat at home a little easier knowing Nicole was checking in on her and giving her lots of love.”
“Brianna was great with my cat Addie, who's usually afraid of most strangers. I could see from the photos sent with each visit that Addie was happy, playful and eating. It was a huge relief to know she was in such good hands with Brianna! I'd highly recommend her services and will definitely book her again any time I go away.”
“Stephanie has been awesome with my cat!! She was extremely flexible as our travel plans had to change and made sure our furry friend was in the best company while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring Stephanie for all of our future visits!”
About: With hands-on experience working at a doggy daycare and caring for pets both in my own home and in clients’ homes, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels!

The rest of my schedule and availability is on my calendar!

In both my home and my clients’ homes, I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention, and affection! I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping an energetic pet active or giving a more anxious pet extra patience and pets! My goal is always to make pets feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Maanya took great care of our cat! She made sure he was comfortable around her and he warmed up to her quickly. She also promptly responded to all my messages and requests. I highly recommend her!”
“Amy took very good care of my two cats. She sends pictures to me everyday which is a blessing, knowing that the kitties are doing good. She is very responsive and easy to communicate. Would recommend to everyone in need a kitty friend.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: My very friendly little dog and I would love to host your dog here with us, up to 40 pounds only though...Or if your pal would benefit from a playmate, we would love to come sit for you! Well first off, I've been trusted with the care of many precious pets for years now...And enjoy it very much...I am fun, caring, and engaging, as well as all ble's, reliable, dependable, and responsible! And I took a CPR pet course, and human one as well. I have had cats mostly all my life, and now own a small dog of my own, who as I stated earlier, could, or doesn't have to if need be, come with me, as some love to have a playmate for their pet...And I know my friendly little guy very much enjoys the visit. But with anyone coming to my home, my guy will be there too, and they must all be friendly, and then we have nothing but a good time. Which brings me to, I can watch any animal, esp in the animals home and of any size...It is my home that, as also mentioned above, I would only be able to take in a small or medium sized dog, cat, or caged pet. And my home, that I live in with just my little guy, is pretty open and spacious for dogs to move around, and I have fenced in my backyard just off the back door porch for even more run around fun. And now onto my prices, I had to do additions a certian way on here...As to plus a cat if I'm also coming to care for your dog...But I can always modify and give a discount if say you have many plus one cats in your home so it doesn't keep plus one'ing a fee...Or if you have wonderfully easy small dogs, I would not keep plus one'ing for those and would find a nice set fee, and especially if my little guy could also come enjoy them, or they could come spend the time with us...It's the large ones that can be more of a handful and take a bit more doing often times, that I have to have it set that way for. And I did just recently up my prices some as I've noticed that Rover charges per night and I am not loving that, I always on my own charge per day, so I up'd my prices some to reflect that. But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be. I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.
“We connected with Bridget for some last-minute day care services. She was very responsive and accommodating. After our initial meet-and-greet, our dog made herself right at home when we dropped her off for her first day at daycare. We felt comfortable and at ease leaving our dog in Bridget's care along with her dogs Mac and Zuzu (who are both very sweet!). She also sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which we very much appreciated. We highly recommend!”
“I dropped off my puppy at Jacqueline’s apartment at 7 AM. She took great care of her, walking her and sending me updates via pictures (though she didn’t have to)! Thank you so much, Jacqueline!”
“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”
“Paola and her husband are so great! They communicated throughout the day, and sent pictures of two very happy dogs spending time in their home. I’m glad we found them. Max and Mylo will be back soon!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and foster puppies and adult dogs as well. We also have chickens. I love animals of all types and understand how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with their care. I am a Registered Nurse and caring for animals comes as natural to me as caring for people. Caring for your pets gives me the flexibility to spend time with them but also be available as a mom. My daughter loves animals and is very helpful and loving. I have a flexible work schedule and mostly work from home. I am able to interact while working and provide frequent potty breaks and extra attention as needed. I do feed separately to avoid food aggression issues which can sometimes happen in new environments. I have 2 dogs of my own and a fenced in yard. There is plenty of space to run and play and also lounge and nap! We’d love to know what your dog's typical routine is at home as well as any behaviors (food/toy aggression) or quirks we should be aware of. I will do my best to accommodate any special needs. Please let us know if they are on any medications or have any health issues. I DO NOT accept dogs that are aggressive, excessive barkers, non-house trained, destructive, or have severe separation anxiety. All dogs who stay in our home must be well socialized, healthy (i.e. not sick with any contagious diseases that could be passed onto humans or other dogs) and up to date on their vaccines and flea/tick preventatives. Required vaccinations: Rabies Distemper Bordetella (kennel cough)
“Stephanie was incredible! This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter I didn’t know, and Stephanie helped me to feel so comfortable! She sent so many updates throughout the day and answered any questions I had. I knew Beanie was in good hands! I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: Since I was 13 years old, I've had 7 dogs in my life: a Golden, a Border Collie, a Bernice Mountain Dog, two mutts, a King Charles Cavalier and a Cockapoo. Each of these dogs lived an average of 14 amazing puppy, mid-life and senior joyful years. I learned as a child and then as an adult, that dogs abound with joy when given a consistent, kind, safe and loving environment. I adore dogs and the energy they bring. They teach us how to live life to the fullest and maybe even teach us how to love. My friends know this about me. They're always asking me to take care of their dogs. They call me the dog whisperer. They trust me. Your dog will be at home in my care. A walk every 2-3 hours, some play, a snack (if allowed), a good snooze and we'll do it all over again. As described below, your pet will be with me much of the day. I work from home on the computer and can take numerous breaks throughout the day to walk and play with your best friend. See below for our daily routine. Your dog and I will take a long walk the morning. If they're a ball chaser, there's a fenced in area at the local park where we'll spend some time running after balls. After the walk/run, we'll hang together as I work for a few hours on the computer. Mid-morning, we'll spend some time in my backyard on a leash making sure they get additional air and a pee. At noon, they'll get another walk around the block, have a mid-day snack (if allowed) and then while they nap, I'll work some more until quitting time when we'll go for another long walk or run. And of course what they care most about, breakfast, lunch or dinner will be served according to their routine. After the evening walk, we'll read or watch some TV while we relax on the couch. Bedtime is around 11 in which a quick backyard pee prior to bed. Depending on their preference, they can sleep on my bed or if they're crate trained and you or they would prefer that, they'll rest in the crate for the evening in my bedroom. And the next day, we'll do it all over again.
About: Hello nice to meet you! I am not simply boarding your pet. I am playing with them and taking them for walks and spoiling them. Im offering services for fun not a necessity. I work from home and your pet will be taken care of and monitored constantly as if it was my own the entire time. Your furry friend is my friend too. Clean & Professional. I have a great career that allows me to work from home. I do rover for fun. When you book with me you are booking someone who gives full attention to your pet. Safety first! I would be scared to leave my dog with someone. All pets deserve a pleasant experience. With me you can feel safe your pet is in good hands, you are welcome to visit my home for boarding!
“Andrew is great and very responsive. Whiskey had a good time and he’s surely been in great hands. Would definitely ask Andrew to watch Whiskey again! Thank you Andrew for taking care!!”
“We brought our Falco for daycare with Misael and we were so happy with the service!! Misael was super responsive and Falco seemed very happy to be there. Misael sent pictures and updates regularly. There was a nice yard and Falco was able to roam around to his heart’s content. Falco is a big boy and Misael and his family treated Falco like their own. We will be using his service again soon for overnight boarding and feel really comfortable with them. Thanks for making us feel like Falco is safe with you!!! Highly recommend!!”
About: My husband and I live with our 7 and 4 yr old girls in a sidewalk lined Westborough neighborhood. In your reservation, please mention any behavioral patterns or phobias. (Does your dog take a while to do business outside? Does he or she squat several times? How long can he or she go without potty breaks? Do we have a runner?) Bring your pup, I'll bring the love and care! P.S. Please bring a crate for your dog if in the past, your dog has gotten into things and chewed. Many dog owners find themselves surprised that their dogs may exhibit destructive behavior at a sitter's house that they do not exhibit at home, like chewing and tearing things up. Your dog, in this case, will only be crated while we are out of the house. My husband works full-time, while I am home intermittently. But your baby will get lots of attention. During the weekdays, the house sits empty anywhere 3-5hrs. Your pet must be OK with that. I grew up with dogs: Scottish Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Rottweiler, Dachshunds, Chinese Crested, and Silky Terriers are the dogs my family members have owned and loved in my lifetime. I have no dogs of my own (anymore), but two little girls who just love and crave a dog in the house. If your dog is a no-no on little kids, this will not be a good fit for you.
“Our pup has enjoyed spending days with Dawn and it is especially nice for us to have a place where she can comfortably interact with young children, as we don’t have that opportunity to offer her at home. Dawn also has a great fenced in backyard with lots of interesting things to smell and ways to run around and work off energy, which is great for both our pup and for us when we pick her up and know that she’s had a fun filled active day!”
About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog owner since the age of 13. Dogs are a part of my life and are so healing to the soul. I’ve had years of experience in loving and taking care of these fur babies. I do well with following instructions, being respectful, and creating a safe space & home for your pups. I would consider myself to be a great and responsible dog mom, sitter, and would love and take care of your dog like my own. I’m a stay at home mom and have the time to take care and play with your pups. I have space in my backyard for playtime and potty time and live in a beautiful neighborhood to go on walks for fresh air and exercise. My family spends a lot of time outside and so will your pup (weather permitting of course). I’m available during weekdays and weekends. My services include boarding and doggy day care. I have a backyard and beautiful deck to get plenty of playtime and sunshine. I also live right across the street from a large park that we can take trips to. I have a small and friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I will keep your dog on a leash while outside and/or can close off the deck for a more secure area.
“Kona had a wonderful time at Joanne's and she came home completely exhausted! Joanna kept in contact with us all day sending pictures and even videos! Will be using her next time we need a place for Kona to stay!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs since high school! Friends have always called me the dog whisperer. Extremely patient with dogs and worked at a dog salon as a dog bather for 4 years. I do currently have a dog of my own, Bob. He is still working on his socialization skills (very high energy/playful), so we’d love that your pup is able to be patient with him as we are teaching him calm behaviors! I’m currently working hybrid and am home for 4/5 days and will closely monitor your dogs. My partner, Dylan, works at home for all days of the week. We both work together to make sure my puppy and yours are interacting well with each other and are having a good time! I have an unfenced yard, but will always take your dog out leashed. Your dog will be a part of our family during the stay and is allowed on all furniture. My dog sleeps in his crate at night, so to be fair - I will need to have your dog sleep on the floor by our bed at night!
About: I have a yorkie that I have taken care of for 7 years. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for two years which got me accustomed to all sorts of dogs! I currently work as a host at cheesecake and am a full time student at northeastern, I currently am taking summer courses and have more time to myself. I walk, feed and play with my dog! I also did the same for the dog shelter as I played, trained and walked the dogs there.
“Corrine took such AMAZING care of our little havanese. Her dogs are amazing and play well with smaller breeds and the space they have for the dogs to run around is so great. Would highly recommend!”
“Jeanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog. We’ve never boarded our shelter dog with a stranger before and were a bit nervous. Jeanna sent regular updates and pictures throughout the day and took excellent care of him. We would rebook with her again in an instant.”

“Pia has been talking Pudge for walks twice a week for me. She is always on time, communicates well and is very respectful and understanding. Pia is great with Pudge and he is so excited when she arrives for his walks. I Continue to have Pia come twice a week for Pudge and I am grateful that I have her.”
About: My first dog was a 105-lb lab mix who had failed obedience school. I'm also a mom of 7 with the energy to match. Exuberant pets are welcome! Messes don't scare me! I can handle your dog, cat, or other furry friend. I'm home with my kids on a daily basis and rarely gone more than a 2-hour stretch. The days that I am unavailable are noted on my profile. I have lots of availability! I have a large, fenced-in yard. Our only pets are chickens, who can stay in their coop if necessary. Smoke-free home with plenty of people to give your pet attention and love!
“Nicole was great and exceeded my expectations. She came over to meet our dogs before we left on vacation and they instantly liked her. While on vacation she sent videos and pictures after every walk and was ALWAYS on time. She made my vacation worry free and I can’t thank her enough!”
“Sydney took great care of my dog Tessie when she was unable to go to daycare for several months and needed drop in walks instead. She was always reliable, on time, and communicative and I would strongly recommend her to any other dog parent!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats. I have always been involved in pet care, as early as 9 years old by feeding my family cats and walking my dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs, giving them their shots. I also have experience with anxious dogs, especially ones that come from troubled pasts. I am a college student currently home for the summer so I have plenty of time to devote to taking care of your pups or cats! I am experienced with dogs that tug on leashes or aren’t exactly well trained. I am good at reading dogs’ emotions and giving them what they need. I am also detail oriented and will make sure to follow any instructions left for me to the T.

“Our dog Barfee had a great time with Natalie! She’s very caring, reliable and good with communication and sending us pictures of him on their walks. Would definitely book her again!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 2.5 years, I have worked at a dog shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in handling, walking, feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and providing enrichment for dogs with a variety of needs. I am more than comfortable working with energetic puppies, shy or nervous dogs, large dogs, and senior dogs who require special attention. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience while giving dog owners peace of mind. I am currently home from college for the summer and have high availability throughout the week and the weekend. I am accustomed to maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and providing consistent care throughout the day. I understand the importance of reliability and communication, and I work hard to ensure that each dog’s routine is followed as prescribed by the owner. Safety is my top priority when caring for dogs. My own dog who recently passed away, as well as my shelter experience, have taught me how to recognize body language, manage introductions, handle dogs safely on walks, and respond calmly in any situation. I am consistently able to carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines. When caring for a dog in a client’s home, I treat both the home and the dog with the utmost respect and professionalism. I believe trust is earned through consistency, communication, and dependable care, and I strive to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved.
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.

But have noticed that I am still under many, esp when it comes to multiple pets, and so that is good. So you can always send me a msg and we can discuss any and all options. I can often work staying elsewhere into my routine, even if many miles away...Pop ins as well can be worked in more easily than not...Esp when it's on the way to work or right near work...And my work schedule often varies and can be shifted if need be. I put a certain radius...But I have stayed in homes miles and miles away, out of state even, just ask if it's doable, it very well may be! But for pop ins and walks, I would prefer to travel within 10 miles or so from my home only. So I did just update this for a 45 miles out, but obviously I cannot be doing a pop in or daily walk so far away. I care for pets in my home or their home the same way I care for my pet in his home...With the added, well, additions that your pet may need. My home is often more foolproof safe...Such as I have an indoor fenced area around my front door...And I do sometimes bring something similar with me to others homes...I prefer to be (overly) safe than sorry.
About: I have been a true pet lover my entire life. Now I raise two daughters who feel the same way. There has never been an animal we did not love. I have been the one all of my friends and family always rely on to help walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets. I have a lot of energy so love being active and going on walks and hikes and running around with a dog. I am happy to have an animal cuddled onto my lap and do not even mind being licked all over my face! I treat every pet as if it was my own. I trained two dogs from 8 weeks old, on so understand what it takes. I have had a cats my entire life and I love kitties as well! I am comfortable with big and small animals. My children are the biggest animal lovers I know and both want to be vets when they grow up. We would treat your pet like it was our own with more love than you can imagine! My girls and I are around most of the summer, as I work in a school. We are very active so we would love to be out and about walking and taking care of your dog or taking care of your cats! If I were to come to your home and take care of your pet or walk your dog, I would be very comfortable letting myself in and approaching any time of animal. I would give them all the love in the world an any care or exercise they need!

About: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. In addition to caring for cats, I've looked after dogs for friends and family, ranging from small Yorkiepoos to large German Shepherds. My experience includes walking dogs, providing daily care, staying in owners' homes for extended periods, and taking dogs on hikes and outdoor adventures to keep them active and engaged. I believe pets thrive with a balance of affection, play, consistency, and structure. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently finishing my degree and preparing to start my professional career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Outside of school, I help care for my nephews once a week and play volleyball a few times each week. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I'm happy to work with each client's schedule to ensure their pets receive the care, companionship, and routine they're used to while their owners are away. While I am unable to host pets in my home due to HOA restrictions, I am happy to care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. When house sitting, I make it a priority to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, playtime, and any household rules. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. In addition to pet care, I am happy to help with basic house-sitting tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash, and helping maintain the home while you're away.

“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”
“Julie and Tiffany are the best! They took wonderful care of our dog and sent some great pictures that showed how happy he was. We are first time users and always used kennels to board him in the past. Never again! Thank you Julie and Tiffany for doing such a great job!”
“Kira and Steve are fantastic! They go out of their way to make sure Jax feels comfortable, and us too ... by sending lots of great pics and updates! We love the playtime he gets with other dogs there. We never like leaving Jax, but knowing how comfortable he is at Kira and Steve's makes us feel so much better :). Thanks!”
“This was the second boarding service with Stacy. Stacy was very considerate and did an incredible job of taking care of Charlie and Joey. I know my dogs loved to staying with Stacy because she has a fenced backyard and they love to running around off leash anytime they want. Highly recommend her!”
“We first met Briana before leaving our 2 dogs, and we knew immediately that she was the caring, dog loving person others have commented about. So, we ended up leaving our 2 dogs with Briana for a long weekend. The drop off was amazing, as the dogs were welcomed as if they lived there. Throughout the weekend we received pictures, and when we picked them up, it was clear that they had a great time. We highly recommend Briana, and look forward to the next time she will watch our dogs!”
“Jen and her family took good care of Leia. She was healthy, happy, and appeared well when I picked her up after her four day stay. I will ask her to watch Leia again in the future!”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“Paola and her husband are amazing! My dog has an anxiety disease which has been an issue in most sitters houses but he was 100% happy when I got him back and showing no signs of anxiety through his stay. Will be a returning customer! Thank you so much for the peace of mind! I never have seen my dog so happy!”
“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Vignesh is a very professional and caring dog caregiver. He took care of my boy, Goldy for 3 weeks and his daily updates with photos, videos helped me both in not missing Goldy and in knowing that he was in good company (Goldy had peaches, Rico And Wolfie for company during his stay). I’d leave Goldy with Vignesh again when the next opportunity comes and recommend others that are looking for doggy care to choose his services.”
“Erin is a very compassionate and loving sitter. She sent me a video every single day keeping je updated of my dog Hazel’s progress. The kind of care we got from Erin was amazing. She (and her family) truly cares for animals under her care. I would not hesitate to leave my baby girl Hazel with her again. She is an absolutely great human being.”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“I used Rover for the first time time with Emily and she kept me updated with pictures of my Lyla multiple times a day. She made me feel so reinsured and had a great fenced in yard for the dogs to roam. She even let my Lyla sleep with her which was so sweet! Thank you so much Emily!”
“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”
“Heather, My experience with you was nothing short of amazing for both my dog, Sawyer, and myself. Even before booking, you showed a genuine interest in learning all about Sawyer. It was clear that you not only love dogs but truly wanted to make him feel welcome in your home. You provided a dog-friendly environment and kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos through the Rover app. Thank you for taking such great care of him. He’s really looking forward to his next visit with you. BTW, he enjoyed the rest of his Birthday Cupcake! Warm regards, Brian”

I would highly recommend them if you want the best care for your furry family member!! 5 star experience all around!🐕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
