“Min and Matt were a last minute booking, but they worked out so well. I was even able to stay an extra day on my vacation while they kept my pup. They made sure to walk and play with him multiple times a day. He was very well cared for and smiled his time at their house. I would highly recommend using them in the future.”
“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Highly recommend!!!! We are repeat customers because our two labs love Joel and Janelle! They shower our dogs with extra love and attention. They give the dogs extra play time in their extra large fenced in yard. Joel and Janelle are so friendly and have great communication.”
“Barbara was one of the best hosts I’ve ever booked. She’s so kind, incredibly experienced with a variety of breeds, and has amazing intuition when it comes to meeting your pup’s needs. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and I was so comforted by the fact that I knew my darling dog was having a blast and was in great hands. I can’t wait to rebook!”
“Chris is an amazing sitter and has a wonderful family. He took Jett on walking trails, fed him, and played with him. In addition, he sent pics throughout the stay. I could tell my doggy really enjoyed his time with Chris. I will be using him again in the future.”
“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”
“Charity is so easy to work with. We travel a lot for sports and never really know when we are going to be back but Charity works with us to figure out what works best for us and her family. And we love the pictures she sends!”
“I’m afraid to leave a review because I don’t want Jeannie and Robert to get all booked up!!! Jeannie LOVES little fur babies and treated Peanut as if he was one of her own. I was able to have an anxiety free 2 week trip to Europe because of the care and attention that Peanut received in Jeannie and Robert’s home. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Ellen! You have done it again. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups. I love when Maya just doesn’t want to leave because she loves the farm. That’s how much they love you. THANKS!”
“The Best Sitter in VA! She watched over our furry one for 3 yrs. We had to move due to military orders and it sucked to move away from a trusted person like Tamara. Highly Recommended.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“Olivia took great care of Mocha and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about him. I really appreciated the peace of mind and would definitely recommend her.”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful with our new puppy. It was our first time leaving her overnight, and the videos and pictures were very reassuring. I know she was loved and well taken care of!”

“Lauren took such good care of our two cats Misty & Cleo, while we were gone for a month! They were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. She was always on time for our twice daily visits, and we appreciate the daily updates. We have already booked her for our upcoming summer trips!”
About: I have a passion for animals and helping those who need their pet to have company. I have the kids who can make sure they get lots of play time and cuddles. And a middle aged golden retriever to have a friend to play with too I am a stay at home mom who will be so happy to watch your dogs. I am available Monday through Sunday and the time is flexible. Our yard is fenced in so they can be let out anytime. We do have fenced in chickens a d ducks. We also have our own dog a golden retriever as well as a rescue fenchie who would love a friend to play with.
“This is the first time I have ever written an online review for anything. However, I have decided, in this case, a review is very much warranted. I needed a cat sitter for two trips that were only a few weeks apart. From my first meeting with Heather prior to my first trip to return home after my second trip, I never once worried about the care my cats were receiving. She was an absolute delight to work with. From the very first request to cat sit the communication was phenomenal. I loved that she didn't try to "force" herself onto my shyer cats like so many people try to do. She knew some cats will only accept you on their own terms with their own timeline. Heather was kind enough to roll my trash can to the street for pick up day and move it back to the house afterwards, and she washed up cat dishes even though I told her originally that she didn't have to do that! For those that are looking at costs, yes there are some sitters that have cheaper prices. I am also here to tell you that you will absolutely not regret booking Heather for your pet care needs. You will not worry if you know she is in charge of your fur babies. She does not treat pet sitting as a nice side job to make extra money. Heather knows she is responsible for members of your family and she takes that job very seriously. I will absolutely use Heather again in the future, as long as she is able and willing as well. Thank you, Heather!”
“Teri is a great cat sitter. She was 100% reliable, and gave me regular feedback. Buddy took to her right away, and, from the pictures, apparently enjoyed her visits. Upon my return, I found him healthy & happy.”
“Matthew came last minute for me and did a phenomenal job. I have a Cane Corso and German Shepherd and he handled both without any issues. Def will be using him again and highly recommend him.”
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and I have fostered dogs for 2 years. I love senior dogs as well as puppies. I currently work a full time job, my hours are 8-4 but I am available to stay overnight. I am available on weekends and if needed I can go before and always after work! I have a big yard and 2 friendly dogs that love to play in the yard. I put them on leshes to walk them too.
“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire life, small to large breed, we love dogs! Our little one absolutely loves having them around, being outside, throwing ball, treats, etc. So, your pet would need to be great with kids :) We live in the beautiful Whittier neighborhood with plenty of walking options. Our backyard is enclosed with a high eight foot fence. So, your pet would be plenty comfortable. Or, if you're away, I could come to your pet for their time outdoors. I have a small SUV, so transportation is always an option! We're comfortable letting your pet roam the house while we're here and away. We would only take on more than one dog after talking to the owner of our current stay, and the dogs are compatible, or they come from the same home! With that said, we do not have any four legged pets of our own.... only tanked ones ;) three amano shrimp, two tetras, and two narite snails! So, your pet will have the luxury of our undivided attention! When your pet would come to stay with us, we do ask for as much info/'their 'stuff' as you can bring/provide regarding your pets normal/routine at their home, commands, tricks, toys, food, bedding... etc so your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time here, and so we can keep them in as much of a similar framework as their home. The Rover site allows for pics and videos. So, we like to take a few during their stay and send them to owners! Our current stay and past stays have really enjoyed this! Prior to you or us making a decision on your pets stay, we would like for you all and your pet to visit our home. This will allow you to see and get a sense of our neighborhood and home - where your pet will be staying, and meet us! I hope this has been helpful for you!
“I know Bruno appreciated the attention to his needs and the time spent with him while we were away. We appreciated the convenience and ease of doing business. We love Rover.com and appreciate Holly and others like her who provide such a helpful service to our furry family members when we're away!”

I am a very honest and trustworthy individual whose main goal is to keep clients pets safe as well as keep the owners calm and comfortable with me taking care of their pets.
“Ximena was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and kept me informed about how my cats were doing.. It was great not to have to worry about them when I was away. We are new to the area and will be using her when we travel.”
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life, from senior cats needing extra patience and comfort to raising kittens from two litters born in my home. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable with cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your cat prefers their space or loves constant attention and affection, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable! Just a college student looking to get some extra money doing something I really love.
About: I have much experience caring for cats of varying ages and temperament levels. I've cared for cats with medical conditions and have experience administering medications as directed. I love spending time with cats and reliable to care for their varying needs.

“We knew the minute Heidi met us at the door for our Meet and Greet with Tux, our 13-year old Bichon-Poodle, that we had found the perfect sitter. Tux felt right at home wagging his tail at her kids and Moochie, her Golden Retriever. He sniffed around, as all dogs do, and made his way outside to explore in their fenced-in backyard. We had total peace of mind leaving Tux in her care. She updated us throughout the day with pictures of the kids snuggling and playing with him. We will look no where else when we need someone to care for Tux. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to find the sweetest caregiver for your beloved pets.”

I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us.

“Charity was super responsive and sent pictures of Jax right away! My schedule was a bit in flux and Charity was very understanding and willing to work with me. Jax came home happy and tuckered out from a day of playing!”
“Great experience and service and Boodah loved going back each day. Kierstan was awesome and helped me navigate some tricky scheduling changes around festival performances. 10 stars!”
“My puppy Juicy loves staying with Jeannie! She is so caring and goes above and beyond :). It’s very comforting to know I can drop her off and trust that she will be well taken care of. Puppies can be a lot! —But she is a total pro. Thanks Jeannie and family!”

About: As the proud owners to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, we know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. We will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for our own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and we want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in our care. We live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. We have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. We are currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to our family in our home! My whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. I want your pets to feel as safe as my own. I currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. I'm able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. I treat every animal as if it were my own and provide a level of care that I give my own and that I would expect from my pet care provider.
“Emily is a wonderful, intuitive care person for dogs. She has two dogs of her own and a couple of other dogs that board with her. I have a non-altered female and she cares for a non-altered male. I won't be back because of that, but no fault of Emily's.”
“Renee took great care of our dog at daycare! Good communication and sent pics/updates. Our fur baby came home happy and tired from a day of fun playing with Renee and her two dogs. Would recommend to anyone in need of doggie daycare and will definitely use her services again!”
About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.
About: I've had pets (cats, dogs and bunnies) for as long as I can remember. (40 + years) I have taken care of peoples animals many times throughout my life. I'm known for being an animal lover and have been told that I have a way with them. Even when other people's pets have been afraid of other people their pets have felt comfortable with me. I work from home, and am there most of the time. Our little toy poodle that we've had for 12 years just passed away and we slept with her, held her as we were doing school/ work and took her everywhere with us. So I'm very happy and comfortable having fur babies by my side throughout the day and being with me whatever I am doing. We have a five unfenced acre farm with a horse and a sheep. We don't live on a main road. I'm fine with your pets being out of a crate.
“Charlie did amazing with my dog Zoey. We recently moved to the area and Zoey was very nervous to be at a new house and setting. Charlie understood this and adapted to her hestitant personality by just letting her set boundaries and come to him. Charlie sent daily report cards and after a few days Zoey was more Comfortable with Charlie. I will definitely use him again in the future for daycare and boarding.”
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I’ve worked in a veterinary office for five years—both in the kennel and as a veterinary assistant—so I’m comfortable handling pets with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. I earned my Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and my Master’s in Animal Science from Clemson University. Throughout school, I worked in research labs and on university farms, gaining hands‑on experience with many species and learning how to care for animals in a wide range of situations. I now live in Harpers Ferry with my two dogs and six chickens, and I work for an animal genetics company. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, cattle, goats, and more. I’ve raised orphaned animals, supported very sick pets, and provided long‑term care for elderly companions. My husband also has experience caring for his family’s pets and helps care for ours, so your pet will always have someone attentive nearby. At home, I currently have Hallie, a Brittany spaniel mix, and Beamer, an Aussie mix—both friendly, social pups who love having new friends around. Whether you’re local and planning a getaway or visiting the area and need a trusted sitter, I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own. I work from home so I am able to be with your pet all day for doggy daycare and pet sitting. I am available for drop-in visits during the day in the Harpers Ferry area. I have a large fenced in yard and extra crates! I allow animals do be on my furniture as long as that is what their owner allows. My dogs are very active so frequent walks are great!
About: Through my own dog owning I’ve learned how to keep the peace between many animals. My family loves to bring all our dogs together so my home facilitates pet care. I care for my pets daily and your pet will join our routine and receive care through their entire stay. Interactive activities provided. Sun-Thr available. Fri-Sun case by case basis. I have three dogs, one elderly small dog and two energetic very friendly medium sized dogs. The small one is kept separate and has scheduled potty times. The two others roam free and have scheduled feeding times and activities that your pet can join! My home has a doggy door so outside will be accessible at all times, I have a fenced in yard. If not potty trained, pet will follow my elderly dogs potty routine. Reactive dogs will be kept separate. Please inform of all your pets needs and habits.
“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Abby and her husband were great hosts! Awesome communication and everything was made easy and smooth for a last minute request. Their dogs Maple Syrup and Moose were such good puppy hosts and played well with our dog. We received plentiful videos and pictures of the fun!”

About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.
About: I’ve had dogs as a child and well into my adulthood. We, as a family, have never not had to care for an animal at all different stages. We are definitely a dog family. I have enjoyed caring for friend fur babies as well over the years. Overnight stays, snuggles, play time, walking. bathing, light training, medication and care in late stages of life are all many things I experienced the last 30 years of being a pet owner. I am working part time from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your schedule and any last minute life changes that may arise. I feel keeping our pet’s happy is about their comfort. Toys, item of clothing with owners sent and not shifting their daily schedule is most important when caring for pets while their owners are away. My goal is to keep them in their daily normalcy of comfort, what ever that looks like for each pet , with a lot of extra love or comfortable space they need. A clients home would be treated with the same respect as my own and left as found.
About: I have stepped up and taken care of pets from family members since I can remember. I am very active and love walking and engaging with any dog and being a companion to any furry friend. I have always valued dogs being an integral part of any family. I am a college student but at nights and weekends is when I am most available. Throughout the day I am available in between classes to stop by and check in. Whenever I am home I will offer companionship and am all for frequent walks and/ or playing. I live with 3 other responsible people who love animals and can keep them company as well.
“Selena is great! She's so friendly and thoughtful with her updates on how walks went and taking photos to show my dog is having fun. Definitely happy to have found her, and very grateful for the help!!”
About: I have 7 dogs at my house and been around animals my whole life we have 3 cats as well and chickens! I love taking cares of any time of animal you just need teach me! I am a senior in high school and get out of school around 11:21am and get to my house at 11:30am but anytime from 12 pm to 10pm I will be free! I will offer to feed your pets, buy treats, little bit of exercise and playing, I will make sure they have everything they need and make sure they don’t get into any trouble the best of my ability. And I always make sure my dogs play nice at home we do have two boys who fight but they are separated and live happily in their own worlds lol.
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages from puppy to senior for multiple years now. I have experience watching dogs of varying sizes and energy levels so I can easily adapt to meet whatever their specific needs are. I value giving pets the care and attention they need in order to be healthy and happy! I work part-time so I have gaps in my schedule that caters well to pet care and I have flexibility to take up side jobs like these. I have two dogs at home and have experience administering different medications as well as experience with crating. I also have a fenced yard and the fence is enforced in addition to avoid digging. In other client's homes, I am respectful of their space and their rules for their pets.
About: I have decades of experience with both cats and dogs! I have a reactive/senior dog that I have had since he was a puppy. He also suffered from severe separation anxiety, that I had to help him with when we first got him. I rescued him from the Humane Society. I have had training with him, to help give him his best life. I have experience with both dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten to senior age and every age in between. I do have basic pet training skills, including leash training, as well. I also can administer oral medication when needed for dogs. I have experience with dogs with special needs, such as, blindness and special dietary needs. I have experience with active/herding dogs as well. My senior dog Willow, was a boarder/lab. She recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. She was over 13. She was a very active girl. I also have 2 grand dogs. A 4 year old male Great Dane/hound and a 1 1/2 year old male Australian shepherd. I take care of them from time to time when my family needs me too. I also have several clients that I regularly take care of their pets while they’re either at work or away on vacation. I offer several types of services for your pets. I can do drop ins/potty breaks, walks/playtime or overnight stays when you’re away or on vacation. I also provide photos/videos, so that you can see how much fun your fur baby is having while you’re away! I do have experience with multiple dogs/cats households. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) and helping to provide caregiving services for your pet! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with notice ahead of time. On occasion, I can do non-scheduled pet care times as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions for your pets needs. We can discuss how much time your pet can be left alone, as well as, if they need to be crated while left alone. If I am taking care of your pet while you’re away for overnight stays, I will generally check on your pet every 4 to 5 hours unless noted otherwise.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs, and love all dogs. Neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their dogs. This includes feeding, exercising, medication and play time! I am experienced with handling puppies and with senior dogs as well. I currently don’t have any other commitments, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggies! I’m available Sunday through Saturday all day and or night. I will follow set instructions if you have any in regards to being in your home. Otherwise, I will care for your beloved puppy like they are my own and use my judgment.
About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.

“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Highly recommend!!!! We are repeat customers because our two labs love Joel and Janelle! They shower our dogs with extra love and attention. They give the dogs extra play time in their extra large fenced in yard. Joel and Janelle are so friendly and have great communication.”
“Barbara was one of the best hosts I’ve ever booked. She’s so kind, incredibly experienced with a variety of breeds, and has amazing intuition when it comes to meeting your pup’s needs. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and I was so comforted by the fact that I knew my darling dog was having a blast and was in great hands. I can’t wait to rebook!”
“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Ellen! You have done it again. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups. I love when Maya just doesn’t want to leave because she loves the farm. That’s how much they love you. THANKS!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“Olivia took great care of Mocha and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about him. I really appreciated the peace of mind and would definitely recommend her.”
“This is our second time using Erin. We rearranged our schedule a bit to accommodate her because I was more comfortable using her again than other sitters. I am nervous about leaving my little Lucy with someone because she is pretty used to being home with someone all day. With Erin, she or another family member is home with the dog most if not all the time. She also sends lots of pics and updates which is such a comfort when you are stressed about leaving your dog. My pup seemed vey content and got lots of attention! Would not hesitate to book Erin again!”
“Rover had a great time with his new found friend Butcher. Tara was great at sending daily updates and being accommodating when our flight got delayed. She has a very big fenced backyard for the dogs to play. Rover will be back whenever we are out of town again. Thanks!”
“Our dogs, Homer and Bella absolutely lived staying with Charlie and his family. They liked it so much I was worried as to whether they would want to come back home with us. They had a HUGE yard to play in, a number of other great dogs to romp around with, two of which are Charlie’s, the rest were visitors as well. Charlie did a great job keeping us up to date with frequent updates, pictures and videos. Knowing our fur babies were being so well taken care of made our vacation get away so much more enjoyable. Ae will definitely be using Charlie and Rover again in the future.”
“Ashley was absolutely incredible! Ashley, her husband, and all three of her pups were very inviting to Stella and Luna. They are definitely a dog family and treated ours as one of their own. She constantly sent us updates and made sure that we knew what our dogs were doing at every point. If there was one person I trust to watch our dogs, it’s Ashley. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back!”
“Zeke had a great time at Samantha’s. She gave us constant updates. She took special care of Zeke as he has some hip issues. I glad I found her and would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
“Sadie loves staying with Heidi and her family when we are away. I know she is taken care of and can enjoy our trip! She also loves playing with Heidi's dogs and running in the yard! I appreciate the daily photos and videos Heidi shares of Sadie so much 💖”
“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
