“Emily is the best ever!!! She spends quality time with my little Nelly. She keeps me updated with pictures and messages. I can feel so confident when my Nelly is in her care!!! Can’t say enough about her care for my dog”
“We have complete trust in Todd & Maureen for our somewhat hyper female lab mix. I think she enjoys being there with the other dogs they have and where she can run in their back yard and yet stay indoors as she is used to doing. And I am sure she loves the AC on these very hot days we have had recently. We appreciate the pics and updates while we are vacationing. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young and have experience taking care of a variety of breeds. We have a safe, caring environment for pups that will make them feel like they are at home! We are available for boarding on the weekends, and can watch dogs during the week, but will not be home from 8-3. We have safe spaces for pups to relax during the day. We have a Shih Tzu, Woodson, that stays on our main floor with us most times. We do not have a fenced in yard, so we let him out on a leash. We live in a small neighborhood with little traffic. It is ideal for taking dogs on walks, and our neighbors either leash their dogs or have electric fences. Very safe!
“Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.”
“Once we saw Wendy's place and met her and the family we knew Loki would be with caring hands for his week away from home. Thank you Wendy for your perseverance with Loki's ear treatment!”
“I am so happy we found Kristopher to watch our dog! We received daily updates and photos, and felt like she was very well cared for. Kristopher has a large property and fenced area, so she was able to run around outside as much as she wanted, had other dogs to play with, and a huge living space in the home that was dog friendly. We will not hesitate to use Kristopher’s services again, and are so thankful we now have a place she can be comfortable when we are unable to bring her with us. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Awesome! Booked at the last minute for 15 days. Amelia had an awesome time and well taken care of. Ashleigh handled a medical issue and medication for it. My only fear is Amelia will be sad because our house isn’t as busy or have friends to play with. Communication and pictures were excellent. Definitely will use again!”
“Dan and Kelly were amazing with our two dogs!! This is our first time using Rover and also our first time leaving our pups with someone who wasn’t our family, they are 8 & 9. Though we were fairly short notice, Dan helped walk us through the Rover process, allowed us to do a meet and greet ahead of time, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Not knowing how our dogs would do as a first time away from us with non-family, there was a lot of anxiety on our side and it all was put to rest with videos and pictures of our pups having a great time there! There’s no doubt our dogs have some quirks but Dan and Kelly took amazing care of them and made them/us feel very welcome! Their house is very pet friendly with the toys, beds, and large fenced in backyard. So grateful to have found them, and strongly recommend them for your furry family members!”
“Sabrina was great with our puppy, Winston. It was our first time boarding any of our pets but she eased our minds with a lot of updates and photos/videos. He seemed to have loved his time there and playing with other furry friends.”
“Averi took great care of my Remy boy! She is a kind and thoughtful sitter and very easy to communicate with. She sent pictures during Remy’s stay at her home and assured me he was happy and well taken care of. Prior to Remy’s overnight stay, we met up for a meet and greet. Averi listened to my explanations of Remy’s needs and had no issues understanding and managing his anxiety and reactivity. She made me feel at ease. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“We absolutely love Sheri and her family! They take such good care of Junebug and we feel she is in such good hands! Puggy is a wonderful bonus as well! We can truly relax and enjoy our time away knowing that Junebug is so happy!”
“Amy and Mia are great. Both were wonderful hosts for our dog Ellie. She loved her time with them. Amy was very accommodating to Meet & Greet with us on short notice and made us feel at ease. Amy is very personable and we enjoyed talking with her. Ellie felt like she was HOME away from home and got to hang with another furry friend. What fun!! Ellie was walked and well taken care of during her stay. We received updates and photos. We were blessed to have found such a caring sitter for Ellie. Thank you.”
“Jenny is a fantastic sitter. She takes very good care of our senior dachshund, and updates every day! We feel very comfortable leaving our little Charlie with her.”
“Gabriella was so pleasant to work with and made pick up and drop off a breeze. She sent plenty of pictures and took great care of my dog Murphy! I would definitely use Gabriella again :)”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“Caroline was fantastic! Murphy is 10 and has never been boarded and is an only dog. Caroline immediately made me and Murphy comfortable. Murphy loved spending time with Gator and a couple other dogs, and Caroline sent regular updates. I can’t thank her enough for keeping Murphy for 12 days! Murphy came back happy and I will definitely use Caroline if needed again.”

“Our pet sitter cancelled last minute and my boyfriend and I were very nervous about having a stranger in our home. We ended up asking Laura if she could come visit our cat, and she did an amazing job caring for our pet and helping us feel at ease - we got tons of pictures and updates! We came home and I can already tell Merlin (my cat) appreciated having someone check in on him. Thank you, Laura!”
“Our girl Kaci loves visits with Jackie! Jackie know exactly what Kaci needs and wants and gives it to her! Now, Kaci would like 3 times the food and treats, but Jackie know that isn't in the cards. Sorry Kaci!!!”
About: I am an avid dog trainer and owner. I have raised dogs for the past 5 years, while traveling around the county with my own dogs and those of others for AKC shows. I am a part of a local 4H club, recent graduate, and have attended prestigious events such as the Westminster Dog Show. During this time I have been responsible for dogs own by other people. I have skills with basic and advanced obedience and conformation. Dogs that I have cared for range from puppies to senior dogs. I have a great ability to make connections with all breeds of dogs. I am used to a daily routine of letting dogs out, feeding, exercising, and training. This routine comes very natural for me. I enjoy working with dogs. I am able to keep a balanced and safe schedule for all pets. I am used to meeting the needs for multiple animals. I show responsibility by following clear directions that have been given to me in order to care for the pet.
About: I grew up with cat and dogs, mostly inside cats, and a lot of kittens. I also have grown up with dogs, taking them for many for walks. I love all animals and treating them like family. I am a retired veteran who takes special care with the needs of your fur babies. Whether that means staying in your home or doing drop-ins, I am available. I am very attentive and do not leave animals outside unattended. I am also very respectful and have a great deal in attention to detail. I leave the house sitting the same way it started.
“Kelley was absolutely wonderful! She came over beforehand to meet Koda, which gave me such peace of mind. She was incredibly reliable and kept me updated on when she would arrive and how each drop-in visit went. She spent time playing with Koda and sent me the sweetest pictures, which I loved receiving! She even went above and beyond by bringing in an Amazon package that had been delivered while I was away. I truly appreciated how thoughtful and dependable she was. I highly recommend Kelley and will definitely be using her again in the future! ❤️”
“Where do I begin other than saying 5-stars off the bat! This was our first time leaving our cat and using Rover and Alexandra was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and super communicative from the initial interview and meeting throughout the entire time we were away. She played, fed and took care of all of our cats needs, and the photos she sent were very welcomed so we could see our cat while away. We couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough and we will 110% be using her services again if she is available. Thank you again!”
About: I have taken care of a few puppies and helped them grow up, stay clean, stay fed and watered, and most importantly stayed entertained. A well entertained puppy/dog stays out of trouble. I currently don't have job so I can be available almost any time of the day. I tend to be a night owl so I can stay as late as need. Your pups will be taken out one at a time (if you have 2 or more), will be exercising and walked, I will follow your feeding schedule and amount per meal, and I am give meds if they are dosed beforehand.
About: Hi I'm Kassidy, I am a fun loving animal person, I have taken care of cats since I was a kid, My family and friends have trusted me to, bathe and feed their pets. I only want what’s best for your pet and to make sure your pet is happy :)
“Excellent care. Cat warmed up well and got many pictures and videos of playing and petting, as well as assurance the living space was still clean. Would recommend!”
About: I grew up in a dog oriented family and dog sit regularly. I love all dogs and enjoy spending my time with them. Going for walks, playing fetch or just snuggling. I currently work full time but I do work from home and have my evenings and weekends free. I can also work in other locations if needed. My own pets are well taken care of and loved. I own a large dog you thinks he’s a lap dog. I pay attention to the attitude and behaviors for anything wrong.
About: I’ve been around and cared for cats for practically my entire life! My family fostered cats who had difficulty finding loving homes, including cats with disabilities, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and those who simply needed some extra patience and understanding. Because of this, I’ve learned that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and way of showing trust. I have experience with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who need a gentler approach and extra care. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medications, special needs, enrichment, and giving cats the time and space they need to feel safe around me. I also understand that some cats want constant cuddles while others would much rather have you admire them from across the room—and I’m happy to respect either! Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. My biggest priority is making sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—and making sure you feel reassured knowing they’re in good hands!
About: Neighbors and clients have trusted me in their home to safely care for their cats & I have done just that. It’s a joy and an honor to be able to care for animals this way. It’s a natural dopamine booster for me, as well!

I think she enjoys being there with the other dogs they have and where she can run in their back yard and yet stay indoors as she is used to doing. And I am sure she loves the AC on these very hot days we have had recently. We appreciate the pics and updates while we are vacationing. Highly recommended.”
“Matt was great to work with & took amazing care of our golden doodle. He has separation anxiety & seizures that are typically controlled with medication but in stressful situations he still will have them occasionally. He was obviously very comfortable at Matt’s & had zero issues.”
“Once we saw Wendy's place and met her and the family we knew Loki would be with caring hands for his week away from home. Thank you Wendy for your perseverance with Loki's ear treatment!”
“I am so happy we found Kristopher to watch our dog! We received daily updates and photos, and felt like she was very well cared for. Kristopher has a large property and fenced area, so she was able to run around outside as much as she wanted, had other dogs to play with, and a huge living space in the home that was dog friendly. We will not hesitate to use Kristopher’s services again, and are so thankful we now have a place she can be comfortable when we are unable to bring her with us. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girl!!”
“Awesome! Booked at the last minute for 15 days. Amelia had an awesome time and well taken care of. Ashleigh handled a medical issue and medication for it. My only fear is Amelia will be sad because our house isn’t as busy or have friends to play with. Communication and pictures were excellent. Definitely will use again!”
“Dan and Kelly were amazing with our two dogs!! This is our first time using Rover and also our first time leaving our pups with someone who wasn’t our family, they are 8 & 9. Though we were fairly short notice, Dan helped walk us through the Rover process, allowed us to do a meet and greet ahead of time, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Not knowing how our dogs would do as a first time away from us with non-family, there was a lot of anxiety on our side and it all was put to rest with videos and pictures of our pups having a great time there! There’s no doubt our dogs have some quirks but Dan and Kelly took amazing care of them and made them/us feel very welcome! Their house is very pet friendly with the toys, beds, and large fenced in backyard. So grateful to have found them, and strongly recommend them for your furry family members!”
“Sabrina was great with our puppy, Winston. It was our first time boarding any of our pets but she eased our minds with a lot of updates and photos/videos. He seemed to have loved his time there and playing with other furry friends.”
“Averi took great care of my Remy boy! She is a kind and thoughtful sitter and very easy to communicate with. She sent pictures during Remy’s stay at her home and assured me he was happy and well taken care of. Prior to Remy’s overnight stay, we met up for a meet and greet. Averi listened to my explanations of Remy’s needs and had no issues understanding and managing his anxiety and reactivity. She made me feel at ease. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“We absolutely love Sheri and her family! They take such good care of Junebug and we feel she is in such good hands! Puggy is a wonderful bonus as well! We can truly relax and enjoy our time away knowing that Junebug is so happy!”
“Amy and Mia are great. Both were wonderful hosts for our dog Ellie. She loved her time with them. Amy was very accommodating to Meet & Greet with us on short notice and made us feel at ease. Amy is very personable and we enjoyed talking with her. Ellie felt like she was HOME away from home and got to hang with another furry friend. What fun!! Ellie was walked and well taken care of during her stay. We received updates and photos. We were blessed to have found such a caring sitter for Ellie. Thank you.”
“Jenny is a fantastic sitter. She takes very good care of our senior dachshund, and updates every day! We feel very comfortable leaving our little Charlie with her.”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“Caroline was fantastic! Murphy is 10 and has never been boarded and is an only dog. Caroline immediately made me and Murphy comfortable. Murphy loved spending time with Gator and a couple other dogs, and Caroline sent regular updates. I can’t thank her enough for keeping Murphy for 12 days! Murphy came back happy and I will definitely use Caroline if needed again.”
“Janelle is outstanding. We have used rover in many states during our travels through the last several years as full time travelers and Janelle is the best!! Great communication and care. Would seek her out whenever possible.”
“Jaimee took great care of Fuji! I booked with her for one night super last minute so I was grateful she was able to fit me in. Jaimee was also very flexible with my drop off and pick up time. She sent me an appropriate amount of pictures of Fuji. Fuji was very happy when I brought her home and seemed to have had a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you, Jaimee!”
“Sara and John Patrick took exceptional care of our senior girl. We received regular updates with photos of how she was doing and all of the love she was getting from the family. We are always hesitant to leave her with someone who isn't family, especially as she has gotten older, but we had no concerns after dropping her off. We will highly recommend them to friends and hope to rebook with them when the need arises.”
