“Katie did a wonderful job of caring for our 16 yr old dog! We could tell she made our dog feel right at home. We also enjoyed the photos and seeing how relaxed our dog was.”

“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”

“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”

“We are so grateful for Brandi and her family! They took care of our dog for 15 days while we were on vacation. Brandi sent us lots of pictures and it was apparent that our dog was well-loved! They took her on walks, snuggled her, and even bought her a Christmas gift from Santa! Brandi was very quick to respond and was very accomodating. We will definitely have Brandi and her family watch our dog again!”

“Brenna welcomed our beagle on his first stay away from us. Her chill manner and gentle encouragement made me feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend to others and rebook again myself.”

“Melissa and her family were great! We could tell our dog was well-taken care of and very comfortable with them. Our dog's food and medicine schedule was accommodated without hesitation. Melissa asked if we like photo updates - we do! - so she sent us a few sweet pictures of what our doggo was up to over the weekend. If we are ever in need of pet sitting again, we would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa.”

“Great family and great experience. We had a last minute need and Carine and Eric were very accommodating, sent lots of updates, and we can tell our dog was safe and well taken care of.”

“Andrew and his family including Gunner are fantastic hosts for Ollie who feels right at home. With the updates and pictures I can see that Ollie had a very good time. I also really appreciate how quickly Andrew communicates. It is always an excellent stay. Thank you!”

“Kristen and family were fantastic with our (almost) 7 year old Goldendoodle. She shared a few pictures while we were away and it's instantly clear they treated our dog as if she had been with the family her entire life. Can't recommend enough!”

“After our meet & greet with Beth, we knew River would be in good hands. As a rescue, his care is somewhat unique. Beth did a professional job assimilating him into her home and in meeting her dogs. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her to other pet owners.”

“Emily and her family took the BEST care of our dog, Archie. They made Archie feel right at home. I was sent pictures that showed just how comfortable Archie was, he was happy and truly, living his best life!! Emily's family dog, Maggie, was so sweet and the two dogs really seemed to get along well. I would absolutely recommend Emily for your pet's stay. Her and her family were SO kind and easy to communicate with, very prompt and helpful. This was our first "Rover" experience and I feel so fortunate we found this wonderful family.”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“Dayjah was great. We had booked with a different Rover originally for the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, they were unable to dogsit for use at the last minute. Dayjah came to the rescue. She was very communicative, and sent daily updates and lots of pictures. Her home was perfect for Koda, with a big fenced yard for him to explore. Thanks again!”

“⸻ I found Shelby K. on Rover, and this is the second time I’ve booked her to care for my 10-year-old dog, Marley. Once again, she did a fantastic job—taking Marley on multiple walks each day and sending plenty of photo updates that gave me such peace of mind. Marley always looks happy and relaxed with her, which says so much about Shelby’s caring and reliable nature. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone on Rover looking for a thoughtful, caring, dependable sitter!”


“Bethany and family were so wonderful to our "little old lady" dog, Bailey. Sent updates with pictures to make sure we knew she was well! Would use her again and highly recommend!”

“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”

“So thankful to have found Ana and Michael to care for our dog. They provided such loving care that made Juni feel right at home and is at ease while on vacation. I definitely recommend them and will be returning for future needs.”

About: I have experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats, since I have had animals at home since I was a child. To me, they are not just pets, but part of the family.

Caring for pets is not just a task for me it’s something I do with love and dedication. 🐾 I currently work during the day, but I am available to care for your pets in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and responsible when you can’t be there, and I am happy to provide loving, attentive care during those times. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I will make sure your pets feel safe and cared for. 🐾 I provide personalized care depending on each pet’s needs and the service requested.

My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, whether they are in my home or theirs.
“Aariyana is amazing.. My dogs are excited to see her every day. She is so good at communicating and giving me updates. She has given me so much flexibility with work, now that I know my girls are taken care of, while Im gone.”
“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”

“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.

“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”

“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”

“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”

“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”

“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”

“We are so grateful for Brandi and her family! They took care of our dog for 15 days while we were on vacation. Brandi sent us lots of pictures and it was apparent that our dog was well-loved! They took her on walks, snuggled her, and even bought her a Christmas gift from Santa! Brandi was very quick to respond and was very accomodating. We will definitely have Brandi and her family watch our dog again!”

“Regina is by far the best dog boarder I have ever had the pleasure of using. She makes being away from your dog so much less stressful. Daily updates and pics. I won't go to anyone else. She's simply the best”

“Melissa and her family were great! We could tell our dog was well-taken care of and very comfortable with them. Our dog's food and medicine schedule was accommodated without hesitation. Melissa asked if we like photo updates - we do! - so she sent us a few sweet pictures of what our doggo was up to over the weekend. If we are ever in need of pet sitting again, we would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa.”

“Great family and great experience. We had a last minute need and Carine and Eric were very accommodating, sent lots of updates, and we can tell our dog was safe and well taken care of.”

“Andrew and his family including Gunner are fantastic hosts for Ollie who feels right at home. With the updates and pictures I can see that Ollie had a very good time. I also really appreciate how quickly Andrew communicates. It is always an excellent stay. Thank you!”

“Kristen and family were fantastic with our (almost) 7 year old Goldendoodle. She shared a few pictures while we were away and it's instantly clear they treated our dog as if she had been with the family her entire life. Can't recommend enough!”


“Valerie and her family, including the lovely Daisy, are wonderful and took our dog Felix in as their own. We felt like he was in great hands during our trip. We would absolutely choose to work with Valerie again. What a great experience!”

“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”

“Dayjah was great. We had booked with a different Rover originally for the Thanksgiving weekend. Unfortunately, they were unable to dogsit for use at the last minute. Dayjah came to the rescue. She was very communicative, and sent daily updates and lots of pictures. Her home was perfect for Koda, with a big fenced yard for him to explore. Thanks again!”

“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”

“⸻ I found Shelby K. on Rover, and this is the second time I’ve booked her to care for my 10-year-old dog, Marley. Once again, she did a fantastic job—taking Marley on multiple walks each day and sending plenty of photo updates that gave me such peace of mind. Marley always looks happy and relaxed with her, which says so much about Shelby’s caring and reliable nature. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and I feel very lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone on Rover looking for a thoughtful, caring, dependable sitter!”


“Bethany and family were so wonderful to our "little old lady" dog, Bailey. Sent updates with pictures to make sure we knew she was well! Would use her again and highly recommend!”

“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”

“Our dog was so well cared for by Ashley and her family! She has stayed with them multiple times and we always get countless pictures of her spending time with the family, playing, and out on walks! Would highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter to anyone!”

“So thankful to have found Ana and Michael to care for our dog. They provided such loving care that made Juni feel right at home and is at ease while on vacation. I definitely recommend them and will be returning for future needs.”

“Kiersa was wonderful with our dog. She was kind, caring and clearly had experience caring for animals. She was very responsive whenever I communicated with her. She made me feel very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We will definitely use her again!”

“Ann was amazing. She took care of our senior dog with some medical needs and aging and gave Louise exactly what she needed with such positive kindness. We got pictures and videos and felt like our sweet little old lady dog was truly in the best care during our trip. I will definitely use Ann again because she was incredible.”
