“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Our senior spaniel did great spending a long weekend at Holly's house. It was the first time was have done in-house boarding. We definitely prefer having our pup stay with Holly then in a traditional kennel.”
“Jennifer and Ben took care of our little dog for the first time, and we couldn’t have been happier! Everything was easy to organize — they always responded very quickly to our messages and sent us regular updates during the stay. We wholeheartedly recommend them!”
“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Absolutely wonderful. This was Oliver's first time going to a pet sitter. I of course was worried but of course my worry was unwarranted. Oliver had a great time playing with the other dog and came home happy, healthy and exhausted from the ability to play and socialization that dogs need. I would recommend Drew without hesitation.”
“I completely echo the positive reviews from Dondee’s other happy pet parents! Wilson was so well-cared for and we received plenty of updates and cute pictures throughout his stay. He played so much with Dondee’s puppy, Rain, that he had too much fun to miss us. We returned home with a very happy (and tired) pup!”
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“An amazing person to take your pets to, very attentive and caring and even got me a little refund when I didn’t book correctly my first time! Definitely recommend and will be booking Mathew & Angela again.”
“Toni was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. She took great care of Franklin, was flexible to handle the puppy sides of him, and did great at facilitating bonding time for my dog and her grand dog. I would trust to leave Franklin with her again in the future!”
“This was a very positive experience for us with Linda. We met with her first, then left Rosie with her for an hour then off to our River Cruise with Rosie in good hands. Linda sent pics every day and always provided an update. It was so helpful to know things were going well. We will definitely be hoping to have Linda in charge for future needs. She gave such special care to our baby girl!! Highly recommend although we’d like to keep her to ourselves!”
“Holly and Jeremy and family were great! My two dogs were treated like family. I loved getting pictures of them with the kids and family. I didn’t have to worry about them and that means so much. Thank you!”
“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”
“Devon is a very experienced dog sitter. She was intuitive and kind to my Pepper (13 year old German Pincher). In spite Pepper upending her garbage and stealing chicken off the counter she took everying in stride. Devon communicates very well, responding daily with pictures and updates She also has a huge fenced in yard which is a plus.”

“Angelina was very prompt with her messaging. She was reliable as she showed up at the appropriate time and followed my pets care instructions exactly. I came home to find my furry friend properly cared for. I would use her again!”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for family members’ cats while they were away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs—whether they love attention and play or prefer a calmer, quieter approach. My goal is to give both you and your cat peace of mind while you’re apart.
About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.
“These 2 were so wonderful! They took care of our sick kitty so well. He looked comfortable and happy in all their update pictures and they followed our feeding instructions to a T. 10/10 would recommend them.”
About: I have loved cats for my entire life! I have a weak spot for siamese cats especially! I had a diabetic cat as a teenager! I foster cats from time to time and I help feed the strays and keep them dewormed! I try to domesticate kittens a couple of times a year so during those times I won't be taking cats for rover but I will keep my page up to date!

“Ben & Jen were very helpful in taking care of my nervous rescue dogs in helping them get socialized. Ben is very patient and I appreciated them letting my dogs come to their home. Ben was responsive in keeping me informed. Ben & Jen both seem super nice!”
About: I have three cats and I promise to love your cats, dogs, and other pets like my own. I have a lot of experience walking dogs and doing sittings. I have cared for cats and dogs both personally and professionally. You can expect me to treat your pet(s) just as I treat mine, with just as much love and affection. I will make sure they had a long enough walk and follow any specific instructions I am given as I care for your pets. Not only will I walk your dogs but I will do anything additional you need me to before I leave for the day. You can expect nothing less than love to be given. It will be a pleasure walking and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home Mom so my availability is very flexible. I am able to do drop in visits and dog walks right now during any time of the day. I offer drop ins and dog walking right now. I make sure that all of the pets needs are taken care of before I leave. I will love your pets like my own and give them plenty of exercise/love.
“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”
“Matt and Angela took great care of my dog Osi! Osi and their dog, Alfie, had so much fun together. Osi is definitely looking forward to his next play date. Highly recommend Matt and Angela!”
“Rhea was fantastic with Dodger! I needed a sitter within two hours of reaching out to her and she made it happen. Very grateful for her. She's great, trust her with your pup.”
“David was so great. He took Bandido on last minute for an afternoon and evening. Went very smoothly. David was obviously comfortable with big dogs. I will definitely use David in the future.”
About: I am set apart from the other sitters because I have knowledge and experience in the medical field. I was a Vet Tech and have my degree before I became pregnant. I have cared for senior dogs and have a 20 year old Chihuahua. I’ve loved animals since forever. I have a deep passion for helping animals. Your dog will be treated like family while you are away. I provide a safe, comfortable , and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing you pup is happy and cared for. I have a Vet Tech degree but I currently just had my first baby 9 months ago so I am at home watching her, but I would love to get back to caring for animals. I believe I was put on this Earth to nurture and care for animals. One of my favorite things to do is train dogs. I get so many complements on how well my dogs act. I would love to help anyone struggling with behavioral issues. I know how stressful boarding can be. That is why I want to make it as stress free as possible. Our dogs have their own area in the basement so they will never come into contact with your pups and we take walks daily. I also have worked in Vet clinics and know how to give medications and first aid care if needed. I take my boarding very seriously and am committed to making your dog feel the most at home. I finished schooling to become a Vet Technician and than became pregnant. So currently I am at home with my 9 month old. I am eager to get back to caring for animals but also would like to spend time taking care of my daughter as well! I have four dogs and three cats. Our dogs do really well with other dogs but our German Sheperd can be a bit shy at first because he was attacked as a puppy. I know how stressful it can be housing your dogs with other dogs, so to easy your mind I have turned our basement into a dog only zone with toys/kennels/treats where our dogs will stay when I am boarding other peoples dogs, So that they never have to intact with each other. They will be let out separately as well. We don’t have a fenced in yard but we have a decent sized yard and your dogs will be leashes outside at all times.
“Janny & Tramyra we're AMAZING!!!! They accepted my request at the last minute when another sitter bailed on me an hour before the scheduled stay time. They were so kind and friendly and sent tonssss of pictures and my Baxter was having a BLAST!!! His home away from home. Will definitely book again!!”
About: Relocated here from Iowa. Enjoy working with different dogs. Pet lover. I completed 6 months of Veterinarian Assistant classes online. Life happened and I had to take a pause. But I am thinking about going back and finish obtaining my associates degree in the field. So whether it be house sitting with the animals or simply doing some walking or activities, I don't mind and will enjoy my time with them. Its something I enjoy as one of my hobbies. I am available during the week days. Every other weekend I work night shift at this time. I enjoy play time with pets because they too have different personalities. Love Dogs. We cuddle mostly and play. Take walks outside. Play fetch with their toys. It's cool to go to the backyard and be socialable with nature. I think it helps with sensory awareness.

I also have a cat that is trained to sit, spin, and jump! I have experience with diabetic animals and with most animals in general! I am educated on animal CPR and heimlich. I'm happiest when I'm spending time with 6 dogs at a time lol it's so much fun! I don't have space to take more than one large dog or 2 small dogs at a time but someday I will! I am working on getting fencing for my yard! I only let 1 dog out at a time. I follow owners feeding schedule. I chart every feeding, drink of water that i see, and every potty break. I send updates daily and am well educated on how to calm an anxious dog!

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!
