“Brandy and her family did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! Photos every day! My dog is a geriatric with special needs and he was very well taken care of. I would definitely use them again!”

“Highly recommend Anna's services! She was amazing watching our dog over a full weekend. It was our first time boarding our dog and she made it so easy & was so reassuring. We were able to enjoy our weekend away and not worry about how our dog was doing which I was so grateful for. We will be returning again that's for sure!”

“Jordon and Melisa are wonderful, and their kids are very sweet with our pup! First time finding sitters for our “new to us” golden and I knew she would have such a great time with this family. I think she’s bored at home now! Jordon and Melisa sent photos and updated multiple times and I know our sweet girl was in great hands.”

“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”

“Michelle was great! My dog can be very shy and has separation anxiety but she warmed right up to her and came home very relaxed. We will be using her again in the future!”

“Tammy was amazing. I think it says a lot about our the sitter when you pup wants to stay and is hesitant to go home. Tammy will be at the top of our list any time we need someone to watch our pup when we go out of town.”

“Both my dog and I had a great experience boarding with Sophia and Travis. They have a really nice facility with an open area for the dogs to play. My dog especially enjoyed the kiddie pool. Sophia is also great because she responds to messages promptly and offers connection to her video cameras!”

“Dave is such a blessing! Thanks for bringing out the best in our dog & seeing why we live her so much. Thanks for your kind words & opening your heart and home to her! We will call you again for doggie day care and for overnight boarding! :)”

“Lauren and James were phenomenal! Spent good time with my dog and send updated photos and videos. Very loving couple. I would recommend them if you are in a need for boarding.”

“Alisha and Cameron took such great care of our dog Bear! He was so happy at their house. They provided lots of updates and pictures. I know he got lots of love. They have been our favorite Rover family to date!”

“Lan was great! She took our last minute booking no problem and our dogs were very well taken care of. They loved hanging out with Lucy and Lan also keeps you in the loop with photo updates. Highly recommend!”


“We were first timers on Rover and Patti and Patrick were the first match that came up... and I never looked for another option. Best decision I made! Our 13-year-old AmStaff, Jackson, had surgery the Friday before his stay and by Monday night, drop-off night, we were in the doggy ER. I texted Patti from the waiting room, explained everything, and without hesitation she said bring him... we want to care for him. We showed up at 11p with a loopy, post-ER dog, a bland diet we'd just cooked up, a pile of medications, and a whole lot of apology. They took him in like he was their own. What followed was a week of daily photo updates, warm compresses on his incision, anxiety meds crushed into peanut butter, small-batch feedings, middle-of-the-night potty runs, and more love than I could have asked for. Patti was his constant and his nurse. Patrick became his cuddle buddy. They even scored him a Dairy Queen pup cup. I cried every single day from the updates they sent out of pure joy, appreciation and knowing our special Jackson was being unconditionally loved and doted on non-stop. They even checked in on him after we got home. They missed him. That's not the job... that's just who they are, and it says everything about the care and love they pour into what they do. If you have a senior dog with special needs and you're terrified to leave them — choose Patti and Patrick! We will never use anyone else.”

“Lisa helped us out last minute with dog sitting when our other sitter fell through and she was great!! Very responsive and even sent us pictures of Briggs. He came home a very happy pup thanks to Lisa and Dukey!!”

“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”

“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”

“Jenell was great with our dog Max! He had a great time and was well taken care of! Janell kept us up to date with pictures, updates and was extremely responsive. We will definitely have Janell watch Max again.”

“Brody's first weekend with Brianna and her family was wonderful! We got lots of pics and videos (which we shared with some guests at our son's wedding - a big hit when people asked where Brody was staying!). Brody especially loves Brianna's daughter and follows her everywhere. We are so thankful we chose this family and will be using again!”

“Rozalyn was a wonderful caretaker of our dog. Her dog and our dog got a long really well. She did everything that I asked her to do. She also sent us a lot of pictures! We would highly recommend her.”

“An amazing second stay with Elsa and Nick! Enzo was living his best life (again) and truly didn’t want to leave when my husband picked him up. Thank you, team! Also - a quick note that Enzo’s behavior with strangers actually improved after his first stay with Elsa and Nick in April. He was much less anxious with new people at our house; an amazing byproduct of their wonderful care!”

“We are so grateful for Brandy! She was reliable, attentive, and truly caring with our beloved cat while we were away on vacation. Knowing our kitty was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worry. Brandy made sure our cat felt loved and comfortable, kept us updated, and was very responsive. It was clear she treated our cat as if it were her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“I have a hard time leaving my cats, and one of them needs insulin, but I was pretty much at ease as soon as met Roxanne. She has experience with animals and my cats seemed to like her. The trip went well and I didn’t worry because she was easy to communicate with and reliable. I’d recommend her & I’d use her again”

“Alivia is the best!! She was so easy to communicate with before booking and during the stay. Our cat who isn’t the biggest fan of strangers warmed right up to Alivia and we loved the pictures she sent everyday! She was responsible, kind and really felt our pet and home were in great care with her. She even went above and beyond in checking mail, doing a door locked check for us, packages, plants and juggling a contractor we had doing work at our home while we were gone. We quickly rebooked her for our next trip. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“I was nervous about using a drop-in cat sitter, but this experience has completely removed my anxiety. Lauren was happy to meet us and our two kitties ahead of time to ensure we were aligned on their needs while we were away. She went above and beyond for us and our two cats. We asked her to drop in daily and we are confident our kitties were well cared for. Her communication was exceptional: the updates contained just enough detail and photos. The updates also felt personal to our kitties versus just a simple three sentence generic update. We will absolutely ask her to watch them the next time we leave town!”


“Denise is very thorough and does a great job visiting our boys! We got a ton of photos of our kitties of them playing, getting pets, fed, watered and their boxes cleaned. She even watered my struggling plants 😂 overall a great experience, will continue to have Denise visit in the future. Thanks for everything!!”

“Lance and Coco immediately bonded. Coco trusted her and I felt comfortable leaving her in Lance's care. Lance followed all my instructions. I would recommend Lance to anyone.”


“I adore Jackie, and so did our three year old cat, Benny! Jackie did all the things (changed his water, checked on his food, emptied his litter box) with excellence and care. AND she went above and beyond by feeding the chipmunks on our deck (so Benny had some entertainment to watch), by bringing in our mail and by hanging around the house and playing with him. She knew where we keep his wand toys (safely out of sight, until he’s supervised) and she brought them out to play with him. He’s a short hair, so no need to brush him, but she knew that he enjoys it, so she offered him some brushing time. She sent pictures everyday, which was great. I missed him a lot, and seeing daily pictures made me feel better knowing that Benny was having a good time. Honestly, Jackie spoiled our boy almost as much as I do! While I don’t like to leave him often, I won’t hesitate next time, because I know he’s in good hands with Jackie.”


“Katherine successfully completed three drop-in visits to feed our cats, provide them with fresh water and scoop their litterboxes. She was on time (which we really appreciate) and cleaned up the dirty cash dishes. We have already requested her for future visits :-)”

About: I specialize in teeth brushing. Happy teeth, happy fur babies. I also love going on walks, and I'm in the process of setting up a agility course. I currently work M - Thursday, with that in mind you could head out early for a nice long weekend, knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of. I have a large back yard, lots of woods, private area. Fur babies welcomed inside and out. If special needs are in order just ask, we want to make sure you are relaxed, and the same with your pet.
“Tiffany was attentive, reliable, and took great care of my cat while I was away. Their help was truly appreciated and gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands. Highly recommended!”

“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all personalities and needs. I currently have two hound mixes and live a very active, pet-focused lifestyle. I have hands-on experience with: • Dogs with anxiety and behavioral needs (including training support) • Senior and special-needs dogs, including hip dysplasia • Administering medications multiple times a day I understand that every pet is different, and I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs, and I can also accommodate crating if needed (I have large crates available). Availability: I work full-time during the day, but I’m typically available after 6 PM on workdays. I also have rotating weekdays and weekends off, which allows for more flexible care—just message me and I’m happy to coordinate! I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind. I currently work full time day shift. I will generally be available after 6PM but I have random weekdays and wekends off to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard, and two dog friendly dogs. I have experience with high anxiety and handicap dogs that need medication several times a day. I have two large crates as my dogs are over 50 pounds if that is something that is needed.
“Brianna has been doing drop in/walk visits with Parker. She’s fantastic with him, so clearly a dog lover!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of him, and I would highly recommend her!!”

“Brianna has been such a huge blessing for our family and for our pup, Vince. He absolutely loves going to her house – her kids are so sweet with him and he’s become part of the little pack with her dogs. You can tell she really understands dogs and manages the energy in her home so everyone feels safe and included. I always feel confident dropping him off because I know he’s supervised, loved on, and genuinely having fun. We’re really thankful to have found someone we can trust with our boy during long work days and trips. Highly recommend Brianna if you want your dog to have a second home.”

“We needed a last minute sitter and Anna was able to take our little guy on such a short notice. She did such a wonderful job with getting Louie adjusted as it was his first time. She sent pictures through out the day to help make us feel comfortable.”

“Bailey had a great time. She was exhausted when she got home. We will definitely use them again. Like that they are close to us. Gave a tip when we picked up Bailey.”
“Hopps has enjoyed his days with Kara and the family. He looks forward to playing in the yard with Oscar, walks with the kiddos and having someone to follow around all day. Kara is so great at documenting the day with pictures and reporting on his activities. I know he’s in good hands 😊”
“Russell and Linda took our dog on short notice. They were a big help. They have a lovely fenced yard and safe protocols in place. He was happy and safe when we picked him up.”

“Another fun daycare day for my puppy at Michelle’s. After playing with the other puppy’s and running the acreage he is all tuckered out. Thank you Michelle!!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. In the past 3 years we’ve welcomed almost 50 fosters into our home, many with behavioral issues. We currently have two rescues that are our life - and we want to welcome your pup into our home. We are heavily involved in the rescue world. We crate train, work on obedience, have the tools for a smooth transition, and go on walks multiple times a day. I currently work from home and am active on breaks with walks, training, and providing puppy love. We believe in routine and keeping dogs on a schedule. We watch our dogs, crate and rotate if needed, and always walk with a secure harness or harness lead. We allow pups to transition as long as they need as being away from home can be stressful!
About: My husband and I have both grown up with pets and have continued caring for animals throughout our adult lives. We have extensive hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, and we currently care for a variety of animals in our home, including fish, a bearded dragon, a leopard gecko, a hamster, and hermit crabs. This has given us a strong understanding of different care needs, routines, and behaviors across species. We’re attentive, patient, and comfortable following specific instructions — whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, or helping pets feel calm and safe in a new environment. We truly treat every pet as if they were our own. Because we work from home, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. We’re around throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, feeding, and companionship, not just quick check-ins. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means extra cuddles, medication reminders, or keeping a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We care for pets as if they are part of our own family. In our home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play safely. We live on 10 acres, which allows for supervised outdoor time, walks, and fresh air, and we also have a large outdoor kennel available when appropriate for a pet’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we focus on consistency, attentiveness, and respect for each pet’s routine. We follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests closely. We make it a priority to be responsive, communicative, and attentive so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“You will appreciate Julie who is willing to take your dog for a walk or possibly to the dog park. She has a great big fenced yard. She will cuddle with your dog on the couch and is very attentive in their care. I appreciated her and will request her again.”

“Emily’s process is a little front heavy in reading the welcome packet and instructions - but I honestly rather this and feel great about where I’m leaving my dog than sitters who are so easy going that I’m nervous how carefully they watch my dog. She sent a lot of photos which was awesome!! My dog played with other dogs and came home tired.”

“Ellen’s wonderful my puppy got to meet her daughter,son,and their dog ❤️🐾. She took really great care of my puppy Vince for the day. I highly recommend her. I had a wonderful first day of work knowing that my puppy was in the best care for the day.”


“Sarah is great! Dogs were happy and well cared for, even had a long walk. The picture was nice to get in the middle of the day. We’ll keep her on Ge list of sitters for next time”


“David is great and so knowledgeable about dogs. My dog is 13 and has never been boarded before. We are doing trials with Jasper to get him ready for an extended stay in November! You can see David's love for animals!”

“Our Aussie/Border collie had a delightful time at doggy daycare every day for a week. Jessica and her husband were very communicative, prompt and sent photos. They were patient working through our dog's anxiety on the second day (when he realized this was not just a one-off play date), and he ended up happy and comfortable the rest of the week, playing all day with their resident dog and another friend. We'd recommend them as excellent dogsitters and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.”


About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am able to accommodate regular visits, overnight care, and extended stays when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I prioritize dependability and clear communication to ensure each pet receives steady, attentive care while you’re away. I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.
“Big thank you to Nathan and family for taking Lincoln today. So happy to hear how comfortable he became today. He's a bit of a handful as you know, so thank you for all you do to make him feel anxiety free.”

“Always takes excellent care of Loki. Dave really does it because he loves it, and that is really obvious in the way he treats Loki, and the way Loki reacts when he arrives at Dave's house (tail wagging and bursting with excitement).”

“We had such a great experience with Giovana! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. It was clear that Kit was well cared for and loved — Giovana truly treated her like part of her own family. We’re so grateful for her kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

“Brandy and her family did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! Photos every day! My dog is a geriatric with special needs and he was very well taken care of. I would definitely use them again!”

“Jordon and Melisa are wonderful, and their kids are very sweet with our pup! First time finding sitters for our “new to us” golden and I knew she would have such a great time with this family. I think she’s bored at home now! Jordon and Melisa sent photos and updated multiple times and I know our sweet girl was in great hands.”

“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”

“Michelle was great! My dog can be very shy and has separation anxiety but she warmed right up to her and came home very relaxed. We will be using her again in the future!”

“Tammy was amazing. I think it says a lot about our the sitter when you pup wants to stay and is hesitant to go home. Tammy will be at the top of our list any time we need someone to watch our pup when we go out of town.”

“We were first timers on Rover and Patti and Patrick were the first match that came up... and I never looked for another option. Best decision I made! Our 13-year-old AmStaff, Jackson, had surgery the Friday before his stay and by Monday night, drop-off night, we were in the doggy ER. I texted Patti from the waiting room, explained everything, and without hesitation she said bring him... we want to care for him. We showed up at 11p with a loopy, post-ER dog, a bland diet we'd just cooked up, a pile of medications, and a whole lot of apology. They took him in like he was their own. What followed was a week of daily photo updates, warm compresses on his incision, anxiety meds crushed into peanut butter, small-batch feedings, middle-of-the-night potty runs, and more love than I could have asked for. Patti was his constant and his nurse. Patrick became his cuddle buddy. They even scored him a Dairy Queen pup cup. I cried every single day from the updates they sent out of pure joy, appreciation and knowing our special Jackson was being unconditionally loved and doted on non-stop. They even checked in on him after we got home. They missed him. That's not the job... that's just who they are, and it says everything about the care and love they pour into what they do. If you have a senior dog with special needs and you're terrified to leave them — choose Patti and Patrick! We will never use anyone else.”

“Lisa helped us out last minute with dog sitting when our other sitter fell through and she was great!! Very responsive and even sent us pictures of Briggs. He came home a very happy pup thanks to Lisa and Dukey!!”

“Marie and Mark took great care of my extremely attention needing Basset hound. Sent lots of updates and treated her so kind. Would highly recommend them to watch your pets.”

“Rozalyn was a wonderful caretaker of our dog. Her dog and our dog got a long really well. She did everything that I asked her to do. She also sent us a lot of pictures! We would highly recommend her.”

“My pup was so well cared for by Debbie and Mike. I received lots of daily updates and photos, and they have the most adorable and lovely kiddos. They gave him lots of love and walks. I would definitely bring him back!”
“Jailene was fantastic with my dog Riley. She sent regular update, photos, and videos. He stayed over the 4th of July holiday, and Jailene had great questions beforehand to make sure he was comfortable.”


“Brenda and Alvin provide awesome dog care, especially with new pets. They do everything they can to make the dog feel comfortable and well cared for. Our dog initially was a little anxious and nervous. Brenda and Alvin gave her space and time to adjust but also coaxed her out of her crate and gave her attention, play time and walks. They also kept me informed twice a day with reports and pictures to let me know how Wednesday was doing. I can’t thank them enough or praise them enough for their wonderful care of our dear little girl!”

“Kyle provided a comfortable stay for my dog Len's first Rover experience. Even though it was a pretty short stay it was so nice to get pictures and an update on how Len was doing. Will definitely be using Kyle again!”

“Abbie and her family took great care of our puppy. It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know and we could not be happier. She sent many updates and picture and took great care to make sure she knew all of our dog’s needs. We could relax knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend Abbie!”
