“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! You could tell she had a great time all smiles and tired out. Thank you, again and she looks forward to her next stay!”
“Always dependable. When I secure a spot for Murphy he gets more than just daycare....he gets authentic love and guidance and comes home calm and relaxed. I appreciate the dog socialization Murphy gets from many Rover homes but in this home he gets the individual human attention I can't always provide him as they don't take many pets at a time. I really appreciate these two dog lovers!”
“Yuliya and her family did a great job of taking care of Koda for the weekend. I got regular updates and felt koda is being cared for…Thanks you Yuliya for take care of Koda”
“Maureen was absolutely amazing with Kera and Beau. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves dogs. Beau is still young and has a ton of energy, while Kera is older and likes to take things a little slower, and Maureen did such a good job making sure both of their very different needs were taken care of. It made me feel so good knowing they were getting the attention each of them needed. I would trust Maureen with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dogs like they’re her own.”
“Alicia and Simon's family were wonderful hosts for our Toffee! Toffee was thrilled with his time playing with Daisy and the kids. When Toffee was not showing interest in his food, Alicia offered to add chicken broth which worked. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Toffee cant wait to go back to them and Daisy!”
“Our dog Sunny was well taken care of at Lori's home! Sunny received lots of love, walks, and cuddles during her time w/ Lori. Sunny will be returning to Lori's home for our next vacation. :)”
“Kristi was wonderful with Hazel. Hazel had fun playing puzzles and going through a tunnel, she was so good with her. Kristi treated her like part of the family. It was our first time using her and we definitely will go back again. Thank you Kristi”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Such a delight to have Cassandra and her family watch our Louie. Excellent communication before and during his stay with them. Loved the photos and updates! Would have Louie stay with them again.”
“My dog had the best time staying with Amy when I went on vacation for a week. She took such good care of her and sent so many pics throughout the stay. It was my first time using Rover and I am glad I found Amy because I was assured from day 1 that my dog was in a safe and loving environment. Thank you so much Amy! I hope my upcoming vacation aligns with your available dates so I can bring Maala back again. :)”
“We had a very last minute booking for our puppy and Trudy was more than accommodating. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and even tips about her training. We knew Annie was in good hands and she had a blast- we will be bringing her back again :)”
“Wes was wonderful with our dog Zoey! Zoey is a senior dog and needs a bit of extra attention, and Wes and his family gave her just that! Received photos throughout her stay, would definitely recommend & use again in the future.”
“Leza was absolutely incredible caring for my dog. We were given frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and our dog always looked relaxed and happy. I would whole heartedly recommend Leza as a great pet sitter.”
“Megan and Brandon were very accommodating and responsive. My dog was able to run around their wonderful fenced in backyard and play with their two dogs. I had full confidence in their ability to take care of him.”
“Tanya went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule with hers and communicated very well. We knew right away that our pup was in good hands after meeting her and Yuzu was well cared for and active her entire stay! The pics and regular updates were greatly appreciated as well. We will definitely use Tanya again!”

“Autumn took such good care of our cat while we were away on vacation! Having her visit and check on our cat gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town. Highly recommend Autumn to care for your cat!”
“Alicia went above and beyond our expectations for watching our cats! Her daily pictures were great and she shared feedback and questions as they arose. She even straightened up, vacuumed, mopped and cleaned the countertops on the last day. She will be our go-to for future bookings!”
“Alexandra has once again done a remarkable job in caring for our two cats, Maggie and Millie! She doesn't miss a thing in their care, from feeding/watering to litter clean-up and especially taking the time to give them TLC. Alexandra is so professional, yet friendly! We are blessed by her caring touch!”
“Lisa is the most wonderful sitter! She sent super cute pics and great updates, and was able to give pills to one of our kitties. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Natalie was amazing at giving us an update on our cats while on vacation. She provided pictures and a brief overview of what the cats were up to that day which made us feel they were being cared for properly. Will definitely be using Natalie in the future!”
“Erika was so attentive and loving with our cat, Sam. She went out of her way to make him feel loved, offering to brush him and providing plenty of snuggles to keep him happy. She also helped us out with a few other tasks like bringing in mail, making sure our pipes didn’t freeze by running water and just checking on things in general. Overall we are so impressed with her care for our cat and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“This is the second time that we’ve had Brittany check in on our cat, Storm, and we will use her again and again!!! She is patient, kind, and goes above and beyond! Highly recommend!”
“Regan was the absolute best!! I could not have asked for a better experience - she sent wonderful updates and pictures every day that I looked forward to like a Christmas present. She quickly won over our shy kitty who I said she probably wouldn’t see the entire time (he hides), so clearly she is a pro with pets! Everything was well taken care of and the kitties were happy, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation instead of worrying every day if the pets are doing ok. Definitely will book again, thank you Regan!!”
“Amy is amazing! It’s always nerve racking leaving your babies but when you have someone as awesome as Amy all your worries disappear! Updates, pictures, seeing them running around and playing, so wonderful. I am forever grateful ♥️”
“Sara was great with our cats and was on time for all meet and greets and visits. She communicated with us when things came up, and even did an emergency extra visit (we did pay her!!) when our cats knocked over their automatic feeder.”
“Courtney graciously agreed to care for my 2 cats and did a wonderful job. She was timely and followed my instructions. I appreciate the extra cleaning she did for me. I’m sure her in home care is very good too, nice family. I highly recommend Courtney!”
“Thank you, Chasity, for being available on short notice to take care of our 3 kitties! Great to see them come out to greet you instead of hiding, so happy to see that! Great job, Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats growing up. I always take care of other animals like i treat my own, if not better. Monday and Tuesday I work 12-4 so I can watch your furry friends before or after. My schedule varies but I'm really flexible. I take care of 3 cats and help out with 3 dogs. I help with other people's animals whenever I can. I have 3 cats. I have toys that my cats can play with and an open area for them to run around. I love dogs, I had a family pit growing up and I loved her. I would throw a stick or ball for her to get, we had fun.
About: I love working with dogs. I have sat for a wide range of dogs sizing from a brussels griffen (14-15 lbs) to southern bloodhounds and black labs. Have given basic medication (a probiotic for the southern bloodhound), fed and walked dogs. I have also walked both together, so I am not against having 2 dogs at once. I have also used a couple different forms of restraints, such as gentle leaders, normal neck collars and shock collars while on walks to keep dogs under control as per owners instructions. One of the dogs I sit on a regular basis is an aging almost 10 year old southern bloodhound. I also have taken care of a shiba inu at weeks at a time, giving her longer 3-4 mile walks. My availability tends to lie in afternoons, evenings and some weekend availability as I have a 40 hour a week job. Generally what dog owners will like about my care is when I am given specific instruction, I will follow their instruction word for word, to keep their dog happy and healthy.

“Lori made me feel very confident she would take excellent care of Kola. Provided updates throughout the day. Her home is clean and quiet. Highly recommend, will definitely use again!”
“Julie was amazing and I would highly recommend her and her sweet family to watch any dog. I got the best photo updates throughout the day which made my life much more seamless. Great communication and prompt responses.”
“Our dog is an energetic dog that also needs some supervising and Tracy’s place was a great doggy daycare spot for his needs! She has a big fenced in yard that he can run around in, and dogs that he can play with! Would recommend”
“I was gifted a female Husky and knew that she needed a pack. I started searching Rover and we found Linnea about 6 months ago. She is attentive to my girl Kimbers needs, great with multiple dogs and she has been flexible with my schedule. Both Kimber and myself are very lucky to be part of Linneas pack!”
“Yulia was excellent ! I hadn’t left Simba with sitter before , so I was a bit of nervous . Her communication was awesome and pictures provided were much appreciated. The hand-off was easy . Simba loved her and her family . Will definitely book Yulia again ! Thank you for taking care of our furry baby !”
About: I love dogs of all kinds. I am very flexible and will take excellent care of your fur friend so you can have a relaxing vacation. I live in the western cities, it’s like the country with a lot of farmland but still close to the city. We have acreage so a lot of space to exercise and play. I have my own dog and children, so your pet must do well with other dogs and children. Your dog will get walks, I can brush them, brush their teeth and clip toenails and spend time by giving them love and affection. I look forward to meeting you and your fur friend. You can relax knowing your fur friend is in good hands. Thank you for your consideration. I work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding every day of the week. I have 2 acres of unfenced yard so your pet can run and play under constant super vision. I do have 50 foot leads if your pup is easily distracted. My friendly dog will keep your fur baby company, she loves to play.
“Kyle and his family - including his dog Coco - were awesome! Our dog can be protective/particular and they made our pup feel right at home. The fenced in backyard made for a great space for our rambunctious dog. I would definitely recommend Kyle!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and they have always been a big part of my family. I currently have a sweet Yorkie Poo and a gentle Newfoundland, and I truly believe every dog has their own personality, needs, and little quirks that make them special. I have over 5 years of professional dog grooming experience, which has taught me so much about dog behavior, body language, handling, and how to make dogs feel comfortable and safe. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors in all sizes. I also have experience with dogs who need extra patience and care, including dogs recovering from procedures and blind dogs. Besides walks, daycare, and boarding, I can also offer basic maintenance care, such as brushing, baths, nail trimming and grinding, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing, feet - paw and face trimming. I love going on long walks (usually two one-hour walks a day with my own dogs), and I’d love to give your pup the same attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. Our day includes two long walks, usually around 8:30 AM and 5 PM to avoid peak heat. We enjoy walks, park visits, playtime, cuddles and enrichment activities throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm home environment with supervision throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, offer structured walks and playtime, and have crates available if dogs need quiet time or separation. While I don’t have a fenced yard, dogs receive plenty of outdoor exercise through secure walks and nearby park visits. I also have experience handling different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. With decades of experience as a pet owner and sitter, I know how to keep tails wagging and owners worry-free. I work from home full-time, so I can be home with your furry friend all day. I can give walks at any time and provide care whenever they need it. Dogs in our home are welcome to roam free if they are house-trained. We allow dogs in all parts of our house. We can set up gates or crates if you prefer your dog to have their own space.
“Mayumi took very good care of my dog Max and made him feel comfortable at home. He got used to them very quickly and played with her family. They were very nice to him. She posted updates of his activities and shared pictures. I would highly recommend Mayumi if you are looking for a day care for your dog”
“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and even went to Vet Tech school for 1 year. I had a diabetic cat so I am familiar with giving medicine and injections. I work full time from home during the day. I take breaks every hour or so. We are typically home in the evening and weekends to love and play with your animals as well as our own. I have a fenced in back yard and a playful dog to keep your fur baby company while you are away. My dog no longer needs to be kenneled when I am away or at night. I can accommodate whatever you are most comfortable with.
About: I currently have a 2.5 year old mini goldendoodle named Maisie. My family has also had a dog (Lab) for the past 5 years and I have been surrounded by them my whole life through family and friends! Love being a dog momma! I work full-time from home so I am able to care for all your pets needs really anytime during the day, 7 days a week A dog friendly home in which a dog already lives with great front and back yards for dogs to play and be safe. Very dog friendly neighborhood as well.
“Maureen is a very animal loving person. She sent a picture and a video. By the info she provided about Studly I knew he really liked her!!! Even when we dropped him off he made himself at home instead of his usual separation anxiety issue. We highly recommend Maureen and will definitely use her again!!!”
“Whitney and Jeramiah's house was the perfect place for our Elsa. They have a relatively private and large outside play space for doggy guests, along with a fenced in area. They accommodated our requests for time and exercise. After meeting Whitney and Jeramiah and watching Elsa play with their dogs, I know she had a great time, was well cared for and was very comfortable at their house. Would recommend this family to care for your furry family members.”
“Amy and her family were absolutely amazing and Marley loved going for Doggie Daycare! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our baby and for being so flexible as well!! We will definitely use you again for Marley care❤️”
About: Dogs are lovable and a helping career is fulfilling. By helping humans with their canines I get the best of both worlds! Dogs have always been apart of my life, and recently we had our own 13yo mutt who came as a puppy, had a long full life, and passed away in my husband’s arms. Before that we had another mutt that lived to be 16yo, but she was a pound puppy we got at about 2yo. Also, our dog-niece lived with us for January 2024 while her parents vacationed. I love to love-on peoples’ dogs. Let's chat soon. I’ll be at your home when you need me to care for your feline furbaby. Most cats in my care have been drop-ins, including feeding, watering, and cat box cleaning. Cats with dog siblings have been an occasional treat to care for, as well. Just show me the ropes and I will do my best to copy what you do for your cat(s). Teach me your ways, Sensei!
“Karlee has done an amazing job taking care of Thor! When I drop him off he gets excited to see her everytime and I know he's in good hands! Karlee is very good at giving updates and sending pictures during his daycare! I highly recommend Karlee's daycare service it is easily worth what you pay! Thanks Karlee!”

About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂
About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.
“Alex is a wonderful dog walker. We had an older dog who was declining in health. We’d update her on how our dog’s day was going and she would adjust the walk to meet our dog’s needs that day. She is very professional and always got our dog walk in during the time window we had agreed to.”

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since high school. I have dog sat at many homes and have had dogs in my own home as well. I am currently working full-time but do work from home everyday. I able to care for your fur baby(ies) all day long! I am excited to meet my next pet bestie! I have two fur babies that can keep your fur baby(ies) company while you are away. They are very friendly towards other dogs! We have a big back yard to play. We offer snuggles on the couch and in bed. Walks are necessary and the deck in the back is great for some sun!
About: Growing up, my parents frequently relied on me to take care of our rat terriers while they were at work - this includes feeding them, taking them out for potty breaks before/ after school, playing with them, etc. Because I’ve been around rat terriers I’m very familiarized with their personalities and high energy levels. I also have experience walking pitbulls and Great Pyrenees breeds, as my boyfriends parents used to own both breeds and I would walk them frequently (: - I also have experience with giving medications to dogs; one of my rat terriers has bad seasonal allergies and receives medication (a liquid) daily with his dinner. Another one of my rat terriers suffered from seizures and would have to receive medication with her food as well. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I understand the importance of maintaining consistent routines and ensuring pets feel safe and cared for. I’m currently working a full time job, however I don’t start work until 2:45pm everyday (off days are Fridays and Saturdays). When I work Sunday-Thursday I’m available to drop in at least one early morning, I can do another drop in in the early afternoon, and another drop in when I get off if needed (I get off at 11pm). On my days off - Friday and Saturdays - I can do numerous drop ins throughout the day. Anytime between early morning to late night. I have two cats of my own. Both are tabby cats, but they have very different personalities. Bean, who is an orange long haired cat, is very skittish, loves to play, enjoys pets but hates being picked up. While Franklin, is a grey short hair, loves cuddles, being next to his people, and would rather play with Bean than his humans. We got Franklin when he was 8 weeks old from my boyfriend’s brother and we fostered then adopted Bean when he was 12 weeks old (about 6 months after getting Franklin). We discovered Franklin loves going outside, so we bought him a cat harness and leash and frequently take him on walks (: Bean is too skittish for this, but he loves to play inside with toy mice and springs (ESPECIALLY springs, those are his favorite 😅)
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from tiny 10 lb pups to gentle 100 lb companions, and have cared for dogs who lived to be 16 years old. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, your pet will be in caring hands! 🤍 I recently found myself with some extra free time, which means I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend it caring for your furry family members! 🤍 Every pet is unique, so I always do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or just extra cuddles, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away! 🤍
About: I adore animals. I love being the highlight of their day when I get home. I love training my dogs to learn new tricks and getting to reward them. I currently work from home so I am pretty flexible on when I can be available. I also have availability during the evenings and weekends with advance notice. I am unable to have pets in my apartment, so I will come to you! I am very gentle with dogs but lead with command when necessary. With cats, I let them lead and show me what they need and respect their space as they tend to be more cautious. I make sure that each animal feels loved but also safe when I am around.
About: Dog lover extraordinaire, I live for belly rubs and ear scratches. My talents include giving kisses, playing fetch, and hide-and-seek. While I enjoy spending time with my human friends, when it comes down to it, I'll always choose cuddling up with a furry four-legged companion. I'm an empty nester who works from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Your fur baby will be loved on with all that I have! Your house. Your pet. Your way. You can trust I'll care for you dog just as carefully and lovingly as you do- or better! (We'll let the doggy decide.)

“Allison provided quick and clear communication and shared some photos of my dog on the walk. She also took the time to meet me before I booked a walk so that my dog would feel more comfortable since she gets nervous around strangers!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats growing up. I always take care of other animals like i treat my own, if not better. Monday and Tuesday I work 12-4 so I can watch your furry friends before or after. My schedule varies but I'm really flexible. I take care of 3 cats and help out with 3 dogs.

About: I am recently returned Peace Corps Panama volunteer with over a decade of experience with my own dogs, as well as caring for others’ dogs. I grew up with a Vizsla, and took a lead role in training her including obedience, agility, and retrieving. This also provided me with extensive experience with very high-energy, as well as anxious dogs. I have experience with all breeds- large, small, high energy, low energy, etc. I also have experience with older and sick dogs. Over a year ago, my childhood dog sadly passed from a serious form of bone cancer. Due to this, she was very fragile and we had to be very careful about helping her and making sure her days were pain-free. I also have experience with temporarily ill dogs. I also have my own dog that I have had since a puppy who I got in Panama. Lastly, my family has recently fostered some dogs, which provided me with experience with nervous and unsocialized dogs. I am currently on a month-long leave before starting a new role with the Peace Corps, and have complete my open availability. I am very flexible, and will make sure your pup receives the love and attention that they deserve! I continuously research dog behavior and training techniques, so I will cater to each individual dog’s needs. I practice positive reinforcement techniques for training and correction. I have experience caring for dogs with a range of medical and mobility needs, so each dog's care plan will be specialized based on what you, the owner, want.
About: Hi! I'm Samantha, a lifelong animal lover with professional experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I currently work at The Spot by KLN in Greenfield, Minnesota, where I oversee daily care for dogs in both boarding and daycare. From administering medications and monitoring diabetic pets to helping nervous dogs build confidence in group settings, I've learned that every dog deserves patient, individualized care. At home, I share my life with my rescue dog, Topsy Toppington, who reminds me every day why compassionate care matters. Losing one of my beloved dogs reinforced how deeply our pets become family, and I treat every dog in my care with that same level of love and respect. Positive reinforcement, consistency, and patience are the foundation of everything I do. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, senior, or simply needs extra attention, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I pride myself on excellent communication, photo updates, and treating every dog like they're part of my own family. I look forward to meeting your best friend! I currently work at The Spot by KLN, and my schedule can vary between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Because of this, advance planning is greatly appreciated and allows me to provide the best possible care for your pet. With enough notice, I'm happy to accommodate a wide variety of drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Clear communication and planning ahead help ensure a smooth experience for both you and your furry family member. I do my best to be as flexible as possible and will always let you know upfront if I can accommodate your requested schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. Working at The Spot by KLN, I'm experienced in reading canine body language, administering medications, managing dogs with different temperaments, and creating calm, positive experiences for pets of all ages and personalities. I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with constant supervision, fresh water, and plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and rest. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs before their stay. Communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, and excited to come back for their next visit.

“Kay and family was definitely a godsend in my last minute attempt to find care for my dog, Henry. Daily updates with pictures and videos and great communication helped me relax knowing he was in good hands. My dog has special needs in the center where he has attachment issues and there was always somebody home at Kay‘s house to be with Henry and her family is just as calming and sweet as what you would picture from her description and photos. Not only a great dog sitter but an amazing human being in life! Can’t thank you all enough!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! You could tell she had a great time all smiles and tired out. Thank you, again and she looks forward to her next stay!”
“Always dependable. When I secure a spot for Murphy he gets more than just daycare....he gets authentic love and guidance and comes home calm and relaxed. I appreciate the dog socialization Murphy gets from many Rover homes but in this home he gets the individual human attention I can't always provide him as they don't take many pets at a time. I really appreciate these two dog lovers!”
“Maureen was absolutely amazing with Kera and Beau. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves dogs. Beau is still young and has a ton of energy, while Kera is older and likes to take things a little slower, and Maureen did such a good job making sure both of their very different needs were taken care of. It made me feel so good knowing they were getting the attention each of them needed. I would trust Maureen with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dogs like they’re her own.”
“Alicia and Simon's family were wonderful hosts for our Toffee! Toffee was thrilled with his time playing with Daisy and the kids. When Toffee was not showing interest in his food, Alicia offered to add chicken broth which worked. We really appreciated her thoughtfulness. Toffee cant wait to go back to them and Daisy!”
“Our dog Sunny was well taken care of at Lori's home! Sunny received lots of love, walks, and cuddles during her time w/ Lori. Sunny will be returning to Lori's home for our next vacation. :)”
“I cannot say enough good things about Tracy. I was genuinely so nervous boarding my dogs for the first time, and from the very beginning she made me feel completely at ease. She was warm, patient, reassuring, and so communicative the entire time. What really stood out to me is how naturally comfortable my dogs were with her. You can tell she truly understands animals and cares about them like they’re her own. She sent updates and photos, answered my anxious first-time-boarder questions with so much kindness, and made the whole experience feel safe and personal. Finding someone you can actually trust with your dogs is huge, and Tracy is absolutely that person. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Such a delight to have Cassandra and her family watch our Louie. Excellent communication before and during his stay with them. Loved the photos and updates! Would have Louie stay with them again.”
“My dog had the best time staying with Amy when I went on vacation for a week. She took such good care of her and sent so many pics throughout the stay. It was my first time using Rover and I am glad I found Amy because I was assured from day 1 that my dog was in a safe and loving environment. Thank you so much Amy! I hope my upcoming vacation aligns with your available dates so I can bring Maala back again. :)”
“We had a very last minute booking for our puppy and Trudy was more than accommodating. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and even tips about her training. We knew Annie was in good hands and she had a blast- we will be bringing her back again :)”
“Leza was absolutely incredible caring for my dog. We were given frequent pictures and updates throughout the day and our dog always looked relaxed and happy. I would whole heartedly recommend Leza as a great pet sitter.”
“Megan and Brandon were very accommodating and responsive. My dog was able to run around their wonderful fenced in backyard and play with their two dogs. I had full confidence in their ability to take care of him.”
“Tanya went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule with hers and communicated very well. We knew right away that our pup was in good hands after meeting her and Yuzu was well cared for and active her entire stay! The pics and regular updates were greatly appreciated as well. We will definitely use Tanya again!”
“Kj and her family did a fantastic job caring for our Penny Lane! Kj communicated frequently with updates and photos of our girl. Would love to have Penny board with Kj again!”
“Absolutely fantastic. Julie communicates throughout the whole experience and makes you feel at ease. Julie and her family went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were well taken care of. Everything was top notch. We have already booked Julie and her family again and feel so blessed to come across them (: thanks again Julie! HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“My dog has stayed with Renee and James three times now, and each visit has been wonderful. She gets excited the moment we arrive, which gives me peace of mind knowing she feels comfortable and happy there. Renee and James send regular updates and photos, so I always know how she’s doing. I really appreciate the consistency and care every single stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Renee and James to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters.”
