“Sparky had a great visit! Bridget is loving and attentive, and sent pictures so that I could see how Sparky was doing. We will be leaving him with her again! :-)”
“Kristy was absolutely wonderful with our amstaff/lab mix, Coltrane. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and thoughtful. She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was obvious from every picture that Coltrane was happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying himself with Kristy and her family. One of the things we appreciated most was seeing Coltrane interacting so naturally and comfortably in their home environment. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was being treated like part of the family instead of just being “watched.” Kristy clearly loves dogs and pays close attention to their comfort and well-being. We would absolutely trust her with Coltrane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter.”
“Billie communicated with me with messages and pictures over the course of time that she was caring for our dog. I would recommend her. Thank you Billie! Debbie Kerr”
“We loved Mo! Woody really loved his stay and she was so sweet and accommodating throughout the process. I received pictures and videos everyday which was so nice. Would highly recommend and we will be using her again!”
“Our pups were well taken care of and didn’t want to come home! Erin was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pics! We will definitely book with her again!”
“It gives me so much peace of mind for my 2 girls to stay with Carly and her family while I'm gone. She sends pics and updates and I think the dogs look forward to their own vacation at her house!”
“Sarah did a great job keeping my 2yr old mini aussie for 5 days while we went out of state. She kept me posted on how he was doing and she sent me pics on the regular. Highly recommend! She also has dogs herself and Rio loved it! I think he misses his friends ❤️”
“Olga was great with Otis and incredibly accommodating throughout his stay! She was able to take him a day earlier than originally planned on very short notice, and when our travel plans home were unexpectedly delayed, she was so patient and understanding about us needing to add an extra day as well. I really appreciated her flexibility and how easy she was to work with. I would absolutely use Olga again in the future if the need arises!”
“I'm usually pretty anxious about leaving our dogs with a sitter, but I had a great feeling about Karrie, which turned out to be correct. I could see a lot of dog smiles in the pictures she sent, which isn't always the case. Communication was excellent and she was really easy to work with. I don't know how this could have been a better experience for any of us; we'll definitely be using Karrie again for future trips!”
“Bubba was very happy and content when we picked him up. He was tired from all the activity and play. A very positive experience for us and was the first experience for us using Rover. Nate was great with Bubba and flexible also to meet some extra requests extending our sitting needs .”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing!!!! She made my dog, Tucker feel right at home immediately! My dog absolutely LOVED playing with her dogs and being included in their daily life. Jenny sent pictures and updates every day with little stories how Tucker was doing. She was also super flexible and understanding when our flight was cancelled and we couldn't make our original pick up time! I was totally at ease knowing that Tucker was safe, happy, and I didn't have to scramble to figure out alternative plans when I was stuck MILES away! Thank you so much Jenny! You were a life saver!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we found Griffin! He watched our chihuahua for a week and I think she had a better time on vacation than we did! The kids (and adults) absolutely loved getting the picture/video updates and we so appreciated how they let Tallulah make herself feel right at home. We will definitely be asking for Griffin again next time we travel.”
“Angela was amazing with Milo. She provides such comfortable accommodations for him and shared pictures which helped reassure us. This is our first ti boarding our cat and we couldn’t have been more pleased. We will definitely use Angela again. She’s a sweetheart and clearly loves animals.”
“The BEST family ever! From the moment we spoke I knew that our 8 month old puppy was in great hands. I received daily pictures and updates, which was so nice. I highly recommend this family to take care of your dogs!”
“Had such a great experience with Shelly and her husband watching my 2 dogs while I was out for 2 weeks. They are very welcoming and friendly. I could tell my two were very well taken care of and had a great time playing while there. Highly recommend!”
“Damonte is incredibly kind, reliable, and generous with Kuba and Ashanti. He always keeps us informed by sending updates and videos, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love him and treat him like family. We are so grateful for the care and attention he provides, and he will always be our go-to pet care provider. Thank you, Damonte, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!”
“Chloe and Colliin have been incredible! I left my puppy, Polly, with them for nearly a week. It was my first time being away from her and I was very nervous, but Chloe sent pictures and updates a couple times every day. She was obviously happy and being treated like a member of the family! It made my time away so much easier! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them when ever we need to be away!”
“Lucy was amazing with my Golden retriever, Chip! She provided photo updates daily, a meet and greet before booking, and even accommodated us when we had an unexpected travel delay. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Absolutely ? % perfect. John, Rachel and the kids are warm and welcoming. They were perfect with our fur baby. I especially loved receiving daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use them again.”
“Brittney and Max always care for our dog like he's there own. They send regular updates showing how much fun they have wearing our dog out. Exceptional family and service!”

“Rachel provided outstanding pet sitting services during my recent trip. She demonstrated professionalism and reliability, arriving on time for every scheduled visit. My cat received consistent feedings and ample interactive play, which contributed to her well-being and comfort throughout my absence. Upon my return, my cat exhibited no signs of distress or behavioral issues, indicating attentive and compassionate care. I confidently recommend Rachel to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter.”
“Brittany was awesome! She was very professional and an effective communicator. Brittany took great care of our kitties. Our shy girl even made an appearance when Brittany was visiting the kitties.”
“Katie helped us in a stressful time to find our dog that went missing. She also took on more time than originally agreed and her husband helped too. Nothing but positive things to say. She gives grest updates and does exactly as agreed.”
About: Hello! I just want to start off by saying that I love animals! And have loved them since I was a little kid. I grew up in a small town with all kinds of animals. I treat all animals as if they were my own. And to me they’re more than an animal, they’re a child. I have three wonderful puppies whom I love very much. They are my children. My three babies are energetic but they do nap throughout the day. I’ll sit down to watch tv and they’ll lay down and watch with me until they fall asleep. Doggy drop off and pick up, boarding can be at anytime that you need ☺️. Also, since I work 3 days a week I have my husband who can help me out and watch them when I am at work. That way they are not alone. He’s a big dog lover just like I am. 😊 I hope I get to watch your fur baby/babies for you sometime in the future! I am currently going to school online so I am home most of the time. The only time I am really gone so when I have to take and pick up my kids from school. So I am here with your babies all day. I have a fenced in yard with three friendly dogs who would love to have another playmate to play with. I do have a pit but he is the biggest baby I have ever met. But, If it would make you feel more comfortable I can make sure mine are separated from yours while they are here in my care. They would be able to play outside when the weather is nice and they would also get to come and lay down with me while we watch tv.
“Maddie was fantastic! She communicated very well throughout her visits and took photos of our fur baby for us. She even went above and beyond what we expected while we were gone! We definitely recommend her :)”
“Lacey did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitties while we were away. Followed all of our instructions and was very responsive to all messages. She even sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and kind pet care.”
“Susan is amazing! She has watched my cat on 2 occasions and each time she has gone above and beyond! She’s a true animal lover and so caring and considerate. I would give 10 stars if I could!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for pets and understanding that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve had cats as part of my home for years and have also spent plenty of time caring for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means keeping up with their routine, providing playtime and exercise, or giving them extra comfort and attention while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to provide attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. I provide daily care for my two cats in my own home, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, following owner instructions, and providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and respect that I give my own.
“Gracie has done a great job, she even made a friend of Linus our scaredy cat. He would run when people would come over and she got him to let her pet him. We will use her again!”
“Kaitlyn has been checking in on my dogs for a little over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with her service! Great communication, dogs love her, and always on time. Definitely book with her if you’re wanting a reliable and trustworthy person with your pups!”
“Katie is still the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! We’re moving in June and the worst part of it is that Katie won’t be able to pet sit for us anymore. Great sitter and very communicative!”
About: Hi, I’m Avry! What sets me apart from your average pet sitter is my professional background. I spent over a year working at a local, small business dog daycare and boarding facility, which means your furry family member isn't just getting a companion—they’re getting someone trained in professional pack management, safety protocols, and diverse canine behaviors. I have a deep, lifelong love for all animals and genuinely treat them like human members of the family. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime or quiet, patient comfort, I adapt completely to their vibe. My Hands-On Expertise Includes: Puppy Prodigy: Patient care and routine-building for the littlest ones. Senior & Special Needs Comfort: Experienced in gentle handling for aging or injured dogs. Medication Management: Confident and precise with oral or topical medical needs. Energy Matching: From exhausting the high-energy athletes to cuddling the low-energy couch potatoes. Reliable & Trusted: I currently manage weekday care for a private family, seamlessly blending their dog's routine into my daily schedule (even bringing them to work with me!). When your pet is with me, they get the structure and safety of a professional handler combined with the cozy, one-on-one affection in their own home. I can't wait to meet your best friend(s)! Because I lead an active and structured life, I thrive on routine—and so do dogs! I don't just 'fit' your pup into my schedule; they become a seamless part of my daily rhythm. Whether I’m working, opening shifts, or running errands, your dog receives dedicated, high-quality attention. I treat my busy days as opportunities for structured walks, mental stimulation, and perfectly timed potty breaks, ensuring your pup is never just waiting around, but actively cared for and loved. Consistency is Key: I mirror your dog's exact feeding, medication, and bathroom schedule, blending it perfectly with my own daily routines. Built-In Companionship: My schedule includes dedicated 'pup-first' blocks for high-energy exercise, structured decompression time, and plenty of belly rubs. On-the-Go Care: With my background, I’m an expert at managing time. Your dog gets a dynamic day filled with attention, not a lonely day waiting by the door. Proactive Communication: Even on my busiest days, you’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. Safety isn't a afterthought for me—it's my background. Having spent over a year working in a high-volume dog daycare and boarding facility, I am professionally trained in canine body language, pack management, and emergency safety protocols. I know how to spot the subtle signs of stress, fatigue, or illness before they become issues. Whether administering time-sensitive medication, caring for an injured pup, or supervising playtime, I apply professional facility-grade safety standards to every single pet in my care. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in hands that know exactly what to do in any situation." Quick Bullet Points to Include: Canine Body Language: Professionally trained to read dog behavior and prevent conflicts before they start. Medication & Injury Care: Fully confident and experienced in administering oral/topical medications and managing pups recovering from injuries. Constant Supervision: Pups are never left unattended in situations where safety could be compromised. Open Communication: I provide transparent, honest updates and photos so you are always in the loop.
“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”
“Yvette was AWESOME with my two cats. She was thorough and did great giving my senior cat his medication even when he was being stubborn and spent the remaining time playing with the kitten and wearing her out.”
“Jennipher did an awesome job taking care of our cat for a long week while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and even sent some photos while we were gone. Highly recommend her services!”

“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”
About: Ive been doing Rover now for almost 2 years and it has brought me so much joy and new friends! I worked a summer at kc zoo and it was the most fun job I have ever had. I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Also around horses from my uncle. I have adopted all of my animals from shelters. I love my dogs and cats like they are family. I have a teenage son I have to keep out of petco or any other animal place otherwise he wants to bring all the animals home, joking but not completely untrue. It's how we ended up with our Kitty Maisey. We even took care of the class's bearded dragon over spring break during Covid. He will come along on visits if available as he is the animal whisperer and wants to be a vet. Our 2 dogs are Dottie (our adopted covid pointer mix pup who is the sweetest girl and loves to have visitors to play with), and Marley who is our very sweet, laid back senior dog. Both our pups were rescues. Marley is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks so we sre familliar with giving medications and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dottie is allergic to something during the late summer and September month and takes medicine for that allergy at that time. We believe in treats but only rawhide free and dental bones. Please bring your own food and treats and let me know if you prefer not to share our treats. We also have 2 cats that are used to dogs and in fact think that each dog is their mommy since we got them as kittens and have an attachment to their respective dog mommy. You will even find cats and dogs snuggling together on the bed. Or Moose playing with Dottie in his tunnel. I have had animals with special needs from a diabetic cat that I gave insulin injections to treating animals with special needs. I live right down the street from a great dog park here in belton. We would love to take any new friends to visit. Please let me know if you prefer them not to go to the dog park and we can stay here and play. We have a fenced back yard but one side is only 4 ft. I work from home as a director so I have a very flexible schedule. My son does play competitive soccer so sometimes weekends have us at soccer field for about 2 hours. I have a fenced yard 3 sides are 6 foot privacy and one has a 4 foot chain link. I follow my client's care directions in their homes.
“Nate and his family were absolutely wonderful with my poodle mix Pickles. I received lots of pictures and videos of Pickles having the time of his life. I will definitely rebook Nate to watch after my fur baby in the future.”
“This is the first time our golden retriever has stayed anywhere without us so we were a little nervous. I think Ellie had a a great time. She was happy and tired when she got home. She looked to be having fun in the pictures Katie sent. Katie and her husband were so friendly and welcoming I won’t hesitate to use them again.”
“Our dog Rubi loved Elaine! I messaged Elaine the day before we needed care for our dog and she was so prompt to respond and ready to help us. She took great care of Rubi and sent us a picture and updates. Her backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play in and her house is calming and quiet. We will deffinetly think of Elaine again if we need care for our dog.”

“Griffin took fantastic care of our baby. She was so excited to hang out with them everyday and play. She has been so much more confident around other dogs and people since. Would recommend them to anyone!”
About: We are a loving family with various animal experience. My husband has owned cattle and horses and I have owned a horse along with several family dogs. We house sat for an elderly dog earlier this year and would love to look after yours. We did a lot of training with our heeler and are familiar with training collars. On the days your pet is here we will be here to love on and let out as needed. On the occasion we need to leave the house we ask to either have your pet in the kitchen or crated. We have a fenced in yard, an energetic heeler, new lab puppy and 2 kiddos to love and play with your pet. If I'm coming to your house there's the chance I'll have my kiddos with me to walk and play.
About: I grew up on a farm with animals so I’ve always had a love for all kinds of animals! We’ve had a range of sizes from a small Chihuahua to a big white German Shepherd! We currently have an almost 10 year-old beagle who loves other dogs and children! He’s down to play out in the backyard with other dogs or just hang out on the couch with them. We have a walkout basement that is the dog area that goes right out to the backyard. There’s a comfy couch down there for the dogs to hang out on if they wanted to, to cool off from the summer heat. We do prefer to have the dogs in a kennel at night time. I recently became cancer free and decided I wanted to be a stay at home mom with my toddler. Who wouldn’t want to play all day with their children and dogs?! So we will be in and out all the time to let the dogs out and to play in the backyard. I have a tall fenced in backyard. And our beagle, Toby, would love to keep your doggy company! We do prefer to kennel at night time if they are used to being in a kennel.
About: I’ve been around working dogs most of my life, breeding and raising high-drive dogs and learning how to properly handle different personalities and temperaments. I’ve worked with trainers across the country and have experience with obedience, structure, play, confidence building, and understanding dogs on more than just a basic level. Whether it’s a high-energy working dog or a laid-back family pet, I focus on making dogs feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for like they’re my own. I work with dogs full-time, so your dog will get plenty of attention, structure, and hands-on care throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I have crates available in multiple sizes, four outdoor runs, and a fully fenced yard to give dogs plenty of safe space and exercise. I also have a very social, well-mannered dog that can interact and play with client dogs if wanted. If preferred, I can also easily keep dogs completely separate thanks to how my setup is designed — whatever makes the owner most comfortable.

“Oban went to day care this past week at Donnie and Affton's home, and as before, the experience was great. I feel really comfortable leaving Oban in their care.”
About: My husband and I have been around animals all of our life. We have pet sit for our family and friends for many years and we love doing it so much that we have decided to extend our services to others.

We have a one story ranch home that is animal friendly. We have large chain linked fenced in yard in a quaint neighborhood. We have a 3 year old female Great Dane who is a big baby and loves to play with other dogs and gets along with cats. We have a cat who is a lover. If we need to go to a persons home we will be very respectful of their home and wishes.
“Joy has watched rocket a few times now but this was the longest stay yet! I am so grateful that she was able to watch rocket and show her so much love. It is a lot easier leaving her knowing she is getting so much love and attention from Joy!”

“Hollys communication is great! I appreciate that she was willing to cut walks short during a heat wave and hang with Pepe inside a little bit to give him the full time together!”
“When I met Rachel she was very friendly and loving to my dogs. She got down to their level and loved on them and took them out for a test walk. She always took care of the dogs at the time we agreed on and sent me pictures and updates on how the visit went. The dogs enjoyed the outdoor breaks that she gave them!”
About: I own a dog myself and have raised her and trained her on my own since I was 14. I love being surrounded by all types of dogs and their own little personalities. I currently have my locations in the Columbia area! I am a Mizzou student and am looking for potential dogs to walk, and or visit. I am free in the mornings until 9, and then free in the afternoons after 2. Some days vary, so we can discuss! I care for my own dog by prioritizing activness. She loves to go outside, with our fenched in backyard, and we play with a ball. I also love taking her for walks. But outside time isn’t always available, so I like to teach her new tricks or (gently) play with a toy inside. I think it’s also important to prioritize their health, making sure they eat and drink plenty of water.
“Morgan and her mini-assistant 😉 are they best team! They show up early, and are very communicative. Pippa absolutely adores them. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”
About: Ive been doing Rover now for almost 2 years and it has brought me so much joy and new friends! I worked a summer at kc zoo and it was the most fun job I have ever had. I've had dogs and cats my whole life. Also around horses from my uncle. I have adopted all of my animals from shelters. I love my dogs and cats like they are family. I have a teenage son I have to keep out of petco or any other animal place otherwise he wants to bring all the animals home, joking but not completely untrue. It's how we ended up with our Kitty Maisey. We even took care of the class's bearded dragon over spring break during Covid. He will come along on visits if available as he is the animal whisperer and wants to be a vet. Our 2 dogs are Dottie (our adopted covid pointer mix pup who is the sweetest girl and loves to have visitors to play with), and Marley who is our very sweet, laid back senior dog. Both our pups were rescues. Marley is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks so we sre familliar with giving medications and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Dottie is allergic to something during the late summer and September month and takes medicine for that allergy at that time. We believe in treats but only rawhide free and dental bones. Please bring your own food and treats and let me know if you prefer not to share our treats. We also have 2 cats that are used to dogs and in fact think that each dog is their mommy since we got them as kittens and have an attachment to their respective dog mommy. You will even find cats and dogs snuggling together on the bed. Or Moose playing with Dottie in his tunnel. I have had animals with special needs from a diabetic cat that I gave insulin injections to treating animals with special needs. I live right down the street from a great dog park here in belton. We would love to take any new friends to visit. Please let me know if you prefer them not to go to the dog park and we can stay here and play. We have a fenced back yard but one side is only 4 ft. I work from home as a director so I have a very flexible schedule. My son does play competitive soccer so sometimes weekends have us at soccer field for about 2 hours. I have a fenced yard 3 sides are 6 foot privacy and one has a 4 foot chain link. I follow my client's care directions in their homes.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes big and small. My aunt would go on vacations and leave me with the dogs. I’m good with high energy dogs and calm dogs. I would also love to take pictures of your animal to send during my time with them! I work night shift so I go in about 3pm and all morning I would be available to take care of dogs which would work for a lot of people considering they work during the day I have a big back yard that I could take them on a walk around if need be, my bathtub is pretty decent size if baths are needed. I would follow any list of instructions needed. If I were to go into someone else’s home I would leave things just as they are and make sure the pet is comfortable and content to the owners likes and needs

About: Before I had children, I had a pointer puppy. She was my world and I adored her like a child. I have had pointers, a springer spaniel, horses, a bird, a series of reptiles and cats since. My late husband was a rural veterinarian, so I am comfortable giving medication to pets. I am currently out of work and have a lot of free time during the week. I am also available most weekends. I can help with your busy schedule! I treat pets and homes as if they are my own. Your space will be cleaner than when you left so that you come home to a relaxing environment. I want to do what is most comfortable for your pets so I will keep their routine as closely as possible as when you're home.
“Jake absolutely adores Shelby! She went out of her way to meet us before the walk (Christmas night) and I really appreciated that. Jake is in good hands with her and I’m so glad we found her! Definitely will be using Shelby regularly.”
About: Hello, I have had experience with dogs my whole life, especially giant dogs, from Great Danes to mastiffs, from Shepard to labs, my family has owned and trained them all. I love to spend time learning how to train and engage with dogs of all breeds, I am not discriminatory towards any breed! All our dogs were raised since they were weeks old. Walking, exercise, training, feeding, snuggling, I’ve done it all. I work as a mechanic 4 days out of the week from 7-6pm. My shift rotates I always have Sunday and Mondays off and every other Friday and Saturday. If you have questions about my availability I’ll be happy to answer, I don’t mind pet sitting at anytime. I am willing to work around my schedule. I am currently in an apartment, if your puppet has good behavior when I step out I don’t mind leaving them out. I am familiar with crate training, so I can also put your puppet into crate if you feel more comfortable. Since I am in a small home I would take the pup out 3 times a day for walking/bathroom/exercise.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and currently care for my own dogs, bird, and aquariums every day. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets while they’re away. My background in healthcare has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and will keep my Rover calendar updated so it always reflects my availability. I make pet care a priority and enjoy spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will follow your instructions and routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I know every pet is different because I’ve experienced that with my own dogs. One of my dogs has epilepsy and takes medication on a strict schedule, so I understand how important routines, careful observation, and clear communication are. I have a fenced backyard and will follow your pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions exactly as you ask. Whether your pet is young, senior, or has special needs, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets.

“Kristy was absolutely wonderful with our amstaff/lab mix, Coltrane. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and thoughtful. She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, and it was obvious from every picture that Coltrane was happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying himself with Kristy and her family. One of the things we appreciated most was seeing Coltrane interacting so naturally and comfortably in their home environment. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was being treated like part of the family instead of just being “watched.” Kristy clearly loves dogs and pays close attention to their comfort and well-being. We would absolutely trust her with Coltrane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter.”
“Our pups were well taken care of and didn’t want to come home! Erin was very communicative and sent lots of updates and pics! We will definitely book with her again!”
“It gives me so much peace of mind for my 2 girls to stay with Carly and her family while I'm gone. She sends pics and updates and I think the dogs look forward to their own vacation at her house!”
“Olga was great with Otis and incredibly accommodating throughout his stay! She was able to take him a day earlier than originally planned on very short notice, and when our travel plans home were unexpectedly delayed, she was so patient and understanding about us needing to add an extra day as well. I really appreciated her flexibility and how easy she was to work with. I would absolutely use Olga again in the future if the need arises!”
“Bubba was very happy and content when we picked him up. He was tired from all the activity and play. A very positive experience for us and was the first experience for us using Rover. Nate was great with Bubba and flexible also to meet some extra requests extending our sitting needs .”
“Jenny was absolutely amazing!!!! She made my dog, Tucker feel right at home immediately! My dog absolutely LOVED playing with her dogs and being included in their daily life. Jenny sent pictures and updates every day with little stories how Tucker was doing. She was also super flexible and understanding when our flight was cancelled and we couldn't make our original pick up time! I was totally at ease knowing that Tucker was safe, happy, and I didn't have to scramble to figure out alternative plans when I was stuck MILES away! Thank you so much Jenny! You were a life saver!”
“Abigail was so wonderful to us and our pups. She kept us updated and sent a lot of pictures. She has a wonderful playful poodle that got along with our dogs great and they came home nice and tired! Highly recommend!”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“They did an amazing job with Nymeria. She was slow to warm up at first, but they kept me updated and reassured me that she was starting to come out of her shell and get comfortable. The communication they provided was very much appreciated and made me feel so much more comfortable knowing she was in a safe and loving environment. She is back home and sleeping soundly now, and I know she had a great time and received plenty of care and attention. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands and not sitting in a cold kennel without much human interaction. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and communication throughout her stay. I will absolutely be using their services again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”

“Chloe and Colliin have been incredible! I left my puppy, Polly, with them for nearly a week. It was my first time being away from her and I was very nervous, but Chloe sent pictures and updates a couple times every day. She was obviously happy and being treated like a member of the family! It made my time away so much easier! I highly recommend them and will definitely use them when ever we need to be away!”
