About: Hello everyone, My name is Brooke, I have been dog/ pet sitting ever since I was 14 years old. I am an animal lover and have always had dogs and cats around while growing up. I am a homebody. I am very responsible with pets and take pet sitting very seriously. I want to make sure the owner is as comfortable as possible and also that their fur family members are as well. I truly hope to be able to doggie sit for you and friends. I honestly believe that dogs are such a blessing to have in ones life, they live such short lives and deserve to be looked after by someone who cherishes them just as much as their owner do and when their owner is away for whatever reason, that is exactly what I will do for your fur baby. Thank you! Why I love dog/pet sitting I have been a dog and all animal lover all of my life. My parents made sure to always have a loving dog/cat around me at all times. I learned how to take care of a living creature from an early age. That dogs/cats/animals are to be treated with respect and to show nothing but love towards them. It also taught me responsibility from an early age. About my yard The yard is nice and big with a secure fence surrounding the whole property. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medications. I have had to do that with my dogs and cats I have done it previously with other dogs I have dog sat before as well. I am available to board full weekends as I do not work. I will make sure the get plenty of lovings while you are out and about. I work full time during the week but am able to be home by 4pm. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of safe space. If I’m at your home I will do what is normal for you furry family member(s) so they can feel as comfortable as possible.
“Kathy and her crew took extra special care of our boy Nikko. He will be returning to his favorite spot soon. She has a wonderful outdoor area and furry friends to keep your special ones company.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“Ashley was so great! I just moved to the area but previously used Rover in TN. Ashley was very responsive and kept me updated with how Brody was doing with text and photos. It’s so comforting having someone so attentive keep my boy while I’m out of town. I will definitely be using Ashley again in the future! Thanks so much ?”
“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
“We are new to the area and needed someone to watch our dogs. Our neighbor recommended Jamie. We felt confident from the meet and greet that our pups were in good hands. Jamie provided pics and kept us updated. We will definitely book with Jamie again.”
“Norma is awesome!! She is so accommodating to your schedule, keeps you well informed with lots of pictures and status updates and clearly loves what she does! Baker made some great new friends and came home exhausted after his long weekend with Norma.”
“This was the second time Carrie watched our dog, and she once again exceeded our expectations. We felt completely at ease leaving our fur baby in her care. She is dependable, attentive, and truly treats our pup like one of her own. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Charlie had a great first stay with Lipika. He was loved on and well taken care of while we were on vacation. We loved our daily videos and updates which put our minds at ease while we were away. He is a high anxiety little guy and Lipika was able to accommodate his special needs.”
“This by far has been the best Rover experience my dog Gucci is super anxious around people and SINDHU made him feel so welcome. I’m so blessed to I found her and her family. I will definitely use again. My flight was delayed. they even dropped Gucci off. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“Ava was outstanding! She and her family treated my dog like family; I got consistent updates and plenty of great pictures. Sorry this is long overdue we boarded back in December for a vacation and would definitely recommend them.”
“I feel like this is his second home. He’s just as happy there than he is at home. He love love loves Leslie. Thanks for taking care of my baby. You make my hangover mornings so much better 😜😂🫶🏾”
“Emilia was so wonderful. She accepted a last minute booking for me and was a great communicator. Although my doggie was a little nervous at first, Emilia reassured me he would be okay, and he did settle down! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Omg Shaunice saved me! I learned that my current sitter was leaving the state and couldn't keep Poundcake. I was worried I wouldn't find a sitter in enough time. She came through and was amazing with my pup. She was caring and sweet with him and sent tons of pics and videos. The pics were AMAZING. It was like Poundcake was having a photoshoot. He got to go to the dog park and make new fur friends. I am excited to have found my new pet sitter and will definitely book again!”
“Karen did an absolutely amazing job caring for Bucky! From the moment we met her, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and dependable she is. She treated Bucky like her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Her updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we could tell Bucky was relaxed and content in her care. It’s not easy to fully trust someone with your pet, but Karen exceeded every expectation. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and exceptional sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and prefers a quieter approach, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have cats of my own and have experience fostering, so I understand the patience and care that pets need to adjust and thrive. I work a full-time job, but I make pet care a priority and will always be upfront about my availability. My husband is also a dependable animal lover who is happy to help when appropriate, so your pets will always receive plenty of attention and care. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), or simply providing companionship. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like family while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.
“Caitlin is an AMAZING sitter! She cared for my senior kitty, with a variety of medical needs, above and beyond what I would have hoped for. I’m very protective of my kitty and don’t trust a lot of people to care for her but Caitlin is the absolute best! She is on time and very detailed with her drop in reports. Not only did she take amazing care of my cat but my home as well. If you have the opportunity to book Caitlin you won’t be disappointed!”
“Alyssa has cat sit for me twice now and has gone above and beyond to make sure my babies are well loved and taken care of while I was away! If you have the opportunity to book with her, you should!!”
“I’m so glad we found Lyndsey to check on our kitten while we went out of town for a few days. She updated us each day, sent pictures, and went above and beyond (thank you smoke detector for conveniently dying while we were gone haha). We look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Amanda took suchgood care of our two cats while we were away!! One of our cats in particular is very shy, and she warmed right up to Amanda very quickly. We LOVED the cute pictures and videos, and we really appreciated the updates on how they were doing. Our weekend out of town was all the more fun and restful because we knew our sweet cats were being well taken care of. We got home today and found them very happy and relaxed (normally they have a bit of separation anxiety and take a day or two to relax after my spouse and I come home, but this time they were very chill). We would LOVE to have Amanda care for our cats again sometime soon!”
“Jackie is the sweetest and my very unsocialized pups just adored her! I appreciate her playing with them and snuggling them and treating them like they are her own. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Chase did everything we asked and our dogs were well taken care of. I appreciated how gentle he was in response to our girly’s barking. He spent extra time with them the first night and communicated when he had schedule changes.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I’ve been asked by friends and family to dog sit many times, and have helped care for anxious dogs, as well as basic needs such as food and walks. I can also help with basic puppy training! I am available in the evenings M-F after 5pm, and on most weekends to stop in for visits or to stay overnight with your pet if needed! Right now, I have two cats in my home, but have access to a big yard and nearby parks for walking dogs and letting them play.
“Kathy took really good care of my Snickers <3 This was my first time leaving her alone and I was nervous, but it went well and she seems very well taken care of. I’m so happy about how this went and will definitely ask for Kathy again in the future!”
“Maylin is an absolutely amazing pet sitter! She is so patient with my super scared cat and always gives him the time and space he needs to warm up to her. She’s always on time, incredibly detail-oriented, friendly, and her communication is amazing. I feel completely comfortable knowing Shadow is in such great hands with her. I’m so thankful to have found someone I can truly trust with his care, and I will always use Maylin whenever I need a pet sitter. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Emma was fantastic!! We received pictures and updates with every visit. She sent us concerns to ensure they were not out of the ordinary and we returned to happy well cared doggos. We will be repeat customers for sure!! Thank you Emma!!!”
“Michelle always takes care of our kitty boys so well! We appreciate her communication and attentiveness. One of our boys takes meds and also needs a little extra patience to make sure his food/meds are eaten. She takes the time to sit with him and encourage him until he’s eaten most of it. Thanks, Michelle!”
About: Hi! I have 7+ years of hands-on animal care experience and started working with animals as a kennel tech and bather. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, reptiles, and rodents of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I’ve also worked at an animal hospital and a dog training facility. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy/nervous dogs, puppies, seniors, and multi-pet households. I also have bathing experience and genuinely love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I do Rover as a fun side job because I truly love animals, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own 🤍 I work full-time at an office job so my evenings and weekends are typically free! I leave my house at 8:30, can take my lunch hour whenever throughout the day and usually get home by 6:30. I always have Sundays off and will either have a Saturday or Monday off as well. My house has a fenced in yard with plenty of shade and nature. My roommate and I have two senior dogs that spend most of their time napping or asking for pets. We feed them twice a day and take them out to potty 4-5x daily. We also have two house cats that keep each other company. They are all neutered/spayed.
“Great communication during the trip. Followed all my instructions for taking care of my kitties. Did not worry about my kitties at all during my vacation. Will definitely use again for future trips!”
“He accommodated his schedule to fit out pet’s needs. Kept communication and wrote daily updates on my pets! Plenty of pictures which I loved. I appreciate his knowledge and willingness to work with exotic animals! We appreciate you”

“Kathy is so sweet & very attentive with my dog. She's also great at communication, which I've found to be a rare occurrence on Rover. She cares for other dogs while keeping mine, but I would never know if she hadn't told me! She sends pics throughout the day & promptly updates time cards. She's so compassionate & truly cares for my fur baby's wellbeing. I highly recommend Kathy!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Rachel was fantastic with me needing to book Cricket within days while being a new client and even being able to do a meet and greet the day I booked! Her flexibility was great. I gave her the run about cricket and her being dog reactive and Rachel ensured me that she would make sure Cricket would not interact with other dogs. When I picked her up Rachel was ready with her and gave me an entire summary of how cricket did and how she adjusted to a new environment. She even gave us a referral to a trainer to help with her reactivity! It was a success and we will be returning!”
“Ava did a great job watching Tofu while we were away during the day. She sent updates on how he was settling in. She was on time and had no problem communicating. Will definitely consider booking again and recommend her.”
About: I’ve raised 2 dogs of my own since they were puppies and one is now a senior. I have received many compliments of being the best dog mom but I am also a very attentive and responsible pet sitter. I have taken care of cats and dogs alike and I truly love and care for them like they are my own. I have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day or evening. I am more of a morning person for sure but I am very flexible. I have a fenced in front and back yard which makes it easy to let dogs outside. I am also very active so walking or running is no problem.
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs. My dad was a dog trainer in Alaska so I was able to learn a lot from him over the years. Since then my family has had our own dog which sadly passed away a year ago after 12 sweet years together. We have dog sat for friends and family over the years as our home makes a great space for dog sitting, but have not professionally dog sat before until now. We work from home so your pup will rarely be on their own. We also have a fenced back yard so they can play outside safely! We have three daughters that love to play with dogs so they will keep them perfectly entertained. We enjoy family walks in our neighborhood that your pup would join us on! We currently have no other pets after our sweet dog passed away a year ago. We miss having a dog in our home but aren’t ready for a new permanent pup so Rover seemed like a wonderful idea for our family. Your dog will be treated as our own with our girls being able to play with your pup in our fenced back yard.
“Debora was absolutely amazing! She sent photos and little updates to let me know that Bourbon was doing great throughout the day. Bourbon had such a great time he passed out when he got home. I would 100% recommend Debora and her beautiful home to anyone looking for a little help with their fur baby.”
About: I always hear people talk about the love of their pet. I understand how that feels since I now have a fur baby of my own. I work from home for the most part; therefore, I have the ability to give your fur baby the attention and care that they deserve. Pet love is the purest form of love. I have a fenced in big back yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I also have a cozy and clean indoor space where your baby can rest and feel at home.
“Stacey was fantastic!! She sent lovely photographs of my dog having a blast playing outside! She was very organized with pick-ups and drop-offs and I would absolutely trust her with my dog any time.”
About: We groom our own dogs, train them, and value giving them proper exercise and can do the same for your pups too! We are patient, pay attention to details provided by owners and would love to service your family! We freelance and have a very flexible schedule! Since there are two of us, your animal will always be taken care of in a timely manner! In our home, we make sure animals are comfortable and happy, following all instructions given by their owners meticulously. When we do home visits, we love to take our time and give the animals attention they deserve.
“Kevin’s communication before and during his care of our precious cargo was wonderful. Thank you so much, we are so blessed to have crossed paths with you and will undoubtedly see you again.”
“Sequoia always lives staying with Norma and her pups. Having the fenced in back yard where she can relax and play is so nice on these beautiful fall days. Hopefully, soon she will be spending a few nights with Norma and be totally pampered.”
“Shay was everything we could have hoped for, she was caring, friendly, communicative and incredibly easy to work with. She took the time to introduce our two puppies to her dog in a thoughtful way that made the experience super easy. She sent tons of photos and videos of our guys playing with her dog and it made this somewhat stressful situation for us extremely easy. We were in town for an event and she made us going to it easy with how well she communicated before we booked and during their stay with her. I can not recommend her any higher.”
“Happy we found Lynann to care for our pooch. One less worry off my mind as I know Reesey is happy and well taken care of. Love the videos and pics. So much communication which eases any worries.”
About: Foster mom and bottle feeder with a puppy rescue. Live on 10acres with trails thru out and cul de sac…great for walks! Also cared for dementia patient last 3 yrs…very patient and loving!

“My Winston absolutely loves it at Kim’s house! He just struts right in like he owns the place. Her pups couldn’t be any sweeter & we feel so lucky we found her . Thanks Rover for making this so easy.”
“Bri and her husband were great! They were waiting for us when we arrived and made Nyla feel so comfortable, slowly introducing her to the other dogs. I got the cutest photos and regular updates. We will definitely be back!”
“We love Karen and so does Tucker. Every time we are in town, we book daycare with Karen. Karen is friendly, communicative and a wonderful person. We feel extremely comfortable in leaving our fur baby with her!”
“Lipika was amazing. My usually nervous, anxious dog seemed perfectly at ease when I picked her up at the end of her stay. I got so many updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. She was fed and walked multiple times. She had a comfortable stay in their home and access to their yard as well. I would recommend this doggy day care to anyone who is considering. Thank you for taking great care of my dog!”

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing with my dog. She spent a lot of quality time with her,long walks and a lot of attention. She sent so many pictures and detailed information for each walk! This was our first time with Rover and was nervous on how our dog would respond because she was from a shelter. Well she absolutely loved Caitlin and was so happy when she would come to walk her ! There was a lot of tail wagging and even sat in her lap to get scratches! I think our pup made a new bestie!! We will definitely use her again!! Thank you for treating our puppy like your own!”

“Jamee was a huge life saver and was able to take my dogs for a walk when I had last minute travel changes. She was very responsive and communicated throughout the walk. She went above and beyond. She sent me photos and reassured me that they were doing okay. She also fed my dogs with no complaints.”
“Victoria did a fantastic job with our two pups! She was right on schedule for their walks and gave us detailed feedback each day. I highly recommend her and plan to use her for all our future dog sitting / walking needs!”
“Ronnie was THE BEST!!! So attentive and loving to my sweet girl Bonnie. I felt at ease knowing she was well taken care of! Was new to the area and Ronnie will be my first call when needed! Thank you!!”
“Jackie responded quickly to my request. She helped ease my mind, by getting my dog out for a walk and loving on him. She sent updates, and followed through on all of my requests. 10/10 recommendation!”

About: My approach to pet care is rooted in adaptability. Whether providing a high-intensity trek for an energetic puppy or a gentle, patient stroll for a senior companion, I tailor every outing to the specific needs of the breed and temperament.

I approach pet sitting with a high level of diligence and a detail-oriented mindset, taking the responsibility of following your specific household routines and safety protocols very seriously.

About: I got my first dog when I was 31 and it's been a love story ever since. It's me and my kind 4 year old mixed breed. I have experience with teeny, tiny Chihuahuas up to gentle giants. I'm home full time right now, so your dog will have plenty of attention when staying with me. When I am out of the house my dog is free to roam. If your dog is house trained, they can be loose or in their crate if they prefer. I have a fenced in patio and a closed deck that your dog can hang out on with supervision. I have a couple tie downs around the yard and a 25 ft lead. Finally, I walk my dog twice a day and will do the same for yours.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of pets since I was very little. I know how to give meds and can administer basic training. While your baby is here he/she will become apart of the family till you pick him/her up. We wake up with our toddler which will be about 6:30 every morning. We will then take your pet out for a walk and then keep to what ever schedule you have set for your pet. We are a very active family so your pets will probably be outdoors with us going hiking or just playing outside. I currently don't have a fenced in yard but I will put a leash on your pet till I get one
“Alyssa was fantastic with both my dogs, I felt very comfortable with them in her hands. She left a very detailed write up of her time with them and took many pictures! Having Alyssa spend time with my dogs have me a great peace of mind while away. I would definitely recommend!”
About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope you find what you are looking for here, and please feel free to reach out if you have further inquiries. I typically to respond to customers (both present and potential!) within 30 minutes between the hours of 7 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. My name is Samm, I am 29 years old & live in downtown Kannapolis, and I'm the licensed & insured sitter you've been searching for! While there are many great sitters on Rover, what sets me aside from others is I am licensed and insured (privately- beyond the "Rover Guarantee"). Your safest and most secure bet for your pet will always be with me- check out my reviews! I have been professionally using Rover since 2015. I built my client base in Charlotte and loved every single one of my clients- both pups and parents. I took a hiatus due to COVID and moved from south Charlotte to Kannapolis, and am now opening my services back up to welcome in new clients in the area. While many Rover sitters specialize in dogs, I have experience with all walks of life when it comes to pets- dogs, cats, fish (saltwater and freshwater tanks), birds (including fowl such as chickens, geese, ducks, etc.), reptiles and amphibians (yes even snakes!) so rest assured that whatever pets you have, they will be in loving and experienced hands when in my care. While I am not a paid dog trainer, I do love to work with my clients puppies (young and old) on reinforcing their training as per their parents desires. This ranges from crate training to leash pulling to general obedience, and everything in between. I understand that as a pet parent, you know best for your pup and their home environment. Please do not be afraid to add in special "requests" as such when booking with me. I have a vast amount of experience with senior dogs and dogs who live with disabilities. I am able to administer medications in a timely manner (pills, liquids, and injections) when required, and I am trained in first aid in the event of an emergency. I am currently studying engineering and have a flexible schedule outside of my studies. I would love to fill my spare time doting on your pets! 9 times out of 10, I am able to arrange to accommodate your schedule when given a sufficient notice. I am currently no longer offering overnights or daycare to new clients at my home, as we now have chickens and ducks as pets in our backyard. While our birds are acclimated and unphased by our dogs, there is always a possibility that our birds can trigger a prey drive in unacquainted dogs. While I can survive the heartache of losing a chicken (EVERYTHING hunts chickens around here!), chicken bones can pose a very serious and potentially deadly threat to dogs when ingested. So, for everyone's safety, I am currently only offering services outside of my home. As such, I am available for drop-in visits in your home, walks, as well as house sitting. Please read on for what you can expect out of each type of visit in your home, and as always, reach out at any time for further information if needed. Walks: I offer 30 minute or 1 hour walks. This service is perfect for those who work or are out of the house, but need someone to help with making sure their pet gets exercise and a potty break. 30 minute walks are typically 0.5 miles to 1 mile in distance, sometimes more or less depending upon your dogs size and energy levels. A 1 hour walk is usually ~2 miles. During these visits, my main priority is getting your dog outside and nicely tired out so you can enjoy your day uninterrupted. I will make sure your dog gets a potty break while we are out, so all you have to worry about afterwards is where your dog wants to take their nap :) Drop-In Visits: I currently offer 30 minute and 1 hour drop-in visits. This is typically what an owner will book me for if they are out of town and need a sitter to drop in and make sure the household and pets are doing well. During this time, my first priority is medication administration, if applicable. Second to that in priority is ensuring your pup gets to relieve themselves. Please specify if you prefer your dog use your yard, or if you would like for us to take a stroll around the neighborhood. I take 15-20 minutes of walk or backyard play for 30 minute visits, and about 30-40 minutes for hour visits. The remainder of my visit will be to replenish food and water, give treats, pets, and attention, and clean up any messes that may have occurred. Please note that this is MY general outline- if you have a different routine you'd like me to follow that works better for you and your pet, simply notify me of such and I will be more than happy to follow your procedures. House Sitting: I will be staying overnight in your home and provide daily care and company for your pets and home. I will provide my own food, toiletries, personal items, etc., so you will only have to worry about and focus on gathering what your pet needs while you are away. Please note that I will not be at your home 24 hours a day. I will likely have to leave for class or to tend to my pets at home. If you need constant care at home for your pet, I am able to arrange for that to happen at an additional cost- please just let me know in your original booking inquiry. With a house sitting booking, you can expect me to perform all the everyday activities your pet requires. This includes timely administration of medications, sticking to your desired feeding routine, and as many walks and playtimes as you desire. Please let me know the desired duration of walks/play as I do not want to overexert your pet, or alternatively, not give them enough exercise. Light housekeeping will be performed- plants will be watered, mail will be taken in daily, sweeping/vacuuming fur and dirt, and general cleaning up after your pet in the event of messes. I make sure that your home is in the same or better condition as when you left it. I do not smoke or drink and will not be bringing unauthorized persons onto your property. Typically I send one update (accompanied by pet photos) per day around the afternoon. If you would like more- no problem! Just inform me of such and I am happy to keep you as much in-the-loop as you desire.

About: Hello everyone, My name is Brooke, I have been dog/ pet sitting ever since I was 14 years old. I am an animal lover and have always had dogs and cats around while growing up. I am a homebody. I am very responsible with pets and take pet sitting very seriously. I want to make sure the owner is as comfortable as possible and also that their fur family members are as well. I truly hope to be able to doggie sit for you and friends. I honestly believe that dogs are such a blessing to have in ones life, they live such short lives and deserve to be looked after by someone who cherishes them just as much as their owner do and when their owner is away for whatever reason, that is exactly what I will do for your fur baby. Thank you! Why I love dog/pet sitting I have been a dog and all animal lover all of my life. My parents made sure to always have a loving dog/cat around me at all times. I learned how to take care of a living creature from an early age. That dogs/cats/animals are to be treated with respect and to show nothing but love towards them. It also taught me responsibility from an early age. About my yard The yard is nice and big with a secure fence surrounding the whole property. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medications. I have had to do that with my dogs and cats I have done it previously with other dogs I have dog sat before as well. I am available to board full weekends as I do not work. I will make sure the get plenty of lovings while you are out and about. I work full time during the week but am able to be home by 4pm. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of safe space. If I’m at your home I will do what is normal for you furry family member(s) so they can feel as comfortable as possible.
“We had a fantastic experience with Brittany! They took such great care of our Cooke while we were away—sending regular updates, photos, and making sure all of our pup’s needs were met. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about animals and treated our dog like family. When we came to pick Cooke up he was so happy and relaxed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and trustworthy sitter!”
“Our dog had never stayed with someone else, and she is a clinger to us, so we were not sure how well she would do. Emily and Tyon took such incredible care of her- she felt right at home playing ball with the kids, cuddling on the couch, and going for walks. We would absolutely use their services again in the future! I can’t recommend them enough :)”
“We are new to the area and needed someone to watch our dogs. Our neighbor recommended Jamie. We felt confident from the meet and greet that our pups were in good hands. Jamie provided pics and kept us updated. We will definitely book with Jamie again.”
“Norma is awesome!! She is so accommodating to your schedule, keeps you well informed with lots of pictures and status updates and clearly loves what she does! Baker made some great new friends and came home exhausted after his long weekend with Norma.”
“Charlie had a great first stay with Lipika. He was loved on and well taken care of while we were on vacation. We loved our daily videos and updates which put our minds at ease while we were away. He is a high anxiety little guy and Lipika was able to accommodate his special needs.”
“This by far has been the best Rover experience my dog Gucci is super anxious around people and SINDHU made him feel so welcome. I’m so blessed to I found her and her family. I will definitely use again. My flight was delayed. they even dropped Gucci off. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“Emilia was so wonderful. She accepted a last minute booking for me and was a great communicator. Although my doggie was a little nervous at first, Emilia reassured me he would be okay, and he did settle down! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Karen did an absolutely amazing job caring for Bucky! From the moment we met her, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and dependable she is. She treated Bucky like her own, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Her updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we could tell Bucky was relaxed and content in her care. It’s not easy to fully trust someone with your pet, but Karen exceeded every expectation. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and exceptional sitter.”
About: I got my first dog at 15 and have never gone without pets since. I have service dogs and I’m comfortable with working breeds and the training that is associated. I also have a cat, several reptiles, and some misfits critters. There’s really not much I won’t be able to handle given enough information concerning your pet. I’m also a former medic and have plenty knowledge for special needs animals and identifying emergencies. Pet care is the start and end of my day, a lot of my schedule revolves around my mini-zoo. I’m a part time worker with full control over my schedule which allows me to focus deeply on my animal’s needs. I care about my pets as if they are family. Their activity levels, training, affection, diet, and rest are an every day concern. Others pets would be seen the same way and given the same level of care. I have plenty alternative means of caring depending on the pet personality as well, I.e. kennels, separate or same rooms, special walks and even some training thrown around in.
“Bri was a great dog sitter! She was super responsive and took my dog in last minute notice. She sent pictures right away letting me know my dog was doing good from the beginning. She has kids, and she is very respectful of shy and anxious puppies with the kids, making sure they don’t overwhelm your dog and just made for a super easy hand off. Would always let Bri watch my puppy!”
“Kevin had availability as we decided on a spur-of-the-moment trip out of town. He was FANTASTIC with our two girls. Sent pics/videos of our pups playing. Took them out for car rides and to go play with his mom’s dogs (after asking if they are good with other dogs, of course). Would recommend 100x over. Our girls loved him. Thanks, Kevin!!”
“Mike was awesome. His extensive knowledge on dog behavior, his experience as a trainer and his kind demeanor towards animals gave me confidence that my dogs were in good hands. This was the first time I left my dogs with Mike but I will most definitely use him again. He was super!”
“Stacey was awesome for our dog’s weekend stay! She sent updates and pictures daily and he seemed to have a great time playing with the other dogs in her spacious backyard play space. She was extra accommodating when our travel plans made us a couple hours late to for pick up and we really appreciated that we knew Dug was in good hands! Thank you Stacey!”
“Dennise was absolutely the BEST! She made my fur baby feel right at home while I was out of the country for a week. She even kept her for a few days of doggy daycare before my trip, which helped them bond and gave me so much peace of mind. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which really eased my anxiety about being away for so long. I honestly think my dog thinks this is her second home! I highly recommend Dennise, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“I want to thank Katherine for taking such good care of our beagles! They were comfortable from the start in her huge fenced in yard and her sweet pups! The daily pictures to see what they were up to was greatly appreciated! Katherine did not hesitate to offer to put her extra large dog crate up so I did not have to bring mine! I would definitely recommend and I will keep her in mind for future trips!”
“Maggie was a great find on Rover! She is close by; very attentive to our and our doxipoo’s needs while she stayed at Maggie’s home for a week. She sent many pictures and provided updates regularly. Would definitely use her services again! 5 star!!”
