“Great family who definitely showed my pup lots of love while I was away! It was great getting to see pics and get updates during her week visit. They even had a Christmas stocking for her since she was there for the holidays! Will 100% come back to them in the future”


“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”


“Sonia and Jeff were very welcoming and took great care of our golden. I enjoyed meeting with them and seeing their home. They sent pictures and a video during the stay and our pup was wagging his tail and having fun. We will definitely book again! Drop off and pick up was super easy.”

“Our girls had a great time with Halle and Thomas (and Molly!) We got plenty of photos and updates on our trip, and both my husband and I agree we will gladly use them again in the future.”

“I hesitate to give a great review as I want to be sure Sharon is always available for my Molly but that would not be fair so here goes. Sharon was fabulous. My old Jack Russell terrier needed a place to stay for three days and after several bad visits with others we found Sharon thru a neighbor. She communicated very well and sent pictures daily. I will definitely be using her again.”

“Jeremy and Lauren are excellent Rover sitters! They were so easy to communicate with, very accommodating, understanding and easy going, and their Miley was so sweet to our little Zeke! Zeke was recovering from a GI infection, the couple kept a close eye on Zeke and was super reassuring! And oh, did I mention their amazing super fun backyard? Definitely will be booking with them again in the future, thanks guys! ❤️”

“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”

“Abby had another great stay with Carol!! Carol was super attentive to Abby’s initial dietary needs, and her progress throughout the week. She gave me regular updates and pictures of her enjoying time at her home and yard. Thank you Carol! Our family appreciates your wonderful care of Abby.”

“I could not have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving Otis with her. She has such a warm, loving home, a big yard for him to run and play in, and a sweet little girl dog of her own to keep him company. She was incredibly communicative throughout his stay and kept me updated on how he was doing, which meant so much to me. Otis is still a puppy with LOTS of energy, and he can definitely test the limits and be a little naughty at times! 😂 She handled all of his puppy antics like an absolute pro—with patience, kindness, and a great sense of humor. Most importantly, I could tell that Otis was genuinely cared for and loved while he was there. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your dog and know that he’s not just being “watched,” but is actually comfortable, happy, and treated like part of the family. I would absolutely trust her with Otis again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and capable sitter. We definitely found our Rover sitter! ❤️🐾”

“Denise watched my dog Bergy while we were away for a long weekend. She sent many pictures throughout the weekend ensuring that Bergy was happy and enjoying her time! Denise has the perfect fenced in backyard for dogs to play in. We will continue to use Denise to watch Bergy!”

“Marilyn and her family are wonderful. My corgi is always well loved and cared for with them. And Marilyn shares great photos so I can always see my pup while I’m away”


“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”

“Danielle provided a fabulous experience for Niko while we were away. He was able to have a lot of social play with many dogs, this was very new to him and he did great! She provided daily updates with pictures and videos to keep us at ease. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend! Thanks again!”

“Rajita was very sweet and took Buddy in at the last minute. He seemed happy with the photos I sent. She said her kids loved him, and that's what matters most: that he was loved. He's a loving little guy who loves love.”
“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”

“I can not believe our luck in finding Suzanne. She treats my pup like family. It's so great that she has children for my Buddy to play with. She goes above and beyond to understand your pet's needs and does everything she can to make their time away from home as comfortable as possible. She even took into account how Buddy likes to sleep, with me, of course. My only fear when I leave him with her and her family is that he won't want to come home.”

“Great experience! Andrew accepted my last minute request and took excellent care of Kali. Communication was smooth, and my Kali was well taken care of. I would definitely book again.”

“Our dog, Katya, was well taken care of during her stay with Evan at his farm. She enjoyed running around the farm and playing with the other dogs. She was very happy and relaxed on her return home. Would recommend Evan!”

“this was our 2nd time with kimberly and dustin and it was great!! one of our dogs had been there before, and was so excited at drop-off. they provided photos and updates throughout the stay. looking forward to having gnocchi and sophie stay here again in the future!”

“Teresa was absolutely WONDERFUL. We booked her pretty last minute, and we are so thankful to have found her to take of our little kitty :) We really appreciated that she did a meet-and-greet a few days before to get to know our kitty and his needs in person. She was always so quick to respond to any and all communication, and was always so thorough in reporting back to us after her visits to our place. Will definitely be booking her again for the future!”

“This was the 2nd time having Kimberly taking care of my 3 kitties, once again her services are awesome. The love, care, and kindness to my kitties while I was away was the best”


About: Every cat has their own language, and I believe in listening to it with patience and deep respect. When I visit your home, I understand that I am a guest in their sacred space. Your home will never feel disturbed by an uninvited visitor; instead, it will be filled with an atmosphere of absolute trust and love.I never force attention or rush a shy soul; instead, I let them set the pace, offering a gentle hand and quiet presence until they feel safe. I love capturing their true essence through soulful photographs and deeply emotional little videos, reflecting their unique character just for you.I tend to their world with meticulous care—keeping their litter boxes pristine, their water fresh, and always keeping a vigilant eye on open doors to ensure your indoor explorer stays completely safe. While you are away, these daily snapshots and stories will keep you connected to their mood, appetite, and quiet moments, giving you complete peace of mind knowing their routine is unbroken and their heart is fully cared for.

“She has been my go to sitter several times now. My cats who can be shy have warmed up to her overtime. I get lots of pictures which always eases my mind. Highly recommend.”

Our own furry family includes a longhair Chihuahua we rescued as a pup, a Chow-Chow mix rescued from the woods, and two gentle Great Pyrenees who serve as our lovable outdoor guardians.

“What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures.

About: I have had dogs from 30lbs to 150 lbs and I have loved them all! In my free time I volunteer hiking with dogs at a local animal shelter. And spend the rest of the time spoiling my two fur babies at home. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate a wide range of needs during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. My two fur babies are trained to listen off leash, but love to go for walks on leash. One is a couch potatoes that can be trusted and one a wild puppy that is crate trained. So I am used to a wide range of care needs.

About: I’ve had/been around many different types of dogs my entire life. My family would always want me to come over and train/watch theirs animals for them like I was the go to person for anybody who got a new pet. I also use to volunteer at a boarding company to help feed/walk the dogs. I currently do doordash so I can pretty much fit any request in to my schedule. The most amount of time I would be away would probably be around 5-6 hours. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I know how important routines are, so I make sure pets are fed on time, get plenty of attention, and feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and good at picking up on what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles.

“Marcus was great with our Maizey - he took great care of her while we were away. We could tell immediately that she took a liking to him and we felt good about leaving her in his care. He’s very polite and was quick to respond when we reached out. We will definitely book him again!”

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I’m experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, temperaments, and behavioral needs. Caring for animals is already a major part of my everyday life, so adding another dog to my routine fits naturally into my schedule. I live on a farm and care for multiple animals daily, including dogs, horses, poultry, and other farm animals. My days are already structured around feeding, watering, exercise, cleaning, training, enrichment, medication when needed, and monitoring the health and behavior of the animals in my care. As a professional dog trainer, I also understand that dogs need more than food and potty breaks. Dogs staying with me receive plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, enrichment, rest, and individual attention based on their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine. I am accustomed to planning my schedule around animals and making sure their needs are consistently met throughout the day. Safety is one of my highest priorities when caring for someone else’s dog. I am a professional dog trainer with years of veterinary medicine experience and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. This background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, body language, stress levels, and physical condition that might otherwise be overlooked. Dogs in my care are supervised and managed according to their individual temperament, training, and needs. I do not assume that every dog should interact with every other animal simply because they are staying in the same home. Dogs can be safely separated, crated, rotated, or given individual play and exercise time when appropriate. Because I live on a farm, I take additional precautions when dogs are outside. Every boarding dog wears a GPS tracking collar whenever they are outside of their secure kennel area, providing an additional layer of safety and security. Dogs are never given unnecessary freedom simply because they are staying in a rural environment. My goal is to provide a structured, safe, and enjoyable environment where owners can feel confident that their dog is receiving knowledgeable, individualized care while they are away.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Dogs seem to take to me well. I’ve worked as a junior groomer for a few months and trained my own dog. Not professionally, but he listens and understands. I’ve always loved dogs and been an animal person! I have an almost 4 month old baby so I have been a SAHM. I love to work and would like to help my family more. This way I can be at home loving on my son and also your fur babies! We just moved into our forever home due to my husband being retired Navy. We got married in Hawaii where he was stationed and I grew up. Our neighborhood was military and I would watch peoples dogs, board, check ins, walks. I worked at a doggie daycare and became close with a client who would bring her dog over to me to watch instead. Also, became very close with some people in the neighborhood whom I’ve take care of their dogs and now can say are friends like family!

“Bella just love to visit Sonia and Jeff and their dog Abby. She runs to Jeff with tail wagging when I drop her off. It is her second best home and I’m so happy that she is well cared for when I’m at work.”

“Carol is the best! She had great communication, took wonderful care of Obi, and has a great yard and home that is pet friendly and safe. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Karla and her family are amazing, and care so much for our little boy. Within a few hours of our first day care stay, I knew Karla’s place would be a great spot for Koda’s weekly daycare. He has so much fun with Karla’s dog Dexter - he’s always as happy as can be when I pick it up. I highly recommend Karla for anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter for their pup!”

“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”

“Joanna was a great sitter! As soon as we showed up she was so happy to meet Brandy and very warm towards to her. Brandy even got her own room, and there was plenty of space outside for her to run around. Lots of animals in the house but they seem to be separated from one another which is great. She even knitted brandy a little blanket! Thank you Joanna, we will definitely be using you again!”

I will definitely be using her again.”
