“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Emily was absolutely amazing with my little boy! She watched him for 2 nights and kept me updated constantly through Rover with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 5/5 — would absolutely recommend Emily! 🐶❤️”

“Denis was absolutely wonderful with my energetic orange boy cat! He was great at communicating every day and noting anything in terms of behavior which helped make me feel calm during the early days. Not entirely sure who’s vacation was better 🐈🤍 Would highly recommend him and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“Grace and Wu were fantastic. Our cat is a bit shy, but Grace and Wu gave her all the space and love she needed to do well in an unfamiliar environment. Highly recommended if you ever need a sitter!”


“Vanessa was kind, patient and responsive. This was my first time leaving Jax with a sitter and she put me at ease the entire time. I received daily pictures and updates. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone that is nervous about leaving their pet for the first time.”

“Margarita was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and made everything so easy for me. She picked him up and brought him home, which was especially helpful since I was having surgery. I really appreciated knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Juliana was an absolute angel! She kept us updated every day with adorable pictures of Dexter and little snippets of his day. Dexter was in great hands with her and she eased all of my worries about him adjusting to not being at home. She took such great care of him and I will continue to use her for all of our vacation plans!”


“This is my 2nd time trusting Diane to watch my son while on vacation and she is so sweet, caring, and reassuring. She sends me a lot of pictures, videos, and correspondence the s tire trip. Kobe loves her and her friendly dog Marley. Book with Diane! Thanks again Diane”

“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful for finding the most amazing person who took care so well of my dog She sent pictures and I was able to see how my dog was doing I really appreciate that I had issues with my flight so I couldn’t pick up my dog the time I supposed to However she kindly understood my situation also let my dog stay with her one more night Thank you !!! The Best pet sitter ever!💕💜”

“Ilona was wonderful with Princess. Princess had a seizure which she hasn’t had in months and Ilona was so warm, caring and comforting to Princess. It really put my family and I at ease since we were not there. Ilona provided frequent updates and made Princess’s stay a very comfortable one. We highly recommend Ilona! Thank you so much for taking great care of Princess, Ilona!!!”

“Kristin is amazing and so accommodating! I’m so appreciative of her for making my kitty feel so comfortable and loved while I was away. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving home for their pets.”

“I am so thankful Charlie was available for a last minute booking/ boarding for our dog, Bibi. After communicating our needs, we knew Charlie was a great fit. Our dog felt right at home, and Charlie communicated frequently throughout her time there, including sending picture and video updates unprompted. We would love the opportunity to re-book with Charlie in the future.”

“I've booked with Nari & Ryan several times and they are the only people I trust with my dog, superseding close friends and family . They provide photos, videos and updates without having to request them and it's always a nice surprise. It's clear that they adhere to all given instructions and ensure his safety and happiness. But the biggest indicator of their great care is how excited my dog is to see them every time. He zips in their home without giving a me a second look (sad but glad), greeting their lovely daughter who is equally as responsible. Every time, I book in hopes that they are available. Thank you Nari!”

“Jonalynn was awesome and came in clutch for a last minute booking with my Bully/Pit mix. She was awesome. My dog Bleu loved his stay and has been sad since leaving her.”


About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience, professional pet care skills, and a home environment designed around each dog’s individual needs. I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs, including dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to body language, comfort level, and interactions so I can recognize when a dog is relaxed, overwhelmed, or needs more personal space. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I’m both pet CPR certified and a certified groomer. This allows me to provide attentive daily care while also helping with brushing, bathing, coat care, and general cleanliness when requested. My home has a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks, along with additional rooms that allow me to separate dogs based on size, temperament, energy level, or individual comfort needs. I understand that every dog has a different routine, so I do my best to accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping preferences, sensitivities, and other special instructions from parents. I also send frequent photo and video updates throughout each stay. My goal is not only to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, but also to give parents real peace of mind while they are away. Caring for dogs is a major part of my daily life and my full-time focus. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, outdoor play, feeding, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and adjusting their routine so they can feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay. I’m pet CPR certified and also a certified groomer, so I’m comfortable providing basic coat care, brushing, bathing, and grooming services when requested. For longer boarding stays, I’m happy to include a complimentary basic bath when appropriate. For shorter stays, bathing or grooming services can be added for an additional fee. My priority is always to provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care for every dog staying with me. I live in a clean and well-kept home with a private backyard of approximately 900 square feet, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air throughout the day. I also have additional rooms available, which allows me to separate dogs by size, energy level, or comfort needs when necessary. This helps each dog have a safe and quiet place to rest, settle in, and decompress without feeling overwhelmed. I have a 3-year-old Border Collie who is very sweet, gentle, and full of positive energy. He has done very well with other dogs and enjoys spending time and playing with them. I carefully supervise all interactions and introduce dogs gradually, while paying close attention to their body language, personality, and comfort level. I never force dogs to interact if they need more time or personal space. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, supervised backyard time, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to relax comfortably indoors. I also try to follow each dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and daily routine as closely as possible. Sleeping arrangements can be flexible based on the owner’s preference and the dog’s needs. For dogs who are more sensitive or feel more secure near people, I can arrange for them to sleep in the same room with me. After outdoor time, I clean the dogs’ paws to help keep them comfortable and maintain a clean living environment. I also pay attention to brushing and overall cleanliness throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and welcoming home where every dog receives individualized care and owners can feel confident while they are away.
“Amy and her family were absolutely incredible. My skittish mid-size terrier mix, Sammy, was very comfortable and truly well cared for. Amy and family took time to understand him, give him space to warm up, respect his feelings, and treat him like their own. We met in advance in a park for a long walk and for a home visit, all to prepare Sam and all of us. Amy provided us with daily updates and pictures. We feel so fortunate to have connected with Amy and family. We already discussed next time 😊 Love, love, love Amy, HP, and the boys. Don’t hesitate if you need a loving home for your fur baby ❤️”

“I had a last-minute trip scheduled and was initially very concerned about leaving my dog in someone else's care. After conducting some research, I found Rover, specifically Adriana. Her presence immediately alleviated the stress I was experiencing. Adriana is clearly an animal lover, a kind soul, and an excellent caregiver. If you ever need someone to care for your pet, I highly recommend her. To be honest, I felt a bit envious when I saw the pictures of how happy my dog was, but I am so glad to know that she felt at home with Adriana. Thank you, Adriana! It is comforting to know that there are kind and generous people like you who genuinely care for animals.”

“Jen was absolutely amazing! Our cat is a senior and generally hates everyone, but he took to her immediately, which says a lot! She came every day on time, spent plenty of time with him, and was incredibly diligent about making sure he received every dose of his medication. Her updates were fantastic and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She always let us know how he was doing and alerted us to anything we should be aware of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, took wonderful care of him, and even brought in our mail without being asked. We will absolutely be using Jen again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with their pets!”


“We love when Josue is taking care of our cats while we are away. It gives us peace of mind when living them under his care. He was able to accommodate our last minute travel changes and is always great and caring with our cats. We highly recommend Josue.”

“Lawrence is a very kind and likable young man. He truly loves cats and was very attentive with my Schnoozy. He regularly sent me photos and videos. He is very responsible. I would highly recommend him.”

“Huixian C took very good care of our cats while we were away. Our boys were very happy!! She was very thorough with her job and was extremely reliable. We felt very at ease with the care our cats received while we were away. We hope to use her again on our next trip !”

“Cynthia was amazing with Moon! She was super affectionate with him and kept me updated while I was away. She also kept his litter box tidy and clean. So grateful to have her help in caring for my baby.”


“Shibo was absolutely amazing! I have two male cats, and one of them I had just adopted 10 days before leaving for my trip. He was very skittish when I first got him, but he warmed up to Shibo right away. My other cat took a liking to him immediately as well—who wouldn’t! Shibo was so wonderful, giving my cats the attention they needed while I was away. In the past, I relied on neighbors and people just stopping by to feed and check on them, but my experience with Shibo has completely changed my perspective. It is worth every penny to have someone as great as him looking after your fur babies! When I returned, I could see the difference in my fluffy companions in the best way as this is very early in their introduction phase. I had peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Shibo provided fantastic updates and beautiful photos, making it clear that my cats had a wonderful time with their new friend. I have full trust in Shibo as I also came home to find everything exactly as I expected. I highly recommend Shibo for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Especially cats.”


“Very reliable! Nasimul and Dominique would lmk when they started and ended the visits. Sent tons of pics and were super responsive. They even brought up packages for me and took it upon themselves to sweep up litter from my living room!”


“Thank you, Brianna, for taking care of my elderly cats for two weeks! Usually, when I leave them, they get upset and could pee all over and make a mess. At this time, I came back to the clean apartment, and my cats were healthy and cheerful 😻.”

About: Hello! My name is Julissa. I have so much love for all pets and animals. Growing up, i’ve always had a dog in the house, and they were always such an important member of our family. It’s been about five years since I’ve had a dog of my own. My last dog’s name was Sasha. We adopted her when she was six and had her until she was about thirteen. She was so smart, loving, and anxious when we first got her so our first few years together were spent establishing trust. Eventually we managed to off-leash train and we worked a lot on her recall so that we could enjoy longer walks and outdoor activities while ensuring that she always felt safe in her environment. At home we set her bed up in the kitchen, where we would pass our time cooking and spending a lot of quality time together. I had so many good years with my Sasha, and since she passed I have genuinely missed spending time with animals on a consistent basis. Since then, most if not all of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their animals when they are busy or traveling, so I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets and their varying needs/personalities. I work freelance as an artist. I am a musician, so I often stay at home practicing or composing. However most of my work is in the film industry, and this work ranges from smaller independent projects to network television. Although I do work on set sometimes, I try to take on as many post-production gigs as possible, so I often find myself sitting behind a desk all day. I have always made it a priority to work in a field that I am passionate about, and my decision to work with Rover has been no different. Caring for animals is not only something I am passionate about, but also a wonderful opportunity to go on walks and spend quality time with pets. I will always be very clear about any changes in my work schedule if those are to arise, but my reliability and dedication never wavers I have a fenced in yard and plenty of spaces in the house for your pet to wander and feel comfortable. I am also very trust worthy, organized, communicative, and extremely eager to work with you!

About: Cat Lady with Vet Assistant Background I have taken care of my neighbor’s cats, friend’s cats, and cats in the animal hospital. I have experience administering medicine and handling cats through volunteer shelter work. I will make sure your cat’s food, water, and litter are clean and filled and your cat is purring. Trusted animal lover in my friend group and family. Reach out and we can discuss what your cat’s specific needs are!

“Antoinette was wonderful. She stayed in communication with me while I was away and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were fed, happy and comfortable. I would absolutely use her again !”

“Jessica is awesome. She's very responsible and diligent. We've never had a vacation with a drop-in sitter before and she's relieved all of my concerns. She answered all my questions during the meet and greet, followed instructions perfectly, and sent me daily photos. My cat was happy and healthy when we returned. Highly recommended!! A+++”

“Jason is absolutely amazing and continues to exceed my expectations every time! He’s taken care of Cali and Willie 3 or 4 times now, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Jason always keeps me informed with daily updates, so I never have to worry. He truly cares for my pets as if they were his own and goes above and beyond in every way. I’m so grateful for his kindness and dedication, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future.”


“Kaitlyn is awesome! She took care of my 3 cats. 2 of them need daily thyroid meds. She had no issues giving them their medications. She sent updates and pictures at every visit. I would definitely recommend her. We will be using her next time we go away and I don’t have to worry about being away from my babies!”


“Thaisha was a great sitter for our pets over the holidays. She was communicative, easy to get in touch with, and did great with our big dog who is very fearful of new people. We would definitely book her again! Thanks Thaisha!”


About: taking care of animals has been my passion since i got my first dog at age 11. it was love at first sight. i trained and groomed her for all of her 13 years. she showed me that a dog can be more then a pet and what unconditional love is. they are pure inocense and should always be loved and protected. i have groomed and taken care of a variety of dogs. i have had many different breeds. bulldog. maltease, yorkie, labordor and german shepard. i went to school for it and got certified in grooming\pet care. i am not afraid of big dogs and i am gentle with the tiny ones. i will protect and take the very best care of your pet. i will treat them as my own.
About: I'm an incredibly active individual. I love to lift weights, practice martial arts, hike, and go on runs. This allows me to be an excellent fit for a dog whose energy levels are high. If you'd prefer for me to not just take your dog to the bathroom, but provide them a good amount of exercise as well, I'm a great fit! When I'm not taking care of dogs I work as a writer, director, and editor on films, social media videos, and commercials. If you've ever wanted any photos or videos of you and your four legged friend (or just them) I can provide high quality images/videos for you as well whether you want to just show off to your friends and family or just to have status updates on how your dog is doing. Because I work freelance my schedule tends to be flexible and allows me to set my own hours usually. I will work with you as best as I can to fit your needs within my schedule. I treat dogs very similarly to how I treat people. I show them a great deal of respect, empathy, and love. I do tend to spoil my own dog here and there, but I also try to love him as unconditionally as he does to me. A golden rule I try to follow is treat others the way you want to be treated. Another golden rule I try to follow is to see myself in others. I also apply these two golden rules to my encounters with pets and nature in general.

“Evelyn was great and was very flexible with our ever changing schedule. She provided frequent updates with pictures and videos and alerted us to any issues she was having with Catrick.”

“Wendy and her husband took great care of my dog and sent me updates during the day. Zoe can be shy and sensitive at first with new people, but she warmed up to them so quickly! Their dog Hero is so cute and playful as well. I would recommend her, and Zoe looks forward to her next daycare there!”

“I truly recommend Dan. This is my first time using Rover and naturally wanting the best for my dog, I wanted to make sure she’d be good, and Dan made sure of that. She always checked in with me, provided me updates of Daisy through pictures and videos, and always responds when she can.”

She sent photos throughout the day and notes about our dog. Emily was great and we highly recommend her!!”


“Julia was great! We left our puppy Sonny with her one afternoon until the afternoon the next day and she kept sending us updates and pictures of him having fun. This made us feel so good knowing that she was taking the best care of him and that he was happy. We would definitely recommend and use Julia again.”

I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I always communicate promptly and provide regular photo and video updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities.

I always supervise pets carefully, keep doors and gates secure, avoid unsafe situations, and send regular updates with photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have 4 years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I worked with both dogs and cats. With dogs, I have experience with all ages, ranging from 5 week old puppies to senior dogs. I have walked and played with dogs who were the most outgoing and loving dogs, as well as the more fearful ones who needed a little extra attention before opening up to me. I have received training in understanding dog behaviors as well as how to interact with more stressed and fearful dogs, leaving me confident to care for all types of dogs. I also volunteered to take some dogs out of the shelter for one night and care for them at my apartment so they can destress out of their kennels, which gave me experience house sitting multiple types of dogs. With cats, often times at the shelter I would play with them in their cages, or I would take them out the cage and hold onto/pet them to help relieve their stress and get them accustomed to humans. At home I also have 2 senior pets I care for, a 12 year old Brittany dog and an 11 year old cat. They’re both incredibly sweet and remind me every day why I love caring for animals. Let me help take care of your furry family members—I’d love to meet them! I work as a teacher full time during the school year, so I have time after 5pm to care for your pets. However, during the summer I don't work full time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am free anytime during the week for house sitting, dog walking, or just dropping in to visit your pet. When caring for a pet in a client's home, I will make sure to confirm all household rules that apply to their pet before starting. This includes knowing what furniture the pet can sit on, the diet of the pet, as well as how often the pet should be played with/taken out on walks.
“Juliana was able to accommodate a last minute sitting request for my two senior dogs. She was extremely responsive, caring and provided updates throughout the day. Our dogs are elderly, shy and need frequent walks and she took care of them as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”

“Ilona is like my angel fallen from the sky. I booked her services with just a 48hour notice. I contacted her on a Saturday to see if she could take care of my miniature Schnauzer for Monday. She didn't hesitate on telling me we could meet and greet on that same day, so we did. Literally she has like and Angel fallen from the sky! I was desperately looking for a person who could take care of Pelusa, since my dog recently was diagnosed with a Brain tumor and Pancreatitis, and was given radiation treatment, so I didn't want to leave her alone at home for the first week. She understiid Pelusa's needs perfectly. Not only I felt that Pelusa was comfortable there, but the fact that she loves animals as much as she does gave me trust to leave Pelusa in such great hands. She took a lot of pictures and sent me constant updates about Pelusa, and gave her the medicine she needed at the exact time every day. By the third day Pelusa seemed so sad to Leave Ilona's house that I felt even more happy of my decision. ILona, her husband, her kids, dogs and Cats are the greatest. I value her love for animals and the fact that she is so committed to making feel my dog like at home. Trustworthy, Passionate and Committed, could ask for more! 100% recommended!”

“I’m so happy I found Nari and Ryan. They cared for my Chester as if he were their own dog. I felt so comfortable leaving him with their family. He slept like a baby because they gave him good walks. He also was so happy to return the next day, wagging his tail and running to their door for day 2. They are the best!”

“Angelica did a wonderful job taking care of Coco for the day while we celebrated the life of our cousin who had passed from COVID. Coco took to her right away after a very quick drop off. She sent many updates and was very accommodating to our needs on this special day. I would strongly recommend Angelica ahold you need her services for your pet. Thank you Angelica.”

“Athena was amazing and so reliable. I booked super last minute and she was extremely accommodating, fast responding, and kept me updated with pictures throughout Ozzy’s stay which gave me so much peace of mind.

I will 10000% be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring 🤍”


“After a nice Meet & Greet two days ahead of time, Jenny was very happy to meet Lynn again enter her side yard. When I dropped left her inside Lynn's house, Lynn distracted her with a favorite treat, and I quietly disappeared. 7 hours later, when I picked up, she was happy to see me and looked as though she'd been comfortable and well-taken care of. She showed no signs of stress. I consider this doggy daycare experience a big success.”
“Wendy was very friendly and kind with Miso. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous, but she sent many videos, pictures, and updates throughout the visit, which really helped put me at ease.

About: I have had dogs in my life dating back to 2003 with my childhood dog Buddy. As he progressed into his senior years in 2012, I took on a lot of his care and this developed my passion for animals, especially senior animals. I’m 2021 I rescued a 10 yo senior beagle named Dexter, who enjoyed 367 of the best days of his life before he sadly lost his battle with kidney disease. I also have a 15 year d beagle named Hank, and a 9 year old Bluetick Hound named Hundley (clearly have a little bit of a hound bias 😅) I am comfortable walking all breeds and have experience with reactive dogs as well. No dog is too big (I have walked an English mastiff and Akita in the past). I look forward to meeting your furry family member. I have a full time job with a schedule that covers a good chunk of the day. However, I can devote two full days a week to dog walks and cat visits. Unfortunately at this time those days aren’t set weekly, but am more then happy to discuss a plan that works best for you. Im flexible! It’s very important for me to keep your pet safe and unable to escape or be put in precarious positions. I will never unleash your dog under any circumstances nor have them interact with other dogs on walks unless you Instruct me to do so.
“Cassidy has been a fantastic dog walker for our pup Theo! We needed some last minute care, and she has been great with booking and communication. She has been so easy to contact and sends a bunch of updates leading up to and after the walks.”

About: I've cared for both dogs and cats my whole life-- I've never lived without a pet! I also have experience as a volunteer caretaker through my local animal shelter, and a deep passion for animal welfare and happiness. I work part-time and am a part-time student, so please check my calendar for availability. I have class from 4-9pm Tuesday & Wednesday and my work schedule is typically the day shift on Monday and Thursday. Again, if there are any deviances, I will mark them on the calendar! I'm happy to let your pet set the pace-- if they're a cuddle bug, I'll give them snuggles, and if they need some time to warm up, I'll sit quietly while they get used to me. If your puppy feels the need for speed, I'll take him on a sprightly jog, but if your senior prefers to take the scenic route, we can stop and sniff every tree. I'll listen to your instructions and preferences and theirs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of ever kind since I was young. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently taking care of my daughter and family. So I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard where your fur baby can play safely. I’m comfortable crating dogs if needed, and I also offer in-home pet care.

“Ivy has just started walking my dog Gabby.. she’s been outstanding so far… she’s been punctual, followed all my directions and most importantly has been amazing with Gabby. As I see how happy Gabby is when Ivy arrives for her walks. Wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend Ivy to any neighbor or friend with a pup needing walking.”

“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”

“Great experience with Jonathan walking and dropping in on my Shiba Inu for the weekend while I was away. He is very reliable and responsive and always sent pictures of my dog, which gave me peace of mind. I will definitely be using Jonathan’s services in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.
“Jessica walked Janie twice a day while we were out of town and Janie was staying with my mother. Jessica took pictures and sent detailed descriptions of how the walk went. My mom tells me Janie was always thrilled to see Jessica, and she always came back tired, happy, and healthy. I couldn’t ask for more.”

“Jason is an excellent dog walker. My dog Zazou is normally very shy with people but she took to him right away. He was prompt, on time, and sent pictures. I will not hesitate to book him again.”

About: Ive had my own dog since i was little so i know to have patience and attentive. It was helpful the 2 years experience of pet sitting and walking dogs for other clients. I've clean litters, feed pets, stayed a little longer to play with them. I dont mind doing a wash and dry. I like to go out so it'll be mini trips in my car i can get a dog seat if they're small pets. i also make homemade meals optional completely healthy. I currently work a few days in amazon so i spend most of the time with my pet and would like to spend more time with dogs I have a back yard and my dog is friendly i can easily crate your pet and have a soft small stair case to my bed or sofa and water fountain and clean my home regularly
About: Hi I currently work from home and have a lot of free time on my hands. I have watched over 100 pets with 5 years on Rover. I'm very flexible to accommodate you and your pet in any way. Feel free to reach out if there are any last-minute emergencies. I can come over to pick up and drop off as well. I prefer long stays and will be willing to give a discount for boarding longer than 5 days. I usually take them out for walks 3 - 4 times a day and take them to the dog park if I have time. I usually send pictures and updates to check in with you with their progress. I live on a very quiet street with a lot of grass everywhere. It is a safe clean environment. I do have stairs since I live on the second floor.

About: taking care of animals has been my passion since i got my first dog at age 11. it was love at first sight. i trained and groomed her for all of her 13 years. she showed me that a dog can be more then a pet and what unconditional love is. they are pure inocense and should always be loved and protected. i have groomed and taken care of a variety of dogs. i have had many different breeds. bulldog. maltease, yorkie, labordor and german shepard. i went to school for it and got certified in grooming\pet care. i am not afraid of big dogs and i am gentle with the tiny ones. i will protect and take the very best care of your pet. i will treat them as my own.

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”


“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”

“We had a unique situation that lead us to Eric and he was incredibly accommodating. I forgot my dog's bed and he was able to provide one. He took great care of our shepherd and sent us several photos to show us our dog was doing just fine. Eric is a super nice guy to boot! Would highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful for finding the most amazing person who took care so well of my dog She sent pictures and I was able to see how my dog was doing I really appreciate that I had issues with my flight so I couldn’t pick up my dog the time I supposed to However she kindly understood my situation also let my dog stay with her one more night Thank you !!! The Best pet sitter ever!💕💜”

“Ilona was wonderful with Princess. Princess had a seizure which she hasn’t had in months and Ilona was so warm, caring and comforting to Princess. It really put my family and I at ease since we were not there. Ilona provided frequent updates and made Princess’s stay a very comfortable one. We highly recommend Ilona! Thank you so much for taking great care of Princess, Ilona!!!”

“I've booked with Nari & Ryan several times and they are the only people I trust with my dog, superseding close friends and family . They provide photos, videos and updates without having to request them and it's always a nice surprise. It's clear that they adhere to all given instructions and ensure his safety and happiness. But the biggest indicator of their great care is how excited my dog is to see them every time. He zips in their home without giving a me a second look (sad but glad), greeting their lovely daughter who is equally as responsible. Every time, I book in hopes that they are available. Thank you Nari!”

“Jonalynn was awesome and came in clutch for a last minute booking with my Bully/Pit mix. She was awesome. My dog Bleu loved his stay and has been sad since leaving her.”


“We left our pup, Jax with Lynn while we were visiting NYC. Jax is a bit nervous with new people, but warmed to Lynn before we left her home! She asked all the right questions, so we knew she really cared and would take great care of him. She kept us informed with notes and pictures the entire time we were gone. When we dropped him off, my daughter came in with me and when we got in the car, she said, you can tell she really cares about dogs! When we picked Jax up, he was just fine, he was happy to see us, but not stressed at all. He had a great time and if we need a sitter when we are in the area, again, we would 100% call Lynn. We recommend you give her a call, too! Best Rover sitter we have had! Thank you!!”


“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”

“This was my first experience with Vanessa and it was amazing. Front start to finish she provided excellent communication and thorough updates. I felt that my pet was in safe hands and I did not need to worry. Overall great experience.”

“Diana was incredible! My pup clearly felt so comfortable in her home, and I appreciated her consistent check-ins to let me know how my dog was doing. I can't wait to book her again!”

“Brandon and Ruth-Ann did awesome! Just to give background I’m shipping my dogs overseas and me and my family had to leave before the dogs. They went above and beyond and made sure they got to their flight in time with everything they needed. They were very friendly and flexible 10/10!”


“I had a great experience with Von’s dog boarding service. What really stood out was the consistent communication—Von sent pictures and videos every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. At the end of each week, Von also provided a thoughtful summary update, which was a nice touch and showed real attention to detail. I appreciated knowing not just that my dog was okay, but how they were doing overall. On top of that, Von went above and beyond by celebrating my dog’s birthday with special cookies. That extra gesture meant a lot and really shows how much they care. Reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do—I would definitely recommend Von and will be using their service again.”

“From a slightly crazy dog mom, leaving Pepper with a stranger was so hard for me- I was super nervous and felt like I wouldn’t enjoy my trip because I’d be worrying about her. Within the first day away, my worries were totally gone- Steven was so kind and communicative, he sent so many pictures, reassured me, and was just all around wonderful. I was wishing for a sign that she’d be okay when I left her, so if you’re reading this review and feeling the same way take this as your sign!! Thank you so much Steven!!”

“Kiersten and Casey did an amazing job with Nyla. She settled in quickly with no issues, which can be a challenge at times with Nyla…,plus I got a few beautiful portraits of Nyla. Talented for sure, you can see their love for dogs. I will definitely be rebooking!”

“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Renald did a great job watching our pup over the weekend! We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable Rover who will walk and spend time with your dog while you’re out of town.”

“Anton was very kind and accommodating of my anxious dog. It was the very first boarding experience for my dog, Reiki, and he was very nervous when we arrived at Anton's place. I was worried that he would stay restless, but I was totally wrong! Anton sent me photos and updates, which made me feel safe asking more of his service again. Reiki was able to calm down within hours under his care, and very much enjoyed spending time with him 😄.”
