“If you want your dog to be in a loving, beautful home with great, responsible, happy, and experienced people - Becky and her family should be a top choice! She welcomed and took care of Ruby as if she was her own. Exercised and walked her often. Played with her and sent many happy pictures. Becky is a 5-star sitter!”

“Tracy was amazing with Max! She took very good care of Max, responded in a timely manner when I asked about him and sent me pictures of him. knowlegable when i had questions. I would most definitely board Max with Tracy again.”


“We literally couldn’t have found a better sitter for our dogs. Holly and her husband were absolutely wonderful! She wrote me every morning and evening with updates, pictures, and videos of our dogs. They were so happy to be there. She was so kind and patient with them. Even went out of her way to throw a birthday doggie birthday party. Will definitely book again next time we go out of town”

“Angela was so wonderful with our dog. Angela went out of her way to make sure our dog was well cared for and that all her needs were met. I would absolutely recommend Angela!”

“Another wonderful stay for our pups with Debbie. She and her husband are wonderful with the dogs. She will be our first contact when we need someone to watch the dogs. Highly recommended!!”

“We are extremely pleased with the care that Laura offered for our Bailey. Laura communicated with us during Bailey’s stay with her providing us with peace of mind that Bailey was in good hands and doing well. We definitely would love to use her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Morgan was fantastic! I contacted her relatively last minute to watch my puppy for a full day and she enthusiastically agreed to help me out! She kept my feisty pup safe, entertained, and tired out! I’m very grateful for her. And as the cherry on top, she came home and slept all night (a much needed full nights sleep for me, as well 😂)”

“Ashley and her beautiful family welcomed Thelma into their home as one of their own, and that is the best thing a dog can ask for. Thelma was clearly very loved during her stay and had a wonderful time.”


About: I’ve handled dogs for the AKC since I was 12 years old starting in junior handling and worked my way up to professional handling very quickly. I am open all days of the week and I live right next-door. (Same building) The dogs will be cared for as I would my own and taking out consistently also making sure they have plenty freshwater in this heat. Along with lots of belly rubs!! The facility can be locked. I am there constantly and there’s plenty of room. I’m always available and I make sure that every pup is happy. If you have a puppy or dog with severe separation anxiety I can sleep downstairs with your dog also.
“Geoff is one of the very few people I will trust with Pepper & Daisy. The first time we used him we had such a good experience. We booked him for this past 4th of July long weekend. It told my husband to watch the dog’s reaction when they saw Geoff again. He said they both were very excited & happy to see him. Geoff spends time with the dogs walking & cuddling, sends updates, photos & videos. He is considerate of their specific needs & lets us know how he’s accommodating them. I highly recommend his services & will absolutely use him again when the need arises.”


About: i’m going into my second year of college pursuing a degree in science and mathematics. my goal is to have a career in wildlife rehabilitation or veterinary care. i also have experience within EMS & firefighting as i’ve been a volunteer since 16. i’ve always loved animals of any kind and have been in aw by my own pets. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs, but currently live with only my senior cat (i brought her along with me for college). shes very specific but i make sure to keep up on her needs and do whatever i can for my baby. i live in a smaller sized apartment so I don’t currently have my dogs living with me, but since being away i miss being around them. soon i will be an intern at a zoo for animal care so i’m really looking forward to this opportunity! i love looking after family and friends pets, everytime I just feel as joyous as can be. I would love to start taking care of more pets within my community and gain more experience! __________________________________________ little side note: i allow my pets on my bed and couch with me all the time, just for some reason I wasn’t sure how to edit that off my profile lol so just know your pet is more than welcome 👌 i’m currently on summer break working a part time job, but have a flexible schedule. i like to go outside to parks, find good places to hike, and staying active. with bookings i will make sure to keep myself available or work with your schedule, whether that be for mornings, evenings, or even overnight. i’m also available the weekends. once school begins i will still be able to remain flexible. my senior cat sofia is specific with her needs, whether that’s the food she eats, the places she sleeps, or the litter i get. whatever her needs may be, whether she likes her hard food or gets sick of and only wants wet food, i make sure to listen. when she’s having a stomach ache or under the weather, i’m alerted and get her the best care i can provide. when it comes to family or friends animals like their dogs i like to spend a lot of time with them outside, taking them to parks, and even to hike depending on the kind of dog and their energy level. for clients i’ll ensure to keep them updated on their pets and if their were special instructions on how they want their pet to be treated i will do my best to make sure they are safe and well cared for.

“I left my almost 16 year old pug with Carrie and her husband while I traveled for 10 days to visit family. I know she was in great hands, she’s usually a little nervous at first but ran right up her steps when I got there as she’s been there before short term. Carrie sent me messages and pictures often enough. She got lots of outdoor time, was tended to her older age needs, and even got to sleep next to them as she’s used to it at home. I feel very lucky to have found her through Rover and I’d highly recommend her and her husband!”

“Jenna (and Tom!) were wonderful to work with and provided our dog with the ultimate experience while we were away. We knew she was having fun by the great pictures she sent. She enjoyed the deck and lovely grounds along with Stitch. He is the perfect companion for our older dog. This was our first experience with Rover and it could not have been better with Jenna. We have already booked her again.”

About: I have alot of experience with horse sized dogs and little obes alike, its important to me that they get the love they miss from their owners. Im currently going to school partime and learning the area so i have tons of time to go for walks or play with your fur baby and keep up their schedule. I want to make sure both of our spaces are respected, i like to keep places as nice as i left them so i try to take an hour to spot clean anywhere ive been or where your pet may have made a mess and leave it tidy. I do the same for my home, i clean after every visitor.
“Katie has been amazing on keeping me up to date on how my puppers was doing/adjusting. She sent photos for a few updates as well!! We will be back again and I know Maple is already excited to get back there!”

“We had such a great experience with Heather. After our intial meet and greet we were so impressed by Heather's professionalism and experience with animals. Our pup Finn had such a great weekend with Heather and her animals. We plan on utilizing Heather's services again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Angel is an absolute star. She truly went above and beyond to take care of our girl Fern, and we felt so comfortable leaving her in such good hands. She was extremely communicative, extraordinarily friendly, was very flexible and even went to far as to give us a sweet goodie bag and bathe our dog before sending her home. We will 100% be using her services in the future when we’re in the area. Thank you so so much, Angel.”

“Sara is the best. She made sure Etta was cared for and loved while we were gone. She’s highly recommended. It’s wonderful to know we found someone that takes our mind off of leaving not just a pet but a family member and she is taking care of properly until we returned.”

“Emily is *wonderful.* I needed someone to drop in on my two cats to feed them (and make sure they weren’t fighting, one is new and we’re still adjusting) and Emily was so consistent with when she came to feed them and very communicative about problems and questions she had during her visits. I highly recommend her ?”


“My original sitter canceled very last minute unfortunately but Katie was able to take care of my cat despite it being last minute! She was very accommodating, since my cat is a very shy cat and she was super responsive! 😁”

“Excellent! Super friendly, immediate and positive responses, very engaged, incredible with dogs. Even noticed a medical condition in my poodle and offered to help. Even helped with other animals on property. Super thank you! Would 100% recommend. Dependable, honest, proactive, engaging communicator, trustworthy, and non-judgemental.”

About: Dog mom providing loving, reliable care for puppies, adults, and seniors. Patient, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe and happy, and comfortable always. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home with my Poms. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for one to two dogs per day, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, and affection. I have my own home with a large patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. Since it is not fenced, I always keep pets safely supervised and use their collar or leash when needed. I provide daily walks, exercise, playtime, and loving care while following each pet’s routine and needs.

I am extremely careful caring for pets, as I would want and expect for anyone to do for my dog as well. Nothing is ever left out for my pet to get into, doors/windows/etc are always shut, yard is fenced in and my dog is always leashed when I am with him, unless he is in our fenced in yard.

About: Hi, I'm Emily and animals have been at the heart and center of my entire life. Animals bring quality and enrichment to our lives and I like to give that back in return. I've been fortunate to have animals since I was a little girl, from pocket pets, to cats, dogs, goats, horses and even a cow! In a professional capacity, I was a veterinary technician for over 8 years, providing emergency and routine care, for both large and small animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and donkeys while owners were away for about the past 10 years. The last 4 years, I have been active in kennel clubs, taking classes and learning about dog training. I am currently co-teaching obedience classes and plan to continue learning about dog behavior and training. I am currently taking clients for drop in visits and walks. Drop in visits will be tailored to your pet's specific needs, providing potty breaks, fresh food/water, cleaning, comfort, & play. Walks provide physical and mental stimulation, companionship, basic skills and play. **For large dog requests, I ask as a courtesy that they are well mannered and are not likely to jump on me and knock me over or drag me as I am only 100lbs 🙂 thank you! Safety is of utmost importance. I am committed to your pet's mental, physical health, and safety overall. I will take care as I do my own. I recognize that each animal has its own personality, some are outgoing, some are shy. I will allow them to be who they are so that they can feel safe in my presence. I will communicate with you based on your preference. I provide reports at the conclusion of each check-in, also happy to send photos if your pet is comfortable with that.

About: I've always loved animals but didn't have the space to care for one of my own, until recently, so my interactions have mostly been through other's animals.

“Geoff is one of the very few people I will trust with Pepper & Daisy. The first time we used him we had such a good experience. We booked him for this past 4th of July long weekend. It told my husband to watch the dog’s reaction when they saw Geoff again. He said they both were very excited & happy to see him.

She enjoyed the deck and lovely grounds along with Stitch. He is the perfect companion for our older dog. This was our first experience with Rover and it could not have been better with Jenna. We have already booked her again.”

“Katie has been amazing on keeping me up to date on how my puppers was doing/adjusting. She sent photos for a few updates as well!! We will be back again and I know Maple is already excited to get back there!”

“Angel is an absolute star. She truly went above and beyond to take care of our girl Fern, and we felt so comfortable leaving her in such good hands. She was extremely communicative, extraordinarily friendly, was very flexible and even went to far as to give us a sweet goodie bag and bathe our dog before sending her home. We will 100% be using her services in the future when we’re in the area. Thank you so so much, Angel.”

“I felt very comfortable leaving Jackson with Amber. She was communicative and sent pictures. Jackson seemed very comfortable at her home and I felt good knowing he was being taken care of.”

“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets since an early age. Growing up with a dog, watching my neighbors pets, and now I help take care of my parents 5 year old black lab. I always take care of all of the pets needs. I work remote, so I’m home the whole time to be with your dog and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I’m respectful, reliable, and trusting. I’m good at communication. I will follow what you ask for and make sure the pets needs are taken care of!
