“Carla was a wonderful host for Smokey, instead of coming home stressed out from the kennel (cage), he came home happy & clearly well taken care of!!! Ty so much Carla! James & Smokey Bear”
“We used Morgan, and actually Rover.com, for the first time. My husband dropped off Laska (our hound mix rescue dog), and noticed that she seemed happy to go with Morgan. For us, this is a big deal because she's been through a lot. When we used the kennel Laska would fight us going in, and would come home stressed out and completely out of it. This was not the case after picking up Laska from Morgan's. Laska was clean, happy, and not stressed out! This was a first for her! Laska did have some separation anxiety, so she chewed her bed up. That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”
“Lauren is a very kind care provider. She cared for our Kobe our dog, and Sunny and Cher our two birds with great concern. She made time for us to let Kobe get to know her and her household. She gave excellent follow-up messages while were were gone. There was no issue with timely Drop-off and pick-ups. I will definitely use again when a need does arises.”
“My dog Savior had his first stay with Loida, and it went great. At the meet and greet Loida was very interested in not only in feeding and potty schedule, she wanted to learn about Savior and what he would need in order for him to have a good experience while away from his family. I immediately had a good vibe and knew Loida would take care of him as if he was her own. I will be booking with Loida again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Sujanna was great to Sidney and great to work with!! She sent multiple updates and pictures every day. I could tell that Sidney was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Sujanna as a dog sitter and look forward to using her again.”

“Fiona is amazing. My goldendoodle was immediately at ease, ran right to Fiona, tail wagging! My husband and I were comforted knowing he would have a great experience, and he did! I received wonderful pics and updates. We will be using Fiona for all future trips!!!”
“I cannot recommend Melissa and her family enough. From the moment we had a meet and greet with her, I knew Watson would be in amazing hands! After dropping him off, I was updated multiple times a day with pictures, videos, and updates of him living his absolute best life. There was also so much care taken to accommodate him since he had a recent injury that he’s just out of recovery for. They took care of him as if he was their own, even going for walks in the rain! I’m so grateful to have found people so truly caring and who love animals to take care of my little guy! He is currently sound asleep after an adventure filled few nights! I’ll absolutely be booking again in the future! Thank you all again for being incredible ☺️”
“Jennifer was a great sitter and Dakotah took to her Right away. I didn't know that Jennifer has a baby and this was Dakotah '1st exposure with a baby and they also formed a nice connection. I would highly recommend Jennifer and will be booking with her in the future. The Rover service fee's are pricey. That's one huge drawback, but i had a positive experience with my sitter Have a great day and thank you again kindly Jennifer.”
“A very honest review: Celeste is absolutely wonderful. I am military and I had to leave on a mission overseas last minute, and she accommodated my needs and my dog’s needs for an extended stay. I will definitely use her services again, she’s a wonderful pet sitter, she’s very communicative and sent me pictures of my dog and an update daily while I was overseas. Her and her family all love pets and are very caring, this shows as my dog gets very excited to see her, her family, and her pets. She treated my dog as if it was her own.”
“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”
“Julia is great! Maggie loved being there. She took great care of her. I was very comfortable leaving her. I knew she was in good hands!! She sent me updates and pictures. 100% satisfied!”
“Jadyn is a terrific and loving sitter. Our fur baby Beau was definitely loved and well cared for, Jadyn even gave him a bath before we picked him up. She is our No. 1 choice whenever we need someone to care for Beau and we'll be referring her to our friends and family in the area. Thank you so much Jadyn.🫶🏽😊”
“Brittny provided excellent care for our goldendoodle, Billie Holiday. Brittny has a large dog of her own, so is quite familiar with the craziness that a big, active dog can bring to the party. I was very happy that Billie had such a wonderful home and family to spend a long weekend with. I will definitely be calling Brittny again!”
“Reviews don’t lie! Lynn and her husband Marty took such great care of our Frida. They stepped in last minute after our original sitter canceled just a day before our trip, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. They kept us updated with daily photos, and Frida was clearly SO happy and comfortable. Thank you, Lynn, for all the amazing care and love you gave to Frida—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

“Dianna and Shea took great care of my cats and fish while I was away for 6 days. They are amazing communicators, I got texts every day telling me when they arrived and were leaving, as well as updating me on how everyone was doing and that everything on the “to do” list was done. They also sent pictures every day which I really appreciated! They consistently followed all my instructions to the letter. It was clear that they really care which gave me such peace of mind. It’s always stressful when I have to be away from my babies, especially so when using a new sitter, so having confidence that they were in good hands was such a huge relief. I would highly recommend them and will definitely have them back!”

“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)!

We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life, and grown up with them since the day I was born. I’ve never not had a dog, my childhood dog lived to be 16 years. I’m here to do what I love and be able to spend my time with all of your fur babies Im flexible I walk dogs while being able to finish school, I do this Monday through Friday and I’m looking to get more overnight sits for the weekends I care for every animal as if they are my own they will be as equally as spoiled as they would in their own home. The safety of your animal is not in question with me because I understand how much we worry about our animals when they aren’t able to be with us.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and parrots all my life. I’ve had the responsibility of walking them, feeding them and playing with them. Now that I’m post-grad I have a cat of my own and am solely responsible for its care. Ive helped neighbors and friends with their animals when they go away on vacation. I am home for the summer with a part time job and this would fit in perfectly with my schedule. i am able to schedule around my other job. In my home we have a fenced in yard and our dogs are sometimes crated when we leave. When they are not crated have gates to set up safe spaces in the house where they can roam.
“Needed a last minute walker over the holidays and Skylar immediately responded and took on the job with no demands/ issues. She was very easy to work with and responds on a timely manner. Never met her in person since we really did not have the time to but our pups seem to like her. We will definitely be contacting her again in the near future!”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, and fish. I volunteer at the West Milord Animal shelter. I have worked with senior dogs and cats as well as puppies and kittens. I have experience administering medication to all different animals. I've also worked with and trained puppies. I love all animals and taking care of them is my passion. Pet care is my full time job and I love it. This is a daily passion, woven into my routine with morning walks, playtime, and tailored feeding schedules. I'm flexible, adapting to each pet's energy levels and needs, ensuring they receive consistent attention and a safe, loving environment. Evening routines include calming cuddles and preparing for a restful night's sleep, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness. I offer attentive pet care, tailoring my approach to each animal's needs. My routine includes daily essentials like walks, fresh water, and meals; playtime with toys and training; a safe environment; and plenty of love and cuddles. I keep clients updated with photos and notes.
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals from small to big since the age of 7. I currently have a German shepherd mix, and he’s been with us since March 8th of 2021, having the time of his life. I’ve had my share with senior cats/dogs, as well as being able to handle oral medication and specific routines. I‘m open and available any day of the week and usually at any time. My calendar is up to date all the way until August. I will treat your pet and your house with utmost respect and privacy, and treat your pet with the love, comfort, and care they deserve and more. They’ll always be safe in my care.
About: I have two dogs at home that I have been helping take care of since a young age with feeding and walking. I also have worked at a doggy daycare for more than 2 years where I oversee play groups, feed, and give medications to big groups of dogs. I’m currently working as a Vet Tech and love being able to care for animals and helping them in any way I can. I’m currently working full time but can make time in my daily routine to provide high quality care to your pet! I have more availability on the weekend but during the week I’m free before and after work. I plan to keep your pet under close supervision when I’m home with your pet. If your pet needs to be left unattended for any amount of time I will keep your pet in a crate or in a separate room so your pet is confined to one area. Your pet will also be given frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day and will have constant access to water.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, from tiny puppies to senior pets, so I understand the care, patience, and attention each stage requires. I have also worked with pet rescues and fostered several dogs while they awaited their forever homes. For years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family, caring for everything from high-energy puppies to shy rescues. I’m experienced with administering medications, crate training, leash walking, and working with anxious or energetic pets. I work at home most days during the week. I will plan my day around whether I have a special pet visitor, doggie walker, or cat visit. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I always follow your routines for feeding, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch or some playtime, I make sure your pet feels right at home. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow your instructions carefully to keep things consistent and stress-free — from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and affection they need, while also keeping your home tidy and secure.

“Carla was a wonderful host for Smokey, instead of coming home stressed out from the kennel (cage), he came home happy & clearly well taken care of!!! Ty so much Carla! James & Smokey Bear”
“We used Morgan, and actually Rover.com, for the first time. My husband dropped off Laska (our hound mix rescue dog), and noticed that she seemed happy to go with Morgan. For us, this is a big deal because she's been through a lot. When we used the kennel Laska would fight us going in, and would come home stressed out and completely out of it. This was not the case after picking up Laska from Morgan's. Laska was clean, happy, and not stressed out! This was a first for her! Laska did have some separation anxiety, so she chewed her bed up. That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”
“Lauren is a very kind care provider. She cared for our Kobe our dog, and Sunny and Cher our two birds with great concern. She made time for us to let Kobe get to know her and her household. She gave excellent follow-up messages while were were gone. There was no issue with timely Drop-off and pick-ups. I will definitely use again when a need does arises.”
About: Hey there Dog parents! I have been around animals starting at a very young age. So basically im obsessed with them. I was always the designated trainer for the new pups. And im pretty good at it. Whenever visiting family or friends you can always find me with the dogs. Family and friends have always trusted me with their furry family members. Wether your on vacation or simply your day is overloaded, I'm happy to offer my services to ease your day! Getting an early start on the day during the week with your pups in the morning works with my schedule. If early morning doesn't work with you, I'm also available late afternoon during the week. My schedule isn't firm so if you have any special requests, I would love to work with you and figure something out! I will always put your fur baby’s needs first. Watching their body language is something that I always look out for. Making you and your pup comfortable is what I strive for.
“Fiona is amazing. My goldendoodle was immediately at ease, ran right to Fiona, tail wagging! My husband and I were comforted knowing he would have a great experience, and he did! I received wonderful pics and updates. We will be using Fiona for all future trips!!!”
“Monica & Kelvin are incredible! I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my puppy somewhere (and I’m very picky). Instantly just conversing with Monica she put my mind at ease by giving so much reassurance that my Banjo would be okay with her. She provided so many cute pics/vids along with day to day updates about my boy 🥹. This family really loves what they do and it shows by how amazing they were to my puppy and treated him as their own. I 100% will be booking again with them!!! ❤️”

“Jadyn is a terrific and loving sitter. Our fur baby Beau was definitely loved and well cared for, Jadyn even gave him a bath before we picked him up. She is our No. 1 choice whenever we need someone to care for Beau and we'll be referring her to our friends and family in the area. Thank you so much Jadyn.🫶🏽😊”
“Brittny provided excellent care for our goldendoodle, Billie Holiday. Brittny has a large dog of her own, so is quite familiar with the craziness that a big, active dog can bring to the party. I was very happy that Billie had such a wonderful home and family to spend a long weekend with. I will definitely be calling Brittny again!”
“Reviews don’t lie! Lynn and her husband Marty took such great care of our Frida. They stepped in last minute after our original sitter canceled just a day before our trip, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. They kept us updated with daily photos, and Frida was clearly SO happy and comfortable. Thank you, Lynn, for all the amazing care and love you gave to Frida—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Maggie enjoyed her stay with Carolina! I felt very comfortable leaving Maggie there. I received updates and pictures during her stay. She also enjoyed playing with her dog Daisy!
