“They were amazing! My pups did not go without love. They sent pictures to update us on eating habits, play time and behaviors. I appreciated the updates and loved the fact they were dog lovers. When I dropped off the pups, they made sure they would do well in a new environment before leaving. When we returned from out of town, they were understanding of our late arrival and had the pups fed before we came. Overall, I would choose them again.”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we were so pleased to find Karen. She was a great communicator and made leaving our dog easy! I highly recommend her.”
“Chrissy was great with my dog! I'm still new to rover.com and was a little nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn't know. HOWEVER, I felt comfortable with Chrissy from the start and was actually excited that Mr. Miyagi (the dog) got to stay someplace where I felt he'd be really cared for. And "cared for" Chrissy and family did! She sent me photos of him every other day and I got to see how normal life stayed for him while I was gone. Another reason I felt comfortable with Chrissy is that she has the vet tech background. Mr. Miyagi has allergies and can be a little high maintenance. I wanted someone who could recognize his allergies and respond accordingly if needed. Chrissy was great! I give her 4 "dog thumbs" up!”
“Josephine took echo and Forest very last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful. So professional, great with my dogs, and kept them busy. She even handled my grumpy, attitude ridden echo with such grace. My boys will definitely be coming back if she will have them :)”
“We booked a drop-off time at 6am. Due to travel need, we asked to drop off about one hour earlier and Jenna allowed without hesitate. That was an early morning right after a busy July-4 evening. I really appreciate Jenna’s excellent servicing and would not hesitate recommending her.”
“Bella loved her time at Sandy’s. We were happy with the daily updates about Bella’s activities. The texts, photos, and videos were reassuring since this was our first time using Rover.com. Bella plans some future visits with Sandy!”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“Paige was great with communicating, on time for drop off and pick up and overall just a great fit for my pup. I truly feel like the universe brought her to me because both of our babies names are storm! I appreciate Paige so much and can’t wait to book her again! My baby came back home healthy and happy!”
“Elijah was very professional and provided at least one update per day along with photos. Elijah made the whole process very easy; he was quick to respond, very accommodating, and appears to have taken great care of our pup. I would definitely use him for future needs.”
“I can't recommend them enough! They were incredibly accommodating with all of the changes to my surgery dates and made a very stressful time so much easier. Communication was excellent, they were reliable, flexible, and took wonderful care throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated their kindness and professionalism. We'll absolutely be using them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!”
“Caleigh was great at communication both before and during our dog’s stay with her and my dog looked happy and content throughout her stay. Would recommend and use Caleigh again!”
“This was our first time getting a babysitter and it went great. Michelle was responsive and let me know that my puppy was doing great. Will definitely take her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and animal lover for many years and currently have two small dogs including a senior dog. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime and providing lots of love and companionship. I also have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby safe and secure. I understand that every dog is unique and will treat your furry family member as if they were my own while you’re away I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for drop in visits, walks, feeding playtime, potty breaks, and companionship after 2:30 p.m. during the week I have a secure, fenced yard that provides plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. I have 2 small dogs, one of which being a senior, so I’m experienced in maintaining a calm, pet-friendly environment and understanding the needs of dogs at different life stages. Whether your pet enjoys playing, exploring, or simply relaxing, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, loving home where they’re treated like part of the family
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Patrice did an excellent job taking care of my geriatric dog. Although my pet suffers from separation anxiety, Patrice’s handling of her was calming and comforting from the start. After pick up, she did not manifest restlessness, which is often a sign she does not connect with a person. We are thankful for Patrice’s caring touch and will be returning to her in the future. We highly recommend!”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”

“Laura does a wonderful job with our kitties and goes above and beyond by taking in our mail and even helped put away our frozen dog food delivery which is big and heavy to have to lug in from the porch and down stairs. We’re repeat customers and highly recommend her to take care of your fur family while you’re away.”
“Katrina took excellent care of our kitty boy while we were out of town!! She was kind and communicative and took her time playing with him and caring for him. We couldn’t be happier with her service!”
“I was so worried about traveling and leaving my crew in someone’s care especially considering one of my cats is diabetic and requires injections multiple times a day but Sandy has been amazing. She kept me informed, she was flexible with my timing and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring sitter for my crew! Thanks Sandy!!”
“Mark was very patient and understanding with Zeke! It was clear that he has lots of expertise around dogs and is responsive to their needs. Mark also communicated well with me and went above and beyond to care for Zeke! Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time Elizabeth has watched our kitty and she continues to be the best, most reliable sitter. Also, our cat loves her! Hope to be able to book with her again in the future!”
“Amaryl was so wonderful with our kitties. They had a great few visits with them, full of love, treats and pets. Amaryl had wonderful communication and sent suck great pictures. We will definitely be booking them again ❤️”
“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”
“Peach LOVES Kaycee! I can not believe how lucky we are to have found her. She goes absolutely above and beyond in her care and attention to detail. I suddenly started working away from home and having Kaycee drop in to check on my sweet sweet kitten has made our transition unbelievably easy and alleviated my stress!”
“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Cecilia takes great care of my cat! I feel confident in her abilities to make sure everything is alright at home for my cat while I am away. She sends timely updates and responds quickly. Thank you so much!”
“Andrea is the BEST!! Literally book her while you still can!!!! It was my first time using Rover for my kitten and I was super anxious about everything but I quickly realized she is in great hands with Andrea! She connected with my kitten and learned what she likes and treated her like her own fur baby! Andrea sent me updates and pictures through out which gave me lots of reassurance. Andrea stayed at my apartment and left it so clean and perfect! Also, Andrea is literally just the sweetest person you will ever meet and you can tell she genuinely cares and wants the best for your pet!!! I cannot say enough great things about her!!”
“Sharon gave me a sense of real caring regarding the needs of my pets.She was very dependable ‘in providing meals, safety, and well being of my pets. She maintained cleanliness especially where they ate. She was friendly and pleasant to work with.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, my family has always had 4-7 large dogs at a time, so I’m very comfortable with them. I’ve had experience with dogs from day-old puppies, to blind dogs, to senior dogs who need help walking. I am currently in classes but I am available to stay overnight to take care of animals, and make frequent visits as needed. My primary availability is on the weekends as I have class during the week. I am not able to take pets into my home, but I am willing to accommodate whatever routines you have with your pet in your home! I can feed, walk, play with, or provide general care for your pet.
About: I have caring for my neighbors cats for the past 3 years as well as living with cats for the past 6 years! I love kittens and how spunky they are but also enjoy a lazy cat who just wants to make biscuits on my lap or across the room !

“We had some rocky communication difficulties in the beginning due to the app, but aside from that everything was great! Shanikka took great care of Daphne and sent me many photos and updates throughout the day. It was hard for me to find someone who was willing and able to watch such a young puppy and I’m very appreciative of Shanikka and her family. I will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Karen is awesome, our dog Charlie loves going to see her when we go on our trips. Karen is so flexible and easy-going. I really appreciate it with our busy schedules. Karen is our number one pick when it comes to dog boarding.💛”
About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for! In my home pets will be in a shared space with toys and activities. I will walk pets every 4-6 hours and will groom both cats and dogs if i see fit (not full groom but wipe eyes, paws, etc) I also enjoy going to the park so if possible i would love to take them to a park near your home or my own
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life and this is the first time I'm without my own. I'm very good at feeling animals needs out and staying connected with them so that they feel as comfortable as possible in a new space. I currently work from home with an incredibly flexible schedule to walk and take your pets out as needed. For this reason I'm normally available seven days a week. I have a spacious house for pet sitting as well as a nice fenced-in back yard to accommodate the sun bathing best boys(and girls) 😎
“Rachelle is awesome! She really cares for my dogs needs and knows how to handle her reactivity to other dogs. She read the long list I gave her of info on our dog and sent multiple updates during the day. And she was able to handle my dogs quirky behavior really well (a mini dachshund). I really recommend Rachelle if you want ur dog to have more individualized care than just a boarding kennel. And Rachelle is really nice as well. I’ll be coming back for sure when we go out of town!”
“Leo went to his first daycare with Katie and he loved it! She greeted him at the door and welcomed him and made sure the other pups were away so he wouldn't be overwhelmed walking in. He loved it and can't wait for his next stay! He was definitely tuckered out from all the fun he had playing with the other pups. You can tell Katie knows how to handle things and is a dog-lover. We're so glad we found her!”
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dogs whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. As of August 2026, I finished nursing school and will be doing Rover full-time until I take my NCLEX test to officially become a licensed nurse! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old miniature schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to seniors. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely). Since graduating college, my schedule is quite literally free 24/7! As mentioned before, Rover will be my full-time job until I get to take my NCLEX and become a licensed nurse. This means your dog will have my full attention and rarely, if at all, be left alone! The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate, you can bring that as well for me to use if this is how your pet is normally kept while left alone.
“My dog Millie absolutely loves going to daycare with Kim, her mom and her dogs. Every time I drop her off and pick her up she has a huge smile on her face and comes home completely exhausted. Kim does such a great job updating me throughout the day with lots of pictures and updates. I couldn’t have found a more attentive and loving home that welcomes my dog with open arms!”
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
“Joanne and her husband did a wonderful job watching Frankie! They provided updates throughout the day which I always appreciate. Would definitely recommend them to others and we will absolutely use them again in the future.”
About: When Covid started, I accidentally started my business by helping a couple people who adopted dogs outside of their care knowledge. Helping them with their working class dogs (pitbull, collie, and a GSP) and establish a better owner/pet relationship made me realize that this is the right move for my future. Since then I have started my own business as well as helping others with their new family member(s). No creature is too small or large for me. My smallest dog client is 3 pounds and the largest is 215. Aside from that I have expanded my practices with lizards, snakes, cats, and birds. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime! I am home most of the day. I do part-time work in hospice as well as part-time classes; (I have a door bachelors degree already working towards a BSN). If you have a special needs animal, I am more than happy to comply with their schedule, I just need to know in advance as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard in the back (will have a fully fenced in yard by the end of August in the front). My dogs have a semi strict schedule of activities to keep them mentally/physically stimulated. I follow suit with everybody’s dog. Everybody eats in their own crate, is provided with soft bedding to sleep on in their own crate, but exercise thoroughly throughout the day.
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years, including my own pets. I’m patient, reliable, and I always make sure every pet feels comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and even giving extra cuddles when needed. I truly treat every pet like part of my family. 💖 I’m currently not working, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets and give them all the attention they need! I’m available every day, including weekends and evenings. 💕 I live in a calm, pet-friendly home and always make sure every animal feels safe and loved. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and I keep their environment clean, cozy, and stress-free. Your pets will be treated like part of my family!
“Poppy had a great daycare with Maria and Beanie! Maria sent updates with photos and is great with communication regarding services and care. Highly recommend and will be scheduling another visit soon :)”

About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.
“This was our first time with Nikka and she was everything and more that we could have hoped for!!! Her kind and professional manner was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Pics and clear communication made us feel so comfy that we already booked her again!”
“Megan has been awesome walking with our excitable GSD! She is prompt, communicative, and friendly. I love the detailed updates and photos she shares on her walks and trust her to handle our big pup.”
“I have three dogs with different needs because of age and temperament. I was most worried about my small, shy dog, but he took a treat from Karen on the first meeting!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I look forward to caring for your pet and treating them like my own! I’m working part time at the moment and have flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet on a schedule that works for you! I make sure to keep the dog’s schedule as typical as possible and I listen to any instructions that the owner may have for me.
About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for!

About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born! Currently I have a dog and two cats of my own. I’ve been around and cared for animals of all sizes and breeds. I have a cat now that needs to take oral medication daily so I have experience there, and work from home so I’m fairly flexible on how I can care for your babies while you are away! I work from home, and at a restaurant on the weekends. So my availability is very flexible. I take my dog out every few hours to walk and smell around the neighborhood. I’m very active so if you have an active pet that’s great! But I can also take it slow if that’s what your senior baby needs. My dog is always leashes when outside for her safety as I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk on the sidewalks and always look out for traffic and other dogs!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I currently live with my own cat Peanut, but I grew up with 2 cats and a dog. I am very comfortable around rowdy, big, and loud dogs. I work part time at Aldi as a stocker, my schedule varies by week but I work 4-5am to 10am. I am able to come and go as needed in the evening and afternoon. I am good at making sure the house is locked and the animals are happy before finally departing. I am very devoted to making sure that animals in my care are incredibly spoiled and happy.
About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.
About: Pets have been in my life since I was a little kid. My family has always had a dog and I have a cat that I take care of like she’s my baby! I’ve always loved animals and being around fur babies. To me pets aren’t just animals you have they are an extension of your family! I work a part time job at the kenwood mall during the summer/seasonally and am a student at UC studying education in hopes of becoming a teacher! My availability is pretty flexible during the week Monday, Wednesday, Friday I only have one class from 11-12:10 so I will be readily available for virtually the entire day. Availability for Tuesday/ Thursday varies because my classes range from 11-2 which isn’t ideal for potty breaks or feedings but am able to negotiate if you have a specific situation that would fit my schedule on those two day. During the weekend im free whenever and can do mornings, overnight care, potty breaks, special feeding care, etc. While at home I let our dog out, give treats, feed, and clean the cat's littler box, feed the cat, replenish the water supply in their fountain, etc. I have a senior dog so playing isn’t in her cards anymore but I’m happy to sit with senior dogs and play with younger dogs. I also love walks and will take your pups for as long of a walk as you’d like. I even walk my cat in a pet stroller when the weather is nice!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets and even adopted my own dog in college. I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine care to every pet I look after. I’m currently available most days of the week and would be happy to find a schedule that works best for your dog’s routine, comfort, and care. I am a part-time student and will be starting classes this fall, so I’ll be unavailable on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM–2:30 PM and Thursdays from 10:00 AM– 4:30 PM. Outside of those class hours, my schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate a time that works best for both you and your pup. I treat every pet like my own. I love taking the time to get to know each animal, understand their personality, and learn what activities they enjoy the most.
“Sarah was very caring and patient with our corso. Sadly, he suffered from severe separation anxiety and would not walk; but she stayed with him for the duration, took him out to the yard, played with him, brought him in after the 30 minutes, filled the water bowls upstairs and downstairs for him and showed him a lot of love. She also kept in contact with us to let us know how he was doing and shared photographs. We will definitely utilize her services again.”
About: I have been a pet-sitter and dog walker since I was 12 years old, and I've only received positive reviews. I have experience caring for large and small breeds, multiple dogs, dogs with anxiety and/or medical needs, and cats. Some of my clients like me so much that they only go out of town when they know I can pet-sit! I have raised large dogs my whole life, and am happy to walk them and care for them! I currently teach dance for a living, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Wednesdays are the only day I work a typical 8am-4pm schedule. The rest of the time, I teach a few classes scattered throughout the day, giving me plenty of time to check-in on your pets. I am flexible and happy to provide the care you suggest for your pet. I love walking dogs and playing with them to keep them healthy and happy!
“McKenzie is amazing! She is very prompt, communicative and professional. She sent pictures of our dog while taking her out for a walk and it looked like she had the best time! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I provide attentive, loving care and prioritize your pet's safety and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pets wellbeing is my first priority. I am retired now. I'm looking for a fulfilling way to make extra money doing something I love. Why not care for another's pet daily. And please, serious requests only. I can only come to the pet's residence. Since I am a cat owner, I understand that they need to be in their own environment. Also, I'm not sure how my cat would act if I brought your pooch to stay for the day. I have no problem caring for your pet in their own environment.
About: I’ve helped out with family pets my entire life (dogs, cats fish, guinea pigs, birds, rats) but in my early 20’s rescued a Doberman/blue heeler mix on my own. He is high anxiety and medicated twice daily for epileptic seizures, so medicine is also something I’m comfortable with. I also now have a Maine coon cat who is 10, a 3 yr old shepherd, cane corso, mastiff mix with 3 paws and a 3 yr old golden/ Pyrenees mix. I work daytime hours MWF, so I’m available for drop ins before and/or after work on those days. On T/TH, I’m available for drop ins or walks during the morning and afternoons :) For the care and safety of both the clients pets and my own, I would prefer to care for clients pets in their own homes.
About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, my family has always had 4-7 large dogs at a time, so I’m very comfortable with them. I’ve had experience with dogs from day-old puppies, to blind dogs, to senior dogs who need help walking. I am currently in classes but I am available to stay overnight to take care of animals, and make frequent visits as needed. My primary availability is on the weekends as I have class during the week. I am not able to take pets into my home, but I am willing to accommodate whatever routines you have with your pet in your home! I can feed, walk, play with, or provide general care for your pet.

“They were amazing! My pups did not go without love. They sent pictures to update us on eating habits, play time and behaviors. I appreciated the updates and loved the fact they were dog lovers. When I dropped off the pups, they made sure they would do well in a new environment before leaving. When we returned from out of town, they were understanding of our late arrival and had the pups fed before we came. Overall, I would choose them again.”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we were so pleased to find Karen. She was a great communicator and made leaving our dog easy! I highly recommend her.”
“Chrissy was great with my dog! I'm still new to rover.com and was a little nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn't know. HOWEVER, I felt comfortable with Chrissy from the start and was actually excited that Mr. Miyagi (the dog) got to stay someplace where I felt he'd be really cared for. And "cared for" Chrissy and family did! She sent me photos of him every other day and I got to see how normal life stayed for him while I was gone. Another reason I felt comfortable with Chrissy is that she has the vet tech background. Mr. Miyagi has allergies and can be a little high maintenance. I wanted someone who could recognize his allergies and respond accordingly if needed. Chrissy was great! I give her 4 "dog thumbs" up!”
“Josephine took echo and Forest very last minute and I couldn’t be more thankful. So professional, great with my dogs, and kept them busy. She even handled my grumpy, attitude ridden echo with such grace. My boys will definitely be coming back if she will have them :)”
“We booked a drop-off time at 6am. Due to travel need, we asked to drop off about one hour earlier and Jenna allowed without hesitate. That was an early morning right after a busy July-4 evening. I really appreciate Jenna’s excellent servicing and would not hesitate recommending her.”
“Bella loved her time at Sandy’s. We were happy with the daily updates about Bella’s activities. The texts, photos, and videos were reassuring since this was our first time using Rover.com. Bella plans some future visits with Sandy!”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“Paige was great with communicating, on time for drop off and pick up and overall just a great fit for my pup. I truly feel like the universe brought her to me because both of our babies names are storm! I appreciate Paige so much and can’t wait to book her again! My baby came back home healthy and happy!”
“I can't recommend them enough! They were incredibly accommodating with all of the changes to my surgery dates and made a very stressful time so much easier. Communication was excellent, they were reliable, flexible, and took wonderful care throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated their kindness and professionalism. We'll absolutely be using them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!”
“Caleigh was great at communication both before and during our dog’s stay with her and my dog looked happy and content throughout her stay. Would recommend and use Caleigh again!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“This was our first time getting a babysitter and it went great. Michelle was responsive and let me know that my puppy was doing great. Will definitely take her again.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Cori takes such great care of Mabel as always! They wear her out with lots of playtime with other pups. She sleeps for a couple days straight after staying with Cori and her family after a long weekend”
“Patrice did an excellent job taking care of my geriatric dog. Although my pet suffers from separation anxiety, Patrice’s handling of her was calming and comforting from the start. After pick up, she did not manifest restlessness, which is often a sign she does not connect with a person. We are thankful for Patrice’s caring touch and will be returning to her in the future. We highly recommend!”
