“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”

“Karin was absolutely amazing! She opened her home up to my puppy Bentley! She gave exceptional care to him. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable! She gave updates throughout the days she kept him and he even interacted with her dog. I give her 12/10 stars. She was absolutely wonderful and trustworthy with my baby boy!”

It was easily one of the best Rover experiences we've had and we will definitely book again. I highly recommend Joe for any pet boarding needs!!”
“Third time I leave my dogs with Nicole and her family while I’m out of town and again awesome experience. My dogs love being with them!

Thanks Nicole & family 😃”
“April was great you could tell she really loves dogs she did a great job with my puppy Mabel and I would recommend her to anyone! Unfortunately I won't be able to use her again since my dog will get pretty big pretty fast but for you all you small dog owners out there I definitely recommend using April she is wonderful!”
“Susan was so amazing. She is the kindest person and truly loves all animals. Delilah stayed with her for two nights and had a great time with Susan and the other pups at her house. Her large, fenced yard is a dog's dream. Susan also had great communication and provided frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend.”
“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
“Once again we only use Michael and Anne! They are now considered Paisley’s second parents. She had to take a few meds and they gave them to her when needed. She loves her 2.5 mile morning walks and we love the pictures we get from them! We always use them. She loves them so much!”

Hazel has several specific needs, like medicine, special feeding instructions, and grooming needs, and Emma handled her complexity with care. She sent daily updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind to know Hazel was being looked after during a stressful time. Emma absolutely came through for us and I’d recommend her to anyone!”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I got my dog in college and have been dedicated to his care no matter what. Through moves and full time jobs, he has always been #1. He is a senior now and needs a little extra attention in regards to mobility, so I am comfortable with that. When he was younger he had BOUNDLESS energy as well and was eager to please. I’ve seen both sides and love them and all the traits in between Pet care is a 24/7 deal. They give us unconditional love so we should always be dedicating ourselves to the same. Daily walks, exercise and for sniffing are both beneficial and also just someone to sit by and patrol the neighborhood I care for pets how their owners would because that’s what will make the dog the most comfortable with a new person in their environment. I will always follow the clients routines and expectations
About: I have loved cats my whole life. I understand that some cats are social creatures, while others may be shy, and I respect their personalities. Safety and compassion are my priorities when caring for your cat.
“We are so lucky to have Rachelle. She’s incredibly dedicated and really takes the time to focus on our crazy puppy. She makes sure he gets all his play time and potty breaks, and works on his training also. She always keeps us in the loop, makes sure we are on the same page with routine/training and sends updates everyday. We would 100% recommend!”
“They have been so incredibly kind and accommodating! An absolute godsend with a last minute trip and trying to find care for my cats. Will definitely book again and completely recommend!”
About: Hi there! I'm Jess, lover of all pets. My passion for animals started off growing up on a small family farm. I soon began working at a kennel and grooming facility while taking classes. I love to learn and knew I was destined to be covered in hair my whole life so I pursued degrees in Animal Science and Zoology. I am currently working as a vet tech at a local animal clinic and would love to take care of your pet during my off days. I promise your pet will be treated just like my own! Each day starts and ends by taking care of my Holland Lop, Willow. I understand the importance of maintaining a schedule and being attentive to animals needs. My work schedule does change a bit from week to week, but I will be as flexible as possible and try ,y best to keep my calendar up to date. Please feel free to reach out to me for certain dates and times as Rover does not allow me to always display all available times. I am currently only providing services in client's home and surrounding areas due to rental policies at my residence. Your pet will be comfortable in their home for drop in visits or familiar areas to go on walks/play.

About: Hi, I’m Courtney! Your dog’s new dependable best friend. With 15 years of experience working with animals, I bring a calm, confident, and caring approach to every visit. I’m comfortable with all breeds, all sizes, and all personalities — from shy seniors to energetic puppies. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have dogs and guinea pigs at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and understood while keeping you updated every step of the way. Pet care is naturally built into my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my drop-ins and walks to make sure every pet gets consistent, on-time care. I check in throughout the day, send updates, and make sure each visit has my full attention. On my days off, I’m even more flexible and can offer extra visit times. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine, make sure their needs are met, keep their space clean, and give them plenty of attention. I provide calm, consistent care and always send updates each visit.
About: I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well. I stay at home with my one year old son, so I am available during the week days, and for extended stays/overnight boarding. We would love to care for your dog! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.
“Parisa took great care of my German Shepard. She provided plenty of exercise for him in her shaded backyard. He came home worn out every day which tells me that he had a great day with her.

It would mean the world to me to earn your trust and be given opportunities to grow, help, and show what I can do. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, care, and consistency — I’d be honored to work with you.

Both roommates are animal lovers as well, so we create a very caring environment!
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, medications, and providing loving, dependable care for dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay-at-home mom trying to make a little extra money while providing reliable, loving, genuine, and flexible pet care services locally for my community. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while following their normal routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special care instructions.
About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!
About: I'm a freelance animation writer and dog lover who has had dogs his entire life and enjoys walking and sitting his friend's dogs. Now I'm looking to walk and sit even more dogs to supplement my writing income while also taking advantage of my extremely flexible schedule. I'm very patient, attentive and affectionate with dogs. When I walk, my attention is on the dogs (not my phone) and when I dog sit, I treat your home how I'd like my home to be treated if someone was staying there (i.e. not really wandering around and/or touching stuff, ha) and again, all attention is on the dog. Otherwise, I'll just be writing away on my scripts. I absolutely love dogs and have raise several from puppies. This is also an outlet for me after the passing of a beloved elderly dog that I had since she was a puppy. I'd be happy to take excellent care of your dogs.

“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“April was great you could tell she really loves dogs she did a great job with my puppy Mabel and I would recommend her to anyone! Unfortunately I won't be able to use her again since my dog will get pretty big pretty fast but for you all you small dog owners out there I definitely recommend using April she is wonderful!”
“Susan was so amazing. She is the kindest person and truly loves all animals. Delilah stayed with her for two nights and had a great time with Susan and the other pups at her house. Her large, fenced yard is a dog's dream. Susan also had great communication and provided frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend.”
“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
“Once again we only use Michael and Anne! They are now considered Paisley’s second parents. She had to take a few meds and they gave them to her when needed. She loves her 2.5 mile morning walks and we love the pictures we get from them! We always use them. She loves them so much!”
“Chrissy and her family made our first Rover experience so wonderful from start to finish. We felt comfortable with her right away and could see how much Ramona liked her (and Tommy) too! :) Really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the week. We highly recommend Chrissy and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Tasha and Joe took great care of my little guy! He’s nervous around new people, but in every photo they sent, I could tell he was wagging his tail, which told me everything I needed to know. They followed care instructions perfectly and were a pleasure to work with. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Jennifer and Jeff were awesome! Tucker had the best time hanging out with them in their big yard! They sent pictures and updates while I was away. They were very nice and accommodating when plans changed last minute. Tucker didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend them and we will be back for future trips!”
“Kyri was an excellent dog sitter for Clover! She responded promptly to messages, including my late request for booking, and provided updates and pics of Clover while I was away. She was very accommodating for my senior blind dog and gave her medication (my dog is also diabetic and requires insulin). It was easy to coordinate pick-up and drop-off times. I did not worry about Clover's well being while I was away. I will definitely book with Kyri again!”
“Caitlin was amazing every step of the way! She accommodated a late request and was a great communicator throughout. She was also extremely caring and understanding about our elderly dog with health issues. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”
“Amanda and her husband were WONDERFUL! I received pics and updates daily. I'm beyond pleased with everything about this stay. I would definitely leave Lilo with them again! Thanks for everything!”
“Our golden retriever Chelsea had a great time with Kanika and Jan! We really appreciated the meet and greet prior, frequent photo updates, flexibility in our timing with our travel, and the great effort put forth in considering Chelsea's needs and preferences. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa was very good in handling oscar and socializing with her pets and regular boarders. She went out of the way to socialize her boarders with Oscar. She is very responsive and responsible. She bailed me out at the last moment which helped me and my family to go on an unplanned vacation.”
“McKenzie did an awesome job with our Sheltie- Beau. He stayed with her for 4 days and she took great care of him- treated him like her own. He played well with her two dogs and she walked him and babied him when he tried to hide from the July 4th fireworks. Would definitely use her again !”
“Catherine was just wonderful taking care of Millie. Kept me updated with photos throughout the day. So happy to have found a home away from home for my fur baby. Extremely happy and at peace that she’s well cared for. Thanks for that!”
