We will be using them again and referring our friends too. This was a trial overnight for longer stays in the future. I loved that they suggested this. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time using Rover… Vicky was absolutely a dream. My dog’s loved her family and her little girl Nova!

“2nd time that Charissa and Shawn has taken in our baby Gorgon and literally made himself at home. We have been very lucky in finding them because our dog is a fairly nervous and anxious boy so traditional boarding places just don’t work for him. He absolutely adores them and their kids and he’s a lot happier being one on one with someone to care for him. Thank you so much for watching over him and for sure using these guys again and again when need be.”

“Elizabeth was extremely caring and responsible for our two cats during a month long trip during the winter (including bad weather). We would definitely recommend her for providing care for any fur family members.”

“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request.

“Trisha took excellent care of my very timid & shy cat, Stella, as well as my house. She sent twice daily updates along with pictures. My girl seemed very content & chill upon my return. Would definitely recommend!”

“Beauty and her pack are wonderful! I can’t recommend Beauty enough to any pet owner! Our dog Freya had an amazing time and Beauty was very flexible when our plan changed to a later pick up time. She even offered to let Freya stay the night if that worked better for us. I can’t thank Beauty and the pack enough for giving us peace of mind when we can’t be with Freya!”

I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need!

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I can’t imagine it any other way. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care—just like they would at home. I am a registered nurse and lifelong dog lover offering doggy daycare and overnight boarding in my home. My home features a large fenced-in yard for safe play and, during the summer months, supervised pool time for fun and cooling off. With my nursing background, I’m attentive, reliable, and comfortable following routines or administering medications if needed. Your dog will enjoy a loving, safe, and comfortable home while you’re away—and you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands. Flexible daily daycare and weekend overnight boarding in a safe and loving home. Dogs enjoy full access to the house and a large fenced in yard.
“Our dog Scrappy has separation anxiety and we rarely leave him home alone, with the exception of Sunday mornings so my wife and I can attend church. It was such a blessing that I learned of Rover and found Heather. Scrappy was very comfortable and we so appreciated the care Heather gave our Scrappy. If you need daycare for your dog we highly recommend Heather.”
“We're new pet parents. We've had our 8 month old Goldendoodle, Boone, for close to 3 months. We needed to find reliable and loving care for our boy. Stacey was awesome. She arranged a meet and greet at her home and Boone was instantly at home, playing with her dogs and their toys. She's a very caring, loving person and her love for animals is evident. Boone thoroughly enjoyed himself and didn't even care when I left. I wasn't sure if he's would leave to come back home! We will definitely use Stacy again and highly recommend her for your fur babies. Oh she also sent us a picture of him and it appeared he was smiling.”
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”

“Gwendoline saved our lives. We needed a last minute daycare sitter after our "pet friendly" hotel gave us a problem about our dog barking. Fortunately, Gwendoline was available last minute and agreed to care for our pups for the day so we could do touristy things out in Lancaster. She supplied photo updates and really put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our weekend away in Lancaster knowing our pups were in good hands. We picked them up after our Sight & Sound show and the pups were happy and sleepy. We plan to make our Lancaster trip an annual family holiday and are so happy we found an amazing sitter to take care of our girls when we're in town!”
“I wish I could post 20 stars for this dog sitter! She was exceptional! Very sweet and personable and I know she took great care of our dog while she watched her. Savannah also communicated very well with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.

If you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to send me a message!

“Colleen Alissa and her husband provided Lemmy with excellent care while we were away. Arranged for a meet up with their pup, Bruce, before Lemmy’s stay. Definitely will continue to book with them for as long as they are on this app.”
“2nd time that Charissa and Shawn has taken in our baby Gorgon and literally made himself at home. We have been very lucky in finding them because our dog is a fairly nervous and anxious boy so traditional boarding places just don’t work for him. He absolutely adores them and their kids and he’s a lot happier being one on one with someone to care for him. Thank you so much for watching over him and for sure using these guys again and again when need be.”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“Alexis did an amazing job watching Gunner and Luna! She kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. The dogs clearly had a great time and were happy and well cared for when we got back. We truly appreciate her attention and communication, and we look forward to working with Alexis again!”
“Amy and Patrick were so sweet and awesome to my 8-week old puppy, Lila, while I was away. They took excellent care of her. Amy and Patrick are friendly, responsible, and pet-loving good people. I highly recommend them for pet sitting, walking your dog, etc. I will certainly use their services again!”
“Great experience with Jessica. Close, convenient, received good feedback over 8 days, and an early meet and greet was scheduled to meet her dog which by the way he was a perfect companion dog . Will use Jessica again! I recommend her .”
“Our 9 month old lab enjoyed his first time away from us at Jenn’s house. We did a meet and greet beforehand and received updates throughout his stay which put us at ease! We also loved the papers that came home that gave daily details about his stay. We will definitely book again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! Jester had the best time with her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and messages, which I truly appreciated. It was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for my baby was. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again very soon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”
