“Lorraine was great with my English bulldog Blu. She was very quick in responding to my messages. Two days before his stay with Lorraine he was bit by a spider and had an allergic reaction and she agreed to administer medication and took a great care of him. When we picked him up he looked happy and healthy so much so that he couldn’t care less that we were there to pick him up lol. Blu had a great time and we recommend and use Lorraine for future stays. Thank you”
“Debbie took such great care of our dog Charlie while we were away! We just moved to the area and were nervous about leaving him for the first time in a new place, but we got so many pictures and updates that it was clear Charlie was being well taken care of. He loved running around in the yard and being with the other dogs. We will absolutely have Debbie watch Charlie again!”
“Megan is a very experienced dog person who knows just how to put new Rover users at ease. She took very good care of our energetic young dog and updated us often with pics during our week long vacation. Her big yard and pond down the road is an excellent setting for most active dogs. We will be back again!”
“Phenomenal experience. My dog has been exhausted since he returned home. He had so much fun with the other pups! So grateful to have found wonderful people to watch my crazy dog while I was away! Will be using you guys again!”
“Mayra and her husband was so warm welcoming! They let me know where Milo would be playing and hanging out. Which left me at easy leaving my baby boy. As well Mayra loves playing little games with the doggies she sent me a video of my Milo playing the game and doing so well! She shared pictures as well and always communicated with me when i would ask about Milo. Milo came back so happy ❤️ I would definitely book again with Mayra! Thank you so much!”

“Mandy and her family has been wonderful for Lala’s first time with them. Lala seems very comfortable with them and we feel she was well look after. Will definitely reach out again to them if we ever need help.”
“We were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“Celestia and Ryan were absolutely great. They accommodated my last-minute trip and boarded my dog Rocky for two nights and three days. They sent me pictures and videos, which ease my worries. Rocky had the best time. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much Celestia and Ryan.”
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I do work during the day but am available with notice! I can provide drop in visits, pet taxi to groomers or vets, dog parks, etc. Cages would need to be provided especially for multiple pets while I am out of the home. Pets have full range of the home. We have gates for the stairs at top and bottom!
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“We had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
“Christy was awesome! She was very friendly and welcoming and sent me lots of pictures of our pup during his stay! We will defiantly be using her again and would highly recommend her services!”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Amber and her family were great. Our little guy was happy and made himself right at home. We enjoyed the consistent pictures, and appreciated Amber's clear and responsive communication. Will definitely use her again!”

“I was very nervous leaving my new puppy for an entire day, but had no other choice. I found Lorraine on Rover.com. She was so very sweet to Bella, and I felt confident that Bella would have a great time spending the day with her and her husband. I know she treated Bella as if she was her own and loved her the way I do. I will definitely use Lorraine again and have no reservations in recommending her to others.”

I will certainly reach out to her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a trusting and professional pet sitter. Thank you for everything, Rosa!!!”
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”

I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets and strive to provide safe, dependable, and attentive care for every dog I work with. As a professional pickleball coach, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable walks and pet care throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, communicative, and treating each pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions closely to maintain the pet's normal routine. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and companionship while ensuring the home is respected and left exactly as I found it. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have a 3 year old, pit/lab; she is extremely hyper but also so loveable. I’ve had my fair share of dog sitting and dog walking throughout the years. I feel comfortable around all dogs. I currently work at a hospital and in nursing school. I love to be busy! I am in nursing school and work at a hospital.. I love to keep busy. Always try to make time for dog sitting and walking! If boarding is required, I would be open to staying at your house and taking care of your animal(s).. cannot board at my house currently.

“Lorraine was great with my English bulldog Blu. She was very quick in responding to my messages. Two days before his stay with Lorraine he was bit by a spider and had an allergic reaction and she agreed to administer medication and took a great care of him. When we picked him up he looked happy and healthy so much so that he couldn’t care less that we were there to pick him up lol. Blu had a great time and we recommend and use Lorraine for future stays. Thank you”
“Megan is a very experienced dog person who knows just how to put new Rover users at ease. She took very good care of our energetic young dog and updated us often with pics during our week long vacation. Her big yard and pond down the road is an excellent setting for most active dogs. We will be back again!”
“Phenomenal experience. My dog has been exhausted since he returned home. He had so much fun with the other pups! So grateful to have found wonderful people to watch my crazy dog while I was away! Will be using you guys again!”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Mandy and her family has been wonderful for Lala’s first time with them. Lala seems very comfortable with them and we feel she was well look after. Will definitely reach out again to them if we ever need help.”
“We were anxious to have our dog in an environment with another dog that she has not met, since she can be a little unpredictable. Tristan set up a meet and greet and was confident that our dog would adjust. We are thankful to him for watching her for the weekend when we were in a bind and needed a sitter. We would definitely book again with Tristan if he’d take her!”
“Celestia and Ryan were absolutely great. They accommodated my last-minute trip and boarded my dog Rocky for two nights and three days. They sent me pictures and videos, which ease my worries. Rocky had the best time. I will definitely be using them again. Thank you so much Celestia and Ryan.”
About: I've grown up with multiple dogs at a time, never had a period of time where I was not around dogs. I've raised them from birth to passing away. I love playing with them, caring for them, being there for them and providing love to them. I love going for walks in the parks, around development, etc. Whatever the pup/dog likes to do is fine with me, I have a lot of history with them so I'd be more than happy to provide for any dog! I do have a lot of references just not on rover, they can be provided upon speaking/meeting! I am very accommodating and can stick to your pets schedule as close as possible to yours! I can work my schedule around whatever is needed for care. For example, pets needing strict medicine schedule. I do work during the day but am available with notice! I can provide drop in visits, pet taxi to groomers or vets, dog parks, etc. Cages would need to be provided especially for multiple pets while I am out of the home. Pets have full range of the home. We have gates for the stairs at top and bottom!
“So my dog stayed for the first time this past weekend. He was well taken care of and I got daily photos and updates on him. I already booked another boarding with her for both of my dogs. I love the pick up and drop off service. It’s so convenient when you’re traveling to not have to worry about dropping your pets off or picking them up after a vacation. This is a great addition to her services.”
“We had a great experience with Andrew and Chelsea! They took fantastic care of my dog and provided updates on him throughout my time away. He was a happy pup when I picked him up! I highly recommend!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. Cassandra made the process super easy. She sent many videos and pictures of my girl. I will use her again in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Joan. I am recently retired and live on a farm. I have had dogs most of my life and have felt the passion to start dog sitting after losing our 15 yr old beloved dog fairly recently. I sure miss having furry four legged ones around to share my love for dogs, and want to be able to love on yours as I would my own. Having used Rover many times in the past for our own dog over the years, I know how very important it is to find someone you know you can trust to love & care for your pup, that perfect place that you won’t have to worry about them while you hoomans are away, that would be Me! I live on a farm with lots of acreage for running and playing. I also have experience with administering medications if needed. I want to make a worry free home away from home experience for your best friend(s) while mom & dad are away. With being retired, and pretty much a homebody, I will make sure that I will be home at all times to care for your pup. Potty breaks and play time will be frequent, with living on a farm we will be sure and have plenty of walking and running space for your pup. I live on a tucked off the road farm with plenty of acreage to run and play. Our farm is not a working farm, meaning we have no farm animals on the property. I have never crated any of my dogs, therefore I would not be crating yours unless of course you ask me to and provide the crate.
“Amber and her family were great. Our little guy was happy and made himself right at home. We enjoyed the consistent pictures, and appreciated Amber's clear and responsive communication. Will definitely use her again!”
“Tessie was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were away for nearly a week. She sent updates and multiple pictures every day. It gave us great peace of mind about leaving our dog for the first time. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again in the future. Thanks again Tessie!”
“Instant karma. Bronx quickly became a velcro dog to Jen and she got roped into his boo boo eyes. He adapted to her 3 little ones (and they to him) such that they could lounge in proximity on the deck out back. Jen will most certainly be a go-to sitter for us in the future. She was also quick to accommodate my day-early departure. Thanks, Jen!!”
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
