“Debbie and Phil have watched Zola numerous times and always treat her like their own! I never have to worry about her when she is with them. Their house and yard is an absolute retreat for Zola. Five stars all the way and highly recommend them!”

“Chip had a great time with Megan! Megan provided daily updates on how he was doing. He’s a young shy boy and he enjoyed his time with Megan and made a new pooch friend!”


“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”

“Deirdre was great, its clear she loves animals. She is in a nice quiet country setting and we especially liked her fenced in shady backyard so our Westies could play safely. She was very attentive to details and sent us pictures during their overnight stay. We’ve already booked with her for our week long vacation in Aug. We definitely recommend Deirdre!!!”

“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.”


“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”

“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.”

“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!!”


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.
“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.”


“Rosa is amazing!!!!!! This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter for a week and he did so well with her. I’m so pleased that my doggy was so well cared for and will be definitely using Ms. Rosa again ?”
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life !

“Dani was open to meeting prior to booking to make sure she and Lizzy got along. We got to see where Lizzy would be staying. During her stay, Dani asked for directions and followed them. She communicated just the right amount and sent some lovely pictures. She was accommodating when we needed to slightly modify drop off and pick up times. Lizzy clearly was well cared for and very affectionate toward Dani. We recommend her wholeheartedly and will definitely be using her next time we go away.”

About: I have had pets all my life! Cats and dogs! I currently have two labs. I am comfortable of taking care of dogs of any age or size. One of my dogs is currently on medication so I’m comfortable with giving dogs medication if needed! I work a full time job and have my two girls to take care of. I would be able to take care of your pets before and after work or on the weekends if I have availability! I will not be taking care of pets in my home at this time due to having two dogs of my own. Sorry for the inconvenience.
“I can't recommend Megan highly enough, she's incredibly reliable and trustworthy! My two fur babies, normally very wary of strangers, absolutely love her. She sent thoughtful daily updates and photos while we were away, and replied to messages super quickly! Thank you, Megan, I'm so relieved to have found someone I can truly trust with my fur babies!”

“Jule was a God-send for me while I was on vacation! She made sure their food and water was filled, scooped the litter boxes, swept up around the litter boxes, and stayed and played with the kitties for awhile. She took lots of pictures to send to me while I was away. My white cat, Tigger, hides whenever anyone comes over (he only stays out for me) and she had pictures of him laying on the couch!!! He was relaxed and didn’t feel scared. It’s so nice knowing I have someone I can depend on because in the past I have struggled to find someone that I could 100% depend on. Thanks Jule. The kitties thank you too!”
About: Familiar with Shih Tzu & other small dog/cat care, follows directions easily, dependable, punctual, assertive, effective, kind, playful, & can build trust with animals quickly! I take care of my family Shih Tzu daily and have cared for our late Domestic Longhair cat; as well as my sister’s Australian Labradoodle, her long-haired kitty, and my Aunt’s 3 Italian Greyhounds on occasion. I’ve also had experience watching a Westie and other larger Labradoodles. Pet care comes naturally and second-nature as I’ve had pets in my home all my life. From dogs, cats, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, etc. I’ve learned how to look after plenty of life through the years.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for 4 years and have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life. I’m experienced with different temperaments, routines, and care needs, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I mainly have experience with older dogs (1 year to senior) and don’t shy away from the many needs dogs require in their twilight years. I primarily have been dog sitting for a close friend with two beagle mixes and can tell you they gave me enough experience to be able to handle the high energy and stubbornness that comes with their breed. I’m a huge animal lover so it’s all worth it in the end when our furry friends are happy and thriving! Due to life circumstances I am currently between jobs so my hours are set between 8am to 8pm ( not including overnight stays). Fell free to contact me for hour negotiations! I take great care in respecting the homes of pets and owners when I’m providing care. I strive to prevent messes when possible and make sure pets are fed, watered and their spaces are well maintained and home owners spaces are left the same or better than when they departed.

“Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”

“Beth has been incredibly loving and patient to my 2 cats when we were away from home. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that Beth stayed in with my 2 cats to take care of them. She treated my cats as if they were hers, provided them with utmost care, and spoiled them. She even let them use her own ipad so my cats could play the mice hunt in her ipad. She would update me everything whether they are sad, or not feeling well. But, she would reassure me that she would do her best to make them comfortable and eat and drink. I am now at ease that I found an amazing and trustworthy sitter if I have planned vacations next time.”

About: I am in school to become a dog trainer. I’d love to have more experience working with dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’d love to help care for your fur babies!

My fur baby has tons of toys and puzzles and lick mats, he has more stuff than I do!

About: Cats are such energetic, lovable, and curious companions! I’ve had them in my life since I was young, and I never get tired of seeing their unique personalities shine. I truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s cuddling, playing, feeding or simply keeping them company. I have experience giving medicine when needed and always do my best to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I used to hate cats when I was a kid until I got my first cat, Sombra. She was found on the side of the road as a kitten by a friend and asked if my mother and I could take her in. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give her a chance. 9 years later, and I love her to death, despite her feisty attitude. Most recently,2 years ago, I found 2 more black kittens in an abandoned building, a brother and sister. We took them in with the intention of fostering them until they were old enough to adopt out, but unfortunately, since black cats aren't popular, no one wanted them. I decided to keep them for myself, and now Milan and Marcille are happily living together, with Sombra. (all of my cats are indoor cats)
“Our first time leaving our fur babies, and wow I cannot say enough about how great Liceth was. Constant updates, extremely friendly, and goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t trust my pets with anybody except her.”


About: I have a special place in my heart for cats as both of my cat babies were off the street stray rescue kittens that I have nursed back to health. I have a Russian blue and an orange one! I can do whatever cat care is needed and know how to get along with some feisty cats.🐈 ❤️

She allowed me to stay in her home for a few minutes to see how Bella would interact with her dogs and family. I got pictures and videos and that made me feel much better.

“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!”

Beyond my own pets, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after my friends beloved animals, treating each one as part of my extended pet family. I am currently not working so I would be available from morning to night anytime, I would also be available to care for your pet when you are away. I tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or administering medication. I also engage in activities like walks or interactive play sessions to keep your pet physically and mentally stimulated.

“Chip had a great time with Megan! Megan provided daily updates on how he was doing. He’s a young shy boy and he enjoyed his time with Megan and made a new pooch friend!”


“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”

“Deirdre was great, its clear she loves animals. She is in a nice quiet country setting and we especially liked her fenced in shady backyard so our Westies could play safely. She was very attentive to details and sent us pictures during their overnight stay. We’ve already booked with her for our week long vacation in Aug. We definitely recommend Deirdre!!!”

“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.”


“Hailey did an amazing job with Kylo. We were worried about leaving him since he has never been to a new place with us. She did such a great job with him and sent us photos of his stay. He felt we didn't have to worry at all. We are so happy we chose Hailey to watch our family member. We recommend her to anyone who wants to feel carefree when they have to leave their pet behind.”

“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.”

“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!!”


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.
“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.”

“Emily took care of our Yorkie (fleabite) while we were away for 2 weeks. I can’t thank her enough. She kept us informed daily and sent pics. She went out of her way to pick up meds at the vets. I highly recommend Emily if you need a pet sitter.”

“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!”


“Jule took the such good care of my two Portuguese water dogs. They took such a liking to her and you could tell how comfortable they were around her. Any time I need dog care in the area she will be my first call!”


“Deanna is great. Her communication was fantastic and I enjoyed the pictures she sent. You can tell she really cares about the animals in her care. Our dog has a medical history (not a constant issue, but occasional issues) that we were upfront about and we really love that she has a veterinary background. She had no concerns about caring for our boy. When we went to pick him up, we could tell he (and the other dogs) was well cared for.”


“Her property is very beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like is that she didn’t have a fenced in area and that he was on a leash a lot of times when he was outside he did go for multiple walks. However, the fenced was my responsibility that I should’ve been more aware of for Gunner. He came home very happy.”
