“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 :)”
“Kira was amazing with Charlie and agreed to a week long stay with a semi short notice. She provided updates on her own and when asked. No complaints and would use her services again!”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“Nova seemed very comfortable staying with Jaideep and family. He sent several updates a day and it was very nice knowing that she was happy with them. I am rebooking for another trip and definitely feel better knowing she is in good hands.”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Amanda was great! She took good care of our dog and kept us up to date on how she was doing. Amanda was flexible with pick up and drop off. We will be booking Amanda again!”
“We are very happy with Rosa as our dog sitter. She sent us photos so we could see how good they are doing. Our girls liked her also. Next time we need a dog sitter I will definitely request Rosa. She is very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend”
“This was my first time using Rover and Michaela made the whole experience so easy and comfortable. It was Lola’s first time meeting her, and she immediately made us both feel welcome. She was very friendly, quick to reply, and kept me updated throughout the night with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lola looked happy and relaxed in every update! I would absolutely book with Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 🐾💛”
“Daniel and his kids were awesome with Charlie. He was able to meet with some accommodations that were required for the drop off. He took Charlie around and kept us updated throughout the stay. I recommend and will book again.”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Melissa is great! She sent me updates on Luna throughout her stay and she provided great care for her. Her property is amazing and has a lot of room for the dog to run and exercise!”
“This was the first time we’ve been away from our pup and Mandy made sure she’s well taken care of. Thank you for accommodating our little Bebon! ♡ You are like a family to her. God bless!”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”
“This was our first time having Crystal be caretaker for our two kitties. It was an outstanding first experience to say the least! Our kitties came home happy, clean (I mention this because the first thing our two kitties stop doing if they feel any kind of stress is letting the shine on their coats diminish. We picked them up today and they were shiny and bright!), and in very good moods. What made the stay even better was that Crystal's daughter and son also took such an active role in the care of our cats, which was so wonderful as the the two cats have different temperaments and both seemed happy with their stay! Just wow, wow, wow! It also was a stay over the Christmas holiday and Crystal was most accommodating! We will absolutely use Crystal again in the future!”
“Highly recommend Lorraine! We rescued our dog Westley from a kill shelter so he is very timid and skittish around new people. We also have never left him with anyone before. Lorraine was very patient with him and extremely compassionate and caring. She is prompt with message responses and updates. I couldn't have chosen a better sitter for Westley and plan on using Lorraine in the future!”
“Dane and Kayla were great. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. They sent me updates with pictures during the day. Our dog seemed to be well cared for when we picked him up.”

“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!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and family pets as well as my own for over 10 years. I also have basic veterinary care experience from working at vet offices/boarding kennels and can give medications upon request.
About: I was raised with many pets, including 2 dogs. A pit bull and a shitzu mix. We raised kittens to find them their forever home. I bottle fed and nursed puppies that were without their mother. I learned the value of money by walking my Aunt's shitzu until I started high school. I naturally had an unspeakable connection with animals my whole life. I couldn't ever imagine my life without them. As of right now, our home is being ran by 4 dogs: Coach, Stella, Winnie, and Sage. And 2 cats: Sunny and Ash. Our backyard is big and fenced in. We let them out for an hour or so to get playtime and exercise in. Taking them for walks is not a good idea because Winnie can be reactive. We crate all of our dogs. They eat separately in their crates. Feeding instructions will be left in our refrigerator so they get their adequate amount. They also have slow feeding bowls.
“Marián has been so great with Charlie. She is timely, sends updates, and makes sure everything is the way it was left. I appreciate her services and will be using her again! 10/10 experience!”
About: I've grown up around cats of all kinds: house cats, feral, barn cats, you name it. I've even raised two litters of bottle babies. My cats are named Manson and Salem. Manson has been with me for over 10 years and is the other half of my soul (sorry to my husband). Salem is a certified daddy's girl and is still a little feral. Weather your feline wants unlimited chin scratches or zero eye contact with a 10 foot social distance, im happy to be there for them!
“Emili was wonderfully patient with our cat, who did not dare show his face to her. Despite our cat's shyness, Emili made sure that he was well fed and taken care of. We're so grateful to her and thanks to her care we came home to a cat who missed us quite a bit. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy, Emili! :)”
“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!”
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.🐈 ❤️
About: Had pets my whole life. I walk all the time and know where to take them and have an SUV with enough room to fit them in. Have 2 children who adore all animals. I have a full time job, Tuesday through Saturday, but I’m usually home around 2-4 pm. I’m available every evening and can stop to let them out during the day because of my job flexibility. I love both ends of the spectrum. I love being active and taking dogs for walk/runs. I also love relaxing and cuddling with them and getting to know what their preferences. Will follow all strict diet rules and keep a very clean house to avoid unwanted eating restrictions.
“I was so nervous about leaving my cats with anyone to watch over them except for me. I have to say though I was very happy to have Megan come in an do the drop in visits. First off 2 of my cats cats are very standoffish and hide pets she managed to get pictures of all 4 of them. I couldn't believe it. I would recommend her to anyone. And would definitely use here again.”
About: I currently live with many cats (6 to be exact). I know my profile photo is not me with one of the cats but they do not like to be held for photos. I make sure that they have enough food and always have a clean litter box. I have never had to give any of them medicine but I am willing to learn. I make sure that they have enough food and clean water. Playing with them is a must.
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
“My pets were happy and my house was still clean and tidy when I came home. Mark was very accommodating and flexible with his schedule. He also stepped in pretty late in the game before my vacation after my previous dog sitter canceled. Thanks for taking care of my babies :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life, there’s always been a dog in my household. When I moved out on my own I had my first cat. I have done everything from bathing, cutting nails, pilling, to bottle feeding kittens. I currently have three dogs and six cats. I am comfortable and familiar with walking dogs, feeding dogs (up to six at a time), play time visits, feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, feeding & caring for small critters such as mice, giving out treats, cutting nails. All requests welcome! I work 100% remote and my schedule is very flexible! Reach out to me with your needs and we can work together to make the best fit for us both! My animals are not short on affection or attention. I typically take my dogs on one walk a day coupled with hours of free time in the back yard. My kitties get special play time separate from the dogs and are snuggled to their liking. For my clients I spend a minimum of 30 minutes on my visits allowing the pups to get their zoomies out and get lots of pets.
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”

“Lynnea was so great with our two pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates as the day progressed, and she took them out many times over the course of the day. Her pup Ruger was also so sweet and well-behaved with our older dogs. We will be using Lynnea again the next time we’re in the area! ?”
“I feel so blessed to have found Rosa on Rover. She was so good with my 6-lb shitzu mix, Fiona. She sent me videos, updates, agreed to do a video call while I was on vacation and I have never seen Fiona so happy. She had her own vacation with Rosa and her family. 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!!!”
“My Girl stays w/ Melissa regularly for doggy daycare: my dog is happy when I drop her off and pick her up, Melissa lets my dog shadow her throughout the day, and Melissa is good with communication.”
“Decided to try the doggie daycare and we're glad we did! Our girls were excited to get there when we pulled up to the house. Which is comforting to begin with. All I can say is THANK YOU!”
“Warren, Kelly, and the kids are absolutely amazing! They welcomed my dog into their home with open arms and treated her as their own. We had some delays and they graciously accommodated, which I really really appreciate! If I will definitely use them when we come back in the future. 10 out of 10 recommend!”
“Amanda was quick to respond and answered all my questions. She was attentive to our puppy's needs and shared an update with us during the day. She was personable and treated our dog like one of her own. We would be happy to have her watch our puppy again!”
“Sujeong and Changsun (and Gucci) provided such excellent care for my pup, Jobu. I was traveling for an event and they helped so much. I know he was very well cared for. They shared such cute photos too :)”

We also offer house sitting services; however, please note that we are not available for overnight stays at this time. We have a large, open yard where dogs can play and get plenty of exercise, as well as a designated playpen area in our basement for indoor fun and safety.

About: I have my own dog who is very energetic. I understand how to watch and care for a dog with a lot of energy and what they need I’m currently working part-time so I have a lot of extra time to care for dogs and any other animals and anything else that is needed. My backyard has a Fence and I have a dog. I have a lot of dog toys and have a perfect environment for other dogs to be happy just like mine.
“Jaideep is wonderful with my husky!! My husky is shy around men but Jaideep is definitely a dog whisperer!! He has changed my husky from being shy to my husky not wanting to leave Jaideep's house!!🤣 If you want someone who's attentive and cares about your dog Jaideep is your guy! Highly recommend!! Will be using Jaideep in the future!!”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I lived on a farm for years with cows, chickens, turkeys, and quail! Big or small, scaley or fluffy, I love all animals and will give them the respect and care they need. 150lb newfy who wants head pats and to drool on me? Absolutely! 6lb 20 year old cat who wants to yell at me and avoid eye contact? Say less. I've dealt with epileptic dogs, bladder stones in cats, and even beakless chickens. I'm up for any challenge! As someone lucky enough to work from home, I can position my job around your pet schedule. Weather I bring my laptop and snuggle up with your pup for the afternoon, take lunch and take a walk with your pooch, or stop in in the evening after my shift to give your cat head kisses. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. Whatever your pets need, I'm your gal. I had 6 dogs growing up and like to think I know how to read them. Your pets safety and your trust in me are my top priority. As an overbearing cat mom, I know just how important your pets are to your family.
“Dylan had an absolutely wonderful day with Michele, Nahla and Theo! Since it was his first day I was prepared to pick him up at noon time, but he was having so much fun he stayed until much later in the afternoon. We have already booked another full day in the very near future and I suspect this will be part of our routine! Michele is wonderful with animals and her dogs are happy, laid-back and great with those who come to play. I have absolutely no reservations about my beloved pup being with Michele and furry family members and give her an A+”
“I have been using Marie since I started booking with her and it always the best. She goes above and beyond to take care of Morty and give him plenty of exercise and love!!!”

We go on daily walks to ensure that their needs are taken care of.
“Sydney was always prompt at arriving for our dog's walk. She gave Chase extra attention since he was apprehensive about his new substitute walker. You can tell Sydney loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She will be my first choice whenever I need another substitute walker for Chase! Definitely recommend her.”
About: I have cared for animals for over 10 years on my own, which included letting them out taking them on walks, feeding them cleaning up outside bathing them. I also volunteer at shelters to help care for their animals. I have an extra few hours in my day, which allows me to have time to care for others when needed because I know how difficult it is to find a sitter while going away I would care for them just as I do my own with love respect and I would follow their routine and what they do for their pet so they feel comfortable while they are gone

“Marian was very willing to provide her dog walking services on such a short notice after I had a previous plan backfire on me. While I couldn't meet her beforehand, we put in a plan for her to get my keys so she can meet Bandit and take him for walks. She was very professional and from what I can tell, Bandit enjoyed his time with her and the walks. Highly recommend Marian and will definitely be using her for future needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of animals including dogs for over 13 years! In addition to caring for my own animals, I have been relied on by others to care for their pets as well. I consistently work on training with both my dog and cat. Currently, my dog Nani is learning to search for edible mushrooms on our hikes! I work remotely and make my own schedule so I have lots of flexibility/availability throughout the week! My work allows me to take time during the day to go on walks or to work on training/socializing as needed. I have my own friendly dog and cat who are very active. We go on lots of walks and play throughout the day. My focus is creating healthy stimulation and activities for our pets.
About: I've had pets my whole life. Growing up, my family had several dogs and cats amongst other animals. I am a cat mom of 3 (had 4 but lost my guy 3 years ago). And will one day be a doggo mom!! I love animals and believe when you take on the responsibility of owning a pet, that's it for their life. My guys live a fun, spoiled, laidback life and I would do anything for my guys. I unfortunately due to my oldest having diabetes and CHF, am familiar with administrating medication as I had to give insulin and he was on several meds (pills and compounded). I love all animals and will love them like my own. I will send photos/videos of your pet (anytime). Your pet will get my 1000% undivided attention!! I am super excited to watch/take care of your pet!! My schedule is very open currently which means more time for me to love on your pet(s)!! As my schedule changes, I'll do my best to be as accommodating as possible!! My pets are my world and come first. I make sure my pets are taken care of (fed, water, litter box cleaned etc) and put their needs over mine. Put in perspective, I tried dozens of options of foods and such when my oldest was diagnosed with diabetes and gave my all to find answers before he passed. My pets are my children LOL and your pets will get the exact kind of care and love that I provide my guys.
About: Growing up in a rural area, I am no stranger to being around livestock, dogs, cats, chickens, etc. My first job was in a vet/kennel setting where I worked as a groomer's assistant.

No problem, I've done it! - Do you have an elderly dog or cat who may require frequent changes to their bedding, litter box or diaper? I can help with that! From reptiles to poultry and everything in-between.. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and would love to meet yours. I take great pride in caring for other's animals as if they were my own. I am flexible, communicative, and not afraid to get my hands dirty if it means making sure your animal is comfortable and well cared for! I'm currently working part-time while pursuing a new career, which allows me to be flexible. I have availability mornings, afternoons, evenings & weekend to fit all your needs. As I am currently a renter, I am unable to care for your animal within my own home. Services I do provide would include: drop-in care, to walk, feed, or simply provide company & enrichment to your animals.

Since I work a set schedule Monday through Friday, food and potty breaks will be at regular times and consistent times throughout the week. And in certain circumstances, I will be able to stop by during my work shift if need be. I typically will stay the evening if doing a overnight sit, so the pets have company throughout the evening In case anything arises. I am capable of handling medicine, and any special requests you might have in regards to your pets!

About: I have always had a love for taking care of pets. Since I was a little child we always had more than 2 dogs in the house. I would help take care of them and provide them with the love they need. Our dogs had various issues over the years so I am experienced with dogs with varying health complications. Over the past 10 years I have done pet sitting as a side gig. I love getting to know people's pets and gaining trust. I have experience walking dogs up to 120 pounds and various walking habits. Currently I am available most week days and weekend with a few days heads up . I am also willing to do early morning visits. I am currently not accepting clients pets in my home. I do have a cat that just moved across country with him and my whole life is trying to make sure he is happy, gets some good plays in each day and is comfortable in our home space. Pets safety and trust so very important to me.

This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“Melissa is great! She sent me updates on Luna throughout her stay and she provided great care for her. Her property is amazing and has a lot of room for the dog to run and exercise!”
“This was the first time we’ve been away from our pup and Mandy made sure she’s well taken care of. Thank you for accommodating our little Bebon! ♡ You are like a family to her. God bless!”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”
“This was our first time having Crystal be caretaker for our two kitties. It was an outstanding first experience to say the least! Our kitties came home happy, clean (I mention this because the first thing our two kitties stop doing if they feel any kind of stress is letting the shine on their coats diminish. We picked them up today and they were shiny and bright!), and in very good moods. What made the stay even better was that Crystal's daughter and son also took such an active role in the care of our cats, which was so wonderful as the the two cats have different temperaments and both seemed happy with their stay! Just wow, wow, wow! It also was a stay over the Christmas holiday and Crystal was most accommodating! We will absolutely use Crystal again in the future!”
“Highly recommend Lorraine! We rescued our dog Westley from a kill shelter so he is very timid and skittish around new people. We also have never left him with anyone before. Lorraine was very patient with him and extremely compassionate and caring. She is prompt with message responses and updates. I couldn't have chosen a better sitter for Westley and plan on using Lorraine in the future!”
“Dane and Kayla were great. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times. They sent me updates with pictures during the day. Our dog seemed to be well cared for when we picked him up.”
“We had quickly sold our home and needed to go house shopping. Andrew agreed to watch our gooldendoodle on short notice. When we got back in town our pup seemed happy. I would recommend Andrew”
“Marián was incredible with my puppy! Her dogs are so friendly and did so well with her. Marián provided an ample amount of exercise and enrichment for Luna. Her timing was flexible which i appreciated so much. Many updates and pictures were provided which put me at ease. I am already planning on booking her to watch my puppy again for my next vacation.”
About: I love dogs! Over the last 15 years I have fostered over 90 dogs and have owned 7 myself. I currently have 2 pups living with my husband and I. I enjoy loving on them and giving them an amazing life. Dogs have always been a vital part of my life and being able to provide a safe loving environment for other people's dogs makes my heart happy. My husband and I both work from home and are home bodies. Someone is home 96% of the time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and accommodate any schedule your pup is on. I have a small fenced yard and 2 fur kids to n keep your dog company. We can go on walks, always on leash. And best of all inclusive offer lots of love and attention to your pup. I will provide pics and videos of your pets.care and time with me.
