Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mainland
“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with a dog sitter for a week, and first time using Rover to assist us. We chose Shona who resides in the same township as us which was a plus and convenient for drop off and pickup. Shona also keep us updated with pictures and messages. My dogs seemed very happy with her which gave us great comfort knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Shona for taking great care of Zoey and Cleo for us!!!”
“Mike and Lorraine took such great care of Van while we were away! We were nervous using Rover for the first time and they really put us at ease. We loved the picture updates and kind feedback throughout the stay. Will definitely hope to book with them for future trips.”
“This was our first time trusting someone with our pup as well as our babies first time being away from us for more than a day, and I am happy to say Amanda is the best dog sitter you could ask for. She sends multiple photos/updates, has a beautiful yard, and enjoys cuddles as much as our girl does. Definitely will be rebooking with her and recommending her to close friends. Thank you again for taking care of Lady whilst we were away ! 10/10✨✨✨”
“Once again Katherine took great care of Yogi! He looks healthy and happy. She kept us updated with photos during our trip. It gave us peace of mind when we were traveling knowing that Yogi is in such good hands! Will definitely have Yogi board with here again in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Amanda enough! She is very knowledgeable with dogs, especially large breed like I have. The environment is perfect with lots of yard to play in, and a calm family setting indoors which I know my guy loves.”
“Chonlada was amazing with our little girl! She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative the entire weekend our bulldog was with her. Penny came home and slept for 24 hours straight after having such a fun time!”
“Roxie had a great stay at Diego & Amelia’s house. I loved the pictures they sent each day. Reassured me she was being taken care of and having a good time with their family. I loved that they took her for long walks and tired her out. She loved having the children and other dogs around. My favorite picture was of the 3 dogs sleeping together. I will definitely leave Roxie with them again.”
“Kristin is great! Her house was well kept, with a nice backyard for playtime. Her pets made great companions and she took great care of my pup. She'll be my first choice next time I need someone to watch him.”
“I don't know why it took me so long to post this review. Tyler was absolutely amazing with my dog, Austin! I had originally booked Austin with Tyler for one week but due to housing issues I had to extend his stay. I actually had to extend Austin's stay a few times and Tyler was always happy and willing to house Austin for as long as we needed. Tyler let me come visit Austin periodically since I missed him so much, and every time I visited Austin looked great and seemed truly happy there. I will 10/10 rebook with Tyler! I am forever grateful for Tyler's help throughout that difficult time and highly recommend using him for whatever length of stay your pup or kitty needs.”
“Alec and Stephanie have watched my big, energetic German shepherd/ Belgian malinois cross a couple of times now. My dog seems to really like staying with Alec and Stephanie (and Fenton the cat!), and I appreciate the pictures and updates they send.”
“Lynda took very good care of my two dogs who can be a handful, especially one of them. She kept me informed and I could see that they were comfortable and made themselves at home by taking over the sofa as their spot.”
“Amy was extremely flexible on the day that I dropped off my pups. I was greatly delayed because of an accidental slip-and-fall event as I prepared to leave home, but she was extremely accommodating. My pups were clearly well cared for and the picture she sent of them snuggling together was very reassuring. I will definitely be calling on Amy for help once again for my two dogs.”
“This was my first time using Shamira. She took such good care of my little Nina and made her feel so comfortable. Nina is an older dog who is blind so she has special needs. Shamira did a wonderful job making sure she was safe and well cared for! We will definitely be sending Nina to Shamira again!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets all my life. Now that I’m an adult I have 5 cats and a dog. I’ve fostered (and foster failed) both cats and dogs over the years. I watch my friend’s pets here and at their homes as well. At my house I have a spare room that can be your animal’s home away from home if they need their own secluded space. I also have a fenced in yard with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers. Come in the summer and I’ll send you home with some fresh veggies from my garden too! I get up early for work and make sure to leave plenty of time to feed, clean litter boxes and make sure all my four legged babies are ready for the day. Once home in the afternoon and after I lay down on the couch they all come to find me for love and to lay on me for all the pets. At night all are welcome to sleep with me, on the couch or wherever they are the most comfortable. I home almost all day over the weekends except for the morning time on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard so any dogs are able to go outside whenever they need to to play, pee or lay in the sun. I watch my neighbor’s dogs as needed and will go over every 4 or so hours to let them out over the weekends. During the week I let them out before I go to work and then as soon as I come home. I then let them out again before bed around 8pm. I also am able to let them out as needed when they are in a pinch and can’t get home in time. My cats and yours if they come for a stay will have water and toys available to them at all times. They will be fed twice a day with a snack of crunchies before bed. If you needed me to come to your house to take care of your cats and/or dogs, I would be able to come early in the morning, after work and before bed during the week and every 4-6 hours during the weekend. While at your house I can take animals for a walk, play, give pets and love, brush or whatever else is needed. Of course I’d feed them and clean kitty litter boxes or whatever else your babies need. I am good with giving medicine to cats and dogs. I give daily medication to my dog and have had to give cats medicine in the past.

Regular photos and updates so you can see how your pup is doing. I'm happy to adjust my schedule to match your dog's usual routine as closely as possible! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, supervised, and welcoming environment so you can feel confident while you are away. I work from home so your dog will rarely (if at all) be left alone I closely monitor all interactions between dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs. I take time to properly introduce dogs to make sure it's a good fit. I can separate dogs if needed for their safety, rest, or feeding. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your dog feels at home and you feel completely at ease.
“Harper stayed with Kim, her daughter and pup for half a week for the first time. We had a meet and greet and the pups were running around in Kim’s big backyard. They got along so well. I knew then that Harper would enjoy her stay with her new friend, Nala. I was afraid Harper would not want to come home after all the play and rest time there. Im sure Harper will be happy to go back to Kim’s!”

“Meghan took great care of my cats and gave me consistent updates. She spent good time with them as well, once I got home my one cat was like, " Dad, we need to talk, this is when we play each day and you make me chase the hairy tail looking toy thing".”
“Alicia was so great with my cat while we were away. She took great care of her, took photos, and sent detailed notes each visit. I definitely recommend Alicia and we will have her back next time we go away.”
“I had an amazing experience with Fozia as my cat sitter. This was my cat’s first time away from me and around other cats, so I was pretty nervous, but Fozia made the entire process so reassuring. She sent pictures every day, kept me updated, and made sure my cat felt comfortable and safe. She gave with the sweetest gift bag, which was such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi I’m Jen! I grew up with dogs and have always been super comfortable around them, and have always been protective of them as well. I am comfortable with all dog/cat breeds and will protect/care for them as if they were my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 9-5 and I am available on the weekends. I can also help out during the week once I get home from work. I have a 2 floor apartment with my own entrance and there is a lot of yard space in front of my apartment (no fence). There is also a small dog park in my apartment complex that is fenced in.
“We used Liz for the first time to take care of Jack since our regular sitter was unavailable. She was great at keeping us updated and sending pictures each visit. We'd definitely use her again.”
“Brooke is very kind and thoughtful. She took care of my cat while I was away on a work trip. Kitty doesn’t like anyone, but Brooke followed my directions and was communicative and awesome to work with. Thanks!”
“Shona did a wonderful job with her drop-in visits with my Cat. Her timing each day was consistent, my house was kept just as I left it, and she even made sure that my Chewy order made it inside; and got rid of the packing!! I would recommend Shona for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“We were so happy to have Delaney care for our 2 kittens while we were away. We loved hearing her daily reports on their activities and seeing her pictures. She was also able to administer their medicine. We could tell they received lots of love and were well cared for with Delaney!”
“Autumn was great with my kitties! She sent us daily reports and cute photos which I appreciated. Even though I left overwhelming instructions, she had no issues with anything. Our cats were happy when we got home so she is a great sitter and we will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience working as a designated kitty care staff member at a local Humane Society, where I was responsible for feeding, administering medication, cleaning enclosures, and socializing cats daily. This experience gave me a strong understanding of feline behavior, health, and the importance of maintaining clean, low stress environment. I’ve worked closely with cats of all backgrounds, including those who were abused or had never trusted humans before. Through patient, consistent care, I’ve helped many of these cats come out of their shells and build trust, something I take great pride in. I understand to read, body language, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each individual cat’s needs. In addition to my shelter experience, I’ve been pet sitting for cats in my neighborhood since high school and have consistently received excellent feedback for the quality of care I provide. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mainland
“Shona and her family were amazing! Our dogs have never been to daycare and never boarded, but they loved it. Shona sent pictures and kept us updated. One of our dogs is afraid of everything, but she was happy and comfortable enough to nap on their sofa. And Shona was not even upset that we arrived early and woke her up, lol! We will definitely be repeat customers when the need arises. We would recommend Shona to anyone.”
“Sandy loved to go to Kim's home every morning. He enjoyed the loving care of Kim and family and the company of sweet and friendly Nala. I am glad I found Kim on Rover. I had to drive long hours to NJ for work several days. Kim and family took care of very playful "toddler" Sandy with patience.”
“Belle had such an amazing time! Chonlada and her fam were absolutely amazing. We are from out of state and were a little nervous to leave Belle, but Chonlada made it such a great experience and took wonderful care of our pup. She even sent Belle home with a parting gift and her daughters drew a beautiful pic of Belle! I would certainly trust Chonlada with any dog!”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Mochi with a sitter. Jason was so responsive from the start. He sent lots of photos and it was evident he’s a pro! Mochi had a great day!! I would recommend him everytime! Thank you again!”
About: Hello, my name is Kaitlin! I love drawing and my muse are pets. I love animals and are often the subject of my art. I love to take my dogs out, it brings me joy seeing their tails wag as I say “Wanna go outside?” I believe a well exercised and a well fed dog is a happy one. I love all dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have cared for a total of five of my own dogs in my lifetime and I hope to take care of a lot more. I am confident in my ability to adapt to each pets specific needs. I ideally would love to care for your pet anytime as I have none in my current place. I long for a pet of my own once we are financially able to. I will care for the pet using instructions of the owner. I will make sure to supervise the pet in either my place or their place, either way I'll make sure they get there steps in as well as fed well.
“Kristin is amazing! She responds quickly, sends the cutest picture updates, and our pups were very well taken care of (and had lots of fun). It was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have chosen Kristin - her professionalism and clear love for animals put me at ease quickly, and I would highly recommend!”
About: I have owned, trained and cared for dogs, cats and horses over the last 17 years. I also work with a dog rescue organization in the area and have fostered over 40 dogs in the last 3 years. As an avid animal lover I understand the significant impact that owning animals has on our ability to travel and relax when away. I want to provide people the opportunity to travel care-free while their dogs enjoy the best care being boarded in my home. I have a very dog-friendly house with a fully secure fenced in yard. I work from home so dogs receive attention all day and night and get lots of playtime. Dogs boarded here will get free roam of the house but can also have and use a crate at the owner’s request. I am able to feed special diets and give medication as needed. If your dog stays here they will be welcomed into my house as if they were one of my own. Dogs that come here should be friendly with both male and female dogs. There are no cats in the home. I am also available for lunch time, evening and weekend dog walking. I work from home and am here almost all of the time for boarding in my home. I am also available to provide dog walks during the week in the evenings, sometimes over lunch and on the weekends. Dogs cared for in my home will be treated as if they were my own. They are able to roam about the house and use the full fenced yard. Dogs are allowed on my bed and on the couches in the home, in addition to the many dog beds throughout. Owners can expect frequent photos and updates on their pup!

“Our dogs had a WONDERFUL day with Amanda! They were happy to be there and explore her huge backyard. Amanda is great with communication and very flexible with our schedule. One of our dogs can be reactive at times and the other one is very shy. They both immediately felt comfortable with Amanda and settled in quickly. That is a testament to her skill at handling different types of dogs. Highly recommend her, without hesitation, and our dogs are looking forward to their next visits with her!”
About: I have had pets of my own for many years and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. I'm currently a teacher, but will have the summer off which allows me to be more flexible and available for pet care throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and get exercise. I make sure pets are secure at all times.
“Overall great experience all around. Ruth was so kind! she was waiting for us when we arrived to drop dino off and had dino all ready to go when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Ruth again!”
“Amanda took great care of our mini poodle Lily. She sent lovely photos and videos of Lily enjoying her backyard. She was accommodating when we needed to drop off earlier than expected. Would recommend for your pets needs!”
About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.
“Allan was very accommodating and sent pictures of our pup while we were away. He answered our questions in a timely manner and our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use him again!”
“Ena and Daniel watched my pup on very short notice today- which I appreciated immensely! My little girl is very skittish and I was worried that she wouldn’t interact but it was just the opposite- within 15 minutes of me dropping her off they posted pictures of her on their laps, drinking water and hanging out with their dog it made my stressful day so much better! I will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I watch all my friends dogs while they go on vacation as well as play dates. I work from home so I can spend all day with the dog. I have a GSP so I’m used to high energy around here! I have a fenced in yard, have a crate if needed, plenty of walkable paths. Good with medications and allowing dogs to be comfortable in my home on the furniture!
“They watched my Roxie last minute! I was very anxious but after getting the first picture it all went away. This is the first time Roxie was without family & they said she did well. I’m glad they enjoyed her. We appreciate the last minute help and will be using again soon (:”
“I met Sarah before my initial drop off. She is patient and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease since this was my first time leaving Carson with someone other than family. Sarah sent pictures to let me throughout the day to let me know everything was going well. Carson had a great day and was exhausted when he came home. We will DEFINITELY be back.”

“Dustin has been wonderful! He's very gentle with Larry and very kind. I noticed he takes note of Larry's harness and if it's too loose or uncomfy for him. Larry loves him! I definitely recommend hiring Dustin for walks.”
About: When I was younger I used to take care of my neighbors dogs, house sit for them and walk their dogs. I've also raised other animals, like ducks, rabbits, reptiles, and fish. People have always called me the animal whisperer, i've rescued animals and returned them back to wildlife lots of times in my life, and i just think animals (ALL PETS) bring me so much joy and peace , I would do anything for just about any animal that lives, to make their life as fulfilled and loved as i can. My duties for caring for any animal would be properly maintaining their feeding and walking schedules. Bathe and brush(if necessary), playtimes as well as training procedures (if applicable) Pet sitting/House sitting. Your pets will be in great hands! Hello, my availability is posted in my calendar, please check to see if the dates you need a sitter are available in my schedule. If so I will be more than happy to watch after your animals! Thank you! I like to maintain schedule, dietary restrictions, exercise, walking and feeding schedules. Any maintenance that comes along with watching after your pets. You let me know what you need, and I can do it.
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every animal as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience caring for pets through managing homes and vacation rentals, along with volunteering for animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, where I worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, administering basic routines, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I’m very detail-oriented, dependable, and communicative, so pet parents always know their animals are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and manage my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and companionship instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for them feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just a job. I also keep my schedule organized and communicate well with pet parents so they always feel informed and comfortable while they’re away. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully while giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. Because I work from home and manage my own schedule, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, companionship, and check-ins throughout the day instead of pets being left alone for long periods. I have experience with animals of different temperaments through volunteering with animal shelters and farms in Wisconsin, so I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets that may need extra patience and attention.
About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pets of friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently doing online college, majoring In Biomedical Science! Because of this, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the week and (or) weekends! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house-sitting, and I have reliable transportation. I love staying active and spending time with fur babies, so this fits perfectly into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be one of my top priorities. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, grooming, walks, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal has different types of needs and personalities, so I always take time to make them feel safe and relaxed. I also love to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and in good hands! 🐾
“This is the first time I’ve booked with Alicia and she was so friendly and great with my dog! She even went out of her way to help me with a key swap. She came by for a meet and greet before our trip and always spent a minimum of 30 minutes walking my dog and/or taking him to the dog park for some play time.”
About: As an elementary teacher, I exhibit patience, responsibility, and a nurturing personality, which goes hand in hand with pet care. I am experienced in creating safe and positive environments while giving every child AND pet attention, kindness, and dependable care. I also own Shiba Inus, a breed known for being independent and stubborn, so I am very comfortable handling strong personalities, building trust, and providing consistent, loving care. In the summers, I have more flexibility and availability as a teacher, which allows me to dedicate extra time and attention to pets throughout the week. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I provide exercise, attention, breaks, and positive interaction during the walk. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I can support them by feeding them, refilling water, giving bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and lots of affection. I also make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.
About: I am a mom to a 7 and 9 year old. I also have an 18 year old stepdaughter. We have 2 dogs: Luke (doxie-poo) who is mostly blind and deaf and Sunny (Havapoo) who loves to play! We also have chickens and 2 barn cats (Aster and Harvest). I currently work 2 jobs at different schools. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I work 10:45-1:45. Tuesday and Thursday I work 8:30-12. I am off during the summer hanging out with my kids and attending to their love of sports, friends and being outside! Before becoming a mom I worked at PetSmart for 12 years. I started off working with the small animals, birds, reptiles and fish (so if you need someone to watch them, we could figure something out). Then I was a general manager for the PetsHotel. We ran camp everyday for 5-50 dogs. We also accommodated over 150 dogs for overnight stays. I love meeting new pet parents and of course snuggling up with new puppy friends. I have experience with not only watching and caring for dogs but I have also dealt with medical emergency situations and know what to do. If you have a bigger senior dog or a big dog that isn't too energetic that would be fine. I would love to meet you and your pet(s)! I am still at home for the majority of the day if not the whole day. There may be a few times I would need to bring my kids with me but they will not be in the way. I will make sure that all doors are closed before letting your dog out of the crate. When walking, I like to use a slip leash as well as your own leash.
About: Hi, my name is Lauren, and I have been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was surrounded by many different types of animals, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. As a devoted pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I have experience working with pets that require special care, including diabetic animals and those who need medications administered. I am also comfortable with bathing and providing basic grooming support. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I believe that happy pets are active and engaged, so I focus on providing plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and enrichment through walks, playtime, and activities that meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I look forward to meeting you and providing the best possible care for your beloved pets! 🐾💜 I currently work full-time in a school and am available for pet care services during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I am happy to help. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and exercise, so I strive to make every visit a positive experience. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and treat your pets like family while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! 🐾💜 At this time, I am unable to offer pet care services in my home due to my reactive dog. However, I am more than happy to come to your home and provide the care your pet needs in the comfort of their familiar environment. Whether your furry family member needs walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, playtime, or companionship, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, treating them with the same love and attention I give my own pets. 🐾💜
About: My name is Katie and I am a caring pet sitter who has pet-sat dogs and cats of many breeds, ages, and sizes. 😊 I also had a pocket beagle named Harley who passed away a few years ago and have lived with a cat (through roommates) before. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets! All photos are of pets I have cared for in the past. Message me if you have any questions! :) I have flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets whenever needed! Have a trip or event planned? Feel free to reach out. Preferably local to the Montgomery county area. In client’s homes, I’m very respectful and loving towards pets. I follow instructions exactly how they’re given. I also used to have a dog of my own, and have lived with a cat before. I have extensive experience dog-sitting.
“Autumn was really great, I live in a condo and she gratiously met me earlier in the week to meet my two dogs and pick up the keys. My two can be little barkers but they definitely took to Autumn and did well even on Halloween night. They can be barkers when I walk with them but Autumn said that the tricker treaters didn't bother them at all, so Autumn must have worked some magic with them. I totally recommend Autumn and will be asking her again in the future. Thank you so much Autumn. Appreciate you so much for doing the walk on Halloween.”
About: I am new to Rover :)) I have taken care of dogs since high school. I graduated college in 2023 with a degree in Health Sciences. I am currently working as an aide at a physical therapy clinic, and looking to make extra money. I love pet sitting and caring for animals is one of my strong suits. I am always willing to accommodate you and your dogs needs and I will always care for them like they are my own! I am currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am a home body, so I am always at home and also have my mom and grandmom in the home to help if need be. In a clients home, I will leave it completely up to you, how I walk, feed, crate, etc. your dog. But I will always care for your dog as if they were my own! For pet sitting at my home, I do not have a fenced in yard but I usually walk the dogs on leashes around my yard or take them to the park by my house to walk them. I can crate them anywhere in the home if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys/crates/ dog accessories from my own dog.

“Adrienne watched our fur baby Triple for the first time overnight. She was great! Triple enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with a dog sitter for a week, and first time using Rover to assist us. We chose Shona who resides in the same township as us which was a plus and convenient for drop off and pickup. Shona also keep us updated with pictures and messages. My dogs seemed very happy with her which gave us great comfort knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Shona for taking great care of Zoey and Cleo for us!!!”
“I can’t recommend Amanda enough! She is very knowledgeable with dogs, especially large breed like I have. The environment is perfect with lots of yard to play in, and a calm family setting indoors which I know my guy loves.”
“I don't know why it took me so long to post this review. Tyler was absolutely amazing with my dog, Austin! I had originally booked Austin with Tyler for one week but due to housing issues I had to extend his stay. I actually had to extend Austin's stay a few times and Tyler was always happy and willing to house Austin for as long as we needed. Tyler let me come visit Austin periodically since I missed him so much, and every time I visited Austin looked great and seemed truly happy there. I will 10/10 rebook with Tyler! I am forever grateful for Tyler's help throughout that difficult time and highly recommend using him for whatever length of stay your pup or kitty needs.”
“Alec and Stephanie have watched my big, energetic German shepherd/ Belgian malinois cross a couple of times now. My dog seems to really like staying with Alec and Stephanie (and Fenton the cat!), and I appreciate the pictures and updates they send.”
“Lynda took very good care of my two dogs who can be a handful, especially one of them. She kept me informed and I could see that they were comfortable and made themselves at home by taking over the sofa as their spot.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets all my life. Now that I’m an adult I have 5 cats and a dog. I’ve fostered (and foster failed) both cats and dogs over the years. I watch my friend’s pets here and at their homes as well. At my house I have a spare room that can be your animal’s home away from home if they need their own secluded space. I also have a fenced in yard with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers. Come in the summer and I’ll send you home with some fresh veggies from my garden too! I get up early for work and make sure to leave plenty of time to feed, clean litter boxes and make sure all my four legged babies are ready for the day. Once home in the afternoon and after I lay down on the couch they all come to find me for love and to lay on me for all the pets. At night all are welcome to sleep with me, on the couch or wherever they are the most comfortable. I home almost all day over the weekends except for the morning time on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard so any dogs are able to go outside whenever they need to to play, pee or lay in the sun. I watch my neighbor’s dogs as needed and will go over every 4 or so hours to let them out over the weekends. During the week I let them out before I go to work and then as soon as I come home. I then let them out again before bed around 8pm. I also am able to let them out as needed when they are in a pinch and can’t get home in time. My cats and yours if they come for a stay will have water and toys available to them at all times. They will be fed twice a day with a snack of crunchies before bed. If you needed me to come to your house to take care of your cats and/or dogs, I would be able to come early in the morning, after work and before bed during the week and every 4-6 hours during the weekend. While at your house I can take animals for a walk, play, give pets and love, brush or whatever else is needed. Of course I’d feed them and clean kitty litter boxes or whatever else your babies need. I am good with giving medicine to cats and dogs. I give daily medication to my dog and have had to give cats medicine in the past.
“Harper stayed with Kim, her daughter and pup for half a week for the first time. We had a meet and greet and the pups were running around in Kim’s big backyard. They got along so well. I knew then that Harper would enjoy her stay with her new friend, Nala. I was afraid Harper would not want to come home after all the play and rest time there. Im sure Harper will be happy to go back to Kim’s!”
“Andrew was wonderful from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and flexible- we had to adjust our days after booking due to an unexpected funeral and he made the changes quickly. Our dog got really great care with frequent updates and pics and it was very clear Andrew really enjoys taking care of animals! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!”
“Ceinwen is absolutely fantastic. She and her lovely two daughters have gone above and beyond to ensure that my fur kids are safe and well cared for when I travel. I can’t give enough stars!!!”
“Great experience. Wilbur seemed very happy and got along with Rocky. I especially appreciate that Andrew & Jacklynn had to care for Wilbur during the coldest spell this winter! I appreciate the extra effort in sending pictures & posts, especially for a 1st booking. So glad we found them and have confidence for subsequent bookings.”
“I Want to gatekeep this woman so bad because the truth is.... she was frikking incredible. She sent me SO MANY Pictures of my girl Koko while i was abroad and even took koko on car rides, hiking and swimming. I felt SO INCREDIBLY at ease leaving Koko with her newly minted Titi Coleen. Coleen is a great and genuine person. I trust her with Koko and i know that anyone can trust her with their loved pets”
“Rufus enjoyed his stay at Martin’s with lots of time running’s outdoors through the woods , playing with the other dogs and splashing in the stream and pond. We appreciated the pictures and videos during his stay. Martin was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Communication was great with quick response times. We could tell Rufus was comfortable and happy when we came to pick him up as he rolled at Martin’s feet for attention. Rufus was tired after his activity filled stay sleeping well the night we brought him home and the next day!”
“Sarah was awesome!! Ginger had a 5 day boarding stay and Sarah kept in touch by sending pics and videos. She made my Gingy feel right at home. I would certainly recommend and Ginger would definitely board again!! Thank you!”
“Wendy is hands down my favorite sitter. Her responsiveness is excellent, she's always accommodating. Her property is perfect for dogs. She treats my dog as if it were her own. It's definitely Pepper's favorite place to be! In all my experiences with Wendy, there have never been any issues. She follows care instructions and provides regular updates. Wendy always my first choice whenever I need a dog sitter. I highly recommend her services to any pet owner seeking dependable, high-quality care for their furry friend.”
