“Oralee always takes such good care of my dogs. It’s a good feeling when you can go away and know that your dogs are being loved and playing with their doggy friends and that they are having so much fun. I love the pictures she sends daily. They help the kids not miss them so much. I highly recommend Oralee. I’m so grateful I found her.”
“Martina was a great sitter to Sadé! She gave Sadé plenty of outside time and her kids were great with Sadé as well. She was accommodating and flexible with her schedule. I will definitely book again!”
“First time boarding my pup and Lexie made it a great process. Amazing facility and attention to care. Got updates daily. Will definitely go through her again if I need boarding services.”
“Walle has such a wonderful time with Whitney and Ryan! Once he realized where we were going he was so excited! I hate to leave him but it’s made way easier know he is well looked after”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“This was our first time ever leaving our dog ! He is 14 months and still quite the puppy. Tracy and her family were amazing and I looked forward to the fun pictures she sent. I know Jeter had a fun time ! So very happy with everything !”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
“Kirsten is absolutely wonderful! Our fur babies always come home happy & content! We trust Kirsten, appreciate her TLC, and we have such peace of mind when our boys are with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Jack & Benny ☺️”
“Chad was absolutely wonderful and Beatrice had the best time with him and his family. He took great care of her and sent regular updates on how she was going and how she was settling in. Definitely recommend!”
“We have used several Rover sitters and had good results with all of them but Becky is a step above. We had to go out of state over Thanksgiving and our pup was going to need more attention than normal as she was having back surgery on Tuesday after we returned. Becky was the only sitter that I would trust to take care of Max and would have stayed home with Max if she had not been available. Highly recommend Becky,”
“Kristen was able to take on boarding our pup last minute and was very communicative and sent multiple updates throughout his stay with her! We picked up a happy, tired dog. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Merrell took such great care of Saint, both weekends I was out of town. She regularly communicated and sent photos of my pup playing and keeping me updated on how he doing/getting along with her other dogs. I would highly recommend using Merrell for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and began pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around the age of 10. I’ve had a dog of my own for about 6 years now who gets along very well with other dogs and cats. Happy to care for pets of any age and willing to administer medications or provide other special needs to pets if needed. I have a lot of free time in the next couple of months as I am waiting to start a job a few months from now. I will have plenty of time to drop in to check on pets, regular walks, and boarding! I have a very friendly dog that gets along well with cats and dogs alike. I am happy to welcome your pet into my home or come to your home to care for your fur babies too.
“Adia was very loving and accommodating for our nervous pup. We also really appreciated her willingness to work with us when plans changed during the trip. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care that Tabitha provided for my furry baby! They were incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog, Rubble, is always excited to see her, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Tabitha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pet. We are repeat clients.”
“This was my 1st time ever using a pet sitter and it was a great experience, Daquan sent updates throughout the day. Our small morkie is very shy and scary and she broke out of her shell, my fur babies were very comfortable. Will definitely rebook again if needed.”
“She was great! She constantly communicated and updated me everyday with how my boys were doing and they were very happy with her. I will definitely be using her again, she’s wonderful with my boys!”
“So happy! My dog was able to experience comfort and excitement while on my trip .. Ms. Nikki constantly sent photos and videos and informed me about the changes in my dog. Thank you once again from myself and Marley !”
“Veronica is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My dog was so comfortable with her and I could enjoy my time away knowing she was well taken care of. I received regular updates and pictures and Veronica immediately let me know when she suspected my dog had a UTI. She even made little treats for the dogs for Thanksgiving (she did ask permission to give them first). ❤️ Will absolutely be booking with her again.”

“This was my first Rover experience and I'm so happy I booked with Tracy! My fur baby, Theo, seemed to be well taken care of all day and very entertained. He was tired and content when we came to get him at the end of the day. I couldn't have asked for better! He got to run around outside with her dogs, play, and also some downtime to snuggle. We will see them again, for sure!”
About: I am comfortable caring for dogs with different needs, including puppies who require structure and routine, as well as senior dogs who may need a calmer, more controlled environment. I also pay close attention to feeding schedules, behavior, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Overall, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and reliable home-style boarding experience where your dog is treated with care and consistency. Pet care is built into my daily routine with a consistent and structured schedule. I work close to home, which allows me to check on the dogs multiple times throughout the day. While I am away, dogs are safely kenneled in a clean, climate controlled indoor space with access to water, bedding, and toys. This ensures their safety and prevents any issues between dogs. I provide care in a structured, safe, and clean home-style environment tailored to each dog’s needs. In my home setup, dogs have a designated indoor boarding space that is climate-controlled and kept clean at all times. Each dog has their own kennel area for rest, along with comfortable bedding, water, and toys. While I am away, dogs are safely kenneled to prevent any issues and ensure a calm environment. I follow a consistent daily routine that includes morning, midday, and evening check-ins. During these times, dogs are walked, fed according to their specific schedule, and monitored closely. I keep detailed notes on feeding instructions, behavior, and any special care needs to make sure each dog’s routine is followed exactly as requested. When I am home, dogs receive supervised playtime and are welcome to relax in a separate lounge area for a more comfortable, home like experience. I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to ensure each pet receives personal attention and care.
“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
“Qais is the perfect rover! Qais was very kind and compassionate to my dogs needs and had awesome communication skills. Qais send picture and videos as well as daily updates. Qais is the man and I will be rebooking in the future! If you’re looking for a great person to care for your fury family book with Qais! Thank you Qais!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something I love. I’ve shared my life with so many kinds of creatures over the years: dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, birds, fish, hamsters, and even a bearded dragon. Each one has taught me something about presence, trust, and unconditional love. I have a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel safe and seen. I’m comfortable with senior pets, puppies, and those who need medication or special care. I’ve been doing this for over twenty years, and I bring both deep experience and genuine heart to every animal I meet. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and doggy daycare — everything except overnight stays in my home. Whether your pet needs a peaceful companion, an attentive caregiver, or someone who simply gets them, I’ll show up with gentleness, reliability, and real love. As a stay-at-home potter, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent, loving care. I can provide morning and afternoon visits for walks, meals, and play, as well as in-home care during longer stretches while I manage my creative work. Weekends or flexible blocks allow for longer walks, extra playtime, or special needs care. My schedule lets me meet pets’ needs while keeping a calm, attentive presence. I know what it’s like to love your pets like family — I’ve had animals in my life my whole life, and I understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with them. That’s why I bring calm, confident energy and treat every pet as if they were my own. I love caring for pets right in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. Being in a familiar space helps them stay relaxed, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages — from playful puppies to seniors — and with pets who need medication or special care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and understood. I also keep your home cared for, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.

“Maggie was fantastic. We needed someone to watch our dog, Teddy, for part of the day while we were visiting from out of town. Maggie was quick to respond when I initially reached out and made sure she knew everything she would need to take care of our dog for his stay. Teddy can get nervous when we leave him, but Maggie and her dog were the perfect companions for him. Teddy was in a great mood when we picked him up, and we would definitely leave him with Maggie again if we are back in the area.”

About: Originally from North Italy I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my role as a K9 Search and Rescue Coordinator in Germany before moving here not long ago, where I trained and handled dogs in obedience, tracking, and real-world scenarios.

DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that. A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!

“Oralee always takes such good care of my dogs. It’s a good feeling when you can go away and know that your dogs are being loved and playing with their doggy friends and that they are having so much fun. I love the pictures she sends daily. They help the kids not miss them so much. I highly recommend Oralee. I’m so grateful I found her.”

“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”

“Eileen was wonderful! She was very kind and communicative throughout Chyna’s stay. Her home was clean and welcoming, and she consistently sent pictures and updates which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. At one point, her dog got into Chyna’s food, and she immediately offered something toward the cost of replacing it. I really appreciated the gesture because things like that can happen, and her willingness to acknowledge it and help meant a lot. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”
