“I like bringing Sidekick here because I can tell she has a great time. She gets plenty of time to play outdoors and plenty of care and attention from Alyssa and her family. Coordinating drop off/pick up is easy too.”
“I can't tell you how happy we are to have found Carri on Rover! Our shy, nervous rescue loved his experience with Carri! He was so well taken care of and had a blast. Carri sent pictures and videos and gave us updates on how he was doing. We were so impressed. My husband and I kept saying, "it was like our dog was at summer camp". We had such peace of mind knowing he was with her, that we were able to completely enjoy our vacation! We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Tyler was awesome. He has a great place and I could tell my dog would be well taken care of. My puppy greeted him like a long lost owner, I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come back home with me. Lol. I was given photos and updates and I honestly just did not worry one bit the entire time Tyler had my pup. I am relieved that there is a trusted person to leave my pup with in the future should I need a dog sitter again.”
“Hayley was great. Super responsive and you can tell she really loves what she does. Our Indie girl came home very happy and enjoyed being able to hang out with her family. We will definitely use her again when we travel!”
“Our dog have a good time there. She really has knowledge of dogs, and she will be looking at your dog uniqness and treat accordingly. She is Perfect!!! Look no more, Charity is the best!!!”
About: I am an RN, used to looking after folks since 1987, I have fostered for several dog rescues over the years also. My care and concern for dogs welfare is huge! I’m part time working so have plenty time to spend with the dogs. I have a large country homestead setting, with safe fenced in areas for play and exercise! My two dogs are used to playing with other dog friends - all under supervision, with crates for rest time, and separate areas for mealtimes in case of issues.
“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”
“Cyndie was the PERFECT match for my Farrah Grace. She sent pictures and updates at the most prefect times. We will ALWAYS be using Cyndie for future pet sitting.”
“Ms Sandy was so great with our senior dog, Vixen! I never worried about her and Sandy sent several pictures of her happy! Ms Sandy also was great with some of the senior dog issues Vixen sometimes has. Overall I felt extremely at ease with Vixen staying there and would definitely have her watch our dog again!”

“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“Shiloh was so good to us and our pup. She went above and beyond with caring for him and making him feel at home while we were away. He had an incident with a groomer before his stay and she was SO helpful with administering his medicine. Highly recommend!!”
“Misty took great care of Luna! I received updates on how she was doing along with pictures, which helped to put my mind at ease and I know my girl had a great time. We will definitely request with Misty for our next trip.”
“Such a great fit for us and our girls! Elizabeth was a perfect host making sure they felt at home. Her 2 pups are precious and played with ours. The videos were fun and reassuring. We will definitely be back! ??????????”
“Shannon and Barbara took wonderful care of my dog, Bunny. I could not be more grateful and impressed. They had wonderful response times and answered any questions I had since it was my first time leaving Bunny with someone outside of family. They updated me frequently and made this whole process a dream. Definitely planning on rebooting with them in the future!”
“Patti and family gave our Tenby much love and care while we were away on family business. She was able to extend his stay when we were suddenly required out of town longer than we thought. Patti kept us updated with photos and reassurance that all was fine. Thank you Patti for helping us when we needed it most!”

“Spent lots of time with my kitties was just what the doctor ordered! They are so needy and lovey and Rob gave them the attention they desired. They are also usually weary of men but not Rob, they were completely comfortable hanging out together.”
“Thanks Ariel! We'd be happy to use you again as our cat sitter as long as you're still available! Ariel took lots of videos and photos of our cats, even though they mostly hid from her - she was still able to find them. She also was able to operate and clean out our Litter Robot and have them tuna wet food treats. We were on a very long vacation and this brought a ton of peace of mind to us.”
About: Let me help you get it back! I have 3 sweet girls right now, and wouldn’t know life without them. I trim their nails, clean their ear canals, and give them sanitary trims/wipes. I have been raised around cats, and have helped a mother deliver her 11 kittens… that just so happened to be on my birthday, best gift ever… so I am quite familiar with medical care, and overall boundaries when it comes to making your babies feel comfortable. My girls have never known a “spook” before so I can assure you it will be my goal to keep your angels as comfortable as possible while you are away!
“Nichole was amazing! She was able to coax out our shy little girl and even got her to purr! Sophie has never come out of hiding before with any previous caregiver. I am very impressed with the level of care our Sophie received. I trust Nichole with our cat and our home. Thank you.”
About: While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve always enjoyed being around them and have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats through pet sitting. Since 2020, I’ve helped care for cats during overnight stays and visits, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and following each cat’s individual routine. I’ve also spent time around cats in multi-pet households, which has helped me become comfortable with different personalities—from social and playful to more independent or shy cats. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and respecting their boundaries, and I work to create a calm, stress-free environment while their owners are away.

“Ashlynn did an amazing job taking care of our pets while we were gone. I was so nervous about leaving them and having someone stop by because we have never done it this way before, but she showed up on time for every drop in and she made our animals feel loved while we were gone. She communicated with us very effectively as well. We left for 4 days and when we returned there were no messes to clean up and our pets were so happy to see us, but acted like they were shown plenty of love while we were gone. She made sure to show each of them affection and attention on every visit. And, that says a lot considering we have 3 cats and a dog she was tending to. We will definitely rebook with her in the future and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to make sure their fur babies have the best care!”
“Robyn was a great cat sitter! My shy kitty warmed up to her almost immediately. I found everything in order when I got home and a happy cat! Robyn was flexible when I had to change days and number of pets. I’d recommend her but I want to keep her available for me! 😂”

I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.
“This was my first time using Rover.com and I could not have been more pleased with the service or our sitter, Theresa. Charlie is currently undergoing medical treatment for a condition which required someone with experience. Theresa's knowledge was spot-on and I left our dog confident he was in excellent hands. It's obvious Theresa was a huge hit with Charlie because upon our return, he was slightly disappointed it was not his new friend walking through the door!”

“Carri is just amazing! She was very understanding of my anxious dog with separation anxiety and made dropping him off a breeze. Would def recommend and will rebook again in the future. She even sent my Hershey home with a mini dog care bag. She goes above and beyond and you can really tell that she cares for the dogs.”

Groomong and boarding is what I do full time and I'm home almost all the time so your babies will always be looked after and have me around them watching over them. I have fenced in yard and have separate kennels for each Pet so everyone will be separated unless owners are ok with them interacting with my own personal dogs who are very friendly.
About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!

About: 🐐 The Pet & Farm Nanny: Constant Care & Custom Visits 🐾 Hi y’all! I’m Ariel. I offer a unique "Nanny" experience for your pets, whether they are staying with me or in the comfort of their own home. I recently moved to Lebanon and love providing the reliable, heart-centered care that every animal deserves—from senior dogs needing meds to hobby farms needing a helping hand. How I can help: • At My Home (The "Workday" Companion): Since I work from home (10 AM – 7 PM), your pet will never be alone! I offer a cozy, attentive environment in my apartment for smaller dogs or cats who love constant human company. • At Your Home (Mornings & Weekends): I am available for early morning walks, drop-in feedings, and farm chores (milking goats, feeding horses, collecting eggs). I also offer Overnight House Sitting on weekends to keep your pets in their familiar routine! • Specialized Care: I am fully comfortable with senior pet care and administering oral medications. My Commitment to You: I stay within a 15-20 mile radius of Lebanon to ensure I’m always close by. You can expect high-quality communication, plenty of photo updates, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing a "Nanny" is looking after your family. Note: Due to my apartment setting, I am unable to offer puppy training/boarding, but I’m a pro at cuddles and routine! As a project coordinator working from home (10 AM – 7 PM), I’m the ultimate full-time companion! Your pet will have my company all day long while I’m at my desk. For house calls, walks, and farm chores, I’m an early bird and a weekend warrior! I’m available for drop-ins and farm visits before 9:30 AM or after 7:30 PM on weekdays, with completely open availability on Saturdays and Sundays for longer visits or weekend house-sitting. Safety is my top priority! When pets stay with me in my apartment, they enjoy a calm, pet-proofed environment with plenty of cozy spots to nap near my workspace. I’m a pro at maintaining strict routines, whether that’s a specific feeding schedule or administering essential medications for senior pets. I am an avid walker, so if your pup is with me, we will get plenty of exercise. When I’m at your home or farm, I’m hyper-vigilant about double-checking gate latches, ensuring fresh water troughs are full, and keeping a 'Nanny’s eye' on everything to make sure your home is as secure as your pets are happy!

“Loved all the photos. Cyndie was super responsive. My pup had a great time. It was my first time using Rover and was a little nervous but Cyndie and her family were terrific. I would definitely rebook with her.”
About: I’ve always loved animals, (especially cats, I’m a huge cat person), so I’ve had at least one or two ever since I was little, and throughout the years I’ve learned how to take care of them. I’ve also owned a few dogs here and there, including a chihuahua. (I have more experience with small dogs.) As of now, I am completely free all Monday through Sunday, so feel free to book me anytime. I do go to church on Sundays around 10:30 to 1 so anything after that is fine. I can take care of animals indoors. I have an animal gate to help prevent them from going upstairs and having access to the stairs.
About: I’ve had many pets trough out my life. Dogs with a variety of sizes, cats, turtles, squirrels, bunnies, and Guinea pigs. I’ve had to take care of newborn pups and have my aunt who is a vet.

About: I've taken care of animals starting from a young age. I love animals and enjoy having them around and caring for them. Animals are a significant part of my everyday life. I spend my time home caring for my dog and children. It's a very important part of each day. Between feeding them each meal to walking them and playing with them, they're heavily integrated into our lives. I have a friendly dog who loves to play. I also have two children who love animals but are also good with boundaries considering these pets will be in an unfamiliar environment. I personally care for each pet that comes into my home, but my children will be present.

“Catherine was great! Communicated really well. Not only did she accept with less than 24hrs notice but was also incredibly flexible when I shifted my pick up time several times.”
“Hayley was amazing, she saved my night with my family when I needed care super last minute. XO came home happy and tired which is always a great thing. If I bring XO to Nashville again I'll definitely reach out to Hayley.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, and I’ve owned pets my entire life. I also worked at Dolly Parton’s Stampede, where I cared for and worked around horses and other animals daily, giving me hands-on experience in a professional animal care environment. In addition, I have experience as a veterinary technician, where I assisted with handling animals, monitoring their health, administering medications under veterinary supervision, and helping keep pets comfortable during visits. I’ve also studied animal health and care through school, which has given me a strong understanding of pet behavior, safety, and basic medical needs. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work for myself, which allows me to create a flexible schedule and provide reliable pet care throughout the week. Because I have control over my hours, I can often accommodate last-minute requests, extended visits, and consistent routines. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible by providing dependable, compassionate care and keeping you updated every step of the way. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With experience as a veterinary technician and years of working with animals, I know how to recognize changes in behavior, safely administer medications if needed, and provide calm, compassionate care. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, you can expect plenty of love, attention, exercise, and photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.
About: Hi, I'm Kelly! If you're anything like me, your dogs aren't just pets—they're family. I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, whether you're heading to work for the day or taking a much-needed vacation. The worry about whether they're comfortable, happy, and being cared for the way you would care for them yourself is something I completely understand. Dogs & cats have been a part of my life - forever, and caring for them has always been one of my greatest joys. While Rottweilers hold a special place in my heart, I have raised and trained them for more than 25 years - I've also had the privilege of loving and raising Dachshunds, West Highland White Terriers, and German Shepherds. I truly believe that dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and secure. Just like people, they find comfort in familiar routines and consistency. When I'm caring for your pet, I do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible, so they can relax while you're away. I’m currently a stay at home Mom. My husband and I have two children (4 years & 5 years old) and two beloved Rottweilers, Beau and Abby. Beau is our big, goofy 120-pound boy with a confident but gentle nature, and Abby is our calm and steady six-year-old girl who seems to have an old soul. We recently lost our senior dachshund Marvin. Years ago, I spent time involved in competitive obedience training and earned therapy certifications with my big dogs. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for canine behavior, communication, and the importance of building trust and understanding with our dogs. More than anything, they taught me that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. I am a Christian, and my faith influences how I care for others—both people and their pets. When you're trusting me with your dog and your home, I understand what a responsibility that is. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love, attention, and compassion. Our property is designed to give your pup a fun, safe, and relaxing vacation while you're away. We have a fully fenced backyard on just under an acre, providing plenty of room to run, play, explore, and soak up the sunshine. For dogs who love the water, we have an in-ground swimming pool, and they're welcome to swim under supervision. We even provide doggie life jackets so they can enjoy the pool safely. Your dog's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. All meals are served separately to ensure a calm, stress-free dining experience, and I use brief crate rotations when needed to give each guest quiet time or individualized attention. At bedtime, non-destructive pups are welcome to curl up on a cozy queen-size bed in our guest suite. For dogs who find comfort in background noise, I can leave the TV on to help them relax and feel at home. Each day is filled with personalized attention, games of fetch, outdoor play, cuddles, and plenty of enrichment. On warm days, our guests even enjoy dog-friendly ice cream as a special treat! My goal is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back for their next vacation. Here, your pup isn't just being watched—they're treated like family and spoiled with love every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. My life is dedicated to raising my children, and pet sitting allows me to earn a little extra income while doing something I truly love. I strongly believe in routine and structure. As a former teacher, I enjoy keeping things organized and providing a consistent, comfortable environment for everyone in my care. Before caring for your pet, I'll ask plenty of questions about their daily routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they're with us. We have a spacious home with a split floor plan, which allows us to easily accommodate different dogs. If your pet is staying overnight, we can separate dogs when needed, rotate playtime, or allow them to socialize together, depending on their personalities and comfort levels. My dogs do well with other dogs of various sizes, and I always prioritize safe, supervised interactions. We have a fenced yard with a pool. My goal is to provide each pet with the right balance of rest, play, exercise, and socialization so they feel at home while you're away.

About: I come from a farming background, and have cared for dogs and cats in a variety of environments. I worked as a livestock manager for farming operations a total of 5+ years, besides having owned and raised many of my own pets since I was a kid. I have often volunteered to pet sit for friends and relatives, including both dogs and cats. I can handle all basic daily needs, feeding, walking, monitoring, and even administer medications if required. I am on a seasonal break for the holidays, and looking to supplement my income. I can visit daily within a reasonable distance, or stay overnights when required. Aside from some dates I will block out around Christmas, I have open availability! I will come to you for pet care. Cats will be fed according to their schedule, litter cleaned daily. Dogs will be walked at or near feeding times, and let out for potty breaks as needed throughout the day. Lots of love given at all times! If there are other medical needs I will need details of their care when setting up an appointment.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for over 18 years, and it’s truly something I love doing. Throughout that time, I’ve had the opportunity to care for puppies, senior dogs, and every age and personality in between. From daily walks and feeding schedules to bathing, playtime, and overnight care, I’ve worked with dogs in a variety of settings and understand that each one has unique needs. I’m also a dog parent myself. My 8-year-old rescue pup has taught me so much about patience, trust, and helping a dog feel safe and loved. Supporting her as she healed from past trauma has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced my belief that every pet deserves compassionate and individualized care. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you’re away, or someone to keep up with their daily routine, I will care for them with the same love that I give my own. I currently work full-time remotely in the Lebanon area, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be available throughout the day for pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m often able to accommodate a variety of schedules. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide consistent, attentive care while keeping their routine as normal as possible. Feel free to reach out with your specific needs, and I’ll do my best to find a schedule that works for both of us. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel at home. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone who will care for them as their own. My 8-year-old rescue pup helps make our home a welcoming place for visiting dogs. Whether they want to play, explore, lounge on the couch, or simply enjoy the company of another dog, she’s great at meeting them where they are. Together, we create an environment where dogs can feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: I am an absolute dog lover! I recently lost my pit bull Ruby from old age a couple of months ago so I’ve started going over to my sister’s apartment to let her black lab Charlie out to walk everyday! And, it’s helping me not miss my baby as much! I am so loving towards dogs and treat them with the utmost care:) I have had rocky who was a chow mixed with golden retriever and he passed away at 20 from old age. He was my best friend I got when I was 2. Then when my grandpa passed away I got Ruby who was a pit bull and she was my best friend who passed away from old age and a tumor at 18. I loved on them everyday, walked them daily, played with them daily, and the occasional pup cups were necessary. Every dog that comes in my path absolutely loves me and I love them too. They really are angels for us to have on this earth. I am trying I find a way to pay off student debt flexibly with my schedule of music ministering at prisons, high schools, addiction facilities, and leading worship at youth services. I am very intuitive of pets when they are around me so Im able to make sure they are happy and safe. I love giving them love on top of love. I also am very careful with older dogs or dogs with disability and treat them with the upmost patience and gentleness they deserve.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and have provided pet sitting services for family and friends since 2020. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand the importance of maintaining routines, recognizing behavioral cues, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for every dog. I currently care for my own dog, Tessa, and have experience with dogs of varying ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My hands-on experience includes caring for large and independent breeds such as German Shepherd/Akita mixes and Shiba Inus. Through regular pet sitting, I’ve become comfortable managing multi-dog households, administering feeding schedules, reinforcing established training routines, and providing enrichment through play, walks, and positive interactions. I’ve also lived with multiple dogs throughout college, giving me extensive experience adapting to different personalities, obedience levels, and exercise needs. I have experience supporting basic training, including house training, crate training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement techniques. Whether your dog is highly active, prefers a slower pace, or needs consistency with an existing routine, I strive to provide dependable care that helps pets feel secure while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life. As a lifelong dog owner and experienced pet sitter, I’m used to planning my routine around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m currently a student in a Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) program, which has strengthened my time management skills and attention to detail. I have clinical rotations on Mondays and Tuesdays and classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8–10 a.m., so I’m generally available most afternoons, evenings, Fridays, and many weekends with advance notice. I only accept bookings that fit comfortably within my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, crate routines, and any training cues or household rules. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and collars before going outside and make sure pets are supervised during playtime and interactions with other animals. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take time to build trust at their pace—whether they need extra playtime, a calm environment, or a little extra patience. As an MLT student, I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and committed to providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve had many dogs including a new addition to our family named spazz. I’m very dependable and a hard worker. I love making your animal feel loved while you aren’t home! I’m an online college student and I can work around my schedule. My weekly routine consists of schoolwork and taking care of my own dog. I will follow the instructions that the client has in place for their pet. Other than that I will give them lots of love and pets if they allow me!
About: My life’s passion is animals. I started my first career as a vet tech and gained so much knowledge and training to care for not only my personal animals but those of others. Through that job I started to focus on rescue and training. I currently am a dog mom to 3 rescue dogs and a foster who is most likely going to be a foster fail. There is no breed of dog that I do not love! I also have 3 rescue horses. I am experienced in feeding/medicating/animal behavior/training/walking/bathing/nail trimming and cuddles for all sorts of animals from fish,birds,guniea pigs,cats, dogs and horses. I know the importance of making sure your pets life is as stress free as possible when looking for pet care. I would love to be able to help. I’m available for morning and late-evening drop-ins during the week, and my schedule is more flexible on weekends if you need a midday visit. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help make your pet’s day a little brighter whenever you need an extra hand! I don’t offer services in my personal home, but I’m dedicated to keeping the safe, familiar environment you’ve created for your pet exactly the way they love it. I follow your routines, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and small pets. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs special care, I take the time to understand their personality and make them feel safe and loved. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Let me give your pet the care and attention they deserve while you’re gone! I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I can usually fit in morning and evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust where I can to fit your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, structure, and attention. I take time to learn each animal’s routine, dietary needs, and quirks so they feel safe and understood. In your home, I always treat your space with respect—keeping things clean and sticking to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. I provide regular check-ins, photos, and updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s a dog who needs long walks or a shy cat who prefers a quiet spot, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way.

“I like bringing Sidekick here because I can tell she has a great time. She gets plenty of time to play outdoors and plenty of care and attention from Alyssa and her family. Coordinating drop off/pick up is easy too.”
“I can't tell you how happy we are to have found Carri on Rover! Our shy, nervous rescue loved his experience with Carri! He was so well taken care of and had a blast. Carri sent pictures and videos and gave us updates on how he was doing. We were so impressed. My husband and I kept saying, "it was like our dog was at summer camp". We had such peace of mind knowing he was with her, that we were able to completely enjoy our vacation! We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Tyler was awesome. He has a great place and I could tell my dog would be well taken care of. My puppy greeted him like a long lost owner, I was a little worried he wouldn’t want to come back home with me. Lol. I was given photos and updates and I honestly just did not worry one bit the entire time Tyler had my pup. I am relieved that there is a trusted person to leave my pup with in the future should I need a dog sitter again.”

“Ariel was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog, Patches! From the very first time we met her, she made us feel comfortable and confident that Patches would be in great hands. She took the time to ask questions about his needs and routine, and she was happy to answer all of ours as well. When we dropped Patches off, he was immediately comfortable and seemed right at home. Throughout his stay, Ariel kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Ariel genuinely cared for Patches and treated him like one of her own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a five-star dog sitter on Rover, Ariel is the one! We highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Patches again.”

“It has been such a pleasure and a relief to have left our girl with Kaitlyn and her family. The first time we left her with someone, it was such a sketchy experience that we weren’t sure we’d ever use Rover again. She was covered in fleas and she seemed to develop a bad habit or two. But now our faith has been restored! We got updates with pictures every day, she was clean and had playmates to keep her happy and busy too. I really hope we’re able to come back here if ever we need to ☺️.”
“Shiloh was so good to us and our pup. She went above and beyond with caring for him and making him feel at home while we were away. He had an incident with a groomer before his stay and she was SO helpful with administering his medicine. Highly recommend!!”
“Shannon and Barbara took wonderful care of my dog, Bunny. I could not be more grateful and impressed. They had wonderful response times and answered any questions I had since it was my first time leaving Bunny with someone outside of family. They updated me frequently and made this whole process a dream. Definitely planning on rebooting with them in the future!”
“Patti and family gave our Tenby much love and care while we were away on family business. She was able to extend his stay when we were suddenly required out of town longer than we thought. Patti kept us updated with photos and reassurance that all was fine. Thank you Patti for helping us when we needed it most!”
“In addition to taking phenomenal care of my pup, Brandon was a great communicator and listener. He was very thorough and reported/documented my dog’s stay with him extensively. He and his wife truly love animals which definitely gives peace of mind. I would recommend Brandon to anyone needing to board their dog!! His backyard is perfect even for the most rambunctious dogs. Considering I have a one year old husky pup who was returned to me thoroughly exhausted and happy, He will take great care of your energetic pup!”
“It didn’t take 30 seconds of meeting Regina to know that Murphy was going to be in good hands. We loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would 100% use Regina’s services again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous, my girl is my whole world. Brynn was just absolutely amazing! We did a meet and greet first which was great, and then Kimura really had the best time during her stay! I can’t say enough good things. I got regular updates, and I truly felt my girl was being really cared for. I’m so grateful she had such a smooth and great time. :) definitely recommend!!”
“This was the first time I let my dog stay overnight with anyone. Ashlie did a fantastic job of keeping me informed of how he was doing and took great care of him. I could tell he was really at ease and enjoyed his time with her and her family.”
“These guys are the real deal! Dogs are truly their passion! They’re attentive to the individual needs of every dog they accommodate. My dog has special emotional needs (due to past abuse) and they literally catered to his specific needs. They even regularly sent pictures and videos of his daily activities. I highly recommend them to everyone who truly loves their pets (family). Best boarders in the area by far!”
