Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rome
“Carri is a wonderful and loving sitter. She treated our dog like he was her own. She kept us informed daily and provided pictures. He loved staying with her. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Alyssa & family we’re amazing!! They cared for our doggo like he was their own. They sent daily pics, videos & updates while we were away on vacation! We will definitely call on again!”
“Tyler was incredibly quick to respond, provided frequent updates and pictures, along with descriptions of the dog’s interactions. Our Dalmatian is socially anxious and does not typically do well away from us. With Tyler, she was well taken care of and given all the cuddles she demanded. Our Lab was entertained and loved on, just as he likes.”
“Joey and Erin are incredible—not your ordinary dog sitters. They are both truly professionals and I would go so far as to say they are the closest to being a dog whisperer that I’ve ever known! I was so astounded by the interaction they each had with my girl at the initial meet and greet and the immediate understanding of my dog’s needs. I had no reservations about leaving her when I left town. Both of them have so much insight and experience and show them lots of love. You can tell! It was obvious that my girl had received plenty of affection and care when I picked her up. I would never hesitate to leave her in their care in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Misty and her home were both fantastic for my somewhat timid dog Ramsey! Misty kept me updated throughout the Ramsey’s stay and included photos showing how my pup was doing. At the end of Ramsey’s stay, I picked up a relaxed and happy dog! We will be going back to Misty next time Tamsey needs to be boarded!”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Sandy was incredibly communicative, kind, and thoughtful. She helps with med administration and sent many pictures. My dog clearly enjoyed being with her and playing with her two cats. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Haley is a very sweet and responsive host. We got updates throughout our trip and she worked well with us when our flight was delayed. The dogs were well cared for!”
About: I’m a dog guy and have owned dogs my entire life. Large dogs like labs, golden retrievers, German Shepherd’s to smaller breeds like doodles, Jack Russell’s and a doxin. I currently own 3 labs and lost a beautiful GSD a few months ago. I’m a realtor. I come and go a lot. I feed am and/or pm and the dogs have fresh water 24/7. My dogs roam my property during the day so the larger boarding dogs will have plenty of space in the dog yard (or in their run). I built a great dog area on my property, including a fenced 5000sf dog yard, dry runs and heated and cooled sleeping/resting areas. Small, crate trained dogs are welcome to stay in my house. Larger dogs will stay in the dog area referenced above. My neighbor is also a groomer. We can coordinated grooming if you are interested in her services.
About: I have been grooming for 14 years and offer boarding. I offer one on one services for all pets. Contact for appointments to book for grooming or boarding. 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.
“It was our first time leaving our dog Truffle with Scott. Scott and his son took very good care of Truffle. He was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly. We could see Truffle being very comfortable in his home.”
“Hank had another great stay! Also very accommodating for pick up and met me with Hank on their way to lunch. Hank also ran to their door at drop off, which is always a good sign. I will continue to use Brandon; he is great!”
“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”

“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.”
“Wonderful experience! Adalyn took great care of my two cats, kept me updated, and clearly treated them with care and attention. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space. Would absolutely book again.”
“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.”

“Nicole is amazing! I felt very comfortable having her watch our two cats while we were away for a week. Her notes were very detailed and she sent lots of pictures- which I loved because I hate being away from my furr babes. Definitely recommend her and will absolutely ask her to watch them again in the future! 😊”
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.
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!
“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! 😂”
“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!”
About: I was 7 yrs old when I got my first dog...had her until I was 22yrs old. Been around dogs most of my life....had several and I have also foster for the humane society. I'm available most anytime.... I do work full-time outside of the home. I enjoy meeting new fur babies and owners. I live in lebanon tn. I would sit in your home. I will follow whatever your schedule is for your fur baby and give them plenty of love. Thanks for looking.
“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!”

“Charity was wonderful and available the same day as booking. We really appreciated the last minute booking! Molloy seemed to love it there playing with the other pups”
“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.”

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!

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 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.

I have a large fenced in backyard which allows for some great outdoor play time. I like to walk a lot myself which means more walks for your pup as well! I am very flexible and will do my best at keeping your dog's routine. The more details I have on the front end the better to allow me to watch your pup. Dogs have always been a passion of mine. I look forward to working with you and your pup. I love having return customers as well! I currently work from home part time which allows me to give your pup my full attention throughout the day. I have a very flexible schedule. I have a nice size house with a big backyard. I have one dog, But I can easily keep them separated if need be. I have 2 large crates. For the most part your dog will be allowed to wander throughout the house, jump up on the couch, hang out and watch TV or play with some toys.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable and have no worries leaving your pets with me. Please let me know how I can care for your precious fur babies! I am a stay at home mom to 2 children (5 and 9). I have a lot of extra time on my hands and I love to put that time into doing something I love…caring for your pets! ❤️ My availability is open for the most part and as long as I have a few days notice I am good to go. I would be delighted to watch your animals! 🥰 I have a fenced in backyard with room to run and 2 friendly and easygoing dogs to keep your pups company! (Golden retriever and Labrador retriever) 🐶 Me and my family will treat your pets with the utmost respect and give them the best care possible. I do have the option to crate my dogs or your animals if needed. We live in a safe neighborhood that we can walk your pet in if that’s what they prefer.

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.
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: My entire life I have been raised around large breed dogs, cats, and fish. I am also familiar with reptile, monkey, equestrian, farm animal, and small mammal care. Such as cleaning pens, feedings, cleaning tanks, ear canal cleanings, nail trimming, bathing, and deshedding! The personal pets you see listed on my profile are 100% accurate as well, most people find it shocking but I’ve always been raised around an entire pack of animals and they are all in the best health with the most love we could possibly surround them with! I am completely available to watch your animals! I am hoping to make this a full time job, so please book me for your long trips, and daily walks! I can ensure that I will leave your house cleaner than when I arrived. My parents run 5 AirBnB cabins, and I am the housekeeper for the guests to ensure sanitary sheets, towels, and plates/dishes are provided. As well as a well kept, and clean living environment while they enjoy our stay with us! I was previously a school custodian for South Warren Middle School in Bowling Green, KY, so cleaning was a daily job for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. Now I hope to love on animals and make sure that THEY stay in a sanitary and clean environment.
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: Hi! I worked at a local vet office for 2 years helping with boarding, care while in room, walking dogs and providing love and care. I have also owned a dog or dogs since I was 10. I adore animals and will treat your family’s sweet pet as my own. I currently work from home and have flexible availability to come and go to better assist families. I am available at all hours that are needed. My current pet, Jack, is walked multiple times daily. We only crate when we leave. I am offering dog walking services. I am aware on how to safely walk dogs in their familiar areas. I am aware of how to harness and walk dogs of all sizes and safely return to the home. If the family has preferences for crating or putting away in certain rooms, I will follow directives on how properly place your loved animal away safely until you return home.
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: Hi there. My name is Robyn and I am an animal loving, responsible sitter who would love to help you out with your pets! I have been a dog owner for 18 years as well as a dog foster Mom and a cat owner in the past. I even had a chicken for a couple of years whom I loved dearly and was the neighborhood mascot.:) I know what it is like to have to find loving, responsible caregivers for your pets, as I have used this service for years for my pups. I can come to your house for drop-in visits, walks or overnight stays. I’m happy to help you out with your fur babies wherever I can! Please ask me any questions you might have. I am currently working a job where I make my own schedule, so that makes it very easy to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a 4 yr old boxer and she usually comes along with me for in home stays. She gets along well with all other animals and has made lots of furry friends along the way. I’ve been very lucky to have some wonderful repeat customers and I love seeing the dogs reunite (with the ones who have stayed with myself and my dogs) as they are always fast friends again. I look forward to meeting all the new dogs…and other animals!

About: Hi! I’m Nicole, I’ve had pets all my life and am a huge animal lover! I grew up with dogs and cats and now have two cats and two doggos of my own! My cats are very special as they are completely blind and I will argue that they are the cutest things ever! I am able to give inhalers, medications, and of course am very patient! Also, yes, I live in Lebanon, but I am often in the Nashville area often! Please message if you have any questions, I look fur-ward to working with you!

Let me know after booking if you need to cancel or modify! 😊 I do not have a fee for canceling!

I am very patient with them when they are learning new places and let them explore at their pace! I will let your pets take the time they need to warm up to me and be very careful with them!
About: I have been surrounded by pets - dogs, cats, horses, cows, birds, reptiles, and everything in between - my entire life! I joined 4H when I was 6 years old as a “clover bud” and have spent the past 10 years learning to care for and train horses, dogs, and goats. Outside of my own furry family, I have assisted my mother with her horse training and pet sitting business, and also started caring for my own homes & farms as soon as I could drive! I work part-time, I am available all day Mondays through Wednesdays, and until 3pm Thursdays to Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible, and can be available after work if needed. For the safety of your pets and our own dogs and other small pets, we do not currently offer any at home services. Hoping to in the future!

“Carri is a wonderful and loving sitter. She treated our dog like he was her own. She kept us informed daily and provided pictures. He loved staying with her. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Alyssa & family we’re amazing!! They cared for our doggo like he was their own. They sent daily pics, videos & updates while we were away on vacation! We will definitely call on again!”
“Tyler was incredibly quick to respond, provided frequent updates and pictures, along with descriptions of the dog’s interactions. Our Dalmatian is socially anxious and does not typically do well away from us. With Tyler, she was well taken care of and given all the cuddles she demanded. Our Lab was entertained and loved on, just as he likes.”
“Joey and Erin are incredible—not your ordinary dog sitters. They are both truly professionals and I would go so far as to say they are the closest to being a dog whisperer that I’ve ever known! I was so astounded by the interaction they each had with my girl at the initial meet and greet and the immediate understanding of my dog’s needs. I had no reservations about leaving her when I left town. Both of them have so much insight and experience and show them lots of love. You can tell! It was obvious that my girl had received plenty of affection and care when I picked her up. I would never hesitate to leave her in their care in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We have nothing but great things to say about Kaitlyn! She was very easy to communicate with and took many adorable pictures of our pups during their stay. We got daily updates on their progress which was so comforting our first time away from them for more than a day or two. Definitely recommend!!”
“Haley is a very sweet and responsive host. We got updates throughout our trip and she worked well with us when our flight was delayed. The dogs were well cared for!”
About: I’m a dog guy and have owned dogs my entire life. Large dogs like labs, golden retrievers, German Shepherd’s to smaller breeds like doodles, Jack Russell’s and a doxin. I currently own 3 labs and lost a beautiful GSD a few months ago. I’m a realtor. I come and go a lot. I feed am and/or pm and the dogs have fresh water 24/7. My dogs roam my property during the day so the larger boarding dogs will have plenty of space in the dog yard (or in their run). I built a great dog area on my property, including a fenced 5000sf dog yard, dry runs and heated and cooled sleeping/resting areas. Small, crate trained dogs are welcome to stay in my house. Larger dogs will stay in the dog area referenced above. My neighbor is also a groomer. We can coordinated grooming if you are interested in her services.
About: I have been grooming for 14 years and offer boarding. I offer one on one services for all pets. Contact for appointments to book for grooming or boarding. 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.
“Hank had another great stay! Also very accommodating for pick up and met me with Hank on their way to lunch. Hank also ran to their door at drop off, which is always a good sign. I will continue to use Brandon; he is great!”
“Melanie and James were fantastic with Jax! Jax made himself at home soon after my boyfriend and I left. Melanie and James are very personable people. We will definitely book with them again if/when the need arises.”
“We had a great experience leaving our dog here. It was obvious from the start that she was in good hands and being well cared for. We really appreciated the updates while we were away, and it was nice knowing she was getting plenty of attention and affection. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a good time. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but this made the whole process so much easier. We’d definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their dog.”
“Patti was so amazing with Nyla. First, Patti herself is such a sweet lady. Full of life and the biggest heart. I'm really picky with dogsitters and she blew all expectations out the water! She was flexible with meeting us, attentive to our care instructions, and flexible when our flight was delayed. She took amazing care of Nyla and even shared photos with us which helps me with peace of mind. Her children are so caring and loving of, I'm sure, all the dogs that Patti watches. It was hard for me to take Nyla home because her children really loved her. If you want peace of mind when someone is watching your dog, I HIGHLY recommend Patti. I cannot express how much we love Patti. And her kids!”

“Emily and her family did great with our dog. She asked detailed questions during drop off to make sure she was prepared for our dog's needs. Emily also sent updates and pictures frequently and was quick to reply when messaged her. Her house has a fenced yard with plenty of space for multiple dogs. Will recommend and book again in the future.”
“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!!”
