“Thank you so much for taking great care of my floofster!! He has been knocked out since we got home 😂😂 Thank you for the photos and updates all weekend!!! I will definitely use you again in the future and recommend you to everyone!!!”
“Andrea and her family were great. My dog loved his stay there! I rebooked with Andrea and as soon as we pulled up to the house he got excited and ran straight up to the door and inside. He's very comfortable there which helped put my mind at ease going forward. 5/5”
“Amy did an amazing job with my two goldendoodles. She kept us updated daily, and sometimes more than daily. Our pups seemed happy and content when we picked them up. Amy is reliable and responsive; herself and her family are true dog lovers. Will definitely book in the future!”
“I loved using Wendy, she was wonderful and I needed a last minute sitter and she was available, she loved on our Tucker as her own and sent lots of photos of him having a wonderful time with her family! I would def use her again :-)”
“Leon and his family took great care of our pup while we were away for 10 days. He sent us lots of great photo updates, and she settled right in. She was happy and healthy when we returned, we highly recommend Leon to take great care of your pets and love them as his own.”
“Angela is the perfect dog Grandmother!! She will love on your dogs like they are her on. She keeps you updated with pictures and videos. I highly recommend and will definitely be using her again.”
“Great experience boarding my dog Honey at Anchors Art Pet Resort. The staff was attentive, caring, and kept me updated with pictures during her stay. It made me feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Our fur-baby, Shamrock, immediately felt comfortable with Angelo. When we dropped Shamrock off, we were expecting him to not want to go. However, he was comfortable with Angelo right away. I am a firm believer that dogs know which humans are good ones. Angelo also sent us a daily picture, which we truly appreciated.”
“Roland truly went above and beyond our expectations. For nine days, he cared for Angel and Lady as if they were his own, and their happy, healthy appearance clearly reflected his dedication. His daily photos and updates eased my worries, making me feel confident they were in good hands. Angel and Lady have definitely found a second home with Roland! We sincerely thank you, Roland—-your service is outstanding! May you continue to be a blessing to others as you have been to us.”
“Michelle was amazing. It was only the second time that we have boarded our dog and he was so well taken care of. Michelle sent photos and updates twice a day and our boy was relaxed and happy. She has a welcoming home for dogs and a lovely back yard for outside time. We would definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“She was so wonderful! I have two yorkies and one is scared of his own shadow. He also comes with “issues”. She was very knowledgeable and they left very happy. They were there a week and received lots of love. Will use her again!”
“Dana is amazing. Scooter had a great time. They were very attentive and sent me lots of pictures. She also understood and worked around my busy work schedule. I give her 5 stars!”
“Caring and attentive, she knows the right questions to ask and will give the upmost care to your dog. She gave updates and communicates clearly. Your dog will be happy and smiling as well, thank you!!”
“Penny was Well Cared for, Happy and Content while staying with Brandon and his family. Stayed in communication at all times. She also had a buddy to play with that was her size. A perfect fit! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby..... T”
“Caity was fantastic! She provided daily status updates with pics which kept the separation anxiety at bay. Caity made sure that all of Robbies needs were taken care of and that he felt safe. Much appreciated. Great location and atmosphere for the dogs to play inside and out. Highly recommend!”
“Benji LOVED staying with Thi and Jace! From the meet and greet, my pup felt comfortable with the two of them (and he usually takes a while to warm up). He seemed to get a lot of love and attention throughout his stay - cuddling and playing inside and outside walking/playing at the park. They sent me tons of quality photos/videos at 3 times throughout the day, which I made me feel good and confirmed how great of a time Benji was having. They are also very responsible - Thi thoroughly reviewed instructions and asked my permission to take Benji to her dad's house so he could enjoy a large backyard. Their home is a nice, clean, cozy apartment, and they have a few very fuzzy large dog beds that Benji liked. I would recommend 100%! Thank you!”
“Christy was wonderful with our dog! She sent regular updates and pictures and kept us informed about how she was doing. We will definitely be booking with Christy again!”
“Maevry's Vacation Was Better Than Ours! We are so grateful to Ashley for taking such wonderful care of Maevry during her 5-day stay. It was the perfect environment for her—she got to enjoy endless play time in their beautiful, large yard. We were also delighted to hear that she was given healthy treats; it's the little details like that which make the difference. The ultimate compliment we can give is that Maevry truly did not want to come home. We haven't stopped saying positive things about Ashley and plan on being repeat clients for sure!”
“Max got attached to Ms Heather during his stay, which is exactly what we hoped to see. He was happy to be home but in great spirits. So nice to have a safe and friendly environment to leave him in while out of town.”
“Mariah has been incredible. I have to travel a lot for work and I feel so comfortable leaving my Baxter with her. I’m so grateful for her lovely disposition and patience with Baxter. I will continue to utilize her services for as long as possible.”

“Kristen did a wonderful job checking in on our kitties and sugar gliders. I had a mix up on the dates and didnt realize until we we were already out of the state. She was able to accommodate us and make sure our pets were not left alone. She made sure to take pictures and let us know if anything was amiss. We are so thankful we had her as a sitter and recommend her to anyone looking :)”
About: Cats are very special to me. I grew up with two, both of which senior cats now (16 & 11), who have taught me the ins and outs of respecting boundaries, showing affection, and mutual respect. My first priority as a caretaker is to ensure your cat is comfortable and feels safe while you are away. I have cared for many cats, from early kittens to senior citizens. I am comfortable giving oral medicines. I even may be able to teach them a trick or two! Every kitty is given the same love and care I would give my own. I am a part-time tutor with significant availability, giving you flexibility when needed. I am able to drop in or stay overnight as requested in advance. I am able to adjust to the needs of you and your cat(s). All items in home will be treated respectfully and kept maintained as they were upon arrival.
“Norma was prompt everyday, she took care of our cat. Sent photos in addition of making sure he had fresh food and water and a cleaned the litter. Our flight got cancelled and I had to add an extra day, Norma was flexible and we were able to add an extra day. That gave us a peace of mind. We really appreciate it.”
“Paige is a very nice person and so is her husband. From what I have experienced, she truly does love taking care of animals. My little lady took to her right away. I initially had hired Paige to house/pet sit for me but unfortunately had to cancel and she was very understanding and accommodating, which I really appreciated. I was also impressed with how prepared she was to ask all the right questions to prepare for the job. I have used her since and was nice to feel comfortable leaving my girl in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Spectacular service! I just moved here but had to go back to California for a funeral. Was beginning to despair about finding someone to feed and give insulin to the cats. So so grateful Madeline cheerfully agreed on such short notice to drive from out of my area and then kept in touch with me by phone while I was gone and concerned about the feedings. Furthermore the code did not work at the auto gate to the complex so she parked outside and used the pedestrian one both times. She was very patient to make sure Tyson got fed even though he was hiding both times. I can't thank her enough for her service and will use her again!”
“Wendy was fantastic! I highly recommend her. She was very communicative and followed our detailed instructions perfectly. Our cat is sick right now and just diagnosed with a disorder. She gave his meds manually and fed him, checked/ operated a litter robot litter box and a wifi wet food feeder. She also picked up loose poops he has because he is so sick. Ollie seemed to really like her during the consults and on visits! We got lists of photos and a detailed daily report. We have a couple other visits already lined up with her!”
“We used Rover for the first time and we were definitely skeptical at first. However, we got very lucky with Molly. She always kept us informed about everything and was asking questions so she could make sure she was doing everything as well as possible. It was very clear she truly cared about our cats and was willing to do whatever was needed. We would definitely choose her in the future and recommend her to others. (she also took great pictures)”
“Alexis was amazing!!! She stayed in contact the whole week and gave me so many updates about Helix. She sent lots of photos, and I could tell he liked having her visit. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I have had pets my whole life ranging from cats to birds to fish. I also love dogs and so does my 9 year old daughter and my husband. I have cared for family members, neighbors and friends animals (cats and dogs) for many years. My cat is 19 years old and I have also had to say goodbye to my baby, Daphnie who I had from the time she was a baby until she passed away, and my other baby Willow, who we rescued when we lived in Hawaii and was a part of our family for about 10 years. I am therefore familiar with senior care for animals. I’ve administered oral, topical and iv meds (yes I did that home with one of my cats near the end of her life). I love to walk and run and have always enjoyed taking dogs for a walk when I’ve cared for the pets of others. I have even cared for a few rowdy young dogs that were still in puppy training school. I have been pet sitting on River for about 3 years. I’ve done many drop in visits, boarding and dog walks for my clients. I am currently a home maker so I have a flexible schedule to care for your babies. Most weeks I am able to do mornings, mid day and evenings I have a fenced in yard. I have one cat, who has been around dogs, lived with a dog and is used to the occasional dog being boarded in our home. He is fine with dogs as long as the dogs are calm towards him. I would not be able to host in my home any very young dogs that may want to “play” with my cat as he is older and also has no interest in being friends with a dog. He is very non-aggressive and tends to mostly avoid them whenever I board.

During the summer, we are flexible and home during the day. I have medium sized fenced in yard. I take morning and evening walks. There is a nice open field right by my house if a dog requires more exercise.

About: ***I did just have a baby so I may not be taking certain bookings for reasons such as distance, time, and whether the animal is friendly with children. Thank you!!*** Hi there! I'm Paige, and my passion for animals has been with me for as long as I can remember. I've always been the one to befriend any creature, big or small – yes, even bugs! Over the years, I've been entrusted with the care of friends' beloved pets, and I've relished getting to know each one's unique personality. My experience is extensive, having worked in two reputable kennels and a lively doggie daycare. On top of that, I have regularly volunteered at a local farm, so I'm no stranger to getting my hands dirty in the name of furry friends. When you choose me, you're not just getting a pet sitter – you're getting someone who will go the extra mile to understand and meet your pet's needs. Your furry family member will feel right at home with me. Let's create a pawsitive experience for your pet together! I am currently staying at home raising my baby boy and trying to achieve my other main goal in life, caring for animals full time. I hope to one day open a facility of my own, most of my time is fully open for rover opportunities. I currently have three wonderful pets in my life: Sonny, my dashing 5-year-old cat, Night my handsome 1 yr old cat, and Lucky my energetic 1yr old pup (🌈 Abby, my lovely 13-year-old dog🌈). Caring for them is a central part of my daily routine. I'm always on the lookout for the well-being of my fur babies, just as I would be for yours. I find joy in interactive playtime with my kitty and enjoy taking my dog on exciting adventures, including trips to the dog park, long walks, and even hikes! My approach to pet care varies depending on the setting. When it comes to walking dogs, whether it's in my home or at a client's place, I prefer taking leisurely strolls around the block. My top priority is ensuring the comfort and happiness of my furry companions, both at home and with clients. I'm committed to going the extra mile to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets, just as I do for my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and all temperaments since I’ve been 12 and I have 3 1/2 years of professional pet boarding experience on top of that, in addition to my certification as a Veterinary Technician Assistant. I’m comfortable with all dogs of all sizes and have a knack for senior care. I’m professional and detail oriented, and guaranteed to love your dog like my own. At the moment I am between jobs and looking to supplement my income by providing care for your pets and giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“If I could give Kassidy 10 stars I would!! I had my main caretaker back out and Kassidy was more than willing to update my services last minute so I didn’t have to cancel my vacation early! She was SO sweet and communicated SO much! I could tell my babies were loved on so much while I was gone! I would recommend her to anyone and she is the only person I will trust my animals with when i’m gone!?”
About: I’ve always cared well for my pets - most of which were dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, rats, mice, and when I was young this included whatever wild animals I snuck into the house - snakes, frogs, lizards, worms, ants, spiders, baby birds and bunnies and so on. I still remember my pet's names: Maggie, Romeo, Alice, TJ, Corky, Tommy, Bruce, Annie, Guy, Quito, Slinky, Tilly, Tikka, Raja, and Jet... and some of the wild ones, including "George Cooney" the baby raccoon. I'm also familiar with many different types of products and methods associated with the care of both domestic and wild animals. I spent six weeks volunteering at Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue in AZ. The work included things like cleaning kennels, holding and comforting rescue dogs during medical procedures, walking them, training them, bathing, feeding, and breaking down kennels. During this time I worked to rehabilitate a 95 lb blue pitty named Vinnie. The goal was for him to be a bit more gentle and easy to walk. He spent the first 2 years of his life pulling skateboarders. To him, a leash meant “pull hard.” His training involved daily sessions of at least 45 minutes for about six weeks. By the end he would reliably respond to “heel, sit, paw, down, come, and stay.” He could also lay down and stay put calmly for up to an hour, even off leash if need be. This is what I do for work, so I will try my best to be available whenever you need me to be. Wherever schedule conflicts arise, I try hard to be easy to work with. My pups don't use a crate but in the past I've had pups that preferred it. I let them choose as they grew up. For your pups, I will do as you ask, just as I have for every pet I've ever cared for that did not belong to me... Give me a list, and I will carefully follow your instructions while being a good caretaker, instructor, exerciser, and friend for them. My routines allow me to be flexible with my schedule, which makes it possible to provide for your pet’s needs at the time that’s most convenient for you and for them. I understand that different people and pets have different needs and will care for them the way in which I am instructed. I love the animals in my care and want to make sure they and you are comfortable with the way I’m doing things.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all ages and breeds since I was eight, including my own Labrador. I offer loving, attentive care, with special experience in senior pet attention. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their furry family members. I'm currently working part-time and attending school full-time. However, I'm very flexible and can easily plan time to play with your pups! For drop-in visits, I prioritize the dog's happiness and well-being. I ensure they receive the correct feeding and walking schedule, along with plenty of playtime. I also maintain a secure fenced yard and always use a leash and waste bags during walks.
About: I bring over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and a genuine love for it! 🤗 I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, and birds, and have spent many years caring for my pets, the pets of friends, and family. Cats and dogs are an extremely important part of my life and add so much joy.

“Andrea and her family were great. My dog loved his stay there! I rebooked with Andrea and as soon as we pulled up to the house he got excited and ran straight up to the door and inside. He's very comfortable there which helped put my mind at ease going forward. 5/5”
“Amy did an amazing job with my two goldendoodles. She kept us updated daily, and sometimes more than daily. Our pups seemed happy and content when we picked them up. Amy is reliable and responsive; herself and her family are true dog lovers. Will definitely book in the future!”
“I loved using Wendy, she was wonderful and I needed a last minute sitter and she was available, she loved on our Tucker as her own and sent lots of photos of him having a wonderful time with her family! I would def use her again :-)”
“Leon and his family took great care of our pup while we were away for 10 days. He sent us lots of great photo updates, and she settled right in. She was happy and healthy when we returned, we highly recommend Leon to take great care of your pets and love them as his own.”
“Great experience boarding my dog Honey at Anchors Art Pet Resort. The staff was attentive, caring, and kept me updated with pictures during her stay. It made me feel very comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Our fur-baby, Shamrock, immediately felt comfortable with Angelo. When we dropped Shamrock off, we were expecting him to not want to go. However, he was comfortable with Angelo right away. I am a firm believer that dogs know which humans are good ones. Angelo also sent us a daily picture, which we truly appreciated.”
“Roland truly went above and beyond our expectations. For nine days, he cared for Angel and Lady as if they were his own, and their happy, healthy appearance clearly reflected his dedication. His daily photos and updates eased my worries, making me feel confident they were in good hands. Angel and Lady have definitely found a second home with Roland! We sincerely thank you, Roland—-your service is outstanding! May you continue to be a blessing to others as you have been to us.”
“Penny was Well Cared for, Happy and Content while staying with Brandon and his family. Stayed in communication at all times. She also had a buddy to play with that was her size. A perfect fit! Thank you for taking such good care of our baby..... T”
“Benji LOVED staying with Thi and Jace! From the meet and greet, my pup felt comfortable with the two of them (and he usually takes a while to warm up). He seemed to get a lot of love and attention throughout his stay - cuddling and playing inside and outside walking/playing at the park. They sent me tons of quality photos/videos at 3 times throughout the day, which I made me feel good and confirmed how great of a time Benji was having. They are also very responsible - Thi thoroughly reviewed instructions and asked my permission to take Benji to her dad's house so he could enjoy a large backyard. Their home is a nice, clean, cozy apartment, and they have a few very fuzzy large dog beds that Benji liked. I would recommend 100%! Thank you!”
“Maevry's Vacation Was Better Than Ours! We are so grateful to Ashley for taking such wonderful care of Maevry during her 5-day stay. It was the perfect environment for her—she got to enjoy endless play time in their beautiful, large yard. We were also delighted to hear that she was given healthy treats; it's the little details like that which make the difference. The ultimate compliment we can give is that Maevry truly did not want to come home. We haven't stopped saying positive things about Ashley and plan on being repeat clients for sure!”
“Max got attached to Ms Heather during his stay, which is exactly what we hoped to see. He was happy to be home but in great spirits. So nice to have a safe and friendly environment to leave him in while out of town.”
“Mariah has been incredible. I have to travel a lot for work and I feel so comfortable leaving my Baxter with her. I’m so grateful for her lovely disposition and patience with Baxter. I will continue to utilize her services for as long as possible.”

“Keliann was amazing with Simba! Updating me through his stay was so comforting being that this was his first time with a sitter. Definitely will use in the future. Thank u Keliann!”
“Sammy had a great time at Karen’s! She is wonderful at keeping you up to date on what your dog is up to, and you never have to wonder how their stay is going! I will always use Karen in the future, as long as she continues to be up for dealing with Sammy’s playful, sometimes excessively high energy! Lol, I think Sammy will be sleeping for two days after his weekend at Karen’s house! Best sitter ever!”
