Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dawn
“Samara did an excellent job communicating and shared pictures which made us feel a lot more comfortable with leaving our dog. Her children are were sweet and played with him.”

“Maria and her family were incredibly welcoming and treated me like one of their own. My dog was in a safe, happy environment where he was well cared for, and I could tell he was loved during his stay. I highly recommend Maria for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She’s awesome!”

“AA+++ Kimberly is the real deal when it comes to pet sitting. We had travel plans over Christmas and needed someone to watch out 15+ year old Chihuahua. He had special needs, but Kimberly said no problem. She put our mind at ease with the first meeting. While we were gone she kept in contact and sent us pictures everyday. She loved on him like he was her own fur baby. Absolutely will use Kimberly again when the occasion arrives. Just can't say enough good things.”

“Carolyn, was a life saver. I booked her for 1 night stay as we were traveling. I didn’t want to leave my yorkie alone in the Airbnb for 12 hrs. We had a concert to attend 90 minutes away. I met her and immediately knew my yorkie would be in great company. I am so grateful for the care she gave my chewy.”


“Jennifer was awesome! So genuinely caring and kind. She took great care of my fur baby while hubby and I were away. She kept us updated with photos and videos throughout. I highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Cristian was awesome with our little guy. The pictures he sent showed how much Charlie enjoyed his time with him. Cristian said he’ll miss his little shadow. We will certainly use him again when we travel without Charlie.”

“She has done a great job making my usually extremely anxious dog comfortable and even able to play with her own dog. She was understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times, if something happened that I needed an earlier time for either.”


About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for many years. Before my current dog, Brinkley, I raised two Miniature Dachshunds from the time they were 6 weeks old until they passed away at ages 16 and 17. Caring for them through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with changing needs gave me extensive hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, medication routines, patience, and lots of love. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to Brinkley and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your pup and giving them the love and care they deserve! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already a dedicated dog mom to my own pup, Brinkley. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. Having cared for dogs for most of my adult life, I understand the importance of consistency and routine. Whether your pet needs an active walk, extra cuddle time, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I can provide reliable, loving care tailored to their needs. I treat every pet as part of the family and make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When your dog stays in my home, they will be treated like part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. As a lifelong dog owner and current dog mom to Brinkley, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“My babies had a great time! Denali was very attentive to them and they seem to be tuckered out when they came to us. We will definitely be making a future visit and I know they’re excited to do so! 😊”

“Michelle was great from the beginning. Willing to meet up so the dogs could meet prior to their stay Shay was so sweet and meet up was perfect. It was a long week without my “boys” but daily pictures and updates sure helped. 100% will use Michelle again!”

“Alison and her dog Lefty were wonderful hosts for my dog. She sent good updates with cute pictures, and they really made me feel like my dog was in good hands. Definitely plan on booking with her again!”

“Ashely and her husband were awesome. We had a fairly short notice trip come up and had not used them before. She was very quick to reply and accept the request. It was so great cause their house was on the way to our trip. Ashley sent several photos while we were gone to reassure us our furry pups were well taken care of and that they weren’t causing too much trouble. I would absolutely book with Ashley again. She even came home on her lunch break to meet me for the pickup on a weekday. Great puppy sitters and very good people. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Baylyn was very professional and ready at the drop-off agreed time. She Communicated with me throughout the weekend and even sent me pictures of my puppy.

“Berkley did an excellent job of taking care of my two cats over a 5 day period. They were well-cared for while I was out of town! She is reliable and enthusiastic. I recommend her.”

“We've booked Makalli several times and even had to change one schedule kind of midstream, and she's always so flexible! She's great about coming over and reacquainting pre-trip if it's been a while since the pets have seen her. And she's wonderful with our shy kitties. She's patient and gentle, giving them space without ignoring them. Also, I always receive pictures and updates on time. For this latest booking, Makalli went above and beyond her pet responsibilities, as we were out of town and someone toilet papered our house. She let us know, then picked up the tp from the yard without our even asking. We are so appreciative and grateful we found her here on Rover! :)”


“Christopher sat with our cat in our home and did a wonderful job! He took good care of our pet and our home as well. We will definitely be using him again in the future and highly recommend him for anyone’s fur baby.”

“Great dog walker, my dog fell in love the min she met him, he comes on time and checks in and he took great care of my dog. I will definitely request Malik again when I have to go out of town”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dawn

Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! 💛 I’m home most of the time, so your dog will get plenty of supervision, care, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day! I do work short 4–6 hour shifts on Sundays, but otherwise my schedule revolves around making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾💛 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first! 🐾 I provide a loving, clean, and stress-free environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day.

“This was only the second time Mini has ever been boarded and she was at home with Kimberly and her two dogs from the minute we walked in the door. Kimberly was awesome”


“Jennifer was amazing with my old man! Very communicative, and accommodating for our last minute plans. She took some amazing pictures amd I could tell my pooch had a wonderful time in her home. This was my first time using Rover and she certainly set the bar very high! If I'm ever in the area again, Jennifer will be my first call. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“As responsible pet owners, we are very selective about who takes care of our Havanese, Hannah. We have found Ashley to be a safe place of love and focused attention to Hannah's needs in our absence. When we pick Hannah up, she smiles like a joy filled child who just experienced the best play date available. We highly recommend Ashley!”
About: I’ve spent the past 3 years working full-time as a professional dog trainer, helping dogs of all breeds and personalities build confidence and structure. I’m also a certified Master Canine Training and Behavior Specialist through Starmark Academy. I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies to nervous or reactive dogs, always focusing on calm, positive experiences. Your dog will get patience, structure, and genuine care while they stay with me — whether we’re training, walking, or just relaxing together. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and treats them like family, I’d love to care for yours. Pet care is a core part of my daily life. I currently work full-time as a professional dog trainer with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Starting in November, I’ll be transitioning to work from home, so caring for dogs will continue to be my main focus throughout the day—just as it is now. When dogs stay with me, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and confident. I maintain a calm and structured environment with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and rest so they feel secure and relaxed. I have two well-socialized dogs who get along with most dogs and are also accustomed to the crate-and-rotate method when needed. This allows every dog to have their own space and ensures a safe, low-stress environment for everyone. Each dog receives care that fits their personality, whether that means extra attention, quiet time, or more activity to burn energy. I keep routines consistent with what they are used to at home, including feeding times, walks, and training cues. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and provide the same level of patience, consistency, and love. My goal is always to make every dog feel happy, understood, and cared for while their family is away.

About: 30+ years of experience with my own pets, fosters, puppies, seniors, and rescues. Experienced with small and senior dogs, special needs, anxiety, and smart, high-energy dogs! I love to walk and will take your dogs if that’s what they enjoy! Dogs get tons of exercise and attention at our house. Daily walks, games, and toys are all normal. I love smart and energetic breeds, but due to some balance issues, I’m better with dogs under 60 pounds. I teach from my home several days a week, so I’m often home to keep the dogs company. - For small dogs in my home they have access to our large, secure fenced yard through several dog doors. I’ll also walk them and take them out often. - For any dogs in your home, they will get plenty of exercise, cuddles, and any games they want to play. - I have experience with dogs with anxiety, rescues, special needs (older, limited mobility), and giving medication.
About: I’ve always enjoyed watching my friends/neighbors pets and this is a great way to continue doing what I love. I volunteer at shelters when I am able to, which has given me the experience of breeds all shapes and sizes! I got my first dog, Cassiar, a Jack Russell Terrier, when I was just 3 years old. Growing up alongside her taught me important lessons about understanding dogs' unique needs, behaviors, and the deep, unconditional bond we share with our pets. With this knowledge, I strive to ensure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved! I am currently taking online classes so I am home 24/7 and have a very flexible schedule! Making it easy for me to cater towards your pets needs. I have a fenced yard that has plenty of room to roam around! 2.8 arces. As well as a clean environment for your pets to make them feel at home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I have taken care of many pets for friends and family. I know our pets are family. I currently work from home so any dogs that have separation anxiety or do not like to be left alone are welcome. I have adequate time to spend with my pets as well as yours. I have a fully fenced in yard, and a doggy door so your pet would be able to go outside as they need. I am able to crate your dog. I do currently have 1 dog and 2 cats that a very friendly and great with other dogs. But I can do a crate and rotate system if that makes your dog more comfortable.

“Makalli was incredible with my dog! I was so worried! I've never left my dog with anyone before. I am not local and was just passing through and needed someone to look after my dog while I went to an appointment. The appointment went long past expected and Makalli was so flexible and gracious about the whole situation!

I’m here to make your time away as smooth and stress‑free as possible — for both you and your pet. Pet care is part of my daily schedule.
