“A second booking for my boy! He always loves going over here and is so happy to be with Gigi and mocha. He always looks so comfortable over Kathleen’s house”
“She is wonderful! I was going out of state so I was a little nervous- but she is amazing at what she does. She suggested a meet and greet with dogs beforehand which was an excellent idea. Martina- thank you again!”
“This was our first time leaving Brody overnight in a new place since we got him as a puppy. Beth and her family took great care of him! Her dog Khloe is very sweet and playful and they got along great despite the size difference. Beth is very nice, personable and communicated with us often and put us at ease with leaving Brody in her care. I would use Beth again in the future!”
“I was scrambling to find dog boarding when my friend canceled on me at the last minute. I had no backup plan and actually thought I’d have to send my dog to a kennel for the week. Luckily, as I was looking up kennels, I found information on Rover. So this was my very first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Turns out, there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Rover is very easy to use and I was able to find Julie & Kenneth N’s information. After seeing/reading the positive reviews I made immediate plans to meet them and have them meet my Husky, Max. When Julie & Ken arrived, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, they love dogs. I was able to book Max to stay with Julie & Ken for the entire week that we were on a family vacation. As promised, I got daily emails (with pictures) of how Max was doing and Julie even let me know how helpful Max was in the kitchen — by being watchful to ensure Julie didn’t drop anything while preparing lunch. I loved all of the text communications I received — Max was smiling in some of the pics. That put me at ease too. If you want top notch boarding for your dog, then I highly recommend this dog-loving duo. Your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy with Julie & Ken. In the future, whenever we need dog boarding, Julie & Ken will be my very first choice. I am sincerely grateful to them for their excellent care of Max.”
“Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.”
“Maria & Matthew are the absolute best! We’ve used them twice and each time it gets better! Our dog loves his mini vaca at their house with his doggie friends. Their communication is incredible! Maria and Matthew are our go to sitters!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“Tina was wonderful with my puppy. He had a ball with the other dogs there, she made sure to keep me updated with pictures while we were away. Her home is spotless and fresh with areas designated for your dog to feel at home. My puppy is about 4 months old and has some separation anxiety when no one is around. Tina made my baby feel safe, secure, and close when he needed it the most. We will be booking with her again!”
“Teresa was very good with my Nyla this weekend. She sent lots of pictures and a video on Nyla’s weekend fun. She also went out of her way to clip Nyla’s nails. I highly recommend Teresa for your pet sitting needs.”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“My pup has stayed with Megan twice now and she loves it! I’m so glad I decided to use Rover instead of a boarding place. Megan took really good care of her and sends constant updates! 5 stars!!!”
“I highly recommend Maryann! From her initial response to my request for pet sitting, to her multiple updates every day (with pictures), MaryAnn conveyed a professional and loving option for our little Puggle. We will definitely use her sitting services again!”
“Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Abby while we were away. Abby came home happy, well cared for, and even clean, it seemed like Lisa even gave her a bath while she had her! She was incredibly accommodating, especially when our flight was unexpectedly canceled due to weather. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Abby was in good hands. Highly recommend Lisa!”
“Cassie and Tradd were the BEST home away from home for our dog! They sent us lots of updates and he was always smiling so wide, we knew he was well loved. We cannot recommend them enough - they have definitely become our go-to Rover family!”

“Haley did an awesome job caring for my senior cat Hector! She's very professional, very thorough and super caring! Can't say enough good things about Haley! Very highly recommended!”
“This is our first time using Rover. We wanted someone who was mature and responsible and Jeanne was a great fit. She was prompt and caring from the start. She sent messages and pictures every time and followed the details of our instructions. She was also thoughtful and thorough in how she cared for our kitty. We especially appreciate Jeanne giving time and space for our kitty to warm up to her and make sure she was comfortable with interaction. We recommend Jeane!”
“Hannah was an amazing sitter! She took great pictures of my cat as well as pictures to make sure I knew he had food, clean litter and water! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“As usual, Jordan is a blessing to have with our very loved Gatos! Thank you Jordan! Thank you for taking the time to take pictures, play with our fur babies! Thank you for the wonderful communication!. We are so lucky to know you Jordan.”
“Basically, Teresa is the Cat Whisperer. My cat Bonnie is scared of all visitors but was drawn to Teresa during her drop-ins, which were consistent and on-time. Teresa sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos during her visits. Bonnie was clearly in very good hands while I was away!”
“Alyssa was fantastic taking care of our four cats during a trip out of the country. She took amazing pics of the babies every check-in (like the best pics!), bonded with each of our very anxious kitties, and sent detailed (and very funny) updates every visit. We look forward to using her again for our next trip, and are so excited to have found a cat sitter like Alyssa!”
“Charell was absolutely amazing, my cats were so happy with her and I was able to actually have some peace of mind on a long trip, I will absolutely be using her again and would recommend her to anybody.”
“Theresa has giving me such peace of mind. I travel quite often and had a non-Rover sitter coming by to care for the cats. The care was inconsistent, which is so unfair to pets. I decided to book someone thru Rover and am so lucky to have found Theresa. She lives very close to my home and provides the attention and consistency that the cats deserve.”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a kid and have had many cats throughout my life. I cat sit for family still to this day and have done lots of research on cats in general.
“Tyler was so helpful when we went out of town. He was so attentive while checking in on our cats and sending updates, and asking for clarification when needed. We definitely recommend booking with him. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future”
“Maggie was a godsend when I had to leave my kitty for three days. She was punctual and attentive, and I knew my Archie was always in good hands with her. I would definitely book with Maggie again, and you should too! Thank you so much Maggie!🩷🫶👍😁”
“so attentive and caring !! did the most and did more then asked, especially when there was some minor bumps that came up, she was able to help me out !! love her and will use her again !!”
“Thank you for taking care of Gigi! Will definitely book again. Even included a goodie bag 😸. Im sure she enjoyed her stay and the communication was top tier with lots of photos of her time there. I appreciate all the updates and making sure she had a comfortable stay. Thank you again!!!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of professional experience working in animal shelters and caring for animals of all personalities and needs. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence and care on their own terms. I currently share my home with two cats, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable checking in while you're away. During visits, I'll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention, playtime, or cuddles if they want it. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your feline family members. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or independent, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pets. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
“I told Stephanie that she can check on my cats any time as long as 1 was in the morning and 1 at night while I went away for the weekend. She actually followed the schedule I put to the tee and updated me the entire time I was gone. Thank you so much for caring for my 3 cats!”
“Kess is just wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for your pet like her own while you’re away! She is detail oriented and patient. My cat, who is typically quite anxious, warmed up to her right away :) She also sends such lovely, detailed messages and cute photos. Will absolutely continue reaching out to her in the future for help when I’m away!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience working in animal shelters, dog daycare centers, and boarding facilities. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. After recently losing my beloved dogs, I realized I wasn't quite ready for another long-term commitment, but I deeply missed having dogs around. Rover has given me the perfect opportunity to open my home and heart to dogs while helping other pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm a stay-at-home mom, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I also have two cats who grew up with dogs and are comfortable sharing their space, as well as two young children who have been around dogs their entire lives and know how to interact respectfully with them. For the comfort and safety of every pet in my care, I only accept dogs from one household at a time. This allows me to provide individualized attention and create a calm, stress-free environment during their stay. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. My mornings typically begin with feeding pets, potty breaks, walks, or playtime before my family's daily activities start. Because I am home most of the day, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. Throughout the day, I can accommodate additional potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and enrichment. In the evenings, pets are included in our family's relaxed routine, with more playtime, walks, and cuddles before bedtime. For boarding and daycare, dogs are rarely left unattended, and I only accept pets from one household at a time to ensure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I care for every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I strive to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. Dogs have access to our large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and because I am home throughout the day, they receive consistent attention and companionship. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, which allows me to focus on their individual needs and maintain a low-stress environment.

“Michelle was great. She was ready for Daly to be dropped off. She kept me informed all day, with messages and photos. So I was totally at ease during the day. And she was ready to hand Daly back to me, with a summary of activities. I recommend her highly, and will gladly use her services again. Thanks, Michelle!”
“We were in a bind and needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog. Thankfully Tina was available and was very friendly and great with communication! Thanks again for taking care of our girl!”
About: I have multiple years of experience babysitting and pet sitting. I also have a few friends with pets that I help take care of as well. My schedule is pretty flexible during the week since I work from home. I am available during the week and occasionally on the weekends as well. Please don’t hesitate to reach out even if the date is blocked off. I definitely try my best to make it work schedule wise. I live in an apartment complex but there are various nearby parks and open spaces that are pet friendly. There's also a lot of walking space around the complex. I take care of my grandpa currently and he would love to have company of a four legged friend. 🥰
“You can tell she loves dogs. Autumn cared for our pup with love and understanding, and made sure she got her walks and play time in. Riley was tuckered out on the way home and looked like she wanted to go back for more day care! We will definitely be booking with Autumn again. Thank you!”

As a Navy family, reliability and trust are important to us, and my husband helps with drop-in visits and boardings (also a star sitter on rover) .

“David is truly amazing! We needed a sitter for our pup at the last minute so I went on Rover and was impressed with David’s profile and reviews. I contacted him and he responded right away. We needed a 5am drop off and he was totally accommodating. Oz spent the day playing with David’s pups and was so happy when we picked him up. David communicated with me during the day to put me at ease and I appreciated that. You know how dog mama’s are lol. We had a great experience and will definitely rebook with him many times in the future.”
“Rachel is incredible with our puppy, who I know, is a lot of energy and work! My dog is so excited to come over to Rachel’s house, she’s practically jumping from my arms! I am so grateful for the love and care Rachel provides!”
About: I love dogs of all sizes and ages! My family recently lost our pitbull, Emma, who was 7 years old, so my mom has temporarily kidnapped my Chihuahua so the house doesn't feel so lonely. Now my house feels a little too quiet without her around. I am loving, caring, trustworthy, and responsible! Your pet is free to roam around the house with me, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, on car rides, to the beach, and anywhere they can have fun and enjoy themselves (with your permission, of course). I like to keep dog parents updated with pictures & texts throughout their pet's stay. I understand that every dog has their own personality and unique needs, and I am committed to giving them the very best care while providing you with peace of mind. I will make sure your pet feels welcomed, loved, and right at home here! I work from home, so I'll be with your doggie for most of the day. The only time they'll be home alone is when I run errands. I care for pets in a safe, loving home with a fenced yard where they can play and get fresh air. They are treated like my own. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I also send regular updates with photos and messages.
“MaryAnn did a great job with our German Shepherd, Nash! He's a little shy at first in new situations, but he warmed up quickly, and I could tell that he really enjoyed staying with her. She did a wonderful job making sure that he was comfortable and cared for. He really took a liking to her and turned into a Velcro dog with her! She gave very informative updates and sent photos throughout the day. She's also very careful about introductions and making sure that all the dogs get along. I definitely trust her and will be a repeat client!”
About: Hello! I come to Rover with over 40 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve spent my entire life around animals, and for over 30 years (beginning as a volunteer at age 14 with my local wildlife museum), I’ve worked hands-on with animals in a variety of settings. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love and feel deeply connected to. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and taking the time to understand what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy is what makes me an exceptional pet sitter. Whether it’s keeping up with your furry family member's familiar routines (such as going for walks, play, and mealtimes) or simply offering calm companionship in whatever form that takes, I cater to each pet individually so they feel as at ease as possible while you’re away. My background in nursing makes me comfortable administering most medications—including pills, injections, and specialized treatments—with confidence and ease. I always follow your care instructions and often take pictures or videos at our meet-and-greet to refer back to later as well. (I can also do more than one meet-and-greet if necessary for an additional cost based on time and driving distance.) In addition to practical care, I bring a grounded, gentle presence and am certified in animal Reiki, which can be especially comforting for anxious or high-energy pets. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet so that you can return to a calm, tidy space and a happy companion. I currently have a very flexible schedule that can be adapted to a variety of needs, including caring for birds, rodents, reptiles, and more, ensuring I can meet your pet's unique needs. I hope I get the opportunity to meet with you and your pet in person and see if we might make a good fit! I am not currently working outside the home, apart from Rover, and do not accept other jobs while I am caring for your pet (s). When you book me as your sitter I can guarantee that your pet will have my undivided attention the whole stay. Earning your pets trust and ensuring they are always safe, (both inside the home and outside on walls, etc.), is my top priority as a pet sitter. I follow the rules you put into place for their care and will always contact you should there be any concerns. (Thankfully there rarely are!)
“Nichole was awesome with my Husky Skye! She was very attentive and kept me updated throughout the day with how she was doing as well as sent pictures! I would recommend her to any of my pet parent friends!”
“Kobie was GREAT with my baby! I loved getting a video of him settling in within 20 minutes of dropping him off at doggy day care. Jax had a great time with Kobie’s dogs and he was well taken care of!”
About: **Work from Home** **Please message if you have more than 2 dogs for special pricing** I am very much a helicopter mom to all of my fur babies. I will care for yours the exact same as I would my own. Being someone you can trust with your family member while you are at work or away from home is my goal. I have fostered for a trusted animal rescue and screened for potential adopters as well! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play and let them out for potty breaks. I make sure your pup stays on their “at home” schedule to keep them comfy and relaxed during their stay. I have a fenced in yard and a clean home with nothing laying around on the floors. Your baby will have their own space (with or without crate) and will be cared for like they are my own.
About: Hi! I've been operating on Rover for about 5 years now! I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and love being around them. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from Papillons to German Shepards. I am accepting of all breeds, sizes and ages. I've had several dogs with allergies and other health issues, so I am experienced in giving medications, applying any topicals, and noticing any developing symptoms. I also have lots of experience with cats and even have one of my own with medical issues, so I would love to do drop ins for your feline friends! I am currently a student at Eastern Virginia Medical School and am in my last year so my schedule can be somewhat variable. However for the next few months I will be available for mid-day walks/cat visits! I have a 7 year old Pit Bull Terrier that absolutely loves all other animals and can adjust his play style according to other dogs sizes. I also have a small fenced in outdoor patio where your dogs can relax outside with some sun in between walks. I live alone so there won't be too much stimulation from others, and there's plenty of space for your pup to take some time to their selves if needed.

I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.
“I was extremely nervous about using rover my Koda is 70Ibs and absolutely insane in the best possible way. Tyler reassured and explained to me how everything was going to work. When tyler came to the door Koda was in protective mode, thankfully tyler didn’t get scared off instead he suggested a new approach to them meeting and once Koda sniffed him he immediately let tyler take the leash! He was amazing and I will definitely be scheduling with him again!”

“Morgan was so easy to work with and such a kind individual! This is my first time using a dog walking service. My dog is very shy and timid in nature, but Morgan was very calm and patient with him and also very reassuring towards me regarding my concerns with his fearfulness. Will certainly use her again in the future!”
About: I started working as a vet tech at 17 and have two years of boarding experience at a veterinary hospital, well versed in schedules and procedures including medication and special needs. Currently working but flexible schedule, willing to work with your needs! Older/less active dogs preferred but happy to play with a puppy when so necessary. I worked directly beneath the boarding manager and trained new staff in observation, care schedules, and proper safety protocols. I also form bonds of trust with any animal I’m working with to ensure their and my comfort.
“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”
About: Hi! Im Erin and I LOVE animals! They are our "furry babies" and we have a duty to make sure they are well taken care of like any other family member! I've been caring for pets since I was a child and have welcomed several breeds and varieties in my home over the years from cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, snakes, turtles, even horses and pigs! I have a cat and a bunny who are friendly and love meeting new pets! My cat Oliver is a loving and cool "big bro" and my bunny Lucy will keep everyone happy and energetic! I know its hard to leave those precious babies home alone while you work all day so let me be their "best friend" when you need the help! I am an Insurance Agent so I work from home most of the week. I have my weekends off but I have time during the week to care for your pets in between meetings and in the evenings. I am not hosting at the moment due to renovations in my home, but I will gladly come to your home to take out your pets or to feed and keep them company while you are away on business or holiday. I am willing to stay at your residence to care for your pets if accommodations are available. I will be willing to wash and perform light grooming if needed and take them where you'd like with and other amenities your pet may need. All can be discussed and negotiated for the situation.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have had pets my entire life. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet—they’re family. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy, or more laid-back, I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. My home has a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I always take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable, and I can separate dogs if needed so they have their own space. While you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own—giving them lots of attention, care, and affection. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for dog and a stress-free experience for you. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available during the week and weekends, and your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced yard for safe, supervised playtime and follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any medications.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life. From dogs of all ages and breeds, cats young and old, birds and even Guinea pigs. My love for animals show in the way I care for them. I am a homebody and would rather stay at home watching Netflix with your pet and my cat. I work during the week but I am free to board on weekends. I have a fenced backyard and a nice neighborhood for plenty of walks. My cat is dog friendly as long as your dog is cat friendly.
About: I am very patient and understanding. I will work with you as much as I can. I have experience giving medications. I will update daily. I am free everyday. I can check in on them any time. I have 10+ years experience and references and reliable transportation. I can come to you if needed. I will make sure to tell the owners to give me a checklist of things that needs to be done and how to care for their pets.
“Ashlynn was a fantastic person caring for my two chocolate labs! She was always reliable and came to care for them at times I requested. She gave plenty of updates and that was really appreciated. I would definitely trust her again with my fur babies. Thanks again, Ashlynn!”
About: I have five years of pet-sitting and house-sitting experience as a form of income, but I have been a pet owner and lover of animals for my entire life! Friends, neighbors, and colleagues have hired me by word of mouth, so pleased with the level of care I provide to their home and/or fur-baby. I currently work full-time, Mon-Fri with late afternoon (starting at 3pm) and full weekend availability. I have two cats that I love and care for with all my heart. While I make coffee, I obey their need for a morning treat and roll up the window blinds so they can watch the birds as the sun rises. Our morning routine. I go to work, come home, and give them all of my attention. I care for my clients’ pets in their preferred way, with whatever is relayed to me. Then I always add a little extra love and care. I make sure to know any allergies, places or animals to avoid on walks, and preferred discipline strategies. When I am house-sitting, I follow the instructions handed to me while being sure to make it seem as though I was never there upon my departure. Clean, cozy, and better than when you left it.
“Reyna is a phenomenal rover. Her professionalism and keen attention to detail is unmatched when dealing with my fur buddy. When I mention his rover is on the way soon, his excitement is out the roof. If you're looking for a committed rover, that communicates extremely well, ensures your fur baby is safe, and makes your life unbelievably easier. Reyna is definitely the one 🙌🏾🙌🏾”
About: My name is Catina Lewis. I have a very flexible schedule. I work at a physical therapy office as a patient coordinator. Navy wife, with a crazy 6 year old, a beautiful 3 year old, 6yr old Pom mix, Australian Husky Mix, Great Pyrenees and a Princess Cat. I have live in VA for 7 years and have been on Rover doing dog sitting for 6 and I love every minute of it! I currently live in a 5 bedroom home. I also have a decent backyard they can play in along with mine and possibly 2 other pets. ~Meet and Greets~ I do require we do a Meet and Greet 3 days before booking a stay. I want to make sure the animals are comfortable with each other for the safety of both mine and your pets. **Policy Pick up and Drop Offs** Times are 8am-8pm *During pick-ups and drop-offs text messages will be greatly appreciated due to us having multiple dogs and our children who nap and sleep in. *Rate covers 24hrs period. Ex: Pup’s parents booked a 2 night stay, beginning Monday and ending of Wednesday. Pup gets dropped off at 8am on Monday for 2 night boarding. Once Wednesday rolls around, Pup pick up time is 8am; if pick up time needs to be extended to later than 8am, a single Doggy Dare Care will be applied to the full amount. *That being said — we are human and things happen and plans fall through. I am flexible but please inform me as soon as possible if anything comes up. I also have plans and kids that go to be at current times. Please inform me before the stay what the anticipated drop off and pick up times are so we can plan accordingly. Someone will always be home with them to let them out or feed them. They are let out every 2-4 hours and feeding them separately from our dogs or any other dogs we have in care for safety reasons. I have a fenced in yard and 4 adorable doggies to keep your company. We are always outside playing fetch or just hanging out so they get enough exercise.

“A second booking for my boy! He always loves going over here and is so happy to be with Gigi and mocha. He always looks so comfortable over Kathleen’s house”
“Shannon took such great care of our dog, Ruby. Shannon sent multiple photos of Ruby during her stay, reassuring us that she was enjoying herself. We'll definitely use Shannon again in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving Brody overnight in a new place since we got him as a puppy. Beth and her family took great care of him! Her dog Khloe is very sweet and playful and they got along great despite the size difference. Beth is very nice, personable and communicated with us often and put us at ease with leaving Brody in her care. I would use Beth again in the future!”
“Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.”
“Maria & Matthew are the absolute best! We’ve used them twice and each time it gets better! Our dog loves his mini vaca at their house with his doggie friends. Their communication is incredible! Maria and Matthew are our go to sitters!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Lauren had great communication before and during. Thankful she was able to accommodate our last minute request. Highly recommend lauren. Thank you again and have a blessed holiday.”
“Teresa was very good with my Nyla this weekend. She sent lots of pictures and a video on Nyla’s weekend fun. She also went out of her way to clip Nyla’s nails. I highly recommend Teresa for your pet sitting needs.”
“David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.”
“My pup has stayed with Megan twice now and she loves it! I’m so glad I decided to use Rover instead of a boarding place. Megan took really good care of her and sends constant updates! 5 stars!!!”
“Marie is awesome!!! From the first meeting we had, she made us feel comfortable leaving Yani with her. It was hard for us to leave him for that long (3 weeks) and be thousands of miles away, but with her sending pictures consistently and giving us daily updates, she made it a lot easier for us. She even took time to hand- feed ( being a picky eater) and train Yani as well which is a big PLUS!!! She even gave us a list of what their routine was and the commands she taught so we can follow through. We can’t thank her enough for what she has done taking care of our fur-baby, and would definitely book her again.”
“I highly recommend Maryann! From her initial response to my request for pet sitting, to her multiple updates every day (with pictures), MaryAnn conveyed a professional and loving option for our little Puggle. We will definitely use her sitting services again!”
“Autumn is phenomenal with my two dogs! She was especially good with my Belgian Sheepdog who is very protective of me and my wife. She was able to get him calm and walk with her without any problems!! I highly recommend Autumn as she has the right temperament and expertise to handle anyone’s dog!”
“We truly appreciate the care you gave our girl Roxy. She’s 13 and needs more attention, meds, potty time, etc and you made us feel comfortable with leaving her with you. We loved all the pictures you sent and how you kept us informed of her daily activities. Thank you for being so kind.”
“Michelle was very sweet to my pups and extremely accommodating to my ever changing schedule! She took the time to ensure my Border Collie got exercise and that my senior Shitzu got plenty of comfy naps! She was also really great about sending pictures and updates. I’d absolutely recommend her!”
