“Kelly was awesome, she kept me updated and sent lots of photos. I could tell my Labrador Retreiver had a fun time while there. Kelly has quite an extensive assortment of dog toys, to help keep her dog and my dog entertained. She also took him to the dog park and he got to play with other dogs too. Thanks so much Kelly, great job!”

“My two dogs did well in her care while I was on vacation for two weeks. My dogs are not well socialized and do not always get a long with other dogs. Although my dogs did not get a long with her dogs, she kept them separated and still managed to give my dogs the attention they needed.”

“Duke was very happy after his weekend with Vanessa and Geoffrey. Their setup is amazing and I got several updates and pictures while away from my fur baby.”

About: I have taken care of dogs that were mine or family friends at all age ranges. I am familiar with giving dogs medicine and practicing commands. I work full time but am a teacher off during the summer. My husband also works 1 mile from our home to be able to be home after a school day. I love dogs and have one of my own. I will walk your dog, brush, give medication, and play with your dog throughout the day. My soul job will be to ease your dogs anxiety while you are away.
“Thanks for taking such great care of our aging baby! Rebecca and Roman were attentive and patient. The updates were timely and they reached out when something was out of the normal. Definitely gave us a peace of mind knowing Pepper was in great hands!”


“I have used Heather twice after relocating to the area. My dog son is extremely codependent and she manages to show him the love he needs during my absence. She provides tons of pictures and communicate updates as well as being responsive to any inquiries.”

“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”

“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”

About: I am an animal lover; I always have had dogs on my home. I used to take care of my dogs and family's dogs. I love dogs, I love to take them for a walk, I like to play outside, and I enjoy pampering animals. I am looking for a part time job and I need some extra income, so I have plenty of time to assist the animal owners. I would rather take care for pets on client's house. My landlord does not allow me to bring pets on my home and I don't have enough space for large pets.
“Dayana and her family are wonderful sitter’s! They treat Bella like family and have given her the nickname “Queen Bella”’. Communication is great - I receive morning and evening updates with pictures and videos. I recommend Dayana/Sonia 100% and will be using them as my dog sitters going forward.”

“Michael and Alaina (and doggie Deji) were amazing hosts. We had a fairly last minute request for them to watch our golden, Penny, for eight nights, including a holiday weekend, and they were more than accommodating. They were communicative, sent pictures several times a day, and took Penny on lots of walks and multiple outings (Great Falls, Ft Ward and Starbucks to name a few). We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Penny with Michael, Alaina and Deji again and they will be our first message when looking for a dog sitter in the future.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our little guys this weekend. Also thanks for the updates it gave my wife peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be working with you in the future.”

“Erica was amazing with Toby. She kept me informed and send me a picture of Toby at her home.. she asked me all the right questions to make sure she was able to give Toby the right care an attention. I would definitely.use her service again.”


“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for our trip, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands. He constantly sent thoughtful updates, videos, and pictures, which made us so happy and truly allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love he gave her, and you could tell she was having an amazing time the entire stay. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog means everything to us. We are so grateful for the incredible care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

Thank you so so so so much again and for last minute help as well you’re amazing! We will definitely be rebooking again!”

“Alyssa is so very sweet and gentle with our furbabies. She’s lovely, uber-reliable (no reminders needed), and absolutely trustworthy! We appreciated communication with feedback about her visits and photos to see that our dogs were OK!”

“WOW!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You have got to call Heather for your pet care needs! This was our very first experience with pet sitters and we unanimously voted Heather as our permanent caregiver for our cats and dogs! During the meet and greet, our pets, who are usually iffy around strangers, peacefully gathered around her. Trust was quickly established. Heather is warm, kind, super fun, amazing personality, and very knowledgeable about pet care. She knows exactly what to do. Besides, it was a treat meeting her extremely adorable daughter Aliya. What a team! Guaranteed amazing pet care service - Call Heather now!”

I work full time but am a teacher off during the summer. My husband also works 1 mile from our home to be able to be home after a school day. I love dogs and have one of my own. I will walk your dog, brush, give medication, and play with your dog throughout the day. My soul job will be to ease your dogs anxiety while you are away.

“I have used Heather twice after relocating to the area. My dog son is extremely codependent and she manages to show him the love he needs during my absence. She provides tons of pictures and communicate updates as well as being responsive to any inquiries.”

“Ana was great with my Gimli! I booked her because of her high ratings and good reviews, and let me tell you, she lives up to her 5-star reviews! She sent daily pictures and videos of my sweetheart, and I never once worried about him. Its clear Ana loves the dogs she cares for, and goes above and beyond to ensure theyre comfortable and thriving. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future because I know my little guy will be in the best hands ever!”

“Traci was amazing and wonderful! I am so glad to have found her. She sent me photos and updates and made me feel comfortable about leaving my baby with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend to everyone.”
“Michael and Alaina (and doggie Deji) were amazing hosts. We had a fairly last minute request for them to watch our golden, Penny, for eight nights, including a holiday weekend, and they were more than accommodating. They were communicative, sent pictures several times a day, and took Penny on lots of walks and multiple outings (Great Falls, Ft Ward and Starbucks to name a few). We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Penny with Michael, Alaina and Deji again and they will be our first message when looking for a dog sitter in the future.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our little guys this weekend. Also thanks for the updates it gave my wife peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be working with you in the future.”

“Erica was amazing with Toby. She kept me informed and send me a picture of Toby at her home.. she asked me all the right questions to make sure she was able to give Toby the right care an attention. I would definitely.use her service again.”


“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for our trip, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands. He constantly sent thoughtful updates, videos, and pictures, which made us so happy and truly allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love he gave her, and you could tell she was having an amazing time the entire stay. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog means everything to us. We are so grateful for the incredible care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

“My dog did great with Jessica! This was my first time leaving my dog, Papas, for an extended period, 9 days while I was out of town. He had been to a boarding facility for a day, up to 3-4 days at a time. He is small, 12 lbs, but being with too many other dogs gives him anxiety, especially if they have a lot of energy and are in his face a lot. He would prefer to be with larger dogs, but with traditional boarding there are so many dogs that the commotion just gives him anxiety and he stays by himself a lot. I didn’t have the heart to send him there for this trip away, so I figured with Rover, a more controlled environment - with humans who could give him proper attention, and just a few other dogs would be a more positive environment. My dog loved Jessica and wagged his tail right on up to her right away. Her daughter was sweet and gentle with him as well. I received pictures regularly and never felt the need to check in. I felt he was taken care of and having a good time, as was evident when I picked him up and he was exhausted! I will definitely reach out to Jessica again next time I need Papas to be taken care of and know he is in good hands.”

“Jorge was great with our Teddy! Jorge was very communicative throughout the entire day Teddy was at daycare. Teddy loved playing with Jorge’s dogs in the yard and Teddy was SO TIRED when he got home ❤️”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience leaving our dog, Max, with Camila! This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about it, but Camila handled it perfectly! She took great care of Max, and gave us feedback on how he was doing during his stay. If you are in the area, we highly recommend that you try her out!”

“Aiden was a great hostess for our large dog while we were out of town for five days. She sent a couple pictures each day of our dog and was very prompt with responses. Would definitely recommend Aiden’s services!”
