We are so grateful for the care Aurelie and her family gave our dog!”

“Erica was phenomenal. I was nervous about leaving my 2 large dogs with someone I just met. However, when I met her prior to boarding my dogs, I knew it was a good choice. She has an area just for the dogs that she boards, was incredibly knowledgeable about dog behaviors and how to handle them. I was especially nervous because my youngest dog is reactive. Erica knew precisely how to manage that. She even worked with my reactive dog and my dog was very responsive. I received ample communication and photos throughout my dogs stay with her. Having Erica watch my dogs gave me peace of mind that I didn’t expect from a new person. I highly recommend Erica and will call her again should I need to board my dogs.”

I was nervous of course, him staying in a new space but it couldn’t have gone better! Finley got lots of playtime and snuggles, and her updates put me at ease. Finley had a great time while I was away. She is great and knowledgeable with animals and she made Finley feel more than comfortable. Will definitely be booking again if needed!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog for the weekend. Kay seemed to really love her time at Melissa's and got plenty of love and attention from her and her son. She sent pictures and updates a couple of times a day. I will definitely look to book her in the future!”

“Laurelyn took good care of our two cats during our 14 day vacation. She took the time each day to make sure our cats had time on the screen porch and that our one cat got his daily drink from the faucet, along with watching our garden. We will use her as a sitter again for our future travels!”

Taking care of animals is a passion of mine; making sure they’re happy and healthy makes me happy!

“Ive used Brandys daycare services for Loki 2 days a week for about 5 weeks now. She is very attentive, loves dogs, and caring towards him. He gets so excited to see her and looks so comfortable around her family. She gives physical daily report cards with the potty schedule, behavior, feedings, comments and recommendations. She sends photos throughout the day. Her family enjoys having him around and I love seeing him play with her children. I had a family emergency one weekend and she had no problem keeping him for me until I got back in town. That was super huge because she does have a family, it was last minute, and a big ask. Definitely would recommend her services.”
“I can’t say enough kind things about Michelle. I feel like she’s an extension of our family in how she cares for our puppy. She’s provides an enriching experience for dogs in her care. She is warm, personable and efficient in response to communication. We will use her again.”
“I could rave about how absolutely amazing Samantha was with my Khaleesi for hours, but I’ll keep it short for reading purposes. My dog Khaleesi is a high anxiety dog and does not do well with strangers and typically hides from them. Samantha had her during the day for 3 days, and from day 1 Khaleesi took right to her. It did take some warming up time, but Samantha kept me very updated and sent pictures throughout the day. By the end of the 3 days, Khaleesi was walking into Samantha’s house without hesitation and didn’t even turn around to look at me. Samantha is incredible and I highly recommend her!!!!”
“Elisabeth was awesome! Ivy enjoyed her time spending the day here, and Elisabeth sent lots of updates, to include photos. Would definitely recommend her to care for your pup as well!”
“Melissa is PHENOMENAL!!! A truly caring and dedicated sitter!! She was patient and kind and understands how much our baby means to us. To say she went above and beyond is a huge understatement!! I wish I could hire her full-time! Her baby Pappy is a huge cherry on top!! We are so happy!!”
“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.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since 2011 and have owned a variety of breeds, including Yorkies, Beagles, and German Shepherds. My dogs have always been beloved family members who lived long, happy lives. I understand the importance of dependable, loving care and will treat your pet with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time, pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, affection, and a consistent routine. I know every pet has their own routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, going for extra walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing on the couch, I try to keep their day as normal as possible. I work from home and have a fully fenced yard, which allows for plenty of supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play throughout the day. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

About: Hello! I love animals and I’ve worked with them professionally for over a year at an animal shelter and more at a boarding facility. I have had animals and dogs all my life, from big dogs (like my current 2 year old yellow Labrador Retriever), energetic boxers, to small mixed chihuahuas. Also mostly every other critter like birds, ferrets, hamsters, fish, snakes, chinchillas, lizards, etc. But not bugs. I’ve raised dogs from puppies, potty trained, crate trained, and have completed my 7th dog obedience training class with my current dog. Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets for weeks at a time. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I am a wife, home-maker, and dog mom and have open availability anytime during the week and weekend. I have been professionally trained in cat and dog behavior/care at a shelter and a boarding facility. I am also professionally trained in dog health from the medical clinic in the shelter. I will take care of your animals however they need!
“I had a vacation out of state and Felicitas truly made me feel like I was still at home taking care of my own babies. She was super responsive, and on time every time. She updated me on one of my dogs limping as soon as she noticed it and sent a video displaying the problem. The pictures she sent were also very cute and funny. My babies adored her. Next time I go on vacation I would absolutely use her again.”

You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m grateful that my work schedule as an environmental scientist is flexible and remote. It’s easy for me to prioritize pet care to fit within your schedule. While caring for your pet, I promise to treat your home as well as your fur baby with care and respect. I love being outdoors and am happy to take your pet for lengthy walks whether or not you have a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! Ive been a stay at home mom for about 6 years now so I have plenty of time! I’m available for drop-ins, daycare for the day, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.
