“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”
“Phillip was great with Bronx! We felt really comfortable leaving her with him and felt reassured throughout the weekend. He sent update pictures and let us know that she was doing ok. Bronx was a happy girl when we picked her up. Very communicative and overall great vibe! Will be using Phillip again.”
“Lorena was nothing less than amazing! Her place is perfect for dogs and you know right away she is a “dog person.” She provided me with daily updates, photos and videos. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, you’ve found them. Book without hesitation! Thanks Lorena!”
“Rebecca was awesome and gave me updates while I was away for a 3 day trip. Took great care of Bandit and easily warmed up to her ! Will rebook again soon ! Thank you !🙏”
“Connie took wonderful care of our Shibagirl while we were out of town on vacation! She constantly kept us updated with wonderful pics, showing us how much fun Shiba was having! On our way back home, our flight was canceled, so it was a brief delay getting back home & Connie did an awesome job accommodating us. Such an Amazing Host!!”
“I'm so grateful to have found Bryan and Brooke to take care of my little guy. They were absolutely wonderful! They kept me updated with photos and videos, and treated my doggie like their own. I’d book them again in a heartbeat (which I plan to), and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”
“Christie took excellent care of my two dogs. We also loved receiving the videos and updated on how they were doing. We will definitely try to book with Christie whenever we go out of town and need a great dog sitter.”
“Meredith is an angel with our sweet pup! She kept him for the duration of our cruise, and updated us with several pictures and a video. She was able to cater to our specific feeding needs, as well as administering medication. We are so lucky to have a puppysitter that treats him with such love and care.”
“Julie was amazing with my boy!! I don’t like to leave him with anyone other than family (slightly overprotective) but circumstances happened and I chose Julie based on her amazing reviews! They were right on! Thank you!”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stephanie is amazing!** Stephanie took care of my dog Max for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Max felt comfortable and loved the entire time. Her home was clean and safe, and Max came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Our senior lady was in great hands! Sarah made sure to send us daily updates with photos and videos. We will definitely book with them next time we’re going out of town.”
“We were in a bind since the dog kennel was booked. River app came in handy to find someone to watch our dogs. Aside from watching two mini- doxies for a day and a half, our dogs benefited from being around new people and new environment to help them socialize more. At first I wasn’t sure how they would do in a strangers home but they seemed very entertained and taken care of. Tiffany sent us photo updates as well which was nice to get.”
“This was Roxy's first stay with Christopher and she came back worn out which I thoroughly appreciate. Happy to see that he has a safe method for the dogs to run and roan without disappearing. Appreciate Christopher taking such good care of Roxy and will definitely book with him again.”

“Tiffany, David and their kids were amazing! I needed a last minute cat daycare option and they were incredibly sweet to say yes for a 6 a.m. drop off the next morning. Henry had a lovely time, which including a walk on his leash and a very cold AC vent when he got back. He didn't want to leave, which is a great sign!”
“My cat was very happy to spend time and play with Svetlana during my 3-week vacation. Svetlana visited him daily and managed all of the necessities plus play time with my cat. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her services.”

“Jessica was awesome! We loved the updates and pictures of our kitty while we were gone and she even looked after our feral kitties and possum (great for killing ticks). We will definitely be using her again!”
“What can I say? Holli is simply phenomenal! This was our first trip away from the boys and there was some trepidation on our part. We booked Holli for a familiarization visit before our trip. She was outgoing, interactive and all about getting to know Vincent and Jules. We booked 2, hour long visits each day, morning and evening. Holli arrived, took care of the boys, spent time playing with them, ensuring all their needs were met and provided updates and pictures of each visit. Jules is the shyest of the two and it took a couple visits, but he was warming up to her. Thank you Holli! You are superb and we greatly appreciate your taking care of our furry family members. You are our go-to for any and all future Rover needs.”
“Katelyn is awesome and I will continue to rebook with her! She is very patient and takes her time to leave detailed notes and takes lots of pictures of my kitties! I trust her 100%!!”
“Katherine was SO GREAT with my cat Clio!! Spent lots of time with her, sent the best pictures, and replied so fast! I will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips & I highly recommend!”
“Reliable, Trustworthy, and easy to work with! I will be hiring Erika in the future. She helped me over the Christmas & New Years holiday by stopping in to check on my house cat. She provided thorough messages after visits and good pictures.”
“Angel is fantastic and took great care of my 115 lbs cane corso. She paid attention during initial meeting, offered her feedback regarding the pup's training and demonstrated cool Rover app features.”
“Glad to have booked with Rita! She sent pictures kept us updated and was very responsive. We really appreciated her fitting us in and being patient with Fancy since it was her first time. Fancy was definitely in good hands 😊”
About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.
“Sonja is terrific! My kitties loved her from the moment she came in. When I got home, my kitties were calm, had full bellies, potties were clean, all was in order. I couldn't be happier with the care Sonja provided, I 100% recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so thankful that we found Chris to care for our cats while we were away. Our family really appreciated how well he took the time to play with and cuddle our cats while he was there caring for their other needs. Thank you!”

“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

“Christie brought a sense of calmness towards our Joji as soon as we arrived. She is very sweet, friendly, and flexible - it was a plus that she was able to work with our hours, we’ll definitely book her again :)”
“This was Khloe first time with Cindy and she was so comfortable there. Cindy said it took her about an half an hour to get comfortable but after a few belly rubs she was fine. Cindy sent pictures and was wonderful. I will definitely book her again!”
“Ligia is the best. She’s very accommodating and great with my dog. She communicates well and provides updates throughout the day. I 100% would recommend her for anyone that needs daycare for their pet.”
About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.
About: Hi there! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always take a calm, patient approach so they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. With anxious dogs especially, I focus on creating a gentle, low-pressure environment by slow introductions, calm energy, and routines that help build trust over time. I pay close attention to body language and adjust to whatever each dog needs in the moment, whether that’s space, reassurance, or a quiet walk. I also make sure to follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to be someone you and your dog feel completely comfortable with, like a trusted friend who shows up and cares every time. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. Please provide a screenshot of their most recent shots through the Rover app. I currently do NOT take more than 1 pup at a time unless the client requesting themselves has 2 pups that need taking care of! PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on booking for extended stay, our price is $40 a night for 5 days. I'm currently not employed so your pet will be attended to at all day! Any accommodation you need for them, I can surely provide at any time. I have a fenced yard and currently no other pets in the house, meaning your pet will have 100% of our time and attention so they don't feel out of place!
About: No special skills just a lot of love and care for fur babies. I've taken care of family dogs and neighbors' dogs in the community as well. Im available for boarding during the week and weekends. I have my own dog and my kids love having new fur friends around to play. My house is not fenced in but I do have a big yard, I have a crate if needed and a lot of space in y home.
About: Aside from having pets since childhood, including farm animals, I also have professional experience. I started working at a kennel at age 22 with tasks such as bathing, walking, training and playtime supervision. I was in charge of 15 dogs at a time. I then moved on to vet care for 3 years learning animal health and behavior. I work from home and very available for pets needs and provide individual care as needed. I have a great understanding of pet behavior and react accordingly. My dogs get let out at least 4 times daily.All dogs in my home can free roam and only caged if requested by owner either nightly or while I'm out. The privacy fenced in yard provides a safe place to play.
About: Hello hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I’m a 20-year-old dog lover that recently picked up petsitting in December! 😋🫶🏽 Until last year, I’d grown up with pets my entire life. Since my last childhood Pitbull, Roxy (one out of three total dogs) passed away last July, it’s been difficult adjusting to life without them to share it with me. My schedule feels hollow and incomplete after having spent the last four years with two senior dogs. Those four years have given me experience waking up both late and early to tend to a pet’s many needs, and stay up as long as needed to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Living in a house of dog lovers, your pet(s) will be both well-cared for and showered with love all throughout their stay. 💕 Having our late girl’s passing so recent, we still have all the living necessities available for use if need be. This includes pet beds, food/water bowls, functional kennels, poop bags, and a couple toys. We adore our dogs, and are ready to cherish yours just as much before they return back into your loving arms. Petsitting will provide peace of mind for both me and my clients. Whether you’re away for a short or extended period, rest assured your pet(s) stay with us will be easygoing, well communicated, and overall an experience to remember! 😁 I’m currently hunting for a full-time position outside of Rover. When I eventually enter the workforce, petsitting will likely become a background gig I can no longer give my full attention to. Since it’ll be my first ever job, adapting to a new schedule will cause me to become heavily split between sleep, work, and my own physical health, which would conflict with petsitting until I’d find a decent balance. More info will come when I get a job! 😄 Our family and neighborhood is strict about leashes, so despite our open deck and yard, while outside your pet will NEVER be without a leash or left unattended. Provided collar and leashes would be appreciated! We have a room designated for crates in case of emergencies, and will not hesitate to use them in the unlikely circumstance that we need them. Our lives were once surrounded by two pitbulls and a chihuahua that we showered with love daily. Expect that your pet(s) will be treated as if they were our own! ❤️
“Susannah is amazing! She was able to accommodate my last minute booking. She fed my pup with her pup's food because I completely forgot to pack his. She walked, played and kept me updated on my puppy. Gus gets a wiggle butt when he sees Susannah and her pup. She's been so great to work with.”
About: Going away? Let your pets stay, play, and relax in the warmth and comfort of family. With a sitter who embraces every Fur baby as part of the pack. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or medication—I strive to ensure your furball feels not only cared for but loved as well. While providing consistency, reliability, and most importantly, peace of mind to you. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and always home—perfect for giving your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and a heart for caregiving, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and never alone. I have a 2200+ sqft house with plenty of space for playing and exploration as well as multiple quiet cozy nooks separate from the main area, perfect for observing and getting comfortable with new environments and friends. For the pets that prefer the great outdoors our home is on a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced-in backyard that is mostly shaded by multiple large trees to lounge under and provide plenty of birds, squirrels, and rabbits to chase around! Afterwards, a large comfy couch and doggy bed await in the main living room space so your pup can rest and relax with the family. I allow animals on the furniture and bed so they always feel welcome to cuddle up with me for pets and ear rubs. Likewise, at bedtime your furry companion can curl up on the bed or sleep on the plush doggy bed in the comfy nook at the foot of the bed. My goal is to ensure that at all points of their adventure they feel a part of the family.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10 years, whether mine or those belonging to family. I have trained puppies as well as taken care of my dogs that have reached their golden years, and helped them over the rainbow bridge. My top two priorities are communication and safety. Any need you have regarding your pet is of utmost importance because pets aren’t just animals - they’re family! I have two dogs at home, one is 1 1/2 years old and the other is nearly 4. We walk 3 times daily, as well as plenty of enrichment time inside. Enrichment depends on the day, it can be playing with toys, eating treats from snuffle mats, lick mats, or just running around with them until they’re as tired as I am! Safety is my biggest priority. I follow instructions very carefully, I keep a close eye on your fur babies both in the house and outside. I can send real time updates that way you know exactly what is going on at all times, and I will always make sure to ask questions when needed. I can recreate your pets routine as closely as possible, and I will always bring positive energy!
“Brianna was great! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and I could immediately tell she was someone I could trust with my dogs. She was very attentive, followed all my instructions, and kept me updated throughout the week with messages and pictures. Communication was easy the whole time, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing the pups were in good hands while I was at work. I’d definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had experiences not only taking care of my own animals but also watching my friends and families pets. I’m able to walk for however long a pet needs and I’m able to remember when a pet needs to be taken out or fed. I’m also able to adapt easily if the pet has any conditions or disabilities that I need to accommodate to. I’m always available at any time whether it’s mornings or nights. I may have trips but whenever I’m home, I’m always looking for something to do. I always make sure they’re comfortable with me before petting then it playing, considering I never want to force anything. I make sure to feed them on time and take then out whenever it is needed. I also love walking my own dogs all the time.
“Jessica did amazing with our dog Molly! She left extensive and detailed notes each day about the walk. I loved receiving multiple photos each day. It gave us good peace of mind knowing Molly was being taken care of someone we could trust. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

I especially appreciate her accepting my request last minute and still providing such great service. I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to my friends.”

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

I’m confident handling leash training, giving medication, and reading pet behavior to ensure they always feel safe and cared for.

More info will come when I get a job! 😄 Our family and neighborhood is strict about leashes, so despite our open deck and yard, while outside your pet will NEVER be without a leash or left unattended. Provided collar and leashes would be appreciated! We have a room designated for crates in case of emergencies, and will not hesitate to use them in the unlikely circumstance that we need them. Our lives were once surrounded by two pitbulls and a chihuahua that we showered with love daily. Expect that your pet(s) will be treated as if they were our own! ❤️
About: I have actually grown up my entire life with dogs and cats and currently own a cat of my own. He is the light of life and I don't know what I would do without him. I know it can be stressful for you to leave their side for any amount of time but I promise they are in good hands. Of course pets also get stressed out as well and I want to help diminish those factors for both the pet and the owner. I have also taken care of a guinea pig in the past and have a pretty good knowledge of reptiles. Of course I will not assume anything about a pet without receiving proper care instructions from the owner. I work mostly evenings at our local live performance theater. So I am available most days of the week for normal 9-5 hours except for Wednesday and Sunday. My shifts are about 3-4 hours long so I will be able to take care of a pet at night as well. I would listen to the owner about what their normal routine would be and make sure if the pet needs play time or walks that they are well taken care of in those regards.
“Bethany was fantastic! My dog has a rare auto immune disease and she took in all of the information and kept him safe each time she walked him. Ryder can’t wait to see her again!”
About: A sitter let my dog toby get attacked, I would never want a parent to go through what I did! I know how to walk, clean, feed and care for your baby like my own! I work part time and do nails! So I make my own schedules and work around everything!! Rover is perfect for me with a flexible and interchangeable schedule. I feed my babies twice a day, a walk around 2pm from whoever is home, and I typically try to get some play time in during the afternoon! My doggy’s love fetch!
About: I have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors since I was in middle school, and enjoy being with animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m a fast learner and will care for your home and animals as if they were my own. I can handle long walks, cleaning up accidents, following special feeding instructions, play time, and even just hanging out on the couch with your pet. If your pet has special medical needs, please message me about details and I will let you know if I can help! In addition to my time spent caring for dogs and cats, I also have experience in house sitting, plant care, and exotic animal needs. Just send me a message and I am happy to help with whatever I can! I’ve recently graduated from JMU, and am searching for the right direction to take my career into. For now, I have dedicated the majority of my time to caring for animals. I have a lot of availability and flexible hours right now! I am happy to go to your house, where your pet is more at home, but also can keep pets at my place during the day, if needed!

“Paprika had another wonderful stay with Sonja & Phil! She absolutely loves them and they always give us such a peace of mind when our dog stays with them.”
“I can't express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care River receives at his home away from home. From the very first visit, it was clear that River was going to be treated like family. Their warm and welcoming environment makes every stay a delight. They go above and beyond to ensure River feels comfortable and loved. Whether it's engaging him in playtime, providing treats, or simply showering him with affection, their dedication shines through. I love receiving updates and pictures, which reassure me that he’s having a fantastic time. Knowing that River is in such capable hands allows me to relax and enjoy my time away. I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy home for their pets. Thank you for everything you do for River! 🐕 ♥️”
“Phillip was great with Bronx! We felt really comfortable leaving her with him and felt reassured throughout the weekend. He sent update pictures and let us know that she was doing ok. Bronx was a happy girl when we picked her up. Very communicative and overall great vibe! Will be using Phillip again.”
“Lorena was nothing less than amazing! Her place is perfect for dogs and you know right away she is a “dog person.” She provided me with daily updates, photos and videos. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, you’ve found them. Book without hesitation! Thanks Lorena!”
“Rebecca was awesome and gave me updates while I was away for a 3 day trip. Took great care of Bandit and easily warmed up to her ! Will rebook again soon ! Thank you !🙏”
“Connie took wonderful care of our Shibagirl while we were out of town on vacation! She constantly kept us updated with wonderful pics, showing us how much fun Shiba was having! On our way back home, our flight was canceled, so it was a brief delay getting back home & Connie did an awesome job accommodating us. Such an Amazing Host!!”
“I'm so grateful to have found Bryan and Brooke to take care of my little guy. They were absolutely wonderful! They kept me updated with photos and videos, and treated my doggie like their own. I’d book them again in a heartbeat (which I plan to), and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”
“Christie took excellent care of my two dogs. We also loved receiving the videos and updated on how they were doing. We will definitely try to book with Christie whenever we go out of town and need a great dog sitter.”
“Julie was amazing with my boy!! I don’t like to leave him with anyone other than family (slightly overprotective) but circumstances happened and I chose Julie based on her amazing reviews! They were right on! Thank you!”
“Our senior lady was in great hands! Sarah made sure to send us daily updates with photos and videos. We will definitely book with them next time we’re going out of town.”
“We were in a bind since the dog kennel was booked. River app came in handy to find someone to watch our dogs. Aside from watching two mini- doxies for a day and a half, our dogs benefited from being around new people and new environment to help them socialize more. At first I wasn’t sure how they would do in a strangers home but they seemed very entertained and taken care of. Tiffany sent us photo updates as well which was nice to get.”
“This was Roxy's first stay with Christopher and she came back worn out which I thoroughly appreciate. Happy to see that he has a safe method for the dogs to run and roan without disappearing. Appreciate Christopher taking such good care of Roxy and will definitely book with him again.”
“Kaitlyn deserves 10 stars my dod Milo stayed overnight and she was caring, provides frequent walks,she sent pictures throughout his stay. And she was very kind i would definitely use her again.”
“Ligia, thank you so much for taking such great care of Cranberry. This was her first time away from home. You were so accommodating to her needs. Thank you for treating her like a princess.”

“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.”
About: Hi there! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always take a calm, patient approach so they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. With anxious dogs especially, I focus on creating a gentle, low-pressure environment by slow introductions, calm energy, and routines that help build trust over time. I pay close attention to body language and adjust to whatever each dog needs in the moment, whether that’s space, reassurance, or a quiet walk. I also make sure to follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to be someone you and your dog feel completely comfortable with, like a trusted friend who shows up and cares every time. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. Please provide a screenshot of their most recent shots through the Rover app. I currently do NOT take more than 1 pup at a time unless the client requesting themselves has 2 pups that need taking care of! PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on booking for extended stay, our price is $40 a night for 5 days. I'm currently not employed so your pet will be attended to at all day! Any accommodation you need for them, I can surely provide at any time. I have a fenced yard and currently no other pets in the house, meaning your pet will have 100% of our time and attention so they don't feel out of place!
