“Excellent! She is a very nice person that cares about animals and it shows. My dog had a great time at her house. She sent me pictures and videos and I am so grateful for the way she treated our dog. Thanks!!!”
“Connie was great with both my Rottweiler and Cavapoo while I was away on vacation. She kept in constant contact by sending pics of the dogs everyday. She has considerable expertise with large dogs being that while my Rottweiler stayed with her, there were two other Rottweilers who were also boarded and no problems arose at all. She will definitely be the go-to for our boarding needs from here on out.”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“Megan was super awesome when I had a bit of a time-crunch-crisis the day before my boarding reservation was about to start. (PSA: don’t do what I did and always make sure you map the location beforehand ?) She also was an amazing communicator while I was away and sent lots of photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“This is the 2nd time Chris watched my Bella. She enjoyed herself. He sent me pictures of her throughout the stay. I had special food for him to feed her, and that was no problem. She will be going back.”
“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””
“Kelsi was so awesome! We needed to modify the schedule a little and she was flexible. Kelsi sent pictures everyday which is important to us. Most importantly, our little guy was happy and calm when he got back home:). Will definitely reach out to Kelsi again!!”
“Lorena and her family were so wonderful when we had an unexpected trip come up and needed boarding for our pup over a long weekend. We appreciated the offer of a Meet ‘n Greet as well as the daily photos she sent. Harper loved running in their fenced-in backyard and seemed like she didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up, hah! We will definitely rebook Lorena for our future petsitting needs.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Hannah provided great care for my dogs, as well as thorough updates, with pictures. The pups seemed to enjoy there time with her and I would not hesitate to take them back!”
“Leo was extremely well taken care of by a loving family. Plenty of space to run and have fun. Thank you Miss Yeni and Mr Ray for taking care of our beloved Leo”
“Rebecca was fantastic. She was a great communicator throughout the entire stay and took wonderful care of Lucy and Ethel. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Luna and Bella. He was so sweet and patient with them, made sure they were fed on time, and always gave them plenty of time outside to play in the yard. He really paid attention to the little details and even gave us helpful recommendations to improve how we care for the dogs, which we truly appreciated. He was always on time, very responsible, and super patient when loading them up. His communication was on point; he kept us updated every day without us even having to ask. We’re so thankful we found him and are already planning to book him again for future pet sitting. Highly recommend!”
“They are great people. They were very understanding with my circumstances. Lola loved it. She was even sitter home sick lol when she came home. Lola love playing and being with the other dogs.”
“Larissa is awesome! She cared for our puppy as if he was her own and we loved it! She made sure she sent plenty of pics of him and always kept us informed. Also Tank and Louie are the cutest and sweetest fur babies. They also took great care of our lil Benji. We’ll definitely be reaching back out to her to sit for our puppy next time we’re in need of overnight boarding 🥰”

“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”
About: I don’t just pop in and feed your cat, I learn their rules for their space, respect their space, and keep their routine locked in so they stay caml and collected while you’re away. Whether they’re shy, clingy, or a tiny menace, I adjust. I notice the small stuff, keep things clean, and send real updates. Medications, special diets, multi-cat drama, surprise hairballs, I adapt and love all the quirks. I earn trust on their terms, fully on cat time. I work for your cat while im in your home. They may run a tight ship but im up to the task! Hired by you, approved by them!
“So thankful for Emmersyn! She did a wonderful job and I am so thankful for all her help. She truly saved our Christmas as I would have been worried about my cat without her dropping in on him : )”
“Rachael watched our fur babies doing our wedding and honeymoon and it was one less thing for me to worry about! I knew they were in great hands and got sweet pictures everyday!”
“April is a pro at this job! She thinks ahead while I-the cat owner - am worried about last minutes things to pack 😊. We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏”
“Rochelle watched our senior cat, Callie, at our home while we were on vacation. She was extremely reliable and trustworthy—sending us daily pictures, videos, and updates. It was easy to tell how much she loves animals and our cat absolutely loved her. She even left us the sweetest letter upon our return summarizing their at-home adventures from week. A great person and a wonderful pet companion. We highly recommend her and will absolutely ask her to sit for us for future trips.”

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in structured, multi-dog environments, including high-energy and working breeds. I currently manage a multi-dog household and am actively involved in dog sports and conformation, which has given me a strong understanding of routine, behavior, conditioning, and proper handling. I am comfortable working with: • High-energy and active breeds • Puppies needing structure and consistency • Senior and special needs dogs • Multi-dog households • Dogs requiring medication My care style focuses on structure, safety, and clear communication. Dogs in my care receive consistent routines, appropriate exercise, and calm, confident handling—not just supervision. I am best suited for clients who value reliable, knowledgeable care and want their dogs maintained in a structured environment while they are away. Pet care is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to ensure they receive timely walks, feeding, exercise, and attention. I maintain reliable availability for bookings while ensuring each dog receives focused, individualized care and a consistent routine. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication in every home I enter. I follow each dogs routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and exercise needs. Dogs are always handled securely on leash unless otherwise specified, and I am attentive to environment, behavior, and stress signals. My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent, and safe environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away.

“Excellent! She is a very nice person that cares about animals and it shows. My dog had a great time at her house. She sent me pictures and videos and I am so grateful for the way she treated our dog. Thanks!!!”
“Connie was great with both my Rottweiler and Cavapoo while I was away on vacation. She kept in constant contact by sending pics of the dogs everyday. She has considerable expertise with large dogs being that while my Rottweiler stayed with her, there were two other Rottweilers who were also boarded and no problems arose at all. She will definitely be the go-to for our boarding needs from here on out.”
“Phillip was an excellent host for my dogs. After previous arrangements fell through at the last minute, Phillip was happy to step up and board them. He stayed in communication with me and sent multiple pics and videos of my furry kids having fun. They looked like they were having so much fun, I wasn’t sure they would want to leave! I would highly recommend Phillip to anybody looking to board their dogs. They will be well cared for while you’re away.”
“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”
“Megan was super awesome when I had a bit of a time-crunch-crisis the day before my boarding reservation was about to start. (PSA: don’t do what I did and always make sure you map the location beforehand ?) She also was an amazing communicator while I was away and sent lots of photos/videos. Highly recommend!”
“This is the 2nd time Chris watched my Bella. She enjoyed herself. He sent me pictures of her throughout the stay. I had special food for him to feed her, and that was no problem. She will be going back.”
“Jeanette is truly a gem! She took care of my dog for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could see how kind, responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her—which says a lot! Jeanette kept me updated with sweet messages and photos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Her home is warm and perfectly set up for pets to feel safe and at ease. I’m beyond grateful for the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pup with her again. Highly, highly recommend!””
“Kelsi was so awesome! We needed to modify the schedule a little and she was flexible. Kelsi sent pictures everyday which is important to us. Most importantly, our little guy was happy and calm when he got back home:). Will definitely reach out to Kelsi again!!”
“Lorena and her family were so wonderful when we had an unexpected trip come up and needed boarding for our pup over a long weekend. We appreciated the offer of a Meet ‘n Greet as well as the daily photos she sent. Harper loved running in their fenced-in backyard and seemed like she didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up, hah! We will definitely rebook Lorena for our future petsitting needs.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Hannah provided great care for my dogs, as well as thorough updates, with pictures. The pups seemed to enjoy there time with her and I would not hesitate to take them back!”

“Rebecca was fantastic. She was a great communicator throughout the entire stay and took wonderful care of Lucy and Ethel. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Luna and Bella. He was so sweet and patient with them, made sure they were fed on time, and always gave them plenty of time outside to play in the yard. He really paid attention to the little details and even gave us helpful recommendations to improve how we care for the dogs, which we truly appreciated. He was always on time, very responsible, and super patient when loading them up. His communication was on point; he kept us updated every day without us even having to ask. We’re so thankful we found him and are already planning to book him again for future pet sitting. Highly recommend!”
“They are great people. They were very understanding with my circumstances. Lola loved it. She was even sitter home sick lol when she came home. Lola love playing and being with the other dogs.”
“Larissa is awesome! She cared for our puppy as if he was her own and we loved it! She made sure she sent plenty of pics of him and always kept us informed. Also Tank and Louie are the cutest and sweetest fur babies. They also took great care of our lil Benji. We’ll definitely be reaching back out to her to sit for our puppy next time we’re in need of overnight boarding 🥰”
