“Great experience for my two girls with Ciara! I got lots of pictures and great communication over the entire week they stayed with her. Would definitely recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a loving family environment for your dogs.”
“Wow! Where do we begin for Ms. Jay! From the moment I reached out to her (just a few days before our trip) she has been SO communicative. We were on a time crunch to find someone we trusted with our pups because this was the first time we had no choice but to leave our babies with a stranger. As soon as we started talking I felt at ease with her watching our three dogs. A couple of days after finding out she was available we set up a meet and greet so our pups felt comfortable with her and her home by the time we dropped them off. As soon as they met her we could tell they were comfortable and almost didn't want to leave her house. From the moment we dropped them off (which was easy and smooth because she has a routine in place after doing it for so many years) we received videos and pictures constantly, everyday! That was extremely comforting to see them having fun, getting cuddles and pets and meeting new friends throughout the week. She made us feel comfortable with giving one of our dogs his medications and offered to clean our bulldogs face if it got too dirty. The most generous thing Ms. Jay did for us was give us a price adjustment for having three dogs because she genuinely loves to pet set and understands it can get expensive with three dogs if you book an actual boarding place. She was SUPER accommodating with our schedule and hers for drop off and pick up. She had their stuff packed up and ready outside by the time we picked them up. It's a definite YES we will be using Ms. Jay in the future. We all LOVE her! - Lauren and Kaylin!”
“We used Allison for the first time for a in-home boarding stay. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and we appreciated knowing she was in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel.”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”
“Matt goes above and beyond and is SO attentive and so thoughtful and dedicated to his pups he babysits. He’s truly incredible. Matt is one of those people that if he does anything, he’s going to do it 100%. Honestly, 110%”
“Abby was a wonderful sitter for my two large Dobermans. The oldest has cancer and the youngest, I admit, is a spoiled handful. Abby was knowledgeable in the handling of both. I recommend her highly.”
“I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!”
“Paul & Terri took such good care of our dog, and communicated frequently and sent many pictures too. He was able to go outside frequently which makes him very happy.”
“Jenn is wonderful. My dog was a member of the family. It was like being at Doggy Camp. She sent photos and kept me informed on Buddy and his stay. I will use her again and highly recommend her!”
“We had an excellent experience with Amy. Communication was clear, easy drop off and pick up and she sent lots of photos of our dog having a blast with her dogs. We will definitely use her again.”
“Teona and Louelyn are the best!! Our dog is blind and needs extra care. They made sure he became familiar with his surroundings and knew where his bowls were located. I especially loved the photos and videos that were sent during the day showing how happy he was. We had full confidence in their caregiving. Would definitely recommend!”
“I had fantastic experience with Kendra B. She sent thoughtful daily updates about my dog’s routine, kept up with his walks and playtime, and made sure he finished his food. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—she even took him on a car ride he loved! It was a pleasant stress free experience that gave me real peace of mind. If you’re looking for a true home-away-from-home, I highly recommend Kendra B, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Peyton was great with communication and pictures. She responded every time I asked her a question. Peyton’s family assists with the dogs as well and they were wonderfully friendly and provided feedback about how my dog did during his stay. My dog got the right amount of play and cuddle time. The yard is huge for the dogs to run and play. I felt like my dog was safe and well loved while we were away. I’ve already booked another week with this lovely family.”
“Ellysia is so kind and warm. She takes such good care of Harley and Harley came home so happy! She’s also very communicative and sent a bunch of goofy photos of Harley! Will definitely book with Ellysia again!”
“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were so lucky to find care for our Bruno at Lyra and Scott's house!! My family was in town for 2 days and needed someone to look after him while we played at the water park. What a perfect stay he had!! Lyra and Scott took really good care of him. They will be our first choice when we come back next year. Thank you, Lyra and Scott!”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and texts to let me know how my fur baby was doing. Her farm is perfect for dogs and she took them on walks around the walking paths.”

About: From the time I could walk, I grew up alongside cats inside and outside my farm-home. When I got to be a bit older, folks in my neighborhood would have me stop by their houses while they were out of town to play, feed, change litter boxes, & cuddle their older cats. When I was around 20, my childhood cat was unfortunately attacked by a dog and I nursed her alongside my mother back to health by keeping her dressings clean, administering medication daily, & keeping her quarantined from the family dog just in-case of further incident. She fully recovered and lived a full, happy life. I am so happy to come and take great care of your feline friends. I know how precious they are to you & your family— and I’d even be happy to spend extra time making sure they get extra cuddles & play time, if requested! ☺️
“Ashlei was a wonderful care giver to Cleo. My fiancée and I took a cruise and were unable to check the Rover app days at a time. She gave us piece of mind by sending updates to the app and to another email with pictures. We couldn’t be more happy with choosing Ashlei!”
“Victoria fell in love with my cats instantly and they warmed up to her so quickly, so I know they were cared for with much love while I was away! Communication was fast, seamless, and much appreciated.”
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
“Caitlyn was awesome in taking care of our elderly cat. She was dependable and took care of our cat as if it was her own. We highly recommend her and will be calling on her again.”
“Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.”
About: I love caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat enjoys playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll provide patient, attentive care while keeping them comfortable in their own home. I’ll make sure they’re fed, their litter box is clean, and they receive plenty of affection, on their terms.
About: I have had cats since I was little, so I am very familiar with them! I provide calm, personalized care that respects each cat’s unique personality, routine, and boundaries.

With attentive observation and reliable communication, I strive to be a quiet, trusted presence that helps your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Kat was beyond amazing ! Was able to take care of our dogs short notice on a holiday weekend. Great communication and the pups had a great time. Will be rebooking in the future for sure!”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”

I have a fully fenced in yard where my friendly pups love to play and a puppy proofed home. Pets are welcome anywhere people are allowed, including furniture. My 2 dachshunds are super outgoing with other dogs and can keep up with big dogs! In a client’s home I will take into account any of the house rules of the pet parents.

“We were so great full to have found her and that she was able to care for our little fellow in our time of need. She provided wonderful care for him. She has several bigger dogs on site but they were very friendly and didn’t even bark. Our little guy was surfers from a bit of anxiety when we leave him anywhere. I think he was secretly proud of himself for hanging with the big dogs. We don’t have to leave him often but I will give Becca a call again when we have the need.”

“We’ve had Peyton care for our horses, cats and dogs for years, long before she joined River. Never had a problem and she’s always provided a secure, loving caring and healthy environment for our pets and animals. She adores animals, and is very knowledgeable in their care and training.”
“Ayme took Hugo for a doggie day care break today! We asked her at short notice, and she obliged. Hugo loves playing with Ayme’s fur-babies, and judging by the photos and video, he had a blast 😊 Thank you so much for the love and attention you and your kind husband give to our dog, I’m so glad we found you! 💕”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?

“Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!”
About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own

“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup.

About: Growing up on a small farm with cats & high-energy pups, I ended-up gaining experience as the neighborhood dog & cat sitter in my as a teenager. It was my favorite job I’ve ever had! ☺️ This included stops-in for daily walks, cuddle-times, & feedings; ensuring they play & move when their owners are away. Occasionally administering medications: (including medications that require a needle), and much more. As I got older, I gained experience working in a Veterinarian office. I’ve spent a lot of time with animals of all sizes and temperaments in these environments, including end of life care. I also have my own at home: two old boys. One sweet & feisty, almost thirteen-year-old blind and (nearly entirely) deaf Dachshund named Woody, who loves to be cuddled. Then, there’s my nearly ten-year-old American Foxhound sweetheart, Popeye, who wants to do nothing but play and be told how much of a “good boy” he is. They’re the best boys anyone could ask for. I look forward to hearing from you and how I can help! ☺️ I do same-day bookings for walks. Extra play-time, snuggles, and pets await. Currently, I am home, in-between waiting for Medical Assistant Certification classes to start in January, after 6 years of being a stay-at-home-mother. I am available 8:30AM-3:30PM & 5PM-8PM on M,T,W,TH,F & 8AM-8PM on S&S. I am extremely communicative and committed to respecting the boundaries of your home. If there are specifics to how you would like me to enter & lock your home, then it will be done. As far as taking care of your pets, they will be loved, played with, treated as if they are my own, and fed, walked, & watered (if specified for the job).

Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a fun walk to burn some energy, or just some company and cuddles, I’m here to help! I also have plenty of experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, including pills, topical treatments, and even more specific care needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in gentle, capable hands. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit so you can see how your pet is doing and feel connected while you’re away. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both you and your pets feel comfortable and happy. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! 🐶🐱💕
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, so I have experience with just about every stage of pet life, from puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable with basic training, quick drop-ins, longer stays, and pets with more specific care needs. I grew up in the country with a pack of Australian Shepherds, so I'm very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the occasional four-legged escape artist. These days, I have five cats of my own, and my fiancé and I also rescue cats and kittens, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with feline care too. That includes everything from confident, social cats to shy, nervous, or newly rescued kitties who may need a little more patience while they get comfortable. My home also makes it easy to give pets their own separate, quiet areas when needed, which is especially helpful for shy animals, cats, pets who aren't comfortable around others, or those who simply prefer some privacy. I also have experience caring for pets recovering from surgery or dealing with temporary mobility and medication needs. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention rather than leaving your pet alone for long stretches. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my day around caring for my own animals. I’m home throughout the day, which makes it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications, check-ins, and plenty of attention without pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m also used to adjusting my routine around an animal’s individual needs. Whether that means an early breakfast, extra walks for an energetic puppy, a quiet afternoon with a senior pet, or giving a shy cat time and space to settle in, I have the flexibility to make their normal routine part of mine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and low-stress as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, sleeping arrangements, and any household rules your pet is used to. Because I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. That means I’m available for regular walks, extra potty breaks, drop-ins, play sessions, and check-ins rather than trying to squeeze pet care around a traditional office schedule. I’m happy to match your dog’s usual walking routine, whether that means a quick neighborhood loop or a longer walk to burn off some energy. In my home, I’m able to section off different rooms and areas as needed, which is especially helpful for pets who need privacy, a quiet place to decompress, or separation from other animals. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s established routine. I want them to feel like life is continuing as normally as possible while you’re away, with plenty of attention and supervision. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their care so you have the peace of mind of knowing how they’re doing while you’re away.

“Great experience for my two girls with Ciara! I got lots of pictures and great communication over the entire week they stayed with her. Would definitely recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a loving family environment for your dogs.”
“We used Allison for the first time for a in-home boarding stay. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and we appreciated knowing she was in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel.”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Matt goes above and beyond and is SO attentive and so thoughtful and dedicated to his pups he babysits. He’s truly incredible. Matt is one of those people that if he does anything, he’s going to do it 100%. Honestly, 110%”
“Abby was a wonderful sitter for my two large Dobermans. The oldest has cancer and the youngest, I admit, is a spoiled handful. Abby was knowledgeable in the handling of both. I recommend her highly.”
“I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!”
“Jenn is wonderful. My dog was a member of the family. It was like being at Doggy Camp. She sent photos and kept me informed on Buddy and his stay. I will use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Teona and Louelyn are the best!! Our dog is blind and needs extra care. They made sure he became familiar with his surroundings and knew where his bowls were located. I especially loved the photos and videos that were sent during the day showing how happy he was. We had full confidence in their caregiving. Would definitely recommend!”
“Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Peyton was great with communication and pictures. She responded every time I asked her a question. Peyton’s family assists with the dogs as well and they were wonderfully friendly and provided feedback about how my dog did during his stay. My dog got the right amount of play and cuddle time. The yard is huge for the dogs to run and play. I felt like my dog was safe and well loved while we were away. I’ve already booked another week with this lovely family.”
“Ellysia is so kind and warm. She takes such good care of Harley and Harley came home so happy! She’s also very communicative and sent a bunch of goofy photos of Harley! Will definitely book with Ellysia again!”
“We were so lucky to find care for our Bruno at Lyra and Scott's house!! My family was in town for 2 days and needed someone to look after him while we played at the water park. What a perfect stay he had!! Lyra and Scott took really good care of him. They will be our first choice when we come back next year. Thank you, Lyra and Scott!”
“Savannah was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and texts to let me know how my fur baby was doing. Her farm is perfect for dogs and she took them on walks around the walking paths.”
About: I am an experienced dog parent with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Having recently lost our high-energy Staffy, I'm deeply familiar with the dedication required to keep active dogs exercised, stimulated, and happy. I work from home, so your dog will benefit from constant supervision, plenty of indoor attention, and consistent daily walks. Whether your pup needs rigorous exercise or just a cozy spot to hang out while you're away, they will be in safe, loving hands with me Working at the house gives me complete control over my daily schedule, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my routine. My day is built around morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as regular yard time and structured play breaks. Because I'm home all day, guest dogs get constant supervision, consistent potty schedules, and plenty of affection to help distract me from work. In my home, guest pets are treated just like family. I closely follow every owner's explicit instructions for feeding schedules, house rules, and special needs to keep their routine as consistent as possible
“This is the first time I used Rover and left Hercules to be taken care by someone who was not part of the family. He is a senior and very into his ways so I was apprehensive about how he would take it. From the photos Cyndi provides daily I could tell in the first day he was relaxed and really into Cyndi. She took a great care of him and it was great to have daily updates and a place where he does need to share with other dogs. I would highly recommend Cyndi and I will definitely book more stays with her.”
“My dog, who is an escape artist, was well protected in yard with a sturdy fence. He received a lot of activity, play time with other animals and cuddles. I was able to leave my cat with Becca as well. This was of great comfort to me knowing my cat and dog, who are buddies, could stay together. I highly recommend her services.”
