“Walter and his family are amazing! We are new pet owners and they let us come over for a meet and greet prior to booking to help calm our nerves. Our puppy was excited to be there with his caring children. He would give us updates with pictures and videos throughout her stay. When our flight was delayed and diverted to another airport, Walter was gracious enough to have her stay one more day. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! We look forward to working with you and your beautiful family again soon!”
“Cindy and her family are the absolute best! She was able to get us in on short notice. My baby girl is always so happy to see her and hang out with her friends. She takes such good care of her. We will definitely use her again. 🥰”
“I cannot thank Michelle and her family enough for watching Bella multiple times! Michelle is great with sending pictures, and keeping me updated as to how she is doing, Of course Bella loves to cuddle with the entire family as well. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Alexsys took great care of our very elderly dog, Toby. She kept in touch with us about how he was doing and sent pictures daily. We really appreciated the care and communication she gave him and us.”
“We recently moved to NOVA from Midlothian and had to find a new Rover Ally to watch our 2 sweet Goldens- We used someone who lived in the same town and it did not go well at all so we were very nervous about leaving them again with anyone else. I can hands down say this was one of our best Rover experiences ever!! Joel and Janelle have a beautiful place with a large grassy fenced yard! They sent periodic incredible “action” pictures and our Goldens did not seemed stressed at all when we picked them up. We are looking forward to our stay with them early next month.”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“My dogs love Tamara, she takes amazing care of them. I was recently gone for two weeks and during that time my senior dog needed a visit to the vet for medicine and Tamara had no issues taking him in and getting his medicine for him. Such great peace of mind when your dogs are in good hands and well taken care of. Thanks, Tamara!”
“Katherine was a great host to my two very dissimilar dogs. They enjoyed the open space that was provided. She provided effective communication before during and after their stay. I will definitely use her service again and recommend.”
“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“We highly recommend Chris and plan on using him again for years to come. This was the first time our 2 year old shih tzu had been away from home but Pepper felt immediately at home. We got daily pictures and Pepper went on lots of fun walks in different parks. Chris had also made a window perch for Pepper so he could also look out the window. Chris works from home and only takes one dog at a time so Pepper had lots of attention. Chris was responsive to our questions and followed our instructions.”
“Bella is the best. My Summit was well taken care of for the week. Daily pics and videos helped bridge that gap of separation. Highly recommend and will be using her again in the near future.”
“Charity is wonderful with my pup and he loves her - he runs into her house without a backwards glance. And I love the pictures she sends. We never worry about him when he is with Charity.”
“Jessica was wonderful, I’m not sure my poodle missed me at all. She sent me regular updates, pictures and videos. Sometimes he was happily lap sitting. Sometimes she videoed him playing with toys her dog or interacting with her family. I was gone 10 days. I was happy to see him doing so well. He is a picky eater so I had sent cubed up chicken breast to mix with his food. When she ran out she cooked him another, which was going way above what I expected. I would definitely take my dog to Jessica again.”
“Gabby was absolutely wonderful throughout our entire trip. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and communicated clearly from the moment we booked. She went above and beyond by sending us regular pictures and updates of our dog while we were on vacation, which gave us a lot of peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. She was flexible, accommodating, and genuinely seemed to care about our dog’s comfort and routine. Overall, the experience was excellent, and we truly appreciated everything she did to make the stay smooth and stress-free. We would gladly book with her again!”
“Linda did an amazing job watching our little pup Bentley. We were gone for 5 days and she accommodated us with even picking him up a bit early. Bentley has only been with us for 4 months so we weren't sure how it would go. It went amazing. So much so he even looked a little sad to be leaving Linda. She gave updates even when I wasn't able to ask or get right back with her. Bentley has a bit of a finicky stomach and has zero problems since we brought him home. Linda is very kind and attentive not only to the needs of Bentley but ours too. We definitely will be back when we plan our family trip next year. I can't tell her thank you enough. She truly put all my worries at ease. No question that she was the perfect pick for us and Bentley. Thank you again Linda!”
About: I provide a clean, cozy, and loving home where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Our fully fenced backyard offers plenty of space for supervised play, exercise, and fresh air, while the indoors is a calm, comfortable environment with lots of attention and affection. We also have two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other pets and help create a welcoming atmosphere. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply relax, they’ll receive personalized care, plenty of love, and the attention they deserve throughout their stay. I’m a full time stay in home mom, who will be home most of the time to provide potty breaks and will be able to be close to pets. I have a fenced back yard. And all areas of my home are gated. Your dog will be kept in a comfortable free space. I can provide a more personal crate if required.
“Could not have asked for a better experience. I could tell my dog was well loved and cared for. Tara has great communication and provided daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use her time and time again.”
“Min and Matthew are so awesome! Daily photos and updates of my dog’s time with them gave me such peace while I was away. Their love for him and care for him was top notch in every way.”
“What can I say? Sarah was fantastic! The whole experience was so easy and wonderful for our dog. Sarah was flexible and very responsive. Super accommodating. She kept us supplied with lots of updates and photos during the whole visit. Our hound sometimes has anxiety during new experiences but she was so well cared for that she felt immediately at ease when we arrived and through the whole visit. Sarah and her wonderful family took such good care of her that I would absolutely want my dog to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Allison was fantastic with my two cats this weekend! Timely, communicative, and trustworthy :) She was also great about my last-minute booking, since I’d just moved to the area and had to unexpectedly be out of town. Would book her again!”
“Lauren was excellent! We initially did a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable with her. She ended up watching our cat for a week while we were away on vacation. She did a great job! She checked in with me every day and provided pictures and feedback. I will be using Lauren in the future anytime I need pet sitting.”
“Megan was great! She sent pictures for each visit showing us the food and water were filled and litter boxes were clean, and of course pictures of the cats! Our cats can be picky with who they come downstairs for, especially our boy, so seeing that he came downstairs when she was visiting made us feel great about choosing Megan as our sitter. We will definitely rebook!”
“Kim is an angel. We hired her to watch our 3 cats (it seems we are collecting them at this point) for a week while we went to the beach. We had her drop in twice a day, as one of our recent rescues is underweight and on a special eating schedule. Kim sent thoughtful message updates as well as tonnssss of photos of our babies. One of our cats is very skiddish around people she doesn’t know and it was a huge surprise to receive photos of her welcoming company and even rolling over for belly pets! Kim went above and beyond for us in multiple ways, outside of simply visiting and feeding. We can’t thank you enough, Kim!”
“This was our third time booking Alexys, and as long as she’s willing to keep coming back, we’ll keep booking her! She takes fantastic care of our cats every time!”
“J June was great she took care of my fur baby like it was one of her own she went above and beyond the call of duty I did not have to hold her hand she pretty much took the situation and ran with it I will highly recommend her to all of my friends”
“Willow and Finn were well taken care of while left alone. I didn’t see evidence of them throwing any parties. Ha. Heather was attentive and communicated during each v. will use again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with this Hailey! This was our first time using Rover to book a cat sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly cares deeply about animals. Her communication was excellent throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Tess did an amazing job sitting for our pups. Punctual, very communicative, and most importantly our dogs were tuckered out at the end of the day. Will definitely hire again, A++ reliable sitter!”
“Sarah and Rover was such a good choice for us. 3 catz, each with distinct needs requires a special touch, and Sarah has that, and more! We are 100% satisfied with this service and will use Sarah for our pets again. Kudos to Rover!”
About: Grew up dog sitting many different breeds and ages. Had a beagle myself growing up. While in the military and overseas I got my German shepherd. I fostered a pitt, Frenchie, and a mastiff overseas as well. Very comfortable providing care needed and medication.

I live in a great area where I can walk and care for different animals. Your animals will feel very safe with me caring for them.

“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Alexsys took amazing care of Louie! We are so happy with the love and affection her and her son gave him all day. We will definitely be using her services anytime we need!”
“Gabby was an awesome Dog Sitter. I could tell from the moment she met my dogs that she was going to be a great sitter. She sent me pictures throughout their day to keep me updated. Would definitely recommend.”
“Shaghayegh made Tucker feel right at home. He went into her house happy and excited. I received photos of their walk. I’m happy and I highly recommend Shaghayegh.”
“Lauren was amazing with our two pups! She clearly cared about making sure they got what they needed while enforcing boundaries which we appreciated. She sent lots of photos and it was clear that our pups had a blast. Thank you!”
About: Dog care certified in Argentina, as an animal lover I want to pursue career caring for them. Since young, I used to spend a lot of time in dog walks and parks with them. I believe now, I can provide them the perfect environment of a fenced backyard of 10.000 sqf. I love to exercise and pamper pups and we're easy to reach, even for a last-minute need. With some dog training experience and a lot of love for dogs, I look forward to taking care of your family member like one of our own. Depending on your pup's needs, I will take long playtime or jogs with your dog. If your furry family member just needs companionship and loving attention, I am happy to provide that kind of care, too. Photos of your dog will be shared with you throughout their visit. I love to send lots of pictures of my guests. My house is generally a cage-free environment, but will use your crates if that is what your pup is used to at home. I have a couple of gates to use as necessary to separate dogs during meals and to give them a large, safe play area in our home.
“My dog is very shy and has separation anxiety but Sarah made her feel right at home. I could see from the pictures and videos just how great of a time she was having. I’ll definitely be brining her back!”
“Haejin & Herscel were wondering caretakers! They were open to taking my dog for daycare a few days before and treated her so well. I liked that they only take a few dogs a day to reduce exposure and ensure they are all being watched. I loved the occasional photo and video updates, which her other daycare doesn't do it all. She came home very tired from playing all day, which was exactly what we wanted. I look forward to using them again!”
“Wonderful sitter! You can tell she really cares about her campers. We have our baby scheduled with her for a long weekend and I fully trust her to provide excellent care. My little baby is my pride and joy :)”
“Jaclyn always does a great job taking care of Charlie. Provides an update mid-day and sometimes sends him home with a surprise! We love knowing that he loves to visit her home.”
About: I have always had a deep love and affection for animals, and I am lucky enough to have three fur babies of my own. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of finding someone reliable and trustworthy to care for our furry friends while we are away. That's why I am excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care that I give to my own dogs, and will make sure that they are happy and comfortable while in my care. Whether it's walking, feeding, or just providing some extra TLC, I am dedicated to making sure that your pets are well taken care of. If you are in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter, I would love the opportunity to be of service. My husband and I both work from home so we are able to provide bathroom breaks, cuddles and attention all day long for our fur guests. For drop in visits we can come during our lunch hour and right after work! I am able to provide food, medications, love, cuddles, time outside, play time, and make sure they are taken care of to the fullest extent during their visit with my family.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly can't imagine life without them. I currently have two dogs and three cats, and I've been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy while always being supervised. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine.

I can accommodate your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Whether it's a weekend stay, daytime care, or drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet gets the love and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, along with two friendly dogs and three cats who are accustomed to being around other animals. Every pet is introduced carefully, and if your pet is more comfortable having their own space, I'm happy to keep them separated. I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as you provide them. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family. I know how hard it is to leave your pet, so I make it a priority to send updates, photos, and videos so you always know how they're doing.
“Taking on a totally unknown dog from a cross-country road trip, IS a risk. We knew our senior dog Ginger would likely be stressed: 1st from the trip, and 2nd to be left with a stranger, in an unfamiliar environment. Linda really seems to love the dogs, she had 1-2 fosters there when we arrived (not sure, as I think I only saw 1). While I'm sure it was hard on both of them, we do sincerely appreciate her taking on our dog for a few hours, so that we could attend the wedding of an old family friend. If you read this Linda, I am interested in that food you had there for your fosters. Please shoot me a message, I may look at ordering it to try next time. Thanks again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Bailey receives during his time with Michelle. From the moment we met, I knew our sweet boy was in good hands! Michelle is very professional, kind, friendly, welcoming and clearly loves animals! I received several updates with pictures and messages. It is clear Bailey is treated like family with plenty of attention and playtime with her sweet dog Sadie!! I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their fur baby!”
About: hello future clients, Dogs have always captured my heart, even before I could walk! My family raised a variety of dog breeds throughout my childhood, and as soon as I started high school, I got my own furry friend! I'm glad to make new doggo pals and often watch dogs for families and friends in the DMV region while they're away! My schedule is fully flexible because I work from home as my own business owner! I would be pleased to pay your fur baby a visit whenever it works best for their schedule. Also, I have a puppers of my own. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood, with walking trails and dog parks. where your dog can run, make friends and play in a safe controlled environment. I will happy send you picture and video updates of your sweet doggo! I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions and give them treats while I'm there!
“Barbara was polite, thoughtful, and kind. She texted to let us know how he was doing about halfway through the appointment, and she shared a cute picture. I would definitely book with her again and certainly recommend her!”
About: My wife & I grew up with pets all kinds and recently we adopted a dog from a rescue and that spark has been reignited of what we've been missing.

My Wife home schools and I currently work part-time so someone will always be home to monitor your pet/pets. We have been told that recent pets we've sitted are in heaven when their in our home.

“Lauren has been walking my newly adopted dog for a couple of weeks of now and it really puts my mind at ease when I have longer work days. She works with me on arrival time and I always get a report card ! I trust Lauren coming into my home and I am very pleased!!”
“Thank you so much for your amazing care of our pups! Kimberly is, punctual, communicative, and took great care of our dogs. I will be requesting your services whenever I need a walker. 100% recommend.”
“Such an amazing dog walker! My dog absolutely LOVES her. She’s always on time, caring, and attentive with our pup. We feel so lucky to have found her. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Jennifer did an amazing job! She gave us piece of mind knowing that our dog was taken care of while we explored DC. She was very thoughtful with our pup on the extreme temperatures too!”
About: Everyone calls me when they need a reliable and dedicated pair of hands to watch over their children. Yes, I treat every dog like a furry child. I've helped raise dogs from 6 weeks to 16 years old. The young and the old need a little more attention and I'm happy to help. Those terrible 2's just need extra attention, and I'm happy to provide that too! I love all animals and will probably treat the kids like royalty. I prefer the company of dogs than my friends, they could vouch for that! I'm both loving and also stern because I've raised both labs and pitties. They require different types of parenting techniques, and I am equipped to handle anything. I work full time, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. I'm happy to use my work breaks to check on animals for those who need the extra attention. My availability will be based around my work and my 2 kiddos at home. I can adjust weekly routines to incorporate pickup/drop offs, stop in visits, after work walks, or overnight stays. I treat dogs like they are our kids. I talk to them, I cuddle with them, and I use positive reinforcement to train good habits. I've helped raise a dozen dogs and each dog likes to show you how they like to be treated. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was raising dogs and had to learn different techniques to train each of them individually. Labs learn and function much different than bulldogs and pitbulls. I treat each dog the same regardless of size or attitude. Though I may give them some attitude when mouth off, like I do with my pitty at home (lol). I'm a safety first kind of person when it comes to our kids. So I tend to lean on the side of caution and extra equipment when interacting with most dogs. I always keep extra dogs supplies in my truck at all times as I have been known to that guy who stops traffic to try to rescue a dog. I've done this probably 6 or 7 times.

About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I'm passionate about keeping them happy and active with fun walks. I also have experience managing multiple dogs on walks. I’m currently in summer break so I have more free time than usual and I always wake up early to take my own dogs out. I always take my dogs out 3 times a day morning, evening and night. As well as giving them ample food and water in the mornings and evenings. And of course we can talk more about how I can better take care of your pup.

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and genuine care I give every dog like they’re my own. I understand that every pup has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because I’m home often, I’m able to keep dogs on their normal routines as much as possible, whether that means regular feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, or simply providing a calm and comfortable environment. I enjoy having animals around and make sure they get lots of interaction, affection, and personalized care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to.
“Selena is great! She's so friendly and thoughtful with her updates on how walks went and taking photos to show my dog is having fun. Definitely happy to have found her, and very grateful for the help!!”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was young, with over 20 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and those needing a little extra patience or special care. I understand that every animal has its own personality, and I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your pets are treated like family. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. This schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need without feeling rushed, whether that’s exercise, playtime, or simply keeping them company. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have a clean and pet-friendly space and treat every animal as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. Whether in my home or yours, I’m dependable, gentle, and detail-oriented. I’m also experienced with deep cleaning, litter box maintenance, and ensuring a stress-free environment so pets stay happy and healthy while you’re away.

I do not currently have a fenced in yard, but I provide walks and potty breaks by walking on a leash as needed. I live close to 2 dog park’s and I love to take them there to burn off energy ( as long as dog parks are not an overwhelming experience and the owner agrees it is ok to visit one ), I also enjoy bringing them along as a running and hiking buddy on the several nature trails near me. If I am watching a pet in their own home, I will just keep up with the normal routine as stated by the owner, and of course always check with you to make sure any new activities we try are ok

“Alexsys took great care of our very elderly dog, Toby. She kept in touch with us about how he was doing and sent pictures daily. We really appreciated the care and communication she gave him and us.”
“We recently moved to NOVA from Midlothian and had to find a new Rover Ally to watch our 2 sweet Goldens- We used someone who lived in the same town and it did not go well at all so we were very nervous about leaving them again with anyone else. I can hands down say this was one of our best Rover experiences ever!! Joel and Janelle have a beautiful place with a large grassy fenced yard! They sent periodic incredible “action” pictures and our Goldens did not seemed stressed at all when we picked them up. We are looking forward to our stay with them early next month.”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“Katherine was a great host to my two very dissimilar dogs. They enjoyed the open space that was provided. She provided effective communication before during and after their stay. I will definitely use her service again and recommend.”
“Erin is an incredible dog sitter! She genuinely loves your pet and takes such good care of them. Her whole family are so loving and caring. She made us feel so assured that our pup was in good hands and provided updates throughout our trip. We would recommend Erin to anyone!!”
“Jessica was wonderful, I’m not sure my poodle missed me at all. She sent me regular updates, pictures and videos. Sometimes he was happily lap sitting. Sometimes she videoed him playing with toys her dog or interacting with her family. I was gone 10 days. I was happy to see him doing so well. He is a picky eater so I had sent cubed up chicken breast to mix with his food. When she ran out she cooked him another, which was going way above what I expected. I would definitely take my dog to Jessica again.”
“Gabby was absolutely wonderful throughout our entire trip. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and communicated clearly from the moment we booked. She went above and beyond by sending us regular pictures and updates of our dog while we were on vacation, which gave us a lot of peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. She was flexible, accommodating, and genuinely seemed to care about our dog’s comfort and routine. Overall, the experience was excellent, and we truly appreciated everything she did to make the stay smooth and stress-free. We would gladly book with her again!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience. I could tell my dog was well loved and cared for. Tara has great communication and provided daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use her time and time again.”
“What can I say? Sarah was fantastic! The whole experience was so easy and wonderful for our dog. Sarah was flexible and very responsive. Super accommodating. She kept us supplied with lots of updates and photos during the whole visit. Our hound sometimes has anxiety during new experiences but she was so well cared for that she felt immediately at ease when we arrived and through the whole visit. Sarah and her wonderful family took such good care of her that I would absolutely want my dog to stay with her again. Highly recommend!”
“I was looking for a place to board Sake that was a mid-point between my home to Bryce Mountain to go skiing. I found Maki who was on the way to the slopes. She was very accommodating when I forgot the dry food (Mom Brain), but luckily I brought enough wet food for Sake's meals. I appreciate they were very patient with Sake trying to sleep in her crate at night while I am attempting to crate train her. I was worried she might be howling most of the night, but surprisingly, Sake ended up napping inside her crate after we got home today. This is a new behavior for Sake which I am so happy to see!!!! This is a good sign that she is dreaming of all the fun walks and attention she got from Maki and her family. She shared photos and informed me on all of her walks, her desire to chase a squirrel, and when she peed, pooped, finished her meals, got several belly rubs and chilled at the house. I highly recommend you go to Maki whenever you need boarding. She is conveniently located on the way to the slopes. Upon pick up, her son was kind to carry the crate out to my car and place it in my trunk. I noticed that Sake's belongings were neatly folded, cleaned and organized inside the overnight bag. Sake will definitely return when I need to go back to the mountains for the weekend or day when I am not able to bring her with me. Thank you for taking good care of her. When I see Sake sleeping well after her visit from boarding, that is a positive sign that she had an awesome time with the family.”
“Jennifer was great with our dog. My dog is fussy about car rides but Jennifer worked with my dog and made her feel comfortable. She was on time and flexible with pickup and dropoff.”
“Allison was great with our boys! One of my dogs has a needy diet and Allison was more than willing to make the rice and provide for them with no questions asked! She sent us pictures throughout their stay and updated us when needed!”
“First time using Kristen! Wonderful property and amazing staff. Gave us updates daily and our 2 babies were happy healthy and loved their stay. I would give 10 stars if I could! Outstanding service. Thank you Kristen and Rover!”
“Anahita was a life saver for me this past weekend. She was able to care for Sammy with last minute notice, which I really appreciated. I like the fact that she has other dogs because Sammy is very social and likes to play with other dogs. Apparently he got along with her dogs just fine and that makes me happy. He needed some socialization. She sent photos throughout Sammy’s stay in her home. When I picked Sammy up the next day, he seemed very calm and relaxed. He was pretty calm the rest of the evening which was great. I expected a little anxiety when I returned but Sammy seemed peaceful on the drive back home. I think that Anahita’s calm, caring and peaceful personality played a huge part. I appreciate that so much. She pays attention to details that are important to the dog for a successful stay, but is not overly anxious. Thank you so much, Anahita, for caring for Sammy for me. I was able to relax and have a great overnight trip without worrying about Sammy! We will be repeat customers for sure!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly can't imagine life without them. I currently have two dogs and three cats, and I've been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy while always being supervised. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of one-on-one attention, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I can accommodate your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. Whether it's a weekend stay, daytime care, or drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet gets the love and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a large, fully fenced yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, along with two friendly dogs and three cats who are accustomed to being around other animals. Every pet is introduced carefully, and if your pet is more comfortable having their own space, I'm happy to keep them separated. I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special requests exactly as you provide them. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family. I know how hard it is to leave your pet, so I make it a priority to send updates, photos, and videos so you always know how they're doing.
“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”
“Thank you for you kindness, flexibility, and great care of Aspen! Aspen always enjoys being with Kelly, even though she doesn’t like being away from home. Thanks also for the pictures you send of her-so nice to see when away.”
