“This was Dandy’s first stay with Cathleen and we already have another stay booked. She took care of our small, elderly dog and rolled with it when she still had to wear a cone to finish some healing that took longer than expected post surgery. She clearly adores dogs and puts them first. She’s also good at managing nervous pet parents! 🥰”
“Matt took good care of Clio while I was traveling internationally. He was great at communicating and shared photos and videos throughout the stay. It helped me deal with missing my pup and feeling good that she was enjoying herself with the pack. Having his dogs and others to play with, and a dog-friendly environment (home and yard) was great.”
“Maria is my go to. I can't speak highly enough of how great she is, how much my dog loves her, and how sad he is to leave the friends he makes. I am a repeat customer for good reasons.”
“Our dog has stayed with Shamaeka a couple times now and always has the best time with her and her dog! He was so excited when we dropped him off! Shamaeka always sends lots of videos and pictures and keeps us updated!”
“Rachael was great. She provided me regular updates on my pup while he stayed with her, which I very much appreciated. She also responded to any and all of my communications quickly and was very flexible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Fantastic!! We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our two Yorkies received, and getting daily updates was a great comfort….will definitely use their service again!”
“Steven and Rachel took great care of Daisy! They sent us plenty of updates and responded quickly to any questions. Daisy had a blast playing with their Daisy and they took care of her additional health requests. We’ll definitely ask them to watch her again the next time we go on a trip :)”
“Brianna was fantastic with Dune. She kept me updated with frequent pictures and videos. He was playing, napping, and didn’t appear stressed or anxious at all. Overall, she did an excellent job! Thank you.”
“Ruslana did a wonderful job with our little Bear. He looked so happy and contented in all the pictures that she sent to us and we really appreciated her active care of him. Ruslana went above and beyond with Bear’s care. We had wanted Bear to be all cleaned up for Ruslana, so we had him bathed and groomed before dropping him off. The Groomer had shaved Bear’s face too closely and had scraped his skin. Ruslana was attentive to his needs and notified us very quickly. She proposed getting a cone to keep him from scratching so he could heal up. After talking this thru, she ordered the cone and cared for all his needs. We are extremely happy with all Ruslana did for our BearBear and would give her our highest possible recommendation. Sally and Doug Thimm 801-699-7507”
“Danielle and Joy were awesome with Bella! It was our first time using Rover with Bella and Danielle and Joy sent lots of updates and pictures. Bella looked like she enjoyed spending time with them a lot and even gave them a good bye kiss when we picked her up. They were also really attentive to any food and diet requirements and went above and beyond! Would highly recommend and book again!”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“Seth took such great care of my dog Peaches. He sent updates and pictures everyday and was a great communicator. We would definitely use him again and would recommend him to anyone to watch their furry friends!”
About: Why send your pet to a chaotic, crowded kennel when they can enjoy a peaceful, customized staycation? I intentionally limit my home boarding to a maximum of two dogs per day to ensure your fur baby gets 100% of my focus, care, and attention. All dog sizes are welcome here! As a dedicated, lifelong pet lover, I offer specialized care that larger boarding facilities simply cannot match. I am highly experienced in senior dog care and feel completely comfortable managing gentle, slow-paced routines, monitoring mobility, and administering oral or topical medications. On the flip side, if you have a high-energy puppy, I possess the immense patience required to maintain their potty-training schedules, reinforce positive behaviors, and provide safe socialization. Your pet will enjoy a cozy, safe home environment packed with: Endless TLC: Lots of couch cuddles, belly rubs, and dedicated playtime. Daily Adventures: Long, stimulating walks tailored entirely to your dog's energy level or age. Peace & Quiet: A calm, structured environment perfect for anxious or spoiled pets. I provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your baby is being treated like royalty! My daily routine is built entirely around the comfort and activity of my guests. Because I limit my home to just two dogs at a time, your pet becomes a member of the household, not just a visitor. My mornings always start with a long, brisk walk to burn off energy and get the day moving. Throughout the day, your pet is by my side—whether I’m working at home, reading, or relaxing, they get constant companionship and engagement. I don’t follow a 'kennel' schedule; I follow your pet's lead, ensuring they get their preferred nap times, play sessions, and the consistent, loving environment they are used to at home. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a gentle stroll or a playful pup ready for a game of fetch, their needs dictate my rhythm. I work right around the corner from the house, so am available all day! Because I exclusively offer boarding in my own home, your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I treat my home as a secure, low-stress sanctuary. For dogs, this means full freedom in a clean, pet-friendly environment where they are never left unattended for long periods and are treated like family. I also offer a spa-day touch: for a small additional fee, I am happy to give your pup a refreshing bath right before pick-up so they return home smelling clean and fresh! For cat guests who prefer peace and quiet, I provide a completely separate, dedicated room equipped with everything they need to feel safe and relaxed away from the pups. I am highly vigilant about maintaining separate feeding areas, monitoring group dynamics, and strictly following the specific care, medication, and dietary routines you provide. Your pet will have continuous supervision, structured play, and a cozy spot to sleep every single night.
“We love boarding our dog with Melissa and Allan!! We always get the most thoughtful updates and know that our dog is getting awesome care. They are always our first choice!”
“Kevin and his partner were fantastic! They took excellent care of Edgar while I was gone, and pampered him to boot! Edgar was very sad to leave Kevin's side, and he had to be carried out.”
“Tomas was super patient with my shy pup - I could tell by the photos and videos that after a few days warming up, she was settled in, calm, comfortable, and having a blast playing with his dog! I felt reassured by the daily updates and check-ins, and would leave Zula in his care again in a heartbeat!”
“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”
“Brenda is awesome. She gave our two pups the BEST weekend while we were gone. Brenda goes above and beyond, and we will 1,000% be calling her again. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Brenda!!”
“Ana was absolutely amazing. As someone who misses their pup while traveling, Ana was a dream sitter. Always sharing quick check-ins with photos so I knew my pup was doing just fine. She even took the time to read my dogs profile and understand her little quirks. When I had travel delays she was super communicative, and flexible. From meet & greet to pickup, I had a great experience with Ana, and would definitely recommend.”
“Randsell watched Milo while we were on a 7 day cruise. She sent lots of photos and videos, and took him on lots of walks and gave him a lot of attention. We would definitely rebook her when we're in the area again!”

“Hannah was great, she took good care of our kitty while we were out of town. She was communicative and sent photos every day. Would definitely have her again.”
“Jody was amazing! She is the cat whisperer. Our cat is very shy around strangers. Jody was patient and our cat immediately warmed up to her! I loved getting photos of our cat and commentary on how she was doing. Definitely made me feel at ease. Highly recommend Jody!”
“We are very grateful to have found Lisa because she is everything we could hope for in a pet sitter. During our initial meet and greet, she was attentive, professional, and took time to get to know our pets and their routines. She inspired confidence from the start, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. Thank you, Lisa!”
“Jacob looked in on our young cat for 5 days the first time we left her alone. He is a natural with animals. Our experience was great! Cat did great with him and we would definely book Jacob in the future!”
“Mel is amazing at bringing out the personalities of our cats and I always feel at ease with them in her care. The photos and videos she sends are hilarious and so appreciated.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond for our two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. Our flight home was delayed by 4 hours and she made sure they were taken care of. We arrived to a clean apartment and healthy kitties. We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Pam was an excellent pet and house sitter. We couldn’t ask for anything more! She took great care of our kitten and it was so nice to come home to a clean and warm home.”
“I am new to Rover and needed a sitter in a very short period of time because of a death in the family…. and a funeral that I needed to attend to out of town. Chris answered my query in a very short period of time and we met the next day to go over what was needed while I was gone. He asked good questions about needs and wants and while I was gone gave me updates about their well being. He certainly understands our feline friends. Both my cats are seniors one has been quite ill, and Chris understood exactly what was needed. I do believe Chris is a cat whisperer. Both my cats took to him without a formal introduction and upon my return were quite content. I would recommend Chris to any person who needs a sitter and has cats,”
About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.
“Chelsea took great care of my english bulldog for 3 days and she went above and beyond to make sure she was doing well. I would definitely reach out again if she is available in the future!”
“Jessica was the best. She communicated well before I booked and sent photos and texts while she was caring for a kitten. She stayed two nights and left my place neat and tidy. I will definitely use Jessica again.”
“We are very happy with the care and communication Emily provided. She even stopped by the vet and picked up a perscription I forgot to get before leaving town. We were able to relax while visiting family knowing our kitty was being well taken care of.”
“Mary-Elizabeth is great. She took great care of my cat Chestnut while when we were away. She sent us pictures and videos everyday. Chestnut looked very calm and relaxed when we’re back. We would love to book Mary-Elizabeth’s service next time we are away.”
“Colin watched my cat in his home while I was away and he and his parents took wonderful care of her there. He always responded quickly and seemed to be attentive to my cat’s needs, as she was in good spirits when I arrived to pick her up.”

“I’m so grateful that I found Cathleen! I was in a pinch and she saved the day! I can’t speak more highly of how much she helped and made puppy at home! Would definitely recommend and use again!!! If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Thanks to Cara we had a wonderful first-time experience on Rover. Yoshi did his first Rover doggy day care and he had a blast. Cara took great care of him and her little girls took to Yoshi. He came home and promptly passed out. Expecting a lot more play dates in the near future. It's awesome to find another Corgi Mom. Thank you, Cara, for welcoming Yoshi into your home. We loved the photos you sent to us throughout the day and hope to add more memories.”
“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”
“Reanna took wonderful care of my golden while we were having work done at our house. She patiently helped him recover from an upset tummy and provided ample cuddles and outdoor fun! I know he'd love to stay with her again!”
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving Uzy, but Kristina, completely eased all my anxiety! Their home was so welcoming, and it was clear from the start that they provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. Uzy came home happy, healthy, and completely relaxed. Kristina, is deeply caring, and highly reliable. I cannot recommend their home enough and will absolutely book them again for Uzy!”
“We appreciate you so much, Finni and Sophie appreciate you caring for them. They seem to have really enjoyed their day. Thank you so much for your kindness.”
“Brianna was great, ready for our arrival and Mila took to her just fine. I put a lot of stock into how my Pup greets someone, and it was very comfortable. I appreciate that the house was close to where I needed to be and the calendar was open. Thank you for taking care of my girl”
“Emily was wonderful and took great care of Cooper and took him for an hour long walk and kept me updated with pictures and messages so that I could be sure things were going smoothly! I would highly recommend her.”
“It was my first time trying out a sitter for Wee and I was very nervous, but Steven and Rachel completely alleviated that worry with frequent updates, photos and genuine care for my pup. When I next need a sitter, Wee will definitely be staying with them. Thank you Steven and Rachel! :)”
“Beau is kind, flexible and professional. Both my senior dog and my 7 month old pup went directly to him-exhibiting no separation anxiety at all. He took very good care of both dogs and worked-happily-around my complicated schedule. It was reassuring to trust that my dogs were getting top notch care!”
“Maggie was amazing! She’s extremely personable, knowledgeable about dogs, and clearly loves what she does. Our Aussie Shepherd puppy was so well cared for and had such a great time she didn’t want to leave! We’re so happy we found Maggie and look forward to our next visit.”
“Dezi and I adore Keith! She was nervous her first day being dropped off but now after a few days she is SO excited to pull up to his building! He sends pics throughout the day to share their walks, their snuggles, whatever the day held. If you’re like me and was nervous to book with a man, there’s nothing to be nervous about with Keith, he’s genuinely a kind and caring human who will love on your furry friend as his own 🫶”
“This was Mortimer's 1st day care visit to Hongyee & Bear, & things went great!..Hongyee familiarized Mort to her property bfr introducing him to the other dogs...when it was time to pick him up, she was waiting for me with him ready to go & informed me of how his day went - she even sent me a pic earlier of him lying down resting.”
“This is my second 5-star review after several bookings with Jana. After Summer's first stay, I wrote about how patiently Jana and her family earned the trust of my very apprehensive little dog. Many stays later, I can say they gave her something even more wonderful: confidence and a genuine second family. Summer became completely at home with Jana, Tim and their children—hanging out in their rooms, playing outside, and even walking all the way around the block with Tim. By our last pickup, she seemed more interested in what their son was up to than leaving with me! What began as an urgent need for a safe place during work on our house became such a special connection for both Summer and me. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this wonderful family.”
“We have a newly adopted senior dog with severe separation anxiety after the loss of his previous owner. Leaving him home alone proved unsuccessful. In searching for a solution we found Jennifer and Alex. We are so relieved Jennifer and Alex welcomed Jett into their home and provided a safe, loving, fun place. He socializes with their pets beautifully and we get to enjoy the texted photos showing him happy and at ease with their three dog pack.”
“Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.”
“Nakoul was great with my anxious little rescue, Ellie. He showed her all the patience she needs to be comfortable in a new place. I also appreciated the ongoing communication and updates and the flexibility. Highly recommend and look forward to having Ellie there again.”

“Eli did a fantastic job with my dog, Spot! Eli showed up on time, paid close attention to details about caring for Spot, appeared genuinely interested in Spot’s personality and needs, was kind and caring while demonstrating an ability to manage Spot with safety in mind. I will definitely rebook with Eli!”
“Cathleen is a great dog walker! She has been very attentive to Ellie and is extremely reliable. Her communication skills are outstanding and we feel fortunate to have found her!”
“Mel and Kelly are the best. Louie is a nervous puppy, and their kindness immediately put him at ease. We feel very lucky to have found such a perfect people to help us care for a beloved member of our family.”
About: My first post-retirement job was walking dogs, with drop in visits for feeding, walking, and meds. Great job! Was able to hang with dogs, which was nice since our lease wouldn’t allow a dog. Grew up with dogs, and have had lots of cats. Currently co-parenting Hoot, a 13 year old rescue kitty. I’m currently retired and available to pet sit. My schedule allows me to take on long or short duration dog and cat sitting opportunities. I have experience with both timid and assertive pets. Was always respectful of client property and followed instructions as directed to ensure safe pets and happy clients.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love animals. I'm the "go to" dog sitter and walker for many of my friends and now seem to be a very popular "dog aunt." I am a local photographer and yoga teacher and wellness worker. I enjoy getting out for walks and having canine company while exploring. I have flexibility in my schedule most days for walks and play time. There is nothing better than seeing a repeat client and watching them do the 4 legged dance when I arrive. I have flexibility in my schedule most days. I teach a couple of yoga classes on the island and work at a few local businesses 2-3 times a week. My hours of work and away from home can vary from 3-5 hours at a time. Other work is done remotely from any location. I give lots of love and care to pets I spend time with and am very aware and present to safety and needs at all times. As a yogi and wellness provider, I have a calm demeanor that animals can sense and am skilled at calming nerves and being patient with pets who take some time to warm up.
About: When neighbors or friends need a dog sitter, I always raise my hand! I love long walks, playing fetch and canine cuddles. I have experience with all ages (young pup to senior). I am taking time to figure out my next professional chapter. While I do that, I have lots of time to put energy into something I love: being with animals. I'm well-versed in using multiple-dog-lead leashes, spending quality time with pets, and being bad cop when a fur baby tries to get an extra feeding.

About: I am good with a number of pets, I've worked with both conventional furry pets and even feathered and scaly ones, although the scales I definitely have less experience with. I've looked after people's pets plenty of times in the past, both dogs and cats. I much prefer medium or small dogs since I am a small person, but if the large dog is a gentle giant I will certainly consider it. I can work around your schedule quite well, I am very flexible! Weekdays are easy, weekends might need some negotiating but I am open to it. I own a very nervous and anxious cat, so I cannot take overnights sadly. I care for pets as if they are little people. Pets are wonderful companions for life and deserve to be cherished while we have them.
About: I have been a pet lover my whole 44 years. I have owned cats and dogs of many breeds, ranging from kitten care to senior pooches needing med regimens. Currently loving on a chinchilla at home, I am delighted to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. This is currently my only gig, so I have all the time to spend with your loved ones. Always happy to discuss complicated pet needs. Care in a client home is at each client’s discretion. You tell me what your love needs and I’ll get it done. You can trust me to communicate important issues and just take care of the small stuff.
“I’m so grateful to have Mary Elizabeth take care of my pup. She is flexible, responsive, and reliable. My dog loves her and I have peace of mind knowing she is being well cared for.”
“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I am a pet-assisted therapy researcher and truly believe in the mind and body benefits of caring for animals. The human - animal bond is very real and knowing my dog is being cared for by a responsible and caring individual while I am away is so important. Hence, I provide the same excellent care I expect of someone caring for Soley. I am a semi-retired university professor and I walk my dog every day on average 5 miles. I provide clean and caring pet services for family and friends. I have excellent references. I am a neat conscious and very clean person. I believe in providing my pets the same standard of cleanliness as I do myself and other guests. I am mindful of dogs interacting with other dogs and people when walking them. They are always on a leash.
“My dog tell us by how excited he gets if he received a good a service, and I can say he loved Mady. First time booking with her and definitely will do again. Thank you taking care of our little spoiled boy!”
About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: I have been around animals since childhood when I helped my family raise and take care of our chickens, two calico cats, turtle, rabbit, and parakeets. But I always wanted a puppy... Fast forward to adulthood, I helped my sister raise her mixed-breed puppy and shortly after moving away I got one of my own, a German Shepherd. I have raised and trained her since 10 weeks old and am well versed in any activities that your dog needs to stay stimulated, from training to walking to playing games and fetch. I work from home so I can be fairly flexible with scheduling but would appreciate a day or two of lead time if possible. Thanks! I am comfortable getting your dog in and out of their crate as well as in and out of the house, or in and out of the car (if requested/needed).

“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”
“Randsell watched Milo while we were on a 7 day cruise. She sent lots of photos and videos, and took him on lots of walks and gave him a lot of attention. We would definitely rebook her when we're in the area again!”
“Amazing communication, so kind and flexible when travel plans changed because of unplanned medical issues, very loving towards our dog, and sends so many adorable photos. We’re lucky to have found Meagan.”
“My 2 year old Springer Spaniel Boxer mix, Edie, had a wonderful time with Jana and her family! When I normally leave Edie at her doggy daycare to travel, she barely eats and seems anxious when I come to pick her up. Not the case this time! Edie ate all the food I had packed for her along with all the treats! She loved running around and puppy style wrestling with Hazel! Jana gave me updates twice a day with pictures and videos of the ladies playing. I truly do believe that Edie had a dog vacay with Hazel and Jana!”
“Rob, Ben and the rest of the family took such great care of our senior dog Walter. They sent lots of photos and updates, which we loved seeing, and also handled some eye medication that our pup is on. Walter loved all the attention from this family that he didn't even want to come home with us. He had a very fun staycation while we were away and would definitely book with them again in the future.”
