“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Erin was incredible! She invited us and Fuzz to come meet her and her family, see where Fuzz would be staying, and welcomed any questions. Fuzz was comfortable right away. We received pictures every day which made my son (Fuzz's boy!) happy. He truly became part of their family while we were away and we are grateful for such a pleasant experience! Thank you, Erin!”

“My pup had a great time on Krystal’s farm. The kids were very sweet with her and she loved playing with the other dogs. Perfect place for a high energy, outdoor dog. Mine came home exhausted and ready for a bath!”

“This was my dogs first time boarding in several years, and she can be very anxious. Finding a place where she can be in a safe and welcoming home environment was a blessing! It was great to have daily feedback on how she’s doing and photos of her time there. It is clear that Emily and her family love dogs!”

“I think this will be the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Scott took incredible care of our dog, Tucker. He kept him for several days while we were out of town visiting family. Scott made sure to set up a time for us to visit him and his partner, Kevin, at their home and give Tucker a chance to meet their sweet boy, Nico. They became instant play buddies. Scott asked very detailed questions about Tucker’s habits and tendencies and made sure to write down every detail. Within just a few minutes, we knew we had found the right people to care for our boy. Scott sent us pics and videos throughout our time away. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”

About: Ive been taking care of animals such as dogs, cats, and even critters since I was just a little kid up until now at 19 years old. Ive dedicated most of my life and time to take care of animals all over whether its just my neighbors or a homeless critter off the streets to provide quality care and affection since every animal is deserving of it even those who struggle with health, behavior health, ptsd because they are especially deserving of adequate care and love! I would be honored to watch over your loved one, in return it helps me with my degree for college working in animal behavioral health, aswell as animal health in general. Im also a big runner/walker and average 20,000 steps every day so if your critter is adventurous or even a couch potato im hands on with the experience! I look forward to working with you! 😊 Im currently disabled so Im not working at all aside from doing online college from home. Every day I spend some time getting out of the house while doing work from my phone to average my daily activity. I spend a lot of time volunteering for the community at AA meetings, feeding the homeless, animal homelessness, food banks, etc to help around the neighborhood. Im moving to ohio to finish my treatment at the cleveland clinic organ transplant center in order to do that I need to be able to make income and what better way to do that then working with critters ive loved my whole life! I have a gated community inside where my apartment sits just close to Triangle Center. It would be very difficult for any animal to get loose because the fences are metal and taller than a 6ft man to prevent any break ins or even break outs in your case! My home is inspected every other month to make sure the environment is healthy and hazardous free, lots of free space and importantly scent, and smoke free! I suffer from some health issues aswell as family so its important there isn't much fragrance in the home, aswell as it being kept clean and in shape for easy access around the house and preventing sickness. Medicine is stored and locked away aswell as any hazardous objects to prevent accidents from occurring.
About: Hey there! I have been pet sitting for about 8 years. Everything from farm animals, to snakes, rats, cats and dogs, I've taken care of before. Animals are a big part of my life and I know how it is to worry about them while you're away. I'll give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your time off. Rover is my main gig so nearly all of time is available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and overnights. Like everyone else I do have other things going on and decline requests when I have the occasional conflict. A tmy gouse we treat pets with the respect close family deserves. When I visit your home, your pets will receive the same care and affection. Iunderstand the importance of a comfortable home, so wI always do my best to leave your home better than when I arrived.

“Kelly and her family are amazing! I truly believe they made our dogs part of their family even if it was just for the weekend. She meet with me prior to our dogs stay to meet them and ensure they would be comfortable staying in her home. Kelly sent me pictures throughout our dogs stay which showed me our dogs were being well taken care of and loved. Our dogs loved playing with their puppy and were exhausted when they got home. I will definitely be using Kelly for future Rover stays.”

“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”

“Cara and Jose are awesome, Julie my pug enjoys visiting and playing with their Pug Sophie. They have watched Julie on multiple occasions and I appreciate the warm family environment while I am away. 5 Stars!!!!”

“Kristi's home was a GREAT match for our dog, Ollie! It was clear that he was treated like family, and had tons of love and attention from the whole family. I'm so glad to have found a loving home-away-from-home for him. Ollie is booked to stay with Kristi again next month... it's SUCH a relief to know he'll be in good hands, having his own vacation while we have ours!”

“We had a hard time finding a sitter due to Boone’s anxiety and apprehension towards strangers and other dogs, and Holly was the perfect fit. She was communicative and her experience working with dogs showed during our meet and greet and through the pictures she sent us of Boone happy and at ease with other dogs during his stay with her. We would definitely book with Holly again. Thank you so much!”

“Raegan is wonderful! She has an extensive knowledge of animals and an obvious love for them. She gave me such peace of mind while my puppy was in her care. Definitely will use her again!”


“Trinity was wonderful. April and I plan on using her again. I almost hesitate to write a review so I can keep her to myself. I received updates and pictures and Trinity was always available to iron out logistics because I wasn’t able to drop April off or pick her up and had a friend do so for me. April stayed for 5 days at Trinity’s house and came back with a fresh wash even. I was even told April didn’t seem to want to leave when my friend picked her up. I am very grateful to Trinity and I know April looks forward to hanging out again.”

“She is really nice, and very kind. Our dog stayed with her two nights and got very comfortable and exciting time. We , our family like her professional support very much and can trust. Unfortunately we live far from this location, not much opportunity to use again. But hopefully we would like to come back again when having a chance.”
About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.

“Joyce came and visited our two cats ensuring they were fed, their litter was cleaned out, and that they received a little love. She did an outstanding job, communicated very well, was easy to work with, and was just generally kind and reliable. I highly recommend her services and will be reaching out to her again in the future.”

“Sheila was so good with our kitty, Chief. She checked on Chief while we were on vacation. She showed up every day that was scheduled and sent pictures of Chief at every visit. He seemed happy and well cared for upon our return. Thank you, Sheila!”


“Angela and her whole family were very involved in taking care of my two cats. From drop off to pick up I felt safe leaving my pets with them. Angela provided me with lots of updates including pictures and videos of how they were doing, even if it was just a cute moment they shared. I would highly recommend her for your next pet sitting need!”

“Our normal cat sitter was having a new baby while we were going out of town, so we had to find someone new. I found Rebecca after another sitter that I had lined up backed out and I was so glad I did. She did a great job! I also cat sit for Rover, and Rebecca gave the wonderful care that I always try to give my own clients. We appreciated the notes, and pictures from each day that she visited. My kids were upset about leaving their 3 kittens for so long, but they felt better seeing that they were in great hands with Rebecca. I will definitely use Rebecca again and recommend to others families with cats.”


“Kris is a good sitter. He comes on schedule, communicates well, and treats your home and pets with the care they deserve. He has stepped up for me on short notice, and always does a good job.”

“First time using Rover and having Chelsie do drop-in visits. My 3 y.o. tabby jumped in her lap and rubbed on her during the meet-and-greet. 9 y.o. floofer took a few days to warm up although she did do an unexpected observe from a favorite perch.

About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

“Angela was so great! I’m so glad I found her. She took great care of my dog Linus. He’s 90lbs of puppy energy so that’s no small feat! Lots of updates and excellent communication. Linus had so much fun with his new pug friends and he got lots of love from Angela and her family.”

“Scott was awesome! Very quick to respond and work with us on delays due to weather. Our pups had a great time and tuckered out when we picked them up. Scott also let us know how things were going throughout out the day with pictures. It makes our trip more enjoyable when we know our pups are in good hands while we are out exploring. Our thanks to Scott, and we will look forward to using him again in the future.”

“This is my first time using Rover, and I am a first time dog owner. I needed to schedule something very last minute and Emily was very flexible working with me and Daisy. She did a great job and kept in contact about her stay. She is very friendly and is very well experienced in this business.”

“Krystal took such great care of our dog while we were visiting Mount Rainier National Park. Her home is acres and acres of farm fun with several dog and cat friends.

“Mikki was absolutely great! She took the time to have a few meet ups with our puppy to make sure everyone got along well, and she had the patience of a saint for dealing with a puppy with all her quirks. We will definitely be reaching out and booking again for future sitting needs.”

I went to school and got my vet assisting certificate. My dogs enjoy playing in our fenced in yard and playing with the kids who are always excited. During the summer my dogs and I enjoy bikejoring and in the winter if there is enough snow we go dog sledding. I do offer training services if you have an active pup who needs a "job" to do.

“I cannot recommend Joyce more! She was able to accommodate my last minute dog walking request after a family emergency. She is fantastic and I will definitely continue to ask Joyce back for all of my dog and cat services!”

About: I grew up with animals and have been trusted by family and friends to pet sit. I have worked at a doggie daycare place and currently work in the vet medicine field. I plan on staying in the vet medicine field, but it is always nice to see animals where they are relaxed and happy. I do work full time and sometimes long hours but can always check in on animals before and after work. Some days, I will be working in Eagle River so it would be hard for me to check in on animals during the day. I am very good at following instructions so if there is a certain routine that an animal is used, I will follow it. I try to be aware of my surroundings because I never want an animal to accidentally hurt themself on something or ingest anything.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and I've had cats for around 6 years, working with puppies/kittens all the way to seniors.

Currently, I'm doing delivery work and make my own schedule, and I've worked nights in the past, so I am open to work any time of day and with any task you may need! I have plenty of time on my hands, and plenty of animal love in my heart. I've spent my life watching my own dogs, both indoor and outdoor cats, and my neighbors pets, so I have lots of experience on keeping animals safe and happy.
“Chelsie went above and beyond taking care of my dog. I know my dog felt cared for and loved her walks. Chelsie always took pictures and updated me with notes. That meant so much to me. She was reliable and punctual. She gave my dog a great experience and I feel super grateful to her. Thank you Chelsie.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. I feel so happy to be around them always. This is very special and heartfelt for me to care for them as often as I can. I work from home full time.

About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, my senior girl I’ve had since then is 18 yrs old and still going strong! I have two big Great Pyrenees/ Saint Bernard mixes and we take them on walks regularly. I work a nine to five and am free on weekends, so I hang out and take care of my pets in the evenings when I get off work. I don’t currently live at home with my pets so I don’t get to see them as often as I would like because I’m in school. My dogs live with my parents and we have a fenced in yard and a space in our house just for the dogs. I live by myself though if your dog isn’t comfortable around other animals!
About: Dogs are life. I've raised and trained several puppies, healed sick dogs with herbs and cared generally for dogs my entire life. I actually became an herbalist because I started healing dogs first. I live and work at home so I currently have all the time in the world to pamper, hike with and love up your pups. I have a fenced yard in the back and a whole 5 acres of roaming land and a doggo to keep your company and show em the lay of the land.

“Angela graciously accepted our last-minute boarding request for our cat and was incredibly accommodating, even when our we were delayed due to traffic and weather. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—she is warm, caring, and clearly loves animals. She thoughtfully kept our cat separate from her dogs, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, our cat seemed comfortable, relaxed, and happy. Angela provided timely updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Erin was incredible! She invited us and Fuzz to come meet her and her family, see where Fuzz would be staying, and welcomed any questions. Fuzz was comfortable right away. We received pictures every day which made my son (Fuzz's boy!) happy. He truly became part of their family while we were away and we are grateful for such a pleasant experience! Thank you, Erin!”

“My pup had a great time on Krystal’s farm. The kids were very sweet with her and she loved playing with the other dogs. Perfect place for a high energy, outdoor dog. Mine came home exhausted and ready for a bath!”

“This was my dogs first time boarding in several years, and she can be very anxious. Finding a place where she can be in a safe and welcoming home environment was a blessing! It was great to have daily feedback on how she’s doing and photos of her time there. It is clear that Emily and her family love dogs!”

“I think this will be the easiest 5 star review I’ve ever written. Scott took incredible care of our dog, Tucker. He kept him for several days while we were out of town visiting family. Scott made sure to set up a time for us to visit him and his partner, Kevin, at their home and give Tucker a chance to meet their sweet boy, Nico. They became instant play buddies. Scott asked very detailed questions about Tucker’s habits and tendencies and made sure to write down every detail. Within just a few minutes, we knew we had found the right people to care for our boy. Scott sent us pics and videos throughout our time away. We will definitely be using his services again.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”

About: Ive been taking care of animals such as dogs, cats, and even critters since I was just a little kid up until now at 19 years old. Ive dedicated most of my life and time to take care of animals all over whether its just my neighbors or a homeless critter off the streets to provide quality care and affection since every animal is deserving of it even those who struggle with health, behavior health, ptsd because they are especially deserving of adequate care and love! I would be honored to watch over your loved one, in return it helps me with my degree for college working in animal behavioral health, aswell as animal health in general. Im also a big runner/walker and average 20,000 steps every day so if your critter is adventurous or even a couch potato im hands on with the experience! I look forward to working with you! 😊 Im currently disabled so Im not working at all aside from doing online college from home. Every day I spend some time getting out of the house while doing work from my phone to average my daily activity. I spend a lot of time volunteering for the community at AA meetings, feeding the homeless, animal homelessness, food banks, etc to help around the neighborhood. Im moving to ohio to finish my treatment at the cleveland clinic organ transplant center in order to do that I need to be able to make income and what better way to do that then working with critters ive loved my whole life! I have a gated community inside where my apartment sits just close to Triangle Center. It would be very difficult for any animal to get loose because the fences are metal and taller than a 6ft man to prevent any break ins or even break outs in your case! My home is inspected every other month to make sure the environment is healthy and hazardous free, lots of free space and importantly scent, and smoke free! I suffer from some health issues aswell as family so its important there isn't much fragrance in the home, aswell as it being kept clean and in shape for easy access around the house and preventing sickness. Medicine is stored and locked away aswell as any hazardous objects to prevent accidents from occurring.
About: Hey there! I have been pet sitting for about 8 years. Everything from farm animals, to snakes, rats, cats and dogs, I've taken care of before. Animals are a big part of my life and I know how it is to worry about them while you're away. I'll give you peace of mind so you can enjoy your time off. Rover is my main gig so nearly all of time is available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins and overnights. Like everyone else I do have other things going on and decline requests when I have the occasional conflict. A tmy gouse we treat pets with the respect close family deserves. When I visit your home, your pets will receive the same care and affection. Iunderstand the importance of a comfortable home, so wI always do my best to leave your home better than when I arrived.

“Kelly and her family are amazing! I truly believe they made our dogs part of their family even if it was just for the weekend. She meet with me prior to our dogs stay to meet them and ensure they would be comfortable staying in her home. Kelly sent me pictures throughout our dogs stay which showed me our dogs were being well taken care of and loved. Our dogs loved playing with their puppy and were exhausted when they got home. I will definitely be using Kelly for future Rover stays.”

“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”

“Kristi's home was a GREAT match for our dog, Ollie! It was clear that he was treated like family, and had tons of love and attention from the whole family. I'm so glad to have found a loving home-away-from-home for him. Ollie is booked to stay with Kristi again next month... it's SUCH a relief to know he'll be in good hands, having his own vacation while we have ours!”

“We had a hard time finding a sitter due to Boone’s anxiety and apprehension towards strangers and other dogs, and Holly was the perfect fit. She was communicative and her experience working with dogs showed during our meet and greet and through the pictures she sent us of Boone happy and at ease with other dogs during his stay with her. We would definitely book with Holly again. Thank you so much!”

“Raegan is wonderful! She has an extensive knowledge of animals and an obvious love for them. She gave me such peace of mind while my puppy was in her care. Definitely will use her again!”


“Trinity was wonderful. April and I plan on using her again. I almost hesitate to write a review so I can keep her to myself. I received updates and pictures and Trinity was always available to iron out logistics because I wasn’t able to drop April off or pick her up and had a friend do so for me. April stayed for 5 days at Trinity’s house and came back with a fresh wash even. I was even told April didn’t seem to want to leave when my friend picked her up. I am very grateful to Trinity and I know April looks forward to hanging out again.”

“She is really nice, and very kind. Our dog stayed with her two nights and got very comfortable and exciting time. We , our family like her professional support very much and can trust. Unfortunately we live far from this location, not much opportunity to use again. But hopefully we would like to come back again when having a chance.”
About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.

“We left Josie for the first time with Rebecca. She kept in touch with us and even sent us pictures during her stay. I would use her again for pet sitting. Thank you Rebecca!!”
