“Yoda loved it there before we even left. They have all the toys and even a little coat for him. They took videos of Yoda going on walks and playing. Sherrie and Bill are a lovely couple and did a great job caring for Yoda. They have a closed-in backyard to keep dogs safe. When we go out of town, we hope they're available.”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“I highly recommend Cynthia and plan to book again soon!. Our pup had an excellent experience, especially for her first visit. Cynthia went above and beyond in every category, including communication and care, walking her daily, and even giving her a bath. She came home bright, happy and in beautiful condition with special treats. Cynthia is a warm, caring, and very responsible sitter, noting all details. Her emphasis on safety, and frequent photos were especially appreciated. Our pup was very well looked after in every way, thanks to the kindness of Cynthia!”
“Kelsey and family are a lovely home for our little Yorkie. I appreciate having a local, quality dog sitting arrangement. I have no hesitation recommending Kelsey as a pet companion and home sitting service.”
“Bershka and Lionel are seriously the absolute best people to watch your furry friends! They love our cat almost as much as we do and we never have to worry when our cat is with them. Another successful visit on the books! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Sarah takes such great care of Truman every time he stays with her. She's so kind and patient with the challenges he's facing as an older dog. She sends us regular photos and updates so we know he's doing well. Truman actually gets excited when we pull up in front of her house for a stay!”
“Kelsey is amazing, my demi was having a lot of separation anxiety and she helped handle it so I could enjoy my vacation!!! Definitely recommend her over and over again and hope to use her again if we need to!!!! 10 STARS ?”
“Angela and her family were amazing with our sweet pup! Not only did she take wonderful care of him, but he had a great time and it felt like they actually enjoyed having him. Finn clearly felt relaxed and safe in their home and under their care, which isn’t always the case. Angela also did some leash training with him and taught him how to use their doggie door! It was a fantastic experience and I will re-book with Angela anytime I have a need for Finn. I couldn’t be happier with Angela and her sweet family! Thank you, Angela!”
“Winston had a wonderful stay with Alexis and her family! He was EXHAUSTED when he got home!! ??? Alexis sent daily updates which were much appreciated. I highly recommend her!!”
“Avery and Theo make my high-strung pup feel at home. It makes a huge difference knowing I can trust them to keep him safe! He definitely benefits from the socialization too.”
“Elaine took absolutely great care of Pepe while was away for two weeks! The daily updates and pictures gave me great peace of mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Pepe was in great hands.”
“April so kind and caring when it came to my pup! I had to find care last minute, which caused a lot of stress for me. She soothed all my doubts and make sure my girl had a great stay. April is definitely somebody that I will book with for future boarding needs! :)”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“This was Kona's first time staying with Britt and it went very well. I was thankful for her special care she provided for him, the video and updates that I received. Kona has a couple meds he has to take (which can be tricky) but Britt got creative and was able to get him to take them! What a blessing to find a safe, caring home with other happy lil dogs for Kona to hang with. Thank you so much!”
“Teri is Amazing. Kind, gentle and very caring. I highly recommend her. Addie told me she never wants to go anywhere else!! Thank you so much Teri. Nikki and Addie”
“Bella had a great time staying with Jennifer. She had many dogs to socialize and play with. Bella made herself at home and Jennifer sent me pictures throughout her stay. I know Bella would love to stay with Jennifer again.”

“We had a meet-and-greet with Kathryn so that we could establish relationships between the humans and between Kathryn and the cats. Although it wasn't an official pet sitting appointment, we could tell immediately how comfortable Kathryn is with kitties (as well as a personable human). We look forward to booking Kathryn for our future cat sitting needs.”
“Samantha did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats! Communication was great, she followed all instructions, and even our shy kitty got comfortable with her quickly. Would definitely book again!”
“Thank you Madeline for loving our cats while we were out. She is prompt, and responsible. We trusted Madeline and would definitely contact her next time we are out of town.”
“She went above and beyond to help out with not only my animals but my garden too! Her communication was excellent and she was kind and genuine. So grateful I found a great sitter!”
“Was in a huge crunch, time wise, and Morgan stepped up and delivered big time. She is personable, responsible, diligent and ridiculously willing (in a great way) to ensure my pets were well cared for and my mind was able to focus on my travels, and eased. Morgan sent daily pics of my pets that showed they were growing more accustomed to her twice-daily visits. She followed directions to the tee and even went beyond what was asked. Of course I’ve already booked her again! Thank you, Morgan!!!”
“About 1-1/2 months ago, we brought in a stray cat who was very scared of everything. Unfortunately, we had previously planned a 10 day trip and so were concerned as to what to do about our new cat, Percy. We searched online and discovered Rover. Bridgette, who does pet sitting through Rover, agreed to be at our home over the 10 day period when we would be gone. We are grateful that Bridgette was able to stay 24 hours a day as Percy was just too new to be left alone for long periods of time. We were delighted with the work she did for us. She was very responsible and we felt comfortable leaving her in charge of our home and Percy. Bridgette is very sweet and soft-spoken which was perfect for our anxious cat. He was very wary of her and hid away for much of the time, but Bridgette continued to care for his needs, plus her presence in our home must have given him a sense of companionship. Percy was starting to warm up to her and we are confident Bridgette will win him over as we definitely plan to use her in the future. We highly recommend Bridgette and Rover.”
About: I’ve had cats for around 5 years and around for 7+. I’ve cared kittens and older cats, including supervision of kitten litters. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and routines are very important to them, however, cats are so much fun to get to know and be around!
“Donna did a wonderful job looking after our older kitty for a couple nights. His (and our!) anxiety visibly lowered, thanks to her care, and we so appreciated the pictures she sent.”
“Audrey was great about sending updates and photos of our senior cat. She was very conscientious about administering transdermal medication and following his routine. She even got past his wariness by the final night of her 4-night stay in our home and had some lap time with him. I'm sure that made both Audrey and our cat happy. We hope she will be available the next time we need someone to care for our little guy.”
“Anastasiia was an amazing sitter for our cat. She provided lots of updates and photos throughout the day. She showed true competency, even for our kitty who has specific medicine needs. Best sitter we’ve ever used, by far!”
About: Growing up on a hobby farm I've always owned cats, my family had 8 and I had 2 of my own. I've been taking care of cats of various ages since I was 10. My skills with cats include but aren't limited to observing body language, working with feral cats from the spot program, giving meds/shots and training. My cat is trained to sit and harness trained.
“Dasha as always kept good care of our kitty and pulled some packages in off the porch even though we were just gone for the night. I appreciate her attention to detail for little things like that.”
“Veronika was a perfect choice to look after my feisty cat! She worked hard to earn her trust and even got her to play after the first visit! I would highly recommend her for attention to detail and genuinely caring for the well-being of furry family members. Thank you Veronika!!”
About: I’ve lived with cats all my life and I understand just how unique, sensitive, and wonderfully quirky our feline companions can be. I’ve cared for my own cats throughout every stage of life — including one who lived happily into her 20s — and supported her through the age‑related illnesses that often come with senior kitties. Through her journey, I learned how to confidently administer a wide range of medications and provide the gentle, attentive care older cats need. Whether your cat is playful and social, shy and independent, or a senior who needs extra patience and support, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to keep their routine steady, their stress low, and their hearts happy — so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands.
“Took great care of our kitties with a very last minute booking after another rover cancelled. Made time for meet and greet and left everything as expected. Would recommend!”
“This is the second time we’ve had Jordan watch our cats when we are out of town and Jordan did an incredible job again, was very attentive and sent great pictures each visit. We will definitely look for Jordan’s availability first next time we are out of town!”
“Karolina was a FANTASTIC cat sitter!!! We had an urgent request for a sitter and she truly saved the day!! She was incredibly responsive to any requests we had and was extra loving to our babies. She not only showered them with affection, she cleaned up their messes, and made sure they were well fed while she stayed in our home. Karolina also left our home as neat as she found it. I highly recommend booking Karolina and we will most certainly use her services again! Moreover, our cats were happy and relaxed when we got home which is their way of giving her a five paw review!! ☺️”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shelter Bay
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“I really appreciate Sara‘s willingness to help me out with my baby. My dog is not used to be around so many other dogs. for me. It was not a fit because of that reason. Sara was great ,no complaints about her. But my little senior is always Best one on one or with only one or two other small dogs.”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Sarah is amazingly calm and loving with her canine friends, and my guys felt welcomed, and right at home. I have a 120 lb puppy who is shy with most people - but he wasn’t shy at all at Sarah’s. So grateful for her loving presence and kindness.”
“Morgan did a great job watching Sparky. Sparky really enjoyed playing with her dogs. Morgan was very nice and friendly and she was able to take Sparky very early in the morning. We will definitely leave Sparky with her again.”
“Chelsey was absolutely amazing! She saved my day by accepting my last minute request within 3 hours. She took incredible care of my pug Hulu, and her own pug, Nigel, was so friendly and welcoming. Hulu had such a great time playing with them that she didn’t even want to leave!”
“Katrina is a gem - quick responses, and was very easy going and willing to roll with it when I (embarrassingly) forgot my dog's bag of lunch, toys, etc. the first time I brought him over. I don't think he even missed his things, given how well her place is set up for dogs. The big, fenced back yard is a dream!”
“While in Washington for a special event I needed someone to care for my senior dog for several hours a day over the course of two days and Rachael came through for me. I knew my dog was in a safe, caring place and in capable hands. I would readily use her services again if in the vicinity.”
“We were very happy with Virginia. She came to see us at our campsite on our first day and made sure we were all set to leave our dog. This was our first time to use Rover and we couldn’t have been more thrilled.”
“Jennifer took such great care of my dog Ziggy. She even gave him a bath and clipped his nails. We will definitely be using her again! We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“I had a last minute change to my booking, and Nicole was an absolute life saver! I couldn’t be more thankful for the flexibility. My dog was super happy and tired when I picked her up! I recommend this booking!!”
“Hazel had a blast hanging out with Jax! She came home happy, tired, and well cared for. It was clear she had a wonderful time, and we’d definitely trust Virginia with Hazel again!”
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”
“Brooke was very communicative and my boy came home sooooo tired! She has a large yard where he zoomed with her dog and she walked him multiple times during the day! Thanks Brooke and Lambeau!”

“Kathryn was here at 9am sharp, right on time! Bella is already very comfortable with Kathryn, they have very quickly developed quite a relationship, Bella was excited and eager to see her and go with Kathryn after just a few days. Kathryn is absolutely awesome, she has been getting Bella out to the water, open fields, and place’s Bella can really run and has been having a terrific time. Bella got home exhausted this morning, happy and content. We are thrilled with the experience we have had so far and plan on having Kathryn take Bella out to play as often as we can.”
“Madeline came by to get the dogs zoomiez out so they didn't spend too much alone time being mischievous. I'd recommend Madeline and hope to work with her in the future!”
“Morgan is great with our Gus! He is shy around other people and we wanted him to be more comfortable around other people--so we thought a dog walker was a good idea. Morgan is gentle and patient ith him. She's only been our dog walker for a short time, but when we say "Morgan's coming today" his head snaps towards the door in anticipation of her coming. We highly recommend her.”
“Kayla has done a fabulous job. I had a knee replacement surgery and the next day after I asked her for help. She has walked my dog every single day for a half an hour. She is prompt. He is happy when he comes back and she sends me a few pictures every day. I feel confident that she can handle my 70 pound dog even if he sees a rabbit.”
About: Lover of pets! I’d love to meet your furry (or not so furry) friend. I’m very active, so long walks & even hikes are totally alright by me! I’m here to help you and your pet thrive. Whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, companionship, bathing , etc. I have been caring for pets since I was a youth. Whether that was neighborhood pets, friends pets or family pet. I have experience with a wide range of ages & sizes. I used to live out on a farm for several years and care for kittens, chickens, goats, pigs, and dogs. I helped take care of newborn kittens, feed and foster trust with them. Regularly cleaning the chicken coop, feeding them, collecting eggs and just hanging out with them. I would feed, brush and hang out with the goats also clean out pen. I raised a pig for 4H feeding, caring, and spending lots of quality time with him. And then of course dogs, I spent a good amount of years caring for two labs. Running them, washing them, cleaning up their dog house, feeding them. Snuggles and cuddles of course. I have notoriously always had an orange cat in my life; however living on the farm had about 6-7 cats I cared for. Them being farm cats mostly wanting to be fed and hung out with me in the grass or came by for pets. Neighborhood cats would get pregnant leading me to foster relationships with their kittens, a lot of times rescuing them, cleaning them up and bringing them back to wellness then re-homing them. Overall, I’d love to play & care for your pet as you see fit! Ideally I’d prefer a meet & greet prior to care. I have a very open and flexible schedule; morning's, afternoons and most evenings I should be around. My work schedule is currently evenings Sunday through Tuesday. I make sure pets are fed on time always have water and are let out whenever needed. I also make sure cat’s litter boxes are well maintained.
“Audrey was great! She was available on short notice for a next-day visit, was easy to communicate with, showed up exactly when she said she would, and did great with our Cavalier puppy! Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have taken care of just about every type of animal since I was young (dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hedgehogs, gerbils, snakes, etc.) I've trained and raised several puppies and kittens. The majority of the animals in my life were adult animals and if they were family pets, they stayed with us until it was time to cross the rainbow bridge so I also have a fair amount of experience with senior care as well. I grew up with no less than 4 animals in the house at all times, so I'm very good with multiple-pet households, but I currently live in a household with only one dog, so I am also comfortable doting on just one at a time :) I am currently available 24/7 and this is my primary career! I am happy to care for your fuzzy friends and family any time of day or night, their set schedule becomes my own! :3 I really believe every pet is different and taking into account their personality, energy, as well as their history or needs is very important. I like to give pets loads of attention if they are the type that likes attention, or I'm happy to just sit and read a book with them if they are more the sleepy type. I don't believe in leaving dogs in yards unattended, and I am a very communicative person-- I am not afraid to ask questions or clarify things I may not be sure of.
About: I’ve cared for both farm and house pets for most of my life. My dream is to have a homestead with as many animals as I can ethically care for. I’ve taught both dogs and my cat different commands and would love to learn more things to work on training in the future. I believe mental enrichment is so important to keep animals living a happy life. I’m currently a stay-at-home pet parent so my routine is quite flexible. I try not to be away from home for too long so my dog doesn’t have to be crated for prolonged periods. I am very attentive to my pets behaviors and I will be with yours too. They can’t always tell us what they are thinking or feeling so body language is very important.
About: Hi, my name is Kim and I am prior military. I have worked in veterinary clinics in the past for 6 years before I changed careers and would really love the chance to take care of your baby while you’re away! If you have any questions in particular please feel free to contact me! I am available most days of the week and weekends. I have worked with dogs for over 10 years and can read them very well. I have patience with puppies and I also have experience with senior and special needs dogs to include administering medications by mouth or subcutaneously. I have pets of my own, I let them out every morning and we play while outside with my kids. If I can, or if requested, I will walk them after work. Dogs will not be left in the yard unattended and the neighborhood is great for walking around. I temperament check all dogs I pet sit before booking.
About: I have owned pets all my life and along the way I’ve picked up a few tricks that I can use. I am also currently learning to become a veterinarian so I have knowledge that can be useful in an emergency. I am doing a summer course that's online so I have lots of free time to keep your pet(s) safe. I have a couple camping trips planned but they are mostly on weekends. My schedule is only open until the 24th of September, after that I’m back in college. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I can always hook up your pet to a leash. I currently own two dogs who are both crate trained so if they don’t get along my dogs can be crated.
About: I have taken care of my dog for several months, kept up with his training and spend time playing. Puppies need extra attention to grow into healthy adults. Adults need just as much affection and some play time. I work full-time weekdays but I am available in the evenings. Saturdays are free for me to play with dogs and take care of them. I can manage keeping up with a dogs training and take care of their needs at the same time! Who needs their dogs loved on or watched over?
About: I have experience working with senior pets, disabled animals, and puppys. My skills include but are not limited to administering meds and shots, feeding, walking, observing body language and basic training. I am currently going to college, I'm not working at the moment. I have a break from college till September so I have a bit of free time. Shoot me a message and we'll figure out a time! While watching pets at your home I am very diligent about keeping an eye on your animal(s) if I see anything that's out of the norm and/or a cause for concern I will contact you immediately.
“Heidi was great! She accepted a very last-minute request and asked great questions about Nova. She arrived early to meet her and be sure Nova would feel comfortable with her. Heidi brings great knowledge and professionalism to her work. Will call her again!”

About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds. From playful puppies to senior dogs with disabilities, I've seen it all. Growing up surrounded by a variety of dogs, from tiny Yorkies to gentle Great Danes, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it's providing extra care for seniors or giving energetic pups their much-needed exercise, I’m passionate about keeping your furry friends happy and healthy! I’m available to care for your pets throughout the week! Whether you need a dog walk, check-in, or caring for your pet while away, I’m here to help! Let me know your pet’s needs, and I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during the times that work best for you. Please note: Starting June 1, 2025, my HOUSE SITTING rates will be updated. On Rover, the listed rate will show as $60 per night, which applies when you're away on vacation or need care over multiple days with daytime coverage. However, if you're booking longer daytime care without an overnight stay (for example, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM), the rate will be adjusted to $20 per hour for the time I’m actively caring for your pets. While the initial booking may still show as $60, I will manually adjust the rate on my end and send it to you for approval before confirming. This helps ensure you're only paying for the time you need, and your pets still receive high-quality, attentive care. Additionally, please note that for extended visits, I can provide early morning and late night drop ins, but will stay in my own home as I have my own fur babies to care for ☺️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in the familiar environment of your home, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed. I build trust through consistent, loving attention, treating each pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s following specific routines or providing a calm atmosphere, I make sure your furry friend feels safe and well cared for while you’re away.

Her report was that he was looking for us for an hour post our leaving But then Kate's children started playing with Teddy and his mind switched to having fun. I like that there was a lot of human to dog interaction. Katie sent some photos of Teddy. She did a good job of caring for Teddy.”
“Monica and Scot rock! Our dogs love staying with them. Monica was very communicative and sent many pics and vids of our dogs.

They always come home happy and healthy after staying with Monica and Scot!”
