“Clover had an awesome time with Sarah and her pups. This was our first time using Rover and Sarah made us super comfortable with the process. She was very fast with responses, and sent updates and photos while we were away. Her dogs were very friendly with us and made quick friends with Clover. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”

“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”

“Boarding with Summer was great! She made it all very easy and I was never worried about my dog. She even sent a picture of him and gave me some updates to let me know that he was doing well.”

“Brandi and her family are awesome! My husband & I went on a 5-day trip and needed care for our two dogs, about 70 lbs each. The initial meet-and-greet went well and we knew they would be in good hands. Our bloodhound/basset hound mix has occasional seizures (once per 3-6 months) and Brandi was comfortable with that, thankfully. Brandi has a big fenced backyard where the dogs worked out their energy. Daily photos and updates made us confident that our boys were happy and enjoying their stay. Our pups actually slept in bed with Brandi like they do at home! Ha! We will definitely be contacting Brandi again and absolutely recommend her!”

“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”


“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”

“Traci provided a wonderful experience for my pup! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”


“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”

“Mary was the perfect choice for our dog Max and I am so glad I found her! She had a large yard for him to roam around in and she gave him so much love and attention. She also provided us with daily updates which the kids loved! I felt comfortable leaving him with her and was confident he was well taken care of and being spoiled. I will definitely use her the next time we need someone to care for Max!”

“Thomas & Emily are the best pet sitters ever. The love & attention given to Abbey was exceptional. Abbey loved playing with Monster & she was treated like their own which made it so much easier to be away. We loved the updates, photos & video. Meds were also given morning & night. We highly recommend Thomas & Emily. We will definitely use them again. Thank you both so much.”

“Megan was great with our cat, overcoming Ophelia's shyness and getting her to interact. Prompt and did extra things like watering plants and feeding the squirrels (which Ophelia likes wat hing). Highly recommend her!”

“Rylee provided wonderful care for our two cats. She kept them feed, watered and happy while we were away. Her updates and photos were very appreciated. We hope to have Rylee provide cat care again.”
“Wow, Jen is absolutely phenomenal! It was such a relief knowing that my kitties were in such capable and caring hands. Jen provided detailed daily updates, along with photos, to let us know that the kitties were doing well. She was great even with our little diva kitty, who can be tough to manage. I could tell from the photos that the kitties were happy and receiving love and attention while we were away. We came home to a house in order, and happy cats who didn't seem stressed that we had been gone for so long. This was my first time using Rover, and I'll definitely be calling Jen next time we need someone reliable, professional, friendly, and cat-approved to take care of our kitties. Thanks so much, Jen!”
“We were so fortunate to have Hayley as our pet sitter! We had many concerns about leaving our pets and needed help. She was amazing! She is knowledgeable, compassionate and handled our old high need dogs with confidence. It all went so well!”

About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I grew up on a farm surrounded by them and have always had at least one wherever I’ve lived. My childhood cat still lives with my parents, and I truly understand their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. I’m gentle, patient, and love giving cats the comfort and care they deserve.

“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”
About: I frequently pet sit for my both my sisters and parents animals. One was a siberian husky, another is a dachsund/terrier mix and the others were a mixed hound breed and a poodle/bichon frise. I also petsit and did overnight visits with a previous professors golden retriever and golden/Irish setter mix. I own a small mixed breed dog (similar to a Jack russell)Russell, and grew up with a Brittany Spaniel and a West Highland White Terrier. I also have frequent contact with my boyfriends parents dogs: a dachshund, and a cattle dog. I work part-time currently, and am scheduled Wed, Thurs, and Fri, and the occasional Saturday. I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.

About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life, so I’m familiar with feeding, brushing, little box, the sweet times of gentle love, the times of solitude, and the times of crazy play. I understand that cats are very different from one another and have different temperaments, and am gentle and patient enough to take the time to understand and connect with these furry love-bugs

About: I am a certified veterinary technician with an additional certification in massage and rehab therapy. I have been working in the animal care industry since 2012 and have worked with and trained dogs for a long as I can remember. I offer expert level care for medically complex cases and a fear free approach for anxious pets. I have experience working with anxious and aggressive dogs as well as competition trained dogs. Being crate trained is a must for overnight stays. I do have 1 large crate here but encourage you to bring your pet's crate from home if able. Self- employed with a flexible schedule, I have all day availability and can also do early morning and late evening drop ins. I only take 1 client at a time so that I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Because I only take one client at a time, I can offer a stress free stay for animal aggressive pets. I wash all toys and blankets and sanitize all the floors and dishes between every stay.

“This was our first visit with Deanne. Doggy Daycare was a hit! Cash was happy when I picked him up. He was sound asleep on the couch within a 1/2 of getting home. I think he had a busy day with his new lil buddy!”

About: e grown up with dogs my whole life and consider them part of the family. I love being around dogs and have experience house-sitting, walking, and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling different energy levels and individual needs, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, cared for, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I have a golden retriever puppy, and since I grew up with dogs, caring for him feels very natural to me. Every day starts and ends with walks, and throughout the week I make sure he gets plenty of exercise and socialization by taking him to the dog park regularly. At home, we spend a lot of time playing tug-of-war or fetch to keep him active and engaged. Because he has a sensitive stomach, I also prepare fresh homemade meals for him twice a day, so meal prep is built into my routine as well. One of my favorite parts of the day is winding down in the evening by cuddling up with my pup and reading a good book. Overall, caring for him is woven into both my daily schedule and the way I like to relax and spend my time. I am going back to school in the fall and do not currently work so my schedule is extremely flexible to take care of your pups :) I provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment for pets in both my home and my client’s home. In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a friendly golden retriever puppy who enjoys being around other dogs, but I can easily separate him if a pet prefers their own space or needs a calmer environment. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs with sensitive stomachs, so I’m comfortable preparing fresh meals, following dietary restrictions, and administering basic care as needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel comfortable and cared for while away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cleanup, and lots of companionship, while also treating the home respectfully and keeping owners updated with messages and photos.
“Chanse and her children (who are absolutely adorable!!!) took amazing care of Doc and Gunner. My husband and I were able to enjoy family time without worrying about our babies. Doc and Gunner enjoyed all the extra love and attention they received. Would contact Chanse again if we are back in the area with our babies. Highly recommend her if you need your dogs watched. Thank you!!!!!”

“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and even bought a dog of my own 3 years ago and he’s the best ever! He’s super friendly with other dogs and plays well with others. I usually take him on walks mornings, midday, and evening time and in the summer I only give him a walk in the evening because he’s a Husky and it gets too hot for him during the day. Evenings are best time for him. I try to take him to the dog park at least a couple times a week, so you can count on your pup having some one on one time with another pup and having LOTS of fun. I have walked dogs for family/family friends since I was 14. I’ve dog sat too and fed and bathe them. I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful children (3yrs, and 8months) and I take them along on walks too. They love dogs! I am available during the week at any time! I have 1 male Siberian Husky, he’s 3yrs old. He’s fixed and is up to date on all his shots, he’s also super friendly and plays well with any type of dog and any size.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I have a 7 year old golden named bode. I am familiar with medication distribution and other restrictions. Bode was diagnosed with lymphoma at 5 and has been in remission for 2 years. I grew up with labs as well as shitzus and my dad has a 9 year old golden. I would prefer to meet any candidate prior to boarding as they will be in the same space as my golden, he’s a gentle giant and gets along with all animals. He is a service animal so I have experience in training and younger dogs as well. I work from home full time and have a lot of free time to give during the week. Weekends are busy for me at the moment but will slow down come winter. I work from home so week days are great I have a lot of flexibility for walks and play time and potty breaks. Very attentive and will have my golden to play with. Big grass area to play at but no fence, live in a townhome with lots of toys. Since I work from home I’m very attentive and responsive.

I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to older pets with mobility or medical needs, and I understand that each animal requires a unique kind of love and attention. I’m patient, observant, and gentle — especially with shy or anxious pets. While I don’t have a pet right now (just got married and moved so it's been a crazy few months), I miss that connection and would love to help others care for their furry family members. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work a pretty flexible schedule so that leaves me with lots of flexibility for pet care!

I value how every animal is very unique and enjoy getting to spend time with and understand them. I currently have some part time things going on, but multiple times a week I can fit in time for pet care including time on the weekends. At this point I won’t be able to care for pets in my home. But I am responsible and trustworthy, and can follow directions and ask follow up questions should there be any-trying my best to provide the most honest and authentic pet care as possible.

I am available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and mornings on Wed, and Thurs. I currently live in a condo so my small dog is ideal for the space. Since my dog is reactive to other dogs, I would be doing only clients homes overnights, visits, and walks.

“Clover had an awesome time with Sarah and her pups. This was our first time using Rover and Sarah made us super comfortable with the process. She was very fast with responses, and sent updates and photos while we were away. Her dogs were very friendly with us and made quick friends with Clover. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”

“Boarding with Summer was great! She made it all very easy and I was never worried about my dog. She even sent a picture of him and gave me some updates to let me know that he was doing well.”

“Brandi and her family are awesome! My husband & I went on a 5-day trip and needed care for our two dogs, about 70 lbs each. The initial meet-and-greet went well and we knew they would be in good hands. Our bloodhound/basset hound mix has occasional seizures (once per 3-6 months) and Brandi was comfortable with that, thankfully. Brandi has a big fenced backyard where the dogs worked out their energy. Daily photos and updates made us confident that our boys were happy and enjoying their stay. Our pups actually slept in bed with Brandi like they do at home! Ha! We will definitely be contacting Brandi again and absolutely recommend her!”

“She took such good care of my puppy, she was in constant communication and sent pictures almost daily. She super spoiled my baby and he had a blast the whole time! She even went above and beyond and took him to be groomed at her shop.”


“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”

“Mary was the perfect choice for our dog Max and I am so glad I found her! She had a large yard for him to roam around in and she gave him so much love and attention. She also provided us with daily updates which the kids loved! I felt comfortable leaving him with her and was confident he was well taken care of and being spoiled. I will definitely use her the next time we need someone to care for Max!”


About: Dogs have always been a huge part of our family. Last year, we said goodbye to our English Bulldog after 12 wonderful years, and while my family is not quite ready for another forever pup yet, I am excited to open our home and hearts to other dogs in the meantime. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I'll treat your dog like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just relaxing company, I'm happy to provide a loving and comfortable environment. I work from home full-time during the work week, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship and supervision while in my care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits with a schedule that can accommodate most pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in the country on a full acre with a large fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. Our home provides a calm, loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while away from their families. Pets receive lots of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ll always treat your dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay.
“My first time leaving Gus with Tanya and I couldn't be happier. She treated Gus like her own and that's so comforting. I will definitely be asking her to watch Gus again.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young. Other than always having a dog of my own, I’ve taken care of pets of family, friends, and neighbors. This past year has really been the first time I’ve been without a pet. My daughter and I have a lot of love and attention to give any furry friend. I have early mornings and late afternoon-evening open Monday-Friday open and most weekends are completely open. Holiday time will have more availability with my Thanksgiving and winter break. I have a pretty big yard and a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks. I plan to do my best to make sure your pet feels as at home as possible when in my care.
“Erika did a great job watching Lincoln and Bella! She provided daily updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s so clear that Erika and Ryan love dogs, and it's wonderful that they now have their own dog. Even though Chuey wasn't quite sure about our dogs invading his space at first, they eventually got along and even worked out their snuggle time with Erika. It is incredibly comforting to know our dogs are in such good hands with plenty of love and attention while we're away. They will definitely be our go-to sitters!”
