“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”

“All I can say is wow! Susan did a fantastic job, with a stream of videos and pictures of Claire. She even did a special photoshoot with Claire in honor of my wedding! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more impressed. When I picked up Claire, she seemed relaxed and comfortable with Susan which made me so happy.”

“Sherlock had a wonderful stay again with Kristine and family - so so happy when he gets a chance to stay, and we know he is in great hands especially when we are out of the country.”


“Maddie had a great one night stay with Melissa. Melissa sent me a lot of text photos of Maddie. I liked that a lot. Melissa has a pool and Maddie went in there several times. I had to go out of town and none of the sitters I've used in the past were available. I contacted Melissa who is 30 minutes away and in very short notice, she agreed to a meet and greet within an hour and Maddie had a great place to stay. I would highly recommend Melissa and would have her watch Maddie again.”
“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”

“Booked Jasmine to watch my dog Toby 4 days and 4 nights over Thanksgiving. Before booking, Jasmine agreed on a meet and greet just to confirm that Toby felt comfortable with her. Dropped Toby off Tuesday about 6pm and picked him up Saturday at about 6 pm. Over those 4 days Jasmine would send updates morning, noon, and night along with videos of Toby walking or playing with her dog Molly. Could not have been happier with the care Toby received and since he has been home he has seemed alot calmer than before I dropped him off. I would recommend Jasmine to anyone as she is definitely a 5 STAR sitter. I will for sure book her again in the future when needed.”

“Oh my god. I cannot say enough good things about her. She took care of both of ours dogs like they were her own. She always sent photos and videos throughout their stay. Loved it.”


“I left my two puppies in Allison’s care for 3 days and they were so happy! Allison send me photos everyday and kept me updated on how they were doing. She really is the best!”

“Dalene was great with Yoda. She was very attentive and flexible with us dropping off and picking up times. She took care of our dog very well. Definitely recommend for future stays.”

“Ana was amazing with my two pups! First time leaving my girls with someone else and also first time they’re away from home for the night. Ana made this process so easy! She was sending videos and lots of pictures. I will definitely use her in the future.”

“I would definitely recommend Irine. I will use her services again. She took great care of my senior ShihTzu mix , he is 14 and need meds twice a day. I received regular updates and video. He fit right in with her Kiki and other small dogs that were there during his stay. Her sons enjoyed that he looked like a little Ewok…We joked he might not want to come home after spending time with Irine and her family! They cared for him like family and it showed. Tito was happy and healthy no stress when he came home. Completely different from when we used a kennel in the past, he was not happy and would tell us as much all the way home… Thanks Rover for the connection, we had peace of mind that Tito was in good hands!”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”

“Monica is superb all around! I like that my pup had other pups to play with at Monica's house. I will definitely bring my pup back. So confident that he's in good hands with Monica's household! Thank youuuuuu!!”

“Mrs. Rochelle is simply amazing and has a beautiful family that helps her. She is very patient and kind. Our Taz can be a bit rambunctious but she said he did well. She sent photos while we were away on our trip. My grandpups were well taken care of. We will definitely use Mrs. Rochelle again. Thank you so much for caring for our fur babies.”

About: I truly love animals, especially dogs. They’re not just pets — they’re family. Caring for them brings me so much joy, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening visits, I make time to give every dog the love, exercise, and reliability they deserve. I care for pets as if they were my own, whether in my home or my client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. In my client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping the space clean and secure.
“Emmeline was an amazing sitter. She watched my dog chico who has many quirks and was able to handle them all without any issues. She sent me tons of photos during the sit which I loved. We definitely want to use her in the future.”


“Chewy had a great time! Plenty of pictures were sent during his stay! He was welcomed like it was his home! Thank you som much for giving Chewy so much love! Will definitely book again when needing a sotter!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 10 years — as a pet owner, and at one point as a foster to a rescue dog. That experience taught me a lot about patience, reading a dog’s body language, and helping an animal feel safe in an unfamiliar environment. It’s shaped the way I approach every dog that comes through my door. I want to ensure your dog has the quality time they deserve and I only take on one family’s dogs for boarding at a time. This is to ensure I can properly give your dog(s) proper attention and personal time. Every new dog gets their own space to decompress first. My home has separate gated areas where they can take in the new sights, sounds, and smells before meeting my dogs. Introductions happen slowly and on their terms — some dogs are ready in an hour, others need a day, and either way is perfectly fine. By the time they join my dogs, it feels natural. Working from home part of the week means your dog gets real, consistent company and attention throughout the day. We go on daily walks, there’s plenty of couch time, and the little things — a change in appetite, a dog who just needs some quiet — never go unnoticed. You’ll get regular photo updates and check-ins throughout the stay, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I have cameras throughout nearly every room and dogs will be separated/crated if needed when I need to step out, so your dogs will never be left unsupervised. If this sounds like a good fit, reach out! A meet and greet is always the first step to make sure everyone’s comfortable and compatible. I am work from home most days of the week. I can accommodate my work schedule to ensure that I can be home the whole time during your dog’s stay. I have a fenced backyard with a separate potty area. I take my dogs on walks every day as well. Dogs are allowed on furniture and I have separate gated areas so that dogs can acclimate in their own space before joining my dogs.
“Cooper was genuinely cared for and very well taken care of by Rachana and her family! We were at peace due to regular and detailed updates about his settling in phase. Being an anxious pup, Cooper needs a considerable amount of patience and love to feel at home and he seemed to feel at ease very soon at Rachana’s place. Their pup is super friendly too and was great company for Cooper during his stay! Thank you for your care and affection towards Cooper!”
