“Haley did an incredible job with our puggle Winston. She wore him out walking him, and that elevated his spirits like no other! She also provided plenty of updates on his well-being, and I would go to Haley again for Winston. 5 gold stars and an A+ grade.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.
“Mary Jane is calm and experienced with the care of dogs. She first kept Hibiki separate from her dogs until she got used to the new environment before gradually introducing her dogs. I’ll definitely try not to go out of town unless absolutely necessary but if I do, I’ll leave Hibiki in her capable hands again.”
“We had the BEST experience with Celsei!!! This was our first time using rover because our boarding place couldn’t take our dog, Ronan, for the weekend. We received several much needed updates throughout his stay which helped these nervous parents remain comfortable! Not to mention, it was sort of last minute that we reached out, and Celsei had absolutely no problem taking him! We couldn’t be more thankful for her! ♥️”
“We would definitely rebook with Derek. We got frequent updates and photos. Our girls seemed to have a great time with his dogs and family. They were treated so well. Thrilled he had the fenced in backyard. He took care of giving out the medications for one of our girls. Communication was great when it came to coordinate drop off and pick up. Made our long weekend out of state much more enjoyable knowing our two huskies were in good hands.”
“Mason was absolutely wonderful with both of my pups! He was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, making sure they were well cared for while I was away. He took them on plenty of walks and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me great peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking him again the next time I’m in town!”
“Such a positive experience! I received regular photos and updates about my pup while Ernie was caring for her. She was treated like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Ernie, and will happily leave my puppy with him again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.
“This was my first time using the Rover app. My now husband and I found Kimberly via the app to watch our dog for 7 days. She watched and took so great care of my dog. So much so that my doggie, who's typically skittish, kinda did not want to leave on pick-up day. I'm sure my dog had so much fun. Kimberly sent me pictures periodically. She and her husband are very kind and welcoming individuals. We are grateful that there are people like them in this world doing this great work. I was so at ease knowing and trusting that my pup was in the BEST hands. I'd recommend them 10x over to anyone!”
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bruce felt so at home. Sarah and her family treated our dog like family. They followed his cues to go outside and cuddled with him. Highly recommend!”
“Deborah and Cheesney are amazing!! I can’t say enough positive things to express this! My 2 dogs (one is a puppy) loved their time there. Deborah is so understanding, accommodating, and flexible! She took superb care of them and I can’t wait to use her again!”
“I was so thankful to have found Thomas to care for my pup, Daisy. She's a gentle old lady dog who's picky about eating and requires daily medication. Thomas was attentive to her every need and provided wonderful playmates, his pets, Maple & Olive. It's always hard to leave your pet with someone while you're away, but Thomas made it seamless, sending pics & videos daily. Thank you so much for your care, Thomas! I will certainly not hesitate to book again!”
“Becky has been awesome! She’s very communicative, sends us photos of our dogs everyday we’re gone, and I can tell how much she cares about our dogs. She is very thoughtful and tries to be flexible to meet your needs. I couldn’t recommend Becky enough!!!”
“Jenny was able to care for Maggie on short notice. She took superb care of my girl. She also provided pictures and video updates. Not something I required, but sincerely appreciated. I highly recommend Jenny and Freddie.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was young including dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and hamsters. I understand how important your furry friends are to you and I want to make sure I can be the best substitute for them. As I am a student-athlete and work part time, pet care is something I like to work into my spare time. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine so I like to try and make time for it each week. I care for pets just as I would want mine to be cared for, making sure I can be the best substitute for you. I am great at communicating how your pet is doing and can be a safe environment to build your pets trust.

Nora R.
“I highly recommend Nora as a dog sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Copper, on two separate occasions, and both times she went above and beyond. Copper absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that she has a natural way with animals. Nora is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring—she made sure Copper was not only well-fed and exercised but also loved and comforted while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future!”

“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
