“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”

“Sydney is a great communicator and stays in touch often ensuring the safety, love and care of your pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was at ease knowing that she communicated so well and also was able to identify potential habits that may be developing. This was the best process for us and so glad we chose this route vs boarding him. Thank you for all your understanding and patience with our baby boy.”

You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Anita took amazing care of my senior cat! Her picture updates made me feel so at ease and I could tell my kitty was so comfortable. She also handled my cat's insulin and mealtimes very well. I could really tell that she and her family loved having my sweet girl around. I highly recommend Anita to any cat parent looking for boarding!”

“Stef was awesome! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Our dog is hesitant around some adults but she took to Stef right away. They went on walks and played. We received daily pics of their “festivities”. Our dog requires daily eye drops that she has to have twice a day. Stef was very attentive to our dogs needs.”

Dilly enjoyed playing in their large, fenced yard and had fun playing with their kids. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilly was happy and relaxed and ready to go the next day.”

About: Hi, I’m Aaron. I’m 40 years old and have been around dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been more than pets to me — they’ve been family. Available weekdays and weekends with a flexible schedule. I structure my days around pet care to provide consistent supervision, attention, and a calm, reliable environment. Safety and consistency are my top priorities, whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s. In my home, I maintain a calm, structured environment with close supervision and no overbooking. Dogs are always leashed on walks, and introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully. My senior Shepherd mix has a gentle temperament and does well with dogs and cats who are comfortable around other animals. In a client’s home, I respect routines, feeding schedules, and house rules exactly as given. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while away.
“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”
About: Hi my name is Brittany I have been trusted to watch family and friends pets since I was about 12 years old. I have also owned a dog since I can remember. I even foster puppies when im not dog sitting. My family consists to me, my husband and two young kids (6 and 4) and as a team we all help take care of the animals we watch. Because of having little I only work part time so I can be home taking care of your pets. When we are not home they will be in their own oasis giving them the freedom to be comfortable and feeling of safety. Also with safety the dogs will be kept in our large backyard that is fully fenced in to allow max amount of running and freedom while outside. Walking an animal is not an issue but it would be much appreciated if it could be kept to once a day. Thank you for taking the time to consider us and we look forward to taking care of all your pets and their needs. I work part time and my husband works 5 minutes away from my house. My job is extremely flexible and with my husband close by he is also able to stop by during lunch to let animals out if it is needed. As stated my yard is fully fenced in and pets can be separated during feeding if they prefer. My kids love to have us take them on walks so if that is needed that would not be a problem. We try to have an open door policy, if the weather allows for it we leave our door open so the animals can go outside as needed. Crating an animal is also not an issue. We have one other dog who has also gotten used to having random dogs come over as well.
“First time using Rover (recommended from a family member). From first experience with Rover and first sitter, I am very impressed! Sauddi and my cats got along very well. (They are friendly to everyone and will not go near people they sense are problems.). She provided daily videos, images and messages to update their status. She definitely did a fantastic job and, recommend her for a cat sitter. Gentle and kind. Thank you so much, you were a big help! 😊”

Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!
The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!
Wyatt took exceptional care of our 10-week old miniature dachshund - (after just having her home for one week!). We could not have picked a more responsible, competent, and caring person to look after Linguini, and we know that he looked after her like his own dog. Highly recommend, and would definitely look to him for help again. Thank you, Wyatt!
Our regular dog sitter fell through at the last minute and with an international trip coming up I was very nervous about leaving our dog with a new sitter. But Jenna was fabulous! She took such good care of our dog and sent me photos and updates every single day. She was quick to respond to my messsges, and overall, i appreciated her attention to detail. Jenna, we will be returning to you!
Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍

Hailey was absolutely wonderful , took such good care of my dog Klaus, sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away, Honestly I would of never felt comfortable Leaving Klaus if it wasn’t for Hailey ,she literally is amazing with him , She made my dog feel like Family and he had a blast playing with his new Pal pilot , I’ll be using Hailey again, I highly recommend !
Jared was very accommodating and responded timely to any questions I had. My dog had a great time at Jared’s! I have an older dog who had a few special needs and Jared did an awesome job with him. Jared was able to give my dog a few short walks during the day and he loved that. I really appreciated all he did for my little guy!
