1. Scott S.

“Scott was incredibly friendly and easy to book with. They took such great care of our husky Bolt and sent plenty of cute pictures and updates on our boy. They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!”


2. Jessica S.

“Jess and Scott are always our first stop for watching our pup! We have been taking him to them since we got him as a puppy and could not reccomend them enough. Kind people who want nothing more than to make sure your dog is loved and cared for, while still having a lot of fun while doing it. Great people!”

9. Rachel B.
“Rachel took care of my 2 month old German shepherd for 2 months. I would drop him off in the morning on my way to work with her and she helped get him potty trained and it helped that she had her dog at home to introduce him to socialize with other dogs. She did such a great job and highly recommend anyone as she is great with animals!”

“Samantha is amazing! So are her pets! We booked last minute and she was so willing to work with us! She is very responsive, will get back to you quickly. She sends lots of videos and pictures throughout your pets day! Your pet will get plenty of exercise if you book with Samantha! We have already booked another week with her! My ONLY negative with her would be Ollie is definitely going to miss his friends! ☺️”

13. Camille W.
About: Hi! My name is Camille and I believe a house is not a home without paw prints and fur. I have cared for many dogs and cats over the years and will care for yours as if they are my own. I have one dog, Sully, and three cats, Jackson, Ziggy and Mishka. I may often be heard at the farmers market saying “I’m just here for the dogs” but if you ask me if I am a dog or cat person I have to say both. I can’t pick just one. Right now, I am available on weekends only. I will update my calendar right away if that changes. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! With over 30 years of experience, I am ready to entertain and exercise your pet whether that be on a walk, at your house, or mine. For dogs- I have a fully fenced in backyard.


14. Kevin R.
“I have known Kevin for many years. I shared 4 dogs in the past with him. He was a great dog dad and is very caring to animals and takes care of their needs.”


15. Patty D.
“Patty came in clutch when my sitter cancelled on me a couple days before I left for vacation! She even took the time to come the day before to meet both Penelope and I. She sent us plenty of photos too! Penelope absolutely loved her. Will definitely use her again :)”


16. Mary S.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

18. Kaitlyn H.
“Kaitlyn is a compassionate and caring person. Not only does she exhibit these traits with people but also with animals. I have and I would trust my beloved pets to her care and be confident that they will be treated as if they were her own.”


19. Morgan H.
“Morgan is the ultimate dog lover and has never met one she doesn’t like. If she comes across a dog while we are out, she always has to stop and ask if she can give the pup some love. I have seen first hand how caring she is with animals and always gives them all her attention. Morgan is extremely prompt, responsible, and organized. She would be the ultimate Rover employee!”
