1. Maureen M.

“Maureen is the best dog sitter we have ever used. Our dogs are so happy! Maureen also went above and beyond while caring for them and the experience was overall stellar. We received so many high quality pictures of our babies while we were gone and it definitely helped with being homesick. Some of those photos will probably end up framed in our house! She also left a wonderful heartfelt note with dog biscuits and was happy to take care of other things around the house for us during her drop-ins. I have never felt so comfortable and confident that our babies would be cared for well. We will happily book with Maureen again in the future ☺️”

“Clarice takes very good care of her pets. They are always healthy and happy whenever I visit. They get a lot of affection, have a regular schedule and adjustments are made when necessary to ensure all of her pets are taken care of properly.”


3. Taylor F.

“Taylor was amazing and took care of our Nnedi while we were out with drop in visits, sending us great updates and pictures. Will definitely go with Taylor again in the future!”


4. Savanna S.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our JRT, while we were out of town. Not only was she great with Jackie, but Jackie loved her. For a Dog Mom with an aging pup that suffers from anxiety, that’s everything! Savanna is truly one of the best! ...Dogs know it too! :)”

“Great sitter, always sends pictures of your pups. Let’s you know how they’re doing. I will definitely have her as a sitter again. She’s was great with my pups and cat they loved her. I recommend her 100% she’s very friendly and great.”

About: I have worked in the pet care industry for over 10years. I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I can work well with dogs that do have issues with reactivity. I currently work at a vet clinic as a vet tech in training I work for a vet clinic, my schedule is somewhat predictable, usually 10hr days with an hour break at lunch time to take a dog out I have 2 bearded dragons that stay in their enclosures. And one dog. A springer setter mutt, that has some issues, but is relatively a good boy


7. Hailey F.
“Hailey is absolutely my dogs favorite caregiver other than myself. We have a an elderly dog, a high anxiety dog with a heart condition, and a high energy puppy. Hailey has found a way to connect with all of them and give each of them what they need. The dogs' excitement when she arrives speaks for itself. She is an incredibly trustworthy person who truly has a gift with animals. She is my go-to any time I need help with my pups!”


8. Aaron F.
About: I have some experience taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats, but most of my care experience comes from the animals I grew up with in my own home. I grew up with bigger dogs most of my childhood and even had a cat for a short time! I love all animals, big or small. I am a student who is quite involved on campus. I may have some availability during the day, but mostly in the evenings and on weekends. When at your place, I am comfortable taking your pups on walks, playing with them inside or outside, and doing really anything else they may need. I also love playing with cats or cuddling up with either of your pets on the couch if they just need some affection while you’re away.


9. Emily E.
About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.


10. Vanessa V.

“Vanessa was fabulous! I hate leaving my dogs and she made me feel like they were in good hands while I was gone. Will definitely book again♥️”


11. Jessica G.

“Jessica was great with our 115 lb Labrador Retriever. This was our first booking through Rover. Jessica came over a few days before the booking to meet with us and get familiar with Louie. She was prompt, reliable, and communicative, which we greatly appreciate. We felt comfortable having her in our home and leaving our dear pup (who loves finding all sorts of trouble) in her experienced care. I would highly recommend Jessica’s pet care services.”


12. Mikayla H.

“Mikayla really is the absolute best! She is amazing with our animals! This was the second time she has watched our fur babies, and couldn’t ask for someone better!”


13. Natalie O.
About: I am a stay at home mom, with a rescue dog, several rescue cats, and chickens. We have 25 acres on a gravel road and love being outside exploring. I love music, sunshine, and coffee. I love breakfast foods. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up in the country - we always had at least one dog and at least one farm cat. I am looking forward to meeting new pups by dropping in and going for walks! I am a SAHM so I am fairly flexible. We can stop by during the day for a walk or potty break and some playing. We have plenty of unfenced outdoor space. There will be other animals around. My kids know how to be gentle and do not get in pets' faces.


14. Natalie J.
“Natalie provided foster care for our adopted dog Nate, while he was in rescue. She helped him through his noise anxiety on his first 4th of July and ensured he started his life off right with potty training and basic commands. We will continue to utilize Natalie for any future boarding needs!”


15. Angelique G.

“Angelique did great with our puppy. She sent us pics and a video of Bella during her visit. We highly recommend Angelique!”

18. Shannon J.

“Shannon was great help with her drop-ins. I can definitely tell that while she was looking after my dog he enjoyed it just as much as she did. Her reports were very detailed and left me at ease while he was in her care. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in the future!”
