“Sherilynn is the absolute best! Daisy loves going to her home! She knows the days that she goes and she is always so excited to see Sherilynn and her family! When I pick Daisy up, she is always disappointed to have to leave her friends!”
“Samantha is amazing! She takes wonderful care of my dog. She always sends pictures throughout the day of him having so much fun! She has also helped him to become a better trained pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Cliff was great! He took care of our 4 month old puppy for the day. She had a great time playing and felt right at home with Cliff. This was the first time we’d left her with someone other than family and Cliff made the process easy, having us over for a meet and greet a few days before the stay and sending updates throughout the day. We will definitely book her to stay with Cliff again and highly recommend him!”
“We needed someone on very short notice and these guys took Tucker in and immediately made him feel comfortable. They kept us updated and provided photos. He seemed to have had the best time!”
“Jen was an absolute delight and took great care of both of my dogs! She was extremely accommodating and friendly! I highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her in the future as the need arises!”
“Tamara is just fantastic. She was great and attentive to my dog and her dogs are so sweet and got along perfectly with him! She has a giant yard for them to play and he came home every time just so happy and relaxed! He slept like a baby both times! He clearly loved her, her kids, and her dogs! Such a wonderful family and home! She did such a great job at such a great price! I can’t recommend her enough! I will try and book her first when looking for anything regarding care for my dog! Thanks Tamara!”
“Jill & her family are awesome!! They treated Benji as if he was their own! We are nervous dog parents sending our pooch to just anyone, Jill eased our minds with a lovely meet & greet, updates throughout the day and filled us in on how Benji was at pick up time :) Would definitely recommend Jill!”
“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!”
“Katie was awesome with my 9 month old pup! She was able to accommodate on short notice, friendly, sent pictures, and most importantly Ollie had a great time (or at least think so as he must have played all day as he was asleep almost as soon as we got home!)”
About: I have experience with a wide variety of dogs, but especially with specials needs, senior, and small and large dogs. My old fur-baby, Jack, was special needs (born with scoliosis) and I did the majority of care for him. He lived to be 17 and a half. I work from home with a relatively flexible schedule. During the weekdays I am available for daycare, pop-ins, walks, and house-sitting. On the weekends I am available for boarding and overnights. I live in an apartment but am very active and can ensure plenty of outside time if desired. My complex also has a large fenced-in dog park area. I have one dog who is very friendly and can keep your dog company and play with. I am available to go to your place as well if prefered.
About: Let me help you with your pet sitting needs and you can help with my fur baby fever! I’ve been around dogs my entire life! As a child we bred and raised cocker spaniels . Since I moved out and have been on my own I have always had at least 1 dog and cat. Currently have a 3 year old shepherd retriever mix that is my baby and our senior cat. My husband works from home and I’m home during the summer full time. Summer care also includes more walks and or backyard play time. During the school year morning, lunch, and late afternoon potty breaks. Someone to keep company in the home office. Evening time with walks! We have a large fenced in backyard great neighborhood for walks and our dog is always excited for company! Boarding care - outdoor time will be morning, lunch, and late afternoon potty breaks. Someone to keep company in the home office. Evening time is extra play time with the kids and for walks!
“Sarah was fabulous. We had another Rover set up, but they had to cancel, so with short notice, Sarah was able to take care of your two little dogs. Her communication from booking and throughout the stay was wonderful and she was flexible with times, which was very appreciated. Our miniature poodles are a little shy with small children, but they did not mind running around the very spacious house with her two little boys. We highly recommend Sarah to take care of your dogs.”
“Jhoceline was great with our puppy. We were nervous at first to do doggy day care because it would be his first time away from our home, but Jhoceline really put us at ease. She kept in contact with us by sending pictures and updates everyday he was with her. She took great care of our little boy! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Thank you Rover for connecting me to Jill. The whole process was a success from the meet & greet to daycare. I appreciate Jill‘s knowledge when getting to knowCoco. She seems to have a true love for dogs:) I so appreciate the way she understands that each dog is unique and has their own special way of getting used to new situations it was exactly what I needed to feel comfortable with leaving Coco. Would highly recommend Jill plus her whole family is wonderful. They work as a team.
