“Thanks for giving Ginger lots of love while we went away overnight. She came home very happy and it's good to know she got along well with the other dogs.”
“Jieun was really friendly, took great care of our dog and sent lots of photos and updates. I would definitely ask her to watch our dog again!”
“I highly recommend Gaileen! I had never left my senior dog with anyone other than family before and Gaileen was great at making my dog comfortable and sending me updates! She has been professional, reliable, and caring. My dog is looking forward to more overnights with her! 😊”
“Our dog, Taz, had a great time staying with Howard and Kathleen. We've dropped him off on a few occasions for doggy daycare and he has stayed with them for a few days while we were out of town. You can tell by the way he walks up the stairs to their place, tail wagging, that he likes hanging out there. Howard and Kathleen were also very flexible with our travel schedule which was a bit up in the air and meant we had to reschedule some of Taz's vists. We would definitely recommend.”
“Jayme is amazing! I appreciated her attentiveness to Jazzy’s idiosyncrasies . She texted whenever she had questions in a way that I knew she really cared about him. Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!”
“Otter always looks forward to going to Stephanie's home! He romps and plays with the other dogs, and she takes fabulous care of him while I'm away. He gets to go on nature walks, relax in her bed, and play and be a dog! She sends frequent updates, and I'm always comforted by how happy Otter looks! I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking through Rover to take care of their pup!!!!”
“Always a pleasure to take Peanut to Brianna. We can see Peanut is taken great care of at Brianna's. When Peanut got off the car, he happily led us to Brianna's without being distracted by other things on the street. When we pick him up, he's very happy and we can see he had a great time and has lots of affection for Brianna. Brianna sent us photo updates and generously accommodated us in terms of our schedule. Thanks Brianna!”
“Malik kept us in the loop the whole time we were gone with pictures and updates! Our furry buddy was relaxed and happy, when we picked him up! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer dependable, loving companionship tailored to each pet’s needs and one thing I can say I specialize in is accustoming to different routines based on your pet’s schedule and preferences, from long walks to playtime to quiet cuddle sessions! I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, love, and respect. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I currently work at a daycare full time, however my schedule is flexible and I have weekends off which gives me more than enough play time for your furry friends on the weekdays and weekends! I have a large fenced backyard which gives the dogs a chance to run around and play freely. I also have a partner who is a Firefighter and a huge dog lover and works every 4 days so on the weekdays when I am at work they will still be with someone at home offering lots of love and attention.

I will happily utilize her services again in the future.”

Thanks again for taking such good care of Jazzy. I can tell he had a great time. My usually velcro dog was reluctant to leave!
Zuleima was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative and responsive whenever I had a question. I also appreciate that she was sensitive to Maya's quirks , ie., her shyness and worked with that very effectively! I felt confident leaving Maya, knowing that she was in very good hands! Will definitely use again!
Bianka was wonderful with my dog Howie. She was responsive and provided frequent updates while he was in her care! I’d absolutely recommend Bianka to anyone in need of a dog sitter. :)
This was our third time boarding our anxious little dog with Mikayla and Justin and there’s a reason for that—they are excellent dog sitters. They send detailed updates with photo and video evidence of what a great time our dog has with them and how much she loves staying with them. It’s so great to have peace of mind that our dog is being so well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend booking with them! We will again!
Jacqueline was very professional and eased my concerns with leaving my baby for the first time, I was so nervous. I was sent pictures of my baby which calmed my nerves down. If she would take Denim again when needed I would love it. Thank you and I would put in the highest recommendation that I could for a great dog sitter
Sandra was absolutely wonderful with our goldendoodle, Oscar! She treated him like part of her own family, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We loved the regular photo updates and could see how happy and well-cared-for he was. We’re so grateful to have found someone so kind and reliable. Highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a loving sitter!
We’re so grateful for everything Allie did for our pup Emmy over the long weekend. Emmy got lots of love so I didn’t feel any of the usual guilt leaving her behind when I went out of town! Allie was responsible, communicative, easygoing- I could not ask for a better dogsitting experience.
Quinye was very accommodating with my dog, since we had to book last minute. She kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time, and was very kind with my pup. 10/10 recommend!
