“Teri is very knowledgeable and helpful with regard to our dog, Callie.She enjoyed going there, visiting the dogs, and checking out the fantastic yard. Her home is clean, open and perfect for the dogs she cares for.”
“Words cannot express my gratitude to Ashley for accomodating my chiweenie Coochie last minute on Easter weekend. Coochie was untrained and antisocial and Ashley worked her magic and taught her how to sit and socialize, even with bigger dogs! If I could give seven out of five stars, I would. This woman and her kiddo are a wonder team of dog trainers that you don't want to miss if you need someone to trust with your 4-legged baby. What a relief and a delight! Thanks Auntie Ashley!”

“Gail has been an awesome sitter for our shadow. This was our 2nd time using her services and shadow seems to be very happy and well taken care of when at Gail's. Thank you so much Gail.”

“I can’t say enough about the care my pup receives when I have to have some mommy time. I am truly blessed to have found Vicky and totally trust Zoe is in the best of care with her ❤️❤️❤️”

“Ron is a warm dog-loving guy whom I totally trust with my dog. His two little dogs get along great with my dog, and sleep in a little group. My dog hates to be left alone so I appreciate that Ron doesn’t leave home much. He helped my dog learn to use the doggie door which was new to him.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little, whether that was taking care of our cats and dogs or watching a neighbors pet. I worked in the veterinary field for a couple of years and a technician so I am comfortable administering any medications. I am open to sitting dogs of all ages, I just ask that if they aren’t potty trained to please provide a kennel. I have a border collie who loves to make friends so we hope to see your furry friends soon! I am currently a PhD student here at the U of A. I do have classes and work during the weekdays but I am available after 5pm. On the weekends me and my dog take it easy and stay in. I do live in an apartment complex. There are two dog parks present in the complex if you would want me to take your pet to run some energy out (but totally understand if you would prefer no visits to the dog park). I am able to crate any pet that needs to be I just ask that you supply the crate since I do not have one at this time. I do have a 7yr old border collie who loves to meet new friends and is very patient with energetic breeds. I take her on a long walk at least once a day and will definitely take any pet I watch on a long walk too (a girl has to get her steps in).

“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Kash was happy was playful during my 10 day vacation. Sylvia sent video and photos to show how well he was adjusting. It was a pleasure to see that he was loved and well-taken care of. Thank you!”

“Abriana and her pet family are a joy. Our initial was great and very welcoming. She has a very pet friendly environment for both dogs and cats. For our stay she gave just enough daily updates. What I liked was her honesty that Pilar had anxiety and wasn't initially social with anyone. So she sent pictures of Pilar hiding in the corner or shared she went under the bed. She also shared her eating pattern. I would recommend her and use her again. If your a laid back pet parent with a no super fussy or high maintenance pet, give her a try. She reminds of the neighborhood college babysitter that everyone loves and uses for a parents night or weekend out.”


“Richard and Jeannette are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my little guy with anyone since he had never been left with anyone but family before. He warmed right up with them and they truly treated him like they’re own and took such good care of him! They gave updates his entire stay and sent pictures of him being spoiled :). We will definitely be using them every time we need a doggy sitter!”
“Lauren was Amazing!!! She cared for my dog like it was her own, would definitely rebook again with her! she would send me pictures each day and how my pup was doing and kept me updated with how things were!! Thank you!!!”

“Michelle was a dream for my Desi girl! She is so incredibly kind, caring and attentive to my pup 😊. I appreciated her consistent communication while I was out of town, her experience with dogs is invaluable, I HIGHLY recommend her to all pet owners!”

“It was our first time using a pet sitter service and we were a bit apprehensive about it. Julie invited us over and answered all our questions and put our worries to rest. She sent us daily pictures, Sam and Bobby were always happy and joyful. We were extremely happy with the care that they received and would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Lara was absolutely AMAZING. This is the first time I’ve ever left on a trip and not worried for a moment about Georgie. I received check ins and photos and knew that Georgie was having the time of her life. I can’t wait for the next time I need to ask Lara to watch Georgie, she will be so happy! Thank you LARA!! I cannot recommend her services enough.”

“Oh My Goodness!!! Beth - you are a godsend and an angel ?????? Ozzy and Roari had the best time with you and your family! I felt very comfortable and confident right away at our ‘meet and greet’. I’m delighted my two settled right in. Your fur babies were wonderful company for my guys. Your home and yard offered them a fun, safe, comfortable that allowed for lots of new sights and smells and stimulation!!! I am so thankful I discovered you on Rover and 5 stars just aren’t enough but it’s all I can give for your exceptional care of my babies. I will be sure to let everyone I come across that needs someone to help with their dogs my recommendation of you. (That is as long as you always make room for my babies LOL). I’m already planning another trip as I mentioned when I picked them up!!! We may need to come visit again soon too. Hugs and hugs and hugs ❤️❤️❤️”

“Awesome! Kiya was so happy and well taken care of! Nice big yard, daily excursions, lots of love and play. Elizabeth sent photos and updates daily. We will be back for sure.”


“Robyn was great with my two boxers. She was flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and she kept me up to date with texts and pictures. The dogs seemed to have a great time, and I would definitely use her services again!”

“Courtney and family were wonderful! My little girl was treated with lots of love and kindness and I am sure she enjoyed all the attention she got. I felt very comfortable leaving her with this great family, and I look forward to Precious having another visit with Courtney and family....they are "outstanding" .”

“We’re incredibly grateful for Jessica when taking care of Lilo. She was very accommodating and made the whole experience stress free. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Lilo was in such good hands. We highly recommend her!”

Marraya was available when I had a sitter cancel last minute and provided excellent care to my adult dog! She took her out on walks, sent photos and updates throughout the day, and made sure my corgi was happy and healthy throughout her stay. I will definitely be using Marrayas services again in the future!

I was afraid my dog would have separation anxiety and was nervous leaving her, but Gail is amazing! My dog didn't even need her anxiety meds! I got daily updates and pictures of my dog, Huney. I will definitely be using Gail again wherever I go on vacation! Thank you, Gail!

Our very timid dog has struggled to endure previous boarding periods. We brought her home from Lesley's house calm and relaxed back into her home life with no stress or anxiety. I will be booking her next visit when I finish the review. My only possible concern is that she was extremely thirsty when she got home and I don't know if she was unwilling to drink from the communal water bucket but she doesn't drink from the water at the dog park but she is uneasy about everything there! I am really impressed with Lesley and her way with dogs and feel more comfortable with her and her care than any other person we've met.

Claudia was over all amazing. From communicating with me during booking as this was my first using Rover. She communicated quickly and messaged me as soon as I asked for an update. My dogs enjoyed her company and she made my dogs feel safe for their first time away from home. We truly appreciate her and would recommend booking her if you are looking for a reliable sitter. Once again thank you for your service and we look forward to booking again.

she did amazing! sent updates and pictures of my fur baby daily, tons of trips to the dog park, and even went above and beyond to make sure my korra was well taken care of after she got scared by the fireworks on the 4th. definitely will be rebooking in the future, again thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby!

Kayla was absolutely excellent with my dog Maggie. She sent pictures and updates every single day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Maggie was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great, very reliable, and I could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter
