“Jerry was amazing and took excellent care of Raya. He even celebrated her first birthday with a pup cup and doggy cookies! I very much appreciated the updates and pictures of how she was doing. Highly recommend Jerry!”

“Andrew was great with communicating, ensured Rupert was safe and comfortable, and got lots of walks! He also sent update photos so I knew Rupert was enjoying himself and administered Rupert’s daily medications without a hitch! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Amy was awesome! It was my first time leaving Bailey with anyone other than family. I expected to be nervous but I felt very confident and at ease, especially when Amy sent me photos and videos of Bailey hanging out with her and her family. Bailey did great and I will definitely be calling Amy again when I need a sitter!”

“My dog stayed with Sue-Ling, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of my dog. Kind, patient, and really attentive to her needs. It was clear from the start that Sue-Ling truly loves animals and treats them like her own. There was a small health issue while I was away, but Sue-Ling handled everything calmly and responsibly. She kept me updated right away and made sure my dog was comfortable and safe. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in such good hands. I’m really grateful for the care and attention Sue-Ling gave to my dog, and I would absolutely trust her to look after her again anytime. She’s amazing!”

“We love Haley and her sweet gentle little girl. They took great care of our Chi Chi. This was our 1st time using Rover and we were a little nervous. We will never be nervous again as long as Haley is available. Special points for her large backyard. Lots of room for pups to play.”


“Taylor and family did a fine job of taking care of our dog, Billy. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up, and he sent us videos of him playing and enjoying himself in their home. I highly recommend Taylor.”


About: Reliable and attentive professional dog sitter dedicated to providing safe, comfortable, and stress-free care for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Experienced in daily routines including feeding, walking, administering medications, and maintaining consistent schedules to keep pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Known for a calm, patient approach and strong attention to detail, I focus on building trust with both dogs and their owners. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra support, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and a clean, secure environment so owners can have complete peace of mind. Passionate about animal wellbeing and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I have decided to make caring for pets my full time job. I am single and live alone with my 2 yr old female pupper. We have plenty of time to make your fur babies feel how special they actually are. I have a small fenced in yard. If it's nice out then I like to leave it open so they have free reign. My place is small so I'm always near. I will only accept pets that get along with other dogs. It starts with my dog, Kaiya. She gets along with all dogs so if a dog has a problem with her then they won't be invited for doggy day care. However, that does not mean I cannot pay a visit to your house for any needs. I can also crate any dog that is better suited for that environment. Safety for all pups under my watch is the number one priority.
“Clare was awesome! She took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with lots of photos. She made sure my dog got plenty of walks and was really attentive to her needs and food preferences. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel could not have been more caring. Oliver enjoy his time with Rachel and loved his playtime. She was so thoughtful to send pics and videos of her stay with Oliver.”

“Brooklin took amazing care of my cat, Lylla, while I was away. Lylla is very shy around new people, but Brooklin was incredibly patient and was able to get her to warm up, which says a lot! She went above and beyond to make sure Lylla was comfortable and cared for, even helping encourage her to eat when she wasn’t showing much interest in food. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. Brooklin kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my spoiled girl was in good hands. I could tell she genuinely cared about Lylla’s well-being and treated her like her own. I would absolutely book with Brooklin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”


“Outstanding service! Carey updated us everyday with photos of our boy and asked many questions on our pups character/needs. We will definitely be returning to her. If you need someone to care for your pup, look no further!”

“Allie helped us out when we were in a pinch. So grateful for the peace of mind. Digi was able to stay cool while we were out in the heat. Thanks Allie! We will look ya up next time we are in the area.”

“Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.”

“Brinkley had an amazing time with Angela, never a dull moment always on the move. There were plenty of neighborhood walks, park visits, and even a fun beach trip. He loved hanging out with “Bear,” his new pup buddy, and the two played endlessly together. Angela kept us relaxed with daily updates, fun photos, and thoughtful touches that made Brinkley’s stay both exciting and restful. Thanks to Angela’s warm home, positive energy, and welcoming family, Brinkley missed them all last night, making our choice for his next boarding stay an easy one.”

“Hunter was AMAZING watching Archie. She made sure to update me frequently and sent pictures multiple times a day. She did an awesome job at making sure Archie felt comfortable at her home! 10/10”

“I could not have picked a better couple to take care of my best friend! They were not only loving and playful with Parks, they truly cared about what I mentioned to be her wants and needs. I have only traveled without her a handful of times (3 times at 16 years old is not an exaggeration). Donna made her comfortable, safe and loved. She cared for her knowing being apart was difficult for both of us. I would definitely use them again. I am even thinking of day care a few times a week, since she liked the interaction with other dogs to play with as she had 2 labs and another chihuahua that all past over10 years ago. I never considered how lonely she might be, because she never leaves my side!”


About: Hailing from an animal loving family, I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I've worked with small and large, young and old, male and female, loud ones, quiet ones lol, playful, not so playful haha. I have one current furchild and best child, Sunny, who is very friendly and outgoing with all walks of life. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule. During the summer I work some local farmers markets but most of the time I am home hanging with Sunny, going on an adventure with him, or doing a photo shoot either in my home studio or on location in the area. Bonus, I can take a professional photo of your baby in my home studio! I have a huge fenced in backyard perfect for zoomies and playing and my neighborhood, in general, is extremely dog friendly with plenty of walking trails. With your consent, I'm also happy to take your pup to the beach, for a pup cup, to the dog park, or any other suitable adventure. I have two large crates if needed and treats, toys, and balls galore.
“Jenn and her son were lovely hosts to my mini golden doodle. Jenn was very kind and friendly. Jenn very clearly cares a lot for animals! She gave my pup lots of attention and sent frequent photos and videos. 10/10. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: Passionate about dogs with 10+ years of experience in walking, feeding, and providing TLC to furry friends. I've also grown up with labs and currently own a sweet little pug. I currently work remotely, so I have flexibility during the week to play with your pups! I'm available any time on weekdays and Saturdays, and any time after 12 on Sundays to care for your pets. I make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable in their own home or mine, sticking to their routine and making them happy! I treat all dogs I care for as if they are my own.

Andrew and Erin, I’ve been the best pet sitters we could ask for! Our little multi-Pooh, Chloe, absolutely loves them, and has a great time with them! They are very communicative, kind and send lots of pictures and updates. It makes leaving her so much easier knowing that she’s having a great time while I’m gone.

Ryan was great! Made sure our babies were taken care of, got walks, and especially lots of snuggles, and he updated me on most days with pics. This was our first time using Rover (normally board the dogs), but I will definitely come back to Ryan next time we take a trip. Thanks for taking care of our love bugs, Ryan!

Audre was wonderful! She treated my dog, Alfie, like her own. She sent many pictures and kept me updated while I was away. She even cooked him a nice dinner of brown rice and veggies, which he absolutely loved! I would absolutely trust Audre to watch my dog again whenever I need to be out of town.

So happy I found Danielle. Dakota loved her right away, and she took great care of her while I was away for a full week. Dakota hurt her paw right before her stay and had to take medicine twice a day the entire time. Danielle was a true pro and kept me informed with lots of photos and videos each day, which I loved! Danielle will hands down be our go-to sitter from now on.

Rose took great care of our girl Jada! She sent us pictures of her sunbathing and lounging on the couch. This was the longest we had our pup stay with someone else & when we picked her up, she was happy & her normal self! Highly recommend. We already have peace of mind for a future stay in a few weeks with her knowing the past week went great.
