About: I have had all different animals all my life. I grew up working on a family farm, so I have experience with all different animal species. We currently live in Berlin with our 4 children, Great Dane Bella, and a mixture of farm animals. I attended PSU studying animal science, minoring in equine science. I am excited to meet your furry family members! I currently am a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible! I am available for visits, drop ins, walks, day sitting in my home, and overnight boarding. I have a fenced in yard connected to my house, with locks on the gates. I also have an outdoor dog kennel and dog house if you have a dog that stays outdoors. In the home we have an older Great Dane, but she likes to keep to herself and is a certified couch potato. We have several gates up in our house to keep pets safely separated. I welcome dog crates if you have them, or I do have a few I could use here if that is easier. We have a large property where we can take walks, or we even live close to a bike trail we can walk at. I have done drop in visits for puppies and dogs in the past, and have had great feedback. I can stay for a length of time and let your pets get some exercise and play. I am open to tending farm animals as well while you’re away.
“Faith was an excellent sitter! Marlie enjoyed her stay playing with the other dogs and cat. Faith was very attentive and took pictures of Marlow the throughout the time. Highly highly recommend.”

“Beth and her husband are great. I had never left my dog alone so needless to say I was very cautious. Beth takes care of a few dogs, all under 40 lbs. my honey is only 20lb so I like the max. Day care is held in her home which I prefer. And all dogs have access to the whole house and enclosed back yard. Beth also sent me regular photographs by phone of course, to ease my anxiety. I have booked two days a week with Beth because I know my baby is in good hands!”
“I highly recommend Brian for dog sitting my pet, Chase. It was last minute because the hotel that we stayed don’t allow pet to be left alone and I left a message to Brian that night if he’s available in the morning. He’s very accomodating and professional. He has also a very good place for dogs to play. This is my first time to use Rover app and gladly, we are really satisfied.”

“Kristina and Mark took care of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel while we visited a local attraction. We had excellent communication during the booking process and while he was in their day care. They were very nice to keep us up to date and sent us photos. Overall, they provided a great experience. We highly recommend them!”

“Crystal was fantastic with Chief. Coordination for his day care was extremely easy and flexible. I highly recommend her services and will absolutely work with Crystal again in the future when I’m back in town. Thank you!!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She took care of Vincent as if he were her own, with so much love, patience and responsibility. From the very first moment, her sweetness and professionalism gave us total peace of mind. Vincent felt safe, content and spoiled — y eso para nosotros lo es todo. We received updates, photos and messages throughout the day, always con cariño and attention to every detail. It truly felt like leaving our baby with family. Her service is exceptional, her energy is beautiful, and her dedication shows in everything she does. We are so grateful and will choose her again and again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended. She’s truly the best! 💕🐶✨”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, caring for them and making their lives as meaningful as possible. It began on my families old dairy farm when I was a child, and carried into my 15 year involvement within the veterinary/pet care industry. My passion for creating a safe environment for all animals has guided me to Rover, so I can operate my own business to my own high expectations of love and care for your pets! I have a vast amount of knowledge across all facets of the animal world including medical, behavioral, and enrichment. Pairing my knowledge with my nurturing instinct, unwavering love for animals, and gentle patience; it provides me with the skills and approach to give your fur-baby the best experience aside from being with you! I am a full time pet caregiver! I have flexibility 7 days a week to accommodate any and all scenarios for you and your fur babies! I am available to watch your pet in my home as well as yours. I do have indoor dens for your pup to stay in when not outside with me. I have all types of toys available per your preference. I have water, food, and treats available! I am also experienced in topical, oral, and injectable administration. I will be able to walk your dog multiple times throughout the day. I also have a quiet area for your cat as well!
About: I have a female Siberian Husky named Onyx who I raised and trained from a puppy. I grew up and had been around dogs small to very large. My family had a German Shepherd/Malmute mix and a Pomeranian that I would watch during their vacation trips. I can take your dog on walks with mine to the park, stop in to feed and let your dog out, or watch your dog for the day. My dog is very friendly and has grown up around other dogs of all energy levels. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is more flexible to align to you and your pets needs. I’m new to this service so it will be a learning experience at first, but I want to provide a safe and fun experience for your pet! I have a small apartment that your dog is more than welcome to spend the day in with me and my dog. I can also drop by at multiple times during the day, depending on the location. If you prefer to have your dog stay at your house, I won’t be able to spend the entire day there, but will gladly take them on a short/long walk (depending on preference), feed them and refill water.
“We had an excellent experience using Rover & meeting Allie. We were able to fully enjoy a family wedding knowing she was watching and caring for our pup. Everything went well, the schedule worked perfectly and we would definitely book again.”

About: Who can love your little ones as you do? I was licensed for child daycare in Colorado for over 10 years. We are animal lovers and guardians of two little dogs. Adults who love and understand the needs of little fur babies. We would love to get to know your special one too. Please make sure you add all of the info for the vet you use. All dogs will need to be current on vaccines and flea and tick care. Please keep in mind when you pay for one day it covers you for 24 hrs. So if you bring your baby at 6 a.m. you will be covered till 6 a.m. the following day. Any hours after that is $6.00 an hour. If you book for more than a weekend, I can be flexible (1 to 2 hrs) due to flight delays, etc. Thank you! I'm currently not working outside home so no matter what your little ones will have someone here at all times. I feed everyone seperately and we walk when weather permits. We have potty pads available for comfort in between outings. I allow access to my whole home and will enjoy a walk once a day or more weather permitting. We have a great time individually and daily with all our little ones.

“Very affectionate care for our 2 doggies. Fed them & gave one her pills. Only negative--I thought it was a non smoking house but I smelled smoke in the house & on dogs afterwards. Maybe I misread. But Jessica & family took great care of our babies.”

About: I’ve always had smaller dogs, my Yorkie passed last year and I’m ready to babysit and provide exceptional care. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have potty trained many! I’m currently working a flexible schedule and able to be at home during the day! I can be flexible regarding time your pet is alone-just let me know. I do not have any other dogs in the home! I’ll protect your pet as if it’s my own! Walks would be on a leash. I do not have children and my apt is completely pet friendly! My elevator opens to a nearly private space and we can enter and exit safely into and out of the building to use the bathroom! In addition I’m a walk from Bark social.
About: Hello! My name is Julia and I’m 27 years old. I’ve taken care of, rescued & owned nearly every pet imaginable. As a young child I grew up in a home taking care of various animals. For years I have been rescuing and re-homing animals of all sorts. Animals are a big passion of mine. I am very comfortable with injured, animals in need of rehabilitation, or animals in need of special medical attention of any kind. At the current moment I am available full time for your pet!!! For last 3 years I have worked as an EMT all over the country. As of right now I decided to go part time with EMS in order to have more freedom/ be able to work when I want to. I work as a part time EMT at the moment in order to set my own schedule. I want to expand my career and build clients with pet owners in hopes of fulfilling my dream of working with animals, rehabilitating, and caring for animals of all kinds. I promise to offer your pets a safe, trustworthy environment. No matter if I come to your home or they come to mine. They will be taken care of as my own and that is a promise on my part.
