I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.

This was Zildjian’s first Rover experience and it couldn't have gone better. Leanna was great and allowed me the opportunity to test put how he would do with a shorter than usual stay (4 hours). She was very accommodating and communicative. I could tell he liked her even though he starts out meeting new people a little in a vocal manner. He trotted right along side her into the house and the photos I saw of him playing with the other dogs showed me that he enjoyed his time. I would not hesitate to bring him to play again in the future!

Carrie and Mark are amazing with our little guy Ollie! He plays with the kitty Bennie, and gets lots of walks and play time in! He loves it so much there he runs right to the door without a second glance at me!

This is the second time our dog has gone to Amanda, and it has been a positive experience both times. She does some nice long walks and our boy loves that! He comes home good and tired! She’s a very nice person who seems to care for our pup the way she would care for her own. Definitely recommend and will be back again!

I can't speak highly enough about how well Sheryl cared for my dog during a weeklong stay. She kept me updated on how Kira was settling into a full schedule of walks and treats. Sheryl's love of animals is obvious and taking good care of Kira felt more like a priority than a pasttime for her. I will definitely seek out her services in the future.

My fearful dog has become comfortable very quickly with Emily. She doesn’t usually like strangers but Emily understands and doesn’t try to push her. I’m glad we found a good match for day care.

About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!

About: Hi, I'm so excited to meet your furry family members! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve been personally responsible for caring for and raising dogs since I was 7 years old. Most recently, I welcomed a 6-month-old German Shepherd / Mini Australian Shepherd mix into my life, so I am completely in tune with puppy energy, socialization, and the patience it takes to keep young, intelligent breeds happy and stimulated. When your dog stays with me, they will have the absolute best environment to just be a dog! My home is incredibly pet-friendly and designed for play, and I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play fetch, and burn off energy to their heart's content. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, careful puppy supervision, or just a cozy spot to relax, I tailor my day to make sure they feel loved, safe, and completely "joyed" while you’re away. I can't wait to give your pup a fun, stress-free stay! During the school year, I am a full-time 2nd-grade teacher, which means patience, structure, and careful supervision are practically second nature to me! But starting in June, I am officially on summer break, and looking after your furry friends becomes my absolute full-time job. Because I will be home all day, your dog will enjoy a highly consistent, attentive routine tailored exactly to their needs: Morning: We kick off the day with a morning potty break in my fully fenced backyard, followed by breakfast and some fun backyard playtime before the midday heat sets in. Midday: Since I’m home full-time, I provide frequent let-outs (every 2–3 hours), fresh water refills, and plenty of mental stimulation or puzzle toys to keep young or energetic minds busy. Afternoon/Evening: We wrap up the day with wind-down play, dinner, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. Whether your pup requires a structured schedule to match their puppy training or just wants a human companion by their side all day for belly rubs, I am entirely available to give them a safe, fun, and loving summer vacation! Safety, play, and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully equipped for puppy playtime, featuring a secure, fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run around, plus plenty of open space indoors. When it comes to pet care—whether it's hosting in my home or house-sitting in yours—my philosophy is simple: I treat your home and your pet exactly like my own. I focus on maintaining their routines, keeping them happy, and giving them the highest quality care and affection.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: We are a dog-loving family, especially of the small variety! I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life and began sitting through Rover three years ago. We are a homeschool family, so my 9 and 7-year-old daughters enjoy helping with feeding, playing with, and cuddling the pups. We also have a one-year-old son, so the doggies we take must be ok with small children. Our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Dulce, also really enjoys having doggy company, and we only accept small dogs to accommodate her. We promise to treat your sweet pup like he/she is a beloved member of the family! We homeschool so someone is usually available for a quick potty break or belly rub! Walking outdoors (in nice weather) is a favorite family activity so we try to take the dogs out daily. In the event we don’t make it out on a walk, the pups get their exercise and sniffs in by playing in the backyard. Our dog Dulce loves to have a partner in crime chasing squirrels our large fenced backyard! We are an active family with two girls (ages 9 & 7) and a 1-year-old son who also love to play and interact with the dogs. Our house has hardwood floors for easy cleaning. Guest doggies are welcome to sleep next to our bed on their doggy bed, or if they sneak up to find a cozy spot next to our feet we won’t complain!

Tofte had a great time at Alecia & Todd's. They had a great backyard for him to run in, and he enjoyed hanging out with all of the family members and other dogs at their house. Alecia was very understanding of some of Tofte's anxiety-related concerns, and we felt very confident leaving him in her care. She sent great updates and photos of the fun time he was having and how he was getting along well with everyone. We'll definitely use them again!

Tracy was such a great pet sitter for Luna. She was very patient and has a terrific place! We were visiting from out of town for a wedding. Tracy was available and Luna had a great time. Tracy kept us updated and sent a few pictures as well. I highly recommend her and will return again when we are in town. She was also very close to Lebanon Hills campground which is where we were staying, so also convenient from there too! Thanks again! Steve, Gloria, and Luna
