“We love having Maria watch our two dogs and cat. She is great about sending pictures and updates. Our animals seem to remember and love her!!”

About: I work at an animal hospital full time. I enjoy working with puppies and senior dogs. From training them to giving medications is something I am good at. I enjoy spending time with animals. I work full time at an animal hospital. I am available Sunday- Saturday. I can let your animals out on my lunch. I am available before and after work to let your animals out or take them on a walk!! I do not have a fenced in yard at this time. However I am able to take them for walks 3-5 times a day. I am also able to take them to the dog park near my house!

“Kelsi is great! This is the second time she’s cared for our dogs and has been very flexible and great at communicating. We will definitely book again!”

“Rose is a kind, professional and polite dog sitter. She is prompt and took excellent care of my dog’s needs. I was impressed that she could handle my large energetic Saint Bernard so well right away! Anyone who loves their dog like their child will have peace of mind with their canine in Rose’s hands.”

“Awesome!! Is the only word that comes to mind. She came and done 2 meet and greet with my fur babies just to ease my mind. She did overnight house sitting for ALL 3 of my babies and did a fabulous job gaining the trust of my 2 rescues and my loving sweet boy Tyson. She was sending pictures of them playing and cuddling and loving on all of the fur babies. She kept me informed and was great with communication. She even offered/asked for light housekeeping things she could possibly help with while we were away. She went above and beyond and for that im grateful!! And will definitely be booking Again and again and again... lol Highly Recommend her for all your fur babies needs!!”

About: Trust and relax while you’re away from your pup knowing he/she is being cared for my a self proclaimed, Dog Dad! I have a one spacious fenced in back yard and open concept living space to make your dog feel right at home. Crates for overnight upon request or reasonable caution only. No kids or pets other than house trained dogs. Special arrangements can be made for dogs who need special care, please do not be afraid to voice cautionary measure needed to make your dog enjoy their stay here. Please provide enough dog food for your dogs to eat at least 2x per day. Try and bring their favorite food so they will eat it in the allotted time for breakfast and dinner as grazing is prohibited as a cautionary measure taken to deter food aggression. Dog treats and water will be provided as complimentary. Very organized and communicative. I have dogs of my own and they are all kind of trained but very socialized. I wake up around 6am and primarily work from home allowing me to provide frequent care and supervision to our doggie guests. Mac, my youngest goes to the dog park 4-5 times per week. His favorite thing to do is play with other dogs. I have a huge backyard fenced in all grass with a 6 foot vinyl fence. I would prefer to offer services at my home rather than provide visits however I will offer that service around my boarding service. While they are at my home, all somewhat house trained dogs will have access to 2 guest bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillows or dog beds on the floors. Certain dogs will be crated overnight per parent request, otherwise will roam free. All dogs eat separately at pre determined 1/2 hour time blocks to deter any food aggression. All dogs will get at least 2 -3 treats/day and will always have access to water. If you have a dog who grazes, please provide their favorite foods so they eat when fed. If your dog has special need please provide written instructions via text or letterhead at time of drop off.

“Julia is amazing!! She spent a week at my apartment with my 9 year old dog Rory and it went really well! Julia sent daily pictures/videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I came home to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! She even kept my plant alive. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I strongly recommend Julia =)”

“Tyler watched our crew of four in our home where they're all most comfortable. Everyone was in good spirits upon our return and our home was left very tidy. We'll definitely be reaching out for his help again!”

“Great job and reliable! Was able to watch Dobby with a last minute request for a week. Really appreciate it and it takes a lot of stress away knowing our four legged family member is in good hands.”

“Easy to communicate with and felt like the pups were in good hands. I really appreciate the pictures of the dogs playing! Will definitely use again.”

“When I got home, I could tell my dogs were very well taken care of! They loved it! Rebecca was so professional and sent photos of the doggies while I was out of town! I will definitely be using Rebecca again for the amazing service my dogs received!”

“Rachel was great! Patrick really seemed to enjoy her and was happy to see her when she came to the house, and he even tried running back to her as she was leaving! Thanks so much for taking care of our baby!”

“Lauren has worked at our local veterinary office for the past 4 years. She just graduated from a pre-vet program and will be going to vet a school. She is compassionate and caring for all animals. She has grown up with animals all of her life and currently there are 2 cats, 3 dogs, 2 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs and fish in the household. If you need a dependable, terrific pet sitter look no further…Lauren is the one for you!!”

“After a bad experience boarding our Allie we decided to try Rover for a house/dog sitter. We were blessed to have Peyten come and dog sit for us. We had pics and updates throughout our trip and when we returned our baby was still her happy self. Peyten not only took great care of Allie but she left our house spotless! We highly recommend Peyten and will definitely call her again if needed. Thank you again Peyten, Lisa & Vince S.”

About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie. We breed and raise pedigreed Mini Rex, and pedigreed Netherland Dwarf bunnies for showing and pets. My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. I'm currently a stay at home mom who homeschools a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet during the day and he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. Can make special accommodations for boarding pets that don't prefer other dogs as long as they aren't dangerous. Our dogs stay on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. We do have some caged pets but they will be in a separate part of the house during boarding 🙂

About: I've had dogs in my care for the past 20 years, from puppies to seniors. I have cared for them all. There is just something about being around dogs that brings me joy. I work from home full time, so taking care of your fur baby is easy for me. I also have my own pup so I'm sure they would get enough play time in. I have a fenced in yard and one very active 3 years old (spayed) female fur baby that is a ball of energy. Note, dogs must be dog friendly to come chill with us. My dog Willow is very submissive and loves other dogs.

“Roslyn has watched my two girls (Sophie and Maggie) numerous times and they absolutely love her! She officially has the title as “Aunt Ros” in our house hold and the girls get so excited to see her! Our dogs are like our children and I could not recommend her enough! She is super trust worthy and very passionate with all of our animals!”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. When my parents brought me home from the hospital as a newborn, I was greeted by a basset hound. Since then, I have spent everyday with a basset! However, I have experience with dogs all ages and sizes. I love to walk and be outside but also enjoy some snuggle time! I work remotely so I am relatively flexible. I usually take a lunch break (sometime between 11 and 1) so that would be a perfect time to play with your pet! I am also available mornings (6-8:30am) and evenings (4:30-9pm) after typical working hours. I am more flexible on weekends with no major commitments. We have a fenced in yard and grass for dogs to play on. We allow dogs on the first floor of our home in any room. Our dog sleeps in a mudroom not in a crate but we do have a crate.
