“Brittany took care of our aging dog (and itinerant cat) for a week while staying a our house in November, 2021. She was wonderful - very responsible and conscientious. Sent daily updates, pix and was really nice to work with. House looked great when we got home. We would be happy to have her sit anytime!”

About: My goal is simple: to be the absolute best part of your pet's day! Loving animals is what I do best, and having owned dogs for over two decades, I know firsthand the immense joy they bring to a home—and how intimidating it can be to leave them in someone else's care. (I also have a 20-year-old fat cat, so I’m well-versed in all 27 feline moods and love them through every single one!) Let me take the stress off your mind so you can rest easy knowing your fur kids are in patient, loving hands while you're away. After stepping away from the corporate grind, I'm fully pouring my passion into pet care! I bring over two decades of hands-on pet ownership along with professional dog walking experience to make sure your fur babies get the love, exercise, and attention they deserve while you're away. Safety is first! Collars and harnesses are fit checked before we ever leave the house. It's just as important to me that your pet is safe in my care. I check doorways before opening and closing, check areas for debris of any kind on the floor or in reachable areas that might result in a "not-so good time". Keeping your pet safe is my #1 goal.

“Monica did a great job looking after our 2 dogs and 3 senior cats, while we were out of town for a week (house sitting). She stayed at our house and did a great job of communicating and sending pictures. Our dogs fell in love with her. Everybody was happy and well adjusted when we returned. We would highly recommend Monica!”

“Bri is the best pet sitter ever! She took such great care of our baby boy, Wolfgang. She really treated him like her own pup. She made it a special experience for him and made him feel loved and cared for while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I grew up in a house that was always full of animals and kids, so chaotic and energetic animals do not phase me, and I can adapt well to whatever care plan is needed for your loved one. As an example of this, the last two dogs I cared for were very different personalities. I took care of an elderly 14-year-old Jack Russell, who was a bit blind so would nip on occasion, and needed spoon feeding and consistent potty breaks starting at 6am. Conversely, most recently I did a house-sitting stint for an owner of a rescued 5 yo Pitbull mix that needed almost constant attention and good tiring play. I have also housesat for many cat owners in the past few years of ranging personalities and needs; some needing some attention and play, others just needing food and water topped up, while another needed me to help her clean herself as she couldn't go to the toilet. I know that there are people with strict routines, and I understand that getting an external sitter or a walker can really mess with the structure you are trying to create. I want to help build that, not tear it down. I pride myself in being able to use positive reinforcement as an effective disciplinary method. I do not bribe or abuse the animals entrusted to my care. I work remotely, so I can be very flexible to the needs of you and your animals. Let me know if you have any questions :) I currently work part-time and remotely, so I can be totally flexible to your animal care needs. In the case of early mornings of 6am and earlier, I would prefer to have the animals stay here or I stay at the clients' residence. I live on the second floor in an apartment building where everyone owns a dog. Having animals stay with me is no problem at all, but there is no yard, so for dogs it would be exclusively dog walking/dog park if they were to stay here. I can be totally flexible in sitting at a clients' home.

“We had a wonderful experience with them! We really enjoyed meeting them beforehand and felt very comfortable having them care for our dogs. There were a couple of small communication details to work through at the beginning, but they were very resourceful and everything came together smoothly. They took our dogs on walks, kept them company, and gave them lots of attention. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and would absolutely have them watch our dogs again!”

“James is such a stellar person and catsitter! We left our two cats for the first time ever, and James kept them so safe and happy. He sent regular updates and wonderful photos. We can't say enough good things about him. I hope everyone is lucky enough to hire him. Thanks again, James. We look forward to working with you again. You're simply the best!”

“Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old dog, Rory. She was completely reliable, sent lots of pictures, and we could tell he was well loved when we returned home. She left our house very clean and communicated well with lots of pictures while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again!”

Lauren G.

“Lee was a fantastic caretaker for our 2 Labradors. One of our dogs is very shy and Lee took the time to connect with her. She was very dependable and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing. She stayed in our home and when we returned, Lee had taken the time to tidy up before we returned with some light cleaning. I would highly recommend Lee.”

About: I’ve always had a love and passion for animals (even dreaming about being a Vet as a kid). I’ve had many different pets throughout my lifetime from dogs and cats to hamsters and fish. I even have experience with administering medicine and caring for my elderly dog. I’m currently working full time as an education aide in an elementary school, so my availability is mornings/evenings on weekdays and anytime during the day or night on the weekend! I am currently caring for my very own cat that is very playful and receives lots of love and cuddles. I’ve also had dogs growing up so I have experience playing with them, letting them out/taking them on walks, feeding them, administering medicine, and even crating them.

“Nate is hands down the BEST dog sitter I’ve ever had! 5 stars all around with communication, respectfulness, professionalism, compassion, friendliness. I would recommend him to anyone, and I will be using him from now on to dog sit! He put my mind at ease while away by sending frequent updates with pictures and I never once was anxious about being away from my fur babies. I can’t thank you enough for devoting your time and giving the best care to my babies!”

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. At home, I currently have a pitbull mix and a weiner dog, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. I also have experience caring for cats and other family dogs over the years. I regularly dog sat a Vizsla named Henry, which gave me experience with high-energy breeds that need lots of attention, exercise, and affection. In addition to pet care, I currently work as a nanny for a family with a French Bulldog and a Bernedoodle, so I’m around dogs every day and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is something that’s naturally built into my everyday life and routine. My dogs are a huge part of my day, whether it’s waking up and letting them out first thing in the morning, feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or just spending time with them throughout the day. I’m very used to giving animals constant attention, comfort, and structure because that’s just how I’ve always cared for my own pets. Having both a pitbull mix and a weiner dog has taught me how different every dog’s personality and needs can be. One may want to cuddle while the other wants to play or go outside, so I’m very attentive to their behavior and routines. I also work as a nanny for a family with a French Bulldog and Bernedoodle, so caring for dogs is something that continues throughout my day even while I’m working. I honestly love being around animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Spending time with dogs doesn’t feel like a chore to me at all — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and naturally prioritize in my daily life. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I try to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so their pets feel comfortable, safe, and less stressed while they’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can make sure they’re happy and doing well. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person staying in their home with their pets, so I’m very respectful, dependable, and clean. I make sure the home stays tidy, follow any instructions carefully, and keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they know their pets are being well cared for. I genuinely enjoy bonding with animals and making them feel loved and comfortable while their family is away.

About: Hi! I’m Martha :) I’m the owner of Lyons’ Den Pet Boarding, a small, home-based dog boarding business focused on providing personalized, comfortable care for every guest. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have owned dogs since I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve developed a genuine love for caring for dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. Through Lyons’ Den, I’ve cared for dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn what helps each pup feel comfortable and settled while their family is away. At Lyons’ Den Pet Boarding, dogs stay in a dedicated boarding room connected directly to our home. The space was created specifically for our canine guests, giving them a comfortable area of their own while keeping us close by. Each dog has a roomy individual space with a cozy dog couch, soft blankets, pleasant lighting, and low background music. It gives them a comfortable place to relax, sleep, and unwind between activities. Although the boarding room is separate from our main living area, it is connected to our home, so we are always nearby. We use a baby monitor to keep an eye on our guests and check on them regularly throughout the day and evening. Your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, needs, and comfort level so we can provide appropriate care throughout their stay. Dogs are supervised during outdoor play, and we balance activity with quiet time so they have plenty of opportunities to rest and decompress. We also take cleanliness seriously. Couch covers are washed between guests, and accommodations are cleaned and refreshed regularly to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. We want Lyons’ Den to feel like a cozy home away from home — providing each dog with their own comfortable space, attentive care, outdoor fun, and plenty of opportunities to rest. 🐾 I am a stay at home mom! That means extra time to spend with the pets! My kiddos and I frequent the parks and walking trails, the more the merrier! I’ve cared for pets my whole life! I know how to remain calm in case of injury or anxiety! Calming music, safe and warm home, and always open communication!

About: I’ve grown up with animals all throughout my childhood, which i’ve helped care for. I had 4 dogs in my family home and loved growing up with them. This has helped me learn many skills and how to care for dogs. I was so interested in joining Rover because caring for animals is something I naturally enjoy. I would love to help families and to be a trusted person that you can rely on. My animals mean the world to me and I know how important it is to find the right person to care for them. Would love to get to know your four legged friends! I’m currently available during the weekdays as well as weekends. I work a job but have some time in between assignments so I am currently very flexible. I will accommodate to the needs of every animal making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as they can be. I will build trust and help every animal.
