“This was our first time using Rover and the first time that our pup has been away from us. Megan and Brandon were great. They communicated clearly and regularly during to process leading up to our leaving our dog with them. They both made us feel very comfortable at drop-off and provided updates and even a video to give us peace of mind that our Clark was well taken care of. When we picked Clark up it was clear that he had a good time and was treated well. All interactions were smooth and stress-free. We would not hesitate to have Clark stay with Brandon and Megan again.”
“What a blessing Trace is! Her place couldn't be better suited for dog care. A huge fenced in yard front pirch & dog run. She also has 4 Basset hounds!! Lily took immediate attention to Teddy. Such a wonderful time she had.She is so kind, knowledgeable and detailed oriented. My 3 mo Great Pyrenees...Lily Lu felt right @ home. Didn't even look back at me to say goodbye! I have her on speed dial and looking forward to many outings to her home for Lily Lu! She's the best!! So is her grandson, Evan!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was in middle school. Since then, I've become a dog trainer and can provide care for a wide variety of dogs, including dogs with additional care needs. I'm an AKC evaluator and I spend my free time competing with my dogs in a variety of sports! I take special care and pride in the animals I care for. I have 3.5 acres for your pet to romp around throughout the day (while supervised of course). I work hybrid so I spend 50% of business days working from home. On the weekends, I don't have to go in-office. My entire life revolves around my dogs and adding your pet into our routine will be an easy transition! I have a 3.5 acre yard and 5 of my own dogs. I keep client dogs separate from my personal dogs and other client dogs unless discussed and agreed upon beforehand so you know your pup is safe. All of my dogs are friendly and play together easily.
About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and have experience caring for Havanese throughout their lives. I raised and trained my first Havanese from 3 months old, and she was a beloved part of my family for 15 wonderful years. After she sadly passed, I knew I couldn’t imagine life without a dog, so I welcomed another Havanese puppy into my family a little over a year ago. I’ve also always enjoyed spending time with my cousins and their dogs. We would get our dogs together regularly so they could play and socialize. My cousins recently welcomed a Goldendoodle into their family, and I’ve loved getting to know her as well. She enjoys long walks, playing fetch, and even dressing up! Through raising and caring for my own dogs and spending time with other dogs, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, affection, exercise, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I currently work a full-time job and typically get off around 3:30 PM, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I’m also available throughout the weekends and would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for and keeping your pup company! I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I always make your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and supervision while respecting your pet’s individual personality and space. I also keep a clean, secure environment and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 10. I am currently accepting to take of dogs in my home whether they doggy daycare, overnight stay, extended overnights, and dog walking/feeding. I love to give dogs all kinds of cuddles and love. I understand that dogs speak to us though actions in which I am very empathetic with. I will be patient, kind amd caring showing your dog(s) lots of attention and love. I have excellent references. I'm currently working part time, so while I'm gone I can crate your dog but will be back within 4 hours for a potty break! Im available between 5pm- 7pm for drop offs and pick ups Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday from 9am -5pm I have a home where your dog can roam or I can crate them if need be. I will keep them on a leash if when we go outside and I don't live far from a very large dog park where I can take your dog to play catch if you are comfortable with that of course.
“Promise made our pup feel right at home. She was very flexible and made a last minute adjustment for me. I look forward to bringing our pup back when we need help again.”
“Dustin was very flexible and my puppies loved him. He sent me daily updates and my dogs were very calm when i picked them up. We will definitely use Dustin again.”
“Mia enjoys staying with Corrie, Daniel, and family. They take such good care of her when we are away and are always our first choice when we need a sitter because we know they will give her lots of love. This was the longest we had ever been away from Mia, and we missed her so much. They were great about sending us "pupdates," which we always appreciate!”
“Henry had the BEST time with Aastha and Daniel! I got plenty of photos and updates and he seemed right at home and was treated like a member of the family. I highly recommend Aastha and Daniel, we will surely schedule with them again and again!”
“My dogs have stayed at Kait's so many times, she is their "Auntie Kait"! They're always very happy staying with her. It's great to know they're safe while I'm out of town, and Kait takes excellent care of them. She is extremely committed to animal care and safety, and Kait is always very flexible about pickup/dropoff times too.”
“Davis and Emma did a great job with my dog for the weekend! Very responsive with lots of pictures. Ayda looked like she had a great time, and I would definitely rebook with them!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including my own. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications if needed, and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I adapt to their individual needs and routines to help them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping pets company, I can easily adapt to their normal routine and give them the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and daily routines. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and close supervision to keep them safe and happy while you’re away.
“Melinda did a great job with Sheba. Even though it was very cold Melinda got Sheba outside to get exercise. She did a great job of learning about Sheba and understanding how to best take care of her”

Amy was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, Teddy and Lexie! She took such great care of them and sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Teddy and Lexie had so much fun and were happy and well cared for! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Amy and would definitely book with her again in the future!
Karlee was great. Our dog can be a little anxious with new places and Karlee did a great job welcoming her. Loved the photo updates of her stay there with Karlee. Karlee's home is set up with a priority of dogs in mind and we were very pleased with everything she did to give our dog a fun place to stay while we were away. Thanks again Karlee!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
