“Glenn & Jillian were ABSOLUTELY amazing pet sitters! They took such good care of our pup Finn and helped ease our minds as this was his first time away from us. Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!”

“Kristin took my booking at the last minute and made time to come meet us before hand. She also went out of her way to pick up and drop off our dog which is NOT something she typically offers. It was a huge relief to find help for a very senior dog at the last minute.”

About: I always grew up with pets in my home and loved all of them so much. I have been on Rover for a good amount of time now, having experience with all kinds of dogs, understanding that they have their own unique needs. My dog walking hours are roughly 10:30-2:00 everyday during the week. I tend to have school in the afternoon. Weekends I’m open to walks but not every weekend. I only walk dogs within my service area to be more efficient driving between, I have a picture of where I usually walk dogs in my profile. Boarding: my sister is scared of big dogs so I only board small chill dogs at my house. I do housesitting though for those bigger dogs and love taking them on long walks in the morning and afternoon. Since I currently don’t have any pets I will care for your cat/dog as if they are my own with lots of love. I will gladly send picture and video updates of your pet. I’m here because I genuinely love pets.

We love having her support for Max for our trips and time away, and he loves having his own little vacations with her and her pups!”

We even had issues with flight/travel at the airport and they worked with us through everything to accommodate our complete change in schedule and were totally understanding. We can’t thank them enough. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a safe space for your pets while away.”

“Mckayla made my Rover experience such a breeze! I left my dog Lucy with her for almost three weeks and she was excellent at keeping me informed, communicating before, during and after pick up. She regularly sent me photos and updates of my Lucy during this time which really put me at ease while being away for so long. I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and looking forward to booking her again next time I'm out of town. Thank you so much Mckayla for taking such good care of Lucy! ❤️”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 25 years of experience caring for them. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from small companion dogs to German Shepherds and Huskies. I’m currently raising my third Husky, Sirus, who is an incredibly loving, playful, and friendly boy! I’m also a nursing student with a background in emergency medicine, and I have experience caring for dogs with more complex medical needs. My previous Husky had both diabetes and cancer, so I’m very familiar with administering medications, giving injections, monitoring health conditions, and providing extra attention to dogs who need it. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves playing, cuddling on the couch, or just relaxing, I want them to feel completely comfortable and loved while they’re here. I’ll also send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well taken care of! I’m currently a nursing student, so a lot of my free time is spent at home studying and hanging out with my Husky, Sirus! Since I’m already home spending time with him, welcoming another furry friend fits perfectly into our routine. I currently offer doggy daycare on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, along with overnight boarding on Friday and Saturday nights! Whether you need someone to watch your pup while you’re at work, have weekend plans, or just want your dog to enjoy a fun day with a furry friend, I’d love to help! During their stay, your pup will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of love. I have grassy areas conveniently located right outside my first-floor condo, making outdoor breaks and walks easy throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for our pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s regular feeding, medication, and potty schedules to help them feel right at home. My goal is to make every stay feel like a fun little sleepover or playdate rather than being away from home! And of course, I’ll send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My availability: * Tuesday: Doggy daycare * Friday: Overnight boarding * Saturday: Doggy daycare and overnight boarding * Sunday: Doggy daycare Drop-off and pickup times can be arranged in advance, and I do require a meet-and-greet with Sirus before accepting new furry guests to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I want every pup who stays with me to feel like they’re right at home, receiving the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog. I live in a cozy, first-floor condo with my neutered male Husky, Sirus. He’s incredibly loving, playful, and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes! For everyone’s safety, I do require that visiting dogs be friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs, especially males. I also require a meet-and-greet before their first stay to make sure everyone is a good match. My condo has convenient access to grassy fields both in front of and behind the complex, so there are plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, fresh air, and walks throughout the day. All outdoor activities are supervised, and dogs are always kept on a leash. Inside my home, your pup is treated like family! They’re welcome to cuddle on the couch, relax on the furniture, play with toys, or simply hang out with Sirus and me. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. As a nursing student with a background in emergency medicine, I understand the importance of safety, recognizing changes in health, and responding appropriately when something isn’t right. I also have personal experience caring for dogs with serious medical conditions, including diabetes and cancer. I’m comfortable administering medications and prescribed injections with proper instructions. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication routine, and care instructions closely. I’ll also provide regular pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so every pup receives the individual attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming home where your dog feels like part of our little family!

Sherry is great! Excellent communication throughout their time caring for our two dogs. She is calm, patient, and an excellent caretaker of our pack. I appreciated the quick response and taking our reservation last minute when our other plan fell through. Our dogs were excited to play with her other dogs in her care. I highly recommend Sherry! Thank you!

Booking with Molly was our first experience using Rover, and it was exceptional. Her communication is top-notch—she responded quickly and sent photo updates twice a day. She made both drop-off and pick-up completely seamless; she had our pup packed up, ready, and waiting when we arrived. She was also incredibly accommodating with our schedule when our flight landed early in the morning. This was our first time trusting someone outside the family to watch our dog since moving to the area, and we will definitely be booking Molly for all our sitting needs going forward. Thank you, Molly!

Karla was great taking care of my two quirky, spoiled pugs! This was the first time they have stayed somewhere other than their own home and I was nervous about how they would do, but they seemed to make themselves right at home and they came home happy so it was a good experience. Karla provided daily updates with pictures which was great and was always quick with communication!

Kelly is amazing, I had some back and forth on whether I needed someone to watch my dog Sonny and she was incredibly patient and flexible with the whole process. She took amazing care of Sonny. I'm pretty picky about who he says with because he's kind of a handful. Very particular, needy dog sometimes and she was amazing with him. At the end of my trip my flight kept getting canceled and delayed and she was really patient and flexible yet again offering to keep him an extra night if needed which was really helpful while dealing with a stressful travel situation. I highly recommend Kelly, she is wonderful!
