“Nick dropped in to check on our pitbull Rainbow while we were gone for the day. Appreciated that he sent plenty of pics and she seemed very happy and well looked after. Thanks Nick!”



“Chelsea has been a life saver taking my dogs out to potty while me and my husband work night shift certain days. I have a 150lb Great Dane puppy and she does amazing with him. He can be a lot of puppy if you’re not stern with him! She is always on time, communication is superb & gets the job done!”


About: I've cared for animals my entire life. Animals in my home are well loved; including baths if requested, exercise, and lots of play! I'm very accommodating. I work full-time from home, mostly on virtual meetings spread throughout the day. I'm up early each day and always ready for a nice walk! My yard is mostly fenced, but dogs would be kept on a leash for safety. Pets are welcome to sleep on any furniture. Food and water is available at all times in the kitchen.

About: I am a dog whisperer and a teacher. I am a husband, coach and father that will put your animals wants and needs first always! My family and I have dogs. 1 large breed, 1 medium breed. I walk them daily, work on commands and love playing in the backyard. I have a tall, fenced in backyard where the dogs play. I work on commands in the living room. My dogs have a designed sleeping area for our dogs.

“Katie is the best! My cat Ollie adored her and she took excellent care for him especially giving him his medicine. She was communicative if there was a schedule change and if it was okay. When we go on a trip again, Katie will be taking care of Ollie 100%.”


“Jenny is the absolute BEST!!! She gives wonderful recaps of her visits and the funniest/cutest pictures! I’m confident our guy has a great time when she comes to visit him!! Couldn’t recommend enough”


About: I have been taking care of pets for over 2 years. I love all pets no matter what type! I understand that pets are family and require the best care! My current work schedule allows for me to be off in the summer! I want to use that time to take care of pets! I love my dogs like family and I will yours too! I can take care of your pet the way you need me to. I have experience with walking, crating, or letting dogs out in the yard. Whatever your needs are, I can deliver.

“Mitzi is absolutely amazing. She sent me pictures of my baby boy during visits. Which were always an absolute delight to receive. I know my baby boy is in good hands. She also provided some general observations for me to follow up on.”


About: I have been an animal lover since birth. Currently my husband and I have 6 dogs (4 french bulldogs, 1 german shepherd, 1 rottweiler) and 1 cat. I am comfortable with all age groups. I work full time from home Monday-Friday so I would be available for mid day potty breaks depending on proximity to me as well as availability after 4pm weekdays. Weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are typically free any time. I am comfortable following whatever instructions the fur parent leaves for me regarding their pets care in their home. I am comfortable walking dogs, playing, crating, cleaning up messes from a pet etc.


“Courtney was great for our drop in visits. Quick communication and very happy pets! She walked and played with our dog and was great knowing she was there to give them some company. Would def book again!”


About: Hello! I am a positive-reinforcement based dog trainer and lover who has experience with a plethora of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, and medical issues. I have an extensive history with caring for and training dogs, with a specialization in the training of fearful or reactive dogs. I believe that the responsibility of caring for another’s pet goes beyond the necessities: it is ensuring that the dog is comforted during an often difficult time, and the owner is reassured that their pet is in the best hands. Further, it is necessary to be sure that the animals physical, emotional, and needs are fully met. I hope to establish a relationship with the pet(s) and their owners. I genuinely care about the wellbeing of animals and make a great effort to ensure that the pet is comfortable and well taken care of. I am currently working in other animal care positions and am able to adjust my schedule to your pet’s care needs. My schedule is relatively flexible, and can be adjusted. I have a sweet Shetland Sheepdog who lives with me, as well as cats. I am very cautious about keeping doors (and inside gates) firmly closed to ensure safety,

About: We love our fur baby and understand how important it is to make sure he’s cared for when we can’t take him with us on a trip or aren’t able to work from home and spend the day with him. My wife and I have been married for four years and we were thrilled when our living situation finally allowed us to welcome our pupper, Oliver into our home. He’s a sweet three year old hound mix that loves the companionship of other dogs. Our pet experience goes far beyond the past couple years because both of us grew up with family dogs. My family had several larger breeds while my wife’s family had smaller breeds. Since adopting Oliver we’ve realized how difficult it can be to find the kind of care we are comfortable with. Kennels can be pricey and the scheduled outdoor time and seemingly impersonal care made it hard to leave him. We love that Rover helps us find a good fit for our fluffy love. We want to be able to provide that for you and your doggo. I work from home and my wife is a stay at home mom, making it easy for us to provide your pup with the time and attention they need. We’d be happy to provide photo updates on how he or she is doing to help set your mind at ease during your dogs time with us.

“James was awesome!! He was so sweet to my dogs, and showed genuine concern for my older dog with joint problems. He sent us wonderful pictures and videos. We will definitely be contacting him again in the future about watching our dogs!!!”


About: I grew up around animals I used to have a schnauzer when I was a child and recently put her down which really hurt. I grew up around horses and dogs my whole life. My current job is as a horse groom and I work at a barn which is pet friendly and with your permission I can take your pet to the barn and walk them for along time if the dog is hyper. I’m very down to earth and just great with animals. Have lots of experience with animals and have no doubt that in a emergency I will respond correctly due to experience. You can trust your pet with me as so much has done before. I look forward to working with your pet and just enjoying them. I will treat your pet as if mine cause I know the joy of what it is to have a dog. I work a lot from home so I gave a lot of time to the animals in which I take care of. We love daily walks and have a farm we own in lexington which we go often to walk my mothers dogs or barbecuing! You can trust us with your furry friend! I have multiple years in experience around horses and dogs as well as cats. Growing up around event and jumper horses as well as administering first aid and proper care to all barn animals. We love nature and all of gods gifts to us.
