“Luke & Aria (your sweet Doberman) thanks for providing a great afternoon for GiGi! I appreciate that they could play so well together in your fenced yard, that she had a lot of water and potty breaks and that you gave very good supervision. It was so nice to hear that you would love to take care of her again, to read your nice comments and that you provided cuddle time. You live in such a convenient location near a highway exit and other Rover clients could get a lot of errands done close to your home. We will call again.”


“Anna is fabulous! We have a new puppy and she has watched him all week for us while we are at work! She makes sure he gets playtime with her dogs and naps in too! She sends lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we love! She has done great with helping his potty training and keeping us informed with his rover card each day!”


“Terry and Sam were both very welcoming, and Apollo was interested in checking out their house and didn't care when I left. He had such a great time that he wasn't interested in leaving at the end of his stay. 😊”


About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. In my younger years I would dog sit at peoples houses, in the last few years I would watch friends and families dogs. I have had everything everything from a potty training puppy to a senior dog. I work full time at home. I have kids ranging from 12-16 who love and respect animals. I do run kids to practice in the evenings and such but someone is home at all times. I have a fenced in yard that I look out from my desk. My work is flexible for me to be able to let your dog out as needed.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.

“We love Mary and so does Honey! She always comes home happy and exhausted. Mary is so flexible and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond! 10/10 recommended”


“Amanda watched my dog on a few hours notice for our wedding, and it was such a relief that he was in good care! She was so flexible and easygoing and our dog definitely had a blast!”


“Michelle is truly the best - whenever I drop my dog off, she runs to greet Michelle and is so excited to see her. It’s so nice to know that my dog is in such good hands. We will be back again soon!”

About: Hello! Pauli and Dom here. We have a large property and lots of room for pups to run. We have a dedicated ~2 acres of fully fenced in yard space for our dogs and dogs that are visiting. We have decades of experience in dog training and care. We used to board every dog and lots of them. Now we have a family and our kids are involved in the care. We are selective and only take dogs that are a good fit for our family at this time. We have dogs and cats inside our home. We both work but generally we are working from home nearly every day and someone is always home. This allows us to be flexible regarding scheduling for the dogs and for pick up and drop off. Dogs will be crated overnight and when not under our direct supervision. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! We live on a small farm and are basically always home. We both generally work from home and can be flexible to the dogs’ needs. We have a fenced in area outside and an extra room for our visiting dogs. Dogs may have the run of the house under supervision if well behaved, although most dogs tend to want to be outside playing.

About: Always lived with dogs, love pets, we have 5 (2 dogs, 3 cats). My pets are my family/kids, typical Millenial here. That means I’ve trained them well, I make sure everyone is properly stimulated and has had the opportunity to play/exercise. I have puzzles for both my dogs and cats. My newest kitten even has a treadmill that she loves. I’ve got kongs..pig ears..dog wipes. I trim my own pets nails. We just ensure we are giving them a fun and loving home. They aren’t just like an accessory. So your pup - will be a member of my family for the time they are here! My dogs are not dangerous at all. They are a choc lab and a pitbull mix. They will love having some friends from time to time at the house too. And we have a great flexible home for it too. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and have a fairly flexible schedule otherwise where we may be home more than that. Ideally, I get a walk in before the day gets too hot, then I often do some sort of yard work where the pups (and cats sometimes) hang out with me outdoors in the evening. Weekends are usually very chill and mostly at home. We may have one social outing but with sitting a dog we would be very mindful of that (and are never gone all day because of our dogs too!) While our yard isn’t fenced, I can leash the pup or just walk out with them leashed. Your dog will be not just be let out and unsupervised during their stay- as the yard is new for them and they won’t know the natural boundaries like our dog does. I’m not in a super busy area, so there aren’t a million cars coming by. As for inside the home, our dogs stay down in the basement where it’s nice and cool and hardwood floors. Banjo has ate a blanket in the past, so he has a fenced off part of the basement near the door that has no fabric in it. Mabel free roams downstairs and can sleep on the couch or several dog beds. We can accommodate your dog as you see fit. If it is crate trained or not. The rest of the downstairs doors are shut or partially locked open for cats. We will also allow the dog to sleep in our bedroom if needed. Our whole thing is the dog will be part of our pack/family. So that includes a safe place and changing the environment based on their needs.

About: I’m blessed to be able to work from home to provide your pup the attention they need. Your pup will have two daily walks, playtime in the fenced backyard, a box of indoor toys with two dog beds and a kennel bed to choose from. My pup Gus recently passed so, I’m looking to share my love, cuddles, energy and basically spoil your pup. I used Roover for my pup so I know how important receiving multiple daily photos and videos are so you know your pet is safe and having fun. If your pet requires, I offer baths, brushing, trimming, administering medications, and hygiene needs. I was particular with my pups care and I can do the same for you, consistently is important to you and your pup. I’m excited to provide care to your pup’s needs until you return home. Since I work from home, it’s easy to provide the personalized care your pet needs. I’m willing to customize my schedule for your pet needs. Your pets safety is my priority. I provide leashed walks, and/or play time in the back yard. I’m able to customize a plan that best fits your dog’s needs.

They are allowed to snuggle on the sofa, and bed. I have a doggie door for the nice summer days. Only when I'm home.

About: I have had dogs growing up, many different breeds and sizes growing up from a young teenager until adulthood, where I have owned numerous breeds. I am currently a stay at home mom. My schedule is wide open. I am home a majority of the day, unless I have ice cream events, but I will block those dates off my calendar so that I'm able to give 100% attention to your furry friend(s). I have a fenced in backyard. Plenty of toys in the back yard to play with, and my 2 danes will keep all of your fur babies running, and playing for hours. Fur babies are allowed to relax on the couch, when they want to take a nap. My kiddos will always love on your fur babies while you are gone. I have a 12 year old, 11 year old, a 5 year old and a 10 month old. All help me take care of our danes by feeding them giving them water, taking them out potty.
