We love Tracy and have seen so much improvement in our pup's ability to trust other friends and vet staff since meeting Tracy. Tracy immediately makes our pup feel well loved and comfortable, and often Ressu will walk in to Tracy's house like it's her home! Thank you Tracy!

Mike is our absolute favorite when it comes to care for our two dogs. He is so friendly and takes amazing care of our dogs while we are away at work. He sends pictures and updates throughout the day which is so appreciated. He has a lovely fenced in yard for the dogs to play in, and when they are inside he allows them to get comfy on the couches! Our dogs love going to Mikes house, all I have to do is say “Who wants to go to Mikes?” and they both jump up and nudge their leashes by the front door! Our one dog was adopted a couple years ago and was still struggling with opening up to other dogs when we first started bringing them to Mikes house 7 months ago. Fast forward to now, she is so excited to go to his house and is playing wonderfully with the other dogs. He is patient, kind, and loves the dogs in his care and it shows. Our girls are always happy and tired from playing upon their return home. He is always our first choice whenever we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you so much for everything you do, Mike!

Caleb is a wonderful care taker for pups! He took time to understand our dog, and sent updates. Our pup takes time to build trust as a rescue stray, and he let Caleb touch him on day 1. Highly recommend!

This was our first experience using Lynn to provide an afternoon of daycare for our two, 1-1/2 yr old labs Maggie and Willow. Lynn met with us for a visit before we booked this daycare service and we found Lynn to be very knowledgeable, confident, cheerful and pleasant to work with. She did a great job answering all of questions and gave us the time we needed to ask them. On the day of daycare she took extra care in introducing our pups to the other dogs since Maggie can be very timid and a bit insecure. Everything went really well and by all indications Maggie and Willow had a great time. We will certainly book future stays with Lynn.

About: Your pup will be the only one in our care during their stay! They will get all the cuddles, all the love, all the attention and all the things! They will enjoy our fenced in backyard and will be allowed to roam through our entire home. Jazmin is a college student home for the summer, and is in her 3rd year. She is on the deans list, and committed to getting good grades, being reliable and dependable, and willing to help provide a loving home for your pet! Jazmin will be away starting mid-August and since our family enjoyed every single dog we had over the summer, Mary has decided to continue providing care to help offset college expenses. Mary works from home, so your pup will never be alone for more than a couple hours if needed to run errands. We had a boxer that we raised from 10 weeks old to 12 years old. Unfortunately she was laid to rest in February 25, so your pet will be given a lot of love and affection and help fill our empty home. We have experience with puppy's all the way to senior dogs who are blind, deaf, diabetic, have seizures, etc. We have watched family's, neighbors, and friends dogs. We would be honored for you to share your pup with us while you are away. Our price reflects our care and amenities; fenced in yard with shade trees, allowed on beds and couches, we don't require a kennel unless needed, we wash food/water bowls daily, a GPS tag will be used in case you pup escapes, someone is always home, numerous walks around the block, pictures will be sent daily, access to all 3 levels of our home and we only take 1 family at a time! Jazmin will return from school in December 2025-January 2026 and again in mid-May 2026 to mid-August 2026. Is this your first time on Rover? Use Code: JAZMIC96925, to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! Jazmin is away at college right now. Mary works from home and can attend to your dog as much as needed. Someone will always be home with your pet so they can receive the adequate amount of care that they need. We are also available for dog walking, potty breaks at the pets home, and pretty much everything. We have a fenced in yard, dogs are allowed on the couch, bed and all areas of our home. Whether you prefer kennel or no kennel either works for us, walks will be provided upon request and medication for senior dogs will be administered if needed. I am open for helping in whatever way I can, and I am willing to accommodate within reason.

Bethany was THE BEST person for my dog. She has a very lovely home that is tidy and has created such a calming and welcoming vibe. Throughout the sit, she would keep me informed on what was going on and reassured my anxieties of leaving my dog with her. She listens and respects any of your requests. I could tell my dog had a lovely time with her because by the time I came to pick him up, he was hesitant to leave, which all the good signs that he felt at home. If I'm ever in the area again, Bethany would ultimately be my first choice. Thank you Bethany for all you've done to help my dog feel like it was another home and friend to visit.

About: The two loves of my life were my dog, Abby, and my dog Bronx. Abby was a Siberian husky and Bronx a 15” lemon beagle. Bronx was part of my life for 20 years and just recently passed. I honestly can’t imagine a life without animals in it, and one day I wanna be able to reflect back on my life, knowing that I did as much as I could to help as many animals as possible, which is why becoming a part of ROVER is so appealing. I have an incredibly flexible work schedule that will enable me to schedule my work hours around my hours caring for animals. I truly believe that animals are every bit as important as we are, and I think pet owners will be able to rest easy, leaving their pets in my care, knowing that their health and safety will be of the utmost importance to me! I have a two-story condo that they would be able to spend most of their time in with me. I also have a heated garage that I’ve converted into a safe and comfortable area for animals to play in. In addition to that, I live in Woodbury, literally surrounded by parks, full of walking paths that will be ideal for a dogs exercise. One thing I would like pet owners to know is that I’m not doing this for the money, I’m doing this because I’m newly single and alone and can’t think of anybody better to spend my time with than animals in need. I wouldn’t just be some dog watcher, I would be their friend that plays with them and loves being with them.

About: I am available full time, currently attending school online, and have a fully fenced backyard. I have always had animals in my life and currently have an 11yo Border Collie (Aloha), a 3yo Husky-Malamute (Carlos), a 2yo Husky mix (Mango) and a 6yo tabby cat (Penny). I know how to handle large, strong dogs (Carlos is 80lb pure muscle!) and have experience with puppies as young as 2w old. I have experience training my two youngest pups since they were born and love dogs of all sizes. I specialize in high energy breeds and appreciate the laid back breeds as well- we have it all in my home! I will treat your furry friends as well as I do my own and will send pictures and videos while you are away so you can enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe and happy with me :) I am currently attending school online so I am very flexible in terms of availability. I have experience with training and care of pups as young as two weeks old and know how important mentally stimulating activities are. I love all dog breeds and all cat breeds as well. I have a fully fenced backyard with an invisible fence installed, and 3 dogs that love to play with others. We have crates and can easily crate any and all dogs if needed.
