“Chelsea-Jo and Austin were great! This was my pet's first time boarding and I was put at ease with all of the photos and updates I would get daily. They made it very easy to meet up even with being on base. Would book with them again!”
About: I’ve personally had a dog for 8 years, and help my mother babysit dogs on rover! I love taking care and walking dogs as well. I’ve just recently graduated high school this month, so i now have some spare time on my hands during the day to walk dogs on the side! I have a fenced yard where ur doggies can play and roam around in! if you prefer cage i can accommodate that! just depends on your preferences
“This was a short boarding experience of only 2 nights but everything went well. Our dog came back happy and healthy and we were happy with the updates and pictures. It felt nice to leave him with a friendly happy family.”
About: I have 25+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know firsthand that dogs are part of our family. While your dogs are with us, we welcome them as part of our family and treat them with the same love and care as our own. I maintain a calm, clean and safe environment. Whether relaxing indoors, or playing in our safe, fenced backyard, your dogs will always be carefully supervised. I also send regular photo updates throughout the day so you can see how your dog is doing and have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible to allow for regular potty breaks, playtime and meal schedules. I provide calm, clean, and cozy environment, with a fully fenced yard where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I also send regular photos and updates throughout their stay.
About: I’ve lived with dogs & cats (literally) my entire life! I’ve taken care of both young and senior pets and I have experience with administering medication orally and through injection as well! I’m a senior in high school, so I have school most weekdays from 9:00-2:10. I also work part time on occasion from 4-9:20 as well as every Sunday 11:30-4:00. I have a big schedule, but I can always find a way around it to take care of your pet 🥰❤️ I have a fenced yard and two german shepards and a domestic shorthair (who stays in my basement.) I have previous experience caring for pets in my home by keeping them in my room that can be locked from the outside (large dog care may be difficult but we can figure something out ☺️.) In your home, I will be sure to leave everything as it was. I will notify you of everything I do in your home. As an anxious person myself with multiple pets, your pets will be safe in my hands 😊
“Corey took very good care of my dog for 5 days while I was out of town and helped the dog to feel as much at home as possible. He also kept me well updated with how my dog was doing while I was away as well as provided pictures of the dog. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for boarding their dog somewhere.”
“Genevieve was a blessing to our family and how she took care of Cedar. He had a great time, I can tell by how he ran to the door looking for her after she left. Our communication was great - Genevieve provided updates via text so I always knew how Cedar was doing. Her picking and dropping off Cedar also took the stress away. I would gladly use Genevieve again and again!”
About: Hi, I’m Taylah! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12, helping raise Great Danes, a Husky, and puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and care. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight stays, and doggy day care. I also welcome holiday bookings—just send me a message! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I go on walks every day, so bringing a furry friend along is always a joy, not a task. Whether it’s morning strolls or evening wind-downs, I’m already active and outdoors, which makes it easy to give your dog the exercise and attention they need. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present and responsive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just a little extra love throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. In my home, dogs have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax, with plenty of room to play and nap. I follow their regular routines—feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions—to make the transition smooth and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and the pet’s comfort zone. I keep things consistent by sticking to your pet’s usual routine, offering companionship, regular potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well-cared for—whether they’re in my home or their own.
About: As a former senior dog owner, I understand the patience, love, and attention our furry companions deserve at every stage of life. I'm experienced caring for multiple dogs! I am comfortable with pets that require medications, mobility assistance, special diets, or extra attention. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy or a sweet senior, I'll provide personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. As a United States Air Force member, I work Monday–Friday with consistent hours, leaving evenings and weekends free to board, walk, and love your pets! I provide personalized care by following each pet's routine, ensuring exercise, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of love, attention, companionship, and comfort.
“Dixie had a great time with Dorrie & Rob. We received daily updates showing our girl napping and walking - her two favorite things. Dixie appears to have been very comfortable, including with Dottie, the resident labradoodle. We’re glad to know she was in such good hands while we were away.”
“Joy and her family did a wonderful job taking care of my dog especially after accommodating me on several fronts — including a last minute request and a dog food delivery that never arrived. She was communicative and courteous and followed care instructions to the letter. She has a great backyard with a pool! Her kids are gentle and loving with pets. Would highly recommend and definitely book again!”

I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to care for pets of all ages and personalities to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Ingrid was so amazing with my cocoa bear. She sent pictures every day and updated me on her appetite, her behavior, and how she was doing. I felt at ease knowing that my sweet girl was in wonderful hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer once again took great care of my pup. Even when Daisy's care at the last minute became more involved, she didn't hesitate to care for her. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind Jennifer gives me so I can enjoy vacation and not worry about the care of my pup.”
“Michelle and Terry took great care of our pup. They were quick to respond, update and sent us photos and video to let us know how things were going. They have a big yard, which was a plus since our Golden is a big boy. We will be reaching out again.”
“My dog Sammy loves staying with Luz. Her dogs, Professor and Chickenleigh are very sweet and kept Sammy company during his stay. Luz was very attentive and sent me pictures everyday. Highly recommend!”

Camila and her family took amazing care of my dog, Juancho, while I was away for 6 days. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Every day, Camila sent me pictures and updates of Juancho smiling, relaxing, and getting plenty of belly rubs from the kids. It gave me so much peace of mind being able to see how happy and well taken care of he was while I was away. You can truly tell that Camila and her family genuinely love dogs and treated Juancho like part of their family. I’m extremely grateful for the care they gave him, and I will definitely book with Camila again whenever I need someone I can trust to take care of my dog. I highly recommend her and her family!
I don't know where to begin. I guess it all started even before the boarding - excellent communication, asked relevant questions, and just demonstrated overall enthusiasm and care for the boarding. During the stay, she provided pictures and updates, and again, just excelled in communication which made me feel comfortable and at ease. She was also very flexible with me with the pickup which I valued. 10/10, don't hesitate to book with her!
Angeline was the best choice for dog sitting my two pups. She was very communicative, had great knowledge of my dogs needs, and was super accommodating for picking up the dogs after my delayed flight. I will 100% be using Angeline in the future. She is so caring and takes care of the dogs as if they are her own. I greatly appreciate all she did for me and Basil and Dill.
Great communication, very responsive and detailed with all concerns as a first-time client. My crazy little Boston terrier opened up to her day 1 as if he had always known her :-) Would absolutely book with again, thank you for providing Ozzie a true home away from home!
We had a great experience with Michael and Alaina and would absolutely book with them again! They have a beautiful, spacious home with a large fenced yard that gave our dogs plenty of room to run around and play. One of the highlights was that our dogs became great friends with their dog, Deji. They had so much fun playing together, and it was clear from the updates that everyone was getting along wonderfully. We also really appreciated the daily photos and videos they sent. Seeing our dogs happy, relaxed, and having a great time gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to know they were safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Bryant and the family were outstanding. They took such great care of my fur baby Chance. They gave constant updates and videos of their interactions and having fun with the doggie! They were by far my he best caregivers we have ever had using Rover. I definitely recommend them and hopefully they will be available for the next time. Thanks again for taking such good care of Chance!!!
We left our dog, Peaches, with Eileen for two weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Eileen was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated Peaches as if she were her own. Throughout our trip, she was very responsive and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we would highly recommend Eileen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Eileen, for taking such wonderful care of Peaches! 🐾❤️
What a relief that I found Nancy! I knew from the moment we met that she genuinely loves and cares about dogs!! She took great care of our little guy, sent multiple pictures daily during his stay, and made everything so easy. We found a winner and will absolutely seek her out again!
Jessica was amazing with my senior English Bulldog. I went away for a holiday for my best friend’s wedding. I was a little nervous about leaving Desi, as he can be reactive so we scheduled a meet up beforehand. This gave me some peace of mind when Desi made himself right at home. Jessica was great about sending updates throughout my trip and was able to easily manage Desi’s supplements and high maintenance behavior.
